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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and
footnotes required by GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements 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.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.
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
January 2, 2011 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Seasonality of Business
Historically, operating results for the first quarter 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 Coca-Cola Bottling
Partnership (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 April 3, 2011, January 2, 2011 and April 4, 2010 primarily
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.

10. Debt
On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility ($200 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 interest period. 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 cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or lower.
The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. These covenants do not currently,
and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On
April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the $200 million
facility. On April 4, 2010, the Company had $30 million of outstanding borrowings on the $200
million facility.
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit.
Under this agreement, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days,
30 days, 60 days or 90 days at the discretion of the participating banks. On April 3, 2011 and
January 2, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit.
On April 4, 2010, the Company had $20 million of outstanding borrowings on the uncommitted line of
credit.
The Company had a weighted average interest rate of 5.9%, 5.8% and 5.4% for its debt and capital
lease obligations as of April 3, 2011, January 2, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. The
Companys overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 6.0%
for Q1 2011 compared to 5.7% for Q1 2010. As of April 3, 2011, none of the Companys debt and
capital lease obligations of $600 million were 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 the previously accrued interest
receivable, the Company began amortizing a gain of $5.1 million over the remaining term of the
underlying debt. As of April 3, 2011, the remaining amount to be amortized was $2.2 million. All
of the Companys interest rate swap agreements were LIBOR-based.
During both Q1 2011 and Q1 2010, the Company amortized deferred gains related to terminated
interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements by $.3 million, which was
recorded as a reduction to interest expense.
The Company had no interest rate swap agreements outstanding at April 3, 2011, January 2, 2011 and
April 4, 2010.
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 GAAP and are used as economic hedges to manage
commodity price risk. Currently the Company has derivative instruments to hedge some or all of its
projected diesel fuel, unleaded gasoline and aluminum purchase requirements. These derivative
instruments are marked to market on a monthly basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the
expense classification of the underlying hedged item. Settlements of derivative agreements are
included in cash flows from operating activities on the Companys consolidated statements of cash
flows.
The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments 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 provide for net settlement of derivative transactions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
11. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company used derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of the diesel fuel purchases
for 2010 and is using derivative instruments to hedge all of the Companys projected diesel fuel and
unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011. These derivative
instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used by the Companys delivery fleet and
other vehicles. The Company used derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of its
aluminum purchase requirements in 2010 and is using derivative instruments to hedge approximately
75% of the Companys projected aluminum purchase requirements for 2011.
The following table summarizes Q1 2011 and Q1 2010 net gains and losses on the Companys fuel and
aluminum derivative financial instruments and the classification, either as cost of sales or
selling, delivery and administrative (S,D&A) expenses, of such net gains and losses in the

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of
its 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.
15
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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 fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements are based on
current settlement values. The fair values of the fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements at
each balance sheet date represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received or paid
upon termination of these agreements. 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.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Companys debt, deferred compensation plan assets and
liabilities, and derivative financial instruments were as follows:

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 agreement 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 agreement and are considered Level 2 items.
The Company does not have Level 3 assets or liabilities. Also, there were no transfers of assets
or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 for any of the periods presented.

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 $34.5 million, $29.0 million and $39.0 million as of April 3, 2011,
January 2, 2011 and April 4, 2010, 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 its
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 April 3, 2011 would have been
$25.2 million for SAC and $25.2 million for Southeastern and the Companys maximum total exposure,
including its equity investment, would have been $31.9 million for SAC and $43.2 million for
Southeastern.
The Company has been purchasing plastic bottles from Southeastern and finished products from SAC
for more than ten years and has never had to pay against these guarantees.
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 April 3,
2011, SAC had total assets of approximately $44 million and total debt of approximately $18
million. SAC had total revenues for Q1 2011 of approximately $42 million. As of April 3, 2011,
Southeastern had total assets of approximately $376 million and total debt of approximately $194
million. Southeastern had total revenue for Q1 2011 of approximately $159 million.
The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty
insurance programs. On April 3, 2011, these letters of credit totaled $23.2 million. The Company
was required to maintain $4.5 million of restricted cash for letters of credit beginning in the
second quarter of 2009 which was reduced to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. As of
April 3, 2011, the Company maintained $3.5 million of restricted cash for these letters of credit.
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 April 3, 2011 amounted to $19.3 million and expire at various dates through
2020.

