Company Accelerates the Global Expansion of Low- and No-Sugar Sparkling Soft Drinks

Full Year Underlying Performance Outlook Remains Unchanged; Full Year Comparable EPS (Non-GAAP) Target Raised on Diminished Currency Headwinds

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Coca-Cola Company today reported second quarter 2017 operating results. James Quincey, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Coca-Cola Company, said, "Our second quarter results demonstrate continued progress against the strategic priorities we have laid out to accelerate the transformation of our business into a total beverage company with balanced growth across a consumer-centric portfolio. Not only did we see strong performance during the quarter in rapidly expanding areas of our Company, such as our innocent juice and smoothie business in Europe, our organic revenue growth in sparkling soft drinks was led by innovation in and marketing support for our low- and no-sugar options like Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, which continues to roll out around the world. Our performance gives us confidence that we will achieve our full year financial objectives even in the face of challenging conditions, and also demonstrates further success in evolving our portfolio to meet changing consumer tastes and preferences. While we are in a period of substantial transformation and change that is never easy, I am encouraged by the spirit of our people and partners as we reinvent the Company for the future."

Outlook

The 2017 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures which management uses in measuring performance. We are not able to reconcile our full year 2017 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to our full year 2017 projected reported net revenues, our full year 2017 projected comparable currency neutral income before income taxes (structurally adjusted) (non-GAAP) to our full year 2017 projected reported income before income taxes, or our full year 2017 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to our full year 2017 projected reported EPS without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the exact timing of acquisitions, divestitures and/or structural changes throughout 2017. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our full year 2017 GAAP financial results.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(UNAUDITED)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or referred to herein as "reported"). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures: "comparable net revenues", "organic revenues", "core business organic revenues", "comparable operating margin", "comparable income before income taxes", "comparable currency neutral income before income taxes", "comparable currency neutral income before income taxes (structurally adjusted)", "comparable EPS", "comparable currency neutral EPS", "underlying effective tax rate", "free cash flow" and "net share repurchases", each of which are defined below. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and Company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

DEFINITIONS

During 2016, the Company deconsolidated our South African bottling operations and disposed of its related equity method investment in exchange for equity method investments in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa Limited ("CCBA") and CCBA's South African subsidiary. As part of the transaction, the Company also acquired and licensed several brands. The deconsolidation and new equity method investments impacted our Europe, Middle East and Africa and Bottling Investments operating segments. The brands and licenses that the Company acquired impacted the

DEFINITIONS (continued)

Company’s unit case volume and concentrate sales volume and therefore, in addition to being included as a structural change, they are also considered acquired brands. Also in 2016, the Company deconsolidated our German bottling operations as a result of their being combined to create Coca-Cola European Partners plc ("CCEP"). As a result of the transaction, the Company now owns an equity method investment in CCEP. The deconsolidation and new equity method investment impacted our Europe, Middle East and Africa and Bottling Investments operating segments. These transactions were included as structural items in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis and for the applicable operating segments. These transactions were also included as structural items in our analysis of comparable currency neutral income before income taxes (structurally adjusted) (non-GAAP) on a consolidated basis.

results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Company's underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as "items impacting comparability" based on how management views our business; makes financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions; and evaluates the Company's ongoing performance. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as impacting only the current period or the comparable period, but not both, or as pertaining to different and unrelated underlying activities or events across comparable periods, are generally considered "items impacting comparability". Items impacting comparability include asset impairments and restructuring charges, charges related to our productivity and reinvestment initiatives, and transaction gains/losses, in each case when exceeding a U.S. dollar threshold. Also included are timing differences related to our economic (nondesignated) hedging activities and our proportionate share of similar items incurred by our equity method investees, regardless of size. In addition, we provide the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates had on our financial results ("currency neutral operating results" defined above).

