70 rewritten, 43 added, 14 removed, 102 unchanged
There may be other risks we are not currently aware of or that we currently deem not to be material but [added: that] may become material in the future.
[removed: Authorities] [added: Numerous measures have been implemented] around the world [removed: have implemented numerous measures] to try to reduce the spread of the virus and [removed: such] [added: these] measures have impacted and continue to impact us, our business partners and consumers.
[removed: [Table](#i5cbfd9b3e6124297bb72c94e2d5e11b6_7) [of](#i5cbfd9b3e6124297bb72c94e2d5e11b6_7) [Contents](#i5cbfd9b3e6124297bb72c94e2d5e11b6_7)][added: [Table of](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7) [Contents](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7)]
We also [added: have seen and could] continue to see shifts in product and channel preferences, [removed: particularly] [added: including] an increase in demand in the e-commerce channel, which has impacted and could continue to impact our sales and profitability.
In addition, we may also continue to experience business disruptions as a result of COVID-19, resulting from temporary closures of our facilities or facilities of our business partners or the inability of a significant portion of our or our business partners’ workforce to work because of illness, [added: absenteeism,] quarantine, [added: vaccine mandates,] or travel or other governmental restrictions.
Any sustained interruption in our or our business partners’ operations, distribution network or supply chain or any significant continuous shortage of raw [removed: materials] [added: materials, packaging] or other [removed: supplies, including personal protective equipment or sanitization products,] [added: supplies] can negatively impact our business.
We have also incurred, and [removed: expect to] [added: could] continue to incur, increased employee and operating costs as a result of COVID-19, such as costs related to expanded benefits and frontline incentives, the provision of personal protective equipment and increased sanitation, allowances for credit losses, upfront payment reserves and inventory write-offs, [added: and cost inflation in commodities, packaging, transportation and other input costs,] which have negatively impacted and may continue to negatively impact our profitability.
The impact of COVID-19 has heightened, or in some cases manifested, certain of the other risks discussed [removed: herein.][added: below.]
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain and will continue to depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and which will vary by jurisdiction and market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, the [added: emergence and spread of new variants of the virus, including the omicron and delta variants, the] development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, [added: the speed at which vaccines are administered, the efficacy of vaccines against the virus and evolving strains or variants of the virus,] global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic, and changes in consumer behavior in response to the pandemic, some of which may be more than just temporary.
Demand for our products depends in part on our ability to [added: innovate and] anticipate and effectively respond to shifts in consumer trends and preferences, including the types of products our consumers want and how they browse for, purchase and consume them.
Consumer preferences continuously evolve due to a variety of factors, including: changes in consumer demographics, consumption patterns and channel preferences (including continued [removed: rapid] increases in the e-commerce and online-to-offline channels); pricing; product quality; concerns or perceptions regarding packaging and its environmental impact (such as single-use and other plastic packaging); and concerns or perceptions regarding the nutrition profile and health effects of, or location of origin of, ingredients or substances in our [removed: products.][added: products or packaging, including due to the results of third-party studies (whether or not scientifically valid).]
[removed: Consumer] preferences are also influenced by perception of our brand image or the brand images of our products, the success of our advertising and marketing campaigns, our ability to engage with our consumers in the manner they prefer, including through the use of digital [removed: media,] [added: media or assets,] and the perception of our use, and the use of social media.
[added: Any inability on our part to anticipate] or react to changes in consumer preferences and trends, or make the right strategic investments to do so, including investments in data analytics to understand consumer trends, can lead to reduced demand for our products, lead to inventory write-offs or erode our competitive and financial position, thereby adversely affecting our business.
In addition, our business [removed: operations] [added: operations, including our supply chain,] are subject to disruption by natural disasters or other events beyond our control that could negatively impact product availability and decrease demand for our products if our crisis management plans do not effectively resolve these issues.
Our reputation or brand image has in the past been, and could in the future be, adversely impacted by a variety of factors, including: any failure by us or our business partners to maintain high ethical, [removed: social,] business and [removed: environmental] [added: environmental, social and governance] practices, including with respect to human rights, child labor [removed: laws] [added: laws, diversity, equity] and [added: inclusion,] workplace conditions and employee health and safety; any failure to achieve our [removed: sustainability] [added: environmental, social and governance] goals, including with respect to the nutrition profile of our products, [added: diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,] packaging, water use and our impact on the environment; any failure to address health concerns about our [added: products,] products [added: we distribute,] or particular ingredients in our products, including concerns regarding whether certain of our products contribute to [removed: obesity;] [added: obesity or an increase in public health costs;] our research and development efforts; any product quality or safety issues, including the recall of any of our products; any failure to comply with laws and regulations; consumer perception of our advertising campaigns, sponsorship arrangements, marketing [removed: programs and] [added: programs,] use of social [removed: media;] [added: media and our response to political and social issues] or [added: catastrophic events; or] any failure to effectively respond to negative or inaccurate comments about us on social media or otherwise regarding any of the foregoing.
[removed: Issues] [added: Product recalls] or [added: other issues or] concerns with respect to product quality and safety can adversely affect our business.
