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 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company identified an error in the treatment of a certain prior year deferred tax asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This resulted in an understatement of net noncurrent deferred income tax liability and an overstatement of retained earnings, and therefore equity, for each of the impacted periods. This error affected the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity as presented in each of the quarters of 2012, 2011 and 2010, including the year-end consolidated financial statements for 2011 and 2010. This resulted in an understatement of deferred income taxes and an overstatement of retained earnings for each of the impacted periods. In accordance with accounting guidance presented in ASC 250-10 (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality), the Company assessed the materiality of the error and concluded that it was not material to any of the Company’s previously issued financial statements taken as a whole. The Company has revised previously issued financial statements to correct the effect of this error. This revision did not affect the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for any of these periods.

⁽¹⁾	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.

2. Seasonality of Business

Historically, operating results for the second 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 Company’s 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.

Noncontrolling interest as of June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012 primarily represents the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company’s interest in Piedmont was 22.7% for all periods presented.

Property, plant and equipment, net	$	298,257	$	307,467	$	294,807

Depreciation and amortization expense, which includes amortization expense for leased property under capital leases, was $14.3 million and $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 (“Q2 2013”) and the second quarter of 2012 (“Q2 2012”), respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense, which includes amortization expense for leased property under capital leases, was $28.9 million and $30.8 million in the first half of 2013 (“YTD 2013”) and the first half of 2012 (“YTD 2012”), respectively.

The Company recognized a $1.2 million gain during the first quarter of 2013 on the sale of a distribution facility that was no longer in use. The gain on the sale of this property, plant and equipment was recorded in selling, delivery and administrative (S,D&A) expenses.

The Company changed the useful lives of certain cold drink dispensing equipment in the first quarter of 2013 to reflect the estimated remaining useful lives. The change in useful lives reduced depreciation expense in Q2 2013 and YTD 2013 by $0.5 million ($0.03 per basic and diluted Common Stock; $0.03 per basic and diluted Class B Common Stock) and $0.9 million ($0.06 per basic and diluted Common Stock; $0.06 per basic and diluted Class B Common Stock), respectively.

10. Debt

On September 21, 2011, the Company entered into a $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (“$200 million facility”) replacing the Company’s previous $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility. The $200 million facility has a scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2016 and up to $25 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an interest rate spread, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. The Company must pay an annual facility fee of .175% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the facility. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a cash flow/fixed charges ratio (“fixed charges coverage ratio”) and a funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio (“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 1.0 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1.0 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 June 30, 2013, the Company had $55.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility and had $145 million available to meet its cash requirements. On December 30, 2012, the Company had $30.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility. On July 1, 2012, 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, which is still in place, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days, 30 days, 60 days or 90 days at the discretion of the participating bank. On both June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had $20.0 million outstanding under the uncommitted line of credit at a weighted average interest rate of .94%. On July 1, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit.

The Company used a combination of available cash on hand, borrowings on the uncommitted line of credit and borrowings under the $200 million facility to repay $150 million of the Company’s senior notes that matured in November 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%, 5.9% and 6.1%, respectively, for its outstanding debt and capital lease obligations. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 5.7% for YTD 2013 compared to 6.1% for YTD 2012. As of June 30, 2013, $75.0 million of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $515.9 million were subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest

The Company uses derivatives from time to time to partially manage the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates on outstanding debt instruments.

The Company had no interest rate derivative contracts outstanding at June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012.

Commodities

The Company is subject to the risk of increased costs arising from adverse changes in certain 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 Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as “economic hedges” to manage commodity price risk. 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 Company’s 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 periodically uses derivative instruments to hedge part or all of its requirements for diesel fuel and aluminum. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company entered into agreements to hedge a portion of the Company’s 2013 aluminum purchases.

The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions. The Company did not have any offsetting derivative transactions with its counterparties on December 30, 2012. Accordingly, the gross amounts of derivative assets are recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet at December 30, 2012. The Company did not have any outstanding derivative transactions at June 30, 2013 or July 1, 2012.

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:

Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values due to the short maturity of these items.

Public Debt Securities

The fair values of the Company’s public debt securities are based on estimated current market prices.

Non-Public Variable Rate Debt

The carrying amounts of the Company’s variable rate borrowings approximate their fair values due to variable interest rates with short reset periods.

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 Company’s commodity hedging agreements are based on current settlement values. The fair values of the commodity 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.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s debt, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, and derivative financial instruments were as follows:


	June 30, 2013						Dec. 30, 2012						July 1, 2012
In Thousands	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Public debt securities	$	(373,475	)	$	(415,152	)	$	(373,386	)	$	(426,050	)	$	(523,301	)	$	(579,386	)

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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.