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 tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before
income taxes, for Q1 2011 and Q1 2010 was 37.9% and 42.0%, respectively. The Companys effective
tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by the difference of income before income
taxes minus net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest, for Q1 2011 and Q1 2010 was
40.0% and 44.4%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for Q1 2010 was primarily due to the
impact of the elimination of the tax deduction associated with Medicare Part D subsidy as required by the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) enacted on March 23, 2010 and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Reconciliation Act) enacted on March 30, 2010.

As of April 3, 2011, the Company had $5.0 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued
interest, of which $2.6 million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. The
Company had $4.8 million of uncertain tax positions as of January 2, 2011, including accrued
interest, of which $2.5 million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. The
Company had $5.7 million of uncertain tax positions as of April 4, 2010, including accrued
interest, of which $3.6 million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. While
it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the
Company does not expect any change to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in
income tax expense. As of April 3, 2011, the Company had approximately $.5 million of accrued
interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of January 2, 2011, the Company had approximately
$.4 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of April 4, 2010, the
Company had approximately $1.0 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.
Income tax expense included interest expense of approximately $.1 million in both Q1 2011 and Q1
2010.
The PPACA and the Reconciliation Act include provisions that will reduce the tax benefits available
to employers that receive Medicare Part D subsidies. As a result, during the first quarter of
2010, the Company recorded tax expense totaling $.5 million related to changes made to the tax
deductibility of Medicare Part D subsidies.
Various tax years from 1992 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.

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
Q1 2011 and Q1 2010, dividends of $.25 per share were declared and paid on both the 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 April 29, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for
J. Frank Harrison, III, the Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer, 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 vest in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The
number of Units that vest each year equals the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal
achievement factor (not to exceed 100%) under the Companys Annual Bonus Plan.
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, grant-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.
On March 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee determined that 40,000 shares of the Companys Class B
Common Stock, should be issued pursuant to a Performance Unit Award Agreement to J. Frank Harrison,
III, in connection with his services in 2009 as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. As permitted under the terms of the Performance Unit Award
Agreement, 17,680 of such shares were settled in cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations in
connection with the vesting of the performance units.

On March 8, 2011, the Compensation Committee determined that 40,000 shares of the Companys Class
B Common Stock, should be issued pursuant to a Performance Unit Award Agreement to J. Frank
Harrison, III, in connection with his services in 2010 as Chairman of the Board of Directors and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As permitted under the terms of the Performance Unit
Award Agreement, 17,680 of such shares were settled in cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations
in connection with the vesting of the performance units.
Compensation expense for the Performance Unit Award Agreement recognized in Q1 2011 was $.7
million, which was based upon a share price of $66.79 on April 1, 2011. Compensation expense
recognized in Q1 2010 was $.6 million, which was based upon a share price of $58.45 on April 1,
2010.
The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in Q1 2011 was due to the issuance of the
22,320 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the Performance Unit Award Agreement. The
increase in the total number of shares outstanding in Q1 2010 was due to the issuance of 22,320
shares of Class B Common Stock related to the Performance Unit Award Agreement.
18. Benefit Plans
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
The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of its employees who are not part
of collective bargaining agreements. The Company matched the first 3% of its employees
contributions for 2010 and 2011. The Company maintains the option to increase the matching
contributions an additional 2%, for a total of 5%, for the Companys employees based on the
financial results. Based on the financial results of the first quarter of 2010, the Company
decided to increase the matching contributions an additional 2% for that quarter, which was
approved and paid in the second quarter of 2010. The total cost,
including the estimate for the additional 2% matching
contributions, for this benefit in Q1 2011 and Q1
2010 was $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Multi-Employer Benefits
The Company entered into a new agreement in the third quarter of 2008 after one of its collective
bargaining contracts expired in July 2008. The new agreement allowed the Company to freeze its
liability to Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (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 over
the next 20 years and was recorded in other liabilities. Including the $3.0 million to Southern
States, the Company has paid approximately $5 million from the
fourth quarter of 2008 through Q1 2011 and will pay
approximately $1 million annually over the next 17½ years.

