Frito-Lay North America

2001 vs. 2000
Pound volume advanced 3% excluding the impact of the fifty-third week in 2000. This growth was led by single-digit growth in Lay's potato chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Doritos tortilla chips, Fritos corn chips and the introduction of our new Lay's Bistro Gourmet potato chips. These gains were partially offset by a double-digit decline in Ruffles potato chips. Pound volume growth including the fifty-third week in 2000 was 1%.

Comparable net sales grew 6% due to higher effective net pricing and the increased volume. Lay's Bistro Gourmet potato chips contributed 1 percentage point to this growth.

Comparable operating profit increased 10% primarily reflecting the higher effective net pricing and increased volume, partially offset by increased advertising and marketing expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses grew at a faster rate than sales primarily due to increased promotional allowances.

2000 vs. 1999
Pound volume advanced 5% excluding the impact of the fifty-third week. This growth was primarily driven by most of our core brands, excluding the low-fat and no-fat versions, and by our new Snack Kit products. The growth in core brands was led by solid single-digit growth in Lay's potato chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks and Ruffles potato chips, as well as double-digit growth in Tostitos tortilla chips. These gains were partially offset by continued declines in WOW! products. Pound volume growth including the fifty-third week was 7%.

Comparable operating profit increased 12% primarily reflecting the higher volume, the higher effective net pricing and reduced vegetable oil costs, partially offset by higher energy and fuel costs.

The fifty-third week enhanced reported operating profit growth by 2 percentage points.

The weaker foreign currencies, primarily in Brazil and the United Kingdom, decreased operating profit growth by 2 percentage points.

2000 vs. 1999
Kilo volume increased 10%, excluding the impact of the fifty-third week. This growth was primarily driven by a 13% increase in salty snack kilos and a 9% increase in other non-snack food kilos.

Pepsi-Cola North America

2001 vs. 2000
Concentrate shipments and equivalents increased 4%, excluding the impact of the fifty-third week in 2000. This increase was primarily driven by high single-digit growth in Mountain Dew reflecting the introduction of Code Red, strong growth in Sierra Mist and Aquafina, the acquisition of SoBe and the launch of Dole. These gains were partially offset by a low single-digit decline in trademark Pepsi, which was mitigated, in part, by the successful launch of Pepsi Twist, and a double-digit decline in Slice reflecting the strong growth of Sierra Mist. Bottler case sales volume increased 4%. The carbonated soft drink portfolio and the acquisition of SoBe each contributed 1 percentage point to both concentrate shipments and equivalents and bottler case sales growth.

Comparable net sales increased 18% primarily due to the increased volume and higher effective net pricing. The acquisition of SoBe and our new products Dole, Mountain Dew Code Red, Sierra Mist and Pepsi Twist, accounted for the majority of the volume growth. These gains were partially offset by increased customer support. SoBe and Dole are sold as finished product to our bottling system. Accordingly, net sales growth was accelerated due to their significantly higher price per unit. The SoBe acquisition contributed 7 percentage points to net sales growth.

Comparable operating profit increased 13% primarily due to the increased volume and higher effective net pricing. These gains were partially offset by the increased advertising and marketing expenses related to bottler funding and other programs, increased general and administrative expenses and the increased customer support.

The SoBe acquisition reduced operating profit growth by 4 percentage points.

Bottler case sales volume increased 1% driven by double-digit growth in Aquafina and distribution gains from Fruitworks. In addition, the introduction of Sierra Mist and low single-digit growth in Diet Pepsi contributed to the increase.

On a fifty-three week basis, concentrate shipments increased 1.3%.

Comparable net sales increased 8%. Higher concentrate and fountain pricing and higher Aquafina royalties contributed 8 percentage points of growth, and the increased volume, including the launch of Sierra Mist and our new Dole juice product, contributed 2 percentage points.

PepsiCo Beverages International

2001 vs. 2000
