47、 purposes is to expense production costs of print,radio,television and other advertisements asof the first date the advertisements take place.All other marketing expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.For quarterly reporting purposes,we allocate our estim
48、ated full year marketing expenditures that benefit multiple quarters to each of those quarters.We use the proportion ofeach quarters actual unit case volume to the estimated full year unit case volume as the basis for the allocation.This methodology results in our marketing expenditures beingrecogni
49、zed at a standard rate per unit case.At the end of each quarter,we review our estimated full year unit case volume and our estimated full year marketing expendituresthat benefit multiple quarters in order to evaluate if a change in estimate is necessary.The impact of any change in the full year esti
50、mate is recognized in the quarter in whichthe change in estimate occurs.Our full year marketing expenditures are not impacted by this interim accounting policy.Cash,Cash Equivalents,Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash EquivalentsWe classify time deposits and other investments that are highly liquid

88、 Note 16 for the net presentation of the Companys derivative instruments.Refer to Note 16 for additional information related to the estimated fair value.Credit Risk Associated with DerivativesWe have established strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial in
89、stitutions of investment grade or better.We monitor counterpartyexposures regularly and review any downgrade in credit rating immediately.If a downgrade in the credit rating of a counterparty were to occur,we have provisions requiringcollateral for substantially all of our transactions.To mitigate p
90、resettlement risk,minimum credit standards become more stringent as the duration of the derivative financialinstrument increases.In addition,the Companys master netting agreements reduce credit risk by permitting the Company to net settle for transactions with the samecounterparty.To minimize the co
91、ncentration of credit risk,we enter into derivative transactions with a portfolio of financial institutions.Furthermore,for certain derivativefinancial instruments,the Company has agreements with counterparties that require collateral to be exchanged based on changes in the fair value of the instrum
92、ents.TheCompany classifies collateral payments and receipts as investing cash flows when the collateral account is in an asset position and as financing cash flows when the collateralaccount is in a liability position.As a result of these factors,we consider the risk of counterparty default to be mi
93、nimal.Cash Flow Hedging StrategyThe Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currencyexchange rates,commodity prices or interest rates.The changes in the fair values of derivatives de
94、signated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated othercomprehensive income(loss)(“AOCI”)and are reclassified into the line item in our consolidated statement of income in which the hedged items are recorded in the sameperiod the hedged items affect earnings.The changes in the fair values of
95、hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCI into earnings.The maximum length of time for which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is typically three years.The Company maintains a foreign currency cash flow hedging program t
96、o reduce the risk that our U.S.dollar net cash inflows from sales outside of the United States and U.S.dollar net cash outflows from procurement activities will be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.We enter into forward contracts and purchaseforeign currency optio

98、ly offset by gains inthe fair value of the derivative instruments.Conversely,when the U.S.dollar weakens,the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offsetby losses in the fair value of the derivative instruments.The total notional values of derivatives that
99、were designated and qualified for the Companys foreign currency cashflow hedging program were$7,042 million and$5,510 million as of March 31,2023 and December 31,2022,respectively.1,211211The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the changes in cash flows of certain of its foreign currency deno
100、minated debt and other monetary assets or liabilities due tofluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.For this hedging program,the Company recognizes in earnings each period the changes in carrying values of these foreigncurrency denominated assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in exchan
101、ge rates.The changes in fair values of the cross-currency swap derivatives are recorded in AOCI withan immediate reclassification into earnings for the changes in fair values attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.The total notional value of derivativesthat were designated a
102、s cash flow hedges for the Companys foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities was$958 million as of both March 31,2023 and December 31,2022.The Company has entered into commodity futures contracts and other derivative instruments on various commodities to mitigate the price risk associated
103、 with forecastedpurchases of materials used in our manufacturing process.These derivative instruments were designated as part of the Companys commodity cash flow hedging program.Theobjective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with future purchases of certai
104、n commodities.The total notional values of derivatives thatwere designated and qualified for this program were$57 million and$35 million as of March 31,2023 and December 31,2022,respectively.Our Company monitors our mix of short-term debt and long-term debt regularly.We manage our risk to interest r
105、ate fluctuations through the use of derivative financialinstruments.From time to time,the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements and designates these instruments as part of the Companys interest rate cash flowhedging program.The objective of this hedging program is to mitigate the risk of