nor was there any impairment in 2010.
The Company leases from Harrison Limited Partnership One (HLP) the Snyder Production Center
(SPC) and an adjacent sales facility, which are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. 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. The original lease was to expire on December 31, 2010.
On March 23, 2009, the Company modified the lease agreement (new terms began on 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
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 April 3, 2011
was $26.9 million. Rental payments related to this lease were $0.9 million and $0.8 million in Q1
2011 and Q1 2010, 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 April 3, 2011 was $28.6 million. Rental payments related to the lease were $1.0 million and
$.9 million in Q1 2011 and Q1 2010, respectively.

22. Risks and Uncertainties
Approximately 88% of the Companys Q1 2011 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 Q1 2011
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 Coca-Cola Company recently acquired the North American operations of CCE, and the Companys
primary competitors were recently acquired by their franchisor. These transactions may cause
uncertainty within the Coca-Cola bottler system or adversely impact the Company and its business.
At this time, it is unknown whether the transactions will have a material impact on the Companys
business and financial results.
The Companys products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and
other outlets. During Q1 2011, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can volume to retail
customers was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume to retail
customers of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. During Q1 2010, approximately
70% of the Companys bottle/can volume to retail customers was sold for future consumption, while
the remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of approximately 30% was sold for immediate
consumption. The Companys largest customers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC, accounted
for approximately 20% and 10%, respectively, of the Companys total bottle/can volume to retail
customers in Q1 2011; and accounted for approximately 19% and 12%, respectively, of the Companys
total bottle/can volume to retail customers in Q1 2010. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 14% of
the Companys total net sales during both Q1 2011 and Q1 2010.
The Company obtains all of its aluminum cans from two domestic suppliers. 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 crude 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, retirement benefit
obligations and the Companys pension liability.
Approximately 7% of the Companys labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements. Two
collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 6% of the Companys employees will expire
during the remainder of 2011. Subsequent to Q1 2011, one of these collective bargaining
agreements covering

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In
January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and
out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification.
The new guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation
and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The new guidance was
effective for the Company in Q1 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for the Company
in Q1 2011. The Companys adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

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 primarily consists of The Coca-Cola Companys interest in Piedmont, which
was 22.7% for all periods presented.
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 is the largest independent 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 carbonated beverages including energy
products. Still beverages are noncarbonated beverages such as bottled water, tea, ready to drink
coffee, enhanced water, juices and sports drinks. The Company had
full year net sales of approximately $1.5
billion in 2010.
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. The sparkling beverage category
(including energy products) represents 83% of the Companys Q1 2011 bottle/can net sales.
33
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 advertising. The Company believes it is competitive in its territories with
respect to each of these methods.
Historically, operating results for the first quarter 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 Q1 2011, the Company did not experience any triggering events or
changes in circumstances that indicated the carrying amounts of the Companys franchise rights or
goodwill exceeded fair values. As such, the Company has not recognized any impairments of
franchise rights or goodwill.
The Coca-Cola Company acquired Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE) on October 2, 2010. In
connection with the transaction, CCE changed its name to Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (CCR),
and transferred its beverage operations outside of North America to an independent third party. As
a result of the transaction, the North American operations of CCE are now included in CCR. In
M,D&A, references to CCR refer to CCR and CCE as it existed prior to the acquisition by The
Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company had a significant equity interest in CCE prior to the
acquisition. In addition, the Companys primary competitors were recently acquired by their
franchisor. These transactions may cause uncertainty within the Coca-Cola bottler system or
adversely impact the Company and its business. At this time, it is unknown whether the
transactions will have a material impact on the Companys business and financial results.

