Henry W. Flint, President and COO, added, “Importantly, our results include revenue growth of almost two percent and earnings per share on a comparable basis increasing 7.2% over the prior year. These results include the additional costs we incurred as part of our franchise territory expansion work with The Coca-Cola Company, as well as a number of investments in operational capabilities for driving long-term growth in revenue, operating profit, cash flow, and continued debt reduction. We are pleased with our 2013 results and excited about the opportunities in 2014. We are also thankful for our more than 6,000 employees and the outstanding work they continue to do.”