The fair value estimates of the Company’s debt are classified as Level 2. Public debt securities are valued using quoted market prices of the debt or debt with similar characteristics.

The following table summarizes, by assets and liabilities, the valuation of the Company’s deferred compensation plan and commodity hedging agreements:


	June 30, 2013				Dec. 30, 2012				July 1, 2012
In Thousands	Level 1		Level 2		Level 1		Level 2		Level 1		Level 2
Assets
Deferred compensation plan assets	$	14,801			$	13,011			$	12,164
Commodity hedging agreements			$	0			$	500			$	0
Liabilities
Deferred compensation plan liabilities		14,801				13,011				12,164

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 fair values of the Company’s commodity hedging agreements are based upon rates from public commodity exchanges 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 YTD 2013 and YTD 2012.

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 SAC’s and Southeastern’s debt. The amounts guaranteed were $37.6 million, $35.9 million and $37.8 million as of June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012, respectively. The Company holds no assets as collateral against these guarantees, the fair value of which is immaterial. The guarantees relate to the debt of SAC and Southeastern, which resulted primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities. These guarantees expire at various dates through 2023. The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca-Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill its 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 its products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Company’s guarantees. In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt, 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 aggregate borrowing capacity, the Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees on June 30, 2013 would have been $23.9 million for SAC and $25.3 million for Southeastern and the Company’s maximum total exposure, including its equity investment, would have been $28.0 million for SAC and $46.1 million for Southeastern.

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 June 30, 2013, SAC had total assets of approximately $44 million and total debt of approximately $24 million. SAC had total revenues for YTD 2013 of approximately $91 million. As of June 30, 2013, Southeastern had total assets of approximately $367 million and total debt of approximately $164 million. Southeastern had total revenue for YTD 2013 of approximately $344 million.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. On June 30, 2013, these letters of credit totaled $23.1 million. The Company was required to maintain $4.5 million of restricted cash for letters of credit beginning in the second quarter of 2009, which was reduced to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 and to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. The requirement to maintain restricted cash for these letters of credit was eliminated in the first quarter of 2012.

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 June 30, 2013 amounted to $36.9 million and expire at various dates through 2022.

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.

Income tax expense	$	9,794		$	12,037

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $5.9 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $3.4 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of December 30, 2012, the Company had $5.5 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $3.0 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of July 1, 2012, the Company had $5.1 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $2.6 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect any change to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012, and July 1, 2012, the Company had $.6 million, $.5 million and $.5 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense included interest expense of $.1 million in both YTD 2013 and YTD 2012.

The American Taxpayer Relief Act (“Act”) was signed into law on January 2, 2013. The Act approved a retroactive extension of certain favorable business and energy tax provisions that had expired at the end of 2011 that are applicable to the Company. The Company recorded a reduction to income tax expense totaling $.4 million related to the Act in YTD 2013, which is included in the other, net line of the reconciliation of income tax expense table.

15. Income Taxes

In YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $.1 million and $.8 million, respectively. The net effect of both adjustments was an increase to income tax expense. The increase to the valuation allowance was primarily due to the Company’s assessment of its ability to use certain net operating loss carryforwards.

Tax years from 2009 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years from 1994 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject due to loss carryforwards.

The Company’s income tax assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment in future periods based on the Company’s ongoing evaluations of such assets and liabilities and new information that becomes available to the Company.

16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

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 Company’s stockholders. In the event of liquidation, there is no preference between the two classes of common stock.

On April 29, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for J. Frank Harrison, III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, consisting of 400,000 performance units (“Units”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Units are subject to vesting in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The number of Units that vest each year equals the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal achievement factor (not to exceed 100%) under the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan.

Each annual 40,000 Unit tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not established until the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved each year by the Compensation Committee of the 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 Company’s 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.

On March 5, 2013 and March 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee determined that 40,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock should be issued in each year pursuant to a Performance Unit Award Agreement to J. Frank Harrison, III, in connection with his services in 2012 and 2011, respectively, as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As permitted under the terms of the Performance Unit Award Agreement, 19,880 and 17,680 of such shares were settled in cash in 2013 and 2012, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the performance units.

17. Capital Transactions

The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in YTD 2013 and YTD 2012 was due to the issuance of the 20,120 and 22,320 shares, respectively, of Class B Common Stock related to the Performance Unit Award Agreement in each year.

