Refer to the Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.

• We had positive organic revenue growth in each of our operating groups and gained global value and volume share in nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (NARTD) beverages in the quarter. After adjusting for the six additional days in the first quarter, concentrate sales growth and unit case volume growth were generally in line year to date.
• Global sparkling beverage volume growth in the quarter was led by 1% growth in brand Coca-Cola, 6% growth in Coca-Cola Zero, 3% growth in Sprite and 2% growth in Fanta. Growth in these brands was partially offset by a 7% decline in Diet Coke. We gained global value and volume share in sparkling beverages in the quarter.
• Global still beverage volume growth in the quarter reflects 7% growth in ready-to-drink tea, 8% growth in packaged water and double-digit growth in value-added dairy. Volume growth in these categories was partially offset by a 1% decline in juice and juice drinks attributable to price increases taken to cover higher input costs and continued industry softness in certain markets. We gained global value and volume share in still beverages, juice and juice drinks, ready-to-drink tea and sports drinks in the quarter.
• Comparable currency neutral operating income growth outpaced organic revenue growth in the quarter primarily due to gross margin expansion and the impact of our ongoing productivity initiatives, partially offset by increased marketing investments.
• Comparable currency neutral income before taxes lagged comparable currency neutral operating income growth in the quarter primarily due to lower equity income and a decrease in net interest income.
• The reported effective tax rate and the underlying annual effective tax rate in the quarter were 28.7% and 22.5%, respectively. The variance between the reported rate and the underlying rate was due to the tax effect of various items impacting comparability, separately disclosed in the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.
• Reported EPS was $0.71 and comparable EPS was $0.63. Items impacting comparability increased reported EPS by a net $0.08 and were primarily related to a net gain recognized in connection with the closing of the transaction with Monster Beverage Corporation, partially offset by costs associated with our previously announced productivity program. For additional details on items impacting comparability, refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.
• Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in an 11 point headwind on comparable operating income and a 6 point headwind on both comparable income before taxes and EPS in the quarter. The currency impact on income before taxes was consistent with the outlook we provided earlier this year.
• Year-to-date cash from operations was $5.1 billion, up 14%, primarily due to efficient management of working capital and the impact of six additional days in the first quarter, partially offset by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
• Year-to-date net share repurchases totaled $876 million.

• Organic revenue growth in the quarter was driven by concentrate sales growth, positive pricing and favorable product mix across most key markets, partially offset by unfavorable geographic mix. After adjusting for the additional days in the first quarter and unit case volume related to joint ventures that do not have equivalent concentrate sales, concentrate sales growth trailed unit case volume growth year to date. We expect concentrate sales and unit case sales to be generally in line for the full year.
• Comparable currency neutral income before taxes outpaced organic revenue growth in the quarter due to favorable timing of operating expenses, partially offset by lower equity income associated with our joint ventures in the juice and juice drinks category in our Eurasia and Africa group.
• We gained value and volume share in total NARTD beverages, sparkling beverages and still beverages. Sparkling beverage volume growth was driven by 5% growth in Trademark Coca-Cola. Still beverage volume growth was primarily driven by 9% growth in juice and juice drinks and 6% growth in packaged water. Unit case volume growth included 7% growth in our Central, East & West Africa business unit and 3% growth in our Middle East & North Africa business unit. Volume growth in these markets was partially offset by a low single-digit decline in Russia.

• Organic revenue growth in the quarter was driven by strong growth in our expanding still beverage portfolio and 1 point of positive price/mix despite the deflationary environment. After adjusting for the additional days in the first quarter, concentrate sales growth and unit case volume growth were generally in line year to date.
• Comparable currency neutral income before taxes trailed organic revenue growth in the quarter primarily due to increased marketing investments and higher input costs partially offset by the impact of ongoing productivity initiatives.
• We gained value and volume share in core sparkling and value share in still beverages driven by strong marketing investments and new product launches in both categories. Still beverage volume growth was driven by juice and juice drinks, including double-digit growth of the innocent brand, and packaged water, including the introduction of smartwater at the end of 2014.