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
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. During 2008, the Company tested the 16-ounce
bottle/24-ounce bottle package in select convenience stores and introduced it companywide in 2009.
New packaging introductions included the 7.5-ounce sleek can in 2010 and the 2-liter contour bottle
for Coca-Cola products during 2009.
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, diet Country Breeze tea, Bean & Body, Simmer and
Bazza energy tea. 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 exclusively licensed brands appear
promising, the cost of developing, marketing and distributing these brands is anticipated to be
significant as well.
Distribution Cost Management
Distribution costs represent the costs of transporting finished goods from Company locations to
customer outlets. Total distribution costs amounted to $45.9 million and $44.9 million in Q1 2011
and Q1 2010, 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 selling, delivery and administrative (S,D&A) expense management
relates to ongoing improvements in labor productivity and asset productivity.

The Companys net sales increased 3.5% in Q1 2011 compared to Q1 2010. The increase in net sales
was primarily due to a 2.2% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit. The increase in
bottle/can sales price per unit was primarily due to an increase in sales price per unit in
sparkling beverages and a change in product mix due to a higher percentage of still beverage sales.
Still beverages have a higher sales price per unit.
Gross margin dollars increased 1.7% in Q1 2011 compared to Q1 2010. The Companys gross margin
percentage decreased to 41.5% for Q1 2011 from 42.2% for Q1 2010. The decrease in gross margin
percentage was primarily due to higher costs for raw materials such as plastic bottles and a change
in product mix. Sales volume of still beverages, which have
lower margins than sparkling beverages, increased while sparkling beverages sales volume decreased.
The following inputs represent a substantial portion of the Companys total cost of goods sold: (1)
sweeteners, (2) packing materials, including plastic bottles and aluminum cans, and (3) full goods
purchased from other vendors. The Company anticipates that the cost of the underlying commodities
related to these inputs will continue to face upward cost pressure. The Company expects gross
margins to be lower throughout the remainder of 2011 compared to 2010 due to the impact of the
rising commodity costs.
S,D&A expenses increased .7% in Q1 2011 from Q1 2010. The increase in S,D&A expenses in Q1 2011
from Q1 2010 was primarily attributable to increases in employee salaries including bonus and
incentive expense, fuel costs and marketing expense offset partially by a decrease in property and
casualty insurance expense.
Net interest expense was unchanged in Q1 2011 compared to Q1 2010. Net interest expense was
unchanged as lower borrowing levels offset a higher weighted average interest rate. The Companys
overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations increased to 6.0%
during Q1 2011 from 5.7% during Q1 2010.
Net debt and capital lease obligations were summarized as follows:

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
37
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2011 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 Q1 2011. 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In
January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and
out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification. The new guidance
also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs
and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The new guidance was effective for the
Company in Q1 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for the Company in Q1 2011. The
Companys adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

In Q1 2011, the Companys bottle/can sales to retail customers accounted for 81% of the Companys
total net sales. Bottle/can 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 price per unit in Q1 2011 compared to Q1 2010 was
primarily due to an increase in sales price per unit in sparkling beverages and a change in product
mix due to a higher percentage of still beverages sales. Still beverages have a higher sales price
per unit.
Product category sales volume in Q1 2011 and Q1 2010 as a percentage of total bottle/can sales

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 Q1 2011, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can volume
was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 32% was
sold for immediate consumption. During Q1 2010, approximately 70% of the Companys bottle/can
volume was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 30%
was sold for immediate consumption. The Companys largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.,
accounted for approximately 20% of the Companys total bottle/can volume during Q1 2011. Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately 19% of the Companys total bottle/can volume during Q1
2010. The Companys second largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 10% of
the Companys total bottle/can volume during Q1 2011. Food Lion, LLC accounted for approximately
12% of the Companys total bottle/can volume during Q1 2010. All of the Companys beverage sales
are to customers in the United States.
The Company recorded delivery fees in net sales of $1.8 million in both Q1 2011 and Q1 2010. 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 increased 4.8%, or $9.7 million, to $210.5 million in Q1 2011 compared to $200.8
million in Q1 2010.

