Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
and its majority owned subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent
with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 28, 2008 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Effective December 29, 2008, the beginning of the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. This Statement changes the
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (commonly
referred to previously as minority interest). Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (Piedmont)
is the Companys only subsidiary that has a noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest income
of $.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 (Q2 2009), $1.0 million in the first half of 2009
(YTD 2009), $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 (Q2 2008) and $1.0 million in the first
half of 2008 (YTD 2008) have been reclassified to be included in net income on the Companys
consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the amount of consolidated net income
attributable to both the Company and the noncontrolling interest are shown on the Companys
consolidated statement of operations. Noncontrolling interest related to Piedmont totaled $51.4
million, $50.4 million and $49.0 million at June 28, 2009, December 28, 2008 and June 29, 2008,
respectively. These amounts have been reclassified as noncontrolling interest in the equity
section of the Companys consolidated balance sheets.
Management
evaluated all activity of the Company through August 7, 2009 (the issue date of the
Companys consolidated financial statements) and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred
that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
During Q2 2009, the Companys provider of property and casualty insurance requested the Company
increase the face amount of the letters of credit the Company is required to provide for the
property and casualty insurance programs. Simultaneously with the required increase in the letters
of credit, the Company was required to maintain $4.5 million in a separate bank account as
collateral for these letters of credit which was recorded as restricted cash.
2. Seasonality of Business
Historically, operating results for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year have not
been representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results primarily
from higher unit sales of the Companys products in the second and third quarters versus the first
and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are not
significantly impacted by business seasonality.
3. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership
On July 2, 1993, the Company and The Coca-Cola Company formed Piedmont to distribute and market
nonalcoholic beverages primarily in portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. The Company
provides a portion of the nonalcoholic beverage products to Piedmont at cost and receives
a fee for managing the operations of Piedmont pursuant to a management agreement. These
intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling interest as of June 28, 2009, December 28, 2008 and June 29, 2008 represents the
portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Companys interest in Piedmont
was 22.7% for all periods presented.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $30.4 million and $33.6 million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008,
respectively. These amounts included amortization expense for leased property under capital
leases.
The Company changed the useful lives of certain cold drink dispensing equipment from thirteen to
fifteen years in the first quarter of 2009 (Q1 2009) to better reflect actual useful lives. The
change in useful lives reduced depreciation expense in Q2 2009 and
YTD 2009 by $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility ($200 million
facility), replacing its $100 million facility. The $200 million facility matures in March 2012
and includes an option to extend the term for an additional year at the discretion of the
participating banks. The $200 million facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a
floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .35%, dependent on the length of the term
of the borrowing. In addition, the Company must pay an annual facility fee of .10% of the
lenders aggregate commitments under the facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility
fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Companys long-term senior
unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a fixed
charges coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit
agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the Company to maintain a consolidated cash
flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the
Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or lower. On August 25, 2008, the
Company entered into an amendment to the $200 million facility. The amendment clarified that
charges incurred by the Company resulting from the Companys withdrawal from the Central States
Pension Fund (Central States) would be excluded from the calculations of the financial covenants
to the extent they were incurred on or before March 31, 2009 and did not exceed $15 million. See Note
18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details on the withdrawal from Central States. The Company
is currently in compliance with these covenants as amended by the amendment to the $200 million facility.
These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its
liquidity or capital resources. On June 28, 2009 and December 28, 2008, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings under the $200 million facility.

10. Debt
On June 29, 2008, the Company had $30.0 million outstanding under the $200 million facility. On
July 1, 2009 the Company borrowed $55.0 million under the $200 million facility and used the proceeds, along with $2.4 million of cash on hand, to repay at maturity the Companys $57.4 million outstanding 7.20% Debentures due 2009.
As the $200 million facility does not mature until March 2012, the portion of the 7.20% Debentures due 2009 refinanced prior to the release of the June 28, 2009 consolidated financial statements
has been classified as long-term as of June 28, 2009. The $2.4 million of the 7.20% Debentures due 2009 paid with cash on hand has been classified as current as of June 28, 2009.
In April 2009, the Company issued $110 million of unsecured 7% Senior Notes due
2019. The
proceeds plus cash on hand were used on May 1, 2009 to repay at maturity the $119.3 million
outstanding 6.375% Debentures due 2009.
After taking into account all of its interest rate hedging activities, the Company had a weighted
average interest rate of 5.7%, 5.9% and 5.4% for its debt and capital lease obligations as of June
28, 2009, December 28, 2008 and June 29, 2008, respectively. The Companys overall weighted
average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 5.7% for YTD 2009 compared to
5.8% for YTD 2008. As of June 28, 2009, approximately 4.6% of the Companys debt and capital lease
obligations of $645.2 million was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
The Companys public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of
certain liens and encumbrances as well as the incurrence of indebtedness by the Companys
subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.
All of the outstanding long-term debt has been issued by the Company with none being issued by any
of the Companys subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Companys debt.
11. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest
The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to modify risk from interest rate
fluctuations. The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon
anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Companys debt level and the potential
impact of changes in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity
analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of
various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments.
On September 18, 2008, the Company terminated six outstanding interest rate swap agreements with a
notional amount of $225 million receiving $6.2 million in cash proceeds including $1.1 million for
previously accrued interest receivable. After accounting for previously accrued interest
receivable, the Company is amortizing the gain of $5.1 million over the remaining term of the
underlying debt. During YTD 2009, $.8 million of the gain was amortized. The remaining amount to
be amortized is $3.9 million. All of the Companys interest rate swap agreements were LIBOR-based.

The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which
the Company also has other financial relationships. The Company uses several different financial
institutions for interest rate derivative agreements and commodity derivative instruments,
described below, to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the Company is exposed to
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the Company does not anticipate
nonperformance by these parties. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its
derivative financial agreements that provided for net settlement of the derivative transactions.
Commodities
The Company is subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices. In
the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies,
including the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments for
trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either
assets or liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments
are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and are used as economic hedges to manage certain commodity
risk. Currently the Company has derivative instruments to hedge its projected diesel fuel and
aluminum purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are marked to market on a periodic
basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying
hedged item. Settlement of derivative agreements are included in cash
flows from operating activities on the Companys consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge essentially all of its projected diesel fuel
purchases for 2009 and 2010. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel used by the
Companys delivery fleet. At the end of Q1 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments
to hedge approximately 75% of the Companys projected 2010 aluminum purchase requirements. During
Q2 2009, the Company entered into derivative agreements to hedge approximately 75% of the
Companys projected 2011 aluminum purchase requirements.

its financial instruments:

Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts
payable approximate carrying values due to the short maturity of these items.
Public Debt Securities
The fair values of the Companys public debt securities are based on estimated current market
prices.
Non-Public Variable Rate Debt
The carrying amounts of the Companys variable rate borrowings approximate their fair values.
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets/Liabilities
The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, which are held in mutual
funds, are based upon the quoted market value of the securities held within the mutual funds.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values for the Companys interest rate swap, fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements
are based on current settlement values. Credit risk related to the derivative financial
instruments is managed by requiring high standards for its counterparties and periodic
settlements. The Company considers nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of
derivative financial instruments.
Letters of Credit
The fair values of the Companys letters of credit obtained from financial institutions are based
on the notional amounts of the instruments. These letters of credit primarily relate to the
Companys property and casualty insurance programs.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Companys debt, deferred compensation plan, derivative
financial instruments and letters of credit were as follows:

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On September 18, 2008, the Company terminated all of its outstanding interest rate swap agreements.
The fair value of interest rate swap agreements at June 29, 2008 represented the estimated amount
the Company would have received upon termination of these agreements.
The fair values of the fuel hedging agreements at December 28, 2008 represented the estimated
amount the Company would have paid upon termination of these agreements. The fair value of the
fuel hedging agreements at June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 represented the estimated amount the
Company would have received upon termination of these agreements.
The fair value of the aluminum hedging agreements at June 28, 2009 represented the estimated amount
the Company would have received upon termination of these agreements.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement
(SFAS No. 157) as of December 31, 2007, the beginning of the first quarter of 2008, and there was
no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 157 currently applies to all
financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or
disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157, which deferred the application date of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial
assets and liabilities until Q1 2009 except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. There was no material impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities in Q1 2009, but such adoption
could have a material effect in the future. SFAS No. 157 requires disclosure that establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 is intended to enable the readers of financial statements to assess the inputs used to
develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of
the information used to determine fair values. SFAS No. 157 requires that assets and liabilities
carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other
highly compensated employees. The investment assets are held in mutual funds. The fair value of
the mutual funds is based on the quoted market value of the securities held within the funds (Level
1). The related deferred compensation liability represents the fair value of the investment
assets.
The Companys fuel hedging agreements are based upon NYMEX rates that are observable and quoted
periodically over the full term of the agreements and are considered Level 2 items.
The Companys aluminum hedging agreements are based upon LME rates that are observable and quoted
periodically over the full term of the agreements and are considered Level 2 items.
The Companys interest rate swap agreements were fair value hedges, as a result the Company received
fixed and paid variable rates based on LIBOR swap rates. LIBOR swap rates were observable and
quoted periodically over the full term of the agreements and were considered Level 2 items.
The Company does not have Level 3 assets or liabilities.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a member of South Atlantic Canners, Inc. (SAC), a manufacturing cooperative from
which it is obligated to purchase 17.5 million cases of finished product on an annual basis
through May 2014. The Company is also a member of Southeastern Container (Southeastern), a
plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative from which it is obligated to purchase at least 80% of
its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories. See Note 19 to the
consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning SAC and Southeastern.
The Company guarantees a portion of SACs and Southeasterns debt and lease obligations. The
amounts guaranteed were $39.2 million, $39.9 million and $43.2 million as of June 28, 2009,
December 28, 2008 and June 29, 2008, respectively. The Company has not recorded any liability
associated with these guarantees and holds no assets as collateral against these guarantees. The
guarantees relate to the debt and lease obligations of SAC and Southeastern, which resulted
primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities. These guarantees expire at
various dates through 2021. The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca-Cola
bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill their
commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient assets,
including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust selling
prices of their products which adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Companys
guarantees.
In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt
and lease obligations, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the
level of the guarantees. If these cooperatives had borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, the
Companys maximum exposure under these guarantees on June 28, 2009 would have been $25.2 million
for SAC and $25.3 million for Southeastern and the Companys maximum total exposure, including its
equity investment, would have been $30.8 million for SAC and $38.6 million for Southeastern.
The Company has been purchasing plastic bottles from Southeastern and finished products from SAC
for more than ten years.
The Company has an equity ownership in each of the entities in addition to the guarantees of
certain indebtedness and records its investment in each under the equity method. As of June 28,
2009, SAC had total assets of approximately $42 million and total debt of approximately $20
million. SAC had total revenues for YTD 2009 of approximately $83 million. As of June 28, 2009,
Southeastern had total assets of approximately $403 million and total debt of approximately $228
million. Southeastern had total revenue for YTD 2009 of approximately $289 million.
The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty
insurance programs. On June 28, 2009, these letters of credit totaled $22.4 million. The Company was required to maintain $4.5 million of restricted cash for letters of credit beginning Q2 2009.
The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige
properties, athletic venues and other locations. The future payments related to these contractual
arrangements as of June 28, 2009 amounted to $24.2 million and expire at various dates through
2017.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary
course of its business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims
and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the
Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably
possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings.
The Company is subject to audit by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business.
These audits may result in assessments that are subsequently resolved with the tax authorities or
potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any
assessments that are likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could
be different than the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
15. Income Taxes
The Companys effective income tax rate for YTD 2009 and YTD 2008 was 34.4% and 41.4%,
respectively.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the income tax expense at the statutory federal
rate to actual income tax expense.

The Company had $10.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest as of
December 28, 2008, of which $9.4 million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if
recognized. As of June 28, 2009, the Company had $9.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits,
including accrued interest, of which $8.3 million would affect the Companys effective rate if
recognized. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next 12
months. During this period, it is reasonably possible that tax audits could reduce unrecognized
tax benefits. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the change in the amount of unrecognized tax
benefits until further information is made available during the progress of the audits.
The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in
income tax expense. As of December 28, 2008, the Company had approximately $2.5 million of accrued
interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of June 28, 2009, the Company had approximately
$1.9 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense included
an interest credit of approximately $.6 million in YTD 2009 and interest expense of approximately
$.2 million in YTD 2008.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
15. Income Taxes
In Q1 2009, the Company reached an agreement with a state taxing authority to settle prior tax
positions for which the Company had previously provided reserves due to uncertainty of resolution.
As a result, the Company reduced the liability for uncertain tax positions by $1.7 million. The
net effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense of approximately $1.7 million.
Various tax years from 1990 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company
is subject due to loss carryforwards.
The Companys income tax assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment in future periods based
on the Companys ongoing evaluations of such assets and liabilities and new information that
becomes available to the Company.
16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of adjustments relative to the Companys pension
and postretirement medical benefit plans and foreign currency translation adjustments required for
a subsidiary of the Company that performs data analysis and provides consulting services outside
the United States.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
17. Capital Transactions
The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding, Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
The Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Marketsm under the symbol COKE.
There is no established public trading market for the Class B Common Stock. Shares of the Class B
Common Stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of Common Stock at any time at
the option of the holders of Class B Common Stock.
No cash dividend or dividend of property or stock other than stock of the Company, as specifically
described in the Companys certificate of incorporation, may be declared and paid on the Class B
Common Stock unless an equal or greater dividend is declared and paid on the Common Stock. During
YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, dividends of $.50 per share were declared and paid on both Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common
Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share at all meetings of stockholders. Except as otherwise
required by law, holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single
class on all matters brought before the Companys stockholders. In the event of liquidation,
there is no preference between the two classes of common stock.
On May 12, 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved a restricted stock award for J. Frank
Harrison, III, the Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer,
consisting of 200,000 shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock. Under the award, shares of
restricted stock were granted at a rate of 20,000 shares per year over a ten-year period. The
vesting of each annual installment was contingent upon the Company achieving at least 80% of the
overall goal achievement factor in the Companys Annual Bonus Plan. The restricted stock award did
not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in dividend or voting rights until each installment
had vested and the shares were issued. The restricted stock award expired at the end of fiscal
year 2008. Each annual 20,000 share tranche had an independent performance requirement as it was not
established until the Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets were approved each year by the Companys
Board of Directors. As a result, each 20,000 share tranche was considered to have its own service
inception date, grant-date fair value and requisite service period. The Companys Annual Bonus
Plan targets, which establish the performance requirement for the restricted stock awards, were
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each year.
On February 27, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined 20,000 shares
of restricted Class B Common Stock vested and should be issued to Mr. Harrison, III for the fiscal
year ended December 30, 2007. On March 4, 2009, the Compensation Committee determined an
additional 20,000 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock vested and should be issued to Mr.
Harrison, III for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008.

As of the end of Q2 2008, the Company estimated it would not achieve at least 80% of the overall
goal achievement factor in the Companys 2008 Annual Bonus Plan required for the restricted stock
award to vest. Accordingly, the estimated expense recorded in the first quarter of 2008 was
reversed in Q2 2008 based upon the Companys estimate. The Company reimbursed Mr. Harrison, III
for income taxes to be paid on the shares if the performance requirement was met and the shares
were issued. The Company accrued the estimated cost of the income tax reimbursement over the
one-year service period.
On April 29, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for
Mr. Harrison, III consisting of 400,000 performance units (Units). Each Unit represents the
right to receive one share of the Companys Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and
conditions. The Units will vest in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal
year 2009. The number of Units that vest each year will equal the product of 40,000 multiplied by
the overall goal achievement factor (not to exceed 100%) under the Companys Annual Bonus Plan.
The Performance Unit Award Agreement replaced the restricted stock award discussed above.
Each annual 40,000 unit tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not
established until the Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved each year by the Companys
Board of Directors. As a result, each 40,000 unit tranche is considered to have its own service
inception date and requisite service period. The Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets, which
establish the performance requirements for the Performance Unit Award Agreement, are approved by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each year. The
Performance Unit Award Agreement does not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in dividends or
voting rights until each installment has vested and the shares are issued. Mr. Harrison, III may
satisfy tax withholding requirements in whole or in part by requiring the Company to settle in
cash such number of Units otherwise payable in Class B Common Stock to meet the maximum statutory
tax withholding requirements.
Compensation expense recognized in YTD 2009 was $1.2 million, which was based upon a share price
of $58.18 on June 26, 2009.
On February 19, 2009, The Coca-Cola Company converted all of its 497,670 shares of the Companys
Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of the Companys Common Stock.
The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in YTD 2009 was due to the issuance of
20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award. The increase in the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding in YTD 2009 was due to the conversion by The
Coca-Cola Company of 497,670 shares of

