Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Bottling Group, LLC (referred to as “Bottling LLC,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”) is the principal operating subsidiary of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (“PBG”) and consists of substantially all of the operations and assets of PBG. PBG is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages. We have the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages, in all or a portion of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey.

We prepare our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as the related footnote disclosures. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis using our historical experience as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effect cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive annual financial statements. Therefore, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, this interim information includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation.

Our U.S. and Canadian operations report using a fiscal year that consists of 52 weeks, ending on the last Saturday in December. Every five or six years a 53rd week is added. Fiscal years 2009 and 2008 consist of 52 weeks. Our remaining countries report on a calendar-year basis. Accordingly, we recognize our quarterly business results as outlined below:


Quarter	U.S. & Canada	Mexico & Europe
First Quarter	12 weeks	January and February
Second Quarter	12 weeks	March, April and May
Third Quarter	12 weeks	June, July and August
Fourth Quarter	16 weeks	September, October, November and December

In conjunction with PBG’s initial public offering and other subsequent transactions, PBG and PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) contributed bottling businesses and assets used in the bottling businesses to Bottling LLC. As a result of the contribution of these assets, PBG owns 93.4 percent of Bottling LLC and PepsiCo owns the remaining 6.6 percent as of June 13, 2009. In addition, PepsiCo has a 40 percent ownership interest in PR Beverages Limited (“PR Beverages”), a consolidated venture for our Russian operations.

We consolidate in our financial statements entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interest in earnings and ownership has been recorded for the percentage of these entities not owned by Bottling LLC. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation.

Note 2—Seasonality of Business

The results for the second quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year because sales of our products are seasonal. The seasonality of our operating results arises from higher sales in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the year, combined with the impact of fixed costs, such as depreciation and interest, which are not significantly impacted by business seasonality. From a cash flow perspective, the majority of our cash flow from operations is generated in the third and fourth quarters.

Note 3—New Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 141(R) as amended

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”), which amended certain provisions of SFAS 141(R) related to the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. SFAS 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 became effective in the first quarter of 2009, and did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SFAS No. 160

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which addresses the accounting and reporting framework for noncontrolling interests by a parent company. SFAS 160 also addresses disclosure requirements to distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 became effective in the first quarter of 2009. The provisions of SFAS 160 require that minority interest be renamed noncontrolling interests and that a company present a consolidated net income measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests for all periods presented. In addition SFAS 160 requires reporting noncontrolling interest as a component of equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and below income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As required by SFAS 160, we have retrospectively applied the presentation to our prior year balances in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SFAS No. 161

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires enhanced disclosures for derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 became effective in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 8 for required disclosure.

FSP FAS 132(R)-1

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 132(revised 2003)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”), which requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets that are similar to the disclosures about fair value measurements required by SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will become effective for our annual financial statements for 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1

has an effective date requiring adoption by the third quarter of 2009 with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 7 for required disclosures.

SFAS No. 165

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which sets forth general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 will become effective in the third quarter of 2009 and will not likely have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

SFAS No. 167

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(revised December 2003) to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. SFAS 167 also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, SFAS 167 provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 will become effective in the first quarter of 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

SFAS No. 168

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2009 and will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 4—Share-Based Compensation

The total impact of share-based compensation recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $14 million and $15 million for the 12 week periods ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008, respectively, and $26 million and $27 million for the 24 week periods ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008, respectively.

During the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008, we granted 6 million and 3 million of PBG stock option awards at a weighted-average fair value of $4.52 and $7.11, respectively.

During the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008, we granted 2 million and 1 million of PBG restricted stock unit awards at a weighted-average fair value of $18.72 and $35.38, respectively.

Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plans amounted to $101 million as of June 13, 2009. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Note Receivable from Noncontrolled Affiliate

During the first quarter of 2009, we issued a ruble-denominated three-year note with an interest rate of 10.0 percent (“Note receivable from noncontrolled affiliate”) to JSC Lebedyansky (“Lebedyansky”), a consolidated subsidiary of PepsiCo and a noncontrolled affiliate of Bottling LLC, valued at $92 million on June 13, 2009. This funding was contemplated as part of the initial capitalization of the purchase of Lebedyansky between PepsiCo and us. This note receivable is recorded in other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first quarter of 2009, we acquired distribution rights for certain energy drinks in the United States and Canada and protein-enhanced functional beverages in the United States. As a result of these acquisitions, we recorded approximately $36 million of amortizable distribution rights, with a weighted-average amortization period of 10 years.

During the second quarter, we acquired a Pepsi-Cola and Dr Pepper franchise bottler serving portions of central Texas. As a result of this acquisition we recorded approximately $57 million of non-amortizable franchise rights and $8 million of non-compete agreements, with a weighted-average amortization period of 10 years.

Intangible asset amortization

Intangible asset amortization expense was $2 million for both the 12 weeks ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008. Intangible asset amortization expense was $4 million for both the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be approximately $11 million or less.

Note 7—Fair Value Measurements

We adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year for all financial instruments valued on a recurring basis, at least annually. Additionally, beginning in the first quarter of 2009, in accordance with the provisions of FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”) we now apply SFAS 157 to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for certain items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. In accordance with SFAS 157, we have categorized our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities we measure at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 13, 2009 and December 27, 2008:


	Level 2

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value include accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities and since interest rates approximate current market rates for short-term debt.

Long-term debt, which includes the current maturities of long-term debt, at June 13, 2009, had a carrying value and fair value of $4.5 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, and at December 27, 2008, had a carrying value and fair value of $5.1 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Note 8—Financial Instruments and Risk Management

We are subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and PBG’s stock price. In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives. Our corporate policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.

All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments are generally designated and accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) as either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction (“cash flow hedge”). Certain of these derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133 and are used as “economic hedges” to manage certain risks in our business.

Credit Risk Associated with Derivatives

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. We have established and maintained counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. We monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize numerous counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under these agreements.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The derivative’s gain or loss recognized in earnings is recorded consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portion of a fair value change on a qualifying cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings immediately.

The Company hedges the following types of items that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting under SFAS 133:

Commodity — We use forward and option contracts to hedge the risk of adverse movements in commodity prices related primarily to anticipated purchases of raw materials and energy used in our operations. These contracts generally range from one to 24 months in duration and as of June 13, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $345 million.

Foreign Currency — We are subject to foreign currency transactional risks in certain of our international territories primarily for the purchase of commodities that are denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currency. We enter into forward contract agreements to hedge a portion of this foreign currency risk. These contracts generally range from one to 24 months in duration and as of June 13, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $74 million.

Interest — We have entered into treasury rate lock agreements to hedge against adverse interest rate changes relating to the issuance of certain fixed rate debt financing arrangements. Gains and losses from these treasury rate lock agreements that are considered effective are deferred in AOCL and amortized to interest expense over the duration of the debt term. The Company has a $3 million net deferred gain in AOCL, which will be amortized over the next seven years. For the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009, we recognized, in interest expense, a loss of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps — We effectively converted $1.25 billion of our fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our overall borrowing costs. These interest rate swaps meet the criteria for fair value hedge accounting and are assumed to be 100 percent effective in eliminating the market-rate risk inherent in our long-term debt. Accordingly, any gain or loss associated with these swaps is fully offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt and recognized currently in earnings.

Economic Hedges

As part of our risk management strategy, we enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133, but are used as economic hedges to manage certain risks in our business. These derivative instruments are marked to market on a periodic basis and recognized currently in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. The Company has the following types of economic hedges:

Foreign Currency Hedges — We entered into forward exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of our intercompany receivable balances that are denominated in Mexican pesos. These contracts generally range from one to 12 months in duration and as of June 13, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $33 million.

Additionally, we fair value certain vendor and customer contracts that have embedded foreign currency derivative components. These contracts generally range from one year to three years and as of June 13, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $15 million.

