FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains information that may constitute "forward-looking statements." Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "will" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to volume growth, share of sales and earnings per share growth, and statements expressing general views about future operating results — are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. Our Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Company's historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of The Coca-Cola Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
When used in these notes, the terms "The Coca-Cola Company," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean The Coca-Cola Company and all entities included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 29, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . Sales of our nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages are somewhat seasonal, with the second and third calendar quarters accounting for the highest sales volumes. The volume of sales in the beverage business may be affected by weather conditions.
Each of our interim reporting periods, other than the fourth interim reporting period, ends on the Friday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. The first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2018 ended on March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , respectively. Our fourth interim reporting period and our fiscal year end on December 31 regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.
Operating Segments
In January 2019, we established a new operating segment, Global Ventures, which includes the results of Costa Limited ("Costa"), which we acquired in January 2019, and the results of our innocent and doğadan businesses as well as fees earned pursuant to distribution coordination agreements between the Company and Monster Beverage Corporation ("Monster"). Accordingly, all prior period operating segment and Corporate information presented herein has been adjusted to reflect this change in our organizational structure. Refer to Note 17 .
As of March 29, 2019 , our organizational structure consisted of the following operating segments: Europe, Middle East and Africa; Latin America; North America; Asia Pacific; Global Ventures; and Bottling Investments. Our operating structure also included Corporate, which consists of two components: (1) a center focused on strategic initiatives, policy and governance, and (2) an enabling services organization focused on both simplifying and standardizing key transactional processes and providing support to business units through global centers of excellence.
Advertising Costs
The Company's accounting policy related to advertising costs for annual reporting purposes is to expense production costs of print, radio, television and other advertisements as of the first date the advertisements take place. All other marketing expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.
For interim reporting purposes, we allocate our estimated full year marketing expenditures that benefit multiple interim periods to each of our interim reporting periods. We use the proportion of each interim period's actual unit case volume to the estimated full year unit case volume as the basis for the allocation. This methodology results in our marketing expenditures being recognized at a standard rate per unit case. At the end of each interim reporting period, we review our estimated full year unit case volume and our estimated full year marketing expenditures that benefit multiple interim periods in order to evaluate if a change in estimate is necessary. The impact of any changes in these full year estimates is recognized in the interim period in which the change in estimate occurs. Our full year marketing expenditures are not impacted by this interim accounting policy.

6



Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of goods from our manufacturing locations to our sales distribution centers are included in the line item cost of goods sold in our consolidated statement of income. Shipping and handling costs incurred to move goods from our manufacturing locations or sales distribution centers to our customers are also included in the line item cost of goods sold in our consolidated statement of income, except for costs incurred to distribute goods sold by our Company-owned bottlers to our customers, which are included in the line item selling, general and administrative expenses. Our customers generally do not pay us separately for shipping and handling costs. Effective January 1, 2018 , we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") . Upon adoption, we made a policy election to recognize the cost of shipping and handling activities that are performed after a customer obtains control of the goods as costs to fulfill our promise to provide goods to the customer. As a result of this election, the Company does not evaluate whether shipping and handling activities are services promised to customers. If revenue is recognized for the related goods before the shipping and handling activities occur, the related costs of those shipping and handling activities are accrued. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding revenue recognition.
Sales, Use, Value-Added and Excise Taxes
The Company collects taxes imposed directly on its customers related to sales, use, value-added, excise and other similar taxes. The Company then remits such taxes on behalf of its customers to the applicable governmental authorities. Upon adoption of ASC 606, we made a policy election to exclude from net operating revenues the tax amounts imposed on revenue-producing transactions that were collected from our customers to be remitted to governmental authorities. Accordingly, such tax amounts are recorded in the line item trade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheet when collection of taxes from the customer has not yet occurred and are recorded in the line item accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet until they are remitted to the applicable governmental authorities. Taxes imposed directly on the Company, whether based on receipts from sales, inventory procurement costs or manufacturing activities, are recorded in the line item cost of goods sold in our consolidated statement of income. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding revenue recognition.
Leases
Effective  January 1, 2019 , we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842,  Leases  ("ASC 842"). We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances.
Lessee
We are the lessee in a lease contract when we obtain the right to control the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our consolidated statement of income. We determine the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our local incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. When our contracts contain lease and non-lease components, we account for both components as a single lease component. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion.
Lessor
We have various arrangements for certain fountain equipment under which we are the lessor. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents
We classify time deposits and other investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of
purchase as cash equivalents or restricted cash equivalents, as applicable. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents
generally consist of amounts held by our captive insurance companies, which are included in the line item other assets on our
consolidated balance sheet, and amounts classified in assets held for sale and assets held for sale discontinued operations.
We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of
counterparties and procedures to monitor our concentrations of credit risk.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize operating lease ROU assets, representing their right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method and utilized the optional transition method under

8



which we continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases , including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative period presented. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which permits us to carry forward the historical lease classification, among other things. As a result of the adoption, our operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities were $1,242 million and $1,268 million , respectively, as of March 29, 2019 , which include preliminary amounts recorded resulting from the acquisition of Costa in January 2019. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated statement of income or our consolidated statement of cash flows. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion.
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-12,  Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires companies to recognize all elements of hedge accounting that impact earnings in the same line item in the statement of income where the hedged item resides. The amendments in this update include new alternatives for measuring the hedged item for fair value hedges of interest rate risk and ease the requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and applying the critical terms match method. We adopted ASU 2017-12 effective  January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. We recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease the opening balance of reinvested earnings as of  January 1, 2019  by  $12 million , net of tax. Refer to  Note 6  for additional disclosures required by this ASU.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,  Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits entities to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Reform Act") on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to reinvested earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as "stranded tax effects." The amendments in this update only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Other accounting guidance that requires the effect of changes in tax laws or rates to be included in net income from continuing operations is not affected by this update. We adopted ASU 2018-02 effective  January 1, 2019 . We recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to increase the opening balance of reinvested earnings as of  January 1, 2019  by  $513 million .
NOTE 2 : ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , our Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $ 5,201 million , which included the acquisition of Costa and the remaining equity ownership interest in C.H.I. Limited ("CHI"), a Nigerian producer of value-added dairy and juice beverages and iced tea.
During the three months ended March 30, 2018 , our Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $183 million , which primarily related to the acquisition of additional interests in the Company’s franchise bottlers in the United Arab Emirates and in Oman, both of which were previously equity method investees of the Company. As a result of the additional interest acquired in the Oman bottler, we obtained a controlling interest, resulting in its consolidation.
Costa Limited
In January 2019, the Company acquired Costa in exchange for $4.9 billion of cash, net of cash acquired. Costa is a coffee company with retail outlets in over 30 countries, the Costa Express vending system and a state-of-the-art roastery. We believe this acquisition will allow us to increase our presence in the hot beverage market as Costa has a scalable platform across multiple formats and channels, including opportunities to introduce ready-to-drink products. As of March 29, 2019 , $2.4 billion of the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the Costa trademark and $2.5 billion was preliminarily allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition is primarily related to synergistic value created from the opportunity for additional expansion as well as our ability to market and distribute Costa in ready-to-drink form throughout our bottling system. It also includes certain other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. The goodwill is not tax deductible and has been assigned to the Global Ventures operating segment. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement when valuations are finalized. As of March 29, 2019 , the valuations that have not been finalized primarily relate to intangible assets, operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities and certain fixed assets. The final purchase price allocation will be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the first quarter of 2020.
CHI Limited
In January 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 60 percent interest in CHI in exchange for $260 million of cash, net of cash acquired, under the terms of the agreement for our original investment in CHI. Upon consolidation, we recognized a net charge of $121 million , which included the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest in CHI to fair value and the reversal of the related cumulative translation adjustments. The fair value of our previously held equity investment was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on Level 3 inputs. The net charge was recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

9



Divestitures
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $261 million , which primarily related to the sale of a portion of our equity method investment in Embotelladora Andina S.A. ("Andina"). We recognized a gain of $39 million as a result of the sale, which was recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. We continue to account for our remaining interest in Andina as an equity method investment as a result of our representation on Andina's Board of Directors and other governance rights.
During the  three months ended   March 30, 2018 , proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled  $3 million , which related to the proceeds from the refranchising of our U.S. Virgin Islands bottling territories.
North America Refranchising United States
In conjunction with implementing a new beverage partnership model in North America, in 2018 the Company completed the refranchising of all of our bottling territories in the United States that were previously managed by Coca-Cola Refreshments
("CCR") to certain of our unconsolidated bottling partners. We recognized net charges of $4 million and $2 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , respectively. These net charges were included in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statements of income, and were primarily related to post-closing adjustments as contemplated by the related agreements.

During the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , the Company recorded charges of $4 million and $19 million , respectively, primarily related to payments made to certain of our unconsolidated bottling partners in order to convert the bottling agreements for their legacy territories and any previously refranchised territories to a single form of comprehensive beverage agreement ("CBA") with additional requirements. The additional requirements generally include a binding national governance model, mandatory incidence pricing and additional core performance requirements, among other things. As a result of these conversions, the legacy territories and any previously refranchised territories for each of the related bottling partners will be governed under similar CBAs, which will provide consistency across each such bottler's respective territory, as well as consistency with other U.S. bottlers that have been granted or converted to this form of CBA. The charges related to these payments were included in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Refer to Note 17 for the impact these items had on our operating segments and Corporate.
Discontinued Operations
We present the financial position and results of operations of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa Proprietary Limited ("CCBA") as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements because CCBA met the criteria to be classified as held for sale upon acquisition. Since CCBA met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, we were required to record their assets and liabilities at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell and present the related assets and liabilities as separate line items in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We anticipate that we will divest a portion of our ownership interest in 2019, which will result in the Company no longer having a controlling interest in CCBA.

NOTE 3 : REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our Company markets, manufactures and sells:
beverage concentrates, sometimes referred to as "beverage bases," and syrups, including fountain syrups (we refer to this part of our business as our "concentrate business" or "concentrate operations"); and
finished sparkling soft drinks and other nonalcoholic beverages (we refer to this part of our business as our "finished product business" or "finished product operations").
Generally, finished product operations generate higher net operating revenues but lower gross profit margins than concentrate operations.
In our domestic and international concentrate operations, we typically generate net operating revenues by selling concentrates, syrups and certain finished beverages to authorized bottling operations (which we typically refer to as our "bottlers" or our "bottling partners"). Our bottling partners either combine the concentrates with sweeteners (depending on the product), still water and/or sparkling water, or combine the syrups with sparkling water to produce finished beverages. The finished beverages are packaged in authorized containers, such as cans and refillable and nonrefillable glass and plastic bottles, bearing our trademarks or trademarks licensed to us and are then sold to retailers directly or, in some cases, through wholesalers or other bottlers. In addition, outside the United States, our bottling partners are typically authorized to manufacture fountain syrups, using our concentrate, which they sell to fountain retailers for use in producing beverages for immediate consumption, or to authorized fountain wholesalers who in turn sell and distribute the fountain syrups to fountain retailers. Our concentrate operations are included in our geographic operating segments.  
Our finished product operations generate net operating revenues by selling sparkling soft drinks and a variety of other finished nonalcoholic beverages, such as water, enhanced water and sports drinks; juice, dairy and plant-based beverages; tea and coffee; and energy drinks, to retailers or to distributors and wholesalers who distribute them to retailers or Company-owned Costa retail outlets. These operations consist primarily of Company-owned or -controlled bottling, sales and distribution operations, which are included in our Bottling Investments operating segment. In certain markets, the Company also operates non-bottling finished product operations in which we sell finished beverages to distributors and wholesalers that are generally not one of the Company's bottling partners. These operations are generally included in one of our geographic operating

11



segments or our Global Ventures operating segment. In the United States, we manufacture fountain syrups and sell them to fountain retailers, who use the fountain syrups to produce beverages for immediate consumption, or to authorized fountain wholesalers or bottling partners who resell the fountain syrups to fountain retailers. These fountain syrup sales are included in our North America operating segment. Generally, finished product operations produce higher net operating revenues but lower gross profit margins compared to concentrate operations.
We adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 , using the modified retrospective method. We have applied this standard to all contracts at the effective date and contracts entered into thereafter. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our performance obligation generally consists of the promise to sell concentrates or finished products to our bottling partners, wholesalers, distributors or retailers. Control of the concentrates or finished products is transferred upon shipment to, or receipt at, our customers' locations, as determined by the specific terms of the contract. Once control is transferred to the customer, we have completed our performance obligation, and revenue is recognized. Our sales terms generally do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part. After completion of our performance obligation, we have an unconditional right to consideration as outlined in the contract. Our receivables will generally be collected in less than six months, in accordance with the underlying payment terms. All of our performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers have an original duration of one year or less.
Our customers and bottling partners may be entitled to cash discounts, funds for promotional and marketing activities, volume-based incentive programs, support for infrastructure programs and other similar programs. In some markets, in an effort to allow our Company and our bottling partners to grow together through shared value, aligned financial objectives and the flexibility necessary to meet consumers' always changing needs and tastes, we work with our bottling partners to develop and implement an incidence-based concentrate pricing model. Under this model, the price we charge bottlers for concentrate they use to prepare and package finished products is impacted by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the prices charged by the bottlers for such finished products, the channels in which they are sold and package mix. The amounts associated with the arrangements described above are defined as variable consideration under ASC 606 and an estimate of which is included in the transaction price as a component of net operating revenues in our consolidated statement of income upon completion of our performance obligations. The total revenue recorded, including any variable consideration, cannot exceed the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur when uncertainties related to variability are resolved. As a result, we are recognizing revenue based on our faithful depiction of the consideration that we expect to receive. In making our estimates of variable consideration, we consider past results and make significant assumptions related to: (1) customer sales volumes; (2) customer ending inventories; (3) customer selling price per unit; (4) selling channels; and (5) discount rates, rebates and other pricing allowances, as applicable. In gathering data to estimate our variable consideration, we generally calculate our estimates using a portfolio approach at the country and product line level rather than at the individual contract level. The result of making these estimates will impact the line items trade accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet. The actual amounts ultimately paid and/or received may be different from our estimates. The change in the amount of variable consideration recognized during the three months ended March 29, 2019 related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was immaterial.

