PANAMERICAN BEVERAGES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Balances in the tables are stated in thousands of
U.S. dollars, except share amounts)
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by Panamerican Beverages, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Company"), in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the opinion of
management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position
as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the consolidated
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations
of the SEC. These unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC on April 1, 2002. Except for the Company's adoption of EITF No. 01-9,
"Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (including
a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," as described in Note 2 of "Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements," the Company has not made any changes
in any of the Company's critical accounting policies during the first
nine months of 2002, nor has the Company made any material changes in any
of the critical accounting estimates underlying these accounting policies
during the first nine months of 2002.
The financial statements of the Venezuelan subsidiary for all periods
have been remeasured into U.S. dollars, the reporting and functional
currency, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52,
"Foreign Currency Translation", as it applies to highly inflationary
economies. The functional currencies of the remaining subsidiaries are
the Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Colombian peso, Costa Rican colon,
Nicaraguan cordova and Guatemalan quetzal, which financial statements
have been translated using the current rate translation method and the
resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of shareholders'
equity. During 2001, the Company discontinued classifying Colombia as a
highly inflationary economy, and, accordingly, the functional currency of
the Colombian operations was changed from the U.S. dollar to the
Colombian peso. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001,
the Company recorded in its condensed consolidated statements of
operations a net translation gain, for the Venezuelan subsidiary, of $2.6
million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded in its condensed
consolidated statements of operations a net translation gain, for the
Venezuelan subsidiary, of $12.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
(2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires
companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities
when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit
or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by this standard include
lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are
associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, plant closing,
or other exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit
or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Balances in the tables are stated in thousands of
U.S. dollars, except share amounts)
(Unaudited)
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of the FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement to
classify gains and losses from the extinguishment of indebtedness as
extraordinary, requires certain lease modifications to be treated the
same as a sale-leaseback transaction, and makes other non-substantive
technical corrections to existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with earlier
adoption encouraged. The Company is currently assessing but has not yet
determined the impact of SFAS No.145 on its financial position and
results of operations and, as such, the Company is unable to disclose the
impact that adopting this statement will have on its financial position
and results of operations.
Reclassifications have been made in the 2001 condensed consolidated
statements of operations to conform to classifications used in the
current year, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
No. 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer
(including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)." EITF 01-9 became
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002, and requires certain
promotional payments made to customers by the Company, that were
previously classified as selling and distribution expenses, to be
classified as a reduction from net sales. The Company reclassified as a
reduction from net sales approximately $5.4 million and $13.8 million of
selling expenses, which were previously classified as selling and
distribution expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which requires goodwill to be tested for impairment
and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized over useful
lives, as previous standards required. SFAS No. 142 became effective for
the Company beginning January 1, 2002. Had the Company adopted SFAS No.
142 on the first day of 2001, for the three months ended September 30,
2001, amortization expense would have been lowered by $6.6 million and
net income would have increased $6.2 million (or $0.05 per diluted share)
to $36.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
amortization expense would have been lowered by $19.9 million and net
income would have increased $18.6 million (or $0.15 per diluted share) to
$110.3 million.
The change in the carrying amount of costs in excess of acquired
businesses, net ("goodwill") for the nine months ending September 30, 2002
is as follows:
TOTAL
---------------
Balance as of December 31, 2001 $ 869,056
Translation adjustment (34,260)
---------
Balance as of September 30, 2002 $ 834,796
=========
(3) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," basic earnings per
common share calculations are determined by dividing earnings available
to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock. Diluted earnings per share are determined by dividing earnings
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding,
related to outstanding stock options and nonvested stock grants.