Unfunded Deferred Compensation Liability — Our unfunded deferred compensation liability is subject to changes in PBG’s stock price as well as price changes in other equity and fixed-income investments. We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on PBG’s stock price. At June 13, 2009, we had a prepaid forward contract for 585,000 shares of PBG’s stock.

The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our cash flow hedges was not material to our results for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009. Assuming no change in the commodity prices and foreign currency rates as measured on June 13, 2009, $19 million of unrealized net losses will be reclassified from AOCL and recognized in earnings over the next 12 months.

Other Derivatives Gains (Losses) Recognition

Note 9—Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans

We participate in PBG sponsored pension and other postretirement medical benefit plans in various forms in the United States and other similar pension plans in our international locations, covering employees who meet specified eligibility requirements.

The assets, liabilities and expense associated with our international plans were not significant to our results of operations and our financial position and are not included in the tables and discussion presented below.

Amortization of net loss		—		1		1		2

Total postretirement medical expense	$	6	$	7	$	12	$	14

Defined Contribution Benefits

Defined contribution expense was $13 million and $7 million for the 12 weeks ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008, respectively, and $21 million and $15 million for the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009 and June 14, 2008, respectively.

Note 10—Income Taxes

During the second quarter of 2009, we reached a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities on an issue related to the 1999-2005 tax years. As a result, our gross reserves for uncertain tax benefits, excluding interest, decreased by $19 million which was reflected as a benefit in income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we decreased our related reserves for interest by approximately $6 million and recognized a tax benefit from interest refunds of approximately $4 million, for a total net tax benefit of $29 million as a result of these items.

We currently have on-going income tax audits in our major tax jurisdictions, where issues such as deductibility of certain expenses have been raised. We believe that it is reasonably possible that our reserves for uncertain tax benefits could further decrease in the range of $10 million to $45 million within the next 12 months as a result of the completion of audits in various jurisdictions and the expiration of statute of limitations. The reductions in our tax reserves could result in a combination of additional tax payments, the adjustment of certain deferred taxes or the recognition of tax benefits in our Condensed Consolidated

Statements of Operations. In the event that we cannot reach settlement of some of these audits, our tax reserves may increase, although we cannot estimate such potential increases at this time.

Note 11—Segment Information

We operate in one industry, carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages, and all of our segments derive revenue from these products. We conduct business in all or a portion of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey. We manage and report operating results through three reportable segments – U.S. & Canada, Europe (which includes Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey) and Mexico.

Operationally, the Company is organized along geographic lines with specific regional management teams having responsibility for the financial results in each reportable segment. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on operating income or loss. Operating income or loss is exclusive of net interest expense, noncontrolling interest, foreign exchange gains and losses and income taxes.

The following tables summarize select financial information related to our reportable segments:

Note 12—Restructuring Charges

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reporting segments with the objective to strengthen customer service and selling effectiveness; simplify decision making and streamline the organization; drive greater cost productivity to adapt to current macroeconomic challenges; and rationalize the Company’s supply chain infrastructure. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,600 positions will be eliminated across all reporting segments, four facilities will be closed in the United States, three plants and about 30 distribution centers will be closed in Mexico and about 700 routes will be eliminated in Mexico. In addition, PBG modified its U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which will generate long-term savings and significantly reduce future financial obligations.

The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million in selling, delivery and administrative expenses over the course of the restructuring program, which are primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges, including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. The program is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2009. Since the inception of the program and through June 13, 2009, we eliminated approximately 2,500 positions across all reporting segments and closed four facilities in the United States, two plants and 10 distribution centers in Mexico and eliminated 432 routes in Mexico.

The Company expects to incur approximately $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $52 million was paid since the inception of the program, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010. This includes $5 million of employee benefit payments pursuant to existing unfunded termination indemnity plans. These benefit payments have been accrued for in previous periods, and therefore, are not included in our estimated cost for this program or the tables below.

The following tables summarize the pre-tax costs associated with the restructuring program.