Compensation expense for the Performance Unit Award Agreement recognized in YTD 2013 was $1.2 million, which was based upon a common stock share price of $61.15 on June 28, 2013. Compensation expense for the Performance Unit Award Agreement recognized in YTD 2012 was $1.3 million, which was based upon a common stock share price of $64.28 on June 29, 2012.

18. Benefit Plans

Pension Plans

Retirement benefits under the two Company-sponsored pension plans are based on the employee’s 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.

The components of net periodic pension cost were as follows:


	Second Quarter						First Half
In Thousands	2013			2012			2013			2012
Service cost	$	32		$	27		$	64		$	55
Interest cost		3,086			3,123			6,172			6,247
Expected return on plan assets		(3,547	)		(2,972	)		(7,094	)		(5,945	)
Amortization of prior service cost		4			5			8			10
Recognized net actuarial loss		838			694			1,676			1,387

Net periodic pension cost	$	413		$	877		$	826		$	1,754

The Company made no contributions to the Company-sponsored pension plans during YTD 2013. Anticipated contributions for the two Company-sponsored pension plans will be in the range of $2 million to $4 million during the remainder of 2013.

Subsequent to Q2 2013, the Company announced a limited Lump Sum Window distribution of present valued pension benefits to certain terminated plan participants that meet certain criteria. The benefit election window will be open during the third quarter of 2013 and benefit distributions will be made before the end of 2013. Dependent upon the number of plan participants electing to take a distribution, and the total amount of such distributions, the Company may incur a non-cash charge. The distribution of these benefit payments will reduce the cost of administering the pension plan in the future.

18. Benefit Plans

Postretirement Benefits

The Company provides postretirement benefits for a portion of its current employees. The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist principally of medical benefits, during employees’ periods of active service. The Company does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate certain of these benefits in the future.

The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost were as follows:


	Second Quarter						First Half
In Thousands	2013			2012			2013			2012
Service cost	$	413		$	316		$	826		$	632

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost	$	1,450		$	1,331		$	2,900		$	2,662

401(k) Savings Plan

The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of its full-time employees who are not part of collective bargaining agreements.

During 2012, the Company changed the Company’s 401(k) Saving Plan matching contribution from fixed to discretionary, maintaining the option to make matching contributions for eligible participants of up to 5% based on the Company’s financial results for 2012 and future years. The 5% matching contribution was accrued during 2012. Based on the Company’s financial results, the Company decided to match 5% of eligible participants’ contributions for the entire year of 2012. The Company made this contribution payment for 2012 in the first quarter of 2013. The Company continued to accrue the 5% discretionary matching contribution for YTD 2013, as this is the best estimate of the Company’s probable obligation. The total expense for this benefit was $3.8 million and $4.3 million in YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, respectively.

Multi-Employer Benefits

The Company currently has a liability to a multi-employer pension plan related to the Company’s exit from the plan in 2008. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a liability of $9.5 million recorded. The Company is required to make payments of approximately $1 million each year through 2028 to this multi-employer pension plan.

22. Risks and Uncertainties

Approximately 88% of the Company’s YTD 2013 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 Company’s YTD 2013 bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of other beverage companies or those owned by 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 Company’s products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and other outlets. During both YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, approximately 68% of the Company’s bottle/can volume to retail customers was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. The Company’s largest customers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 21% and 8%, respectively, of the Company’s total bottle/can volume to retail customers in YTD 2013; and accounted for approximately 22% and 8%, respectively, of the Company’s total bottle/can volume to retail customers in YTD 2012. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately 14% and 15% of the Company’s total net sales during YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, respectively. No other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company’s total net sales for YTD 2013 or YTD 2012.

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 crude oil which impacts the Company’s cost of fuel used in the movement and delivery of the Company’s 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, retirement benefit obligations and the Company’s pension liability.

Approximately 7% of the Company’s labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements. One collective bargaining agreement covering approximately .4% of the Company’s employees expired during 2012 and the Company entered into a new agreement during 2012. One collective bargaining agreement covering approximately .3% of the Company’s employees expired during the first quarter of 2013 and the Company entered into a new agreement in the first quarter of 2013. One collective bargaining agreement covering approximately .4% of the Company’s employees will expire in the fourth quarter of 2013.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance that is intended to enhance current disclosures on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The new guidance requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments eligible for offset on the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance which establishes new requirements for disclosing reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The new guidance requires a company to report the effect of significant reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to the respective line items in net income or cross-reference to other disclosures for items not reclassified entirely to net income. The new guidance was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new guidance expands disclosure of other comprehensive income but does not change the manner in which items of other comprehensive income are accounted or the way in which net income or other comprehensive income is reported in the financial statements. The Company elected to report this information within the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued new guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the requirements of this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (“the Company”) identified an error in the treatment of a certain prior year deferred tax asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This resulted in an understatement of the net noncurrent deferred income tax liability and an overstatement of retained earnings, and therefore equity, for each of the impacted periods. This error affected the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity as presented in each of the quarters of 2012. The Company has revised prior period financial statements to correct this immaterial error. Refer to Note 1 Significant Accounting Policies – Revision of Prior Financial Statements for further details. This revision did not affect the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for any of these periods. The discussion and analysis included herein is based on the financial results (and revised Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity) for the periods ended June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“M,D&A”) of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. M,D&A includes the following sections:

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 primarily consists of The Coca-Cola Company’s interest in Piedmont, which was 22.7% for all periods presented.

The Company announced on April 16, 2013 that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent with The Coca-Cola Company to expand the Company’s franchise territory. The letter of intent provides the Company the opportunity to obtain additional distribution rights in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky which include major markets, Knoxville, TN and Lexington and Louisville, KY. Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company, currently serves this territory. The proposed transaction for acquiring distribution rights to the expanded territory would be accomplished by a sub-bottling arrangement with CCR under which the Company would make ongoing payments to CCR in exchange for the exclusive distribution rights in the territory. CCR would also transfer its rights in the territory to distribute brands not owned by The Coca-Cola Company to the Company as part of the transaction. In addition to territory rights, the Company would also acquire distribution assets and certain working capital from CCR relating to the expanded territory. The Company would not acquire any production assets from CCR. The new territory will be covered by a new form of comprehensive beverage agreement between the parties. This proposed transaction with The Coca-Cola Company is subject to the parties reaching definitive agreements by the end of 2013 with closing of the transaction expected during the latter part of 2014. There is no assurance, however, that the definitive agreements will be reached and the closing of the proposed transaction will occur.

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 largest independent 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 full year net sales of $1.6 billion in 2012.

The nonalcoholic beverage market is highly competitive. The Company’s 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. The sparkling beverage category (including energy products) represents approximately 81% of the Company’s YTD 2013 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 second quarter and first half 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 Company’s 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 YTD 2013, the Company did not experience any triggering events or changes in circumstances that indicated the carrying amounts of the Company’s franchise rights or goodwill exceeded fair values. As such, the Company has not recognized any impairments of franchise rights or goodwill.

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 Company’s results of operations.

Product Innovation and Beverage Portfolio Expansion

Innovation of both new brands and packages has been and is expected to continue to be important to the Company’s overall revenue. New packaging introductions over the last several years include the 1.25-liter bottle, the 7.5-ounce sleek can and the 2-liter contour bottle for Coca-Cola products.

The Company has invested in its own brand portfolio with products such as Tum-E Yummies, a vitamin C enhanced flavored drink, and Fuel in a Bottle power shots. These brands enable the Company to participate in strong growth categories and capitalize on distribution channels that may include the Company’s traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory as well as third party distributors outside the Company’s traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory. While the growth prospects of Company-owned or exclusively 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 $99.3 million and $100.1 million in YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, 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 efficiently handle an increasing number 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 Company’s selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A”) expense management relates to ongoing improvements in labor productivity and asset productivity.

The Company’s net sales decreased .4% in Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012. The Company’s net sales increased .6% in YTD 2013 compared to YTD 2012. The decrease in net sales in Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012 was primarily due to a 2.1% decrease in bottle/can volume to retail customers partially offset by an 18.0% increase in sales volume to other Coca-Cola bottlers. The increase in net sales in YTD 2013 compared to YTD 2012 was primarily due to a 20.2% increase in sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers and a .7% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit partially offset by a 2.1% decrease in bottle/can volume to retail customers. The decreases in bottle/can volume to retail customers were primarily due to volume

decreases in sparkling beverages while the increases in sales volume to other Coca-Cola bottlers were primarily due to volume increases in sparkling can beverages. The Company’s bottle/can volume to retail customers was impacted by cooler and wetter than normal weather in most the Company’s territories during 2013. The Company’s sales volume increases to other Coca-Cola bottlers were primarily due to the closing of a can production facility by another Coca-Cola bottler; the Company replaced part of the closed facility’s production.

Gross margin dollars decreased 1.8% in Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012. The Company’s gross margin percentage decreased to 39.7% in Q2 2013 from 40.3% in Q2 2012. Gross margin dollars decreased 1.5% in YTD 2013 compared to YTD 2012. The Company’s gross margin percentage decreased to 39.9% in YTD 2013 from 40.7% in YTD 2012. The decreases in gross margin percentage were primarily due to higher sales volume to other Coca-Cola bottlers which has lower gross margin than bottle/can sales to retail customers.

