Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
and its majority owned subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information
and footnotes required by GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent
with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 3, 2010 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Seasonality of Business
Historically, operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year have not been
representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results primarily from
higher unit sales of the Companys products in the second and third quarters versus the first and
fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are not
significantly impacted by business seasonality.
3. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership
On July 2, 1993, the Company and The Coca-Cola Company formed Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling
Partnership (Piedmont) to distribute and market nonalcoholic beverages primarily in portions of
North Carolina and South Carolina. The Company provides a portion of the nonalcoholic
beverage products to Piedmont at cost and receives a fee for managing the operations of
Piedmont pursuant to a management agreement. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements.

10. Debt
On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility ($200 million
facility), replacing its $100 million facility. The $200 million facility matures in March 2012
and includes an option to extend the term for an additional year at the discretion of the
participating banks. The $200 million facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a
floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .35%, dependent on the length of the term
of the interest period. In addition, the Company must pay an annual facility fee of .10% of the
lenders aggregate commitments under the facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility
fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Companys long-term senior
unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a fixed
charges coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit
agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the Company to maintain a consolidated cash
flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the
Company to maintain a debt to cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or lower. The Company is currently in
compliance with these covenants. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not
anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On July 1, 2009, the Company
borrowed $55.0 million under the $200 million facility and used the proceeds, along with $2.4
million of cash on hand, to repay at maturity the Companys $57.4 million outstanding 7.20%
Debentures due in July 2009. On April 4, 2010 and January 3, 2010, the Company had $30 million
and $15 million of outstanding borrowings, respectively, on the $200 million facility. On March
29, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility.
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit.
Under this agreement, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days,
30 days, 60 days or 90 days. On April 4, 2010, the Company had $20 million outstanding on the
uncommitted line of credit.
After taking into account all of its interest rate hedging activities, the Company had a weighted
average interest rate of 5.4%, 5.6% and 5.6% for its debt and capital lease obligations as of April
4, 2010, January 3, 2010 and March 29, 2009, respectively. The Companys overall weighted average
interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 5.7% for Q1 2010 compared to 5.6% for
Q1 2009. As of April 4, 2010, approximately 12.4% of the Companys debt and capital lease
obligations of $635.1 million was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
The Companys public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of
certain liens and encumbrances as well as the incurrence of indebtedness by the Companys
subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.
All of the outstanding long-term debt has been issued by the Company with none being issued by any
of the Companys subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Companys debt.
In April 2009, the Company issued $110 million of unsecured 7% Senior Notes due in 2019. The
proceeds plus cash on hand were used to repay the $119.3 million debt maturity on May 1, 2009.
The current portion of debt at March 29, 2009 reflected the $176.7 million of debt maturing in May
and July of 2009 less the $110 million of debt which was repaid from the proceeds of the 7% Senior
Notes.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest
The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to modify risk from interest rate
fluctuations. The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon
anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Companys debt level and the potential
impact of changes in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity
analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of
various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments.
On September 18, 2008, the Company terminated six outstanding interest rate swap agreements with a
notional amount of $225 million receiving $6.2 million in cash proceeds including $1.1 million for
previously accrued interest receivable. After accounting for previously accrued interest
receivable, the Company is amortizing the gain of $5.1 million over the remaining term of the
underlying debt. During Q1 2010 and Q1 2009, $.2 million and $.4 million of the gain,
respectively, was amortized. The remaining amount to be amortized is $3.2 million. All of the
Companys interest rate swap agreements were LIBOR-based.
The Company had no interest rate swap agreements outstanding at April 4, 2010, January 3, 2010 and
March 29, 2009.
Commodities
The Company is subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices. In
the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies,
including the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments for
trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either
assets or liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments
are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as economic hedges to manage
commodity risk. Currently the Company has derivative instruments to hedge some or all of its
projected diesel fuel and aluminum purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are marked
to market on a monthly basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification
of the underlying hedged item. Settlements of derivative agreements are included in cash flows
from operating activities on the Companys consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company uses several different financial institutions for
commodity derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the
Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the
Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these parties. The Company has master agreements
with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of
derivative transactions.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company used derivative instruments to hedge essentially all of its diesel fuel purchases for
2009 and is using derivative instruments to hedge essentially all of its diesel fuel purchases for
2010. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel used by the Companys delivery fleet.
At the end of Q1 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75%
of the projected 2010 aluminum purchase requirements. During the second quarter of
2009, the Company entered into derivative agreements to hedge approximately 75% of the
projected 2011 aluminum purchase requirements.
The following summarizes Q1 2010 and Q1 2009 net gains and losses on the Companys fuel and

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of
its financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts
payable approximate carrying values due to the short maturity of these items.
Public Debt Securities
The fair values of the Companys public debt securities are based on estimated current market
prices.
Non-Public Variable Rate Debt
The carrying amounts of the Companys variable rate borrowings approximate their fair values.
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets/Liabilities
The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, which are held in mutual
funds, are based upon the quoted market value of the securities held within the mutual funds.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values for the Companys fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements are based on
current settlement values. The fair values of the fuel and aluminum hedging agreements at each
balance sheet date represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received or paid upon
termination of these agreements. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is
managed by requiring high standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company
considers nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments.
Letters of Credit
The fair values of the Companys letters of credit obtained from financial institutions are based
on the notional amounts of the instruments. These letters of credit primarily relate to the
Companys property and casualty insurance programs.

