‘There was no foreign sales for the calendar year ended 31 December 2021 and 2020 and it represent
less than 0.05% of total net sales for the calendar years ended 31 December 2019,
Distribution methods of the product
‘The Company's sales volumes depend on the reach of its distribution network. It increases the reach
Of distribution system by adding routes and increasing penetration by adding outlets on existing routes
that currently do not stock its products. It relies on a number of channels to reach retail outlets, including
ditect sales, distributors and wholesalers.
‘The backbone of the distribution system is what is referred to as "Entrepreneurial Distribution System,”
which consists of independent contractors who service one or more sales “routes,” usually by truck,
selling directly to retail outlets and collecting empty returnable glass bottles (‘RGBs’).
‘The Company also employs its own sales force, which principally sells to what is referred to as the
“modern trade’ channel, consisting largely of supermarkets, restaurants and convenience store chains.
Most of these sales are credit sales. In addition, it sells products to third party wholesalers and
distributors, which sell them to retail outlets.
‘An important aspect of the distribution system is the infrastructure-intensive process of selling and
delivering RGB products to thousands of small retailers, including sari-sari stores and carinderias. Theefforts to increase the reach of the Company's distribution network require significant investments in
distribution infrastructure such as additional trucks, refrigeration equipment, warehouse space and a
larger “float’ of glass bottles and plastic shells, as well as higher costs for additional sales and
distribution staff
Publicly-announced new product
‘There is no publicly announced new product in 2021
Competition
‘The Company competes in the ready-to-drink, non-alcoholic beverage market across the Philippines,
‘The market is highly competitive and competition varies by product category. The Company believes,
that the major competitive factors include advertising and marketing programs that create brand
awareness, packiprice promotions, new product development, distribution and availabilty, packaging
land customer goodwill. The Company faces competition generally from both local and multi-national
companies across the Company's nationwide operations.
Major competitors in the CSD market are The Coca-Cola Company and Asiawide Refreshments
Corporation. The substantial investment in mutiple plants, distribution infrastructure and systems and
the float of RGBs and plastic shells required to operate a nationwide beverage business using RGBs
are major factors which influence the level of competition in the CSD market.
‘The market for NCB (including energy drinks) is more fragmented. Major competitors in this market
are Del Monte Pacific Limited, Universal Robina Corporation, Zesto Corporation, The Coca-Cola
‘Company, and Asia Brewery Incorporated, among others. In recent years, the market has been
relatively fluid, with frequent product launches and shifting consumer preferences. These trends are
‘expected to continue,
Industry-wide competition intensified with marketing cempaigns, and trade and consumer promotions,
‘The Company believes that it can effectively compete by maximizing its 360-degree marketing
presence, maintaining its competitive price structures and expanding the range and reach of the
Company's portfolio. For the years to come, the Company will continue to expand its beverage
offerings leveraging its wide manufacturing platform and extensive distribution reach to meet consumer
demands.
Moreover, the Company invested aggressively, postioning the business for long-term growth while
ensuring financial flexibility to battle current challenges. The Company expanded and upgraded
manufacturing facilties in different plants to provide multiple product capabilities, maximize cost
savings, improve product quality and increase operating efficiencies,
‘Sources and availabilty of raw materials
Over half of total costs comprise purchases of raw materials. Largest purchases are sugar and
beverage concentrates. The Company purchases sugar requirements domestically. It purchases
beverage concentrates mainly from Concentrates Manufacturing (Singapore) Pte Ltd, mix tea kit
concentrates from Pepsi Lipton Intemational and seasoning from Pepsi Cola Intemational Cork
(reland)
‘Another substantial cost is packaging. The major components of this expense are purchases of
polyethylene terephthalate (‘PET”) resins, and pre-forms, which are converted into PET bottles at the
plants, non-reusable glass bottles, aluminum cans and PET closures. It also makes regular purchases
of RGBs to maintain float at appropriate levels. Purchases of each of these materials are from suppliers,
based in the Philippines and in other parts of Asia, usually under short term, negotiated and/or
contracted prices.g. Customers
‘The Company has a broad customer base nationwide. Majority of the customers include supermarkets,
convenience stores, groceries bars, sari-sari stores and carinderias.

considering sustainability program on circular economy and soon on waste neutrality.