The following inputs represent a substantial portion of the Company’s total cost of sales: (1) sweeteners, (2) packaging materials, including plastic bottles and aluminum cans, and (3) finished products purchased from other vendors. The Company anticipates that the costs of some of the underlying commodities related to these inputs will have a minimum increase in 2013 compared to 2012.

S,D&A expenses decreased 1.0% in Q2 2013 from Q2 2012. The decrease in S,D&A expenses in Q2 2013 from Q2 2012 was attributable primarily to decreases in bonus and incentive expenses, decreased marketing expense and decreased depreciation and amortization expense of property, plant and equipment partially offset by increased employee salaries and wages and increased employee benefit costs (primarily medical insurance). S,D&A expenses decreased .1% in YTD 2013 from YTD 2012. The decrease in S,D&A expenses in YTD 2013 from YTD 2012 was attributable primarily to decreased depreciation and amortization expense of property, plant and equipment, gain on the sale of a distribution facility that was no longer used and decreased marketing expense partially offset by increased employee salaries and wages, increased employee benefit costs (primarily medical insurance) and increased software amortization expense.

Net interest expense decreased 18.5% in YTD 2013 compared to YTD 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment at maturity of $150 million of Senior Notes in November 2012. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations decreased to 5.7% during YTD 2013 from 6.1% during YTD 2012.

Income tax expense decreased 18.6% in YTD 2013 as compared to YTD 2012. The decrease to income tax expense was primarily due to a reduction of $.4 million associated with the American Taxpayer Relief Act enacted on January 2, 2013 and a lower adjustment to the valuation allowance in YTD 2013 of $.1 million as compared to $.8 million in YTD 2012.

Net debt and capital lease obligations were summarized as follows:


In Thousands	June 30, 2013		Dec. 30, 2012		July 1, 2012

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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 December 30, 2012 a discussion of the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s 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 YTD 2013. 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.

The Company’s bottle/can volume was impacted by cooler and wetter than normal weather in most of the Company’s territories during YTD 2013. The Company’s sales volume increases to other Coca-Cola bottlers were primarily due to the closing of a can production facility by another bottler; the Company replaced part of the closed facility’s production.

In YTD 2013, the Company’s bottle/can sales to retail customers accounted for approximately 80% of the Company’s total net sales. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers 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.

Product category sales volume in Q2 2013 and Q2 2012 and YTD 2013 and YTD 2012 as a percentage of total bottle/can sales volume and the percentage change by product category was as follows:


	Bottle/Can Sales Volume						Bottle/Can Sales Volume
Product Category	Q2 2013			Q2 2012			% Increase (Decrease)
Sparkling beverages (including energy products)		79.6	%		81.4	%	(4.4)
Still beverages		20.4	%		18.6	%	7.5

Total bottle/can sales volume		100.0	%		100.0	%	(2.1)

Still beverages		18.6	%		17.0	%	6.7

Total bottle/can sales volume		100.0	%		100.0	%	(2.1)

The Company’s products are sold and distributed through various channels. They include selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. During both YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, approximately 68% of the Company’s bottle/can volume was sold for future

consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. The Company’s largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 21% and 22% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume during YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, respectively. The Company’s second largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 8% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume during both YTD 2013 and YTD 2012. All of the Company’s beverage sales are to customers in the United States.

The Company recorded delivery fees in net sales of $3.1 million and $3.5 million in YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, respectively. These fees are used to offset a portion of the Company’s 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 .5%, or $1.4 million, to $258.7 million in Q2 2013 compared to $257.3 million in Q2 2012. Cost of sales increased 2.0%, or $9.7 million, to $488.6 million in YTD 2013 compared to $478.9 million in YTD 2012.

The increase in cost of sales for Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012 was principally attributable to the following:

The Company entered into an agreement (the “Incidence Pricing Agreement”) in 2008 with The Coca-Cola Company to test an incidence-based concentrate pricing model for 2008 for all Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and Allied Beverages for which the Company purchases concentrate from The Coca-Cola Company. During the term of the Incidence Pricing Agreement, the pricing of the concentrates for the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and Allied Beverages is governed by the Incidence Pricing Agreement rather than the Cola and Allied Beverage Agreements. The concentrate price under the Incidence Pricing Agreement is impacted by a number of factors including the Company’s pricing of finished products, the channels in which the finished products are sold and package mix. The Coca-Cola Company must give the Company at least 90 days written notice before changing the price the Company pays for the concentrate. The Incidence Pricing Agreement has been extended twice and will remain in effect for the purchase of concentrate through December 31, 2013.