NOTE 4 : INVESTMENTS
We measure all equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in earnings. We use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes

12



resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Management assesses each of these investments on an individual basis.
Our investments in debt securities are classified as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity and carried at either amortized cost or fair value. The cost basis is determined by the specific identification method. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on debt securities classified as trading securities are included in net income. For debt securities classified as available-for-sale, realized gains and losses are included in net income. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized in AOCI, except for the change in fair value attributable to the currency risk being hedged, if applicable, which is included in net income. Refer to Note 6 for additional information related to the Company's fair value hedges of available-for-sale debt securities.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method and debt securities classified as trading are not assessed for impairment, since they are carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in net income. Equity method investments, equity securities without readily determinable fair values and debt securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of each investment. When such events or changes occur, we evaluate the fair value compared to our cost basis in the investment. We also perform this evaluation every reporting period for each investment for which our cost basis has exceeded the fair value. The fair values of most of our Company's investments in publicly traded companies are often readily available based on quoted market prices. For investments in nonpublicly traded companies, management's assessment of fair value is based on valuation methodologies including discounted cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds and appraisals, as appropriate. We consider the assumptions that we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use in evaluating estimated future cash flows when employing the discounted cash flow or estimates of sales proceeds valuation methodologies. The ability to accurately predict future cash flows, especially in emerging and developing markets, may impact the determination of fair value. In the event the fair value of an investment declines below our cost basis, management is required to determine if the decline in fair value is other than temporary. If management determines the decline is other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded. Management's assessment as to the nature of a decline in fair value is based on, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our cost basis; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Captive Insurance Companies
In accordance with local insurance regulations, our captive insurance companies are required to meet and maintain minimum solvency capital requirements. The Company elected to invest a majority of its solvency capital in a portfolio of marketable equity and debt securities. These securities are included in the disclosures above. The Company uses one of its consolidated captive insurance companies to reinsure group annuity insurance contracts that cover the pension obligations of certain of our European and Canadian pension plans. This captive's solvency capital funds included equity and debt securities of $1,158 million as of March 29, 2019 and $1,056 million as of December 31, 2018 , which are classified in the line item other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets because the assets are not available to satisfy our current obligations.
NOTE 5 : INVENTORIES
Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and packaging (which include ingredients and supplies) and finished goods (which include concentrates and syrups in our concentrate operations and finished beverages in our finished product operations). Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine cost on the basis of the average cost or first-in, first-out methods.

NOTE 6 : HEDGING TRANSACTIONS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company's financial performance and are referred to as "market risks." When deemed appropriate, our Company uses derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk.
The Company uses various types of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, forward contracts, commodity futures contracts, option contracts, collars and swaps. Forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a currency or commodity at a predetermined future date and at a predetermined rate or price. An option contract is an agreement that conveys the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a quantity of a currency or commodity at a predetermined rate or price during a period or at a time in the future. A collar is a strategy that uses a combination of options to limit the range of possible positive or negative returns on an underlying asset or liability to a specific range, or to protect expected future cash flows. To do this, an investor simultaneously buys a put option and sells (writes) a call option, or alternatively buys a call option and sells (writes) a put option. A swap agreement is a contract between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company may also designate certain non-derivative instruments, such as our foreign-denominated third-party debt, in hedging relationships.
All derivative instruments are carried at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily in the following line items, as applicable: prepaid expenses and other assets; other assets; accounts payable and accrued expenses; and other liabilities. The carrying values of the derivatives reflect the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties, as applicable. These master netting agreements allow the Company to net settle positive and negative positions (assets and liabilities) arising from different transactions with the same counterparty.
The accounting for gains and losses that result from changes in the fair values of derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives have been designated and qualify as hedging instruments and the type of hedging relationships. Derivatives can be designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The changes in the fair

15



values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify for fair value hedge accounting are recorded in the same line item in our condensed consolidated statement of income as the changes in the fair values of the hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged. The changes in the fair values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into the line item in our condensed consolidated statement of income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged items affect earnings. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the underlying exposures being hedged, fluctuations in the values of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The changes in the fair values of derivatives that were not designated and/or did not qualify as hedging instruments are immediately recognized into earnings.
For derivatives that will be accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, the Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures.
The Company determines the fair values of its derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. Refer to Note 16 . The notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a direct measure of our exposure to the financial risks described above. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates or other financial indices. The Company does not view the fair values of its derivatives in isolation but rather in relation to the fair values or cash flows of the underlying hedged transactions or other exposures. Virtually all of our derivatives are straightforward over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets.
On January 1, 2019 , we adopted ASU 2017-12. For highly effective cash flow hedges, this ASU requires the entire change in fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness to be recorded in other comprehensive income. No components of the Company's hedging instruments were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. To reflect the adoption of the new hedging standard on our cash flow hedging relationships at January 1, 2019 , we recorded a $6 million increase, net of taxes, to the opening balance of reinvested earnings and a corresponding decrease to AOCI. For fair value hedges of interest rate risk, this ASU allows entities to elect to use the benchmark interest rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows to calculate the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. As a result of applying the new hedging standard to our fair value hedges on January 1, 2019 , we recorded a $24 million increase to our hedged long-term debt balances, with a corresponding decrease to the opening balance of reinvested earnings of $18 million , net of taxes.

1 All of the Company's derivative instruments are carried at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets after considering the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties, as applicable. Current disclosure requirements mandate that derivatives must also be disclosed without reflecting the impact of master netting agreements and cash collateral. Refer to Note 16 for the net presentation of the Company's derivative instruments.
2 Refer to Note 16 for additional information related to the estimated fair value.
Credit Risk Associated with Derivatives
We have established strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. We monitor counterparty exposures regularly and review any downgrade in credit rating immediately. If a downgrade in the credit rating of a counterparty were to occur, we have provisions requiring collateral for substantially all of our transactions. To mitigate presettlement risk, minimum credit standards become more stringent as the duration of the derivative financial instrument increases. In addition, the Company's master netting agreements reduce credit risk by permitting the Company to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. To minimize the concentration of credit risk, we enter into derivative transactions with a portfolio of financial institutions. Based on these factors, we consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy
The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices or interest rates. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into the line item in our condensed consolidated statement of income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged items affect earnings. The changes in fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCI into earnings. The maximum length of time for which the Company hedges its exposure to future cash flows is typically three years.
The Company maintains a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the risk that our eventual U.S. dollar net cash inflows from sales outside the United States and U.S. dollar net cash outflows from procurement activities will be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into forward contracts and purchase foreign currency options (principally euros and Japanese yen) and collars to hedge certain portions of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against the foreign currencies, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offset by gains in the fair value of the derivative instruments. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offset by losses in the fair value of the derivative instruments. The total notional values of derivatives that were designated and qualify for the Company's foreign currency cash flow hedging program were $ 4,657 million and $ 3,175 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the changes in cash flows of certain of its foreign currency denominated debt and other monetary assets or liabilities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For this hedging program, the Company records the change in carrying value of these foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities due to changes in

17



exchange rates into earnings each period. The changes in fair value of the cross-currency swap derivatives are recorded in AOCI with an immediate reclassification into earnings for the change in fair value attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The total notional values of derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges for the Company's foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities were $3,028 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
The Company has entered into commodity futures contracts and other derivative instruments on various commodities to mitigate the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our manufacturing process. These derivative instruments have been designated and qualify as part of the Company's commodity cash flow hedging program. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with future purchases of certain commodities. The total notional values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify for this program were $ 8 million and $ 9 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.
Our Company monitors our mix of short-term debt and long-term debt regularly. From time to time, we manage our risk to interest rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements and has designated these instruments as part of the Company's interest rate cash flow hedging program. The objective of this hedging program is to mitigate the risk of adverse changes in benchmark interest rates on the Company's future interest payments. During the three months ended March 30, 2018 , we discontinued the cash flow hedge relationship related to these swaps. We reclassified a loss of $8 million into earnings as a result of the discontinuance. As of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we did not have any interest rate swaps designated as a cash flow hedge.

1 The Company records gains and losses reclassified from AOCI into income for the effective portion and the ineffective portion, if any, to the same line items in our condensed consolidated statement of income.
2 Effective January 1, 2019, ASU 2017-12 eliminated the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges. No components of the Company’s hedging instruments were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
3 Includes a de minimis amount of ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship.
As of March 29, 2019 , the Company estimates that it will reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months net losses of $36 million from the pretax amount recorded in AOCI as the anticipated cash flows occur.
Fair Value Hedging Strategy
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges to minimize exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt that results from fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. The Company also uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated debt relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates. The changes in fair values of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged items are recognized in earnings. The ineffective portions of these hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. When a derivative is no longer designated as a fair value hedge for any reason, including termination and maturity, the remaining unamortized difference between the carrying value of the hedged item at that time and the face value of the hedged item is amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the hedged item, or immediately if the hedged item has matured. The total notional values of derivatives related to our fair value hedges of this type were $ 12,832 million and $8,023 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.
The Company also uses fair value hedges to minimize exposure to changes in the fair value of certain available-for-sale securities from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in fair values of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged items due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recognized in earnings. As a result, any difference is reflected in earnings as ineffectiveness. As of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we did not have any fair value hedges of this type.

Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations Strategy
The Company uses forward contracts and a portion of its foreign currency denominated debt, a non-derivative financial instrument, to protect the value of our net investments in a number of foreign operations. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in net foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of AOCI, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. For non-derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the change in the carrying value of the designated portion of the non-derivative financial instrument due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is recorded in net foreign currency translation adjustments. Any ineffective net investment hedges are reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the period of change.

Economic (Nondesignated) Hedging Strategy
In addition to derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also uses certain derivatives as economic hedges of foreign currency, interest rate and commodity exposure. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in the fair value of economic hedges are immediately recognized into earnings.
The Company uses foreign currency economic hedges to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. The changes in fair value of economic hedges used to offset those monetary assets and liabilities are immediately recognized into earnings in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. In addition, we use foreign currency economic hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including those related to certain acquisition and divestiture activities. The changes in fair values of economic hedges used to offset the variability in U.S. dollar net cash flows are recognized into earnings in the line items net operating revenues, cost of goods sold or other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income, as applicable. The total notional values of derivatives related to our foreign currency economic hedges were $ 6,512 million and $ 10,939 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.
The Company also uses certain derivatives as economic hedges to mitigate the price risk associated with the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing process and for vehicle fuel. The changes in fair values of these economic hedges are immediately recognized into earnings in the line items net operating revenues, cost of goods sold, or selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of income, as applicable. The total notional values of derivatives related to our economic hedges of this type were $ 450 million and $ 373 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

NOTE 9 : COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
As of March 29, 2019 , we were contingently liable for guarantees of indebtedness owed by third parties of $ 609 million , of which $ 252 million was related to variable interest entities. Our guarantees are primarily related to third-party customers, bottlers, vendors and container manufacturing operations and have arisen through the normal course of business. These guarantees have various terms, and none of these guarantees is individually significant. These amounts represent the maximum potential future payments that we could be required to make under the guarantees; however, we do not consider it probable that we will be required to satisfy these guarantees.
We believe our exposure to concentrations of credit risk is limited due to the diverse geographic areas covered by our operations.

22



Legal Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. We establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made. Management believes that the total liabilities of the Company that may arise as a result of currently pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole.
Tax Audits
The Company is involved in various tax matters, with respect to some of which the outcome is uncertain. We establish reserves to remove some or all of the tax benefit of any of our tax positions at the time we determine that it becomes uncertain based upon one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is not "more likely than not" to be sustained; (2) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but for a lesser amount; or (3) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but not in the financial period in which the tax position was originally taken. For purposes of evaluating whether or not a tax position is uncertain, (1) we presume the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information; (2) the technical merits of a tax position are derived from authorities such as legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings and case law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position; and (3) each tax position is evaluated without consideration of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other tax positions taken. A number of years may elapse before a particular uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved. The number of years subject to tax audits or tax assessments varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The tax benefit that has been previously reserved because of a failure to meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold would be recognized in our income tax expense in the first interim period when the uncertainty disappears under any one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained; (2) the tax position, amount, and/or timing is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation; or (3) the statute of limitations for the tax position has expired. Refer to  Note 15 .
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency ("Notice") from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the tax years 2007 through 2009, after a five-year audit. In the Notice, the IRS claimed that the Company's United States taxable income should be increased by an amount that creates a potential additional federal income tax liability of approximately  $3.3 billion  for the period, plus interest. No penalties were asserted in the Notice. The disputed amounts largely relate to a transfer pricing matter involving the appropriate amount of taxable income the Company should report in the United States in connection with its licensing of intangible property to certain related foreign licensees regarding the manufacturing, distribution, sale, marketing and promotion of products in overseas markets.
During the 2007-2009 audit period, the Company followed the same transfer pricing methodology for these licenses that had consistently been followed since the methodology was agreed with the IRS in a 1996 closing agreement that applied back to 1987. The closing agreement provided prospective penalty protection conditioned on the Company's continued adherence to the prescribed methodology absent change in material facts or circumstances or relevant federal tax law. Although the IRS subsequently asserted, without explanation, that material facts and circumstances and relevant federal tax law had changed, it has not asserted penalties. The Company's compliance with the closing agreement was audited and confirmed by the IRS in five successive audit cycles covering the subsequent 11 years through 2006, with the last audit concluding as recently as 2009.
The Notice represents a repudiation of the methodology previously adopted in the 1996 closing agreement. The IRS designated the matter for litigation on October 15, 2015. To the extent the matter remains designated, the Company will be prevented from pursuing any administrative settlement at IRS Appeals or under the IRS Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement Program.
The Company firmly believes that the IRS' claims are without merit and is pursuing, and will continue to pursue, all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to vigorously defend its position. To that end, the Company filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court on December 14, 2015, and the IRS filed its answer on February 12, 2016. On October 4, 2017, the IRS filed an amended answer to the Company's petition in which it increased its transfer pricing adjustment by  $385 million resulting in an additional tax adjustment of  $135 million .
On June 20, 2017, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on the portion of the IRS' adjustments related to our licensee in Mexico. On December 14, 2017, the U.S. Tax Court issued a decision on the summary judgment motion in favor of the Company. This decision effectively reduced the IRS' potential tax adjustment by approximately  $138 million .
The U.S. Tax Court trial was held from March 8, 2018 through May 11, 2018. The Company and the IRS filed simultaneous opening and answering post-trial briefs in October 2018 and February 2019, respectively. The Company filed a subsequent brief in March 2019 to which the IRS responded in April 2019. It is not known how much time will elapse thereafter prior to the issuance of the Court's decision. In the interim, or subsequent to the Court's decision, the IRS may propose similar adjustments for years subsequent to the 2007-2009 litigation period. While the Company continues to strongly disagree with the IRS' position, there is no assurance that the Court will rule in the Company's favor, and it is possible that all or some portion of the adjustment proposed by the IRS Notice ultimately could be sustained. In that event, the Company will be subject to

23



significant additional liabilities for the years at issue and potentially also for subsequent periods, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax disputes such as this and other examinations for all open years to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. Any such adjustments related to years prior to 2018, either in the litigation period or later, may have an impact on the transition tax payable as part of the Tax Reform Act.