Class B Common Stock into 497,670 shares of Common Stock plus the conversion of another 100 shares
of Class B Common Stock into 100 shares of Common Stock. The decrease in the number of shares of
Class B Common Stock outstanding in YTD 2009 was due to the conversion by The Coca-Cola Company of
497,670 shares of Class B Common Stock into 497,670 shares of Common Stock plus the conversion of
another 100 shares of Class B Common Stock into 100 shares of Common Stock, offset by the issuance
of 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award.
The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in YTD 2008 was due to the issuance of
20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award.
18. Benefit Plans
Recently Adopted Pronouncement
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS No. 158), which was
effective for the year ending December 31, 2006 except for the requirement that the benefit plan
assets and obligations be measured as of the date of the employers statement of financial
position, which was effective for the year ending December 28, 2008. The Company adopted the
measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158 on the first day of the first quarter of 2008 and used
the one measurement approach. The incremental effect of applying the measurement date provisions
on the balance sheet in the first quarter of 2008 was as follows:

Pension Plans
Retirement benefits under the two Company-sponsored pension plans are based on the employees
length of service, average compensation over the five consecutive years that give the highest
average compensation and average Social Security taxable wage base during the 35-year period
before reaching Social Security retirement age. Contributions to the plans are based on the
projected unit credit actuarial funding method and are limited to the amounts currently deductible
for income tax purposes. On February 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an
amendment to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan to cease further benefit accruals under
the plan effective June 30, 2006.

401(k) Savings Plan

of collective bargaining agreements. Matching contributions under this plan were $2.3 million and $5.2 million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, respectively. The Company suspended matching contributions to the 401(k) Savings Plan effective April 1, 2009.

18. Benefit Plans
Multi-Employer Benefits
The Company entered into a new agreement in the third quarter of 2008 when one of its collective
bargaining contracts expired in July 2008. The new agreement allows the Company to freeze its
liability to Central States, a multi-employer defined benefit pension fund, while preserving the
pension benefits previously earned by the employees. As a result of freezing the Companys
liability to Central States, the Company recorded a charge of $13.6 million in the second half of
2008. The Company paid $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 to the Southern States Savings
and Retirement Plan (Southern States) under the agreement to freeze the Central States liability.
The remaining $10.6 million was the present value amount, using a discount rate of 7%, that will be
paid to Central States and was recorded in other liabilities. The Company will pay approximately
$1 million annually over the next 20 years. In addition, the Company will also make future
contributions on behalf of these employees to Southern States.
19. Related Party Transactions
The Companys business consists primarily of the production, marketing and distribution of
nonalcoholic beverages of The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole owner of the secret formulas

Company and CCE. As of June 28, 2009, CCE held approximately 6% of the Companys outstanding
Common Stock and held no shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock.
Along with all other Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States, the Company is a member in Coca-Cola
Bottlers Sales and Services Company, LLC (CCBSS), which was formed in 2003 for the
purposes of facilitating various procurement functions and distributing certain specified beverage
products of The Coca-Cola Company with the intention of enhancing the efficiency and
competitiveness of the Coca-Cola bottling system in the United States. CCBSS negotiates the
procurement for the majority of the Companys raw materials (excluding concentrate). The Company
pays an administrative fee to CCBSS for its services.
The Company is a member of SAC, a manufacturing cooperative. SAC sells finished products to the
Company and Piedmont at cost. Purchases from SAC by the Company and Piedmont for finished products
were $65.0 million and $76.6 million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, respectively. The Company also
manages the operations of SAC pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees earned from SAC
were $.6 million in YTD 2009 and $.7 million in YTD 2008. The Company has also guaranteed a
portion of debt for SAC. Such guarantee amounted to $20.2 million as of June 28, 2009. The
Companys equity investment in SAC was $5.6 million, $4.1 million and $4.1 million as of June 28,
2009, December 28, 2008 and June 29, 2008, respectively.
The Company is a shareholder in two entities from which it purchases substantially all its
requirements for plastic bottles. Net purchases from these entities were $33.7 million and $35.1
million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, respectively. In connection with its participation in one of
these entities, the Company has guaranteed a portion of the entitys debt. Such guarantee amounted
to $19.0 million as of June 28, 2009. The Companys equity investment in one of these entities,
Southeastern, was $13.3 million, $11.0 million and $11.0 million as of June 28, 2009, December 28,
2008 and June 29, 2008, respectively.
The Company monitors its investments in cooperatives and would be required to write down its
investment if an impairment is identified and the Company determined it to be other than temporary. No impairment
of the Companys investments in cooperatives has been identified as of June 28, 2009.
The Company recorded an adjustment to increase its equity investment in Southeastern in Q2 2008
which resulted in a nonrecurring pre-tax credit of $2.6 million. This adjustment was based on
information received from Southeastern during that quarter and reflected a higher share of
Southeasterns retained earnings compared to the amount previously recorded. The Company
classifies its equity in earnings of Southeastern in cost of sales consistent with the
classification of purchases from Southeastern.
The Company leases from Harrison Limited Partnership One (HLP) the Snyder Production Center and
an adjacent sales facility, which are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The current lease
expires on December 31, 2010. HLP is directly and indirectly owned by trusts of which J. Frank
Harrison, III, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
Deborah H. Everhart, a director of the Company, are trustees and beneficiaries. On March 23, 2009,
the Company modified the lease agreement (new terms to begin January 1, 2011) with HLP related to
the SPC lease. The modified lease would not have changed the classification of the existing lease
had it been in effect in the first quarter of 2002, when the capital lease was
28

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
19. Related Party Transactions
recorded, as the Company received a renewal option to extend the term of the lease, which it
expected to exercise. The modified lease did not extend the term of the existing lease (remaining
lease term was reduced from approximately 22 years to approximately 12 years). Accordingly, the
present value of the leased property under capital leases and capital lease obligations was
adjusted by an amount equal to the difference between the future minimum lease payments under the
modified lease agreement and the present value of the existing obligation on the modification date.
The capital lease obligations and leased property under capital leases were both decreased by $7.5
million in March 2009. The annual base rent the Company is obligated to pay under the modified
lease is subject to an adjustment for an inflation factor. The prior lease annual base rent was
subject to adjustment for an inflation factor and for increases or decreases in interest rates,
using LIBOR as the measurement device. The principal balance outstanding under this capital lease
as of June 28, 2009 was $29.7 million. Rental payments related to this lease were $1.7 million and
$1.9 million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, respectively.
The Company leases from Beacon Investment Corporation (Beacon) the Companys headquarters office
facility and an adjacent office facility. The lease expires on December 31, 2021. Beacons sole
shareholder is J. Frank Harrison, III. The principal balance outstanding under this capital lease
as of June 28, 2009 was $31.8 million. Rental payments related to the lease were $1.9 million in
both YTD 2009 and YTD 2008.