Note 14—Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, environmental and other matters arising from the normal course of business. We believe that the ultimate liability arising from such claims or contingencies, if any, in excess of amounts already recognized is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Litigation Related to PepsiCo Proposal

On April 19, 2009, PBG received an unsolicited proposal from PepsiCo to acquire all of the outstanding shares of PBG’s common stock not already owned by PepsiCo for $29.50 per share. The proposal consisted of $14.75 in cash plus 0.283 shares of PepsiCo common stock for each share of PBG common stock. Immediately following receipt of the proposal, PBG’s Board of Directors formed a special committee to review the adequacy of the proposal. On May 4, 2009, PBG’s Board of Directors rejected the proposal.

As discussed below, PBG and members of its Board of Directors have been named in a number of lawsuits relating to the PepsiCo proposal. It is not presently possible to accurately forecast the outcome or the ultimate cost of these lawsuits. In the event of prolonged proceedings or a determination adverse to the Company or PBG or its directors or officers, the Company

may incur substantial monetary liability and expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Since April 20, 2009, seven separate stockholder lawsuits were filed in Delaware Chancery Court against PBG and members of its Board of Directors by various shareholder plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated (the “Delaware Lawsuits”). The Delaware Lawsuits generally allege that PBG’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with PepsiCo’s proposal. The Delaware Lawsuits seek declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as an award of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs. The Delaware Lawsuits were consolidated on June 5, 2009, and an amended complaint was filed on June 19, 2009. The amended complaint does not contain any additional causes of action.

Since April 20, 2009, three separate stockholder lawsuits were filed in New York Supreme Court against PBG and members of its Board of Directors by various shareholder plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated (the “New York Lawsuits”). The claims and relief sought under the New York Lawsuits are substantially similar to the Delaware Lawsuits. On June 8, 2009, PBG filed Motions to Dismiss (or, in the alternative, to Stay), asking the Courts to dismiss (or at least stay) the New York Lawsuits because identical claims were first made in Delaware Chancery Court (as described above), and because Delaware is the more appropriate forum for this dispute. The Motions to Dismiss are pending the Courts’ review.

On May 11, 2009, PepsiCo, Inc. and the PBG Board members affiliated with PepsiCo filed a complaint against PBG and the non-PepsiCo affiliated members of its Board of Directors, in Delaware Chancery Court, alleging, among other things, that the named Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by rejecting PepsiCo’s unsolicited proposal to purchase all outstanding shares of PBG that it does not already own, and by adopting certain defensive measures in response to the proposal (the “PepsiCo Lawsuit”). The PepsiCo Lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as an award of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs. PBG’s answer to the PepsiCo Lawsuit is due on August 3, 2009. PepsiCo has informed the Court that it does not seek any expedited action in this matter at this time.

Note 15—Guarantees

PBG has a committed revolving credit facility of $1.2 billion and an uncommitted credit facility of $500 million. Both of these credit facilities are guaranteed by us and will be used to support PBG’s commercial paper program and our working capital requirements. PBG had $153 million and $0 million of outstanding commercial paper at June 13, 2009 and December 27, 2008, respectively.

In March 1999, PBG issued $1 billion of seven percent senior notes due 2029, which are guaranteed by us. We also guarantee that to the extent there is available cash, we will distribute pro rata to PBG and PepsiCo sufficient cash such that the aggregate cash distributed to PBG will enable PBG to pay its taxes, share repurchases, dividends and make interest payments for its internal and external debt.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL REVIEW

Tabular dollars in millions

OUR BUSINESS

Bottling Group, LLC (referred to as “Bottling LLC,” “we,” “our,” “us” and “Company”) is the principal operating subsidiary of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (“PBG”) and consists of substantially all of the operations and the assets of PBG. We have the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in all or a portion of the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey.

We operate in one industry, carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages, and all of our segments derive revenue from these products. We manage and report operating results through three reportable segments – U.S. & Canada, Europe (which includes Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey) and Mexico. Operationally, the Company is organized along geographic lines with specific regional management teams having responsibility for the financial results in each reportable segment.

Management’s Financial Review should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008, which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results. The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes, including various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that affect our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis using our historical experience as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effect cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.

OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008, management believes the following policies, which require the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment, to be the most critical to the portrayal of Bottling LLC’s financial condition and results of operations:

•

Other Intangible Assets, net and Goodwill;

•

Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans; and

•

Income Taxes.