Risk Management Programs
The Company has numerous global insurance programs in place to help protect the Company from the risk of loss. In general, we are self-insured for large portions of many different types of claims; however, we do use commercial insurance above our self-insured retentions to reduce the Company's risk of catastrophic loss. Our reserves for the Company's self-insured losses are estimated using actuarial methods and assumptions of the insurance industry, adjusted for our specific expectations based on our claim history. Our self-insurance reserves totaled $ 339 million and $ 362 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

NOTE 13 : PRODUCTIVITY AND REINVESTMENT PROGRAM
In February 2012, the Company announced a productivity and reinvestment program designed to further enable our efforts to strengthen our brands and reinvest our resources to drive long-term profitable growth. This program is focused on the following initiatives: global supply chain optimization; global marketing and innovation effectiveness; operating expense leverage and operational excellence; data and information technology systems standardization; and the integration of Coca‑Cola Enterprises Inc.'s former North America business ("Old CCE").
In February 2014, the Company announced the expansion of our productivity and reinvestment program to drive incremental productivity that will primarily be redirected into increased media investments. Our incremental productivity goal consists of two relatively equal components. First, we will expand savings through global supply chain optimization, data and information technology systems standardization, and resource and cost reallocation. Second, we will increase the effectiveness of our marketing investments by transforming our marketing and commercial model to redeploy resources into more consumer-facing marketing investments to accelerate growth.
In October 2014, the Company announced that we were further expanding our productivity and reinvestment program and extending it through 2019. The expansion of the productivity initiatives focuses on four key areas: restructuring the Company's global supply chain; implementing zero-based work, an evolution of zero-based budget principles, across the organization; streamlining and simplifying the Company's operating model; and further driving increased discipline and efficiency in direct marketing investments.
In April 2017, the Company announced another expansion of our productivity and reinvestment program. This expansion is focused on achieving additional efficiencies in both our supply chain and our marketing expenditures as well as transitioning to a new, more agile operating model to enable growth. Under this operating model, our business units will be supported by an expanded enabling services organization and a corporate center focused on a few strategic initiatives, policy and governance. The expanded enabling services organization will focus on both simplifying and standardizing key transactional processes and providing support to business units through global centers of excellence.
The Company has incurred total pretax expenses of $3,634 million related to our productivity and reinvestment program since it commenced. These expenses were recorded in the line items other operating charges and other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Refer to Note 17 for the impact these charges had on our operating segments and Corporate. Outside services reported in the table below primarily relate to expenses in connection with legal, outplacement and consulting activities. Other direct costs reported in the table below include, among other items, internal and external costs associated with the development, communication, administration and implementation of these initiatives; accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets; contract termination fees; and relocation costs.
The following table summarizes the balance of accrued expenses related to these productivity and reinvestment initiatives and the changes in the accrued amounts as of and for the three months ended March 29, 2019 (in millions):

1 The weighted-average expected long-term rates of return on plan assets used in computing 2019 net periodic benefit cost (income) are
7.7 percent for pension benefit plans and 4.6 percent for other benefit plans.

All of the amounts in the table above, other than service cost, were recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company contributed $6 million to our pension trusts, and we anticipate making additional contributions of approximately $ 14 million during the remainder of 2019. The Company contributed $27 million to our pension trusts during the three months ended March 30, 2018 .
NOTE 15 : INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income taxes from continuing operations of $486 million ( 22.8 percent effective tax rate) and $506 million ( 27.6 percent effective tax rate) during the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , respectively.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 varies from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to the tax impact of significant operating and nonoperating items, along with the tax benefits of having significant operations outside the United States and significant earnings generated in investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, both of which are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2018 included $176 million of additional tax expense to adjust our provisional tax estimate recorded as of December 31, 2017, related to the Tax Reform Act signed into law on December 22, 2017.
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for the tax years 2007 through 2009, after a five-year audit. Refer to Note 9 .
NOTE 16 : FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. We value assets and liabilities included in this level using dealer and broker quotations, certain pricing models, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. For our Company, the only assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are investments in equity

31



securities with readily determinable fair values, debt securities classified as trading or available-for-sale and derivative financial instruments. Additionally, the Company adjusts the carrying value of certain long-term debt as a result of the Company's fair value hedging strategy.
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
The fair values of our investments in debt and equity securities using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets are based on the closing price as of the balance sheet date and are classified as Level 1. The fair values of our investments in debt and equity securities classified as Level 2 are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments or nonbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data. Inputs into these valuation techniques include actual trade data, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes and other similar data. These inputs are obtained from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors or other sources.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of our futures contracts are primarily determined using quoted contract prices on futures exchange markets. The fair values of these instruments are based on the closing contract price as of the balance sheet date and are classified as Level 1.
The fair values of our derivative instruments other than futures are determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, and therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models for derivative instruments other than futures include the applicable exchange rates, forward rates, interest rates, discount rates and commodity prices. The standard valuation model for options also uses implied volatility as an additional input. The discount rates are based on the historical U.S. Deposit or U.S. Treasury rates, and the implied volatility specific to options is based on quoted rates from financial institutions.
Included in the fair values of derivative instruments is an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The adjustment is based on current credit default swap ("CDS") rates applied to each contract, by counterparty. We use our counterparty's CDS rate when we are in an asset position and our own CDS rate when we are in a liability position. The adjustment for nonperformance risk did not have a significant impact on the fair values of our derivative instruments.

1 Based on the length of time and the extent to which the market value of our investment in CCBJHI, an equity method investee, has been less than our carrying value and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, management determined that the decline in fair value was other than temporary in nature. As a result, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $286 million . This impairment charge was determined using the quoted market price (a Level 1 measurement) of CCBJHI. The Company also recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of  $57 million related to one of our equity method investees in North America. This impairment charge was derived using Level 3 inputs and was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results.
2 The Company recognized a loss of  $121 million  in conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining equity ownership interest in CHI, primarily driven by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The fair value of this investment was derived using discounted cash flow analyses based on Level 3 inputs.
3 The Company recognized charges of $252 million related to CCR's property, plant and equipment and $138 million related to CCR's intangible assets. These charges were a result of management's revised estimate of the proceeds that were expected to be received for the remaining bottling territories upon their refranchising. These charges were determined by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit, based on Level 3 inputs, to its carrying value.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents; short-term investments; trade accounts receivable; accounts payable and accrued expenses; and loans and notes payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. As of March 29, 2019 , the carrying amount and fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, were $ 32,697 million and $ 33,219 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2018 , the carrying amount and fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, were $30,361 million  and $30,438 million , respectively.

When used in this report, the terms "The Coca-Cola Company," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean The Coca-Cola Company and all entities included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2019, we established a new operating segment, Global Ventures, which includes the results of Costa Limited ("Costa"), which we acquired in January 2019, and the results of our innocent and doğadan businesses as well as fees earned pursuant to distribution coordination agreements between the Company and Monster Beverage Corporation ("Monster"). Accordingly, all prior period operating segment and Corporate information presented herein has been adjusted to reflect this change in our organizational structure.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Recoverability of Current and Noncurrent Assets
Our Company faces many uncertainties and risks related to various economic, political and regulatory environments in the countries in which we operate, particularly in developing and emerging markets. Refer to the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Our Business — Challenges and Risks" in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . As a result, management must make numerous assumptions which involve a significant amount of judgment when completing recoverability and impairment tests of current and noncurrent assets in various regions around the world.
We perform recoverability and impairment tests of current and noncurrent assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). For certain assets, recoverability and/or impairment tests are required only when conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For other assets, impairment tests are required at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired.
Our equity method investees also perform such recoverability and/or impairment tests. If an impairment charge is recorded by one of our equity method investees, the Company records its proportionate share of such charge as a reduction of equity income

36



(loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. However, the actual amount we record with respect to our proportionate share of such charges may be impacted by items such as basis differences, deferred taxes and deferred gains.
Investments in Equity and Debt Securities
We use quoted market prices to determine the fair values of equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Management assesses each of these investments on an individual basis.
Our investments in debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in net income. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale debt securities are included in our consolidated balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), except for the change in fair value attributable to the currency risk being hedged, if applicable, which is included in net income.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method and debt securities classified as trading are not assessed for impairment, since they are carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in net income. Equity method investments, equity securities without readily determinable fair values and debt securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of each investment. When such events or changes occur, we evaluate the fair value compared to our cost basis in the investment. We also perform this evaluation every reporting period for each investment for which our cost basis has exceeded the fair value. The fair values of most of our Company's investments in publicly traded companies are often readily available based on quoted market prices. For investments in nonpublicly traded companies, management's assessment of fair value is based on valuation methodologies including discounted cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds and appraisals, as appropriate. We consider the assumptions that we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use in evaluating estimated future cash flows when employing the discounted cash flow or estimates of sales proceeds valuation methodologies. The ability to accurately predict future cash flows, especially in emerging and developing markets, may impact the determination of fair value. In the event the fair value of an investment declines below our cost basis, management is required to determine if the decline in fair value is other than temporary. If management determines the decline is other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded. Management's assessment as to the nature of a decline in fair value is based on, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our cost basis; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
During the  three months ended   March 29, 2019 , the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $343 million . Based on the length of time and the extent to which the market value of our investment in Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings Inc. ("CCBJHI"), an equity method investee, has been less than our carrying value and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, management determined that the decline in fair value was other than temporary in nature. Therefore, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $286 million . We also recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $57 million related to one of our equity method investees in North America. This impairment charge was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results.

As of March 29, 2019 , gross unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities were $128 million and $14 million , respectively. Management assessed each of the available-for-sale debt securities that were in a gross unrealized loss position on an individual basis to determine if the decline in fair value was other than temporary. As a result of these assessments, management determined that the decline in fair value of these investments was temporary and did not record any impairment charges. We will continue to monitor these investments in future periods. Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Property, Plant and Equipment
As of March 29, 2019 , the carrying value of our property, plant and equipment, net of depreciation, was  $8,866 million , or  10 percent of our total assets. Certain events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount or remaining useful life of property, plant and equipment should be assessed, including, among others, the manner or length of time in which the Company intends to use the asset, a significant decrease in market value, a significant change in the business climate in a particular market, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with historical losses or projected future losses. When such events or changes in circumstances are present and an impairment test is performed, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. These estimated future cash flows are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment charge. The impairment charge recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. We use a variety of methodologies to determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment, including appraisals and discounted cash flow models, which are consistent with the assumptions we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use.
During the  three months ended March 30, 2018 , the Company recorded impairment charges of  $252 million  related to Coca‑Cola Refreshments' ("CCR") property, plant and equipment as a result of management's estimate of the proceeds that were expected to be received for the remaining bottling territories upon their refranchising. These charges were recorded in our Bottling Investments operating segment in the line item other operating charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income and were determined by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying value. Refer to  Note 16  of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are classified into one of three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill. For intangible assets with definite lives, tests for impairment must be performed if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill, tests for impairment must be performed at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired.
The assessment of recoverability and the performance of impairment tests of intangible assets involve critical accounting estimates. These estimates require significant management judgment, include inherent uncertainties and are often interdependent; therefore, they do not change in isolation. Factors that management must estimate include, among others, the economic life of the asset, sales volume, pricing, cost of raw materials, delivery costs, inflation, cost of capital, marketing spending, foreign currency exchange rates, tax rates, capital spending and proceeds from the sale of assets. These factors are even more difficult to predict when global financial markets are highly volatile. The estimates we use when assessing the recoverability of intangible assets are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. When performing impairment tests,

