NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(STATED IN THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS)
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by Panamerican Beverages, Inc. (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 March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the consolidated
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to 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
2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2001. The
Company has made no significant changes in accounting policies from those
reflected in the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
The financial statements of the Colombian and Venezuelan subsidiaries 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 Mexican, Brazilian, Costa Rican, Nicaraguan and Guatemalan
subsidiaries are the Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Costa Rican colon,
Nicaraguan cordova and Guatemalan quetzal, respectively. The financial
statements of the Mexican, Brazilian, Costa Rican, Nicaraguan and Guatemalan
subsidiaries 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.
Foreign currency translation gains (losses) on monetary assets and liabilities
for the Colombian and Venezuelan subsidiaries have been included in the
consolidated statements of operations captions to which such items relate as
shown below:

(2) New Accounting Standards and Pronouncements
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities - a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 140
provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing
of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Those standards
are based on consistent application of a financial-components approach
that focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of
financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets
it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, de-recognizes financial
assets when control has been surrendered, and de-recognizes liabilities
when extinguished. SFAS No. 140 provides consistent standards for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 140
on March 31, 2000. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires the
recognition of all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair
value. Derivatives that are not designated as part of a hedging
relationship must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, the
effective portion of the hedge's change in fair value is either (1)
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability or
firm commitment through income or (2) held in equity until the hedged
item is recognized in income immediately. The ineffective portion of a
hedge's change in fair value is recognized in income. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 133, as amended, on January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No.
133 and subsequent recording of the change in value related to its cash
flow hedge resulted in a total reduction in accumulated other
comprehensive income of approximately $7.4 million in the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending March
31, 2001.

(3) Reorganization Programs
Throughout the year 2000, the Company continued its reorganization
programs, which were implemented originally during the first quarter of
2000. As a result of these reorganization programs, during the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Company recorded the following items in its
statements of operations:
Facilities Reorganization Charges - During the year ended December 31,
2000, the Company recorded $503,659 of facilities reorganization charges,
of which $79,878 was recorded during the first quarter and $423,781 was

result of the $350,000 write-down of goodwill, attributable to Panamco
Venezuela; the write-off of noncash items of property, plant and
equipment, obsolete bottles and cases and nonrecurring charges (related
to legal contingencies) amounting to $65,088; and cash items relating
primarily to severance payments, job terminations and reorganization of
the distribution system of the Venezuelan and Brazilian subsidiaries
amounting to $88,571.
Severance payments recorded during 2000 relate to the termination of
approximately 10,000 employees across all levels and operating units of
the Company. Approximately 6,500 employees had been terminated by the
Company as of March 31, 2001.
Nonoperating Charges - During the year ended December 31, 2000, the
Company recorded $5,977 of charges, of which $5,387 were recorded in the
first quarter and $590 were recorded in the fourth quarter, related to
the disposal of nonoperating assets, including land of some of the
operating plants, which are presented as part of other expense, net.
As a result of the facilities reorganization charges and nonoperating
charges, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $46,516, of which $23,405
was recorded in the first quarter and $23,111 was recorded in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000.