106、 adverse changes in benchmark interest rates on the Companys future interest payments.As ofMarch 31,2023 and December 31,2022,we did not have any interest rate swaps designated as a cash flow hedge.The following table presents the pretax impact that changes in the fair values of derivatives designat

111、 cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated debtrelating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates.The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and theoffsetting chan
112、ges in the fair values of the hedged items are recognized in earnings.As a result,any difference is reflected in earnings as ineffectiveness.When a derivative isno longer designated as a fair value hedge for any reason,including termination and maturity,the remaining unamortized difference between t
113、he carrying value of the hedgeditem at that time and the face value of the hedged item is amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the hedged item,or immediately if the hedged item has matured or hasbeen extinguished.The total notional values of derivatives that were designated and qualified

119、 a number of foreign operations.For derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations,the changes in the fairvalues of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in net foreign currency translation adjustments,a component of
120、AOCI,to offset the changes in the values of the netinvestments being hedged.For non-derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations,the changes in thecarrying values of the designated portions of the non-derivative financial instrum

136、ichenables our suppliers,at their sole discretion,to sell their receivables from the Company to these financial institutions on a non-recourse basis at a rate that leverages our creditrating and thus may be more beneficial to them.The SCF program is available to suppliers of goods and services inclu
137、ded in cost of goods sold and selling,general andadministrative expenses in our consolidated statement of income.The Company and our suppliers agree on contractual terms for the goods and services we procure,includingprices,quantities and payment terms,regardless of whether the supplier elects to pa
138、rticipate in the SCF program.The suppliers sell goods or services,as applicable,to theCompany and issue the associated invoices to the Company based on the agreed-upon contractual terms.Then,if they are participating in the SCF program,our suppliers,attheir sole discretion,determine which invoices,i
139、f any,they want to sell to the financial institutions.Our suppliers voluntary inclusion of invoices in the SCF program has nobearing on our payment terms.No guarantees are provided by the Company or any of our subsidiaries under the SCF program.We have no economic interest in a suppliersdecision to
140、participate in the SCF program,and we have no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions,as it relates to the SCF program.Accordingly,amountsdue to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in the line item accounts payable and accrued expenses in o

142、that the Company has confirmed as valid to the financial institutions under theSCF program was$1,236 million and$1,351 million,respectively.14NOTE 8:DEBT AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTSLoans and notes payable consist primarily of commercial paper issued in the United States.As of March 31,2023 and Decemb
143、er 31,2022,we had$5,282 million and$2,146 million,respectively,in outstanding commercial paper borrowings.During the three months ended March 31,2023,our bottling operations in Africa extinguished prior to maturity U.S.dollar term loans with a total principal amount of$121 million,with variable inte
144、rest rates ranging from the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate(“LIBOR”)plus 2.950 percent to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.000percent.Additionally,the bottling operations extinguished prior to maturity a U.S.dollar revolving facility of$40 million,with a variable interest rate of the Secured O
145、vernightFinancing Rate plus 2.344 percent.NOTE 9:COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESGuaranteesAs of March 31,2023,we were contingently liable for guarantees of indebtedness owed by third parties of$1,047 million,of which$95 million was related to variable interestentities.Our guarantees are primarily rela
146、ted to third-party customers,bottlers and vendors and have arisen through the normal course of business.These guarantees havevarious terms,and none of these guarantees is individually significant.These amounts represent the maximum potential future payments that we could be required to makeunder the
147、 guarantees.However,management has concluded that the likelihood of any significant amounts being paid by our Company under these guarantees is not probable.Concentrations of Credit RiskWe believe our exposure to concentrations of credit risk is limited due to the diverse geographic areas covered by
148、 our operations.Legal ContingenciesThe Company is involved in various legal proceedings.We establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome isprobable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.Management has also identified ce
149、rtain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome isreasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made.Management believes that the total liabilities of the Company that may arise as a result ofcurrently pending legal proceedings(excluding tax audit claim
150、s)will not have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole.Tax AuditsThe Company is involved in various tax matters,with respect to some of which the outcome is uncertain.These uncertain tax matters may result in the assessment of additionaltaxes.On September 17,2015,the Company recei
