Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Equity Method Investments | Note 6. Equity Method Investments Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $6,223 million as of June 30, 2018 and $6,345 million as of December 31, 2017. Our largest investments are in Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”) and Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”). JDE: As of June 30, 2018, we held a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.3% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. We recorded JDE equity earnings of $42 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $19 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $88 million in the first six months of 2018 and $38 million in the first six months of 2017. We also recorded $73 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2018 and $49 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2017. Keurig: As of June 30, 2018, we held a 24.2% ownership interest in Keurig. We recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $20 million, $6 million and $2 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $15 million, $6 million and $2 million in the second quarter of 2017. We recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $36 million, $12 million and $5 million in the first six months of 2018 and $29 million, $12 million and $6 million in the first six months of 2017. Keurig Dr Pepper Transaction: On July 9, 2018, Keurig closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("Keurig Dr Pepper", NYSE: “KDP”). Following the close of the merger, our ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper was 13.8%. In our third quarter 2018, we expect to record a gain related to the conversion of our investment in Keurig (including our shareholder loan receivable) into an investment in Keurig Dr Pepper. As we will continue to have significant influence, we will continue to account for our investment in Keurig Dr Pepper under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows. We have nominated two directors to the board of Keurig Dr Pepper and will have certain additional governance rights. In our future filings, we will recast our financial statements and reflect our share of Keurig’s historical results and Keurig Dr Pepper’s ongoing results on a quarter lag basis. A lag will allow us to record our share of Keurig Dr Pepper’s results timely after they have publicly reported their results and to facilitate comparisons of our operating results across all reported periods.