• Organic revenue growth in the quarter was driven by positive price/mix in each of our four business units, particularly in the higher inflationary markets within our South Latin business unit. After adjusting for the additional days in the first quarter, concentrate sales growth and unit case volume growth were generally in line year to date.
• Comparable currency neutral income before taxes outpaced organic revenue growth in the quarter primarily due to timing of operating expenses, partially offset by higher input costs and increased marketing investments.
• We gained value and volume share in total NARTD beverages, sparkling beverages and still beverages in the quarter. Unit case volume reflected 7% growth in our South Latin business unit, 4% growth in our Latin Center business unit and 1% growth in Mexico, partially offset by a low single-digit decline in Brazil.

Refer to the Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.

• Organic revenue growth in the quarter was driven primarily by 4 points of positive price/mix. Acquisitions and divestitures reflect the impact of refranchised territories, which was mostly offset by the benefit of our expanded distribution of Monster beverage products in North America. The expanded distribution contributed 1 point of unit case volume growth in both the quarter and year to date. After adjusting for the additional days in the first quarter and the impact of acquired volume, concentrate sales growth and unit case volume growth were generally in line year to date.
• Comparable currency neutral income before taxes outpaced organic revenue growth in the quarter primarily due to lower input costs and the impact of our ongoing productivity initiatives, partially offset by increased marketing investments. Structural changes had a nominal net impact on income before taxes as the impact of refranchised territories was offset by the benefit of expanded distribution of Monster beverage products in North America.
• We gained value share in total NARTD beverages for the 21st consecutive quarter driven by an increase in both the quality and quantity of our marketing investments and our continued rational approach to pricing and disciplined price/pack strategies. We also gained value and volume share in sparkling beverages, still beverages, juice and juice drinks and ready-to-drink tea. Still beverage volume growth was driven by double-digit growth in smartwater, Gold Peak and Honest tea.

• Organic revenue growth in the quarter reflects strong concentrate sales growth, mostly offset by unfavorable price/mix. After adjusting for the additional days in the first quarter, concentrate sales growth lagged unit case volume growth year to date primarily due to timing of shipments. We expect concentrate sales and unit case sales to be generally in line for the full year.
• Comparable currency neutral income before taxes trailed organic revenue growth due to increased marketing investments partially offset by the efficient management of operating expenses.
• Unit case volume growth in the quarter reflected 6% growth in China and 1% growth in Japan, partially offset by a mid single-digit decline in India. China's performance includes strong growth across our sparkling brand portfolio. In Japan, volume growth was driven by solid performance in the tea category. We gained value and volume share in total NARTD beverages in both China and Japan in the quarter. In India, unseasonable weather during the quarter drove an overall decline in the industry.

• Organic revenue growth in the quarter was driven by reported volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable price/mix attributable to channel, product and package mix.
• Comparable currency neutral income before taxes outpaced organic revenue growth primarily due to the continued strong performance of our Company-owned bottling operations in several markets including Germany, China and Vietnam.

2015 OUTLOOK

• We estimate that the net impact of structural items on full-year 2015 results will be a 1 point headwind on both net revenues and income before taxes.
• We expect fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to have an unfavorable impact on our reported results in 2015. Based on current spot rates, our existing hedge positions, and the cycling of our prior year rates, we estimate that currency will be an approximate 6 point headwind on net revenues, an 11 point headwind on operating income, and a 7 to 8 point headwind on income before taxes for the full year. For the third quarter, we estimate that currency will be an approximate 7 point headwind on net revenues, a 13 point headwind on operating income and a 10 point headwind on income before taxes.
• The underlying effective annual tax rate on operations for 2015 is expected to be 22.5%.
• We are now targeting full-year 2015 net share repurchases of $2.0 to $2.5 billion.
• Given the above, our full-year comparable currency neutral growth expectations remain unchanged.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

• For details on items impacting comparability in the quarter, see the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.