The Company entered into an agreement (the Incidence Pricing Agreement) with The Coca-Cola
Company to test an incidence-based concentrate pricing model for 2008 for all Coca-Cola Trademark
Beverages and Allied Beverages for which the Company purchases concentrate from The Coca-Cola
Company. During the term of the Incidence Pricing Agreement, the pricing of the concentrates for
the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and Allied Beverages is governed by the Incidence Pricing
Agreement rather than the Cola and Allied Beverage Agreements. The concentrate price The Coca-Cola
Company charges under the Incidence Pricing Agreement is impacted by a number of factors including
the Companys pricing of finished products, the channels in which the finished products are sold
and package mix. The Coca-Cola Company must give the Company at least 90 days written notice
before changing the price the Company pays for the concentrate. The Company continues to utilize
the incidence pricing model, and the Incidence Pricing Agreement has been extended through December
31, 2011 under the same terms as 2010 and 2009.
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.
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 $12.6
million for Q1 2011 compared to $12.4 million for Q1 2010.

The decrease in gross margin percentage in Q1 2011 compared to Q1 2010 was primarily due to higher
costs of raw materials such as plastic bottles and a change in product mix. Sales volume of still
beverages, which have lower margins than sparkling beverages,
increased while sparkling beverages sales volume decreased.
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 increased by $.9 million, or .7%, to $130.0 million in Q1 2011 from $129.0 million
in Q1 2010. S,D&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 37.1% in Q1 2010 to 36.1%
in Q1 2011.

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 $45.9 million and $44.9 million in Q1 2011 and Q1 2010,
respectively.
The net impact of the Companys fuel hedging program was to decrease fuel costs by $25,000 in Q1
2011 and increase fuel costs by $.4 million in Q1 2010.
The
Companys expense recorded in S,D&A expenses related to the two Company-sponsored pension plans
decreased by $.7 million from $1.3 million in Q1 2010 to $.6 million in Q1 2011.
The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of its employees who are not part
of collective bargaining agreements. The Company matched the first 3% of its employees
contributions for 2010 and 2011. The Company maintains the option to increase the matching
contributions an additional 2%, for a total of 5%, for the Companys employees based on the
financial results. Based on the financial results of the first quarter of 2010, the Company
decided to increase the matching contributions an additional 2% for that quarter, which was
approved and paid in the second quarter of 2010. The total cost,
including the estimate for the additional 2% matching contributions, for this benefit in Q1 2011 and Q1
2010 was $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law.
On March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(Reconciliation Act), was also signed into law. The PPACA and the Reconciliation Act, when taken
together, represent comprehensive healthcare reform legislation that will likely affect the cost
associated with providing employer-sponsored medical plans. At this point, the Company is in the
process of determining the impact this legislation will have on the Companys employer-sponsored
medical plans.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense was unchanged in Q1 2011 compared to Q1 2010. Net interest expense was
unchanged as lower borrowing levels offset a higher weighted average interest rate. The Companys
overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations increased to 6.0%
during Q1 2011 from 5.7% during Q1 2010. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources Hedging
Activities Interest Rate Hedging section of M,D&A for additional information.