‘The Company is compliant with all local environmental laws and regulations. All plants are equipped
with wastewater treatment plants and in some areas require air pollution control facilities,
While the foregoing agencies actively monitor the Company's compliance with environmental
regulations as well as investigate complaints brought by the public, itis required to police its own

effect on the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Annually, it invests about P30
milion in wastewater treatment and air pollution abatement, respectively, in ts facilities.
Employees
‘As of 31 December 2021, the Company has employed 3,186 regular employees. All of the regular and
permanent production employees at the bottling plants and sales offices are represented by a union.
Currently, the Company is a party to fourteen (14) Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA), with said‘agreements covering non-sales forces in some business units. Said CBAs contain economic and non-
economic provisions (i¢., salary increase and performance incentive, laundry allowance, per diem,
bereavernant assistance, union leave, calamity loan and assistance to employees’ cooperative, among
others), which generally have an effectivity and binding period of three (3) years, while the
representation aspect thereof is effective and binding for five (5) years.
‘The Company believes that its relationship with both union member and non-union member employees
is healthy. In fact, the Company has not experienced any work stoppages due to labor and industrial
disputes since 1998.
Significant emphasis is placed on training of personnel to increase their skill levels, ensure consistent
‘application of procedures, and to instill an appreciation of corporate values. To achieve these, It
operates "Pepsi University,” a full-time training facility consisting of three (3) main Training Halls, @
Computer Lab, Conference Room and an Audio-Visual Room and an online training platform via Zoom,
Likewise, PCPPI continues to champion its ICARE ~ Integrity, Innovation, Care and Respect,
Empowerment and Excellence values and thrives to keep a highly-engaged and high performing work
force. As such, “Pepsi University" allotted four (4) classrooms and an online training venue via Zoom
for this purpose.
Futhermore, It has adopted @ compensation policy which is believed to be competitive with industry
standards in the Philippines. Salaries and benefits are reviewed periodically and improved to retain
‘current employees and attract new employees. In relation therewith, employees’ performance is
reviewed annually, and employees are rewarded based on the attainment of pre-defined objectives.
Similarly, Performance Review follows an annually cycle, and employees are rewarded based on
achievement of pre-defined and agreed objectives.
Finally, the Company has a funded, non-contributory and defined retirement benefit plan covering
substantially all ofits regular and {ull ime employees. The Company has a Retirement Committee that
sets the policies for said plan, and has appointed two Philippine banks as trustees to manage said
retirement fund in accordance with the plan, Annual cost is determined using the projected unit credit
method.
Major Risks
Sales and profitability are affected by the overall performance of the Philippine economy, the natural
seasonality of sales, the competitive environment of the beverage market in the Philippines, as well as
changes in cost structures, among other factors.
Sales volume are also affected by the weather, generally being higher in the hot, dry months from
March through June and lower during the wetter monsoon months of July through October. In addition,
the Philippines is exposed to risk of typhoons during the monsoon period. Typhoons usually result in
substantially reduced sales in the affected area, and have, in the past, interrupted production at the
plants in affected areas. While these factors lead to a natural seasonality in sales, unseasonable
‘weather could also significantly affect sales and profitabilty compared to previous comparable periods
Sales during the Christmas/New Year holiday period in late December tend to be higher as well
‘The CSD and NCB markets are highly competitive. The actions of competitors as well as the
Company's own continuous efforts on pricing, marketing, promotions and new product development
atfect sales, Some of the smaller competitors have lower cost bases than the Company and price their
products lower than the Company's prices. Thus, in addition to the cost of producing and distributing
our beverages, sales prices are greally affected by the availabilty and price of competing brands in the
market.
All of the Company's sales are denominated in Philippine pesos. However, some of the significant
costs, such as purchases of packaging materials, are denominated in United States dollars, Some ofthe other costs, which are incurred in Philippine pesos, can also be affected by fluctuations in the
‘exchange rate between the Philippine peso and United States dollars, Euro and Malaysian Ringgit. In
respect of monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the Philippine peso, the
‘Company ensures that its exposure is kept to an acceptable level, by buying foreign currencies at spot
rates where necessary to address short-term imbalances. The Company considered the exposure to
foreign currency risk to be insignificant.