NOTES

• All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period.
• "Comparable currency neutral income before taxes" is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or otherwise adjusts for items impacting comparability and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For details on these adjustments, refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.
• "Comparable currency neutral income before taxes (structurally adjusted)" is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or otherwise adjusts for items impacting comparability, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of structural items. For details on these adjustments, refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.
• "Concentrate sales" represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases and powders sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the Company to its bottling partners or other customers.
• "Concentrate sales/reported volume" represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for our geographic operating segments (expressed in equivalent unit cases) after considering the impact of structural changes. For our Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume after considering the impact of structural changes. Our Bottling Investments operating segment data reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only and is computed on a reported basis.
• "Organic revenue" is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable. For details on these adjustments, refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedule.
• "Sparkling beverages" means NARTD beverages with carbonation, including carbonated energy drinks and waters.
• "Still beverages" means nonalcoholic beverages without carbonation, including noncarbonated waters, flavored waters and enhanced waters, juices and juice drinks, teas, coffees, sports drinks and noncarbonated energy drinks.
• All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales, unless otherwise noted. "Unit case" means a unit of measurement equal to 24 eight-ounce servings of finished beverage. "Unit case volume" means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of Company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the Company and its bottling partners to customers.
• First quarter 2015 financial results were impacted by six additional days, and fourth quarter 2015 financial results will be impacted by six fewer days. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variance in selling days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.
• The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing the Company’s ongoing performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(UNAUDITED)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or referred to herein as "reported"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our ongoing performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial information does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as "items impacting comparability" based on how management views our business; makes financial, operating and planning decisions; and evaluates the Company's ongoing performance. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as impacting only the current period or the comparable period, but not both, or as relating to different and unrelated underlying activities or events across comparable periods, are generally considered "items impacting comparability". In addition, we provide the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates had on our financial results ("currency neutral").

Asset Impairments and Restructuring

Restructuring

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $94 million and $129 million, respectively. The Company also recorded charges of $66 million and $108 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively. These charges were related to the integration of our German bottling and distribution operations.

Productivity and Reinvestment

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $92 million and $182 million, respectively, related to our productivity and reinvestment program. The Company also recorded charges of $89 million and $175 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively. These productivity and reinvestment initiatives are focused on four key areas: restructuring the Company's global supply chain, including manufacturing in North America; implementing zero-based budgeting across the organization; streamlining and simplifying the Company's operating model; and further driving increased discipline and efficiency in direct marketing investments. The savings realized from the program will enable the Company to fund marketing initiatives and innovation required to deliver sustainable net revenue growth. The savings will also support margin expansion and increased returns on invested capital over time.

Equity Investees

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded net charges of $9 million and $82 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recorded net charges of $6 million and $12 million, respectively. These amounts represent the Company’s proportionate share of unusual or infrequent items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.

Transaction Gains/Losses

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded a net gain of $1,402 million as a result of our transaction with Monster Beverage Corporation ("Monster"), primarily due to the difference in the recorded carrying value of the assets transferred, including an allocated portion of goodwill, compared to the value of the total assets and business acquired. This net gain was recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. Additionally, under the terms of this transaction, the Company is required to discontinue selling energy products under certain trademarks, including one trademark in the glacéau portfolio. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $380 million in the line item other operating charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income upon the closing of the transaction with Monster, primarily related to the discontinuation of the energy products in the glacéau portfolio.

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $12 million and $33 million, respectively. The Company also recorded charges of $140 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014. These charges were primarily due to the derecognition of intangible assets relating to the refranchising of territories in North America to certain of its unconsolidated bottling partners.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the owners of the majority interest of a Brazilian bottler exercised their option to acquire from us a 10 percent interest in the entity's outstanding shares resulting in our recognizing an estimated loss of $32 million due to the exercise price being lower than our carrying value. The transaction closed in January 2015, and the Company recorded an additional loss of $6 million during the six months ended July 3, 2015, calculated based on the final option price. Also during the six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded a loss of $19 million on our previously held investment in a South African bottler, which had been accounted for under the equity method of accounting prior to our acquisition of the bottler in February 2015.

