Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, effective beginning with the third quarter of 2015, PepsiCo, Inc. (PepsiCo) realigned certain of its reportable segments to be consistent with certain changes to its organizational structure and how the Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of these segments. As a result, all of its beverage, food and snack businesses in Latin America are reported together as Latin America and its North American beverage business is reported separately as North America Beverages. Prior to this change, the PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB) segment included all of the North American and Latin American beverage businesses. In addition, the PepsiCo Europe (Europe) reportable segment now includes the businesses in the Sub-Saharan Africa markets that were formerly part of PepsiCo Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA) and was renamed Europe Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA). AMEA was renamed Asia, Middle East and North Africa (AMENA). These changes did not impact the Frito-Lay North America or Quaker Foods North America reportable segments.
PepsiCo is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to retrospectively revise historical segment information to correspond with this new organizational structure.
Attached in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K are retrospectively revised segment discussions within Part I, “Item 1. Business;” Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;” and footnotes 1, 3 and 4 to PepsiCo’s consolidated financial statements, in each case as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2014 (the 2014 Form 10-K), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 12, 2015.
The changes in the reportable segment structure discussed above, as reflected in the information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, affect only the manner in which the results for the prior Latin America Foods, PAB, Europe and AMEA segments were previously reported. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not revise nor restate PepsiCo’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period, and all other information in the 2014 Form 10-K remains unchanged, including footnote 2 and footnotes 5 through 15 to PepsiCo’s consolidated financial statements, and has not been otherwise updated for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the filing of the 2014 Form 10-K with the SEC. Beginning with the third quarter of 2015, PepsiCo’s financial statements reflected the realignment of its reportable segments with prior periods adjusted accordingly.