would have paid upon termination of these agreements.
The fair values of the aluminum hedging agreements at April 4, 2010, January 3, 2010 and March 29,
2009 represented the estimated amount the Company would have received upon termination of these
agreements.
GAAP requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one
of the following categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market
data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other
highly compensated employees. The investment assets are held in mutual funds. The fair value of
the mutual funds is based on the quoted market value of the securities held within the funds (Level
1). The related deferred compensation liability represents the fair value of the investment
assets.
The Companys fuel hedging agreements are based upon NYMEX rates that are observable and quoted
periodically over the full term of the agreement and are considered Level 2 items.
The Companys aluminum hedging agreements are based upon LME rates that are observable and quoted
periodically over the full term of the agreement and are considered Level 2 items.
The
Company does not have Level 3 assets or liabilities. Also, there were
no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 for any of the periods presented.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a member of South Atlantic Canners, Inc. (SAC), a manufacturing cooperative from
which it is obligated to purchase 17.5 million cases of finished product on an annual basis
through May 2014. The Company is also a member of Southeastern Container (Southeastern), a
plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative from which it is obligated to purchase at least 80% of
its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories. See Note 19 to the
consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning SAC and Southeastern.
The Company guarantees a portion of SACs and Southeasterns debt and lease obligations. The
amounts guaranteed were $39.0 million, $30.5 million and $40.3 million as of April 4, 2010,
January 3, 2010 and March 29, 2009, respectively. The Company has not recorded any liability
associated with these guarantees and holds no assets as collateral against these guarantees. The
guarantees relate to the debt and lease obligations of SAC and Southeastern, which resulted
primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities. These guarantees expire at
various dates through 2021. The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca-Cola
bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill their
commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient assets,
including production equipment,
facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust selling prices of their products which
adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Companys
guarantees. In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt
and lease obligations, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the
level of the guarantees. If these cooperatives had borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, the
Companys maximum exposure under these guarantees on April 4, 2010 would have been $25.2 million
for SAC and $25.3 million for Southeastern and the Companys maximum total exposure, including its
equity investment, would have been $30.8 million for SAC and $41.0 million for Southeastern.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has been purchasing plastic bottles from Southeastern and finished products from SAC
for more than ten years and has never had to pay against these guarantees.
The Company has an equity ownership in each of the entities in addition to the guarantees of
certain indebtedness and records its investment in each under the equity method. As of April 4,
2010, SAC had total assets of approximately $42 million and total debt of approximately $21
million. SAC had total revenues for Q1 2010 of approximately $40 million. As of April 4, 2010,
Southeastern had total assets of approximately $377 million and total debt of approximately $218
million. Southeastern had total revenue for Q1 2010 of approximately $136 million.
The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty
insurance programs. On April 4, 2010, these letters of credit totaled $30.7 million. The Company
has been required to maintain $4.5 million of restricted cash for letters of credit since the
second quarter of 2009.
The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige
properties, athletic venues and other locations. The future payments related to these contractual
arrangements as of April 4, 2010 amounted to $20.2 million and expire at various dates through
2018.
The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary
course of its business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims
and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the
Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably
possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings.
The Company is subject to audit by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business.
These audits may result in assessments that are subsequently resolved with the tax authorities or
potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any
assessments that are likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could
be different than the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

15. Income Taxes
The Companys effective income tax rate for Q1 2010 and Q1 2009 was 44.4% and 26.4%, respectively.
The increase in the effective tax rate for Q1 2010 resulted primarily from the elimination of the
tax deduction associated with Medicare Part D subsidy as required by the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act enacted on March 23, 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act
enacted on March 30, 2010.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the income tax expense at the statutory federal
rate to actual income tax expense.

The Company had $5.7 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $3.6
million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized as of April 4, 2010. The
Company had $5.6 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $3.5
million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized as of January 3, 2010. It is
expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months; however, the
Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in
income tax expense. As of April 4, 2010, the Company had approximately $1.0 million of accrued
interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of January 3, 2010, the Company had approximately
$.9 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense included
interest expense of approximately $.1 million in Q1 2010 and an interest credit of approximately
$.7 million in Q1 2009.
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)
was signed into law. On March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(Reconciliation Act), was also signed into law. The PPACA and the Reconciliation Act included provisions that will reduce the tax benefits available
to employers that receive Medicare Part D subsidies. As a result, during Q1 2010, the Company recorded tax expense totaling $.5 million
related to changes made to the tax deductibility of Medicare Part D subsidies.
In Q1 2009, the Company reached an agreement with a state taxing authority to settle prior tax
positions for which the Company had previously provided reserves due to uncertainty of resolution.
As a result, the Company reduced the liability for uncertain tax positions by $1.7 million. The
net effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense in Q1 2009 of approximately $1.7
million.
Various tax years from 1991 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company
is subject due to loss carryforwards.

17. Capital Transactions
The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding, Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
The Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Marketsm under the symbol COKE.
There is no established public trading market for the Class B Common Stock. Shares of the Class B
Common Stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of Common Stock at any time at
the option of the holders of Class B Common Stock.

Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
17. Capital Transactions
No cash dividend or dividend of property or stock other than stock of the Company, as specifically
described in the Companys certificate of incorporation, may be declared and paid on the Class B
Common Stock unless an equal or greater dividend is declared and paid on the Common Stock. During
Q1 2010 and Q1 2009, dividends of $.25 per share were declared and paid on both Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common
Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share at all meetings of stockholders. Except as otherwise
required by law, holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single
class on all matters brought before the Companys stockholders. In the event of liquidation,
there is no preference between the two classes of common stock.
On May 12, 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved a restricted stock award program for J. Frank
Harrison, III, the Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer,
consisting of 200,000 shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock. Under the award, shares of
restricted stock were granted at a rate of 20,000 shares per year over a ten-year period. The
vesting of each annual installment was contingent upon the Company achieving at least 80% of the
overall goal achievement factor in the Companys Annual Bonus Plan. The restricted stock award did
not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in dividend or voting rights until each installment
had vested and the shares were issued. The restricted stock award expired at the end of fiscal
year 2008. On March 4, 2009, the Compensation Committee determined an additional 20,000 shares of
restricted Class B Common Stock vested and such shares were issued to Mr. Harrison, III for the
fiscal year ended December 28, 2008.
On April 29, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for
Mr. Harrison, III consisting of 400,000 performance units (Units). Each Unit represents the
right to receive one share of the Companys Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and
conditions. The Units vest in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year
2009. The number of Units that vest each year will equal the product of 40,000 multiplied by the
overall goal achievement factor (not to exceed 100%) under the Companys Annual Bonus Plan. The
Performance Unit Award Agreement replaced the restricted stock award
program.
Each annual 40,000 Unit tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not
established until the Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved each year by the Companys
Board of Directors. As a result, each 40,000 Unit tranche is considered to have its own service
inception date, grant-date and requisite service period. The Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets,
which establish the performance requirements for the Performance Unit Award Agreement, are
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each
year. The Performance Unit Award Agreement does not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in
dividends or voting rights until each installment has vested and the shares are issued. Mr.
Harrison, III may satisfy tax withholding requirements in whole or in part by requiring the
Company to settle in cash such number of Units otherwise payable in Class B Common Stock to meet
the maximum statutory tax withholding requirements.