22. Risks and Uncertainties
Approximately 88% of the Companys YTD 2009 bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of
The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole supplier of these products or of the concentrates or
syrups required to manufacture these products. The remaining 12% of the Companys YTD 2009
bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of other beverage companies and the Company.
The Company has beverage agreements under which it has various requirements to meet. Failure to
meet the requirements of these beverage agreements could result in the loss of distribution rights
for the respective product.
The Companys products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and
other outlets. During YTD 2009, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can volume to retail
customers was sold for future consumption. The remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of
approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. The Companys largest customers, Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 19% and 11%, respectively, of the
Companys total bottle/can volume to retail customers during YTD
2009. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC accounted for
approximately 20% and 11%, respectively, of the Companys total bottle/can
volume to retail customers during YTD 2008. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
accounted for approximately 15% of the Companys total net sales
during YTD 2009. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately
14% of the Companys total net sales during YTD 2008.
The Company obtains all of its aluminum cans from one domestic supplier. The Company currently
obtains all of its plastic bottles from two domestic entities. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the
consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The Company is exposed to price risk on such commodities as aluminum, corn and resin which affects
the cost of raw materials used in the production of finished products. The Company both produces
and procures these finished products. Examples of the raw materials affected are aluminum cans and
plastic bottles used for packaging and high fructose corn syrup used as a product ingredient.
Further, the Company is exposed to commodity price risk on oil which impacts the Companys cost of
fuel used in the movement and delivery of the Companys products. The Company participates in
commodity hedging and risk mitigation programs administered both by CCBSS and by the Company. In
addition, there is no limit on the price The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies can
charge for concentrate.
Certain liabilities of the Company are subject to risk due to changes in both long-term and
short-term interest rates. These liabilities include floating rate debt, leases, retirement benefit
obligations and the Companys pension liability.
Approximately 7% of the Companys labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements. One
collective bargaining contract covering approximately .5% of the Companys employees expires during
the remainder of 2009.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 which defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement does not require any new fair value
measurements but could change the current practices in measuring current fair value measurements.
The Statement was effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2008 for all financial assets
and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value
on a recurring basis. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which deferred the application date of the provisions
of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities until Q1 2009 except for items that
are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The
adoption of this Statement and Staff Position did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements as of YTD 2009, but could have a material effect in the future. See Note 12
to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
In December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). This
Statement established principles and requirements for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets
and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in an acquisition, at
their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Statement was effective for Q1 2009. The impact
on the Company of adopting SFAS No. 141(R) depends on the nature, terms and size of business
combinations completed after the effective date.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. This Statement amended Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary
(commonly referred to previously as minority interest) and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.
This Statement was effective for the Company as of the beginning of Q1 2009 and is being applied
prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which have been applied
retrospectively. The adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). This Statement amends and
expands the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of
why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for and how they affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash
flows. The Statement was effective for Q1 2009. The adoption of this Statement did not impact the
consolidated financial statements other than expanded footnote disclosures related to derivative
instruments and related hedged items. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows
used to measure its fair value. FSP 142-3 was effective for Q1 2009. The Company does not expect
FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on the accounting for future acquisitions or renewals of
intangible assets, but the potential impact is dependent upon the acquisitions or renewals of
intangible assets in the future.
In September 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures About
Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB
Interpretation No. 45, and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 (FSP
133-1). FSP 133-1 amends Statement No. 133 to require a seller of credit derivatives to provide
certain disclosures for each credit derivative (or group of similar credit derivatives). FSP 133-1
also amends Interpretation No. 45 to require guarantors to disclose the current status of
payment/performance risk of guarantees and clarifies the effective date of SFAS No. 161. The
adoption of FSP 133-1 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on (1)
estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the
asset or liability have significantly decreased and (2) identifying transactions that are not
orderly. FSP 157-4 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
adoption of FSP 157-4 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2). FSP 115-2 amends the
other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational
and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and
equity securities. FSP 115-2 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15,
2009. The adoption of FSP 115-2 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about the
fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as
well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 was effective for interim periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. This Statement does not result in
significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports in its financial statements.
This Statement requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the
financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This Statement was effective for
the Company in Q2 2009, and the required disclosure has been included in Note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 requires enhanced disclosures
about plan assets of a companys defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The
enhanced disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with a greater
understanding of (1) employers investment strategies; (2) major categories of plan assets; (3)
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; (4) the effect
of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan
assets for the period; and (5) concentration of risk within plan assets. FSP 132(R)-1 is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this Statement will
not impact the Companys consolidated financial statements other than expanded footnote
disclosures related to the Companys pension plan assets.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement eliminates the exceptions for qualifying
special-purpose entities from consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale
accounting for certain mortgage securitization when a transferor has not surrendered control over
the transferred financial assets. This Statement is effective for annual reporting periods that
begin after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect this Statement to have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This
Statement amends Interpretation No. 46(R) to replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards
calculation for

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity (VIE) with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the
activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entitys economic performance and the
obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity. This Statement is
effective for annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The Company is in the
process of evaluating the impact of the Statement on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of
authoritative United States GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
This Statement and the Codification will not change GAAP. This Statement is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification will not change GAAP
and therefore should not impact the Companys consolidated financial statements.
25. Restructuring Expenses
On July 15, 2008, the Company initiated a plan to reorganize the structure of its operating units
and support services, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 350 positions, or
approximately 5% of its workforce. As a result of this plan, the Company incurred $4.6 million in
pre-tax restructuring expenses in 2008 for one-time termination benefits.
The following table summarizes restructuring activity, which is included in selling, delivery and
administrative expenses, for the year ended December 28, 2008 and the first half of the year ended
June 28, 2009.

Cautionary Information Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements. |
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated operations of the Company and its
majority-owned subsidiaries including Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (Piedmont). The
noncontrolling interest consists of The Coca-Cola Companys interest in Piedmont, which was 22.7%
for all periods presented.
Effective December 29, 2008, the beginning of the first quarter of 2009 (Q1 2009), the Company
implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest
in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. The Statement changes the
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (commonly
referred to previously as minority interest). Piedmont is the Companys only subsidiary that has a
noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest income of $.7 million in Q2 2009, $1.0 million in
YTD 2009, $1.4 million in Q2 2008 and $1.0 million in YTD 2008 have been reclassified to be
included in net income on the Companys consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the
amount of consolidated net income attributable to both the Company and the noncontrolling interest
are shown on the Companys consolidated statement of operations. Noncontrolling interest related
to Piedmont totaled $51.4 million, $50.4 million and $49.0 million at June 28, 2009, December 28,
2008 and June 29, 2008, respectively. These amounts have been reclassified as noncontrolling
interest in the equity section of the Companys consolidated balance sheets.
Our Business and the Nonalcoholic Beverage Industry
The Company produces, markets and distributes nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The
Coca-Cola Company, which include some of the most recognized and popular beverage brands in the
world. The Company
38
is the second largest bottler of products of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States,
distributing these products in eleven states primarily in the Southeast. The Company also
distributes several other beverage brands. These product offerings include both sparkling and still
beverages. Sparkling beverages are primarily carbonated beverages including energy products.
Still beverages are primarily noncarbonated beverages such as bottled water, tea, ready to drink
coffee, enhanced water, juices and sports drinks. The Company had net sales of approximately $1.5
billion in 2008.
The nonalcoholic beverage market is highly competitive. The Companys competitors include bottlers
and distributors of nationally and regionally advertised and marketed products and private label
products. In each region in which the Company operates, between 85% and 95% of sparkling beverage
sales in bottles, cans and other containers are accounted for by the Company and its principal
competitors, which in each region includes the local bottler of Pepsi-Cola and, in some regions,
the local bottler of Dr Pepper, Royal Crown and/or 7-Up products. During the last several years,
industry sales of sugar sparkling beverages, other than energy products, have declined. The
decline in sugar sparkling beverages has generally been offset by sales growth in other
nonalcoholic product categories. The sparkling beverage category (including energy products)
represents 82% of the Companys YTD 2009 bottle/can net sales.
The principal methods of competition in the nonalcoholic beverage industry are point-of-sale
merchandising, new product introductions, new vending and dispensing equipment, packaging changes,
pricing, price promotions, product quality, retail space management, customer service, frequency of
distribution and merchandising, and advertising. The Company believes it is competitive in its territories with
respect to each of these methods.
Historically, operating results for the second quarter and the first half of the fiscal year have
not been representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results
primarily from higher unit sales of the Companys products in the second and third quarters versus
the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are
not significantly impacted by business seasonality.
The Company performs its annual impairment test of franchise rights and goodwill as of the first
day of the fourth quarter. During YTD 2009, the Company believes it has not experienced any events
or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amounts of the Companys franchise rights
or goodwill exceeded fair values. As such, the Company has not performed an interim impairment test
during YTD 2009 and has not recognized any impairments of franchise rights or goodwill.
Net sales by product category were as follows:

Areas of Emphasis
Key priorities for the Company include revenue management, product innovation and beverage
portfolio expansion, distribution cost management and productivity.
Revenue Management
Revenue management requires a strategy which reflects consideration for pricing of brands and
packages within product categories and channels, highly effective working relationships with
customers and disciplined fact-based decision-making. Revenue management has been and continues to
be a key performance driver which has significant impact on the Companys results of operations.
Product Innovation and Beverage Portfolio Expansion
Sparkling beverages volume, other than energy products, has declined over the past several years.
Innovation of both new brands and packages has been and will continue to be critical to the
Companys overall revenue. The Company began distributing Monster Energy® drinks in
certain of the Companys territories beginning in November 2008. The Company introduced the
following new products during 2007: smartwater®, vitaminwater®,
vitaminenergy, Gold Peak and Country Breeze tea products, juice products
from FUZE® (a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company) and V8® juice products
from the Campbell Soup Company. The Company also modified its energy product portfolio in 2007
with the addition of NOS® products from FUZE®.
In October 2008, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Hansen Beverage Company
(Hansen), the developer, marketer, seller and distributor of Monster Energy® drinks,
the leading volume brand in the U. S. energy category. Under this agreement, the Company has the
right to distribute Monster Energy® drinks in certain of the Companys territories. The
agreement has a term of 20 years and can be terminated by either party under certain circumstances,
subject to a termination penalty in certain cases. In conjunction with the execution of this
agreement, the Company was required to pay Hansen $2.3 million. This amount equals the amount that
Hansen was required to pay to the distributors of Monster Energy® drinks to terminate
the prior distribution agreements. The Company has recorded the payment to Hansen as distribution
rights and will amortize the amount on a straight-line basis to selling, delivery and
administrative (S,D&A) expenses over the 20-year term of the agreement.
In August 2007, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Energy Brands Inc. (Energy
Brands), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company. Energy Brands, also known as
glacéau, is a producer and distributor of branded enhanced beverages including
vitaminwater®, smartwater® and vitaminenergy. The distribution
agreement was effective November 1, 2007 for a period of ten years and, unless earlier terminated,
will be automatically renewed for succeeding ten-year terms, subject to a one year non-renewal
notification by the Company. In conjunction with the execution of the distribution agreement, the
Company entered into an agreement with The Coca-Cola Company whereby the Company agreed not to
introduce new third party brands or certain third party brand extensions in the United States
through August 31, 2010 unless mutually agreed to by the Company and The Coca-Cola Company.
The Company has invested in its own brand portfolio with products such as Tum-E
Yummies, a vitamin C enhanced flavored drink, Country Breeze tea and diet Country
Breeze tea and became the exclusive licensee of Cinnabon Premium Coffee Lattes. These brands
enable the Company to participate in strong growth categories
and capitalize on distribution channels that may include the Companys traditional Coca-Cola
franchise territory as well as third party distributors outside the Companys traditional Coca-Cola
franchise territory. While the growth prospects of Company-owned or exclusive licensed brands
appear promising, the cost of developing, marketing and distributing these brands is anticipated to
be significant as well.
40
Distribution Cost Management
Distribution costs represent the costs of transporting finished goods from Company locations to
customer outlets. Total distribution costs amounted to $92.0 million and $102.0 million in YTD 2009
and YTD 2008, respectively. Over the past several years, the Company has focused on converting its
distribution system from a conventional routing system to a predictive system. This conversion to
a predictive system has allowed the Company to more efficiently handle increasing numbers of
products. In addition, the Company has closed a number of smaller sales distribution centers over
the past several years reducing its fixed warehouse-related costs.
The Company has three primary delivery systems for its current business:
|
|
|
bulk delivery for large supermarkets,
mass merchandisers and club stores; |
|
|
|
|
advanced sales delivery for convenience stores, drug stores, small supermarkets and
certain on-premise accounts; and |
|
|
|
|
full service delivery for its full
service vending customers. |
Distribution cost management will continue to be a key area of emphasis for the Company.
Productivity
A key driver in the Companys S,D&A expense management relates to ongoing improvements in labor
productivity and asset productivity. The Company initiated plans to reorganize the structure in
its operating units and support services in July 2008. The reorganization resulted in the
elimination of approximately 350 positions, or approximately 5%, of the Companys workforce. The
Company implemented these changes in order to improve its efficiency and to help offset significant
increases in the cost of raw materials and operating expenses. The Company anticipates substantial
annual savings from this reorganization plan. The plan was completed in the fourth quarter of
2008. The Company continues to focus on its supply chain and distribution functions for ongoing
opportunities to improve productivity.

The Companys net sales decreased 4.6% in Q2 2009 compared to Q2 2008. The decrease in net sales
was primarily due to a 9.6% decrease in bottle/can volume partially offset by a 3.9% increase in
average sales price per bottle/can unit. The Companys net sales decreased 2.7% in YTD 2009
compared to YTD 2008. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to an 8.4% decrease in
bottle/can volume partially offset by a 4.5% increase in average sales price per bottle/can unit.
The decreases in bottle/can volume were primarily due to a decrease in volume in all product
categories except energy products. The increases in average sales price per bottle/can unit were
primarily due to increased sales prices in all product categories except enhanced water products.
Gross margin dollars decreased 6.8% in Q2 2009 compared to Q2 2008. The Companys gross margin
percentage decreased to 42.4% for Q2 2009 from 43.4% for Q2 2008. Gross margin dollars decreased
1.5% in YTD 2009 compared to YTD 2008. The Companys gross margin percentage increased to 43.0%
for YTD 2009 from 42.5% for YTD 2008. The decrease in gross margin dollars was primarily due to
lower bottle/can volume and increases in raw material costs partially offset by higher average
sales price per bottle/can unit. The decrease in gross margin percentage in Q2 2009 compared to Q2
2008 was primarily due to higher raw material costs and a decrease in marketing funding support
partially offset by higher sales prices per unit and a decrease in cost of sales due to the Companys
aluminum hedging program. The increase in gross margin percentage in YTD 2009 compared to YTD 2008
was primarily due to higher sales prices per unit and a decrease in cost of sales due to the Companys
aluminum hedging program partially offset by higher raw material costs and a decrease in marketing
funding support.
S,D&A expenses decreased 4.6% in Q2 2009 from Q2 2008 and 6.1% in YTD 2009 from YTD 2008. The
decreases in S,D&A expenses in Q2 2009 from Q2 2008 and YTD 2009 from YTD 2008 were primarily
attributable to decreases in salaries and wages, decreases in fuel costs and decreased depreciation
expense offset by increases in bad debt expense and increased employee benefit costs.
Net interest expense was flat in Q2 2009 compared to Q2 2008 and decreased 5.8% in YTD 2009
compared to YTD 2008. The decrease in YTD 2009 compared to YTD 2008 was primarily due to lower
effective interest rates and lower debt. The Companys overall weighted average interest rate
decreased to 5.7% during YTD 2009 from 5.8% during YTD 2008.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements
Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under
different assumptions and conditions. The Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 28, 2008 a discussion of the Companys most critical accounting policies,
which are those most important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results of
operations and require managements most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a
result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The Company did not make changes in any critical accounting policies during YTD 2009. Any changes
in critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company during the quarter in which a change is made.
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157 which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement
does not require any new fair value measurements but could change the current practices in
measuring current fair value measurements. The Statement was effective at the beginning of the
first quarter of 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and
liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. In February 2008, the
FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which
deferred the application date of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and
liabilities until Q1 2009 except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of this Statement and Staff Position did
not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of YTD 2009, but could have
a material effect in the future. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
In December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). This
Statement established principles and requirements for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets
and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in an acquisition, at
their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Statement was effective for Q1 2009. The impact
on the Company of adopting
44
SFAS No. 141(R) depends on the nature, terms and size of business combinations completed after the
effective date.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. This Statement amended Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary
(commonly referred to previously as minority interest) and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.
This Statement was effective for the Company as of the beginning of Q1 2009 and is being applied
prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which have been applied
retrospectively. The adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). This Statement amends and
expands the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of
why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for and how they affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash
flows. The Statement was effective for Q1 2009. The adoption of this Statement did not impact the
consolidated financial statements other than expanded footnote disclosures related to derivative
instruments and related hedged items. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows
used to measure its fair value. FSP 142-3 was effective for Q1 2009. The Company does not expect
FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on the accounting for future acquisitions or renewals of
intangible assets, but the potential impact is dependent upon the acquisitions or renewals of
intangible assets in the future.
In September 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures About
Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB
Interpretation No. 45, and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 (FSP
133-1). FSP 133-1 amends Statement No. 133 to require a seller of credit derivatives to provide
certain disclosures for each credit derivative (or group of similar credit derivatives). FSP 133-1
also amends Interpretation No. 45 to require guarantors to disclose the current status of
payment/performance risk of guarantees and clarifies the effective date of SFAS No. 161. The
adoption of FSP 133-1 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on (1)
estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and (2)
identifying transactions that are not orderly. FSP 157-4 was
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 157-4 did
not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2). FSP 115-2 amends the
other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational
and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and
equity securities. FSP 115-2 was
45
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15,
2009. The adoption of FSP 115-2 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about the
fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as
well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 was effective for interim periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. This Statement does not result in
significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports in its financial statements.
This Statement requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the
financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This Statement was effective for
the Company in Q2 2009, and the required disclosure has been included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 requires enhanced disclosures
about plan assets of a companys defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The
enhanced disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with a greater
understanding of (1) employers investment strategies; (2) major categories of plan assets; (3)
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; (4) the effect
of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan
assets for the period; and (5) concentration of risk within plan assets. FSP 132(R)-1 is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this Statement will
not impact the Companys consolidated financial statements other than expanded footnote
disclosures related to the Companys pension plan assets.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement eliminates the exceptions for qualifying
special-purpose entities from consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale
accounting for certain mortgage securitization when a transferor has not surrendered control over
the transferred financial assets. This Statement is effective for annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect this Statement
to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This
Statement amends Interpretation No. 46(R) to replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards
calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a
variable interest entity (VIE) with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the
power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entitys economic
performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity.
This Statement is effective for annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the Statement on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of
authoritative United States GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
This Statement and the Codification will not change GAAP. This Statement is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after
46
September 15, 2009. The Codification will not change GAAP and therefore should not impact the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