stock for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and a total of $0.18
per share of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
(4) FACILITIES REORGANIZATION AND OTHER CHARGES
During 2000, the Company implemented company-wide reorganization programs
designed to improve productivity and strengthen the Company's competitive
position in the beverage industry. As of June 30, 2002, approximately
7,700 employees were terminated by the Company relating to the
reorganization programs implemented during 2000. As of June 30, 2002, the
reorganization programs have been completed and all remaining balances
related to accrued facilities reorganization costs totalling $4.2
million, which includes $1.1 million in cash charges and $3.1 million in
noncash charges were reversed into operating income and reflected as
Facilities reorganization and other charges in the Company's condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a gain on the sale
of its 12.1% equity stake in Cervejarias Kaiser, S.A. ("Kaiser") as part
of a larger transaction in which Molson, Inc. acquired Kaiser and entered
into a partnership with Heineken. The sale generated proceeds which
includes an interest of $18.2 million in Molson stock recorded as an
investment (the Molson stock received by Kaiser cannot be sold for a
period of two years). This sale resulted in a gain of $48.6 million,
which is included as part of Other income (expense), net, in the
Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company
will continue to distribute Kaiser products in its franchise areas in
Brazil and the acquisition of Kaiser will not impact this distribution
agreement.

(Balances in the tables are stated in thousands of

(Unaudited)
During the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded $98.4 million of facilities reorganization and other charges ($82.7
million, net of tax benefits) resulting primarily from the deterioration of macroeconomic conditions in some of the countries,
primarily in Venezuela, in which the Company operates. These charges consist of $14.4 million of severance charges throughout
the Company's operations, $69.1 million of asset write-offs and impairment charges primarily in the Company's Venezuelan
operations and $14.9 million related to obsolete machinery and discontinued product components. As of September 30, 2002,
approximately 1,200 of the 2,100 employees have been terminated by the Company resulting in severance payments totalling $16.9
million.
The following table shows a summary of facilities reorganization and other charges recorded in the condensed consolidated

f) The nonoperating charges (benefits) relate to the gain totalling
$48.6 million on the sale of Kaiser, offset by the loss on disposal
of nonoperating property, plant and equipment, mostly in Venezuela,
totalling $4.4 million, the sale, at a loss totalling $3.0 million,
of the corporate airplane to a related party, the loss on disposal
of investments, mostly in Colombia, totalling $1.4 million, a
provision for labor contingencies totalling $0.9 million, and the
payment of excise taxes totalling $5.8 million on soft drink
inventories containing high fructose corn syrup in Mexico during the
first quarter and the accrual of $2.5 million in the third quarter.
The payment of the excise taxes resulted from a law that was
suspended shortly after it was initiated, but subsequently
reinstated effective July 15, 2002. The Company has initiated legal
proceedings to seek a refund of the amounts already paid during the
first and fourth quarters of 2002.
As a result of the above, the Company's income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 was impacted by the facilities reorganization and
other charges totalling $45.4 million, net of the related tax benefit of
$18.3 million.

On April 22, 2002, the Company sold its corporate airplane for $10.5
million to a trust affiliated with a director of the Company. In
connection with this transaction, the Company terminated the operating
lease for the airplane by payment to the lending bank of $14.9 million
representing the amount outstanding under the lease. The Company believes
the terms of this transaction were no less favorable to the Company than
could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party.
On October 7, 2002, the Company announced that it had reached various
agreements with Coca-Cola to convert its Risco water volume in Mexico to
Coca-Cola's brand Ciel beginning in the first quarter of 2003. The

million to be paid by Coca-Cola, with $3.6 million of such amount to be
paid in the fourth quarter of 2002, $56.0 million of such amount to be
paid in the first quarter of 2003 and the remaining amount to be paid in