17. Capital Transactions
On March 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee determined that 40,000 Units vested for the fiscal
year ended January 3, 2010. Of such Units, 22,320 were settled for 22,320 shares of Class B
Common Stock and 17,680 were settled in cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection
with the vesting of the Units.
Compensation expense for the Performance Unit Award Agreement recognized in Q1 2010 was $.6
million, which was based upon a share price of $58.45 on April 1, 2010. Compensation expense
recognized in Q1 2009 was $.5 million, which was based upon a share price of $51.68 on March 27,
2009.
On February 19, 2009, The Coca-Cola Company converted 497,670 shares of the Companys Class B
Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of the Companys Common Stock.
The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in Q1 2010 was due to the issuance of the
22,320 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the Performance Unit Award Agreement. The
increase in the total number of shares outstanding in Q1 2009 was due to the issuance of 20,000
shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award.
18. Benefit Plans
Pension Plans
Retirement benefits under the two Company-sponsored pension plans are based on the employees
length of service, average compensation over the five consecutive years that give the highest
average compensation and average Social Security taxable wage base during the 35-year period
before reaching Social Security retirement age. Contributions to the plans are based on the
projected unit credit actuarial funding method and are limited to the amounts currently deductible
for income tax purposes. On February 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an
amendment to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan to cease further benefit accruals under
the plan effective June 30, 2006.

401(k) Savings Plan
The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of its employees who are not part
of collective bargaining agreements. The Company suspended matching contributions to its 401(k)
Savings Plan effective April 1, 2009. The Company maintained the option to match its employees
401(k) Savings Plan contributions based on the financial results for 2009. The Company
subsequently decided to match the first 5% of its employees contributions (consistent with Q1 2009
matching contribution percentage) for the entire year of 2009. The Company will match the
first 3% of its employees contributions for 2010. The Company maintains the option to increase
the matching contributions an additional 2%, for a total of 5%, for the Companys employees based on the financial results for
2010. The total cost for this benefit in Q1 2010 and Q1 2009 was $2.2 million and $2.3 million,
respectively.

18. Benefit Plans
Multi-Employer Benefits
The Company entered into a new agreement in the third quarter of 2008 when one of its collective
bargaining contracts expired in July 2008. The new agreement allowed the Company to freeze its
liability to Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (Central States), a
multi-employer defined benefit pension fund, while preserving the pension benefits previously
earned by the employees. As a result of freezing the Companys liability to Central States, the
Company recorded a charge of $13.6 million in the second half of 2008. The Company paid $3.0
million in the fourth quarter of 2008 to the Southern States Savings and Retirement Plan
under the agreement to freeze the Central States liability. The remaining $10.6 million
was the present value amount, using a discount rate of 7% that will be paid to Central States over
the next 20 years and was recorded in other liabilities. The Company paid approximately $1 million
in 2009 and will pay approximately $1 million annually over the next 19 years.
19. Related Party Transactions
The Companys business consists primarily of the production, marketing and distribution of
nonalcoholic beverages of The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole owner of the secret formulas
under which the primary components (either concentrate or syrup) of its beverage products are
manufactured. As of April 4, 2010, The Coca-Cola Company had a 27.0% interest in the Companys
total outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a combined basis, representing 5.2% of the total votes of the Companys Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock voting together as a single class.

were $29.8 million and $30.4 million in Q1 2010 and Q1 2009, respectively. The Company also
manages the operations of SAC pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees earned from SAC
were $.3 million in Q1 2010 and $.4 million in Q1 2009. The Company has also guaranteed a portion
of debt for SAC. Such guarantee amounted to $20.8 million as of April 4, 2010. The Company has not
recorded any liability associated with this guarantee and holds no assets as collateral against
this guarantee. The Companys equity investment in SAC was $5.6 million as of April 4, 2010,
January 3, 2010 and March 29, 2009.
The Company is a shareholder in two entities from which it purchases substantially all its
requirements for plastic bottles. Net purchases from these entities were $17.0 million in Q1 2010
and $16.6 million in Q1 2009. In connection with its participation in one of these entities, the
Company has guaranteed a portion of the entitys debt. Such guarantee amounted to $18.2 million as
of April 4, 2010. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with this guarantee and
holds no assets as collateral against this guarantee. The Companys equity investment in one of
these entities, Southeastern, was $15.7 million, $13.2 million and $13.2 million as of April 4,
2010, January 3, 2010 and March 29, 2009, respectively.
The Company monitors its investments in cooperatives and would be required to write down its
investment if an impairment is identified and the Company determined it to be other-than temporary.
No impairment of the Companys investments in cooperatives has been identified as of April 4, 2010
nor was there any impairment in 2009.
The Company leases from Harrison Limited Partnership One (HLP) the Snyder Production Center
(SPC) and an adjacent sales facility, which are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. HLP is
directly and indirectly owned by trusts of which J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Deborah H. Everhart, a director of the
Company, are trustees and beneficiaries. The current lease
25

was to expire on December 31, 2010. On March 23, 2009, the Company modified the lease agreement
(new terms to begin January 1, 2011) with HLP related to the SPC lease. The modified lease would
not have changed the classification of the existing lease had it been in effect in the first
quarter of 2002, when the capital lease was recorded, as the Company received a renewal option to
extend the term of the lease, which it expected to exercise. The modified lease did not extend the
term of the existing lease (remaining lease term was reduced from approximately 22 years to
approximately 12 years). Accordingly, the present value of the leased property under capital
leases and capital lease obligations was adjusted by an amount equal to the difference between the
future minimum lease payments under the modified lease agreement and the present value of the
existing obligation on the modification date. The capital lease obligations and leased property
under capital leases were both decreased by $7.5 million in March 2009. The annual base rent the
Company is obligated to pay under the modified lease is subject to an adjustment for an inflation
factor. The prior lease annual base rent was subject to adjustment for an inflation factor and for
increases or decreases in interest rates, using LIBOR as the measurement device. The principal
balance outstanding under this capital lease as of April 4, 2010 was $28.5 million. Rental
payments related to this lease were $.8 million and $.9 million in Q1 2010 and Q1 2009,
respectively.
The Company leases from Beacon Investment Corporation (Beacon) the Companys headquarters office
facility and an adjacent office facility. The lease expires on December 31, 2021. Beacons sole
shareholder is J. Frank Harrison, III. The principal balance outstanding under this capital lease
as of April 4, 2010 was $30.5 million. Rental payments related to the lease were $.9 million in
both Q1 2010 and Q1 2009.

