Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 16 - Business Segments

In 1998, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related Information, which is generally based on our 1998 management reporting. The prior years' segment information presented in this footnote has been restated to present our five reportable segments as follows:

  • Pepsi-Cola
    - North America
    - International
  • Frito-Lay
    - North America
    - International
  • Tropicana
The North American segments include the United States and Canada. The Tropicana segment includes its worldwide results.In contemplation of the proposed separation from PepsiCo of our bottling operation (see Note 18), we completed a reorganization of our Pepsi-Cola businesses in 1999. Our 1998 financial statements do not reflect the reorganization.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. All intersegment net sales and expenses are immaterial and have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating profit.