In YTD 2009, the Companys bottle/can sales to retail customers accounted for 84% of the Companys
total net sales. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced
by promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per unit is impacted by the price charged per
package, the volume generated in each package and the channels in which those packages are sold.
The increase in the Companys bottle/can net pricing per unit in Q2 2009 compared to Q2 2008 and
YTD 2009 compared to YTD 2008 was primarily due to sales price increases in all product categories,
except enhanced water products.
Product category sales volume in Q2 2009 and Q2 2008 and YTD 2009 and YTD 2008 as a percentage of
total bottle/can sales volume and the percentage change by product category was as follows:

The Companys products are sold and distributed through various channels. These channels include
selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts
and vending machine outlets. During YTD 2009, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can volume
was sold for future consumption. The remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 32% was sold for
immediate consumption. The Companys largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for
approximately 19% of the Companys total bottle/can volume during YTD 2009. The Companys second
largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 11% of the Companys total bottle/can
volume in YTD 2009. All of the Companys beverage sales are to customers in the United States.
The Company recorded delivery fees in net sales of $3.9 million and $3.2 million in YTD 2009 and
YTD 2008, respectively. These fees are used to offset a portion of the Companys delivery and
handling costs.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the following: raw material costs, manufacturing labor, manufacturing
overhead including depreciation expense, manufacturing warehousing costs and shipping and handling
costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution
centers.
Cost of sales decreased 2.9%, or $6.5 million, to $217.6 million in Q2 2009 compared to $224.1
million in Q2 2008. Cost of sales decreased 3.6%, or $15.1 million, to $406.8 million in YTD
2009 compared to $421.9 million in YTD 2008.

The Company relies extensively on advertising and sales promotion in the marketing of its products.
The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies that supply concentrates, syrups and finished
products to the Company make substantial marketing and advertising expenditures to promote sales in
the local territories served by the Company. The Company also benefits from national advertising
programs conducted by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies. Certain of the marketing
expenditures by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies are made pursuant to
annual arrangements. Although The Coca-Cola Company has advised the Company that it intends to
continue to provide marketing funding support, it is not obligated to do so under the Companys
Beverage Agreements. Significant decreases in marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company
or other beverage companies could adversely impact operating results of the Company in the future.
49
Total marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies, which
includes direct payments to the Company and payments to customers for marketing programs, was $26.7
million for YTD 2009 compared to $31.7 million for YTD 2008.
The net impact of the Companys aluminum hedging program was to decrease aluminum cost by $3.2
million and $3.9 million in Q2 2009 and YTD 2009, respectively.
Gross Margin
Gross margin dollars decreased 6.8%, or $11.8 million, to $160.1 million in Q2 2009 compared to
$171.9 million in Q2 2008. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 42.4% for Q2
2009 from 43.4% for Q2 2008. Gross margin dollars decreased $4.5 million, or 1.5%, to $307.3
million in YTD 2009 compared to $311.8 million in YTD 2008. Gross margin as a percentage of net
sales increased to 43.0% in YTD 2009 from 42.5% in YTD 2008.

The decrease in gross margin percentage in Q2 2009 compared to Q2 2008 was primarily due to higher
raw material costs and a decrease in marketing funding support partially offset by higher sales
prices per unit and a decrease in cost of sales due to the Companys aluminum hedging program. The increase
in gross margin percentage in YTD 2009 compared to YTD 2008 was primarily due to higher sales
prices per unit and a decrease in cost of sales due to the Companys aluminum hedging program partially
offset by higher raw material costs and a decrease in marketing funding support.
The Companys gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include
all costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales. The Company includes a portion
of these costs in S,D&A expenses.
S,D&A Expenses
S,D&A expenses include the following: sales management labor costs, distribution costs from sales
distribution centers to customer locations, sales distribution center warehouse costs,
depreciation expense related to sales centers, delivery vehicles and cold drink equipment,
point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses, cold drink equipment repair costs, amortization of
intangibles and administrative support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal,
information services, accounting, internal control services, human resources and executive
management costs.
S,D&A expenses decreased by $6.2 million, or 4.6%, to $129.4 million in Q2 2009 from $135.7 million
in Q2 2008. S,D&A expenses decreased by $16.5 million, or 6.1%, to $255.4 million in YTD 2009 from
$271.9 million in YTD 2008.

Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations
to sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs related
to the movement of finished goods from sales distribution centers to customer locations are
included in S,D&A expenses and totaled $92.0 million and $102.0 million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008,
respectively.
The net impact of the Companys fuel hedging program was to decrease fuel costs by $2.6 million and
$1.8 million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, respectively.
Primarily due to the performance of the Companys pension plan investments during 2008, the
Companys expense recorded in S,D&A expenses related to the two Company-sponsored pension plans
increased by $3.0 million from a $.5 million credit in Q2 2008 to a $2.5 million expense in Q2 2009
and by $5.9 million from a $1.0 million credit in YTD 2008 to a $4.9 million expense in YTD 2009.
On July 15, 2008, the Company initiated a plan to reorganize the structure of its operating units
and support services, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 350 positions, or
approximately 5% of its workforce.
52
As a result of this plan, the Company incurred $4.6 million in restructuring expenses in the second
half of 2008 for one-time termination benefits. The plan was completed in 2008 and the majority of
cash expenditures occurred in 2008.
The Company entered into a new agreement with a collective bargaining unit in the third quarter of
2008. The collective bargaining unit represents approximately 270 employees, or approximately 4%
of the Companys total workforce. The new agreement allows the Company to freeze its liability to
the Central States Pension Fund (Central States), a multi-employer pension fund, while preserving
the pension benefits previously earned by the employees. As a result of the new agreement, the
Company recorded a charge of $13.6 million in the second half of 2008. The Company paid $3.0
million in 2008 to the Southern States Savings and Retirement Plan (Southern States) under this
agreement. The remaining $10.6 million was the present value amount, using a discount rate of 7%,
which will be paid under the agreement and was recorded in other liabilities. The Company will pay
approximately $1 million annually over the next 20 years to Central States. The Company will also
make future contributions on behalf of these employees to Southern States, a multi-employer defined
contribution plan. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $.4 million in expense to
settle a strike by union employees covered by this plan.
The Company suspended matching contributions to its 401(k) Savings Plan effective April 1, 2009.
The suspension reduced matching contribution expense by approximately $2.5 million in Q2 2009. The Company
anticipates this suspension will reduce matching contribution expense during the remainder of 2009 by approximately $5
million.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense was flat in Q2 2009 compared to Q2 2008 and decreased 5.8%, or $1.2 million in
YTD 2009 and YTD 2008. The decrease in interest expense in YTD 2009 was primarily due to lower
effective interest rates and lower debt. The Companys overall weighted average interest rate
decreased to 5.7% during YTD 2009 from 5.8% during YTD 2008. See the Liquidity and Capital
Resources Hedging Activities Interest Rate Hedging section of M,D&A for additional
information.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective income tax rate for YTD 2009 was 34.4% compared to 41.4% for YTD 2008. The
lower effective tax rate for YTD 2009 resulted primarily from a decrease in the Companys reserve
for uncertain tax positions. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information. The Companys income tax rate for the remainder of 2009 is dependent upon the results
of operations and may change if the results in 2009 are different from current expectations.
The Companys income tax assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment in future periods based
on the Companys ongoing evaluations of such assets and liabilities and new information that
becomes available to the Company.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company recorded net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $1.0 million in both
YTD 2009 and YTD 2008 related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
53
Financial Condition
Total assets of $1.3 billion at June 28, 2009 did not materially change from December 28, 2008 primarily due
to decreases in cash and cash equivalents; property, plant and equipment, net and leased property
under capital leases, net offset by increases in accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses
and other current assets. Property, plant and equipment, net decreased primarily due to lower
levels of capital spending over the past several years. Leased property under capital leases, net
decreased primarily due to the termination of one lease and the modification of a second lease.
Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, increased by $183.9
million to $86.2 million at June 28, 2009 from December 28, 2008 and increased by $124.4 million at
June 28, 2009 from June 29, 2008.
Significant changes in net working capital from December 28, 2008 were as follows:
|
|
A decrease in current portion of long-term debt of $174.3 million primarily due to the
payment of $119.3 million of debentures on May 1,
2009 and the payment of $55.0 million of debentures on July 1, 2009 from borrowings on the Companys $200 million revolving credit facility ($200 million facility) which is not due until March 2012. |
|
|
|
An increase in other accrued liabilities of $20.3 million primarily due to the timing of
payments. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable from and an increase in accounts payable to The
Coca-Cola Company of $19.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively, primarily due to the
timing of payments. |
|
|
|
A decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $12.0 million primarily due to payment of $119.3
million of debentures on May 1, 2009. |
|
|
|
An increase in inventories of $11.9 million due primarily to seasonal increase and package
changes for certain products. |
|
|
|
An increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $11.6 million primarily due to
transactions related to the Companys hedging programs. |
Significant changes in net working capital from June 29, 2008 were as follows:
|
|
A decrease in current portion of
long-term debt of $116.8 million primarily due to the
payment of $119.3 million of debentures on May 1, 2009. |
|
|
|
An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $24.1 million primarily due to cash flow from
operations. |
|
|
|
An increase in other accrued liabilities of $21.4 million primarily due to the timing of
payments. |
|
|
|
A decrease in accounts receivable, trade, net of $14.3 million primarily due to changed
credit terms for certain customers and decreased sales. |
|
|
|
An increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $10.1 million primarily due to
transactions related to the Companys hedging programs. |
|
|
|
An increase in inventories of $7.9 million primarily due to package changes for certain
products and increased finished product levels. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable from and an increase in accounts payable to The
Coca-Cola Company of $5.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively, primarily due to the timing
of payments. |
Debt and capital lease obligations were $645.2 million as of June 28, 2009 compared to $669.1
million as of December 28, 2008 and $700.4 million as of June 29, 2008. Debt and capital lease
obligations as of June 28, 2009 included $64.9 million of capital lease obligations related
primarily to Company facilities.
54
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
The Companys sources of capital include cash flows from operations, available credit facilities
and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Management believes the Company has sufficient
resources available to finance its business plan, meet its working capital requirements and
maintain an appropriate level of capital spending. The amount and frequency of future dividends
will be determined by the Companys Board of Directors in light of the earnings and financial
condition of the Company at such time, and no assurance can be given that dividends will be
declared in the future.
As of June 28, 2009, the Company had $200 million available under its $200 million facility to meet its cash requirements. The $200 million facility
contains two financial covenants: a fixed charges coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow
ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the
Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1 or higher. The
operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to
operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or
lower. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants.
In April 2009, the Company issued $110 million of unsecured 7% Senior Notes due 2019.
The Company had debt maturities of $119.3 million in May 2009 and $57.4 million in July 2009. On
May 1, 2009, the Company used the proceeds from the $110 million 7% Senior Notes due 2019 plus cash on hand
to repay the debt maturity of $119.3 million. The Company used cash flow generated from operations
and $55.0 million in borrowings under its $200 million facility to repay the $57.4 million debt
maturity on July 1, 2009. The Company currently believes that all of the banks participating in
the Companys $200 million facility have the ability to and will meet any funding requests from the
Company.
The Company has obtained the majority of its long-term financing, other than capital leases, from
public markets. As of June 28, 2009, $580.3 million of the Companys total outstanding balance of
debt and capital lease obligations of $645.2 million was financed through publicly offered debt.
The Company had capital lease obligations of $64.9 million as of June 28, 2009. There were no
amounts outstanding on the $200 million facility as of June 28, 2009.
Cash Sources and Uses
The primary sources of cash for the Company have been cash provided by operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities. The primary uses of cash have been for capital
expenditures, the payment of debt and capital lease obligations, dividend payments and income tax
payments.

Investing Activities
Additions to property, plant and equipment during YTD 2009 were $17.2 million compared to $31.6
million during YTD 2008. Capital expenditures during YTD 2009 were funded with cash flows from
operations. The Company anticipates total additions to property, plant and equipment in fiscal
year 2009 will be in the range of $45 million to $55 million. Leasing is used for certain capital
additions when considered cost effective relative to other sources of capital. The Company
currently leases its corporate headquarters, two production facilities and several sales
distribution facilities and administrative facilities.
Financing Activities
On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million facility replacing its $100 million
credit facility. The $200 million facility matures in March 2012 and includes an option to extend
the term for an additional year at the discretion of the participating banks. The $200 million
facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate
spread of .35%, dependent on the length of the term of the borrowing. In addition, the Company
must pay an annual facility fee of .10% of the lenders aggregate commitments under the facility.
Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing
grid based on the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility
contains two financial covenants: a fixed charges coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash
flow ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires
the Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1 or higher.
The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to
1 or lower. On August 25, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the $200 million
facility. The amendment clarified that charges incurred by the Company resulting from the
Companys withdrawal from Central States would be excluded from the calculations of the financial
covenants to the extent
they were incurred on or before March 31, 2009 and did not exceed $15 million. See Note 18 to the
consolidated
56
financial statements for additional details on the
withdrawal from Central States. The Company is
currently in compliance with these covenants as amended by the amendment to the $200 million facility. These
covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity
or capital resources. There were no amounts outstanding under the $200 million facility at June
28, 2009 and December 28, 2008. On June 29, 2008, the Company had $30.0 million outstanding under
the $200 million facility. On July 1, 2009 the Company borrowed $55.0 million under the $200
million facility and used the proceeds, along with $2.4 million of
cash on hand, to repay at maturity the Companys $57.4 million
outstanding 7.20% Debentures due 2009. As the $200 million facility does not mature until March 2012,
the portion of the 7.20% Debentures due 2009 refinanced prior to the release of the June 28, 2009
consolidated financial statements has been classified as long-term as of June 28, 2009.
The $2.4 million of the 7.20% Debentures due 2009 paid with cash on hand has been classified as current as of June 28, 2009.
The
Company borrowed periodically under an uncommitted line of credit
provided by a bank
participating in the $200 million facility. This uncommitted line of credit made available at the
discretion of the participating bank was temporarily terminated in the fourth quarter of 2008. In
January 2009, the participating bank reinstated its uncommitted line of credit for $65 million.
This uncommitted line of credit was terminated on March 29, 2009.
In April 2009, the Company issued $110 million of 7% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds plus
cash on hand were used on May 1, 2009 to repay at maturity the $119.3 million outstanding 6.375%
Debentures due 2009.
All of the outstanding debt has been issued by the Company with none having been issued by any of
the Companys subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Companys debt. The Company or its
subsidiaries have entered into four capital leases.
At June 28, 2009, the Companys credit ratings were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Long-Term Debt |
Standard & Poors
|
|
BBB |
Moodys
|
|
Baa2 |
The Companys credit ratings are reviewed periodically by the respective rating agencies. Changes
in the Companys operating results or financial position could result in changes in the Companys
credit ratings. Lower credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs for the Company or
reduced access to capital markets, which could have a material impact on the Companys financial
position or results of operations. There were no changes in these credit ratings from the prior
year and the credit ratings are currently stable.
The Companys public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of
certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Companys subsidiaries in excess of
certain amounts.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is a member of two manufacturing cooperatives and has guaranteed $39.2 million of debt
and related lease obligations for these entities as of June 28, 2009. In addition, the Company
has an equity ownership in each of the entities. The members of both cooperatives consist solely
of Coca-Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to
fulfill their commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient
assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust
selling prices of their products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the
Companys guarantees. As of June 28, 2009, the Companys maximum exposure, if the entities
borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $69.4 million including the Companys
equity
interests. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information about these entities.

