Summary
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on March 31, 2011, to announce and provide reclassified historical segment information due to changes in management responsibility and reporting structure effective at the beginning of their 2011 fiscal year. Specifically, the Quaker snacks business in North America will now be reported under the Quaker Foods North America (QFNA) segment, previously part of Frito-Lay North America (FLNA). Additionally, the South Africa snacks business will be moved from the Asia, Middle East & Africa (AMEA) segment to the Europe segment. These adjustments are primarily for internal management and reporting alignment and do not alter PepsiCo's previously reported consolidated financial statements for any prior periods. However, the company will present its financial statements going forward with this new segment structure, and prior periods will be retrospectively adjusted to reflect these changes. Investors should note that this filing does not introduce new financial results but rather clarifies how historical results will be viewed under the updated operational segments.