[removed: Product] [added: In addition, product] quality or safety issues, [removed: including alleged mislabeling, misbranding, spoilage, undeclared allergens, adulteration or contamination,] whether as a result of failure to comply with food safety laws or otherwise, have in the past and could in the future [added: also] reduce consumer confidence and demand for our products, cause production and delivery disruptions, [removed: require product recalls] and result in increased costs (including payment of fines and/or judgments) and damage our reputation, [added: particularly as we expand into new categories, such as nuts and meat convenient foods globally and the distribution of alcoholic beverages in the United States,] all of which can adversely affect our business.
Our products compete against products of international [removed: beverage, food] [added: beverage] and [removed: snack] [added: convenient food] companies that, like us, operate in multiple geographies, as well as regional, local and private label and economy brand manufacturers and other competitors, including smaller companies developing and selling micro brands directly to consumers through e-commerce platforms or through retailers focused on locally sourced products.
Our business can be adversely affected if we are unable to effectively promote or develop our existing products or introduce [added: and effectively market] new products, if [added: we are unable to effectively adopt new technologies, including artificial intelligence and data analytics to develop new commercial insights and improve operating efficiencies, if we are unable to continuously strengthen and evolve] our [added: capabilities in digital marketing, if our] competitors spend more aggressively than we do or if we are otherwise unable to effectively respond to [added: supply disruptions,] pricing pressure [added: (including as a result of commodity inflation)] or [added: otherwise] compete effectively, and we may be unable to grow or maintain sales or category share or we may need to increase capital, marketing or other expenditures.
Any unplanned [removed: turnover] [added: turnover, sustained labor shortage] or unsuccessful implementation of our succession plans to backfill current leadership positions, including the Chief Executive Officer, or failure to attract, develop and maintain a highly skilled and diverse workforce, including with key capabilities such as e-commerce and digital marketing and data analytic skills, can deplete our institutional knowledge base, erode our competitive advantage or result in increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.
Lack of available water of acceptable quality, increasing focus by governmental and non-governmental organizations, investors, customers and consumers on water scarcity and increasing pressure to conserve and replenish water in areas of scarcity and [removed: stress] [added: stress, including due to the effects of climate change,] may lead to: supply chain disruption; adverse effects on our operations or the operations of our business partners; higher compliance costs; capital expenditures (including investments in the development of technologies to enhance water efficiency and reduce consumption); higher production costs, including less favorable pricing for water; the interruption or cessation of operations at, or relocation of, our facilities or the facilities of our business partners; failure to achieve our [removed: sustainability] goals relating to water use; perception of our failure to act responsibly with respect to water use or to effectively respond to legal or regulatory requirements concerning water scarcity; or damage to our reputation, any of which can adversely affect our business.
The retail landscape continues to evolve, including [removed: rapid] [added: continued] growth in e-commerce channels and hard discounters.
Our business can be adversely affected if e-commerce channels and hard discounters take significant additional market share away from traditional retailers or we fail to find ways to create [removed: more powerful] [added: increasingly better] digital tools and capabilities for our retail customers to enable them to grow their businesses.
Some raw materials and supplies, including packaging [removed: materials such as recycled PET,] [added: materials,] are available only from a limited number of suppliers or from a sole supplier or are in short supply when seasonal demand is at its peak.
The raw materials and other supplies, including agricultural [removed: commodities] [added: commodities, fuel] and [removed: fuel,] [added: packaging materials, such as recycled PET, transportation, labor and other supply chain inputs] that we use for the manufacturing, production and distribution of our products are subject to price volatility and fluctuations in availability caused by many factors, including changes in supply and demand, [added: supplier capacity constraints, inflation,] weather conditions (including potential effects of climate change), fire, natural disasters, disease or pests (including the impact of greening disease on the citrus industry), agricultural uncertainty, health epidemics or pandemics or other contagious [removed: outbreaks,] [added: outbreaks (including COVID-19), labor shortages (including the lack of availability of truck drivers or as a result of COVID-19), strikes or work stoppages,] governmental incentives and controls (including import/export restrictions, such as new or increased tariffs, sanctions, quotas or trade barriers), [added: port congestions or delays, transport capacity constraints, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites,] political uncertainties, acts of terrorism, governmental instability or currency exchange rates.
Many of our raw materials and supplies are purchased in the open [removed: market.][added: market and the prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation.]
[removed: If price changes result in unexpected or significant increases in the costs of any raw materials or other supplies, we may] be unwilling or unable to increase our product prices or unable to effectively hedge against price increases to offset these increased costs without suffering reduced volume, revenue, margins and operating results.
The results of elections, referendums or other political conditions (including government [removed: shutdowns)] [added: shutdowns or hostilities between countries)] in these [removed: markets, including the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union,] [added: markets] have in the past and could continue to impact how existing laws, regulations and government programs or policies are implemented or result in uncertainty as to how such laws, regulations, programs or policies may change, including with respect to tariffs, sanctions, environmental and climate change regulations, taxes, benefit programs, the movement of goods, services and people between countries, relationships between countries, customer or consumer perception of a particular country or its government and other matters, and has resulted in and could continue to result in exchange rate fluctuation, volatility in global stock markets and global economic uncertainty or adversely affect demand for our products, any of which can adversely affect our business.