Asset Impairments and Restructuring

Asset Impairments

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded charges of $653 million and $737 million, respectively, related to the impairment of Coca-Cola Refreshments ("CCR") assets that are recorded in our Bottling Investments operating segment, primarily as a result of current year refranchising activities in North America and management's view of the proceeds that are expected to be received for the remaining bottling territories upon their refranchising. This charge was determined by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying values.

Restructuring

During the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, the Company recorded charges of $41 million and $240 million, respectively. These charges were related to the integration of our German bottling operations, which were deconsolidated in May 2016.

Productivity and Reinvestment

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded charges of $87 million and $226 million, respectively, related to our productivity and reinvestment initiatives. The Company also recorded charges of $65 million and $128 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, respectively. These productivity and reinvestment initiatives are focused 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. The savings realized from the program will enable the Company to fund marketing initiatives and innovation required to deliver sustainable net revenue growth. The savings will also support margin expansion and increased returns on invested capital over time.

Equity Investees

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net gain of $37 million and a net charge of $21 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, the Company recorded net charges of $18 million and $21 million, respectively. These amounts represent the Company’s proportionate share of significant operating and nonoperating items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.

Transaction Gains/Losses

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded charges of $44 million and $104 million, respectively, primarily related to costs incurred to refranchise certain of our bottling operations. The Company also recorded charges of $52 million and $97 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, respectively. These costs include, among other items, internal and external costs for individuals directly working on the refranchising efforts, severance, and costs associated with the implementation of information technology systems to facilitate consistent data standards and availability throughout our North America bottling system.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded charges of $4 million and $6 million, respectively. The Company also recorded charges of $32 million and $33 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, respectively. These charges were for noncapitalizable transaction costs associated with pending and closed transactions.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded net charges of $214 million and $711 million, respectively. The Company also recorded charges of $199 million and $568 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, respectively. These charges were primarily due to the derecognition of the intangible assets transferred or reclassified as held for sale as a result of the refranchising of certain bottling territories in North America. The net charges included a gain of $1,060 million recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the Southwest Transaction.

Other Items

Economic (Nondesignated) Hedges

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

The Company excludes the net impact of mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding hedges and realized gains/losses for settled hedges from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying exposure being hedged impacts our condensed consolidated statement of income. We believe this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our economic hedging activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016, the net impact of the Company's adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in an increase of $34 million and a decrease of $95 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016, the net impact of the Company's adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in an increase of $30 million and a decrease of $71 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.

Donation to The Coca-Cola Foundation

During the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, the Company recorded a charge of $100 million due to contributions the Company made to The Coca-Cola Foundation.

Other

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net charge of $38 million related to the repurchase and/or extinguishment of long-term debt.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded impairment charges of $14 million and$34 million, respectively, related to Venezuelan intangible assets as a result of weaker sales and volatility of foreign currency exchange rates resulting from continued political instability. These charges were determined by comparing the fair value of the assets, derived using discounted cash flow analyses, to the respective carrying values.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded other charges of $21 million and $27 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, the Company recorded other charges of $7 million and $10 million, respectively. These charges were primarily related to tax litigation expense.

Certain Tax Matters

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $29 million and $82 million, respectively, of excess tax benefits associated with the Company's share-based compensation arrangements. The Company also recorded a net tax benefit of $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and a net tax charge of $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, as well as the impact of the reversal of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, the Company recorded net tax charges of $83 million and $77 million, respectively, related to amounts required to be recorded for changes to our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties.

2017 OUTLOOK

Our 2017 outlook for comparable revenues, organic revenues, comparable income before income taxes, comparable currency neutral income before income taxes (structurally adjusted) and comparable EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, and the impact of structural items, as applicable. We are not able to reconcile our full year 2017 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to our full year 2017 projected reported net revenues, our full year 2017 projected comparable currency neutral income before income taxes (structurally adjusted) (non-GAAP) to our full year 2017 projected reported income before income taxes, or our full year 2017 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to our full year 2017 projected reported EPS without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the exact timing of acquisitions, divestitures and/or structural changes throughout 2017. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our full year 2017 GAAP financial results.