The Companys effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before
income taxes, for Q1 2011 and Q1 2010 was 37.9% and 42.0%, respectively. The Companys effective
tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by the difference of income before income
taxes minus net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest, for Q1 2011 and Q1 2010 was
40.0% and 44.4%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for Q1 2010 was primarily due to the
impact of the elimination of the tax deduction associated with Medicare Part D subsidy as required by the PPACA
and the Reconciliation Act.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company recorded net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $.6 million in Q1
2011 compared to $.5 million in Q1 2010 primarily related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The
Coca-Cola Company. The increased amount in Q1 2011 was due to higher income at Piedmont.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased to $1.33 billion at April 3, 2011, from $1.31 billion at January 2, 2011
primarily due to increases in leased property under capital leases, net, accounts receivables and
inventories partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in leased
property under capital leases, net was primarily due to the Company entering into leases for two
sales distribution centers.
Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, increased by $6.1 million
to $94.0 million at April 3, 2011 from January 2, 2011 and decreased by $3.1 million at April 3,
2011 from April 4, 2010.
Significant changes in net working capital from January 2, 2011 were as follows:
|
|
A decrease in accrued compensation of $17.2 million primarily due to the payment of bonuses
in March 2011. |
|
|
|
A decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $15.5 million primarily due to cash used in
operating activities. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $14.0 million primarily due to normal seasonal
increase in sales. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable from and an increase in accounts payable to The
Coca-Cola Company of $3.2 million and $9.7 million, respectively, primarily due to the timing
of payments. |
|
|
|
An increase in inventories of
$7.7 million due primarily to the timing of the Easter weekend
in the second quarter of 2011 (Easter weekend included in
Q1 2010) and the related promotional activities. |
|
|
|
An increase in accrued interest payable of $4.5 million due to the timing of payments. |
Significant changes in net working capital from April 4, 2010 were as follows:
|
|
A decrease in the current portion of debt of $20.0 million due to lower borrowings on the
Companys uncommitted line of credit. |
|
|
|
A decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $17.9 million primarily due to payment of debt. |
|
|
|
A decrease in accounts receivable from and a decrease in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola
Company of $1.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively, primarily due to the timing of
payments. |
|
|
|
An increase in inventories of
$7.9 million due primarily to the timing of the Easter weekend in
the second quarter of 2011 (Easter weekend included in
Q1 2010) and the related promotional activities. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts payable, trade of $5.1 million primarily due to the timing of
payments. |
Debt and capital lease obligations were $600.0 million as of April 3, 2011 compared to $582.3
million as of January 2, 2011 and $635.1 million as of
April 4, 2010 with the increase due to the two new capital
leases entered into during Q1 2011. Debt and capital lease
obligations as of April 3, 2011 included $76.9 million of capital lease obligations related
primarily to Company facilities.

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 April 3, 2011, the Company had all $200 million available under the $200 million revolving
credit facility ($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 cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or
lower. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants and has been throughout 2011.
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 April 3, 2011, $523.1 million of the Companys total outstanding balance of
debt and capital lease obligations of $600.0 million was financed through publicly offered debt.
The Company had capital lease obligations of $76.9 million as of April 3, 2011. There were no
amounts outstanding on either the $200 million facility or on
the Companys uncommitted line of credit as of
April 3, 2011. The Companys $200 million facility matures in March 2012. The Company intends to
negotiate a new revolving credit facility during 2011 to provide ongoing liquidity to the Company.
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, income tax
payments and pension payments.

