"We're pleased with our performance in the first quarter of 2014. PepsiCo delivered mid-single-digit organic revenue growth and double-digit core constant currency earnings per share growth, despite ongoing macroeconomic volatility, political instability and other challenging marketplace conditions in a number of our key markets," said Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi.

        global beverages in the quarter. On a reported basis, revenue grew 1

        changes. Each operating segment had organic revenue growth in the
        quarter.
    --  Developing and emerging market organic revenue grew 9 percent in the
        quarter. On a reported basis, developing and emerging market net revenue
        declined 2 percent in the quarter, reflecting structural changes and
        unfavorable foreign exchange translation.
    --  Core gross margin expanded 40 basis points in the quarter reflecting
        implementation of effective revenue management strategies and
        productivity initiatives. Core operating margin expanded 50 basis points

        in Europe. Reported operating profit increased 9 percent and included
        the net impact of mark-to-market gains on commodity hedges, certain
        restructuring costs in 2014 and the lapping of the devaluation of net
        monetary assets in Venezuela in the prior-year quarter.
    --  The company's core effective tax rate was 23.7 percent and the reported
        effective tax rate was 24.1 percent, both below the prior-year quarter.

        mark-to-market net gains on commodity hedges and a $0.05 negative impact
        from restructuring charges. Mark-to-market net gains and losses on
        commodity hedges are subsequently reflected in core division results
        when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in
        operating profit.
    --  Cash flow provided by operating activities was $181 million.
    --  Company is on track to deliver targeted $1 billion of productivity
        savings in 2014.

Miscellaneous Disclosures

In discussing financial results and guidance, the company may refer to certain non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of any such non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures in accordance with GAAP can be found in the attached exhibits, as well as on the company's website at www.pepsico.com in the "Investors" section under "Events & Presentations." Our non-GAAP measures exclude from reported results those items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing performance and reflect how management evaluates our operating results and trends.

Glossary

Acquisitions and divestitures: All merger and acquisition activity, including the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees.

Beverage volume: Volume shipped to retailers and independent distributors from both PepsiCo and our bottlers.

Constant currency: Financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior year average foreign exchange rates.

Core: Core results are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain items from our historical results. In 2014, core results exclude the commodity mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses and restructuring and impairment charges. In 2013, core results exclude the commodity mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses, merger and integration charges in connection with our acquisition of Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods OJSC (WBD), restructuring and impairment charges and a charge related to the 2013 Venezuela currency devaluation. See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information" for additional information.

A - 12

Division operating profit: The aggregation of the operating profit for each of our reportable segments, which excludes the impact of corporate unallocated expenses.

Effective net pricing: Reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.

Free cash flow: Net cash provided by operating activities less capital spending plus sales of property, plant and equipment. See above for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP (operating cash flow).

Free cash flow, excluding certain items: Free cash flow, excluding: (1) discretionary pension and retiree medical contributions, (2) merger and integration payments, (3) payments related to restructuring charges, (4) net capital investments related to restructuring plan and (5) the tax impacts associated with each of these items, as applicable. This non-GAAP financial measure is our primary measure used to monitor cash flow performance. See above for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP (operating cash flow). See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information" for additional information.

Mark-to-market gain or loss or net impact: Change in market value for commodity contracts that we purchase to mitigate the volatility in costs of energy and raw materials that we consume. The market value is determined based on average prices on national exchanges and recently reported transactions in the marketplace.

Net capital spending: Capital spending less cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment.

Organic: A measure that adjusts for impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes, and in the case of organic revenue, foreign exchange translation. In excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation, we assume constant foreign exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. See the definition of "Constant currency" for additional information.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information (unaudited)

Division operating profit, core results, core constant currency results and organic results are non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude certain items noted below. However, we believe investors should consider these measures as they are more indicative of our ongoing performance and reflect how management evaluates our operational results and trends.

Commodity mark-to-market net impact

In the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2014, we recognized $34 million of mark-to-market net gains on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses. In the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2013, we recognized $16 million of mark-to-market net losses on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses. We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include agricultural products, energy and metals. Certain of these commodity derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are marked to market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in corporate unallocated expenses, as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit.

Merger and integration charges

In the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2013, we incurred merger and integration charges of $1 million related to our acquisition of WBD, recorded in the Europe segment.

Restructuring and impairment charges

2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

In the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2014, we incurred restructuring and impairment charges of $96 million in conjunction with the multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 13, 2014 (2014 Productivity Plan), including $12 million recorded in the FLNA segment, $2 million recorded in the QFNA segment, $1 million recorded in the LAF segment, $82 million recorded in the PAB segment, $2 million recorded in the Europe segment, $2 million recorded in the AMEA segment and income of $5 million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses representing adjustments of previously recorded amounts. The 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.

A - 13

2012 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

In the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2014, we incurred restructuring and impairment charges of $2 million in conjunction with the multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 9, 2012 (2012 Productivity Plan), including $1 million recorded in the FLNA segment, $4 million recorded in the PAB segment, $2 million recorded in the AMEA segment, $2 million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses and income of $5 million recorded in the LAF segment and $2 million recorded in the Europe segment representing adjustments of previously recorded amounts.

In the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2013, we incurred restructuring and impairment charges of $11 million in conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan, including $2 million recorded in the FLNA segment, $4 million recorded in the LAF segment, $4 million recorded in the Europe segment, $1 million recorded in the AMEA segment, $1 million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses and income of $1 million recorded in the QFNA segment representing adjustments of previously recorded amounts. The 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.

Venezuela currency devaluation

In the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2013 we recorded a $111 million net charge related to the devaluation of the bolivar for our Venezuela businesses. $124 million of this charge was recorded in corporate unallocated expenses, with the balance (equity income of $13 million) recorded in our PAB segment.

Free cash flow, excluding certain items

Additionally, free cash flow (excluding the items noted in the Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Reconciliation table) is the primary measure management uses to monitor cash flow performance. This is not a measure defined by GAAP. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. Additionally, we consider certain other items (included in the Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Reconciliation table) in evaluating free cash flow which we believe investors should consider in evaluating our free cash flow results.

2014 guidance and long-term targets

Our 2014 core tax rate guidance and our 2014 core constant currency EPS guidance exclude the commodity mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses and restructuring and impairment charges. Our 2014 organic revenue guidance and our long-term organic revenue growth target exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes. In addition, our 2014 organic revenue guidance, our full-year projected 2014 core constant currency EPS guidance and our long-term organic revenue growth target exclude the impact of foreign exchange. We are not able to reconcile our full-year projected 2014 core tax rate guidance to our full-year projected 2014 reported tax rate or our 2014 core constant currency EPS guidance to our full-year projected 2014 reported EPS growth because we are unable to predict the 2014 impact of foreign exchange or the mark-to-market net impact on commodity hedges due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. We are also unable to reconcile our full-year projected 2014 organic revenue guidance to our full-year projected 2014 reported net revenue growth or our long-term organic revenue growth target to our long-term net revenue growth target because we are unable to predict the 2014 and long-term impact of foreign exchange due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures.