38



we estimate the fair values of the assets using management's best assumptions, which we believe would be consistent with what a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. Estimates and assumptions used in these tests are evaluated and updated as appropriate. The variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty about future events, and thus our accounting estimates may change from period to period. If other assumptions and estimates had been used when these tests were performed, impairment charges could have resulted. As mentioned above, these factors do not change in isolation and, therefore, we do not believe it is practicable or meaningful to present the impact of changing a single factor. Furthermore, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions exist in future periods, future impairment charges could result. Refer to the heading "Operations Review" below for additional information related to our present business environment. Certain factors discussed above are impacted by our current business environment and are discussed throughout this report, as appropriate.
Intangible assets acquired in recent transactions are naturally more susceptible to impairment, primarily due to the fact that they are recorded at fair value based on recent operating plans and macroeconomic conditions present at the time of acquisition. Consequently, if operating results and/or macroeconomic conditions deteriorate shortly after an acquisition, it could result in the impairment of the acquired assets. A deterioration of macroeconomic conditions may not only negatively impact the estimated operating cash flows used in our cash flow models but may also negatively impact other assumptions used in our analyses, including, but not limited to, the estimated cost of capital and/or discount rates. Additionally, as discussed above, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we are required to ensure that assumptions used to determine fair value in our analyses are consistent with the assumptions that we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. As a result, the cost of capital and/or discount rates used in our analyses may increase or decrease based on market conditions and trends, regardless of whether our Company's actual cost of capital has changed. Therefore, if the cost of capital and/or discount rates change, our Company may recognize an impairment of an intangible asset in spite of realizing actual cash flows that are approximately equal to, or greater than, our previously forecasted amounts.
Goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit or units, which are one level below our operating segments, that benefit from the synergies arising from each business combination. We perform impairment tests of goodwill at our reporting unit level. In order to test for goodwill impairment, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill is written down for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. We typically use discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The assumptions used in these models are consistent with those we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill rather than completing the impairment test. The Company must assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the testing discussed above. Otherwise, the Company does not need to perform any further assessment.
When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value by preparing estimates of sales volume and the resulting gross profit and cash flows. These estimated future cash flows are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, we recognize an impairment charge. The impairment charge recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. We use a variety of methodologies to determine the fair value of these assets, including discounted cash flow models, which are consistent with the assumptions we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use.
We test indefinite-lived intangible assets, including trademarks, franchise rights and goodwill, for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. Our Company performs these annual impairment tests as of the first day of our third fiscal quarter. We use a variety of methodologies in conducting impairment assessments of indefinite-lived intangible assets, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, which are based on the assumptions we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, rather than completing the impairment test. The Company must assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the testing described above. Otherwise, the Company does not need to perform any further assessment.
During the  three months ended   March 30, 2018 , the Company recorded impairment charges of  $138 million  related to certain intangible assets. These charges included  $100 million  related to bottlers' franchise rights with indefinite lives and  $38 million related to definite-lived intangible assets. These impairment charges were incurred as a result of management's revised estimate of the proceeds that were expected to be received for the remaining bottling territories upon their refranchising. These charges were recorded in our Bottling Investments operating segment in the line item other operating charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our performance obligation generally consists of the promise to sell concentrates or finished products to our bottling partners, wholesalers, distributors or retailers. Control of the concentrates or finished products is transferred upon shipment to, or receipt at, our customers' locations, as determined by the specific terms of the contract. Once control is transferred to the customer, we have completed our performance obligation, and revenue is recognized. Our sales terms generally do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part. After completion of our performance obligation, we have an unconditional right to consideration as outlined in the contract. Our receivables will generally be collected in less than six months, in accordance with the underlying payment terms. All of our performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers have an original duration of one year or less.
Our customers and bottling partners may be entitled to cash discounts, funds for promotional and marketing activities, volume‑based incentive programs, support for infrastructure programs and other similar programs. In some markets, in an effort to allow our Company and our bottling partners to grow together through shared value, aligned financial objectives and the flexibility necessary to meet consumers' always changing needs and tastes, we work with our bottling partners to develop and implement an incidence-based concentrate pricing model. Under this model, the price we charge bottlers for concentrate they use to prepare and package finished products is impacted by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the prices charged by the bottlers for such finished products, the channels in which they are sold and package mix. The amounts associated with the arrangements described above are defined as variable consideration under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") and an estimate of which is included in the transaction price as a component of net operating revenues in our condensed consolidated statement of income upon completion of our performance obligations. The total revenue recorded, including any variable consideration, cannot exceed the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur when uncertainties related to variability are resolved. As a result, we are recognizing revenue based on our faithful depiction of the consideration that we expect to receive. In making our estimates of variable consideration, we consider past results and make significant assumptions related to: (1) customer sales volumes; (2) customer ending inventories; (3) customer selling price per unit; (4) selling channels; and (5) discount rates, rebates and other pricing allowances, as applicable. In gathering data to estimate our variable consideration, we generally calculate our estimates using a portfolio approach at the country and product line level rather than at the individual contract level. The result of making these estimates will impact the line items trade accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The actual amounts ultimately paid and/or received may be different from our estimates.
Income Taxes
Our annual effective tax rate is based on our income and the tax laws in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves to remove some or all of the tax benefit of any of our tax positions at the time we determine that the position becomes uncertain based upon one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is not "more likely than not" to be sustained; (2) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but for a lesser amount; or (3) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but not in the financial period in which the tax position was originally taken. For purposes of evaluating whether or not a tax position is uncertain, (1) we presume the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information; (2) the technical merits of a tax position are derived from authorities such as legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings and case law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position; and (3) each tax position is evaluated without considerations of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other tax positions taken. We adjust these reserves, including any impact on the related interest and penalties, in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. Refer to the heading "Operations Review — Income Taxes" below and Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency ("Notice") from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the tax years 2007 through 2009, after a five-year audit. In the Notice, the IRS claimed that the Company's United States taxable income should be increased by an amount that creates a potential additional federal income tax liability of approximately $3.3 billion for the period, plus interest. No penalties were asserted in the Notice. The disputed amounts largely relate to a transfer pricing matter involving the appropriate amount of taxable income the Company should report in the United States in connection with its licensing of intangible property to certain related foreign licensees regarding the manufacturing, distribution, sale, marketing and promotion of products in overseas markets.

During the 2007-2009 audit period, the Company followed the same transfer pricing methodology for these licenses that had consistently been followed since the methodology was agreed with the IRS in a 1996 closing agreement that applied back to 1987. The closing agreement provided prospective penalty protection conditioned on the Company's continued adherence to the prescribed methodology absent change in material facts or circumstances or relevant federal tax law. Although the IRS subsequently asserted, without explanation, that material facts and circumstances and relevant federal tax law had changed, it

40



has not asserted penalties. The Company's compliance with the closing agreement was audited and confirmed by the IRS in five successive audit cycles covering the subsequent 11 years through 2006, with the last audit concluding as recently as 2009.

The Notice represents a repudiation of the methodology previously adopted in the 1996 closing agreement. The IRS designated the matter for litigation on October 15, 2015. To the extent the matter remains designated, the Company will be prevented from pursuing any administrative settlement at IRS Appeals or under the IRS Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement Program.

The Company firmly believes that the IRS' claims are without merit and is pursuing, and will continue to pursue, all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to vigorously defend its position. To that end, the Company filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court on December 14, 2015, and the IRS filed its answer on February 12, 2016. On October 4, 2017, the IRS filed an amended answer to the Company's petition in which it increased its transfer pricing adjustment by  $385 million resulting in an additional tax adjustment of  $135 million .

On June 20, 2017, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on the portion of the IRS' adjustments related to our licensee in Mexico. On December 14, 2017, the U.S. Tax Court issued a decision on the summary judgment motion in favor of the Company. This decision effectively reduced the IRS' potential tax adjustment by approximately  $138 million .

The U.S. Tax Court trial was held from March 8, 2018 through May 11, 2018. The Company and the IRS filed simultaneous opening and answering post-trial briefs in October 2018 and February 2019, respectively. The Company filed a subsequent brief in March 2019 to which the IRS responded in April 2019. It is not known how much time will elapse thereafter prior to the issuance of the Court's decision. In the interim, or subsequent to the Court's decision, the IRS may propose similar adjustments for years subsequent to the 2007-2009 litigation period. While the Company continues to strongly disagree with the IRS' position, there is no assurance that the Court will rule in the Company's favor, and it is possible that all or some portion of the adjustment proposed by the IRS Notice ultimately could be sustained. In that event, the Company will be subject to significant additional liabilities for the years at issue and potentially also for subsequent periods, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax disputes such as this and other examinations for all open years to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. Any such adjustments related to years prior to 2018, either in the litigation period or later, may have an impact on the transition tax payable as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Reform Act").
A number of years may elapse before a particular matter for which we have established a reserve is audited and finally resolved. The number of years subject to tax audits or tax assessments varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The tax benefit that has been previously reserved because of a failure to meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold would be recognized in our income tax expense in the first interim period when the uncertainty disappears under any one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained; (2) the tax position, amount, and/or timing is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation; or (3) the statute of limitations for the tax position has expired. Settlement of any particular issue would usually require the use of cash.
Tax law requires items to be included in the tax return at different times than when these items are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the annual effective tax rate reflected in our consolidated financial statements is different from that reported in our tax return (our cash tax rate). Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences reverse over time, such as depreciation expense. These timing differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The tax rates used to determine deferred tax assets and liabilities are the enacted tax rates in effect for the year and manner in which the differences are expected to reverse. Based on the evaluation of all available information, the Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered more likely than not.
We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing our forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results; the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences; taxable income in prior carryback years (if permitted); and the availability of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is required to be established unless management determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will ultimately realize the tax benefit associated with a deferred tax asset. As of March 29, 2019 , the Company's valuation allowances on deferred tax assets were $436 million and were primarily related to uncertainties regarding the future realization of recorded tax benefits on tax loss carryforwards generated in various jurisdictions. Current evidence does not suggest we will realize sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward period to allow us to realize these deferred tax benefits. If we were to identify and implement tax planning strategies to recover these deferred tax assets or generate sufficient income of the appropriate character in these jurisdictions in the future, it could lead to the reversal of these valuation allowances and a

41



reduction of income tax expense. The Company believes it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the remaining deferred tax assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company does not record a U.S. deferred tax liability for the excess of the book basis over the tax basis of its investments in foreign subsidiaries to the extent that the basis difference, which primarily results from earnings, meets the indefinite reversal criteria. These criteria are met if the foreign subsidiary has invested, or will invest, the undistributed earnings indefinitely. The decision as to the amount of undistributed earnings that the Company intends to maintain in non-U.S. subsidiaries takes into account items including, but not limited to, forecasts and budgets of financial needs of cash for working capital, liquidity plans, capital improvement programs, merger and acquisition plans, and planned loans to other non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company also evaluates its expected cash requirements in the United States. Other factors that can influence that determination are local restrictions on remittances (for example, in some countries a central bank application and approval are required in order for the Company's local country subsidiary to pay a dividend), economic stability and asset risk. Refer to Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Tax Reform Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the Tax Reform Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 , transitioned the U.S. method of taxation from a worldwide tax system to a modified territorial system, and required companies to pay a one-time transition tax over a period of eight years on the mandatory deemed repatriation of prescribed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017 .
The one-time transition tax was based on our total accumulated post-1986 prescribed foreign earnings and profits ("E&P") of approximately  $41 billion . Most of this amount was unremitted foreign earnings, upon which no U.S. federal or state income tax had been accrued, because they were considered to have been indefinitely reinvested. At  December 31, 2017 , following enactment of the Tax Reform Act, we recorded a provisional  $4.6 billion  tax charge reflecting our best estimate of the one-time deemed repatriation tax liability as of December 31, 2017 , and a  $0.6 billion provisional deferred tax liability related to foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes on earnings no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested.
We also remeasured and adjusted certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21.0 percent. However, as of March 30, 2018, we were still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Reform Act and refining our calculations. The provisional amount recorded related to the remeasurement and adjustments of our deferred tax balance was a tax benefit of $1.6 billion. Upon further analyses of certain aspects of the Tax Reform Act and refinement of our calculations during the three months ended March 30, 2018, we adjusted our provisional amount by $176 million in deferred tax expense, which was included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations.
The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Reform Act require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary's tangible assets. An accounting policy election is available to either account for the tax effects of GILTI in the period that is subject to such taxes or to provide deferred taxes for book and tax basis differences that upon reversal may be subject to such taxes. We have elected to account for the tax effects of these provisions in the period that is subject to such tax and the impact is reflected in our current year and prior year provisions.
At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, our best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates. Based on current tax laws, the Company's effective tax rate in 2019 is expected to be 19.5 percent before considering the potential impact of any significant operating and nonoperating items that may affect our effective tax rate.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
Sales of our nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages are somewhat seasonal, with the second and third calendar quarters accounting for the highest sales volumes. The volume of sales in the beverage business may be affected by weather conditions.