22. Risks and Uncertainties
Approximately 88% of the Companys Q1 2010 bottle/can volume to retail customers
are products of The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole supplier of these products or of the concentrates or
syrups required to manufacture these products. The remaining 12% of the Companys Q1 2010
bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of other beverage companies and the Company.
The Company has beverage agreements under which it has various requirements to meet. Failure to
meet the requirements of these beverage agreements could result in the loss of distribution rights
for the respective product.
The Coca-Cola Company recently announced an agreement to acquire the North America operation of
CCE, and the Companys primary competitors were recently acquired by their
franchisor. These transactions may cause uncertainty within the Coca-Cola bottler system or
adversely impact the Company and its business. At this time, it is uncertain whether the
transactions will have a material impact on the Companys business and financial results.
The Companys products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and
other outlets. During Q1 2010, approximately 70% of the Companys bottle/can volume to retail
customers was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of
approximately 30% was sold for immediate consumption.
During Q1 2009, approximately 69% of the Companys bottle/can volume to retail customers was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of approximately 31% was sold for immediate consumption.
The Companys largest customers, Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 19% and 12%, respectively, of the
Companys total bottle/can volume to retail customers in both Q1 2010 and Q1 2009. Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. accounted for 14% of the Companys total net sales during both Q1 2010 and Q1 2009.
The Company obtains all of its aluminum cans from two domestic suppliers. The Company currently
obtains all of its plastic bottles from two domestic entities. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the
consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The Company is exposed to price risk on such commodities as aluminum, corn and resin which affects
the cost of raw materials used in the production of finished products. The Company both produces
and procures these finished products. Examples of the raw materials affected are aluminum cans and
plastic bottles used for packaging and high fructose corn syrup used as a product ingredient.
Further, the Company is exposed to commodity price risk on oil which impacts the Companys cost of
fuel used in the movement and delivery of the Companys products. The Company participates in
commodity hedging and risk mitigation programs administered both by CCBSS and by the Company. In
addition, there is no limit on the price The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies can
charge for concentrate.
Certain liabilities of the Company are subject to risk due to changes in both long-term and
short-term interest rates. These liabilities include floating rate debt, leases, retirement benefit
obligations and the Companys pension liability.
Approximately 7% of the Companys labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements. One
collective bargaining contract covering approximately .5% of the Companys employees will expire
during the remainder of 2010. One collective bargaining contract covering approximately .5% of
the Companys employees expired in Q1 2010 and the Company entered into a new agreement during Q1
2010.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance which replaces
the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has
a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) with an approach focused on
identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most
significantly impacts the entitys economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits from the entity. The new guidance was effective for annual reporting
periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The Companys adoption of this new guidance did not
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which eliminates the exceptions for qualifying
special-purpose entities from consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale
accounting for certain mortgage securitization when a transferor has not surrendered control over
the transferred financial assets. The new guidance was effective for annual reporting periods that
begin after November 15, 2009. The Companys adoption of this new guidance did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies the decrease-in-ownership of
subsidiaries provisions of GAAP. The new guidance clarifies to which subsidiaries the
decrease-in-ownership provision of Accounting Standards Codification 810-10 apply. The new
guidance was effective for the Company in Q1

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
2010. The Companys adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and
out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about
purchases, sales, issuances and
settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification. The new guidance also clarifies
existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation
techniques used to measure the fair value. The new guidance was
effective for the Company in Q1 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective for the Company
in the first quarter of 2011. The Companys adoption of this new guidance did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company also does not expect the
Level 3 requirements of the new guidance effective in the first quarter of 2011 to have a material impact
on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
25. Subsequent Event
During the first weekend of May 2010, Nashville, Tennessee experienced a severe rain storm, which caused extensive flood
damage in the area. The Company has a production/sales distribution facility located in the flooded area. Disaster relief procedures were immediately
implemented to mitigate the damages and ensure the continuation of product deliveries in the region. The Company
has notified the applicable insurance companies and an evaluation of damages is being performed. Once the evaluation is completed, the Company
will determine the impact, if any, the Nashville flood has on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. |
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated operations of the Company and its
majority-owned subsidiaries including Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (Piedmont). The
noncontrolling interest consists of The Coca-Cola Companys interest in Piedmont, which was 22.7%
for all periods presented.
Our Business and the Nonalcoholic Beverage Industry
The Company produces, markets and distributes nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The
Coca-Cola Company, which include some of the most recognized and popular beverage brands in the
world. The Company
is the second largest bottler of products of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States,
distributing these products in eleven states primarily in the Southeast. The Company also
distributes several other beverage brands. These product offerings include both sparkling and still
beverages. Sparkling beverages are carbonated beverages including energy products. Still
beverages are noncarbonated beverages such as bottled water, tea, ready to drink coffee, enhanced
water, juices and sports drinks. The Company had net sales of approximately $1.4 billion in 2009.
The nonalcoholic beverage market is highly competitive. The Companys competitors include bottlers
and distributors of nationally and regionally advertised and marketed products and private label
products. In each region in which the Company operates, between 85% and 95% of sparkling beverage
sales in bottles, cans and other containers are accounted for by the Company and its principal
competitors, which in each region includes the local bottler of Pepsi-Cola and, in some regions,
the local bottler of Dr Pepper, Royal Crown and/or 7-Up products. During the last several years,
industry sales of sugar sparkling beverages, other than energy products, have declined. The
decline in sugar sparkling beverages has generally been offset by volume growth in other
33
nonalcoholic product categories. The sparkling beverage category (including energy products)
represents 85% of the Companys Q1 2010 bottle/can net sales.
The principal methods of competition in the nonalcoholic beverage industry are point-of-sale
merchandising, new product introductions, new vending and dispensing equipment, packaging changes,
pricing, price promotions, product quality, retail space management, customer service, frequency of
distribution and advertising. The Company believes it is competitive in its territories with
respect to each of these methods.
Historically, operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year have not been
representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results primarily from
higher unit sales of the Companys products in the second and third quarters versus the first and
fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are not
significantly impacted by business seasonality.
The Company performs its annual impairment test of franchise rights and goodwill as of the first
day of the fourth quarter. During Q1 2010, the Company believes it did not experience any triggering events
or changes in circumstances that indicated the carrying amounts of the Companys franchise rights
or goodwill exceeded fair values. As such, the Company has
not recognized any impairments of franchise rights or goodwill.
The Coca-Cola Company recently announced an agreement to acquire the North America operation of
Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE), and the Companys primary competitors were recently acquired by their
franchisor. These transactions may cause uncertainty within the Coca-Cola bottler system or
adversely impact the Company and its business. At this time, it is uncertain whether the
transactions will have a material impact on the Companys business and financial results.

