What were the main drivers of PepsiCo's revenue growth in the first quarter of 2005?

PepsiCo's net revenue increased by 7% primarily due to effective net pricing across all divisions (contributing 3 percentage points), increased volume (contributing 3 percentage points), and favorable foreign currency movements (contributing 1 percentage point).

How did the different divisions perform in terms of revenue and profit?

Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) saw a 6% revenue increase and 6% profit increase. PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA) had a 4% revenue increase but an 8% profit increase, driven by favorable mix and pricing.

How did PepsiCo manage its cash flow during the quarter?

Net cash provided by operating activities was $749 million. Investing activities used $1.4 billion, largely due to the $750 million acquisition of Snack Ventures Europe (SVE) and purchases of short-term investments.
