To find out what these amounts represent a financial comparison of both companies is required. Using financial analysis tools such as vertical analysis, horizontal analysis, and ratio analysis, one can get a clearer picture of the financial status of each company. Horizontal Analysis When evaluating financial statement data for a specific period of time we use a technique call horizontal analysis.

In comparing both of these companies I have evaluated the net revenue and net income for the period of 2003 to 2005, with 2003 being the base year and 2005 being the current year. The formula I have used will show the change in the net revenue and net income for this span of time. The formula to calculate the change since the base period is the current year amount minus the base year amount divided by the base year amount. COCA-COLA (dollar amounts in millions) Net Revenue 23,104(2005) – 20,857(2003) divided by 20,857(2003) = 2247 divided by 20,857= 10.77% Net Income 4872(2005) – 4387(2003) divided by 4387(2003) = 485 divided by 4387 = 11.0% PEPSICO, INC. Net Revenue 32,562(2005) – 26,971(2003) divided by 26971(2003) = 5591 divided by 26,971 = 20.73% Net Income 4078(2005) – 3568(2003) divided by 3568(2003) = 14.29% The balance sheet for PepsiCo, Inc. showed an increase in assets, liabilities, and stockholders equity for the period of 2003 to 2005.

At the end of 1991, PepsiCo had EBITDA of $2.1 billion or operating profit margin of 10.8% - down from profit margins of 12.2% and 11.7% in 1990 and 1989, respectively. In addition, net sales only grew by 10.1% in 1991 – considerably low versus growth of 16.8% and 21.6% in 1990 and 1989, respectively. Recent acquisitions of Taco Bell franchises in 1988, bottling operations in 1989, Smiths Crisps Ltd. and Walkers Crisps Holding Ltd. in 1989, and Sabritas S.A. de C.V. in 1990 aided sales in growth in 1989 and 1990. Additionally, a joint venture with the Thomas J. Lipton Co. in 1991 to develop and market new tea-based beverages may lead to greater sales in the future. However, there is some need for an immediate return on its investments in order to sustain historical revenue growth and increase the current profit margins.

...istent increase of up to 19% while Coca Cola's dividend growth rate has increased, but only at an average of about 11%. Another factor in which I, as an investor, would consider would be the ROE or return on equity. This is determined by net income dividend by the average common stock holders equity. In 2005, Coca Colas ROE was at 28%, while Pepsi Co's was also at 28%. But a review of a 10 year period(dividendgrowthinvestors.com) reveals that Pepsi Co. has been strong between 28 to 34%, while Coca Cola has been around 25 to 33%. That fact that Pepsi Co. has steadily outperformed Coca Cola on the rate of returns to its investors confirms my decision to lean towards Pepsi Co. Don't be misinformed, both companies are strong performers and lead their industry in most every category. I recommend any potential investor to do the math and research for themselves.

The new business will be called the Dr Pepper Company, which will focus on the Dr Pepper brand by handling all beverage system sales, which account for 75 percent of its business, in addition to related independent bottlers. The second operating group will be Cadbury Beverages/Seven Up Co., which will service independent bottlers not carrying Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper/Seven Up soft drink brands now hold about 16 percent of the U.S. market. Dr Pepper and Seven-Up are among the top 10 carbonated soft drinks, with Dr Pepper being the top non-cola soft drink. Other soft drink include: A&W Root Beer, Canada Dry, Schweppes, Welch's, Sunkist, Squirt, Crush and Hires (Levy 1999). According to the soft drink industry report, there is large sales growth recently in non-colas. Dr Pepper was number three in the industry. The reason is because non-colas have above-average caffeine level, and will be aimed at the 12-to 21-year-old market. Obviously, management sees this product as an opportunity to more fully participate in the growing popularity of non-colas.