Areas of Emphasis
Key priorities for the Company include revenue management, product innovation and beverage
portfolio expansion, distribution cost management and productivity.
Revenue Management
Revenue management requires a strategy which reflects consideration for pricing of brands and
packages within product categories and channels, highly effective working relationships with
customers and disciplined fact-based decision-making. Revenue management has been and continues to
be a key performance driver which has significant impact on the Companys results of operations.
Product Innovation and Beverage Portfolio Expansion
Sparkling beverage volume, other than energy products, has declined over the past several years.
Innovation of both new brands and packages has been and will continue to be critical to the
Companys overall revenue. New packaging introductions included the 2-liter contour bottle during
2009.
The Company has invested in its own brand portfolio with products such as Tum-E Yummies, a vitamin
C enhanced flavored drink, Country Breeze tea and diet Country Breeze tea and became the exclusive
licensee of Cinnabon Premium Coffee Lattes. These brands enable the Company to participate in
strong growth categories and capitalize on distribution channels that may include the Companys
traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory as well as third party distributors outside the Companys
traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory. While the growth prospects of Company-owned or
exclusive licensed brands appear promising, the cost of developing, marketing and distributing
these brands is anticipated to be significant as well.
Distribution Cost Management
Distribution costs represent the costs of transporting finished goods from Company locations to
customer outlets. Total distribution costs amounted to $44.9 million and $45.5 million in Q1 2010
and Q1 2009, respectively. Over the past several years, the Company has focused on converting its
distribution system from a conventional routing
system to a predictive system. This conversion to a predictive system has allowed the Company to
more
35
efficiently handle increasing numbers of products. In addition, the Company has closed a
number of smaller sales distribution centers over the past several years reducing its fixed
warehouse-related costs.
The Company has three primary delivery systems for its current business:
|
|
|
bulk delivery for large supermarkets, mass merchandisers and club stores; |
|
|
|
|
advanced sales delivery for convenience stores, drug stores, small supermarkets and
certain on-premise accounts; and |
|
|
|
|
full service delivery for its full service vending customers. |
Distribution cost management will continue to be a key area of emphasis for the Company.
Productivity
A key driver in the Companys selling, delivery and administrative (S,D&A) expense management relates to ongoing improvements in labor
productivity and asset productivity.

The Companys net sales increased 3.3% in Q1 2010 compared to Q1 2009. The increase in net sales
was primarily due to a 5% increase in bottle/can volume and a $4.7 million increase in sales of the
Companys own brand portfolio (primarily Tum-E Yummies) partially offset by a 3.7% decrease in
average sales price per bottle/can unit. The increase in bottle/can volume was primarily due to an
increase in volume in the sparkling product categories except energy products. The decrease in
average sales price per bottle/can unit was primarily due to decreased sales prices in all product
categories except energy products and a change in product mix primarily due to increased sales of
future consumption 12-ounce cans which have a lower sales price per unit compared to immediate
consumption products. The $4.7 million increase in sales of the Companys own brand portfolio was
primarily due to CCEs distribution of the Companys Tum-E
Yummies product beginning in Q1 2010.
Gross margin dollars decreased .3% in Q1 2010 compared to Q1 2009. The Companys gross margin
percentage decreased to 42.2% for Q1 2010 from 43.8% for Q1 2009. The decrease in gross margin
percentage was primarily due to lower sales prices per bottle/can unit.
S,D&A
expenses increased 2.4% in Q1 2010 from Q1 2009. The increase in S,D&A expenses in Q1 2010
from Q1 2009 was primarily attributable to increases in employee costs related to
an auto allowance program, increased fuel costs and increased professional fees offset
partially by decreased bad debt expense, decreased depreciation
expense and a decrease in employee benefit costs.
Net interest expense decreased 4.8% in Q1 2010 compared to Q1 2009. The decrease was primarily due
to lower debt borrowing levels. The Companys
overall weighted average interest rate increased to 5.7% during Q1 2010 from 5.6% during Q1 2009.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements
Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under
different assumptions and conditions. The Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended January 3, 2010 a discussion of the Companys most critical accounting policies,
which are those most important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results of
operations and require managements most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a
result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The Company did not make changes in any critical accounting policies during Q1 2010. Any changes
in critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company during the quarter in which a change is made.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance which replaced
the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has
a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) with an approach focused on
identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most
significantly impacts the entitys economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits from the entity. The new guidance was
effective for annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The Companys adoption
of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which eliminates the exceptions for qualifying
special-purpose entities from consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale
accounting for certain mortgage securitization when a transferor has not surrendered control over
the transferred financial assets. The new guidance was effective for annual reporting periods that
begin after November 15, 2009. The Companys
38
adoption of this new guidance did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies the decrease-in-ownership of
subsidiaries provisions of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The new guidance
clarifies to which subsidiaries the decrease-in-ownership provision of Accounting Standards
Codification 810-10 apply. The new guidance was effective for the Company in Q1 2010. The
Companys adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and
out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification. The new guidance
also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs
and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The new
guidance was effective for the Company in Q1 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level
3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective for
the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Companys adoption of this new guidance did not
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company also does not
expect the Level 3 requirements of the new guidance effective in the first quarter of 2011 to have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In Q1 2010, the Companys bottle/can sales to retail customers accounted for 82% of the Companys
total net sales compared to 84% in Q1 2009. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price
charged to customers
39
reduced by promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per unit is
impacted by the price charged per package, the volume generated in each package and the channels in
which those packages are sold. The decrease in the Companys bottle/can net pricing per unit in Q1
2010 compared to Q1 2009 was primarily due to sales price decreases in all product categories,
except energy products and a change in product mix primarily due to increased sales of future
consumption 12-ounce cans which have a lower sales price per unit compared to immediate consumption
products.
Product category sales volume in Q1 2010 and Q1 2009 as a percentage of total bottle/can sales
volume and the percentage change by product category was as follows:

The Companys products are sold and distributed through various channels. These channels include
selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts
and vending machine outlets. During Q1 2010, approximately 70% of the Companys bottle/can volume
was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 30% was sold for
immediate consumption. The Companys largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for
approximately 19% of the Companys total bottle/can volume during both Q1 2010 and Q1 2009. The Companys second
largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 12% of the Companys total bottle/can
volume in both Q1 2010 and Q1 2009. All of the Companys beverage sales are to customers in the United States.
The Company recorded delivery fees in net sales of $1.8 million and $1.9 million in Q1 2010 and Q1
2009, respectively. These fees are used to offset a portion of the Companys delivery and handling
costs.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the following: raw material costs, manufacturing labor, manufacturing
overhead including depreciation expense, manufacturing warehousing costs and shipping and handling
costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution
centers.
Cost of
sales increased 6.2%, or $11.6 million, to $200.8 million in Q1 2010 compared to $189.1

The Company relies extensively on advertising and sales promotion in the marketing of its products.
The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies that supply concentrates, syrups and finished
products to the Company make substantial marketing and advertising expenditures to promote sales in
the local territories served by the Company. The Company also benefits from national advertising
programs conducted by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies. Certain of the marketing
expenditures by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies are made pursuant to
annual arrangements. Although The Coca-Cola Company has advised the Company that it intends to
continue to provide marketing funding support, it is not obligated to do so under the Companys
Beverage Agreements. Significant decreases in marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company
or other beverage companies could adversely impact operating results of the Company in the future.
Total marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies, which
includes direct payments to the Company and payments to customers for marketing programs, was $12.4
million for Q1 2010 compared to $11.4 million for Q1 2009.
Gross Margin
Gross margin dollars decreased .3%, or $.4 million, to $146.7 million in Q1 2010 compared to $147.1
million in Q1 2009. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 42.2% for Q1 2010 from

The Companys gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include
all costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales. The Company includes a portion
of these costs in S,D&A expenses.
S,D&A Expenses
S,D&A expenses include the following: sales management labor costs, distribution costs from sales
distribution centers to customer locations, sales distribution center warehouse costs,
depreciation expense related to sales centers, delivery vehicles and cold drink equipment,
point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses, cold drink equipment repair costs, amortization of
intangibles and administrative support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal,
information services, accounting, internal control services, human resources and executive
management costs.
S,D&A expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 2.4%, to $129.0 million in Q1 2010 from $126.0 million
in Q1 2009. S,D&A expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased from 37.5% in Q1 2009 to 37.1% in Q1 2010.

Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations
to sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs related
to the movement of finished goods from sales distribution centers to customer locations are
included in S,D&A expenses and totaled $44.9 million and $45.5 million in Q1 2010 and Q1 2009,
respectively.
The net impact of the Companys fuel hedging program was to increase fuel costs by $.4 million in
Q1 2010 and decrease fuel costs by $1.5 million in Q1 2009.
Primarily due to the performance of the Companys pension plan investments during 2009, the
Companys expense recorded in S,D&A expenses related to the two Company-sponsored pension plans
decreased by $1.1 million from $2.4 million in Q1 2009 to $1.3 million in Q1 2010.
The Company suspended matching contributions to its 401(k) Savings Plan effective April 1, 2009.
The Company maintained the option to match its employees 401(k) Savings Plan contributions based
on the financial results for 2009. The Company subsequently decided to match the first 5% of its
employees contributions (consistent with Q1 2009 matching contribution percentage) for the entire
year of 2009. The Company will match the first 3% of its employees contributions for 2010.
The Company maintains the option to increase the matching
contributions an additional 2%, for a total of 5%, for the Companys
employees based on the financial results for 2010.
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law.
On March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Reconciliation Act),
was also signed into law. The PPACA and the Reconciliation Act, when taken
together, represent comprehensive healthcare reform legislation that will likely affect the cost
associated with providing employer-sponsored medical plans. At this point, the Company is in the
process of determining the impact this legislation will have on the Companys employer-sponsored
medical plans.
Interest Expense
42
Net interest expense decreased 4.8%, or $.4 million, in Q1 2010 compared to Q1 2009. The decrease
in interest expense in Q1 2010 was primarily due to lower debt borrowing levels. The Companys
overall weighted average interest rate increased to 5.7% during Q1 2010 from 5.6% during Q1 2009.
See the Liquidity and Capital Resources Hedging Activities Interest Rate Hedging section of
M,D&A for additional information.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective income tax rate for Q1 2010 was 44.4% compared to 26.4% for Q1 2009. The
increase in the effective tax rate for Q1 2010 resulted primarily from the elimination of the tax
deduction associated with Medicare Part D subsidy as required by the
PPACA enacted on March 23, 2010 and the Reconciliation Act
enacted on March 30, 2010. As a result, during Q1 2010, the Company recorded tax expense totaling
$.5 million related to changes made to the tax deductibility of Medicare Part D subsidies. In Q1
2009, the Company reached an agreement with a state taxing authority to settle prior tax positions
for which the Company had previously provided reserves due to uncertainty of resolution. As a
result, the Company reduced the liability for uncertain tax positions by $1.7 million. The net
effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense in Q1 2009 of approximately $1.7
million. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. The
Companys income tax rate for the remainder of 2010 is dependent upon the results of operations and
may change if the results in 2010 are different from current expectations.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company recorded net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $.5 million in Q1
2010 compared to $.3 million in Q1 2009 related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola
Company.
Financial Condition
Total assets of $1.34 billion at April 4, 2010 increased from January 3, 2010 primarily due to
increases in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventories offset by a decrease in
property, plant and equipment, net. Property, plant and equipment, net decreased primarily due to
lower levels of capital spending over the past several years.
Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, increased by $28.9 million
to $97.2 million at April 4, 2010 from January 3, 2010 and increased by $76.8 million at April 4,
2010 from March 29, 2009.
Significant changes in net working capital from January 3, 2010 were as follows:

operations and additional borrowings on a line of credit in anticipation of certain payments
due the beginning of second quarter 2010. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $18.7 million primarily due to the holiday
promotion at the end of Q1 2010. |
|
|
|

|
|
A decrease in current portion of long-term debt of $46.7 million primarily due to $66.7
million debt payments, net of refinancing, due in 2009 partially offset by $20 million of
borrowings on a line of credit in 2010. |
|
|
|
An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $10.3 million primarily due to cash provided by
operations and additional borrowings on a line of credit in anticipation of certain payments

