PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP) today reported organic revenue growth of 4.4 percent and core earnings per share of $0.83 for the first quarter.

"We are pleased with our performance for the first quarter of 2015. Our focus on innovation, brand-building, and marketplace execution, funded in part by our productivity initiatives, continues to drive strong, fundamental business performance," said PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi. "In the quarter, we generated 4.4 percent organic revenue growth and we once again expanded both gross and operating margins.

"However, foreign exchange translation and transaction headwinds persist. We have and will continue to take actions to manage through the current volatile macroeconomic environment by taking responsible pricing actions, tightly controlling costs, and optimizing our global sourcing to minimize and mitigate the impacts of the current foreign exchange challenges.

"At the same time, we will not let cyclical macroeconomic issues divert us from our focus to drive sustainable shareholder value creation. We intend to continue to invest across our markets and brands to generate organic revenue growth, drive greater efficiency and productivity, deliver attractive free cash flow growth and cash return to shareholders, and enhance our returns on invested capital."

Summary of First Quarter Financial Performance:

Organic revenue grew 4.4 percent and reported net revenue declined 3 percent. Foreign exchange translation had an 8-percentage-point unfavorable impact on reported net revenue.

Developing and emerging market organic revenue grew 10 percent. On a reported basis, developing and emerging market net revenue declined 12 percent, reflecting unfavorable foreign exchange translation, in particular, related to the Russian ruble, Venezuelan bolivar, euro, and Mexican peso.

Core gross margin and core operating margin expanded 150 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively. Operating margin improvement reflects the implementation of effective revenue management strategies and productivity initiatives, partially offset by an impairment charge and increased advertising and marketing expense. Reported gross margin increased 100 basis points while reported operating margin increased 40 basis points.

Core constant currency operating profit increased 8 percent. Core results include the impacts of a $39 million pre-tax gain related to a refranchising and a $65 million pre-tax impairment charge in the current-year quarter, as well as the lapping of a $31 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of agricultural assets in the prior year. Excluding these items, core constant currency operating profit increased 11 percent. Reported operating profit was down 1 percent and also reflects unfavorable foreign exchange translation, restructuring charges, and the mark-to-market net impact on commodity hedges.

The company's core effective tax rate was 23.0 percent, which compares to 23.7 percent in the prior-year quarter. The reported effective tax rate was 23.1 percent, below the prior-year quarter of 24.1 percent.

Core EPS was $0.83 and reported EPS was $0.81. Core EPS excludes a negative net impact of $0.02 per share from restructuring charges.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $270 million, which compares to $181 million in the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow excluding certain items was $57 million, which compares to a $135 million use of cash in the prior-year quarter.

Discussion of Division Core Constant Currency Operating Profit Results:

Core constant currency operating profit results for all divisions were positively impacted by organic revenue increases as presented in the tables on pages 3 and A-6. In addition, results for each division were impacted by the following:

Frito-Lay North America (FLNA)
Positively impacted by productivity gains and lower commodity costs, partially offset by operating cost inflation and a double-digit increase in advertising and marketing expense.

Quaker Foods North America (QFNA)
Negatively impacted by an impairment charge associated with our dairy joint venture, a double-digit increase in advertising and marketing expense and operating cost inflation, partially offset by productivity gains. Core constant currency operating profit increased 2.5 percent excluding the impairment charge.

Latin America Foods (LAF)
Positively impacted by productivity gains, partially offset by operating cost and commodity cost inflation.

PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB)
Positively impacted by productivity gains and lower commodity costs, partially offset by higher operating cost inflation, a high-single-digit increase in advertising and marketing expense, and the lapping of a prior year adjustment recognized through our share of the results of a joint venture.

Europe
Negatively impacted by operating and commodity cost inflation and a gain on the sale of agricultural assets in the prior year, partially offset by productivity gains. Core constant currency operating profit increased 23 percent excluding the gain on the sale of agricultural assets in the prior year.

Asia, Middle East & Africa (AMEA)
Positively impacted by the gain related to the refranchising of a portion of our India bottling operations, productivity gains and lower commodity costs, partially offset by operating cost inflation. Core constant currency operating profit increased 6 percent excluding the gain.

2015 Guidance and Outlook
Consistent with its previous guidance for 2015, the company expects mid-single-digit organic revenue growth and 7 percent core constant currency EPS growth versus its fiscal 2014 core EPS of $4.63, in each case in-line with its long-term targets.

Based on the current foreign exchange market consensus, the company now expects foreign exchange translation to have an unfavorable impact of approximately 10 percentage points on full year net revenue growth and approximately 11 percentage points on full year core EPS performance in 2015, reflecting current expectations for continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

In addition, the company expects:

Low- to mid-single-digit commodity inflation, which includes the estimated impact of transaction-related foreign exchange;
Productivity savings of approximately $1 billion;
Higher interest expense driven by increased debt balances;
A core effective tax rate of approximately 25 percent;
Over $10 billion in cash flow from operating activities and more than $7 billion in free cash flow (excluding certain items);
Net capital spending to be approximately $3 billion, within the company's long-term capital spending target of less than or equal to 5 percent of net revenue; and
To return a total of $8.5 to $9 billion to shareholders through dividends of approximately $4 billion and share repurchases of $4.5 to $5 billion.