Our success depends in part on our ability to grow our business in developing and emerging markets, including Mexico, Russia, the Middle East, [removed: Brazil,] China, South [removed: Africa] [added: Africa, Brazil] and India.
[added: Our business in these markets has been and could continue in the future to be impacted by economic, political and social conditions; acts of war, terrorist acts, and civil unrest, including demonstrations and protests; competition; tariffs, sanctions or other regulations restricting contact with] certain countries in these markets; foreign ownership restrictions; nationalization of our assets or the assets of our business partners; government-mandated closure, or threatened closure, of our operations or the operations of our business partners; restrictions on the import or export of our products or ingredients or substances used in our products; highly inflationary economies; devaluation or fluctuation or demonetization of currency; regulations on the transfer of funds to and from foreign countries, currency controls or other currency exchange restrictions, which result in significant cash balances in foreign countries, from time to time, or can significantly affect our ability to effectively manage our operations in certain of these markets and can result in the deconsolidation of such businesses; the lack of well-established or reliable legal systems; increased costs of doing business due to compliance with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act; and adverse consequences, such as the assessment of fines or penalties, for any failure to comply with laws and regulations.
[removed: Many of the jurisdictions in] which [removed: our products are sold] have [removed: experienced] and could continue to [removed: experience uncertain or unfavorable economic conditions, such as recessions or economic slowdowns, which have and could continue to] result in adverse changes in interest rates, tax laws or tax rates; [added: inflation;] volatile commodity markets; [added: labor shortages;] highly inflationary economies, devaluation, fluctuation or [removed: demonetization;] [added: demonetization of currency;] contraction in the availability of credit; [removed: demonetization,] austerity or stimulus measures; the effects of any default by or deterioration in the creditworthiness of the countries in which our products are sold; or a decrease in the fair value of pension or post-retirement assets that could increase future employee benefit costs and/or funding requirements of our pension or post-retirement plans.
We depend on information systems and technology, including public websites and cloud-based services, for many activities important to our business, including communications within our company, interfacing with customers and consumers; ordering and managing inventory; managing and operating our facilities; protecting confidential [removed: information;] [added: information, including personal data we collect;] maintaining accurate financial records and complying with regulatory, financial reporting, legal and tax requirements.
Cyberattacks and other cyber incidents are occurring more frequently, [added: the techniques used to gain access to information technology systems and data, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems] are constantly evolving [removed: in nature, are] [added: and] becoming more sophisticated [added: in nature] and are being carried out by groups and individuals with a wide range of expertise and motives.
Cyberattacks and cyber incidents [added: may be difficult to detect for periods of time and] take many forms including cyber extortion, denial of service, social engineering, introduction of viruses or [removed: malware,] [added: malware (such as ransomware),] exploiting vulnerabilities in hardware, software or other infrastructure, hacking, website defacement or theft of passwords and other credentials, unauthorized use of computing resources for digital currency mining and business email compromise.
As with other global companies, we are regularly subject to cyberattacks and other cyber incidents, including [removed: many of] the types of attacks and incidents described above.
[removed: If] [added: In addition, if] we do not [added: continue to] allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to [removed: continue to] build and [removed: maintain our] [added: sustain the proper] information technology infrastructure, or if [added: we fail to achieve the expected benefits from this initiative, our business could be adversely affected.]
Similar risks exist with respect to third-party providers, including [added: suppliers, software and] cloud-based service providers, that we rely upon for aspects of our information technology support services and administrative functions, including payroll processing, health and benefit plan administration and certain finance and accounting functions, and the systems managed, hosted, provided and/or used by such third parties and their vendors.
[removed: As a result, we are subject to] the [removed: risk that the] activities associated with our third-party service providers can adversely affect our business even if the attack or breach does not directly impact our systems or information.
While we devote significant resources to network security, disaster recovery, employee training and other [removed: security] measures to [removed: protect] [added: secure] our [added: information technology] systems and [added: prevent unauthorized access to or loss of] data, there are no [removed: assurances] [added: guarantees] that [removed: such measures] [added: they] will [removed: protect us] [added: be adequate to safeguard] against all cyber [removed: incidents or] [added: incidents,] systems [removed: disruptions.][added: disruptions, system compromises or misuses of data.]
The success of these [removed: transactions] [added: transactions, including the recent completion of the Juice Transaction,] is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to realize the full extent of the expected returns, benefits, cost savings or synergies as a result of a transaction, within the anticipated time frame, or at all; [added: and] receipt of necessary consents, clearances and [removed: approvals; and diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations.][added: approvals.]
In addition, we and our business partners may also continue to see adverse impacts to our supply chain as a result of COVID-19 through raw material, packaging or other supply shortages, labor shortages or reduced availability of air or other commercial transport, port congestion and closures or border restrictions, any of which can impact our business.