Investing Activities
Additions to property, plant and equipment during Q1 2011 were $11.6 million of which $2.5 million
were accrued in accounts payable, trade as unpaid. This compared to $11.2 million in total
additions to property, plant and equipment during Q1 2010 of which $1.7 million were accrued in
accounts payable, trade as unpaid and $1.5 million which was a trade-in-allowance on manufacturing
equipment. Capital expenditures during Q1 2011 were funded with cash flows from operations. The
Company anticipates total additions to property, plant and equipment in fiscal year 2011 will be in
the range of $60 million to $70 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 the $200 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 interest period. 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. The Company is
currently in compliance with these covenants. These covenants do not currently, and the
Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On April 3,
2011 and January 2,
45
2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility.
On April 4, 2010, the Company had $30.0 million outstanding under the $200 million facility.
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit.
Under this agreement, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days, 30
days, 60 days or 90 days at the discretion of the participating bank. On April 3, 2011 and January
3, 2011, the Company had no amount outstanding under the uncommitted line of credit. On April 4,
2010, the Company had $20.0 million outstanding under the uncommitted line of credit.
In Q1 2011, the Company entered into leases for two sales distribution centers. Each lease has a
term of 15 years with various monthly rental payments. The capital lease obligation incurred for the
two leases was $18.6 million.
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 six capital leases.
At April 3, 2011, 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 $34.5 million of debt
and related lease obligations for these entities as of April 3, 2011. 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 April 3, 2011, the Companys maximum exposure, if the entities
borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $75.1 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 $5.0 million of uncertain tax positions including accrued interest as of
April 3, 2011 (excluded from other long-term liabilities in the table above because the Company is
uncertain as to if or when such amounts will be recognized) of which $2.6 million would affect the
Companys effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax
positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect any change to have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. 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 April 3, 2011, the Company has $23.2 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 made contributions to the Company-sponsored pension plans of $.9 million in Q1
2011. Based on information currently available, the Company anticipates cash contributions during
the remainder of
47
2011 will be approximately $9 million. Postretirement medical care payments are
expected to be approximately $3 million in 2011. 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.
The Company has not had any interest rate swap agreements outstanding since September 2008.
Interest expense was reduced due to the amortization of deferred gains on previously terminated
interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements by $.3 million during both Q1
2011 and Q1 2010.
The weighted average interest rate of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations was 5.9% as
of April 3, 2011 compared to 5.8% as of January 2, 2011 and 5.4% as of April 4, 2010. The
Companys overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations
increased to 6.0% in Q1 2011 from 5.7% in Q1 2010. None of the Companys debt and capital lease
obligations of $600.0 million as of April 3, 2011 was maintained on a floating rate basis and was
subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
Fuel Hedging
The Company used derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of the projected diesel fuel
purchases for 2010. The Company is using derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of the
projected diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters of
2011. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used by the
Companys delivery fleet and other vehicles. 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.
The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments to
minimize the concentration of credit risk. The Company has master agreements with the
counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative
transactions.
In February 2009, the Company entered into derivative contracts to hedge substantially all of its
projected diesel purchases for 2010 establishing an upper limit on the Companys price of diesel
fuel.
In
February 2011, the Company entered into derivative instruments
to hedge all of the Companys projected
diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011
establishing an upper limit on the Companys price of diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline.
The net impact of the Companys fuel hedging program was to decrease fuel costs by $25,000 in Q1
2011 and increase fuel costs by $.4 million in Q1 2010.
48
Aluminum Hedging
During 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of the
projected 2010 and 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 aluminum hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being
reflected as an adjustment to cost of sales.
The net impact of the Companys aluminum hedging program was to decrease cost of sales by $13,000
in Q1 2011 and decrease cost of sales by $.5 million in Q1 2010.

51
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 may
periodically use interest rate hedging products to modify risk from interest rate fluctuations.
The counterparties on any interest rate hedging arrangements are major financial institutions with
which the Company also had other financial relationships. The Company did not have any interest
rate hedging products as of April 3, 2011. None of the Companys debt and capital lease
obligations of $600.0 million as of April 3, 2011 was subject to changes in short-term interest
rates.
Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk
The Company is also subject to commodity price risk arising from price movements for certain other
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 entered into derivative instruments to hedge essentially all of the diesel fuel
purchases for 2010. The Company entered into derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of
the projected diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters
of 2011. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used by the
Companys delivery fleet and other vehicles. 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.
During 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of the
projected 2010 and 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 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 that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 3, 2011.
There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended April 3, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
