Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

    

1.  Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” and “we”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis.  These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form   10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2016 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 

2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures

Since April 2013, as a part of The Coca-Cola Company’s plans to refranchise its North American bottling territories, the Company has engaged in a series of transactions with The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company, to expand the Company’s distribution operations significantly through the acquisition of rights to serve additional distribution territories previously served by CCR (the “Expansion Territories”) and of related distribution assets (the “Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions”).  During 2015, the Company completed Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions announced as part of the April 2013 letter of intent signed with The Coca-Cola Company.  These completed acquisitions include Expansion Territories in parts of Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana previously served by CCR.

 

On May 12, 2015, the Company and The Coca-Cola Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “May 2015 LOI”) pursuant to which CCR would grant the Company in two phases certain exclusive rights for the distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of The Coca-Cola Company-owned and -licensed products in additional territories then served by CCR.  The major markets that would be served as part of the expansion contemplated by the May 2015 LOI include: Baltimore, Alexandria, Norfolk, Richmond, the District of Columbia, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and Indianapolis.  

On September 23, 2015, the Company and CCR entered into an asset purchase agreement for the first phase of this additional distribution territory contemplated by the May 2015 LOI including: (i) eastern and northern Virginia, (ii) the entire state of Maryland, (iii) the District of Columbia, and (iv) parts of Delaware, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and West Virginia (the “Next Phase Territories”).  The first closing for the series of Next Phase Territories transactions (the “Next Phase Territories Transactions”) occurred on October 30, 2015 for territories served by distribution facilities in Norfolk, Fredericksburg and Staunton, Virginia and Elizabeth City, North Carolina.  The second closing for the series of Next Phase Territories Transactions occurred on January 29, 2016 for territories served by distribution facilities in Easton and Salisbury, Maryland and Richmond and Yorktown, Virginia. The third closing for the series of Next Phase Territories Transactions occurred on April 1, 2016 for territories served by distribution facilities in Alexandria, Virginia and Capitol Heights and La Plata, Maryland. The final closing for the series of Next Phase Territories Transactions occurred on April 29, 2016 for territories served by distribution facilities in Baltimore, Hagerstown and Cumberland, Maryland.

At the closings of each of the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions (excluding the Lexington-for-Jackson exchange described below), the Company signed a Comprehensive Beverage Agreement (“CBA”) for each of the territories which has a term of ten years and is automatically renewed for successive additional terms of ten years unless we give notice to terminate at least one year prior to the expiration of a ten-year term or unless earlier terminated as provided therein. Under the CBAs, the Company will make a quarterly sub-bottling payment to CCR on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell specified covered beverages and related products, as defined in the agreements. The quarterly sub-bottling payment, which is accounted for as contingent consideration, is based on sales of certain beverages and beverage products that are sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, related product or certain cross-licensed brands (as defined in the CBAs). The CBA imposes certain

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

obligations on the Company with respect to serving the expansion territories that failure to meet could result in termination of a CBA if the Company fails to take corrective measures within a specified time frame.

The May 2015 LOI contemplated that The Coca-Cola Company would work collaboratively with the Company and certain other expanding participating bottlers in the U.S. (“EPBs”) to implement a national product supply system. As a result of subsequent discussions among the EPBs and The Coca-Cola Company, on September 23, 2015, the Company and The Coca-Cola Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Manufacturing LOI”) pursuant to which CCR would sell six manufacturing facilities (“Regional Manufacturing Facilities”) and related manufacturing assets (collectively, “Manufacturing Assets”) to the Company as the Company becomes a regional producing bottler (“Regional Producing Bottler”) in the national product supply system (the “Manufacturing Facility Expansion Transactions”).  Similar to, and as an integral part of, the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions described in the May 2015 LOI, the sale of the Manufacturing Assets by CCR to the Company would be accomplished in two phases. The first phase includes three Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Sandston, Virginia; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Baltimore, Maryland that serve the Next Phase Territories. The second phase includes three Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Portland, Indiana; and Cincinnati, Ohio that serve the distribution territories in central and southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and parts of Indiana and Illinois.  On October 30, 2015, the Company and CCR entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement for the Manufacturing Assets that comprise the three Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Sandston, Virginia; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Baltimore, Maryland (the “Next Phase Manufacturing Transactions”). The first closing for the series of Next Phase Manufacturing Transactions occurred on January 29, 2016 for the Sandston, Virginia facility. The final closing for the series of Next Phase Manufacturing Transactions occurred on April 29, 2016 for the Silver Spring, Maryland facility and the Baltimore, Maryland facility.

On February 8, 2016, the Company and The Coca-Cola Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “February 2016 LOI”) pursuant to which CCR would grant the Company exclusive rights for the distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of The Coca-Cola Company-owned and -licensed products in additional territories then served by CCR.  The transactions proposed in the February 2016 LOI would provide exclusive distribution rights for the Company in territories located within northern Ohio and northern West Virginia, including the following major markets: Akron, Elyria, Toledo, Willoughby, and Youngstown County in Ohio. CCR currently serves these territories and owns and operates the Twinsburg manufacturing facility.

2014 Expansion Territories

On May 23, 2014, the Company acquired the Johnson City and Morristown, Tennessee territory, and on October 24, 2014, the Company acquired the Knoxville, Tennessee territory (collectively the “2014 Expansion Territories”) from CCR.

The goodwill of $0.9 million and $4.8 million for the Johnson City/Morristown and Knoxville territories, respectively, is primarily attributed to the workforce. Goodwill of $0.4 million and $4.6 million for the Johnson City/Morristown and Knoxville territories, respectively, is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  During the third quarter of 2015, the Company made certain measurement period adjustments as a result of purchase price changes to reflect the revised opening balance sheets for the Johnson City/Morristown and Knoxville, Tennessee territories. The effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements of these measurement period adjustments was immaterial. These adjustments are included in the opening balance sheets presented above.