Other Items

Economic (Nondesignated) Hedges

The Company uses derivatives as economic hedges primarily to mitigate the price risk associated with the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing process as well as the purchase of vehicle fuel. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in fair values of these economic hedges are immediately recognized into earnings.

The Company excludes the net impact of mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding hedges and realized gains/losses for settled hedges from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying exposure being hedged impacts our condensed consolidated statement of income. We believe this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our economic hedging activities. During the three months ended July 3, 2015 and June 27, 2014, the net impact of the Company's adjustment related to our economic hedging activities described above resulted in decreases of $56 million and $54 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes. During the six months ended July 3, 2015 and June 27, 2014, the net impact of the Company's adjustment related to our economic hedging activities described above resulted in decreases of $11 million and $99 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.

Donation to The Coca-Cola Foundation

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded a charge of $100 million due to a contribution that was made to The Coca-Cola Foundation, which was recorded in the line item other operating charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Early Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt

During the six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $320 million due to the early extinguishment of certain long-term debt, which were recorded in the line item interest expense in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Hyperinflationary Economies

During the six months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded net charges of $135 million related to our Venezuelan operations. These charges were a result of the remeasurement of the net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiary using the SIMADI exchange rate, an impairment of a Venezuelan trademark due to higher exchange rates, and a write-down of receivables from our bottling partner in Venezuela. The write-down was recorded as a result of the continued lack of liquidity and our revised assessment of the U.S. dollar value we expect to realize upon the conversion of the Venezuelan bolivar into U.S. dollars by our bottling partner to pay our receivables.

During the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recorded charges of $21 million and $268 million, respectively, related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, including a write-down of receivables from our bottling partner in Venezuela as well as our proportionate share of the charge incurred by our bottling partner in Venezuela, an equity method investee.

Restructuring and Transitioning Russian Juice Operations

During the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recorded a loss of $25 million related to restructuring and transitioning its Russian juice operations to an existing joint venture with an unconsolidated bottling partner.

Certain Tax Matters

During the three months ended July 3, 2015, the Company recorded a net tax charge of $16 million related to amounts required to be recorded for changes to our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recorded net tax charges of $26 million and $31 million, respectively, related to amounts required to be recorded for changes to our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties.

CURRENCY NEUTRAL

Management evaluates the operating performance of our Company and our international subsidiaries on a currency neutral basis. We determine our currency neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, our current period actual U.S. dollar operating results, normalizing for certain structural items in hyperinflationary economies, by the current period actual exchange rates (that include the impact of current period currency hedging activities), to derive our current period local currency operating results. We then multiply or divide, as appropriate, the derived current period local currency operating results by the foreign currency exchange rates (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) used to translate the Company's financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the foreign currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period.

ORGANIC REVENUE

Organic revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures (including structural changes), as applicable. The adjustments related to acquisitions and divestitures for the three and six months ended July 3, 2015 and June 27, 2014 consisted entirely of the structural changes discussed below.

STRUCTURAL CHANGES

Structural changes generally refer to acquisitions or dispositions of bottling, distribution or canning operations and consolidation or deconsolidation of bottling and distribution entities for accounting purposes. In 2015, the Company sold its global energy drink business to Monster; acquired Monster's non-energy drink business; acquired an equity interest in Monster; amended its current distribution coordination agreements with Monster to expand into additional territories; refranchised additional territories in North America to certain of its unconsolidated bottling partners; acquired a South African bottler; and sold a 10 percent interest in a Brazilian bottler. In 2014, the Company refranchised territories in North America to certain of its unconsolidated bottling partners; changed its process of buying and selling recyclable materials in North America; was impacted by a new provision enacted by the Venezuelan government which imposes a maximum threshold for profit margins; acquired bottling operations in Sri Lanka and Nepal; and restructured and transitioned its Russian juice operations to an existing joint venture with an unconsolidated bottling partner. Accordingly, these activities have been included as structural items in our analysis of the impact of these changes on certain line items in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