151、ved a Statutory Notice of Deficiency(“Notice”)from the U.S.Internal Revenue Service(“IRS”)seeking approximately$3.3 billion of additional federal income tax for years 2007 through 2009.In the Notice,the IRS stated its intent to reallocate over$9 billion of income to the U.S.parentcompany from certai
152、n of its foreign affiliates that the U.S.parent company licensed to manufacture,distribute,sell,market and promote its products in certain non-U.S.markets.The Notice concerned the Companys transfer pricing between its U.S.parent company and certain of its foreign affiliates.IRS rules governing trans
153、fer pricing require arms-length pricing of transactions between related parties such as the Companys U.S.parent and its foreign affiliates.To resolve the same transfer pricing issue for the tax years 1987 through 1995,the Company and the IRS had agreed in 1996 on an arms-length methodology for deter
154、miningthe amount of U.S.taxable income that the U.S.parent company would report as compensation from its foreign licensees.The Company and the IRS memorialized this accordin a closing agreement resolving that dispute(“Closing Agreement”).The Closing Agreement provided that,absent a change in materia
155、l facts or circumstances or relevantfederal tax law,in calculating the Companys income taxes going forward,the Company would not be assessed penalties by the IRS for using the agreed-upon tax calculationmethodology that the Company and the IRS agreed would be used for the 1987 through 1995 tax years
156、.The IRS audited and confirmed the Companys compliance with the agreed-upon Closing Agreement methodology in five successive audit cycles for tax years 1996 through2006.The September 17,2015 Notice from the IRS retroactively rejected the previously agreed-upon methodology for the 2007 through 2009 t
157、ax years in favor of an entirelydifferent methodology,without prior notice to the Company.Using the new tax calculation methodology,the IRS reallocated over$9 billion of income to the U.S.parentcompany from its foreign licensees15for tax years 2007 through 2009.Consistent with the Closing Agreement,
158、the IRS did not assert penalties,and it has yet to do so.The IRS designated the Companys matter for litigation on October 15,2015.Litigation designation is an IRS determination that forecloses to a company any and all alternativemeans for resolution of a tax dispute.As a result of the IRS designatio
159、n of the Companys matter for litigation,the Company was forced to either accept the IRS newlyimposed tax assessment and pay the full amount of the asserted tax or litigate the matter in the federal courts.The matter remains subject to the IRS litigation designation,preventing the Company from any at
160、tempt to settle or otherwise mutually resolve the matter with the IRS.The Company consequently initiated litigation by filing a petition in the U.S.Tax Court(“Tax Court”)in December 2015,challenging the tax adjustments enumerated in theNotice.Prior to trial,the IRS increased its transfer pricing adj
161、ustment by$385 million,resulting in an additional tax adjustment of$135 million.The Company obtained a summaryjudgment in its favor on a different matter related to Mexican foreign tax credits,which thereafter effectively reduced the IRS potential tax adjustment by$138 million.The trial was held in
162、the Tax Court from March through May 2018,and final post-trial briefs were filed and exchanged in April 2019.On November 18,2020,the Tax Court issued an opinion(“Opinion”)in which it predominantly sided with the IRS but agreed with the Company that dividends previously paidby the foreign licensees t
163、o the U.S.parent company in reliance upon the Closing Agreement should continue to be allowed to offset royalties,including those that wouldbecome payable to the Company in accordance with the Opinion.The Tax Court reserved ruling on the effect of Brazilian legal restrictions on the payment of royal
164、ties by theCompanys licensee in Brazil until after the Tax Court issues its opinion in the separate case of 3M Co.&Subs.v.Commissioner,T.C.Docket No.5816-13(filed March 11,2013).The Tax Court issued its opinion in 3M Co.s case(“3M Co.opinion”)on February 9,2023.Once the Tax Court completes its analy
165、sis of the application of the 3M Co.opinion to the Companys case,the Company expects the Tax Court to render another opinion,and ultimately a decision,in the Companys case.The Company believes that the IRS and the Tax Court misinterpreted and misapplied the applicable regulations in reallocating inc
166、ome earned by the Companys foreignlicensees to increase the Companys U.S.tax.Moreover,the Company believes that the retroactive imposition of such tax liability using a calculation methodology differentfrom that previously agreed upon by the IRS and the Company,and audited by the IRS for over a deca
167、de,is unconstitutional.The Company intends to assert its claims onappeal and vigorously defend its position.In determining the amount of tax reserve to be recorded as of December 31,2020,the Company completed the required two-step evaluation process prescribed by AccountingStandards Codification 740
168、,Accounting for Income Taxes.In doing so,we consulted with outside advisors,and we reviewed and considered relevant laws,rules,andregulations,including,but not limited to,the Opinion and relevant caselaw.We also considered our intention to vigorously defend our positions and assert our various well-
169、founded legal claims via every available avenue of appeal.We concluded,based on the technical and legal merits of the Companys tax positions,that it is more likely than notthe Companys tax positions will ultimately be sustained on appeal.In addition,we considered a number of alternative transfer pri
170、cing methodologies,including themethodology asserted by the IRS and affirmed in the Opinion(“Tax Court Methodology”),that could be applied by the courts upon final resolution of the litigation.Based onthe required probability analysis,we determined the methodologies we believe the federal courts cou
171、ld ultimately order to be used in calculating the Companys tax.As a resultof this analysis,we recorded a tax reserve of$438 million during the year ended December 31,2020 related to the application of the resulting methodologies as well as thedifferent tax treatment applicable to dividends originall