(9) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company's business exposes itself to many different market risks,
such as fluctuations in interest rates, currency exchange rates and
commodity prices. Consequently, the Company considers risk management as
an essential activity in the course of our business. The Company, from
time to time, utilizes hedging strategies to mitigate those risks. The
Company's hedging strategies may include the use of derivative
instruments, such as forwards, futures and options, generally with terms
not exceeding one year. While it is not the policy of the Company to
enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes, occasionally,
the Company may continue holding a derivative instrument for speculative
purposes if other business goals and strategies are present at the time.
The Company had a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap (the "Swap"),
expiring in November 2002, with a total notional amount outstanding at
December 31, 2001 of $250.0 million, which exchanges LIBOR for a fixed
interest rate of 6.437%. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," the Company designated
the Swap as a cash flow hedge. During 2001, the Company determined that
it was probable that the original forecasted transaction would not
continue through the expiration of the Swap and, therefore, discontinued
cash flow hedge accounting. The Company recognized an unrealized loss of
$0.1 million and $1.0 million, included in Other income (expense) net,
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, in
the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of
September 30, 2002, the fair value of the Swap was a liability of $3.0
million and is recorded in Accounts payable.

subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the

material purchases in Brazil, with total notional amounts of

September 30, 2002, the fair value of the foreign currency forward
purchase contract was a liability of $0.8 million and is recorded within

(10) SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Company operates in the bottling and distribution industries and in
markets throughout Latin America. The basis for determining the Company's
operating segments is the manner in which financial information is used
by the Company in its operations. Management operates and organizes
itself according to business units, which comprise the Company's products
across geographic locations. The Company evaluates performance and
allocates resources based on income or loss from operations. The
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Long-lived

(11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In September 2002, the Company formed a joint venture with Heineken N.V.
and Florida Ice and Farm Company S.A. ("Fifco") to acquire the Coca-Cola
bottler and a beer company in the Republic of Panama. On October 2, 2002,
the joint venture entity, CA Beverages, Inc. ("CA Beverages"), acquired:
(i) direct control of Coca Cola de Panama Compania Embotelladora, S.A.
("Coca-Cola Panama") through the purchase of fifty percent plus one share
of the capital stock of Coca-Cola Panama; and (ii) indirect control of
Cervecerias Baru-Panama, S.A. ("Cervecerias Baru") which is
majority-owned (51.5%) by Coca-Cola Panama. As the second step of this
transaction, CA Beverages is seeking to obtain up to 100% of the capital
stock of Coca-Cola Panama and Cervecerias Baru through public tender
offers in Panama, which are expected to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 2002. Upon completion of the public tender offers, CA
Beverages intends to sell its stake in Coca-Cola Panama to the Company
(and its stake in Cervecerias Baru to Heineken and Fifco) in exchange for
the cancellation of the funds that the Company has advanced to CA
Beverages to acquire Coca-Cola Panama and Cervecerias Baru. The purchase
price for 100% of the capital stock of Coca-Cola Panama is expected to be
approximately $61.3 million. The Company has financed the Panama
acquisition primarily through a $60.0 million loan from ING Bank that
matures on April 1, 2003 and bears interest at an average annual rate of
LIBOR plus 0.85%.