2009 Items

2008 Restructuring Charges

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reportable segments. We anticipate the program to be substantially complete by the end of 2009 and the program is expected to result in annual pre-tax savings of approximately $150 million to $160 million. The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million over the course of the restructuring program. These charges are primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges, including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,600 positions will be eliminated including 800 positions in the U.S. & Canada, 600 positions in Europe and 2,200 positions in Mexico.

Since the inception of the program, the Company incurred pre-tax charges of $97 million. Of this amount, we recorded $9 million in the second quarter of 2009, of which $4 million was recorded in our U.S. & Canada segment, $4 million was recorded in our Mexico segment and $1 million was recorded in our Europe segment. For the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009, we recorded $14 million in pre-tax charges, of which $7 million was recorded in our U.S. & Canada segment, $6 million was recorded in our Mexico segment and $1 million was recorded in our Europe segment.

The Company expects to incur approximately $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $52 million was paid since the inception of the program, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010. During the second quarter of 2009, we paid $17 million in pre-tax cash expenditures for these restructuring actions.

For further information about our restructuring charges see Note 12 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Canada Tax Audit Settlement

During the second quarter of 2009, we reached a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities on an issue related to the 1999-2005 tax years. As a result, we recorded a tax benefit of $29 million which was reflected in income tax expense.

For further information about our tax audit settlement see Note 10 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2008 Items

2007 Restructuring Charges

In the third quarter of 2007, we announced a restructuring program to realign the Company’s organization to adapt to changes in the marketplace, improve operating efficiencies and enhance the growth potential of the Company’s product portfolio. During 2008, we completed the organizational realignment, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 800 positions. Annual cost savings from this restructuring program are approximately $30 million. Over the course of the program we incurred a pre-tax charge of $29 million. Of this amount, we recorded $2 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $1 million in the second quarter of 2008, primarily relating to relocation expenses in our U.S. & Canada segment.

Asset Disposal Costs

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we adopted a Full Service Vending (“FSV”) Rationalization plan to rationalize our vending asset base in our U.S. & Canada segment by disposing of older underperforming assets and redeploying certain assets to higher return accounts. Our FSV business portfolio consists of accounts where we stock and service vending equipment. This plan, which we completed in the second quarter of 2008, was part of the Company’s broader initiative designed to improve operating income margins of our FSV business. Over the course of the FSV Rationalization plan, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $25 million, the majority of which was non-cash, including costs associated with the removal of these assets from service, disposal costs and redeployment expenses. Of this amount, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $1 million associated with the FSV Rationalization plan in each of the first and second quarters of 2008. This charge was recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses.

Worldwide Financial Highlights for the 12 and 24 Weeks Ended June 13, 2009

Foreign Currency Impact — The impact of foreign currency translation for the quarter reduced the growth in reported net revenues and gross profit by seven percentage points. Foreign currency translation also reduced the growth in reported cost of sales and selling, delivery and administrative expenses (“SD&A”) by eight percentage points and operating income by a net four percentage points.

The impact of foreign currency translation for the year-to-date period reduced the growth in reported net revenues and gross profit by six percentage points, cost of sales and SD&A by seven percentage points and operating income by a net two percentage points.

Currency neutral growth rates exclude the impact of foreign currency translation (discussed above) by translating current year results using prior year’s foreign exchange rates.

Volume — Volume decreased by four percent in the second quarter and five percent for the first 24 weeks of 2009, driven by declines in each of our segments due to the soft economic conditions globally, which have negatively impacted the liquid refreshment beverage category. In the second quarter, worldwide volume growth benefited by one percentage point due to the shift of the Easter holiday from the first quarter in 2008 to the second quarter in 2009 (“Easter Shift”).

Net revenues — Reported net revenues declined seven percent in the second quarter and six percent for the first 24 weeks of 2009, driven by a decrease in worldwide volume growth and the negative impact from foreign currency translation. This decline was partially offset by a five percentage point increase in net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis for both the quarter and year-to-date period, driven primarily by rate increases in each of our segments. Reported net revenue per case declined three percent for the quarter and two percent for the year-to-date period, which includes a negative impact of eight percentage points and seven percentage points from foreign currency translation for the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.