Structural Changes, Acquired Brands and Newly Licensed Brands
In order to continually improve upon the Company's operating performance, from time to time, we engage in buying and selling ownership interests in bottling partners and other manufacturing operations. In addition, we also acquire brands or enter into license agreements for certain brands to supplement our beverage offerings. These items impact our operating results and certain key metrics used by management in assessing the Company's performance.
Unit case volume growth is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company's performance because it measures demand for our products at the consumer level. The Company's unit case volume represents the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of Company beverage products directly or indirectly sold by the Company and its bottling partners to customers and, therefore, reflects unit case volume for both consolidated and unconsolidated bottlers. Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" below.
Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in equivalent unit cases) sold by, or used in finished products sold by, the Company to its bottling partners or other customers. Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" below.
Our Bottling Investments operating segment and our other finished product operations typically generate net operating revenues by selling sparkling soft drinks and a variety of other beverages, such as juices, juice drinks, sports drinks, waters, teas and coffees, to retailers or to distributors, wholesalers and bottling partners who distribute them to retailers. In addition, in the United States, we manufacture fountain syrups and sell them to fountain retailers such as restaurants and convenience stores who use the fountain syrups to produce beverages for immediate consumption, or to authorized fountain wholesalers or bottling partners who resell the fountain syrups to fountain retailers. For these consolidated finished product operations, we recognize the associated concentrate sales volume at the time the unit case or unit case equivalent is sold to the customer. Our concentrate operations typically generate net operating revenues by selling concentrates and syrups to authorized bottling operations. For these concentrate operations, we recognize concentrate revenue and concentrate sales volume when we sell concentrate and syrups to the authorized unconsolidated bottling operations, and we typically report unit case volume when finished products manufactured from the concentrates and syrups are sold to the customer. When we analyze our net operating revenues we generally consider the following four factors: (1) volume growth (concentrate sales volume or unit case volume, as applicable); (2) acquisitions and divestitures (including structural changes defined below), as applicable; (3) changes in price, product and geographic mix; and (4) foreign currency fluctuations. Refer to the heading "Net Operating Revenues" below.
We generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling and distribution operations as structural changes, which are a component of acquisitions and divestitures. Typically, structural changes do not impact the Company's unit case volume or concentrate sales volume on a consolidated basis or at the geographic operating segment level. We recognize unit case volume for all sales of Company beverage products, with the exception of Costa, regardless of our ownership interest in the bottling partner, if any. However, the unit case volume reported by our Bottling Investments operating segment is generally impacted by structural changes because it only includes the unit case volume of our consolidated bottling operations. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Company's acquisitions and divestitures.
"Acquired brands" refers to brands acquired during the past 12 months. Typically, the Company has not reported unit case volume or recognized concentrate sales volume related to acquired brands in periods prior to the closing of a transaction. Therefore, the unit case volume and concentrate sales volume from the sale of these brands is incremental to prior year volume. We do not generally consider acquired brands to be structural changes.
"Licensed brands" refers to brands not owned by the Company, but for which we hold certain rights, generally including, but not limited to, distribution rights, and from which we derive an economic benefit when these brands are ultimately sold. Typically, the Company has not reported unit case volume or recognized concentrate sales volume related to these brands in periods prior to the beginning of the term of a license agreement. Therefore, in the year that the licenses are entered into, the unit case volume and concentrate sales volume from the sale of these brands is incremental to prior year volume. We do not generally consider newly licensed brands to be structural changes.
In 2019, the Company acquired Costa. The impact of this acquisition has been included in acquisitions and divestitures in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Global Ventures operating segment. We do not report unit case volume or concentrate sales volume for Costa.
In 2019, the Company acquired the remaining equity ownership interest in C.H.I. Limited ("CHI"). The impact of this acquisition has been included in acquisitions and divestitures in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Europe, Middle East and Africa operating segment.
In 2018, the Company acquired a controlling interest in the Philippine bottling operations, which was previously accounted for as an equity method investee. The impact of this acquisition has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments. The

43



Company also acquired a controlling interest in the franchise bottler in Oman. The impact of this acquisition has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments operating segment.
In 2018, the Company refranchised our Canadian and Latin American bottling operations. The impact of these refranchising activities has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for our North America, Latin America and Bottling Investments operating segments. In addition, for non-Company-owned and licensed brands sold in the Canadian refranchised territories for which the Company no longer reports unit case volume, we have eliminated the unit case volume from the base year when calculating 2019 versus 2018 volume growth rates on a consolidated basis as well as for the North America and Bottling Investments operating segments. Refer to the headings "Beverage Volume" and "Net Operating Revenues" below.
The Company sells concentrates and syrups to both consolidated and unconsolidated bottling partners. The ownership structure of our bottling partners impacts the timing of recognizing concentrate revenue and concentrate sales volume. When we sell concentrates or syrups to our consolidated bottling partners, we are not able to recognize the concentrate revenue or concentrate sales volume until the bottling partner has sold finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party or independent customer. When we sell concentrates or syrups to our unconsolidated bottling partners, we recognize the concentrate revenue and concentrate sales volume when the concentrates or syrups are sold to the bottling partner. The subsequent sale of the finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party or independent customer does not impact the timing of recognizing the concentrate revenue or concentrate sales volume. When we account for an unconsolidated bottling partner as an equity method investment, we eliminate the intercompany profit related to these transactions to the extent of our ownership interest until the equity method investee has sold finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party or independent customer.
Beverage Volume
We measure the volume of Company beverage products sold in two ways: (1) unit cases of finished products and (2) concentrate sales. As used in this report, "unit case" means a unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S. fluid ounces of finished beverage (24 eight-ounce servings); and "unit case volume" means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of Company beverage products directly or indirectly sold by the Company and its bottling partners to customers. Unit case volume primarily consists of beverage products bearing Company trademarks. Also included in unit case volume are certain products licensed to, or distributed by, our Company, and brands owned by Coca-Cola system bottlers for which our Company provides marketing support and from the sale of which we derive economic benefit. In addition, unit case volume includes sales by certain joint ventures in which the Company has an equity interest. We believe unit case volume is one of the measures of the underlying strength of the Coca-Cola system because it measures trends at the consumer level. The unit case volume numbers used in this report are derived based on estimates received by the Company from its bottling partners and distributors. Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in equivalent unit cases) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the Company to its bottling partners or other customers. Unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates are not necessarily equal during any given period. Factors such as seasonality, bottlers' inventory practices, supply point changes, timing of price increases, new product introductions and changes in product mix can impact unit case volume and concentrate sales volume and can create differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates. In addition to the items mentioned above, the impact of unit case volume from certain joint ventures in which the Company has an equity interest but to which the Company does not sell concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters or powders/minerals may give rise to differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates. The Company does not report unit case volume or concentrate sales volume for Costa, a component of the Global Ventures operating segment.

1 Bottling Investments operating segment data reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.
2 Geographic and Global Ventures operating segment data reflects unit case volume growth for all bottlers, both consolidated and unconsolidated, and distributors in the applicable geographic areas.
3 Unit case volume percent change is based on average daily sales. Unit case volume growth based on average daily sales is computed by comparing the average daily sales in each of the corresponding periods. Average daily sales are the unit cases sold during the period divided by the number of days in the period.
4 Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in equivalent unit cases) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the Company to its bottling partners or other customers and is not based on average daily sales. Each of our interim reporting periods, other than the fourth interim reporting period, ends on the Friday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. As a result, the first quarter of 2019 had one less day when compared to the first quarter of 2018, and the fourth quarter of 2019 will have one additional day when compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.
5  
After considering the impact of structural changes, unit case volume for Bottling Investments for the three months ended March 29, 2019 grew 7 percent.
6 Due to uncertainties related to t he United Kingdom’s impending withdrawal from the European Union ("Brexit"), our bottling partners in certain European markets increased their concentrate inventory levels above their normal optimal levels. We estimate that approximately 4 percent of Europe, Middle East and Africa's concentrate sales growth was a result of this activity. We currently expect the concentrate inventory levels of these bottlers to return to optimal levels throughout 2019.
7 After considering the impact of structural changes, concentrate sales volume for North America for the three months ended March 29, 2019 declined 3 percent.
8  
After considering the impact of structural changes, concentrate sales volume for Asia Pacific for the three months ended March 29, 2019 grew 6 percent.
Unit Case Volume
Although a significant portion of our Company's revenues is not based directly on unit case volume, we believe unit case
volume is one of the measures of the underlying strength of the Coca-Cola system because it measures trends at the consumer level. The unit case volume for 2019 and 2018 reflects the impact of the transfer of distribution rights with respect to non-Company-owned brands that were previously licensed to us in our Canadian bottling territories that have since been refranchised. The Company eliminated the unit case volume related to this structural change from the base year when calculating the volume growth rates. Refer to the heading "Structural Changes, Acquired Brands and Newly Licensed Brands" above.
Three Months Ended March 29, 2019 versus Three Months Ended March 30, 2018
Unit case volume in Europe, Middle East and Africa grew 2 percent, which included growth of 1 percent in sparkling soft drinks and 8 percent in water, enhanced water and sports drinks. Growth in sparkling soft drinks was primarily driven by Trademark Coke. The group reported increases in unit case volume in the Western Europe; Central & Eastern Europe; Turkey, Caucasus & Central Asia; and West Africa business units. The increases in these business units were partially offset by decreases in the Middle East & North Africa and South & East Africa business units. Growth in the Western Europe business unit was primarily driven by sparkling soft drinks.
In Latin America, unit case volume declined 1 percent, which included a 2 percent decline in sparkling soft drinks, partially offset by growth of 2 percent in water, enhanced water and sports drinks. The group's volume reflected a decline of 7 percent and 1 percent in the South Latin and Mexico business units, respectively, partially offset by growth of 5 percent in the Brazil business unit.

45



Unit case volume in North America declined 1 percent, reflecting a 2 percent decline in sparkling soft drinks. The group's sparkling soft drinks volume included a decline of 1 percent in Trademark Coca-Cola. The decline in sparkling soft drinks was partially offset by 1 percent growth in water, enhanced water and sports drinks.
In Asia Pacific, unit case volume grew 7 percent, reflecting 7 percent growth in sparkling soft drinks and 11 percent growth in water, enhanced water and sports drinks. Growth in sparkling soft drinks volume included 8 percent growth in Trademark Coca‑Cola, 10 percent growth in Trademark Fanta and 6 percent growth in Trademark Sprite. Volume within the water, enhanced water and sports drinks category cluster included growth of 13 percent in packaged water. The group's volume reflects growth of 8 percent in the Greater China & Korea business unit, 14 percent in the ASEAN business unit and 6 percent in the India & South West Asia business unit. The growth in these business units was partially offset by a decline of 3 percent in the South Pacific business unit. Volume in the Japan business unit was even.
Unit case volume for Global Ventures, excluding Costa for which we do not report unit case volume, grew 1 percent, which included growth of 9 percent in juice, dairy and plant-based beverages and growth in energy drinks, partially offset by a decline in tea.
Unit case volume for Bottling Investments grew 16 percent. This increase primarily reflects the impact of the recent acquisition of a controlling interest in the Philippine bottling operations as well as growth in India.
Concentrate Sales Volume
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , worldwide unit case volume grew 2 percent and concentrate sales volume grew 1 percent compared to the three months ended March 30, 2018 . Concentrate sales volume growth is calculated based on the amount of concentrate sold during the reporting periods, which is impacted by the number of days. Conversely, unit case volume growth is calculated based on average daily sales, which is not impacted by the number of days in the reporting periods. The first quarter of 2019 had one less day when compared to the first quarter of 2018, which contributed to the differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates on a consolidated basis and for the individual operating segments during the three months ended March 29, 2019 . In addition, the differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates during the three months ended March 29, 2019 were due to the timing of concentrate shipments (including shipments resulting from uncertainties due to Brexit), structural changes and the impact of unit case volume from certain joint ventures in which the Company has an equity interest but to which the Company does not sell concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters or powders/minerals.
Net Operating Revenues
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , net operating revenues were $8,020 million , compared to $7,626 million during the three months ended March 30, 2018 , an increase of $394 million, or 5 percent.
The following table illustrates, on a percentage basis, the estimated impact of key factors resulting in the increase (decrease) in net operating revenues on a consolidated basis and for each of our operating segments:

1 Represents the percent change in net operating revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for our geographic operating segments and our Global Ventures operating segment (excluding Costa) (expressed in equivalent unit cases) after considering the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. For our Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net operating revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed by comparing the total sales (rather than the average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes. Our Bottling Investments operating segment data reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only after considering the impact of structural changes. Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" above.
Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" above for additional information related to changes in our unit case and concentrate sales volumes.

46



"Acquisitions and divestitures" refers to acquisitions and divestitures of brands or businesses, some of which the Company considers to be structural changes. Refer to the heading "Structural Changes, Acquired Brands and Newly Licensed Brands" above for additional information related to the structural changes.
"Price, product and geographic mix" refers to the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred.
Price, product and geographic mix had a 5 percent favorable impact on our consolidated net operating revenues. Price, product and geographic mix was impacted by a variety of factors and events including, but not limited to, the following:
Europe, Middle East and Africa — favorable price mix across most markets and favorable geographic mix primarily from the timing of concentrate shipments as a result of certain bottlers increasing their concentrate inventories due to uncertainties related to Brexit;
Latin America — favorable price mix in all four of the segment's business units and the impact of inflationary environments in certain markets;
North America — favorable pricing initiatives;
Asia Pacific — unfavorable geographic mix;
Global Ventures — favorable product mix; and
Bottling Investments — favorable price, product and package mix in certain bottling operations and favorable geographic mix.
We estimate that revenue recognized on incremental concentrate shipments related to Brexit was approximately $100 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates decreased our consolidated net operating revenues by 6 percent. This unfavorable impact was primarily due to a stronger U.S. dollar compared to certain foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, South African rand and Australian dollar, which had an unfavorable impact on all of our operating segments. Refer to the heading "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position — Foreign Exchange" below.
Net operating revenue growth rates are impacted by sales volume; acquisitions and divestitures; price, product and geographic mix; and foreign currency fluctuations. The size and timing of acquisitions and divestitures are not consistent from period to period. The Company currently expects acquisitions and divestitures to have a favorable impact of 8 percent to 9 percent on 2019 full year net operating revenues. Based on current spot rates and our hedging coverage in place, we expect currencies will have an unfavorable impact on net operating revenues through the end of the year.
Gross Profit Margin
As a result of our finished goods operations, which are primarily included in our North America and Bottling Investments operating segments, the following inputs represent a substantial portion of the Company's total cost of goods sold: (1) sweeteners, (2) metals, (3) juices and (4) polyethylene terephthalate ("PET"). The Company enters into hedging activities related to certain commodities in order to mitigate a portion of the price risk associated with forecasted purchases. Many of the derivative financial instruments used by the Company to mitigate the risk associated with these commodity exposures, including any related foreign currency exposure, do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, the changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are included as a component of net income in each reporting period. During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company recorded a net gain of $19 million related to these derivative instruments in the line item cost of goods sold in our condensed consolidated statement of income. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our gross profit margin decreased to 62.7 percent for the three months ended March 29, 2019 , compared to 64.1 percent for the three months ended March 30, 2018 . This decrease was primarily due to the impact of structural changes as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , selling, general and administrative expenses increased $26 million, or 1 percent, versus the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily the result of acquisitions and divestitures, partially offset by a foreign currency exchange rate impact of 5 percent.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased advertising expenses by 6 percent.
The increase in selling and distribution expenses during the three months ended March 29, 2019 was primarily due to the impact of structural changes, partially offset by the impact of one less day in the quarter and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The decrease in other operating expenses during the three months ended March 29, 2019 reflects the impact of structural changes and savings from our productivity initiatives.
As of March 29, 2019 , we had $371 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under our plans, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years as stock-based compensation expense. This expected cost does not include the impact of any future stock-based compensation awards.