GENERAL
The following discussion addresses the financial condition and results of
operations of Panamerican Beverages, Inc. ("Panamco" or "we") and its
consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30,
2002 and December 31, 2001 and for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2002 and 2001 and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Results for
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any full
year.
We conduct our operations through tiers of subsidiaries in which, in some
cases, minority shareholders hold interests. Since we have varying percentage
ownership interests in our approximately 60 consolidated subsidiaries, the
amount of the minority interest in income or loss before minority interest
during a period depends upon the revenues and expenses of each of the
consolidated subsidiaries and the percentage of each of such subsidiary's
capital stock owned by minority shareholders during such period.
The results of operations of Panamco Mexico and Panamco Central America,
which consists of Panamco Costa Rica, Panamco Nicaragua and Panamco Guatemala,
are reported together as Panamco NOLAD (North Latin American Division).
Unit case means 192 ounces of finished beverage product (24 eight-ounce
servings). Average sales prices per unit case means net sales in U.S. dollars
for the period divided by the number of unit cases sold during the same
period. Cash operating profit ("COP") means operating income plus depreciation
and amortization and operating noncash facilities reorganization and other
charges. Because COP could be calculated differently by other companies, the
presentation herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures
of other companies. COP is not intended to represent and should not be
considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of
operating performance as determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Forward-looking statements, contained in this document include the amount
of future capital expenditures and the possible uses of proceeds from any
future borrowings. The words believes, intends, expects, anticipates,
projects, estimates, predicts, and similar expressions are also intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements, estimates, and
projections reflect various assumptions by our management, concerning
anticipated results and are subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our
control. Factors that could cause results to differ include, but are not
limited to, changes in the soft drink business environment, including actions
of competitors and changes in consumer preference, changes in governmental
laws and regulations, including income taxes, market demand for new and
existing products, raw material prices and devaluation of local currencies
against the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that such
statements, estimates and projections will be realized. The forecasts and
actual results will likely vary and those variations may be material. We make
no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such
statements, estimates or projections contained in this document or that any
forecast contained herein will be achieved. Additional information concerning
such factors is contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-8 as filed
with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 23, 2001, and the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 as
well as other documents filed with the SEC, all of which are available from
the SEC.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and
financial position in the preparation of our financial statements in
20
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates
under different assumptions and conditions. We have included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 a discussion of our
most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to
the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require
management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a
result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. Except for our adoption of EITF No. 01-9, "Accounting
for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (including a Reseller of the
Vendor's Products)," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
as described in Note 2 of "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements," we have not made any changes in any of these critical accounting
policies during the first nine months of 2002, nor have we made any material
changes in any of the critical accounting estimates underlying these
accounting policies during the first nine months of 2002.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 requires companies
to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.
Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and
certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring,
discontinued operations, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activities.
SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of the FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement to classify gains and