172、y paid to the U.S.parent company by its foreign licensees,in reliance upon the Closing Agreement,that would berecharacterized as royalties in accordance with the Opinion and the Companys analysis.The Companys conclusion that it is more likely than not the Companys tax positions will ultimately be su
173、stained on appeal is unchanged as of March 31,2023.However,weupdated our calculation of the methodologies we believe the federal courts could ultimately order to be used in calculating the Companys tax.As a result of the application ofthe required probability analysis to these updated calculations a
174、nd the accrual of interest through the current reporting period,we updated our tax reserve as of March 31,2023to$432 million.While the Company strongly disagrees with the IRS positions and the portions of the Opinion affirming such positions,it is possible that some portion or all of the adjustmentp
175、roposed by the IRS and sustained by the Tax Court could ultimately be upheld.In that event,the Company would likely be subject to significant additional liabilities for taxyears 2007 through 2009,and potentially also for subsequent years,which could have a material adverse impact on the Companys fin
176、ancial position,results of operations andcash flows.The Company calculated the potential impact of applying the Tax Court Methodology to reallocate income from foreign licensees potentially covered within the scope of theOpinion,assuming such methodology were to be ultimately upheld by the16courts a
177、nd the IRS were to decide to apply that methodology to subsequent years with consent of the federal courts.This impact would include taxes and interest accruedthrough December 31,2022 for the 2007 through 2009 litigated tax years and for subsequent tax years from 2010 through 2022.The calculations i
178、ncorporated the estimatedimpact of correlative adjustments to the previously accrued transition tax payable under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.The Company estimates that the potential aggregateincremental tax and interest liability could be approximately$14 billion as of December 31,2022.Additiona
179、l income tax and interest would continue to accrue until the timeany such potential liability,or portion thereof,were to be paid.The Company estimates the impact of the continued application of the Tax Court Methodology for the threemonths ended March 31,2023 would increase the potential aggregate i
180、ncremental tax and interest liability by approximately$400 million.Additionally,we currently projectthe continued application of the Tax Court Methodology in future years,assuming similar facts and circumstances as of December 31,2022,would result in an incrementalannual tax liability that would inc
181、rease the Companys effective tax rate by approximately 3.5 percent.The Company does not know when the Tax Court will issue its opinion regarding the effect of Brazilian legal restrictions on the payment of royalties by the Companys licenseein Brazil for the 2007 through 2009 tax years.After the Tax
182、Court issues its opinion on the Companys Brazilian licensee,the Company and the IRS will be provided time toagree on the tax impact of both opinions,after which the Tax Court would render a decision in the case.The Company will have 90 days thereafter to file a notice of appeal tothe U.S.Court of Ap
183、peals for the Eleventh Circuit and pay the tax liability and interest related to the 2007 through 2009 tax years.The Company currently estimates that thepayment to be made at that time related to the 2007 through 2009 tax years,which is included in the above estimate of the potential aggregate incre
184、mental tax and interestliability,would be approximately$5.4 billion(including interest accrued through March 31,2023),plus any additional interest accrued through the time of payment.Some orall of this amount would be refunded if the Company were to prevail on appeal.Risk Management ProgramsThe Comp
185、any has numerous global insurance programs in place to help protect the Company from the risk of loss.In general,we are self-insured for large portions of manydifferent types of claims.However,we do use commercial insurance above our self-insured retentions to reduce the Companys risk of catastrophi
186、c loss.Our reserves for theCompanys self-insured losses are estimated using actuarial methods and assumptions of the insurance industry,adjusted for our specific expectations based on our claimshistory.Our self-insurance reserves totaled$198 million and$199 million as of March 31,2023 and December 3

280、ies included in our consolidatedfinancial statements.On March 8,2022,the Company announced the suspension of its business in Russia as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.In addition,the conflict has causeda disruption of our business in Ukraine.Given the rapidly changing conditions,
281、the Company will continue to monitor and assess the situation as circumstances evolve.As apoint of reference,during the three months ended April 1,2022,the Companys business in Russia and Ukraine contributed approximately 2 percent of the Companys unit casevolume and approximately 1 percent of both
282、the Companys consolidated net operating revenues and operating income.During the three months ended March 31,2023,the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact our business.While uncertainties caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic remain,and factors such as the state of the supply cha
283、in,labor shortages and the inflationary environment are likely to impact the pace of the economicrecovery,we are focused on executing for growth.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATESRecoverability of Current and Noncurrent AssetsOur Company faces many uncertainties and risks related to various