‘The business requires a significant supply of raw materials, water and energy. The cost and supply of
these materials could be adversely affected by changes in the world market prices or sources of sugar,
crude oil, aluminum, tin, PET resins, other raw materials, transportation, water, and energy, and
government regulation, among others. Although direct purchases of fuel are relatively small as a
proportion of total costs, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the price of oil through the
dependence on freight and delivery services. Changes in materials prices generally affect the
‘competitors as well
Margins differ between beverage products and package types and sizes. Excluding packaging,
production costs are similar across the range of carbonated beverages, but vary with non-carbonated
beverages. Packaging costs vary, with RGBs being less expensive than PET, aluminum cans or non-
returnable glass. The incremental cost of producing larger-sized serves in the same package type is,
proportionately lower than the increased volume, creating opportunities to achieve higher margins
‘where customers perceive value in terms of volume,
‘As a result of the factors discussed above, the margins the Company earns on the products can be
substantially different, and the margins can change in both absolute and relative terms from period to
period. While the Company attempts to adjust its product and package mix to improve profitability,
‘changes in consumer demand and the competitive landscape can have a significant impact on mix and
therefore profitability.
‘The Company is also subject to cracit risk, liquidity risk and various market risks, including risks from
changes in commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates (refer to Note 27 of the 31
December 2021 Audited Financial Statements for discussion on Financial Risk Management).
‘The Company was not aware of any event that resulted in a direct or contingent financial obligation as
of 31 December 2021 that was material to the Company, including any default or acceleration of an
obligation. To the Company's knowledge, there are no material off-balance sheet transactions,
‘arrangement, obligations (including contingent obligations) and other relationship of the Company with
unconsolidated entities or other persons created during the reporting period.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As a foreign-owned company, the Company is not permitted to own land in the Philippines and has no
intention to acquire real estate property. Hence, it leases the land on which the bottling plants, warehouses
and sales offices are located.
‘The Company leases certain parcels of land where its bottling plants and warehouses are located from
third parties and NADECO Really Corporation (NRC) for @ period of one to 25 years and are renewable for
another one to 25 years (refer to Note 23 to the 31 December 2021 Audited Financial Statements for further
information on the leases). Lease payments pertaining to these leased properties amounted to
8245.6 milion-2196.2 million, and 173.9 milion for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2020, and 2019,
respectively.
‘The Company owns all its bottling facilities located in Muntinlupa City, Sto, Tomas, Rosario, Pampanga,
Naga, Cebu, lloilo, Bacolod, Tanauan, Davao, Cagayan de Oro and Zamboanga and snacks facilites in
Cabuyao (which was discontinued its operation in September 2019), which are all in good condition. Other
than the buildings and leasehold improvements, machinery and other equipment, and furniture and fixturesdisclosed in Note 9 to the 31 December 2021 Audited Financial Statements, and the investments in shares
Of stocks disclosed in Note 7 to the 31 December 2021 Audited Financial Statements, the Company does
ot hold any other significant properties.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company becomes a party to litigation in the ordinary course of its business. The
majority of the cases in which the Company is a party are cases it files to recover debis in relation to unpaid
receivables by trade partners or in relation to cash or route shortages, private criminal prosecutions that it
brings (generally for low value offenses such as theft of product or distribution equipment, fraud and
bouncing checks), labor cases for alleged illegal dismissal (which are usually accompanied by demands for
reinstatement in the Company without loss of seniority rights and payment of back wages), and consumer
cases brought against the Company involving allegations of defective products.
Civil cases were filed against the Company in which thousands of individuals claimed to hold numbered
bottle crowns that entitled them to a cash prize under a promotional campaign of the Company in 1982.
‘The Philippine Supreme Court has consistently held in atleast 7 final and executory decisions that the
Company isnot liable to pay the amounts ciaimed, In the most recent of these decisions, the Suprome
Court dismissed a similar claim, reiterating that itis bound by its pronouncement in a number of cases
involving this promotion. By virue of the precedential effect of the decided cases, the Company expects
the remaining cases to be dismissed in due course,
The Company and its lessors have a pending case which sought to enjoin the National Water Resources
Board (‘NWRB’) from closing and sealing the Company's wells in Muntinlupa on the ground of alleged non-
‘compliance with the requirements under Presidential Decree No. 1067, otherwise known as the Water
Code, and its implementing rules and for the court to declare the rights Of the Company under the Water
Code. The case has been duly resolved by the Supreme Court. To date, certain officers of the Company
are respondents to @ case filed by NWRB on alleged violation of the Water Code. The case remains to be
resolved and is pending resolution by the Department of Justice
‘The Company has pending civil cases with the Regional Trial Court on the cancellation of assessments
and refund of local business taxes in the City of Muntinlupa,