losses from the extinguishment of indebtedness as extraordinary, requires
certain lease modifications to be treated the same as a sale-leaseback
transaction, and makes other non-substantive technical corrections to existing
pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May
15, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. We are currently assessing but
have not yet determined the impact of SFAS No.145 on our financial position
and results of operations and, as such, we are unable to disclose the impact
that adopting this statement will have on our financial position and results
of operations.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 decreased 11.0%
to $563.7 million from $633.3 million in the third quarter of 2001. Net sales
was positively impacted by strong volume growth, of 4.5%, in NOLAD, but
currency weakness in Mexico, Brazil and, particularly, Venezuela, negatively
impacted net sales for the quarter.
The following comparison of Panamco's third quarter 2002 and 2001
consolidated results of operations excludes the effect of facilities
reorganization and other charges, during the third quarter of 2002, amounting
to $82.7 million, net of the related tax benefit of $15.7 million. See Note 4
of "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further
discussion on Panamco's facilities reorganization and other charges.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 51.8% during the
third quarter of 2002 from 48.9% in the 2001 period. This increase was mainly
the result of an increase in the cost of raw materials and packaging
throughout most operations, especially in Venezuela where the devaluation of
the Venezuelan Bolivar resulted in more costly U.S. dollar-denominated raw
materials purchases, as well as a continuous change in product mix towards
more one-way presentations for Panamco as a whole, which yield lower profit
margins on a percentage basis, when compared to returnables.
21
Cost of goods sold was also affected in the third quarter of 2002 by the
introduction, in the beginning of the year, of an excise tax in Mexico of 20%
on fructose-based soft drinks and on carbonated water, which resulted in
Panamco incurring additional costs resulting from the price differential
between sugar and high fructose syrup, as we stopped using fructose, and the
tax on sales of carbonated water. In March 2002, this tax was suspended until
September 30, 2002, but reinstated by a decision of the Mexican Supreme Court
in July 2002. Panamco has initiated legal proceedings to seek a refund of the
amounts already paid during the first and fourth quarters.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 48.2% during the
third quarter of 2002 from 51.1% in the third quarter of 2001, mainly the
result of a higher cost of raw materials and the aforementioned change in
product mix.
Panamco Venezuela incurred an operating loss of approximately $15.8
million during the third quarter of 2002, primarily due to a) Venezuela's
macroeconomic, political and social environments, which continued to
deteriorate with the currency devaluing approximately 90%, on an average, from
a year ago and consumers continuing to lose purchasing power, b) Panamco's
policy of matching our competitor's aggressive pricing, and 3) packaging
materials and sugar, which are dollar denominated costs, which increased
significantly against a base of local currency denominated revenues. Panamco
Venezuela continues to strengthen its partnership with The Coca-Cola Company,
jointly focusing on renewed advertising, retail execution, and channel
marketplace investments. Continued macroeconomic weakness and further
devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar (in excess of the rate of inflation) are
expected to continue for the remainder of 2002 into 2003.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to
40.3% during the third quarter of 2002 from 39.0% in the 2001 period, due
mainly to the impact of a larger decrease in net sales when compared to the
decrease in operating expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2002,
operating expenses totalled $226.9 million compared to $247.3 million for the
same period in 2001. The decrease in operating expenses is due in part to
lower goodwill amortization totalling $6.6 million as a result of adopting
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" as well as a 9.5%
reduction in depreciation expense, primarily the result of lower property,
plant and equipment balances.
Operating income decreased 41.4% to $44.8 million during the third
quarter of 2002 from $76.3 million in the 2001 period. Operating income during
the quarter was negatively impacted by higher raw material costs, mainly as a
result of currency devaluation, particularly in Mexico and Venezuela, a change
in product mix towards more one-way presentations for Panamco as a whole,
which yield lower profit margins, on a percentage basis, compared to
returnables and the impact of currency devaluation in Venezuela on net sales.
Cash operating profit decreased 32.0% to $91.6 million in 2002 from $134.6
million in the third quarter of 2001.
Net interest expense decreased 5.2% to $19.1 million during the third