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 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 Company’s 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 $13.3 million for Q2 2013 compared to $13.9 million for Q2 2012. 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 $25.2 million for YTD 2013 compared to $26.3 million for YTD 2012.

Gross Margin

Gross margin dollars decreased 1.8%, or $3.1 million, to $170.3 million in Q2 2013 compared to $173.4 million in Q2 2012. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 39.7% for Q2 2013 from 40.3% for Q2 2012. Gross margin dollars decreased 1.5%, or $5.0 million, to $324.0 million in YTD 2013 compared to $329.0 million in YTD 2012. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 39.9% for YTD 2013 from 40.7% for YTD 2012.

The decrease in gross margin dollars for Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012 was principally attributable to the following:


Q2 2013			Attributable to:
(In Millions)

The decrease in gross margin percentage in YTD 2013 compared to YTD 2012 was primarily due to higher sales volume to other Coca-Cola bottlers which has lower gross margin than bottle/can retail sales.

The Company’s gross margins may not be comparable to other peer companies, since some of them 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 decreased by $1.5 million, or 1.0%, to $143.4 million in Q2 2013 from $144.9 million in Q2 2012. S,D&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 33.4% in Q2 2013 from 33.6% in Q2 2012. S,D&A expenses decreased by $.2 million, or .1%, to $281.6 million in YTD 2013 from $281.8 million in YTD 2012. S,D&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 34.7% in YTD 2013 from 34.9% in YTD 2012.

The decrease in S,D&A expenses for Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012 was principally attributable to the following:

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 $99.3 million and $100.1 million in YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, respectively.

The Company’s expense recorded in S,D&A expenses related to the two Company-sponsored pension plans decreased by $.4 million to $.3 million in Q2 2013 from $.7 million in Q2 2012 and by $.8 million to $.7 million in YTD 2013 from $1.5 million in YTD 2012.

The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of the Company’s full-time employees who are not part of collective bargaining agreements. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan matching contribution from fixed to discretionary, maintaining the option to make matching contributions for eligible participants of up to 5% based on the Company’s financial results for 2012 and future years. The 5% matching contribution was accrued during 2012. Based on the Company’s

financial results, the Company decided to match 5% of eligible participants’ contributions for the entire year of 2012. The Company made this contribution for 2012 in the first quarter of 2013. The total costs recorded in S,D&A expenses for this benefit in YTD 2013 and YTD 2012 were $3.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The Company used its best estimate of the Company’s probable obligation for these periods.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense decreased 18.4% in Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012. Net interest expense decreased 18.5% in YTD 2013 compared to YTD 2012. The decreases were primarily due to the repayment at maturity of $150 million of Senior Notes in November 2012. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations decreased to 5.7% during YTD 2013 from 6.1% during YTD 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes, for YTD 2013 and YTD 2012 was 35.5% and 41.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes minus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, for YTD 2013 and YTD 2012 was 37.8% and 44.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for YTD 2013 resulted primarily from certain favorable tax provisions associated with the American Taxpayer Relief Act enacted on January 2, 2013 and a reduced impact to the change in the valuation allowance.

In YTD 2013 and YTD 2012, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $.1 million and $.8 million, respectively. The net effect of both adjustments was an increase to income tax expense due primarily to the Company’s assessment of its ability to use certain net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the remainder of 2013 is dependent upon the results of operations and may change if the results in 2013 are different from current expectations.

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company recorded net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $1.7 million in both YTD 2013 and YTD 2012 primarily related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased to $1.33 billion at June 30, 2013, from $1.28 billion at December 30, 2012 primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and inventories offset by a decrease in property, plant and equipment, net.

Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, increased by $46.4 million to $71.4 million at June 30, 2013 from December 30, 2012 and increased by $49.7 million at June 30, 2013 from July 1, 2012.

Significant changes in net working capital from December 30, 2012 were as follows:

•

An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million primarily due to borrowings from the Company’s $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (“$200 million facility”).

•

An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $17.8 million primarily due to normal seasonal increase in sales.

•

An increase in accounts receivable from and an increase in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola Company of $9.6 million and $22.0 million, respectively, primarily due to the timing of payments.

•

An increase in inventories of $9.4 million primarily due to normal seasonal increase in sales.

•

A decrease in accrued compensation of $13.8 million primarily due to the payment of bonuses in March 2013.

Significant changes in net working capital from July 1, 2012 were as follows:

•

A decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $52.6 million primarily due to the repayment of senior notes in November 2012 offset by subsequent borrowings.