Debt and capital lease obligations were $635.1 million as of April 4, 2010 compared to $601.0
million as of January 3, 2010 and $657.1 million as of March 29, 2009. Debt and capital lease
obligations as of April 4, 2010 included $62.2 million of capital lease obligations related
primarily to Company facilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
The Companys sources of capital include cash flows from operations, available credit facilities
and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Management believes the Company has sufficient
resources available to finance its business plan, meet its working capital requirements and
maintain an appropriate level of capital spending. The amount and frequency of future dividends
will be determined by the Companys Board of Directors in light of the earnings and financial
condition of the Company at such time, and no assurance can be given that dividends will be
declared in the future.
As of April 4, 2010, the Company had $170 million available under its $200 million revolving credit
facility ($200 million facility) to meet its cash requirements. The $200 million facility
contains two financial covenants: a fixed charges coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow
ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the
Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed
44
charges ratio of 1.5 to 1 or higher. The
operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or
lower. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants and has been throughout 2010.
In April 2009, the Company issued $110 million of unsecured 7% Senior Notes due in 2019.
The Company had debt maturities of $119.3 million in May 2009 and $57.4 million in July 2009. On
May 1, 2009, the Company used the proceeds from the $110 million 7% Senior Notes due 2019 plus cash
on hand to repay the debt maturity of $119.3 million. The Company used cash flow generated from
operations and $55.0 million in borrowings under its $200 million facility to repay the $57.4
million debt maturity on July 1, 2009. The Company currently believes that all of the banks
participating in the Companys $200 million facility have the ability to and will meet any funding
requests from the Company.
The Company has obtained the majority of its long-term financing, other than capital leases, from
public markets. As of April 4, 2010, $553.0 million of the Companys total outstanding balance of
debt and capital lease obligations of $635.1 million was financed through the Companys $200
million credit facility and publicly offered debt. The Company had capital lease obligations of
$62.2 million as of April 4, 2010. There were $30.0 million outstanding on the $200 million
facility and $20.0 million outstanding on the line of credit as of April 4, 2010.
The additional borrowings as of April 4, 2010 were in anticipation of certain payments due the beginning of the second quarter of 2010.
Cash Sources and Uses
The primary sources of cash for the Company have been cash provided by operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities. The primary uses of cash have been for capital
expenditures, the payment of debt and capital lease obligations and dividend payments.

Investing Activities

Additions to property, plant and equipment during Q1 2010 were $11.2 million of which $1.7 million
was accrued in accounts payable, trade as unpaid and $1.5 million was a trade-in allowance on manufacturing equipment. This compared to $6.2 million during Q1 2009.
Capital expenditures during Q1 2010 were funded with cash flows from operations. The Company
anticipates total additions to property, plant and equipment in fiscal year 2010 will be in the
range of $50 million to $60 million.
Additions to property, plant and equipment during 2009 were $55.0
million of which $11.6 million were accrued in accounts payable, trade as unpaid.
Leasing is used for certain capital additions when considered
cost effective relative to other sources of capital. The Company currently leases its corporate
headquarters, two production facilities and several sales distribution facilities and
administrative facilities.
Financing Activities
On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million facility replacing its $100 million
credit facility. The $200 million facility matures in March 2012 and includes an option to extend
the term for an additional year at the discretion of the participating banks. The $200 million
facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate
spread of .35%, dependent on the length of the term of the interest period. In addition, the
Company must pay an annual facility fee of .10% of the lenders aggregate commitments under the
facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used
pricing grid based on the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The $200 million
facility contains two financial covenants: a fixed charges coverage ratio and a debt to operating
cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio
requires the Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1 or
higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash
flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or lower. On August 25, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the
$200 million facility. The amendment clarified that charges incurred by the Company resulting
from the Companys withdrawal from the Central States Southeast and Southwest Pension Fund, a
multi-employer pension fund, would be excluded from the calculations of the financial covenants to
the extent they were incurred on or before March 31, 2009 and did not exceed $15 million. The
Company is currently in compliance with these covenants as amended by the amendment to the $200
million facility. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will
restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On July 1, 2009, the Company borrowed $55 million
under the $200 million facility and used the proceeds, along with $2.4 million of cash on hand, to
repay at maturity the Companys $57.4 million outstanding 7.2% Debentures due 2009. On April 4,
2010 and January 3, 2010, the Company had $30.0 million and $15.0 million outstanding under the
$200 million facility, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding under the $200 million
facility at March 29, 2009.
In April 2009, the Company issued $110 million of 7% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds plus cash
on hand were used on May 1, 2009 to repay at maturity the $119.3 million outstanding 6.375%
Debentures due 2009.
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit.
Under this agreement, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days, 30
days, 60 days or 90 days. On April 4, 2010, the Company had $20.0 million outstanding under the
uncommitted line of credit.
All of the outstanding debt has been issued by the Company with none having been issued by any of
the Companys subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Companys debt. The Company or its
subsidiaries have entered into four capital leases.
46
At April 4, 2010, the Companys credit ratings were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Long-Term Debt |
Standard & Poors |
|
BBB |
Moodys |
|
Baa2 |
The Companys credit ratings are reviewed periodically by the respective rating agencies. Changes
in the Companys operating results or financial position could result in changes in the Companys
credit ratings. Lower credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs for the Company or
reduced access to capital markets, which could have a material impact on the Companys financial
position or results of operations. There were no changes in these credit ratings from the prior
year and the credit ratings are currently stable.
The Companys public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of
certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Companys subsidiaries in excess of
certain amounts.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is a member of two manufacturing cooperatives and has guaranteed $39.0 million of debt
and related lease obligations for these entities as of April 4, 2010. In addition, the Company
has an equity ownership in each of the entities. The members of both cooperatives consist solely
of Coca-Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to
fulfill their commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient
assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust
selling prices of their products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the
Companys guarantees. As of April 4, 2010, the Companys maximum exposure, if the entities
borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $71.8 million including the Companys
equity interests. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information about these entities.