During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , operating income was $2,336 million , compared to $1,811 million during the three months ended March 30, 2018 , an increase of $525 million, or 29 percent.
Operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2019 was favorably impacted by the timing of concentrate shipments, price mix, lower other operating charges and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted consolidated operating income by 15 percent due to a stronger U.S. dollar compared to certain foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, South African rand and Australian dollar, which had an unfavorable impact on all of our operating segments. Refer to the heading "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position — Foreign Exchange" below.
The Company's Europe, Middle East and Africa segment reported operating income of $978 million and $914 million for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , respectively. Operating income for the segment reflects concentrate sale volume growth of 4 percent, which included additional concentrate shipments resulting from certain of our European bottling partners increasing concentrate inventory levels due to uncertainties related to Brexit, and favorable price, product and geographic mix, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 15 percent.
Latin America reported operating income of $496 million and $571 million for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , respectively. Operating income for the segment was unfavorably impacted by a concentrate sales volume decline of 3 percent and an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 20 percent, partially offset by favorable price mix.
Operating income for North America for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $586 million and $503 million , respectively. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by favorable price mix, lower other operating charges and lower operating expenses as a result of productivity initiatives. These favorable impacts were partially offset by a decline in concentrate sale volume of 2 percent.

50



Asia Pacific's operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $542 million and $562 million , respectively. The decrease in operating income was driven by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 3 percent, unfavorable price and geographic mix, and the impact of structural changes. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by concentrate sales volume growth of 1 percent.
Global Ventures operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $66 million and $29 million , respectively. Operating income for the segment was favorably impacted by the acquisition of Costa.
Operating income for our Bottling Investments segment for the three months ended March 29, 2019 was $1 million compared to an operating loss of $461 million for the three months ended March 30, 2018 . Operating income in 2019 was impacted by lower other operating charges, unit case sales volume growth of 16 percent and favorable price mix.
Corporate's operating loss for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $333 million and $307 million , respectively. Operating loss in 2019 was unfavorably impacted by higher other operating charges, partially offset by savings from our productivity initiatives.
Based on current spot rates and our hedging coverage in place, we expect currencies will have an unfavorable impact on operating income through the end of the year.        
Interest Income
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , interest income was $129 million , compared to $165 million during the three months ended March 30, 2018 , a decrease of $36 million, or 22 percent. This decrease was driven by lower investment balances due to liquidating a portion of our short-term investments in connection with the acquisition of Costa. Refer to  Note 2  of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , interest expense was $232 million , compared to $230 million during the three months ended March 30, 2018 , an increase of $2 million, or 1 percent. This increase was primarily due to the impact of higher short-term U.S. interest rates, which was offset by lower average short-term borrowings as well as lower current maturities of long-term debt.
Equity Income (Loss) — Net
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , equity income was $133 million , compared to equity income of $142 million during the three months ended March 30, 2018 , a decrease of $9 million, or 6 percent. This decrease reflects, among other things, the impacts of the sale of our equity ownership interest in Corporación Lindley S.A. and the sale of a portion of our equity ownership interest in Embotelladora Andina S.A. ("Andina"), as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, the Company recorded net charges of $42 million and $51 million in the line item equity income (loss) — net during the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , respectively. These amounts represent the Company's proportionate share of significant operating and nonoperating items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.
Other Income (Loss) — Net
Other income (loss) — net includes, among other things, the impact of foreign currency exchange gains and losses; dividend income; rental income; gains and losses related to the disposal of property, plant and equipment; gains and losses related to business combinations and disposals; non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and postretirement benefit plans; other benefit plan charges and credits; realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and trading debt securities; and realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are primarily the result of the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities from certain currencies into functional currencies. The effects of the remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are partially offset by the impact of our economic hedging program for certain exposures on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the  three months ended   March 29, 2019 , other income (loss) — net was a loss of $234 million . The Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $286 million related to CCBJHI, an equity method investee. The Company also recognized a $121 million loss in conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining equity ownership interest in CHI and a $57 million other-than-temporary impairment charge related to one of our equity method investees in North America. Additionally, the Company recognized net charges of $4 million due to the refranchising of certain bottling territories in North America and charges of $4 million primarily related to payments made to convert the bottling agreements for certain North America bottling partners' territories to a single form of comprehensive beverage agreement ("CBA") with additional requirements. These charges were partially offset by a net gain of $149 million related to realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, a

51



gain of $39 million related to the sale of a portion of our equity ownership interest in Andina and a gain of $34 million related to economic hedging activities. Other income (loss) — net also included income of $25 million related to the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost and $11 million of dividend income, partially offset by net foreign currency exchange losses of $24 million. None of the other items included in other income (loss) — net during the  three months ended   March 29, 2019 was individually significant. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on refranchising activities, the North America conversion payments, the acquisition of the remaining equity ownership interest in CHI and the sale of a portion of our equity ownership interest in Andina. Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on equity and debt securities. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on economic hedging activities. Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on how the Company determined the impairment charges and the loss recognized in conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining equity ownership interest in CHI. Refer to Note 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact these items had on our operating segments and Corporate.
During the  three months ended   March 30, 2018 , other income (loss) — net was a loss of  $55 million . The Company recorded a net loss of  $85 million  related to realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities and a net loss of  $33 million  primarily related to the reversal of the cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the substantial liquidation of the Company's former Russian juice operations. The Company also recorded charges of  $19 million  primarily related to payments made to convert the bottling agreements for certain North America bottling partners' territories to a single form of CBA with additional requirements. Other income (loss) — net also included income of $59 million related to the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost and $18 million of dividend income, partially offset by net foreign currency exchange losses of $16 million. None of the other items included in other income (loss) — net during the  three months ended   March 30, 2018 was individually significant. Refer to  Note 2  of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the North America conversion payments. Refer to  Note 4  of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our equity and debt securities. Refer to  Note 17  of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact these items had on our operating segments and Corporate.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded income taxes from continuing operations of $486 million ( 22.8 percent effective tax rate) and $506 million ( 27.6 percent effective tax rate) during the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 varies from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to the tax impact of significant operating and nonoperating items, along with the tax benefits of having significant operations outside the United States and significant earnings generated in investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, both of which are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was lower compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to $176 million of additional tax expense in 2018 to adjust our provisional tax estimate recorded as of December 31, 2017, related to the Tax Reform Act signed into law on December 22, 2017.
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for the tax years 2007 through 2009, after a five-year audit. Refer to Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION
We believe our ability to generate cash flows from operating activities is one of our fundamental financial strengths. Refer to the heading "Cash Flows from Operating Activities" below. The near-term outlook for our business remains strong, and we expect to generate substantial cash flows from operations in 2019. As a result of our expected cash flows from operations, we have significant flexibility to meet our financial commitments. The Company does not typically raise capital through the issuance of stock. Instead, we use debt financing to lower our overall cost of capital and increase our return on shareowners' equity. Refer to the heading "Cash Flows from Financing Activities" below. We have a history of borrowing funds both domestically and internationally at reasonable interest rates, and we expect to be able to do so in the future. Our debt financing includes the use of an extensive commercial paper program as part of our overall cash management strategy. The Company reviews its optimal mix of short-term and long-term debt regularly and may replace certain amounts of commercial paper, short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt with new issuances of long-term debt in the future. The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities totaled $11.9 billion as of March 29, 2019 . In addition to these funds, our commercial paper program and our ability to issue long-term debt, we had $8,600 million in lines of credit for general corporate purposes as of March 29, 2019 . These backup lines of credit expire at various times from 2019 through 2022.

52



Based on all of the aforementioned factors, the Company believes its current liquidity position is strong, and we will continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $ 699 million and $ 613 million , respectively, an increase of $86 million , or 14 percent. This increase was primarily driven by operating income growth, the acquisition of Costa in January 2019 and the efficient management of working capital, partially offset by the impact of refranchising bottling operations and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2019 was $4,315 million , compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1,321 million during the prior year comparable period.
Purchases of Investments and Proceeds from Disposals of Investments
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , purchases of investments were $ 1,062 million and proceeds from disposals of investments were $ 1,994 million , resulting in a net cash inflow of $932 million. During the three months ended March 30, 2018 , purchases of investments were $ 2,669 million and proceeds from disposals of investments were $ 4,379 million , resulting in a net cash inflow of $1,710 million. This activity represents the purchases of and proceeds related to our short-term investments that were made as part of the Company's overall cash management strategy as well as our insurance captive investments. Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Acquisitions of Businesses, Equity Method Investments and Nonmarketable Securities
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $5,201 million , which primarily related to the acquisition of Costa and the remaining interest in CHI. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During the three months ended March 30, 2018 , the Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $183 million , which primarily related to the acquisition of additional interests in the Company’s franchise bottlers in the United Arab Emirates and in Oman, both of which were equity method investees. As a result of the additional interest in the Oman bottler, we obtained a controlling interest, resulting in its consolidation. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Proceeds from Disposals of Businesses, Equity Method Investments and Nonmarketable Securities
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities were $261 million , which primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of a portion of our equity ownership interest in Andina.
During the three months ended March 30, 2018 , proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities were $3 million , which related to proceeds from the refranchising of our U.S. Virgin Islands bottling territories. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment
Purchases of property, plant and equipment net of disposals for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 were $338 million and $231 million , respectively.
The Company currently expects our 2019 full year capital expenditures related to continuing operations to be approximately $2.0 billion as we continue to make investments to enable growth in our business and further enhance our operational effectiveness.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our financing activities include net borrowings, issuances of stock, share repurchases and dividends. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $285 million and $284 million , respectively, an increase of $1 million .

53



Debt Financing
Issuances and payments of debt included both short-term and long-term financing activities. During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company had issuances of debt of $ 10,119 million , which included $6,199 million of net issuances related to commercial paper and short-term debt with maturities greater than 90 days, and long-term debt issuances of $3,920 million, net of related discounts and issuance costs.
The Company made payments of debt of $ 9,656 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019 , which included $4,738 million of payments of commercial paper and short-term debt with maturities greater than 90 days, $3,220 million of payments of commercial paper and short-term debt with maturities less than 90 days and payments of long-term debt of $1,698 million.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company issued euro-denominated debt totaling €3,500 million . The carrying value of this debt as of March 29, 2019 was $3,906 million . The general terms of the notes issued are as follows:
€750 million total principal amount of notes due 2021, at a variable interest rate equal to the three-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus 0.20 percent ;
€1,000 million total principal amount of notes due 2022, at a fixed interest rate of 0.125 percent ;
€1,000 million total principal amount of notes due 2026, at a fixed interest rate of 0.75 percent ; and
€750 million total principal amount of notes due 2031, at a fixed interest rate of 1.25 percent .
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company retired upon maturity €1,500 million total principal amount of notes due March 8, 2019 at a variable interest rate equal to the three-month EURIBOR plus 0.25 percent .
As of March 29, 2019 , the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt included $206 million of fair value adjustments related to the remaining debt assumed in connection with our acquisition of Coca‑Cola Enterprises Inc.'s former North America business ("Old CCE"). These fair value adjustments will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately 19 years, which is equal to the weighted-average maturity of the assumed debt to which these fair value adjustments relate. The amortization of these fair value adjustments will be a reduction of interest expense in future periods, which will typically result in our interest expense being less than the actual interest paid to service the debt.
Issuances of Stock
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company received cash proceeds from issuances of stock of $ 190 million , a decrease of $287 million when compared to cash proceeds from issuances of stock of $477 million during the three months ended March 30, 2018 . This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the exercise of stock options by Company employees.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 , the Company repurchased 8.7 million shares of common stock under the share repurchase plan authorized by our Board of Directors. These shares were repurchased at an average cost of $45.81 per share, for a total cost of $398 million. However, due to the timing of settlements, the total cash outflow for treasury stock purchases was $ 397 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019 . The total cash outflow for treasury stock during the first three months of 2019 includes treasury stock that was purchased and settled during the three months ended March 29, 2019 , however, it does not include treasury stock that was purchased but did not settle during the three months ended March 29, 2019 . In addition to shares repurchased, the Company's treasury stock activity also includes shares surrendered to the Company to pay the exercise price and/or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with so-called stock swap exercises of employee stock options and/or the vesting of restricted stock issued to employees. The net impact of the Company's issuances of stock and share repurchases during the three months ended March 29, 2019 resulted in a net cash outflow of $207 million . In 2019, we expect to repurchase shares to offset dilution resulting from employee stock-based compensation plans.
Dividends
During the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , the Company did not make any cash payments for dividends. The Company paid the first quarter dividend in both 2019 and 2018 during the first week of April.
Our Board of Directors approved the Company's regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share at its April 2019 meeting. This dividend is payable on July 1, 2019 to shareowners of record as of June 14, 2019.

