What were the main drivers of PepsiCo's revenue growth in this period?

PepsiCo's revenue growth was primarily driven by a combination of higher volume across its divisions and positive "effective net pricing." For the 12-week period, volume contributed over 6 percentage points and effective net pricing contributed 4 percentage points to net revenue growth. Acquisitions also contributed about 1 percentage point.

How did the company's international segment perform?

The PepsiCo International segment showed strong performance, with both snack and beverage volumes growing significantly. For the 12 weeks, international snack volume grew 11% and beverage volume grew 10%. Acquisitions contributed to volume growth in regions like Europe, Middle East & Africa and Asia Pacific. Operating profit for the international segment grew by 21% in both the 12 and 24-week periods.

What is the impact of stock-based compensation on the financial results?

For the 24 weeks ended June 17, 2006, PepsiCo recognized $128 million in stock-based compensation expense. This adoption of SFAS 123R, under the modified prospective method, did not significantly impact financial position or results of operations as the company was already accounting for stock-based compensation under fair value provisions. Excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements were reported as a financing cash inflow under the new standard.

What are the company's key investments and capital allocation priorities?

PepsiCo is making significant capital investments, anticipating net capital spending of approximately $2.2 billion for 2006, which is above their long-term target. These investments are directed towards the ongoing Business Process Transformation (BPT) initiative, the North American Gatorade business, and expanding manufacturing capacity in China for snacks and beverages. The company plans to return approximately all of its management operating cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