The Company has $5.7 million of uncertain tax positions including accrued interest as of April 4,
2010 (included in other long-term liabilities in the table above) of which $3.6 million would
affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. It is expected that the amount of
uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months. During this period, it is reasonably
possible that tax audits could reduce uncertain tax positions; however, the Company does not
expect the change to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note
15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The Company is a member of Southeastern Container, a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative,
from which the Company is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic
bottles for certain designated territories. This obligation is not included in the Companys
table of contractual obligations and commercial commitments since there are no minimum purchase
requirements.
As of April 4, 2010, the Company has $30.7 million of standby letters of credit, primarily related
to its property and casualty insurance programs. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements for additional information related to commercial commitments, guarantees, legal and tax
matters.
The Company contributed $.1 million to one of its Company-sponsored pension plans in Q1 2010 and has
contributed $1.0 million in April 2010. Based on information currently available, the Company
anticipates cash contributions during the
48
remainder of 2010 will be approximately $5.5 million excluding the $1.0 million contribution in
April 2010. Postretirement medical care payments are expected to be approximately $2.5 million in
2010. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to
pension and postretirement obligations.
Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Hedging
The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to mitigate risk from interest rate
fluctuations. The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon
anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Companys debt level and the potential
impact of changes in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity
analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of
various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments.
The Company has not had any interest rate swap agreements outstanding since September 2008.
Interest expense was reduced due to the amortization of deferred gains on previously terminated
interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements by $.3 million and $.9 million
during Q1 2010 and in Q1 2009, respectively.
The weighted average interest rate of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations was 5.4% as
of April 4, 2010 compared to 5.6% as of January 3, 2010, and 5.6% as of March 29, 2009. The
Companys overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations
increased to 5.7% in Q1 2010 from 5.6% in Q1 2009. Approximately 12.4% of the Companys debt and
capital lease obligations of $635.1 million as of April 4, 2010 was maintained on a floating rate
basis and was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
Fuel Hedging
The Company used derivative instruments to hedge essentially all of the projected diesel
fuel purchases for 2010 and 2009. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel used by the
Companys delivery fleet. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the
corresponding period of the instrument. The Company accounts for its fuel hedges on a
mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of fuel costs.
The
Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity
derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit
risk. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial
agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions.
In October 2008, the Company entered into derivative contracts to hedge essentially all of its
projected diesel fuel purchases for 2009 establishing an upper and lower limit on the Companys
price of diesel fuel.
In February 2009, the Company entered into derivative contracts to hedge essentially all of its
projected diesel purchases for 2010 establishing an upper limit on the Companys price of diesel
fuel.
The net impact of the Companys fuel hedging program was to increase fuel costs by $.4 million in
Q1 2010 and decrease fuel costs by $1.5 million in Q1 2009.
49
Aluminum Hedging
At the end of Q1 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of
the projected 2010 aluminum purchase requirements. The Company pays a fee for these
instruments which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instruments. The Company
accounts for its aluminum hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being
reflected as an adjustment to cost of sales.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company entered into derivative contracts to hedge
approximately 75% of the projected 2011 aluminum purchase requirements.
The net impact of the Companys aluminum hedging program was to decrease cost of sales by $.5
million and $.7 million in Q1 2010 and Q1 2009, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to certain market risks that arise in the ordinary course of business. The
Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market
risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading
purposes. A discussion of the Companys primary market risk exposure and interest rate risk is
presented below.
Debt and Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its fixed and floating rate debt. The Company
periodically uses interest rate hedging products to modify risk from interest rate fluctuations.
The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon anticipated cash flows
from operations relative to the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are
performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of various interest
rate movements. The counterparties to these interest rate hedging arrangements were major
financial institutions with which the Company also has other financial relationships. The Company
did not have any interest rate hedging products as of April 4, 2010. The Company generally
maintains between 40% and 60% of total borrowings at variable interest rates after taking into
account all of the interest rate hedging activities. While this is the target range for the
percentage of total borrowings at variable interest rates, the financial position of the Company
and market conditions may result in strategies outside of this range at certain points in time.
Approximately 12.4% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations of $635.1 million as of
April 4, 2010 was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
As it relates to the Companys variable rate debt and variable rate leases, assuming no changes in
the Companys financial structure, if market interest rates average 1% more over the next twelve
months than the interest rates as of April 4, 2010, interest expense for the following twelve
months would increase by approximately $.8 million. This amount was determined by calculating the
effect of the hypothetical interest rate on the Companys variable rate debt and variable rate
leases. This calculated, hypothetical increase in interest expense for the following twelve months
may be different from the actual increase in interest expense from a 1% increase in interest rates
due to varying interest rate reset dates on the Companys floating rate debt.
Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk
The Company is also subject to commodity price risk arising from price movements for certain other
commodities included as part of its raw
materials. The Company manages this commodity price risk in some cases by entering into contracts
with adjustable prices. The Company has not historically used derivative commodity instruments in
the management of this risk. The Company estimates that a 10% increase in the market prices of
these commodities over the current market prices would cumulatively increase costs during the next
12 months by approximately $24 million assuming no change in volume.
The Company entered into derivative instruments to hedge essentially all of the projected
diesel fuel purchases for 2010 and 2009. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel used
by the Companys delivery fleet. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized
over the corresponding period of the instrument. The Company currently accounts for its fuel
hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of
fuel costs.
At the end of Q1 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75%
of the projected 2010 aluminum purchase requirements. During the second quarter of 2009, the
Company entered into derivative contracts to hedge approximately 75% of the projected
2011 aluminum purchase requirements. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is
amortized over the corresponding period
53
of the instruments. The Company accounts for its aluminum
hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment to
cost of sales.
Effects of Changing Prices
The principal effect of inflation on the Companys operating results is to increase costs. The
Company may raise selling prices to offset these cost increases; however, the resulting impact on
retail prices may reduce the volume of product purchased by consumers.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the
Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purpose of
providing reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company
files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to
the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended April 4, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except for the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the factors
disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 3, 2010.
Increases in the cost of employee benefits, including current employees medical benefits and
postretirement benefits, could impact the Companys financial results and cash flow.
On March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law.
On March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(Reconciliation Act), was also signed into law. The PPACA and the Reconciliation Act, when
taken together, represent comprehensive healthcare reform legislation that will likely affect the
cost associated with providing employer-sponsored medical plans. At this point, the Company is in
the process of determining the impact this legislation will have on the Companys
employer-sponsored medical plans.
Additionally, the PPACA and the Reconciliation Act included provisions that will reduce the tax
benefits available to employers that receive Medicare Part D subsidies.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March 9, 2010, 22,320 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock, $1.00 par value, vested and
were issued pursuant to a performance-based award to J. Frank Harrison, III, in connection with
his services in 2009 as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. The shares of Class B Common Stock were issued to Mr. Harrison, III without registration
under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