We have and could in the future recall products due to product quality or safety issues, including actual or alleged mislabeling, misbranding, spoilage, undeclared allergens, adulteration or contamination.
Product recalls have in the past and could in the future adversely affect our business by resulting in losses due to their cost, the destruction of product inventory or lost sales due to any unavailability of the product for a period of time.

Disruption of our manufacturing operations or supply chain, including increased commodity, packaging, transportation, labor and other input costs, can adversely affect our business.
We have experienced and could continue to experience disruption in our manufacturing operations and supply chain.
Any sustained or significant disruption to the manufacturing or sourcing of products or materials could increase our costs and interrupt product supply, which can adversely impact our business.
We experienced higher than anticipated commodity, packaging and transportation costs during 2021, which may continue.
When input prices increase unexpectedly or significantly, we may

Many of the jurisdictions in which our products are sold have experienced and could continue to experience uncertain or unfavorable economic conditions, such as recessions or economic slowdowns,
[Table of](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7) [Contents](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7)
If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to continue building and maintaining our information technology infrastructure, or if we fail to timely identify or appropriately respond to cyberattacks or other cyber incidents, our business has been and can continue to be adversely affected, which has resulted in and can continue to result in some or all of the following: transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, inability to access our data or systems, lost revenues or other costs resulting from disruptions or shutdowns of offices, plants, warehouses, distribution centers or other facilities, intellectual property or other data loss, litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations, fines or penalties, remediation costs, damage to our reputation or a negative impact on employee morale and the loss of current or potential customers.
For example, malicious actors have employed and could continue to employ the information technology supply chain to introduce malware through software updates or compromised supplier accounts or hardware.
As a result, we are subject to the risk that
[Table of](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7) [Contents](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7)