quarter of 2002 from $20.2 million in the 2001 period, mainly resulting from
the combination of a 16.7% reduction in gross interest expense to $20.2
million from $24.2 million a year ago, which was partially offset by a 74.0%
reduction in interest income. The reduction in gross interest expense is the
result of a $76.8 million reduction in gross debt on a year over year basis as
well as a reduction of the interest rates applicable to certain of the
Company's variable rate debt.
Other expense, net increased to $12.9 million during the third quarter of
2002 from an expense of $3.5 million in the 2001 period, primarily the result
of a $5.0 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, and a $3.5
million charge related to an emergency national security tax, equal to 1.2% of
liquid assets, instituted by the Colombian government during the third
quarter.
The consolidated effective income tax rate increased to 111.5% during the
third quarter of 2002 from 39.4% in the 2001 period, resulting from losses
generated in jurisdictions, primarily Venezuela, where existing net operating
loss carryforwards preclude recognition of additional tax benefits.
22
As a result of the foregoing, Panamco recorded a net loss of $2.0 million
during the third quarter of 2002, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, and
including facilities reorganization and other charges, a net loss of $84.7
million, or ($0.71) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of
$30.1 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share during the 2001 period.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased 6.8% to
$1,811.4 million from $1,944.3 million in the first nine months of 2001. Net
sales was negatively impacted by consolidated volume decline of 1.3%, which
was offset by strong volume growth of 5.9% in NOLAD. However, currency
weakness in Brazil and, particularly, Venezuela, as well as declining industry
volumes in Venezuela and Colombia negatively impacted net sales.
The following comparison of Panamco's first nine months of 2002 and 2001
consolidated results of operations excludes the effect of facilities
reorganization and other charges during the first nine months of 2002
amounting to $45.4 million, net of the related tax benefit of $18.3 million.
See Note 4 of "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for
further discussion on Panamco's facilities reorganization and other charges.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 50.2% during the
first nine months of 2002 from 48.6% in the 2001 period. This increase was
mainly the result of an increase in the cost of raw materials and packaging
throughout most operations, especially in Venezuela where the devaluation of
the Venezuelan bolivar resulted in more costly U.S. dollar-denominated raw
materials purchases, as well as a continuous change in product mix towards
more one-way presentations for Panamco as a whole, which yield lower profit
margins on a percentage basis, compared to returnables.
Cost of goods sold was also affected during the first nine months of 2002
by the introduction, in the beginning of the year, of an excise tax in Mexico
of 20% on fructose-based soft drinks and on carbonated water, which resulted
in Panamco incurring additional costs resulting from the price differential
between sugar and high fructose syrup, as we stopped using fructose, and the
tax on sales of carbonated water. In March 2002, this tax was suspended until
September 30, 2002, but reinstated by a decision of the Mexican Supreme Court
in July 2002. Panamco has initiated legal proceedings to seek a refund of the
amounts already paid during the first and fourth quarters of 2002.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 49.8% during the
first nine months of 2002 from 51.4% in the 2001 period, mainly the result of
a higher cost of raw materials and packaging and the change in product mix.
During the first nine months of 2002, Venezuela's macroeconomic,
political and social environments continued to deteriorate, with the currency
devaluing approximately 94% for the nine months and consumers continuing to
lose purchasing power. This, together with non-competitive pricing, resulted
in an operating loss for Panamco Venezuela totalling $18.4 million. Moreover,
both packaging materials and sugar are dollar denominated costs, which
increased significantly against a base of local currency denominated revenues.
Panamco Venezuela continues to strengthen its partnership with The Coca-Cola
Company, jointly focusing on renewed advertising, retail execution, and
channel marketplace investments. Continued macroeconomic weakness and further
devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar (in excess of the rate of inflation) are
expected to continue for the remainder of 2002 into 2003.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 39.8% during
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 40.1% in the 2001 period, mainly
due to the impact of the decrease in net sales offset by decreases in
operating expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, operating
expenses totalled $720.3 million compared to $779.6 million for the comparable