•

A decrease in current portion of long-term debt of $100.0 million due to the repayment of $150 million of senior notes that matured in November 2012. At July 1, 2012, $120 million of the $150 million Senior Notes due 2012 was classified as current as this was the expected amount to be paid from available cash plus amounts borrowed from an uncommitted line of credit. The remaining $30 million of senior notes due in 2012 was expected to be paid from amounts to be borrowed on the Company’s $200 million facility.

•

An increase in accounts payable, trade of $6.2 million primarily due to the timing of payments.

•

A decrease in other accrued liabilities of $6.6 million primarily due to a decrease in accrued income taxes.

Debt and capital lease obligations were $515.9 million as of June 30, 2013 compared to $493.0 million as of December 30, 2012 and $595.3 million as of July 1, 2012. Debt and capital lease obligations as of June 30, 2013 included $67.5 million of capital lease obligations related primarily to Company facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

The Company’s sources of capital include cash flows from operations, available credit facility balances 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 for at least the next 12 months. The amount and frequency of future dividends will be determined by the Company’s 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 June 30, 2013, the Company had $145 million available under the $200 million facility to meet its cash requirements. The $200 million facility has a scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2016 and up to $25 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an interest rate spread, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. The Company must pay an annual facility fee of .175% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the facility. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a cash flow/fixed charges ratio (“fixed charges coverage ratio”) and a funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio (“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 1.0 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1.0 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. The Company currently believes that all of the banks participating in the $200 million facility have the ability to and will meet any funding requests from the Company.

In November 2012, the Company used a combination of available cash on hand, borrowings on the uncommitted line of credit and borrowings under the $200 million facility to repay $150 million of senior notes. The Company classified $30 million of these senior notes as long-term at July 1, 2012 which represented the portion of the series of maturing senior notes that the Company expected at such time to repay from borrowings under the $200 million facility.

The Company has obtained the majority of its long-term financing, other than capital leases, from public markets. As of June 30, 2013, $373.5 million of the Company’s total outstanding balance of debt and capital lease obligations of $515.9 million was financed through publicly offered debt. The Company had capital lease obligations of $67.5 million as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $55.0 million outstanding under the $200 million facility and $20.0 million outstanding under the Company’s uncommitted line of credit.

Cash Sources and Uses

The primary sources of cash for the Company have been cash provided by operating activities and available credit facilities. The primary uses of cash have been for capital expenditures, the payment of debt and capital lease obligations, dividend payments and income tax payments.

A summary of activity for YTD 2013 and YTD 2012 follows:

Based on current projections, the Company anticipates its cash requirements for income taxes will be in the range of $7 million to $14 million the remainder of 2013.

Operating Activities

During YTD 2013, cash flow provided by operating activities increased by $8.9 million compared to YTD 2012. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily due to $15.7 million in pension payments made in YTD 2012 compared to no pension payments in YTD 2013. These increases in cash flow provided by operating activities were offset by a $3.8 million increase in income tax payments.

Investing Activities

Additions to property, plant and equipment during YTD 2013 were $21.7 million of which $2.5 million were accrued in accounts payable, trade as unpaid. This compared to $21.0 million in total additions to property, plant and equipment during YTD 2012 of which $1.7 million were accrued in accounts payable, trade as unpaid. Capital expenditures during YTD 2013 were funded with cash flows from operations and available credit facilities. The Company anticipates total additions to property, plant and equipment in fiscal year 2013 will be in the range of $60 million to $70 million. 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

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $145 million available under the $200 million facility to meet its short-term borrowing requirements. The $200 million facility has a scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2016 and up to $25 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an interest rate spread, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. The Company must pay an annual facility fee of .175% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the facility. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a cash flow/fixed charges ratio (“fixed charges coverage ratio”) and a funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio (“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 1.0 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1.0 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. The Company currently believes that all of the banks participating in the Company’s $200 million facility have the ability to and will meet any funding requests from the Company. On June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had $55.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility. On July 1, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility.

During YTD 2013, the Company’s net borrowings under its $200 million facility increased $25.0 million to fund seasonal working capital requirements and capital expenditures. During YTD 2012, the Company used cash on hand to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. Under this agreement, which is still in place, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days, 30 days, 60 days or 90 days at the discretion of the participating bank. On both June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had $20.0 million outstanding under the uncommitted line of credit. On July 1, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit.