54



Foreign Exchange
Our international operations are subject to certain opportunities and risks, including currency fluctuations and governmental actions. We closely monitor our operations in each country and seek to adopt appropriate strategies that are responsive to changing economic and political environments as well as to fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Our Company conducts business in more than 200 countries and territories. Due to the geographic diversity of our operations, weakness in some foreign currencies may be offset by strength in others. Our foreign currency management program is designed to mitigate, over time, a portion of the potentially unfavorable impact of exchange rate changes on net income and earnings per share. Taking into account the effects of our hedging activities, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased our operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2019 by 15 percent.
Based on current spot rates and our hedging coverage in place, we expect currencies will have an unfavorable impact on operating income and cash flows from operations through the end of the year.

1 Includes an increase in net assets of $926 million resulting from net foreign currency translation adjustments in various balance sheet line items.
The increases (decreases) in the table above include the impact of the following transactions and events:
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities decreased primarily due to funding the acquisition of Costa.
Other assets increased primarily as a result of our adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842,  Leases  ("ASC 842") and the acquisition of Costa , which required us to record $1,242 million of operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets.
Trademarks with indefinite lives and goodwill increased primarily due to $2.4 billion of trademarks and $2.5 billion of goodwill related to the preliminary allocation of the Costa purchase price.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased primarily due to the accrual of the Company's first quarter 2019 dividend of approximately $1.7 billion, which was paid during the first week of April. Additionally, accounts payable and accrued expenses increased due to our adoption of ASC 842 and the acquisition of Costa , which required us to record $251 million related to the current portion of operating lease liabilities.
Loans and notes payable decreased primarily due to net payments of commercial paper and short-term debt.
Current maturities of long-term debt decreased as a result of payments of long-term debt. Refer to the heading "Cash Flows from Financing Activities" above for additional information.
Long-term debt increased primarily due to the Company's recent issuances of euro-denominated debt. Refer to the heading "Cash Flows from Financing Activities" above for additional information.

56



Other liabilities increased as a result of our adoption of ASC 842 and the acquisition of Costa , which required us to record $1,017 million related to the noncurrent portion of operating lease liabilities.
Refer to Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our adoption of the new leases standard. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the acquisition of Costa.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have no material changes to the disclosures on this matter made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management has excluded from the scope of its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures those disclosure controls and procedures related to the operations and related assets of Costa that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting. The operations and related assets of Costa were included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of The Coca-Cola Company and subsidiaries beginning January 3, 2019 and constituted 7 percent of total assets and 1 percent of consolidated net income as of and for the quarter ended March 29, 2019 . Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 29, 2019 .
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 29, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Additional Information
The Company is in the process of integrating the acquired Costa business into the Company's overall internal control over financial reporting process.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
Information regarding reportable legal proceedings is contained in Part I, "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2018 . The following updates and restates the description of the previously reported U.S. Federal Income Tax Dispute matter.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Dispute
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency ("Notice") from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the tax years 2007 through 2009, after a five-year audit. In the Notice, the IRS claimed that the Company's United States taxable income should be increased by an amount that creates a potential additional federal income tax liability of approximately  $3.3 billion  for the period, plus interest. No penalties were asserted in the Notice. The disputed amounts largely relate to a transfer pricing matter involving the appropriate amount of taxable income the Company should report in the United States in connection with its licensing of intangible property to certain related foreign licensees regarding the manufacturing, distribution, sale, marketing and promotion of products in overseas markets.
During the 2007-2009 audit period, the Company followed the same transfer pricing methodology for these licenses that had consistently been followed since the methodology was agreed with the IRS in a 1996 closing agreement that applied back to 1987. The closing agreement provided prospective penalty protection conditioned on the Company's continued adherence to the prescribed methodology absent change in material facts or circumstances or relevant federal tax law. Although the IRS subsequently asserted, without explanation, that material facts and circumstances and relevant federal tax law had changed, it has not asserted penalties. The Company's compliance with the closing agreement was audited and confirmed by the IRS in five successive audit cycles covering the subsequent 11 years through 2006, with the last audit concluding as recently as 2009.

57



The Notice represents a repudiation of the methodology previously adopted in the 1996 closing agreement. The IRS designated the matter for litigation on October 15, 2015. To the extent the matter remains designated, the Company will be prevented from pursuing any administrative settlement at IRS Appeals or under the IRS Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement Program.
The Company firmly believes that the IRS' claims are without merit and is pursuing, and will continue to pursue, all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to vigorously defend its position. To that end, the Company filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court on December 14, 2015, and the IRS filed its answer on February 12, 2016. On October 4, 2017, the IRS filed an amended answer to the Company's petition in which it increased its transfer pricing adjustment by  $385 million resulting in an additional tax adjustment of  $135 million .
On June 20, 2017, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on the portion of the IRS' adjustments related to our licensee in Mexico. On December 14, 2017, the U.S. Tax Court issued a decision on the summary judgment motion in favor of the Company. This decision effectively reduced the IRS' potential tax adjustment by approximately  $138 million .
The U.S. Tax Court trial was held from March 8, 2018 through May 11, 2018. The Company and the IRS filed simultaneous opening and answering post-trial briefs in October 2018 and February 2019, respectively. The Company filed a subsequent brief in March 2019 to which the IRS responded in April 2019. It is not known how much time will elapse thereafter prior to the issuance of the Court's decision. In the interim, or subsequent to the Court's decision, the IRS may propose similar adjustments for years subsequent to the 2007-2009 litigation period. While the Company continues to strongly disagree with the IRS' position, there is no assurance that the Court will rule in the Company's favor, and it is possible that all or some portion of the adjustment proposed by the IRS Notice ultimately could be sustained. In that event, the Company will be subject to significant additional liabilities for the years at issue and potentially also for subsequent periods, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

(8)     Responsibility for Taxes .
(a)      Irrespective of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the Recipient hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, National Insurance Contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Recipient’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Recipient (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the responsibility of the Recipient or the Recipient’s estate (as applicable) and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Recipient acknowledges and understands that the requirements with respect to the Tax-Related Items may change from time to time as applicable laws or interpretations change.
(b)    Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Recipient agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Recipient authorizes the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items withholding obligations by one or a combination of the following:

withholding from the Recipient’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Recipient by the Company and/or the Employer, or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(2)
withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Award, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Recipient’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
(3)
retention of or withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the Award.
(c)        If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Recipient is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(d)    In addition, the Recipient shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Recipient’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Recipient fails to comply with the Recipient’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
(e)    The Recipient further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, settlement or release of the Award, the issuance of Shares upon settlement or release of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement or release and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Recipient’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Recipient is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Recipient acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. For Recipients who are International Service Associates or covered by another international service policy, all Tax-Related Items remain the Recipient’s responsibility, except as expressly provided in the Company’s International Service Policy and/or Tax Equalization Policy.

The Recipient hereby agrees that (a) any change, interpretation, determination or modification of this Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and on all persons including the Company and the Recipient; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or modification of the Plan which affects the Award of Shares made hereby, the Compensation Committee shall have determined that such amendment or modification is in the best interests of the Recipient of such Award; and (b) this Agreement and the Award shall not affect in any way the right of the Company or the Employer to terminate or change the employment of the Recipient.

(b)        Recipient understands that KO and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of KO Stock or directorships held in KO, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)        Recipient understands that Data will be transferred to one or more a stock plan service provider(s) selected by KO, which may assist KO with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different, including less stringent, data privacy laws and protections than Recipient’s country.  Recipient understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting a local human resources representative.  Recipient authorizes KO and any other possible recipients that may assist KO (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing Recipient’s participation in the Plan.

3.
How to exercise the Options . In order to exercise an Option, it must be vested and must not have expired, and the optionee must do the following:
(a)
Pay the option price . The optionee must pay the option price. The optionee shall be informed of the acceptable form and method of payment at or before the time the optionee informs KO of his or her intention to exercise the Option. The acceptable forms and methods of payment of the option price may include payment in cash, pursuant to a cashless exercise authorized by KO, or by delivery, through attestation, of shares of KO Stock owned by the optionee. Not all forms and methods of payment are available in every country. The value of any shares delivered to pay the option price shall be computed on the basis of the most recent reported market price at which a share of KO Stock shall have been sold prior to the time of processing the optionee's election to deliver shares in payment of the option price, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing.
(b)
Complete all paperwork . The optionee must complete, sign and return any paperwork required by KO or by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith ("Merrill Lynch"), or such other agent as may administer the Option program on behalf of KO from time to time.
(c)
Pay applicable Tax-Related Items .
Irrespective of any action taken by the Company or, or if different, the optionee’s employer (the “Employer”), the optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, National Insurance Contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the responsibility of the optionee or the optionee’s estate or legal representative (as applicable) and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The optionee acknowledges and understands that the requirements with respect to the Tax-Related Items may change from time to time as applicable laws or interpretations change.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the optionee authorizes the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any tax withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
withholding from the optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the optionee by the Company and/or the Employer, or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of KO Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company. In this regard, the optionee agrees that, should KO or any Affiliate in its reasonable judgment determine that Tax-Related Items withholding is required upon exercise of the options, KO may instruct Merrill Lynch to withhold and/or sell shares of KO Stock acquired by the optionee upon exercise of his or her options, or
If the optionee is a U.S. taxpayer, he or she may elect to satisfy federal, state and local income Tax-Related Items liabilities due by reason of the exercise by having shares of KO Stock withheld or by delivering shares of KO Stock to the Company. The value of withheld shares shall be computed as described in paragraph 3(a) above.
If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of KO Stock, for tax purposes, the optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the shares are retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
In addition, the optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the KO Stock or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the optionee fails to comply with the optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
The optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the issuance of shares of KO Stock upon exercise, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. For optionees who are International Service Associates, all Tax-Related Items remain the optionee’s responsibility, except as expressly provided in KO’s International Service Policy and/or tax equalization program.



EXHIBIT 10.2

(d)
Pay applicable fees . The optionee agrees to pay to Merrill Lynch any costs associated with the sale of shares of KO Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options, whether such shares are sold to pay the option price, to satisfy Tax-Related Items or for other reasons.

Right of set-off . By accepting this Agreement, the optionee agrees that, should KO or any Affiliate in its reasonable judgment determine that optionee owes KO or any Affiliate any amount due to any loan, note, obligation or indebtedness, including but not limited to amounts owed to KO pursuant to KO’s tax equalization program or KO’s policies with respect to travel and business expenses, and if the optionee has not satisfied such obligation(s), then KO may instruct Merrill Lynch to withhold and/or sell shares of KO Stock acquired by the optionee upon exercise of his or her Options, or KO may deduct funds equal to the amount of such obligation from the optionee's salary or other funds due to the optionee from KO.
(f)
Comply with additional restrictions . The optionee agrees that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of KO (the “Committee”), or its designee, may, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion at or before the time the optionee informs KO of his or her intention to exercise the Option, establish any additional conditions or restrictions with respect to the exercise of the Option, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the acceptable form or method of payment of the option price and restrictions for failing to promptly submit to KO or any Affiliate, a tax organizer, or such other tax-related documents reasonably requested by KO or, if different, the Employer, pursuant to KO’s tax equalization program (if optionee is a participant in such program). The optionee shall be informed of such restrictions. The optionee agrees to comply with any such additional conditions or restrictions.
4.
Non‑qualified Option under U.S. Tax Laws . The Options are not intended to be, and shall not be treated as, incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
5.
Options are not transferable . The optionee may not assign or transfer the Options in any situation, including, but not limited to, divorce; provided that upon the optionee's death the Options may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the optionee, the Options shall be exercisable only by the optionee personally or, in the event of the optionee's Disability if a legal representative has been appointed to act on behalf of the optionee, then by the optionee's legal representative.
6.
Forfeiture of Options and Option gain In the event optionee shall engage in a “Prohibited Activity” (as defined on Schedule A hereto), at any time during the term of the Options, or within one year after termination of optionee’s employment from KO, the Employer or any Affiliate, or within one year after exercise of all or any portion of the Options, whichever occurs latest, this Option shall be rescinded and, if applicable, any gain associated with any exercise of this Option shall be forfeited and repaid to KO. Accordingly, if the optionee engages in a Prohibited Activity, then:
(a)
as of the date that the optionee participates in such Prohibited Activity, all unexercised portions of this Option immediately and automatically shall terminate, be forfeited, and shall cease to be exercisable (unless such Option has been terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of the Plan or this Agreement); and
(b)
within ten days after receiving from KO written notice of the termination of this Option, the optionee shall pay to KO any and all gains associated with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, plus interest calculated from the time of such notice through the date of repayment to KO. The gain associated with the exercise of any portion of this Option shall be the closing price per share on the date of the exercise thereof, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing, less the option price per share shown above, multiplied by the number of Options exercised. Interest shall be calculated using the weighted prime rate at SunTrust Bank, Atlanta.
Optionee may be released from the effects of this section if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such action is in the best interest of KO and its stockholders.

When the issuance or transfer of KO Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option may, in the opinion of KO, conflict or be inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation of any governmental agency having jurisdiction, KO reserves the right to refuse to issue or transfer that KO Stock.
10.
Data Privacy . The following provisions shall apply to the optionee only if he or she resides outside the US, UK, the EU and EEA:
(a)
Optionee voluntarily consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Plan materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, KO and any Affiliate or employer for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing his or her participation in the Plan.
(b)
Optionee understands that KO and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of KO Stock or directorships held in KO, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)
Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to one or more a stock plan service provider(s) selected by KO, which may assist KO with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different, including less stringent, data privacy laws and protections than optionee’s country.  Optionee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting a local human resources representative.  Optionee authorizes KO and any other possible recipients that may assist KO (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing optionee’s participation in the Plan.