(8) Share Repurchase Program
On December 9, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase
program of the Company's Class A Common Stock in an amount not to exceed
$100 million in the aggregate. The shares may be purchased in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market
conditions and other factors. The Company repurchased 765,597 shares
amounting to $13.4 million at an average price per share of $17.51 during
the three months ended March 31, 2001. Since the beginning of the program
in December 1999, the Company has repurchased 1,916,476 shares for a
total amount of $34.6 million at an average price per share of $18.05.
(9) 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.
Following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares
outstanding with the number of shares used in the computation of diluted
earnings (loss) per share:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
General
The following discussion addresses the financial condition and
results of operations of Panamerican Beverages, Inc. ("Panamco") and its
consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2001
and December 31, 2000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
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.
In 1998, we created the "Panamco Central America" group, which
consists of Panamco Costa Rica, Panamco Nicaragua and Panamco Guatemala. The
financial condition and results of operations of these three companies have
been reported together in the financial statements of Panamco Central America.
In February 1999, we formed the North Latin American Division, which
consists of Panamco Mexico and Panamco Central America. We will continue to
report these results of operations separately.
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 means operating income plus
depreciation, amortization of goodwill and noncash facilities reorganization
charges.
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
20
such statements, estimates or projections contained in this
document or that any forecast contained herein will be achieved.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2000
Consolidated Results of Operations
Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased 6.6%
to $648.0 million from $608.2 million in the 2000 first quarter, mainly due to
an increase of 4.7% in consolidated unit case sales volume. Total unit case
sales increased to 307.0 million cases from 293.1 million unit cases in the
2000 period. Total volume growth of 4.7% was led by Brazil, where total volume
increased by 11.2% and soft drink volume increased by 11.4%. Venezuela
reported total volume growth of 8.6% and soft drink volume growth of 5.4%.
Colombia's total volume increased by 1.9%, followed by Mexico where total
volume increased by 0.2% and Central America decreased by 0.3%. Consolidated
water and beer volumes grew by 12.4% and 9.4%, respectively.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 48.8% during
the first quarter of 2001 from 49.1% in the 2000 period. This decrease
resulted from the Company's cost restructuring programs, primarily from cost
savings in raw materials and packaging in several countries due to improved
procurement contracts.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 51.2% during
the first quarter of 2001 from 50.9% in the first quarter of 2000.
The following comments reflect the consolidated results of
operations excluding the recording of facilities reorganization charges, asset
write-offs, and nonoperating charges totaling $85.3 million, net of the
related tax benefit of $23.4 million, during the first quarter of 2000:
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 41.5%
during the first quarter of 2001 from 44.9% in the 2000 period, mainly as a
result of the initial benefits of the reorganization program.
Operating income increased 71.7% to $62.7 million during the first
quarter of 2001 from $36.5 million in the 2000 period, primarily as a result
of increased sales and volume as well as the initial benefits of the
reorganization program. Cash operating profit increased 20.1% to $122.9
million in 2001 from $102.3 million in the first quarter of 2000.
Net interest expense decreased to $23.6 million during the first
quarter of 2001 from $29.4 million in the 2000 period, primarily as a result
of net debt (total indebtedness less cash and equivalents) reduction of $96.2
million for the quarter and $223.7 million from the 2000 first quarter.
Other expense, net decreased to $2.2 million during the first
quarter of 2001 from $2.9 million in the 2000 period, primarily caused by a
$5.1 million gain in sale of investments and a $2.6 million decrease in
provision for contingencies, partially offset by a $7.8 increase in foreign
exchange losses mainly in Brazil.
21
The consolidated effective income tax rate decreased to 38.1% during
the first quarter of 2001 from 332.4% in the 2000 period. The Company has
certain expenses, such as amortization of goodwill, which are non-deductible
for tax purposes that, depending on income from operations, may cause
significant variations in the effective income tax rate.
As a result of the foregoing, Panamco recorded net income of $21.3
million during the first quarter of 2001, or $0.17 per basic share ($0.16 on a
diluted basis), compared to a net loss of $9.6 million, or $0.07 per share
(basic and diluted), during the 2000 period.
Facilities Reorganization Charges
During the first quarter of 2000, Panamco began a company-wide
reorganization program designed to improve productivity and strengthen the
Company's competitive position in the beverage industry. The program includes
productivity initiatives to streamline Panamco's manufacturing infrastructure,
consolidation of distribution centers and warehouses, and the termination of
approximately 10,000 jobs across all levels of the Company.
During the fourth quarter of 2000, Panamco performed an analysis of
the Company's growth opportunities, cost structure and asset valuation. This
resulted in several new steps to further position the Company for improved
financial performance and future growth. These steps include additional
restructuring of the distribution system in Brazil and Venezuela, plant
closings and related disposal of property, plant and equipment, write-down of
goodwill in the Venezuelan operating unit, write-off of obsolete fixed assets,
bottles and cases, and asset write-downs related to coolers.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, Panamco recorded charges of
$540.7 million, which was comprised of $503.6 million of facilities
reorganization charges, $31.1 million of asset write-downs presented as part
of depreciation and amortization expenses, and $6.0 million of charges related
to the disposal of nonoperating assets presented in other income (expense).
The following is a detail of the aforementioned items:
I. Facilities reorganization charges of $503.6 million consist of:
(1) Restructuring charges totaling $111.5 million consist of:
o Cash restructuring charges totaling approximately $86.7
million, which include $77.3 million related to job
terminations and $9.4 million related to the restructuring
of our distribution system in Brazil and Venezuela; and
o Noncash restructuring charges totaling approximately $24.8
million, which result from plant closings and the related
disposal of property, plant and equipment.
22
(2) Asset write-offs totaling $383.5 million consist of:
o $350 million write-down of goodwill reflecting the
recognition of impairment of the cost in excess of net
assets acquired in the Venezuelan operating unit;
o $23.8 million of obsolete property, plant and equipment in
all operating units;
o $7.8 million of obsolete bottles and cases, mainly in the
Venezuelan unit's water jug business; and
o $1.9 million of cash charges related to the disposal of
property, plant and equipment.
(3) Nonrecurring charges totaling $8.6 million related to legal
contingencies mostly pertaining to tax matters.
II. Asset write-downs totaling $31.1 million presented as part of
depreciation and amortization expenses consist of:
o $11.0 million from an increase in provision related to changing
the useful lives of coolers; and
o $20.1 million resulting from the write-down of bottles and cases
due to loss in market value.
III. Nonoperating asset charges totaling $6.0 million related to the
disposal of nonoperating assets, including the sale of affiliated
companies and land in some of the operating units.
As a result of the above, Panamco's income for the year 2000 was
impacted by facilities reorganization charges, asset write-downs and
nonoperating charges totaling $494.2 million, net of the related tax benefit
of approximately $46.5 million.
The following table shows a summary of the net charges and benefits
recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2000:

As of March 31, 2001, the Company completed approximately 65% of its
total planned workforce reduction. There has been no material change to the
expected effects on future earnings and cash flows resulting from the
facilities reorganization program, which were previously disclosed in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2001, we had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of
$199.9 million, an increase of 4.2% compared to $191.8 million as of December
31, 2000. We have investments in bank deposits for $75.0 million, which
guarantee bank loans obtained by subsidiaries and are therefore classified as
noncurrent investments.
Consolidated cash flow provided by operations was $81.0 million and
$75.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Cash generated by the operations and available is sufficient to
meet the current obligations of the Company.
Total consolidated indebtedness was $1,165.6 million as of March 31,
2001, consisting of $725.0 million at the holding company level and $440.6
million of subsidiary indebtedness. Of the total debt, 82.8% is dollar
denominated and 90.5% is long-term.
The Company had an obligation to Coca-Cola Financial Corporation
(U.S.), amounting to $100.0 million with an average annual interest rate of
three-month LIBOR plus 3.25%. On February 28, 2001, the Company prepaid the
remaining outstanding debt with Coca-Cola Financial Corporation (U.S.) in the
amount of $100.0 million. There was no prepayment penalty.
On December 9, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a share
repurchase program for up to $100 million of our Class A common stock. We may
repurchase shares in the open market as well as in privately negotiated
transactions based on prevailing market conditions and other factors. We have
repurchased 1,919,476 shares for $34.6 million at an average price per share
of $18.05 since the beginning of the program in December 1999. During the
three months ended March 31, 2001, we repurchased 765,597 shares for an
aggregate of $13.4 million at an average price per share of $17.51.
Total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2001
were $16.1 million compared to $39.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000. This decrease resulted primarily from reduced capital spending.
In July 2000, Panamco Colombia issued unsecured promissory notes in
local currency equivalent to $32.0 million. These notes include a $15.0
million issuance with a five year maturity and bearing interest at DTF
(Colombian borrowing rate) plus 2.75% and a $17.0 million issuance with a
seven year maturity and bearing interest at DTF plus 2.90%, of which both
issuances pay interest quarterly. The proceeds from the debt issue were used
to pay U.S. dollar denominated debt.
24
On February 21, 2001, Panamco Colombia issued unsecured, publicly
traded bonds valued at Col$35,000,000,000 Colombian pesos (approximately $15.5
million in U.S. dollars) with a coupon rate of DTF plus 2.75% (15.5% at
February 21, 2000) and a maturity date of August 9, 2005. The proceeds from
the debt issue were used to pay U.S. dollar denominated debt.
On November 22, 2000, the Company entered into a swap agreement
where it receives LIBOR at specified measurement dates and pays interest at a
fixed rate of 6.44% on a notional amount of $250.0 million. The swap