damage to our reputation or have a negative impact on employee morale, all of which can adversely affect our business.
We have experienced and could continue to experience systems outages and operating inefficiencies following these planned implementations.
Also, there is an increased focus in many jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold regarding environmental policies relating to climate change, regulating greenhouse gas emissions, energy policies and sustainability, including single-use plastics.
[Table of](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7) [Contents](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7)
employee attrition, an inability to attract or retain key personnel and negative publicity.
For example, certain provinces in Canada enacted a flat tax on all sugar-sweetened beverages, effective
[Table of](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7) [Contents](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7)
September 1, 2022, at a rate of 0.20 Canadian dollars (0.16 U.S. dollars) per liter.
For example, Argentina and Colombia enacted warning labeling requirements in 2021 to indicate whether a particular pre-packaged food or beverage product is considered to be high in sugar, sodium or saturated fat.
We rely on diverse packaging solutions to safely deliver products to our customers and consumers.
Our efforts to comply with these laws and
[Table of](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7) [Contents](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7)
For example, numerous countries have recently agreed to a statement in support of a global minimum tax rate of 15% as well as global profit reallocation.
There can be no assurance that these changes will be adopted by individual countries, or that once adopted by individual countries, that they will not have adverse effects on our financial performance.
Also, in the course of developing new products or improving the quality of existing products, we have in the past infringed or been alleged to have infringed, and could in the future infringe or be alleged to infringe, on the intellectual property rights of others.
Such infringement or allegations of infringement could result in expensive litigation and damages, damage to our reputation, disruption to our operations, injunctions against development, manufacturing, use and/or sale of certain products, inventory write-offs or other limitations on our ability to introduce new products or improve the quality of existing products, resulting in an adverse effect on our business.
[Table of](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7) [Contents](#i92ddc1325ca4423e9e7813adbb5a639f_7)
contains genetically engineered ingredients), quality, safety, transportation, traceability, sourcing (including pesticide use), packaging, disposal, recycling and use of our products or raw materials, employment and occupational health and safety, environmental, social and governance matters (including climate change) and data privacy and protection.
For example, increasing governmental and societal attention to environmental, social and governance matters has resulted and could continue to result in new laws or regulatory requirements.
COVID-19 Risks
While some of these measures have been lifted or eased in certain jurisdictions, other jurisdictions have seen a resurgence of COVID-19 cases resulting in reinstitution or expansion of such measures.
Any inability on our part to anticipate
Disruption of our supply chain may adversely affect our business.
The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation.
Our business in these markets has been and could continue in the future to be impacted by economic, political and social conditions; acts of war, terrorist acts, and civil unrest, including demonstrations and protests; competition; tariffs, sanctions or other regulations restricting contact with
we fail to timely identify or appropriately respond to cyberattacks or other cyber incidents, our business can be adversely affected, resulting in transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, data loss, legal claims or proceedings, regulatory penalties, and the loss of sales and customers.
continue to result in our inability to achieve the expected cost savings or efficiencies and result in additional costs to correct errors made by such service providers.
If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build and sustain the proper information technology infrastructure, or if we fail to achieve the expected benefits from this initiative, our business could be adversely affected.
result of these initiatives, we may not realize all or any of the anticipated benefits, resulting in adverse effects on our financial performance.
For example, Poland enacted a graduated tax on all sweetened beverages, effective January 1, 2021, at a rate of PLN 0.5 (USD 0.12) per liter for drinks with a sugar (or other sweetener) content of up to 5g per 100ml and an additional PLN 0.05 (USD 0.01) for each gram of sugar (or other sweetener) over 5g.
of our products, reduce overall consumption of our products or lead to negative publicity, resulting in an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.
For example, Mexico has imposed a stop-sign labeling scheme to signal the presence of non-caloric sweeteners and caffeine in pre-packaged foods and non-alcoholic beverages.
Also, if, in the course of developing new products or improving the quality of existing products, we are found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, directly or indirectly, such finding can damage our reputation and limit our ability to introduce new products or improve the quality of existing products, resulting in an adverse effect on our business.

