Restructuring and Impairment Charges

2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

The multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 13, 2014 (2014 Productivity Plan) includes the next generation of productivity initiatives that we believe will strengthen our food, snack and beverage businesses by: accelerating our investment in manufacturing automation; further optimizing our global manufacturing footprint, including closing certain manufacturing facilities; re-engineering our go-to-market systems in developed markets; expanding shared services; and implementing simplified organization structures to drive efficiency. The 2014 Productivity Plan is in addition to the productivity plan we began implementing in 2012 and is expected to continue the benefits of that plan.

In the 12 weeks ended September 5, 2015 and September 6, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $43 million ($33 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) and $54 million ($39 million after-tax or $0.03 per share), respectively, in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. In the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2015 and September 6, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $94 million ($73 million after-tax or $0.05 per share) and $227 million ($167 million after-tax or $0.11 per share), respectively, in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. All of these net charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and primarily relate to severance and other employee-related costs, asset impairments (all non-cash) and contract termination costs. The majority of the restructuring accrual at September 5, 2015 is expected to be paid by the end of 2015.

2012 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

The multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 9, 2012 (2012 Productivity Plan) includes actions in every aspect of our business that we believe will strengthen our complementary food, snack and beverage businesses by: leveraging new technologies and processes across PepsiCo’s operations, go-to-market and information systems; heightening the focus on best practice sharing across the globe; consolidating manufacturing, warehouse and sales facilities; and implementing simplified organization structures, with wider spans of control and fewer layers of management. The 2012 Productivity Plan continues to enhance PepsiCo’s cost-competitiveness and provide a source of funding for future brand-building and innovation initiatives.

In the 12 weeks ended September 5, 2015 and September 6, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $9 million ($8 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) and $14 million ($12 million after-tax or $0.01 per share), respectively, in conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan. In the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2015 and September 6, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $19 million ($16 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) and $31 million ($29 million after-tax or $0.02 per share), respectively, in conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan. All of these net charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and primarily relate to severance and other employee-related costs, asset impairments (all non-cash) and contract termination costs. Substantially all of the restructuring accrual at September 5, 2015 is expected to be paid by the end of 2015.