EXHIBIT 10.2

(d)
Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.  Optionee understands that if he or she resides in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, to the extent required by applicable laws, optionee may, at any time, request access to Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents given by accepting the option, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing a local human resources representative.  Further, optionee understands that he or she is providing these consents on a purely voluntary basis.  If optionee does not consent or if he or she later seeks to revoke consent, his or her engagement as a service provider with KO or an Affiliate will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that KO will not be able to grant him or her awards under the Plan or administer or maintain awards.  Therefore, optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan (including the right to retain the Option).  Optionee understands that he or she may contact a local human resources representative for more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent.
The following provisions shall apply to the optionee only if he or she resides in the UK, EU or EEA:

(e)
Data Collected and Purposes of Collection.  Optionee understands that KO, acting as controller, as well as the employer, may collect, to the extent permissible under applicable law, certain personal information about him or her, including name, home address and telephone number, information necessary to process the option (e.g., mailing address for a check payment or bank account wire transfer information), date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, employment location, any capital shares or directorships held in KO (but only where needed for legal or tax compliance), any other information necessary to process mandatory tax withholding and reporting, details of all options granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, and where applicable service termination date and reason for termination  (all such personal information is referred to as “Data”).  The Data is collected from the optionee, the employer, and from KO, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The legal basis (that is, the legal justification) for processing the Data is to perform this n Agreement.  The Data must be provided in order for optionee to participate in the Plan and for the parties to this Agreement to perform their respective obligations thereunder.  If optionee does not provide Data, he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan and become a party to this Agreement.
(f)
Transfers and Retention of Data.  Optionee understands that the employer will transfer Data to KO for purposes of plan administration. KO and the employer may also transfer optionee’s Data to other service providers (such as accounting firms, payroll processing firms or tax firms), as may be selected by KO in the future, to assist KO with the implementation, administration and management of this Agreement.  Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission.  Where an optionee is located in a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision, the transfer of the Data to that optionee will be made pursuant to an adequate transfer mechanism, such as the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, a copy of which may be obtained at samori@coca-cola.com .   Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement, and for the duration of the relevant statutes of limitations, which may be longer than the term of this Agreement.
(g)
Rights in Respect of Data. KO will take steps in accordance with applicable legislation to keep Data accurate, complete and up-to-date.  Optionee is entitled to have any inadequate, incomplete or incorrect Data corrected (that is, rectified).  Optionee also has the right to request access to his or her Data as well as additional information about the processing of that Data.  Further, optionee is entitled to object to the processing of Data or have his or her Data erased, under certain circumstances.  As from May 25, 2018, and subject to conditions set forth in applicable law, optionee also is entitled to (i) restrict the processing of his or her Data so that it is stored but not actively processed (e.g., while KO assesses whether he or she is entitled to have Data erased) and (ii) receive a copy of the Data provided pursuant to this Agreement or generated by optionee, in a common machine-readable format.  To exercise his or her rights, optionee may contact a local human resources representative.  Optionee may also contact the relevant data protection supervisory authority, as he or she has the right to lodge a complaint.  The data protection officer may be contacted at samori@coca-cola.com.

(l)
the Option grant and the optionee's participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate the optionee's employment or service relationship (if any); and
(m)
if the optionee is providing services outside the United States, the optionee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the optionee's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to me pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any shares of KO Stock acquired upon exercise.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Options granted to the optionee under the Plan if the optionee works in one of the countries listed below. If the optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the optionee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the optionee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the grant date, KO will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions herein will be applicable to the optionee.

Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other tax or legal issues of which the optionee should be aware with respect to the optionee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of December 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, KO strongly recommends that the optionee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the optionee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Options vest, the optionee exercises the Options or the optionee sells shares of KO Stock acquired under the Plan.

Accordingly, the optionee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the optionee’s country may apply to his or her situation. Furthermore, additional privacy laws may apply in the optionee’s country.
Finally, if the optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the optionee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the optionee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the grant date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the optionee in the same manner.

If the transfer of funds received in connection with the Option into Argentina is made within 10 days of receipt, 30% of the amount transferred into Argentina may be subject to mandatory deposit in a non-interest bearing account for a holding period of 365 days. The Argentine bank handling the transaction may request certain documentation in connection with the request to transfer sale proceeds into Argentina ( e.g. , evidence of the sale, proof of the source of the funds used to purchase the shares, etc.). If the bank determines that the 10-day rule or any other rule or regulation promulgated by the Argentine Central Bank has not been satisfied, it will require that 30% of the proceeds be placed in a non-interest bearing deposit account for a holding period of 365 days.

The optionee is solely responsible for complying with the exchange control rules that may apply to the optionee in connection with his or her participation in the Plan and/or transfer of proceeds from the sale of shares of KO Stock or receipt of dividends acquired under the Plan into Argentina.

The participation in the Plan is exempt or excluded from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Directive as implemented in Belgium. Participation in the Plan is also anticipated to be exempt or excluded from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation in force from July 2019.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information

The optionee is required to report any taxable income attributable to the Option on his or her annual tax return. Additionally, Belgian residents are required to report any security or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) maintained outside of Belgium on their annual tax return. In a separate report, they will be required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with certain details regarding such foreign accounts.

Tax Information
This section is intended to advise optionees of potential tax impacts of certain actions or inactions under Belgian law. This section is applicable to any optionee who is subject to income tax in Belgium, including residents. Optionees are urged to consult their personal tax advisers when considering all matters regarding the Option grant set forth in the Agreement.
Options accepted within 60 days following the offer date
At grant : Stock Options that are accepted in writing within 60 days following the offer date are taxable on the date of grant. (Grant date is deemed to be the 60th day following the date of offer.) The taxable benefit is calculated as a percentage of the closing market price on the last trading day preceding the date of offer, plus any excess of the closing market price over the option price. Optionee acknowledges that these taxes are required to be paid even if the Options are later forfeited for any reason, including without limitation termination of employment, and/or the optionee is not actually able to realize value from the Options. The tax paid may not be refunded by the Belgian revenue agency.
At exercise : No Belgian tax consequences, unless the optionee breaks his or her commitment to hold and not exercise the Options before the end of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the offer was made.
At sale : In principle, no Belgian tax consequences. KO will report details of Option benefits—both at the time of grant and possibly at the time of exercise if the Options are exercised before the expiration of the committed holding period. Tax is due and payable with the optionee’s individual income tax return for the year of grant and possibly in the year of exercise.
Options accepted after the 60th day following the offer date
At grant : In principle, under current guidance from the Belgian tax authorities, no Belgian tax consequences.
At exercise : According to current guidance from the Belgian Minister of Finance, Options that are accepted in writing after the 60th day following the offer date are not subject to taxation at grant, but to taxation at exercise. The taxable benefit is the difference between the actual value of the shares of KO Stock at exercise less the Option price paid. KO will report details of Option benefits at exercise to the Belgian tax authorities through the annual salary statement for the year in which the Options are exercised. Belgian income tax is due and payable upon receipt of the notice of assessment, with the optionee’s individual tax return for the income year of exercise.
At sale : In principle, no Belgian tax consequences. KO and its Affiliates make no guarantee of any tax consequences to the optionee, as laws and guidance may change. In the case of any such changes, the optionee will accept the possibility of corresponding changes in KO’s obligation in respect of reporting and withholding.
Declining Options
If the optionee declines the Options, no tax will be owed at any time, but the Options will be declared null and void.
Special note for international service associates
Individuals resident in Belgium who are on international assignment under a KO or Affiliate program ( e.g. , ISAs or ESAs) are requested to accept the Options after 60 days of the date of offer. Should an international assignee accept the Options prior to 60 days from the date of offer, any taxes due on the grant of the Options shall be the international assignee’s personal responsibility and shall not be covered by the tax equalization policy.

EXHIBIT 10.2

future grants of Options issued to the optionee hereafter) are subject to local exchange control requirements, including the following special terms and conditions:

(i) Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan and the Agreement to the contrary, the optionee will be restricted to the cashless sell-all method of exercise with respect to his or her Options. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise, the optionee understands that he or she should instruct the broker to: (i) sell all of the shares of KO Stock issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the option price, any applicable Tax‑Related Items and brokerage fees or commissions; and (iii) remit the balance in cash to the optionee.

(ii) Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan and the Agreement to the contrary, the optionee understands and agrees that upon termination of employment for any reason whatsoever, the optionee (or, in the event of death, the optionee’s legal representative) will be permitted to exercise any unexercised Options for the shorter of the post-termination exercise period (if any) set forth in the Agreement and six (6) months of the termination of employment, or within any other such time frame as may be required or permitted by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) Shanghai branch but in any event no later than the Option expiration date.

(iii) The optionee must repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the shares of KO Stock issued upon the exercise of the Options to China.

(iv) KO will deliver the proceeds of the cashless sell-all exercise of Options sale of shares of KO Stock (less any Tax Related Items and any brokerage fees or commissions) to the optionee as soon as possible, but there may be delays in distributing the funds to the optionee due to exchange control requirements in China. Proceeds may be paid to the optionee in U.S. dollars or local currency at KO’s discretion.

If any of the terms of this Agreement may in the opinion of the Company conflict or be inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation of any governmental agency having jurisdiction, the Company reserves the right to modify this Agreement to be consistent with applicable laws or regulations.
(12)     Data Privacy . The following provisions shall apply to the Recipient only if he or she resides outside the US, UK, the EU and EEA:
(a)         Recipient voluntarily consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Plan materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, KO and any Affiliate or employer for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing his or her participation in the Plan.
(b)        Recipient understands that KO and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of KO Stock or directorships held in KO, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)        Recipient understands that Data will be transferred to one or more a stock plan service provider(s) selected by KO, which may assist KO with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different, including less stringent, data privacy laws and protections than Recipient’s country.  Recipient understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting a local human resources representative.  Recipient authorizes KO and any other possible recipients that may assist KO (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing Recipient’s participation in the Plan.
(d)        Recipient understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.  Recipient understands that if he or she resides in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, to the extent required by applicable laws, Recipient may, at any time, request access to Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents given by accepting the Award, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing a local human resources representative.  Further, Recipient understands that he or she is providing these consents on a purely voluntary basis.  If Recipient does not consent or if he or she later seeks to revoke consent, his or her engagement as a service provider with KO or an Affiliate will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that KO will not be able to grant him or her awards under the Plan or administer or maintain awards.  Therefore, Recipient understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan (including the right to retain the Award).  Recipient understands that he or she may contact a local human resources representative for more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent.
The following provisions shall apply to the Recipient only if he or she resides in the UK, EU or EEA:
(e)        Data Collected and Purposes of Collection.  Recipient understands that KO, acting as controller, as well as the employer, may collect, to the extent permissible under applicable law, certain personal information about him or her, including name, home address and telephone number, information necessary to process the Award (e.g., mailing address for a check payment or bank account wire transfer information), date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, employment location, any capital shares or directorships held in KO (but only where needed for legal or tax compliance), any other information necessary to process mandatory tax withholding and reporting, details of all Awards granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, and where applicable service termination date and reason for termination  (all such personal information is referred to as “Data”).  The Data is collected from the Recipient, the employer, and from KO, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The legal basis (that is, the legal justification) for processing the Data is to perform this n Agreement.  The Data must be provided in order for Recipient to participate in the Plan and for the parties to this Agreement to perform their respective obligations thereunder.  If Recipient does not provide Data, he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan and become a party to this Agreement.
(f)        Transfers and Retention of Data.  Recipient understands that the employer will transfer Data to KO for purposes of plan administration. KO and the employer may also transfer Recipient’s Data to other service providers

5


EXHIBIT 10.3

(such as accounting firms, payroll processing firms or tax firms), as may be selected by KO in the future, to assist KO with the implementation, administration and management of this Agreement.  Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission.  Where a recipient is located in a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision, the transfer of the Data to that recipient will be made pursuant to an adequate transfer mechanism, such as the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, a copy of which may be obtained at samori@coca-cola.com . Recipient understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement, and for the duration of the relevant statutes of limitations, which may be longer than the term of this Agreement.
(g)    Rights in Respect of Data. KO will take steps in accordance with applicable legislation to keep Data accurate, complete and up-to-date.  Recipient is entitled to have any inadequate, incomplete or incorrect Data corrected (that is, rectified).  Recipient also has the right to request access to his or her Data as well as additional information about the processing of that Data.  Further, Recipient is entitled to object to the processing of Data or have his or her Data erased, under certain circumstances.  As from May 25, 2018, and subject to conditions set forth in applicable law, Recipient also is entitled to (i) restrict the processing of his or her Data so that it is stored but not actively processed (e.g., while KO assesses whether he or she is entitled to have Data erased) and (ii) receive a copy of the Data provided pursuant to this Agreement or generated by Recipient, in a common machine-readable format.  To exercise his or her rights, Recipient may contact a local human resources representative.  Recipient may also contact the relevant data protection supervisory authority, as he or she has the right to lodge a complaint.  The data protection officer may be contacted at samori@coca-cola.com.
(13)      Nature of Award . In accepting the Award, the Recipient acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(g)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of the Recipient’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Recipient is employed or the terms of the Recipient’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to which the Recipient is otherwise not entitled, the Recipient irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Recipient shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed

EXHIBIT 10.3

(j)    if the Recipient is providing services outside the United States, the Recipient acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Recipient’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to the Recipient pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

(15)     Entire Agreement; Severability . The Plan and this Agreement set forth the entire understanding between the Recipient, the Employer, the Company, and any Affiliate regarding the acquisition of the Shares and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to this Award.