Cost of sales — Reported cost of sales declined five percent for both the second quarter and first 24 weeks of 2009, due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and lower volume in the quarter. These declines were partially offset by higher raw material costs coupled with the negative impact of foreign currency transactional costs relating primarily to our U.S. dollar denominated purchases in Europe and Mexico. Currency neutral cost of sales per case increased eight percent in the quarter and seven percent for the year-to-date period. Reported cost of sales per case was flat versus the prior year for both the quarter and the year-to-date period, which includes a negative impact of eight percentage points and seven percentage points from foreign currency translation for the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.

Gross profit — Reported gross profit declined 10 percent in the second quarter and eight percent for the first 24 weeks of 2009, driven by volume declines and the impact of foreign currency translation. This was partially offset by improvement in gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis as rate gains more than offset higher raw material costs due to the Company’s global pricing strategy. Currency neutral gross profit per case increased one percent in the quarter and three percent in the year-to-date period. Reported gross profit per case declined six percent for the quarter and four percent for the year-to-date period, which includes a negative impact of seven percentage points from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and year-to-date period.

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses — Reported SD&A declined by 10 percent in the second quarter and nine percent for the first 24 weeks of 2009, driven by the favorable benefit of foreign currency translation and volume declines coupled with lower operating costs due to continued productivity improvements across all segments.

Operating income — Reported operating income declined 10 percent in the second quarter and five percent for the first 24 weeks of 2009. Restructuring charges reduced operating income growth by two percent for the quarter and year-to-date period. The remaining decrease in reported operating income for the quarter and the year-to-date period was due to volume declines and the negative impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by rate increases, cost and productivity improvements and the positive impact from acquisitions.

Net income attributable to Bottling LLC — Net income attributable to Bottling LLC for the second quarter was $292 million, which decreased 2 percent versus the prior year. The decrease for the quarter includes a net after-tax gain of $20 million, resulting from the benefit of the Canada tax audit settlement and restructuring charges. These items contributed seven percentage points to the net income growth rate for the quarter. The remaining nine percentage point decrease for the quarter was driven by a decline in operating income, higher interest expense on third party loans and lower interest income generated from loans made to PBG. This was partially offset by a lower effective tax rate and the benefit from foreign currency transactional gains.

Net income attributable to Bottling LLC for the first 24 weeks of 2009 was $359 million, which decreased nine percent versus the prior year. The decrease for the year-to-date period includes a net after-tax gain of $15 million, resulting from the benefit of the Canada tax audit settlement and restructuring charges.

These items contributed four percent to the net income growth rate for the year-to-date period. The remaining 13 percent decrease for the year was impacted by higher interest expense on third party loans and lower interest income generated from loans made to PBG, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate.

U.S. & Canada

In our U.S. & Canada segment, volume decreased one percent for the quarter and two percent for the year-to-date period, primarily due to the macroeconomic factors negatively impacting the liquid refreshment beverage category. For the quarter, volume growth benefited by two percentage points due to the Easter holiday shifting from the first quarter in 2008 to the second quarter in 2009. Additionally, volume from our newly acquired rights to distribute Crush, Rockstar and Muscle Milk in the U.S., contributed two percentage points of growth for both the quarter and the year-to-date period and volume from our acquisition of Lane Affiliated Companies, Inc. (“Lane”) contributed one percentage point of growth for both the quarter and the year-to-date period.

Our take-home channel was flat for the quarter and decreased two percent for the year-to-date period. During the quarter, large format stores benefited from improving trends in our carbonated soft drink (“CSD”) portfolio and incremental volume from the Easter Shift.

Our cold drink channel declined seven percent in both the quarter and the year-to-date period. These declines were driven by our foodservice channel, including restaurants, travel and leisure and workplace, which have been particularly impacted by the economic downturn in the United States.

