Other Items |
As previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2006, the Company made certain changes to its operating structure primarily to establish a new, separate internal organization for its consolidated and unconsolidated bottling operations. This new structure will result in the reporting of a Bottling Investments operating segment, along with the six existing geographic operating segments and Corporate, beginning with the first quarter of 2006. Prior to this change in the operating structure, the financial results of the consolidated bottling operations and our proportionate share of the earnings of unconsolidated bottling operations were generally included in the geographic operating segments in which they conducted business.
Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto sets forth a schedule of unaudited reclassified operating segment data reflecting the new operating structure.