To meet the challenges of today – and those of tomorrow – we are driven by an approach called PepsiCo Positive (pep+).
pep+ is a strategic end-to-end transformation of our business, with sustainability at the center of how the company will strive to create growth and value by operating within planetary boundaries and inspiring positive change for the planet and people.
pep+ will guide how we will work to transform our business operations, from sourcing ingredients and making and selling products in a more sustainable way, to leveraging our more than one billion connections with consumers each day to take sustainability mainstream and engage people to make choices that are better for themselves and the planet.
pep+ drives action and progress across three key pillars, bringing together a number of industry-leading 2030 sustainability goals under a comprehensive framework:
- Positive Agriculture: We are working to spread regenerative practices to restore the Earth across land equal to the company's entire agricultural footprint (approximately 7 million acres), sustainably source key crops and ingredients, and improve the livelihoods of more people in our agricultural supply chain.
- Positive Value Chain: We are working to build a circular and inclusive value chain through actions to: achieve net-zero emissions by 2040; become net water positive by 2030; and introduce more sustainable packaging into the value chain.
Our packaging goals include cutting virgin plastic per serving, using recycled content in our plastic packaging, and scaling our SodaStream business globally, an innovative platform that almost entirely eliminates the need for beverage packaging, among other levers.
Additionally, we are making progress on our diversity, equity and inclusion journey.
And we have introduced a new global workforce volunteering program, One Smile at a
Time, to encourage, support and empower each one of our approximately 309,000 employees to make positive impacts in their local communities.
- Positive Choices: We continue working to evolve our portfolio of beverage and convenient food products so that they are better for the planet and people, including by incorporating more diverse ingredients in both new and existing food products that are better for the planet and/or deliver nutritional benefits, prioritizing chickpeas, plant-based proteins and whole grains; expanding our position in the nuts & seeds category, where PepsiCo is already the global branded leader, including leadership positions in Mexico, China and several Western European markets; and accelerating our reduction of added sugars and sodium through the use of science-based targets across our portfolio and cooking our food offerings with healthier oils.
We are also continuing to scale new business models that require little or no single-use packaging, including SodaStream – an icon of a Positive Choice and the largest sparkling water brand in the world by volume.
SodaStream, already sold in more than 40 countries, and its new SodaStream Professional platform is expected to expand into functional beverages and reach additional markets by the end of 2022, part of the brand's effort to help consumers avoid plastic bottles.

Risks Associated with Commodities and Our Supply Chain
Many of the commodities used in the production and transportation of our products are purchased in the open market.
The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation, and we manage this risk through the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivative instruments, including swaps and futures.
During 2021, we experienced higher than anticipated transportation and commodity costs, which we expect to continue in 2022.
A number of external factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, adverse weather conditions, supply chain disruptions (including raw material shortages) and labor shortages, have impacted and may continue to impact transportation and commodity availability and costs.
When prices increase, we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers without suffering reduced volume, revenue, margins and operating results.
Risks Associated with Climate Change
Certain jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased legal and regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the potential effects of climate change, including regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and potential carbon pricing programs.
These new or increased legal or regulatory requirements could result in significant increased costs of compliance and additional investments in facilities and equipment.
However, we are unable to predict the scope, nature and timing of any new or increased environmental laws and regulations and therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact of such laws and regulations on our business or financial results.
We continue to monitor existing and proposed laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact, if any, of such laws or regulations.

encourage waste reduction and increased recycling rates or facilitate the waste management process or restrict the sale of products in certain packaging.

Beverage volume also includes volume of finished products bearing company-owned or licensed trademarks sold by our noncontrolled affiliates.
| Operating margin | | | 14.0 | | % | | | | 14.3 | | % | | | | (0.3) | | |
The operating margin decline primarily reflects higher commodity costs.
Additionally, lower acquisition and divestiture-related charges included in “Items Affecting Comparability” contributed 3 percentage points to operating profit growth.
Juice Transaction
In the first quarter of 2022, we sold our Tropicana, Naked and other select juice brands to PAI Partners, while retaining a 39% noncontrolling interest in a newly formed joint venture that will operate across North America and Europe.