The Company has $9.3 million of unrecognized income tax benefits including accrued interest as of
June 28, 2009 (included in other long-term liabilities in the table above) of which $8.3 million
would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. It is expected that the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next 12 months. During this period, it is reasonably
possible that tax audits could reduce unrecognized tax benefits. The Company cannot reasonably
estimate the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits until further information is made
available during the progress of the audits. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements
for additional information.
The Company is a member of Southeastern Container, a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative,
from which the Company is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic
bottles for certain designated territories. This obligation is not included in the Companys
table of contractual obligations and commercial commitments since there are no minimum purchase
requirements.
As of June 28, 2009, the Company has $22.4 million of standby letters of credit, primarily related
to its property and casualty insurance programs. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements for additional information related to commercial commitments, guarantees, legal and tax
matters.
The Company has not contributed to its two Company-sponsored pension plans in YTD 2009. The
Company anticipates that it will be required to make contributions to its two Company-sponsored
pension plans in 2009.
58
Based on information currently available, the Company estimates cash
contributions in the remainder of 2009 will be in the range of $8 million to $12 million.
Postretirement medical care payments are expected to be approximately $2.3 million in 2009. See
Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to pension and
postretirement obligations.
Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Hedging
The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to mitigate risk from interest rate
fluctuations. The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon
anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Companys debt level and the potential
impact of changes in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity
analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of
various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments.
In September 2008, the Company terminated six interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount
of $225 million it had outstanding. The Company received $6.2 million in cash proceeds including
$1.1 million for previously accrued interest receivable. After accounting for the previously
accrued interest receivable, the Company will amortize a gain of $5.1 million over the remaining
term of the underlying debt. The Company has no interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of
June 28, 2009.
Interest expense was reduced due to the amortization of deferred gains on previously terminated
interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements by $1.5 million and $.9 million
during YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, respectively.
The weighted average interest rate of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations after taking
into account all of the interest rate hedging activities was 5.7% as of June 28, 2009 compared to
5.9% as of December 28, 2008 and 5.4% as of June 29, 2008. Approximately 4.6% of the Companys
debt and capital lease obligations of $645.2 million as of June 28, 2009 was maintained on a
floating rate basis and was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
Fuel Hedging
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge all of the Companys projected diesel fuel
purchases for 2009 and 2010. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel used by the
Companys delivery fleet. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the
corresponding period of the instrument. The Company accounts for its fuel hedges on a
mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of fuel costs.
In October 2008, the Company entered into derivative agreements to hedge all of its projected
diesel fuel purchases for 2009 establishing an upper and lower limit on the Companys price of
diesel fuel.
In February 2009, the Company entered into derivative agreements to hedge all of its projected
diesel fuel purchases for 2010 establishing an upper limit on the Companys price of diesel fuel.
The net impact of the Companys fuel hedging program was to decrease fuel costs by $1.1 million and $1.5 million in Q2 2009 and Q2 2008, respectively. The net impact of the Companys fuel hedging program was to decrease fuel costs by $2.6 million
and $1.8 million in YTD 2009 and YTD 2008, respectively.
59
Aluminum Hedging
At the end of Q1 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge 75% of the Companys
projected 2010 aluminum purchase requirements. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which
is amortized over the corresponding period of the instruments. The Company accounts for its
aluminum hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an
adjustment to cost of sales.
During Q2 2009, the Company entered into derivative agreements to hedge 75% of the Companys
projected 2011 aluminum purchase requirements.
The net impact of the Companys aluminum hedging program was to decrease cost of sales by $3.2 million and $3.9
million in Q2 2009 and YTD 2009, respectively.

statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
62
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to certain market risks that arise in the ordinary course of business. The
Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market
risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading
purposes. A discussion of the Companys primary market risk exposure and interest rate risk is
presented below.
Debt and Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its fixed and floating rate debt. The Company
periodically uses interest rate hedging products to modify risk from interest rate fluctuations.
The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon anticipated cash flows
from operations relative to the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are
performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of various interest
rate movements. The counterparties to these interest rate hedging arrangements were major
financial institutions with which the Company also has other financial relationships. The Company
did not have any interest rate hedging products as of June 28, 2009. The Company generally
maintains between 40% and 60% of total borrowings at variable interest rates after taking into
account all of the interest rate hedging activities. While this is the target range for the
percentage of total borrowings at variable interest rates, the financial position of the Company
and market conditions may result in strategies outside of this range at certain points in time.
Approximately 4.6% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations of $645.2 million as of June
28, 2009 was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
As it relates to the Companys variable rate debt and variable rate leases, assuming no changes in
the Companys financial structure, if market interest rates average 1% more over the next twelve
months than the interest rates as of June 28, 2009, interest expense for the following twelve
months would increase by approximately $.3 million. This amount was determined by calculating the
effect of the hypothetical interest rate on the Companys variable rate debt and variable rate
leases. This calculated, hypothetical increase in interest expense for the following twelve months
may be different from the actual increase in interest expense from a 1% increase in interest rates
due to varying interest rate reset dates on the Companys floating rate debt.
Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk
The Company is also subject to commodity price risk arising from price movements for certain
commodities included as part of its raw materials. The Company manages this commodity price risk
in some cases by entering into contracts with adjustable prices. The Company has not historically
used derivative commodity instruments in the management of this risk. The Company estimates that a
10% increase in the market prices of these commodities over the current market prices would
cumulatively increase costs during the next 12 months by approximately $23 million assuming no change in
volume.
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge all of the Companys projected diesel fuel
purchases for 2009 and 2010. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel used by the
Companys delivery fleet. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the
corresponding period of the instrument. The Company currently accounts for its fuel hedges on a
mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of fuel costs.
At the end of Q1 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge 75% of its
projected 2010 aluminum purchase requirements. During Q2 2009, the Company entered into
derivative agreements to hedge 75% of the Companys projected 2011 aluminum purchase requirements.
The Company pays a fee for these
instruments which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instruments. The Company
accounts for its
63
aluminum hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being
reflected as an adjustment to cost of sales.
Effects of Changing Prices
The principal effect of inflation on the Companys operating results is to increase costs. The
Company may raise selling prices to offset these cost increases; however, the resulting impact on
retail prices may reduce the volume of product purchased by consumers.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the
Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purpose of
providing reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company
files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to
the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended June 28, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
64
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except for the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the factors
disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 28, 2008.
Legislative changes that affect the Companys distribution and packaging could reduce demand
for the Companys products or increase the Companys costs.
The Companys business model is dependent on the availability of the Companys various
products and packages in multiple channels and locations versus those of the Companys
competitors to better satisfy the needs of the Companys customers and consumers. Laws that
restrict the Companys ability to distribute products in schools and other venues, as well as
laws that require deposits for certain types of packages or those that limit the Companys
ability to design new packages or market certain packages, could negatively impact the
financial results of the Company. In addition, taxes imposed by individual states and
localities could cause consumers to shift away from purchasing products of the Company.
For example, some members of the U.S. Congress have raised the possibility of a federal tax on
the sale of certain sugar beverages, including non-diet soft drinks, fruit drinks, teas and
flavored waters, to help pay for the cost of healthcare reform. If enacted, such a tax would
materially affect the Companys business and financial results.
The Companys primary competitors have entered into definitive merger agreements with their franchisor, and there is uncertainty about the impact such a transaction will have on the Companys business.
The Companys primary competitors recently entered into definitive merger agreements with their franchisor under which the franchisor will acquire, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreements, all of the competitors outstanding shares of common stock not already owned by the franchisor. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to evaluate whether the transaction will have
a material impact on the Companys business and financial results.
65