In November 2012, the Company used a combination of available cash on hand, borrowings on the $20 million uncommitted line of credit and borrowings under the $200 million facility to repay $150 million of maturing senior notes. The Company classified $30 million of these senior notes at July 1, 2012 as long-term, which amount represented the portion of the maturing senior notes that the Company expected at such time to repay from borrowings under the $200 million facility. The Company’s next maturity of outstanding long-term debt is the $100 million Senior Notes due April 2015.

All of the outstanding debt on the Company’s balance sheet has been issued by the Company with none having been issued by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt. The Company or its subsidiaries have entered into eight capital leases.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s credit ratings were as follows:


		Long-Term Debt
Standard & Poor’s		BBB
Moody’s		Baa2

The Company’s credit ratings, which the Company is disclosing to enhance understanding of the Company’s sources of liquidity and the effect of the Company’s rating on the Company’s cost of funds, are reviewed periodically by the respective rating agencies. Changes in the Company’s operating results or financial position could result in changes in the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 indentures under which the Company’s public debt was issued do not include financial covenants but do limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a member of two manufacturing cooperatives and has guaranteed $37.6 million of debt for these entities as of June 30, 2013. 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 Company’s guarantees. As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s maximum exposure, if the entities borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $74.1 million including the Company’s equity interests. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about these entities.

(6)	Purchase orders include commitments in which a written purchase order has been issued to a vendor, but the goods have not been received or the services have not been performed.

The Company has $5.9 million of uncertain tax positions including accrued interest, as of June 30, 2013 (excluded from other long-term liabilities in the table above because the Company is uncertain as to if or when such amounts will be recognized) of which $3.4 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect any 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 (“Southeastern”), 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 Company’s table of contractual obligations and commercial commitments since there are no minimum purchase requirements. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to Southeastern.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company has $23.1 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 did not make contributions to the Company-sponsored pension plans in YTD 2013. Based on information currently available, the Company anticipates cash contributions during the remainder of 2013 will be between approximately $2 million and $4 million. Postretirement medical care payments are expected to be approximately $3 million in 2013. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to pension and postretirement obligations.

Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Hedging

As of June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012, the weighted average interest rate of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations was 5.7%, 5.9% and 6.1%, respectively, for its outstanding debt and capital lease obligations. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations decreased to 5.7% in YTD 2013 from 6.1% in YTD 2012. As of June 30, 2013, $75.0 million of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $515.9 million was maintained on a floating rate basis or was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

Commodity Hedging

The Company entered into derivative instruments to hedge certain commodity purchases for 2013. The Company paid fees for these instruments which were amortized over the corresponding period of the instrument. The Company accounts for its commodity hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income reflected as an adjustment of cost of sales or S,D&A expenses.

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.

The net impact of the commodity hedges was to increase the cost of sales by $.9 million in YTD 2013.

There were no outstanding commodity agreements as of June 30, 2013.

•

the Company’s belief that innovation of new brands and packages will continue to be critical to the Company’s overall revenue;

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 Company’s 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 counterparties to these interest rate hedging arrangements were major financial institutions with which the Company also had other financial relationships. The Company did not have any interest rate hedging products as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, $75.0 million of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $515.9 million were subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

As it relates to the Company’s variable rate debt, assuming no changes in the Company’s financial structure, if market interest rates average 1% more over the next twelve months than the interest rates as of June 30, 2013, interest expense for the next twelve months would increase by approximately $.8 million. This amount was determined by calculating the effect of the hypothetical interest rate on the Company’s variable rate debt. 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 Company’s floating debt.

Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk

The Company is also subject to commodity price risk arising from price movements for certain 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 periodically uses 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 $22 million assuming no change in volume.

In the third quarter of 2012, the Company entered into agreements to hedge a portion of the Company’s 2013 aluminum purchases. The Company paid a fee for these instruments which was 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. The agreements expired in YTD 2013 and there were no outstanding commodity agreements as of June 30, 2013.

Effects of Changing Prices

The annual rate of inflation in the United States, as measured by year-over-year changes in the consumer price index, was 1.7% in 2012 compared to 3.0% in 2011 and 1.5% in 2010. Inflation in the prices of those commodities important to the Company’s business is reflected in changes in the consumer price index, but commodity prices are volatile and have in recent years increased at a faster rate than the rate of inflation as measured by the consumer price index.

The principal effect of inflation in both commodity and consumer prices on the Company’s operating results is to increase costs, both of goods sold and selling, delivery and administrative costs. Although the

Company can offset these cost increases by increasing selling prices for its products, consumers may not have the buying power to cover these increased costs and may reduce their volume of purchases of those products. In that event, selling price increases may not be sufficient to offset completely the Company’s cost increases.

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 Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “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 that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