Europe

In our Europe segment, volume declined by 15 percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period. Soft volume performance reflected the overall weak macroeconomic environment and category softness throughout Europe, which resulted in double digit declines in Russia, Spain and Turkey.

Mexico

In our Mexico segment, volume decreased seven percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period, driven by worsening macroeconomics and category softness, coupled with pricing actions taken by the Company to drive improved margins across its portfolio. This drove declines in each of our categories including CSD, bottled water and jug categories.

U.S. & Canada

In our U.S. & Canada segment, net revenues increased one percent in the quarter and were flat for the year-to-date period. Net revenues results for the quarter and year-to-date period reflect improvements in rate per case partially offset by volume declines and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis improved by three percent for the quarter and four percent for the year-to-date period, driven by rate increases taken on the majority of our packages to offset rising raw material costs and improve profitability. Reported net revenue per case increased two percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period, which includes a one percentage point and two percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation for the quarter and the year-to-date period, respectively.

Europe

In our Europe segment, net revenues declined 28 percent for the quarter and year-to-date period, due primarily to the negative impact of foreign currency translation and volume declines. Growth in net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis of eight percent for the quarter and nine percent for the year-to-date period was driven primarily by rate actions and disciplined promotional spending. Europe’s reported net revenue per case declined 16 percent for the quarter and 15 percent for the year-to-date period, which includes a 24 percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and the year-to-date period.

Mexico

In our Mexico segment, declines in net revenues of 24 percent for the quarter and year-to-date period, reflect the negative impact of foreign currency translation and lower volume. Net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis grew six percent for the quarter and year-to-date period, primarily due to rate increases to drive margin improvement. Mexico’s reported net revenue per case declined 19 percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period, which includes a 25 percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and the year-to-date period.

U.S. & Canada

In our U.S. & Canada segment, operating income increased two percent for the quarter and three percent for the year-to-date period, driven by an improvement in operating activities, partially offset by the negative impact from foreign currency translation and items affecting comparability listed above. Increases in operating activities were driven by cost and productivity savings and gross profit per case improvement, partially offset by volume declines.

On a currency neutral basis gross profit per case improved one percent for the quarter and three percent for the year-to-date period driven by growth in net revenue per case, which more than offset higher raw material costs. Reported gross profit per case declined one percent for the quarter and improved one percent for the year-to-date period, which includes a two percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and the year-to-date period.

SD&A improved three percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period due to lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives and volume declines coupled with a two percentage point positive impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by increased costs in connection with employee related benefits.

Europe

In our Europe segment, operating income declines for the quarter and year-to-date period were driven primarily by decreases in volume partially offset by declines in SD&A.

Reported gross profit per case in Europe declined 21 percent for the quarter and 19 percent for the year-to-date period, which includes a 21 percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and the year-to-date period. Gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis was flat for the quarter and increased two percent for the year-to-date period driven by strong rate increases which offset higher raw material costs. Increases in raw material costs in Europe were primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency transactional costs resulting from U.S. dollar and Euro denominated purchases in this segment.

SD&A in Europe improved 28 percent for the quarter and 27 percent for the year-to-date period, which includes a 21 percentage point benefit from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and the year-to-date period. The remaining improvement in SD&A was driven by volume declines, a decrease in bad debt provision due to the Company’s increased focus on credit and collections and lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives throughout Europe.

Mexico

In our Mexico segment, operating income declines for the quarter and year-to-date period were due to decreases in volume growth, partially offset by improved pricing actions and lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives.

Reported gross profit per case declined 21 percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period which includes a negative impact from foreign currency translation of 23 percentage points for the quarter and 24 percentage points for the year-to-date period. Gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis increased two percent for the quarter and three percent for the year-to-date period, reflecting solid margin management which offset rising raw material costs. Higher raw material costs were driven by the negative impact of foreign currency transactional costs resulting from U.S. dollar denominated purchases.

