Net sales growth was further reduced by 2 percentage points of unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Unfavorable foreign currency translation further reduced SOP growth by 2 percentage points.

Reported income from operations for the quarter was $412 million, which included $25 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains.

In CSDs, Squirt increased 8% in the quarter on strong growth in both the U.S. and Mexico, and Schweppes grew 9% on increased promotional activity at a large retailer. Peñafiel and Crush each grew 4%. Brand Dr Pepper decreased 1%, as growth in our fountain foodservice business was more than offset by declines in diet.

Clamato increased 14% in the quarter on distribution gains and increased promotional activity, while Hawaiian Punch decreased 5% primarily on price increases on single-serve packages.

Beverage Concentrates
Net sales increased 4% in the quarter on concentrate price increases taken earlier in the year and a 1% increase in concentrate shipments. Lower discounts further increased net sales as favorable trade accrual adjustments were partially offset by increases related to our fountain foodservice business. SOP increased 4% driven by net sales growth, which was partially offset by increases in marketing investments and certain operating costs.

Packaged Beverages
Net sales increased 3% in the quarter on favorable product and package mix and price increases, which were partially offset by lower contract manufacturing volumes. SOP increased 11% on net sales growth, lower commodity and logistics costs and ongoing productivity improvements. These increases were partially offset by increases in certain operating costs, including a one-time charge of $4 million related to a transition of a certain employee benefit program.

Latin America Beverages
Net sales increased 10% in the quarter on a 6% increase in sales volumes, favorable product mix and higher net pricing. SOP was flat in the quarter, as the segment incurred $5 million of higher U.S. dollar denominated input costs which caused a 19% decline in SOP. The aforementioned foreign currency transaction cost taken together with increases in certain operating and logistics costs collectively offset net sales growth and ongoing productivity improvements.

Corporate and Other Items
For the quarter, corporate costs totaled $52 million, which included $25 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains. Corporate costs in the prior year period were $70 million, which included $5 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains.

Other income increased $23 million in the quarter as a result of a $21 million gain on the extinguishment of a multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability.

Net interest expense increased $5 million in the quarter driven by higher debt balances and refinancing of certain debt in the prior year.

For the quarter, the reported effective tax rate was 35.3%. The effective tax rate in the prior year period was 35.5%.

Cash Flow
Year-to-date, the company generated $407 million of cash from operating activities net of the $35 million multi-employer pension plan settlement payment, compared to $349 million in the prior year period. Capital spending totaled $68 million compared to $42 million in the prior year period. The company returned $493 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases ($303 million) and dividends ($190 million).

2016 Full Year Guidance
The company continues to expect full year reported net sales to be up approximately 2% and now expects core EPS to be in the $4.27 to $4.35 range. Collectively, foreign currency translation and transaction are expected to continue to negatively impact net sales by approximately 1% and are now expected to negatively impact core EPS growth by approximately 3%.

Packaging and ingredient costs are now expected to decrease COGS by approximately 1% on a constant volume/mix basis.

The company continues to expect its core tax rate to be approximately 35.5%.

The company continues to expect capital spending to be approximately 3% of net sales.

The company continues to expect to repurchase $650 million to $700 million of its common stock.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION
(Unaudited)

The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP measures that reflect the way management evaluates the business may provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis. Specifically, investors should consider the following with respect to our quarterly results:

Net sales and Segment Operating Profit, as adjusted to currency neutral: Net sales and Segment Operating Profit are calculated on a currency neutral basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.

Core earnings: Core earnings is defined as net income adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods. The certain item excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 is a gain on the extinguishment of a multi-employer withdrawal liability. The certain item excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, is an adjustment to a previously disclosed legal provision.