Everything we do is driven by an approach we call Winning with Purpose.
Winning with Purpose is our guide for achieving accelerated, sustainable growth that includes our mission, to Create More Smiles with Every Sip and Every Bite; our vision, to Be the Global Leader in Convenient Foods and Beverages by Winning with Purpose; and The PepsiCo Way, seven behaviors that define our shared culture.
This approach proved prescient and powerful in 2020 as we faced a worsening climate crisis, renewed calls for racial equality, and the first global pandemic in a century.
Life in communities around the world was transformed, and our business was tested like never before.
First and foremost, we had to protect the health of our associates, so that we could continue to serve our consumers, customers and communities.
At the same time, we had to secure our supply chain; ensure continuity in manufacturing, distribution and sales; further strengthen our e-commerce and digital capabilities; reimagine our marketing; deliver positive outcomes for people, our shareholders and the planet; and much more.
To meet this once in a generation moment and ensure our Company’s long-term success, we will continue to focus on becoming Faster, Stronger, and Better:
- We will become Faster by sustaining or improving growth and market share in our high return foods and snacks businesses in North America; improving the profitability of our PBNA business and capturing our fair share of category growth; accelerating our growth and presence in international snacks and food while investing wisely in beverages to balance between growth and returns; and making the necessary investments in our manufacturing capacity, go-to-market systems and digital initiatives, such as improving our presence and scale in our e-commerce business.
- We will become Stronger by renewing our focus on driving holistic cost management throughout our organization to support our investments in advantaged capabilities, such as a highly agile and flexible end-to-end value chain; more precision around revenue management; and investing in data analytics that can provide more granularity around consumer insights.
We also plan to continue investing to further expand global business services into new capabilities, which will enable better insight and support for our businesses at a lower cost.
And we will remain focused on diversifying our workforce and reinforcing The PepsiCo Way, where we emphasize that employees act like owners to get things done quickly.
- We will become Better by further integrating purpose into our business strategy and brands by becoming planet positive, strengthening our roots in our communities, and advancing social justice.
This includes supporting practices and technologies that improve farmer livelihoods and agricultural resiliency; using precious resources such as water more efficiently; accelerating our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout our value chain; driving progress toward a world where plastics need never become waste; advancing respect for human rights; and investing to promote shared prosperity in local communities where we live and work.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States.
The CARES Act and related notices include several significant provisions, such as delaying certain payroll tax payments, mandatory transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJ Act) and estimated income tax payments.
The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our financial results in 2020, including on our annual estimated effective tax rate or on our liquidity.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the TCJ Act was enacted in the United States.
The related provisional measurement period allowed by the SEC ended in the fourth quarter of 2018.
While our accounting for the recorded impact of the TCJ Act was deemed to be complete, additional guidance issued by the IRS impacted our recorded amounts after December 29, 2018.
Other Tax Matters
The enactment of certain provisions of the TRAF resulted in adjustments to our deferred taxes.
During 2020, we recorded a net tax benefit of $72 million related to the adoption of the TRAF in the Swiss Canton of Bern.

We also continue to monitor the economic and political developments related to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit), including the effects of the post-Brexit trade deal entered into between the United Kingdom and the European Union in December 2020, as well as the economic, operating and political environment in Russia and the potential impact for the Europe segment and our other businesses.
We believe volume provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of

Additionally, higher inventory fair value adjustments and merger and integration charges included in “Items Affecting Comparability” and unfavorable foreign exchange each negatively impacted operating profit performance by 2 percentage points.
(b)Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.

COVID-19
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 resulted in challenging operating environments and affected almost all of the more than 200 countries and territories in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold, including as a result of travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, curfews, restrictions on public gatherings, shelter in place and safer-at-home orders, business shutdowns
and closures.
We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business operations, including our employees, customers, consumers, bottlers, contract manufacturers, distributors, joint venture partners, suppliers and other third parties with which we do business.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our future business operations and financial results remains uncertain and will continue to depend on numerous evolving factors outside our control.

[removed: In connection with these implementations] [added: multi-year productivity plan] and resulting business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting [removed: processes] [added: processes,] to maintain effective controls over our financial reporting.
These [removed: transitions] [added: business process changes] have not materially affected, and we do not expect them to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with these ERP implementations, we are updating and will continue to update our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021 and continuing into the first quarter of 2022, we began implementing these systems, resulting in changes that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
These system implementations did not have an adverse effect, nor do we expect will have an adverse effect, on our internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with this
We will continue to assess the impact on our internal control over financial reporting as we continue to implement our ERP solution and our 2019 multi-year productivity plan.
As permitted by SEC guidance, the scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 26, 2020 excluded Pioneer Foods and Be & Cheery, both acquired in 2020.