SD&A improved 24 percent for the quarter and 23 percent for the year-to-date period which includes a 23 percentage point benefit from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and the year-to-date period. Restructuring charges increased SD&A by three percentage points for the quarter and two percentage points for the year-to-date period. The remaining decrease in SD&A growth for the quarter and year-to-date period was driven by lower costs associated with volume declines and reduced operating costs attributable to improved route productivity.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $6 million in the second quarter and $26 million on a year-to-date basis versus the prior year, largely due to higher debt levels associated with the issuance of $750 million of senior notes in January 2009 and the pre-funding of our February 2009 $1.3 billion debt maturity.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased $9 million in the second quarter and $24 million on a year-to-date basis versus the prior year, driven primarily by lower effective interest rates on loans made to PBG.

Other Non-operating Income, net

Other net non-operating income was $11 million for the quarter and $4 million for the first 24 weeks of 2009, driven primarily by foreign currency transactional gains recorded in the quarter resulting from strengthening currencies in Europe and Mexico.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily reflects PepsiCo’s 40 percent ownership in the PR Beverages venture. The $2 million decrease in the second quarter and on a year-to-date basis was primarily driven by lower income in the PR Beverages venture.

Income Tax Expense

We are a limited liability company, classified as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes and, as such, generally will pay limited U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Our federal and state distributive shares of income, deductions and credits are allocated to our owners based on their percentage of ownership. However, certain domestic and foreign affiliates pay taxes in their respective jurisdictions and record related deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Our effective tax rate for the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009 was a benefit of 2.7 percent compared with our effective tax rate of 6.5 percent for the 24 weeks ended June 14, 2008. The decrease in our 2009 effective tax rate was primarily driven by a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities related to an issue in dispute for 1999-2005 tax years, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $29 million. These audit settlements benefited our effective tax rate by approximately 8.3 percentage points. In addition, in 2009, we have certain tax planning strategies that are favorably impacting our tax provision.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash Flows

24 Weeks Ended June 13, 2009 vs. June 14, 2008

Bottling LLC generated $426 million of net cash from operations, an increase of $201 million from 2008. The increase in net cash provided by operations was driven primarily by the timing of disbursements and higher interest received from the note receivable from PBG, partially offset by an $88 million pension contribution made in 2009.

Net cash used for investments was $431 million, a decrease of $84 million from 2008. The decrease in cash used for investments was due to lower capital expenditures, partially offset by a loan to our Lebedyansky non-controlled affiliate, which was contemplated as part of the initial capitalization of the purchase of Lebedyansky between PepsiCo and us and higher acquisition spending.

Net cash used for financing activities was $418 million, an increase of $636 million from 2008. This increase in cash used for financing activities reflects the repayment of our $1.3 billion bond and lower proceeds from short-term borrowings, partially offset by the issuance of a $750 million bond.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash include cash from our operating activities and the issuance of debt and bank borrowings. We believe that these cash inflows will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, acquisitions and working capital requirements for PBG and us for the foreseeable future. Our liquidity remains healthy and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near-future.

During the first quarter of 2009, we issued $750 million in senior notes, with a coupon rate of 5.125 percent, maturing in 2019. The net proceeds of the offering, together with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of our senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2008, were used to repay our senior notes due at their scheduled maturity on February 17, 2009. The next significant scheduled debt maturity is not until 2012.

For the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009, we made $88 million of contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension trust.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 13, 2009, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in the contractual obligations disclosed in Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008, under the caption “Contractual Obligations”.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 with the exception of the following:

Uncertainty resulting from PepsiCo’s unsolicited proposal to purchase all outstanding shares of PBG that it does not already own and related matters could adversely affect our business and financial results.

On April 19, 2009, PBG received an unsolicited proposal from PepsiCo to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of PBG that PepsiCo does not already own. On May 4, 2009, PBG’s Board of Directors rejected the proposal. Until the status of this proposal is resolved, there may be continuing uncertainty for our employees, customers and other business partners. This continuing uncertainty could negatively impact our business. Additionally, PBG and members of its Board of Directors have been named in a number of lawsuits relating to the PepsiCo proposal as more fully described in Note 14 — “Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These lawsuits or any future lawsuits may be time consuming and expensive. These matters, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