2001 period. The decrease in operating expenses is due in part to lower
goodwill amortization, totalling $19.9 million, as a result of adopting SFAS
No. 142,
23
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" as well as a 13.2% reduction in
depreciation expense, primarily the result of lower property, plant and
equipment balances.
Operating income decreased 17.8% to $181.3 million during the first nine
months of 2002 from $220.5 million in the 2001 period. Operating income during
the first nine months of 2002 was negatively impacted by higher raw material
costs, mainly as a result of currency devaluation, particularly in Mexico and
Venezuela, and a change in product mix towards more one-way presentations for
Panamco as a whole, which yield lower profit margins on a percentage basis,
compared to returnables. Cash operating profit decreased 20.0% to $321.2
million in 2002 from $401.6 million in the 2001 period.
Net interest expense decreased 10.9% to $60.1 million during the first
nine months of 2002 from $67.5 million in the 2001 period, mainly resulting
from the combination of a 23.6% reduction in gross interest expense to $65.2
million from $85.3 million a year ago, which was partially offset by a 71.7%
reduction in interest income. The reduction in gross interest expense is the
result of a $76.8 million reduction in gross debt on a year over year basis as
well as a reduction of the interest rate applicable to certain of the
Company's variable rate debt.
Other expense decreased to $5.8 million during the first nine months of
2002 from an expense of $7.5 million in the 2001 period, primarily the result
of a $16.7 million increase in foreign exchange gains mainly in Brazil, and a
decrease in contingency provisions of $2.0 million, offset by a $8.0 million
unrealized loss related to derivative instruments, a $5.3 million decline in
gains from property, plant and equipment sales primarily related to sales of
land in Venezuela during 2001, and $3.5 million related to an emergency
national security tax, equal to 1.2% of liquid assets, instituted by the
Colombian government during the third quarter.
The consolidated effective income tax rate increased to 44.4% during the
first nine months of 2002 from 33.8% in the 2001 period, primarily the result
of a higher proportion of earnings being generated in countries where net
operating losses carried forward are not available.
As a result of the foregoing, Panamco recorded net income of $61.1
million during the first nine months of 2002, or $0.51 per basic and $0.50 per
diluted share, and including facilities reorganization and other charges, net
income of $15.7 million or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, compared to net
income of $91.7 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share during the 2001
period.
FACILITIES REORGANIZATION AND OTHER CHARGES
During 2000, we implemented company-wide reorganization programs designed
to improve productivity and strengthen our competitive position in the
beverage industry. As of June 30, 2002, approximately 7,700 employees were
terminated by Panamco relating to the reorganization programs implemented
during 2000. As of June 30, 2002, the reorganization programs have been
completed and all remaining balances related to accrued facilities
reorganization costs totalling $4.2 million, which includes $1.1 million in
cash items and $3.1 million in noncash items were reversed into operating
income and reflected as Facilities reorganization and other charges in
Panamco's condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the first quarter of 2002, we recorded a gain on the sale of our
12.1% equity stake in Cervejarias Kaiser, S.A. ("Kaiser") as part of a larger
transaction in which Molson, Inc. acquired Kaiser and entered into a
partnership with Heineken. The sale generated proceeds which includes an
interest of $18.2 million in Molson stock recorded as an investment (the
Molson stock received by Kaiser cannot be sold for a period of two years).
This sale resulted in a gain of $48.6 million, which is included as part of
Other income (expense), net, in Panamco's condensed consolidated statements of
operations. Panamco will continue to distribute Kaiser products in its
franchise areas in Brazil and the acquisition of Kaiser will not impact this
distribution agreement.
During the third quarter of 2002, we recorded $98.4 million of facilities
reorganization and other charges ($82.7 million, net of tax benefits)
resulting primarily from the deterioration of macroeconomic
24
conditions in some of the countries, primarily in Venezuela, in which Panamco
operates. These charges consist of $14.4 million of severance charges
throughout our operations, $69.1 million of asset write-offs and impairment
charges primarily in our Venezuelan operations and $14.9 million related to
obsolete machinery and discontinued product components. As of September 30,
2002, approximately 1,200 of the 2,100 employees have been terminated by
Panamco resulting in severance payments totalling $16.9 million.
The following table shows a summary of facilities reorganization and
other charges recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements for
the following periods:

a) Cost of sales charges relate to the write-off of raw materials
inventory totalling $0.6 million and obsolete spare parts for
production machinery totalling $2.6 million.
b) Selling, general and administrative charges relate to the
write-off of obsolete promotional materials totalling $0.3
million, obsolete spare parts totalling $1.0 million and
miscellaneous administrative expenses totalling $1.2 million.
c) The cash facilities reorganization and other charges relate to
severance charges for the termination of approximately 2,100
employees in Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia totalling $25.0
million, offset by excise tax benefits obtained in Brazil
totalling $3.4 million, and the reversal into income of accrued
facilities reorganization costs related to cash items totalling
$1.1 million.
d) The noncash facilities reorganization and other charges
(benefits) relate to plant closings and related disposal of
property, plant and equipment in Venezuela and Mexico totalling
$7.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, the loss on sale
of unproductive assets in Venezuela totalling $8.0 million,
offset by the reversal into income of accrued facilities
reorganization costs related to noncash items totalling $3.1
million.
e) Depreciation and amortization charges relate to the write-off
of obsolete property, plant and equipment in Mexico, Venezuela
and Colombia totalling $43.8 million, of which approximately
83% occurred in Venezuela, 11% in Mexico and 6% in Colombia and
the write-off of bottles and cases in Mexico, Venezuela and
Colombia totalling $7.3 million, of which approximately 76%
occurred in Venezuela, 18% in Mexico and 6% in Colombia.
f) The nonoperating charges (benefits) relate to the gain
totalling $48.6 million on the sale of Kaiser, offset by the
loss on disposal of nonoperating property, plant and equipment,
mostly in Venezuela, totalling $4.4 million, the sale, at a
loss totalling $3.0 million, of the corporate airplane to a
related party, the loss on disposal of investments, mostly in
Colombia, totalling $1.4 million, a provision for
25
labor contingencies totalling $0.9 million, and the payment of
excise taxes totalling $5.8 million on soft drink inventories
containing high fructose corn syrup in Mexico during the first
quarter and the accrual of $2.5 million in the third quarter.
The payment of the excise taxes resulted from a law that was
suspended shortly after it was initiated, but subsequently
reinstated effective July 15, 2002. Panamco has initiated legal
proceedings to seek a refund of the amounts already paid during
the first and fourth quarters of 2002.
As a result of the above, Panamco's income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 was impacted by the facilities reorganization and other
charges totalling $45.4 million, net of the related tax benefit of $18.3
million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $78.3 million during the first nine
months of 2002 from net cash transactions. Our primary sources of cash for the
first nine months of 2002 were proceeds from sale of investments (sale of
Kaiser) totalling $49.1 million, proceeds from bank loans totalling $70.5
million and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment totalling
$13.1 million. Our primary uses of cash for the first nine months of 2002 were
the payment of bank loans and other long-term obligations totalling $96.1
million, capital expenditures totalling $82.3 million, which includes the
termination of operating leases throughout the Company's operations totalling
$22.0 million, share repurchases totalling $34.7 million, net of issuance of
shares related to employee options exercised totalling $2.0 million, purchase
of bottles and cases totalling $27.9 million and payment of shareholder
dividends totalling $22.0 million. Cash flow provided by operating activities
was $71.6 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $240.9 million
in the same period a year ago, mainly due to a negative working capital of
$375.0 million as of September 30, 2002, a 122.1% increase compared to a
negative working capital of $168.9 million as of December 31, 2001. This
increase is primarily the result of a $223.6 increase in current portion of
long-term obligations due to a reclassification from long-term obligations to
current portion, offset by a decrease in bank loans totalling $10.1 million. A
working capital deficiency is not unusual for us and does not indicate a lack
of liquidity. We continue to maintain adequate current assets to satisfy
current liabilities when they are due and have sufficient liquidity and
financial resources to manage our day-to-day cash needs.
Total consolidated indebtedness decreased to $912.9 million at September
30, 2002, from $970.2 million at the end of 2001, consisting of $590.8 million
at the holding company level and $322.1 million of subsidiary indebtedness. Of
the total debt, 64.5% is long-term. Our U.S. dollar-denominated debt increased
to 74.3% at September 30, 2002 from 67.5% at the end of 2001.
There has been no significant change in our contractual obligations
during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, other than the termination of
operating leases throughout Panamco's operations totalling $22.0 million and
the debt incurred in relation to the Panama acquisition totalling $60.0 million
(see Note 11 of "Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements"). For a
discussion of our contractual obligations, refer to Item 7, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", contained in our Form 10-K for

We have authorized a total of $40.0 million for repurchases under Panamco's
2002 Share Repurchase Program. During the third quarter of 2002, we
repurchased 1,111,300 shares for a total amount of $13.8 million (including
commissions) under Panamco's 2002 Share Repurchase Program with the total
amount of shares repurchased under the 2002 Share Repurchase Program totalling
2,468,600 for a total amount of $36.8 million (including commissions).
During the first nine months of 2002, Panamco recorded a gain on the sale
of its 12.1% equity stake in Kaiser as part of a larger transaction in which
Molson, Inc. acquired Kaiser and entered into a partnership with Heineken. The
sale generated proceeds, which include an interest of $18.2 million in Molson
stock recorded as
26
an investment. We will continue to distribute Kaiser products in our franchise
areas in Brazil and the acquisition of Kaiser will not impact this
distribution agreement.
Loans totalling $1.2 million to our former Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer became due upon his termination in September 2002. Such loans were
repaid in full in September 2002.