Conference Call:
At 8 a.m. (Eastern Time) today, the company will host a conference call with investors and financial analysts to discuss first quarter 2015 results and the outlook for 2015. Further details will be accessible on the company's website at www.pepsico.com/investors.

Miscellaneous Disclosures
In discussing financial results and guidance, the company may refer to certain measures not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). 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 2015, core results exclude the commodity mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses and restructuring and impairment charges. In 2014, core results exclude the commodity mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses, restructuring and impairment charges, a pension lump sum settlement charge and a charge related to the 2014 Venezuela remeasurement. See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information" for additional information.

A - 13

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) payments related to restructuring charges, (2) capital investments related to restructuring plan and (3) 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. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP. 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. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP reporting measures.

Commodity mark-to-market net impact
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2015, we recognized $1 million of mark-to-market net losses on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses. 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 year ended December 27, 2014, we recognized mark-to-market net losses of $68 million 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. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded 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.

Restructuring and impairment charges

2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2015, we incurred restructuring charges of $30 million in conjunction with the multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 13, 2014 (2014 Productivity Plan). In the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2014, we recognized $96 million in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. In the year ended December 27, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $357 million in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. 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.

2012 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2015, we incurred restructuring charges of $6 million in conjunction with the multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 9, 2012 (2012 Productivity Plan). In the 12 weeks ended March 22,

A - 14

2014, we recognized $2 million in conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan. In the year ended December 27, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $61 million in conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan. 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.

Pension lump sum settlement charge
In the year ended December 27, 2014, we recorded a pension lump sum settlement charge of $141 million related to payments for pension liabilities to certain former employees who had vested benefits.

Venezuela remeasurement charge
In the year ended December 27, 2014, we recorded a $105 million net charge related to our remeasurement of the bolivar for certain net monetary assets of our Venezuela businesses. $126 million of this charge was recorded in corporate unallocated expenses, with the balance (equity income of $21 million) recorded in our PAB segment.

At the end of each period, we remeasure the net monetary assets of our Venezuela entities from the bolivar to the U.S. dollar at the rate we believe is legally available to us. Significant uncertainty exists regarding the exchange mechanisms in Venezuela. As of March 21, 2015, there was a three-tiered exchange rate mechanism in Venezuela for exchanging bolivars into U.S. dollars: (1) the fixed exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar; (2) the auction-based SICAD exchange rate, resulting from the unification of SICAD I and II in February 2015; and (3) a new open market foreign exchange system (SIMADI) that was established in February 2015.

We continue to monitor developments closely and may determine in the future that rates other than the SICAD exchange rate or the fixed exchange rate, as applicable, are appropriate for remeasurement of the net monetary assets of our Venezuelan entities, which approximated $505 million at March 21, 2015. If, at the end of the first quarter of 2015, we had used the SICAD exchange rate, which was 12 bolivars per U.S. dollar as of that date, to remeasure the net monetary assets that are currently recorded at the fixed exchange rate, we would have incurred a net charge of approximately $160 million. If, at the end of the first quarter of 2015, we had remeasured all net monetary assets of our Venezuela businesses at the SIMADI exchange rate, which was approximately 177 bolivars per U.S. dollar as of that date, we would have incurred a net charge of approximately $480 million. In addition, if we were to conclude that the SIMADI exchange rate is the appropriate rate for remeasurement of our Venezuelan entities, our results of operations in Venezuela for the remainder of 2015 would expect to generate 0% of our net revenue and 0% of our operating profit and it would also lead to an impairment of our non-monetary assets, which were approximately $635 million at March 21, 2015. Any further devaluation of the bolivar, change in the currency exchange mechanisms, additional governmental actions or fluctuation of the auction-based SICAD exchange rate could adversely affect our financial position, including a potential impairment of non-monetary assets, results of operations, both for any period in which we determine to remeasure using another rate and on a going forward basis following any such remeasurement, and our ability to make effective business decisions with respect to our Venezuela operations.

Free cash flow, excluding certain items
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 that we believe investors should consider in evaluating our free cash flow results.

2015 guidance and long-term targets
Our 2015 core tax rate guidance, our 2015 core constant currency EPS growth guidance and our long-term core constant currency EPS growth target exclude the commodity mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses and restructuring and impairment charges. Our 2015 organic revenue growth guidance and our long-term organic revenue growth target exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes. In addition, our 2015 organic revenue growth guidance, our 2015 core constant currency EPS growth guidance, our long-term organic revenue growth target and our long-term core constant currency EPS growth target exclude the impact of foreign exchange. We are not able to reconcile our full year projected 2015 core tax rate to our full year projected 2015 reported tax rate, our full year projected 2015 core constant currency EPS growth to our full year projected 2015 reported EPS growth or our long-term projected core constant currency EPS growth to our long-term projected reported EPS growth because we are unable to predict the 2015 and long-term impacts 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 2015 organic revenue growth to our full year projected 2015 reported net revenue growth or our long-term projected organic revenue growth to our long-term projected reported net revenue growth because we are unable to predict the 2015 and long-term impacts 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.