284、economic,political and regulatory environments in the countries and territories in which we operate,particularly in developing and emerging markets.Refer to the headings“Item 1A.Risk Factors”in Part I and“Our Business Challenges and Risks”in Part II of our AnnualReport on Form 10-K for the year ende
285、d December 31,2022.As a result,management must make numerous assumptions,which involve a significant amount of judgment,when performing recoverability and impairment tests of current and noncurrent assets in various regions around the world.We perform recoverability and impairment tests of current a
286、nd noncurrent assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States(“U.S.GAAP”).For certain assets,recoverability and/or impairment tests are required only when conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.For otherassets,impairment tests
287、 are required at least annually,or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired.The performance of recoverability and impairment tests of current and noncurrent assets involves critical accounting estimates.These estimates require significant managementjudgment,i
288、nclude inherent uncertainties and are often interdependent;therefore,they do not change in isolation.Factors that management must estimate include,among others,the economic lives of the assets,sales volume,pricing,royalty rates,cost of raw materials,delivery costs,the impact of any supply chain disr
289、uptions,inflation,long-termgrowth rates,cost of capital,marketing spending,foreign currency exchange rates,tax rates,capital spending,proceeds from the sale of assets and customers financialcondition.The variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions,and thus our accounting estimates
290、 may change from period to period.These factors are even moredifficult to estimate as a result of uncertainties associated with the scope,severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.The estimates we use when performingrecoverability tests of assets are consistent with those we use in our internal
291、 planning.When performing impairment tests,we estimate the fair values of the assets usingmanagements best assumptions,which we believe are consistent with those a market participant would use.The Company has certain intangible and other long-lived assetsthat are more dependent on cash flows generat
292、ed in away-from-home channels and/or that generate cash flows in geographic areas which are more heavily impacted by theCOVID-19 pandemic,and therefore these assets are more susceptible to impairment.In addition,intangible and other long-lived assets we acquired in recent transactions arenaturally m
293、ore susceptible to impairment,because they are recorded at fair value based on recent operating plans and macroeconomic conditions at the time of acquisition.Ifwe had used other assumptions and estimates when impairment tests were performed,impairment charges could have resulted.Furthermore,if manag
294、ement uses differentassumptions in future periods,or if different conditions exist in future periods,impairment charges could result.The total future impairment charges we may be required torecord could be material.As of March 31,2023,the carrying value of our investment in Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan
295、Holdings Inc.exceeded the fair value by$8 million,or 2 percent.Based on the lengthof time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than our carrying value and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow forany anticipated recovery in market va
296、lue,management determined that the decline in fair value was temporary in nature.Therefore,we did not record an impairment chargerelated to the investment.Our equity method investees also perform such recoverability and impairment tests.If an impairment charge is recorded by one of our equity method
297、 investees,the Companyrecords its proportionate share of such charge as a reduction of equity income(loss)net in our consolidated statement of income.However,the actual amount we record withrespect to our proportionate share of such charge may be impacted by items such as basis differences,deferred
298、taxes and deferred gains.27OPERATIONS REVIEWSales of our ready-to-drink beverages are somewhat seasonal,with the second and third calendar quarters typically accounting for the highest sales volumes.The volume ofsales in the beverage business may be affected by weather conditions.Structural Changes,
299、Acquired Brands and Newly Licensed BrandsIn order to continually improve upon the Companys operating performance,from time to time,we engage in buying and selling ownership interests in bottling partners andother manufacturing operations.In addition,we periodically acquire brands and their related o
300、perations or enter into license agreements for certain brands to supplement ourbeverage offerings.These items impact our operating results and certain key metrics used by management in assessing the Companys performance.Unit case volume growth is a key metric used by management to evaluate the Compa
301、nys performance because it measures demand for our products at the consumer level.TheCompanys unit case volume represents the number of unit cases(or unit case equivalents)of Company beverage products directly or indirectly sold by the Company and itsbottling partners to customers or consumers and,t
302、herefore,reflects unit case volume for both consolidated and unconsolidated bottlers.Refer to the heading“BeverageVolume”below.Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates,syrups,source waters and powders/minerals(in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents)sold by,orused i
303、n finished products sold by,the Company to its bottling partners or other customers.For Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products,concentrate sales volume representsthe amount of beverages,primarily measured in number of transactions(in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents),sold by the
304、Company to customers or consumers.Refer to the heading“Beverage Volume”below.When we analyze our net operating revenues,we generally consider the following factors:(1)volume growth(concentrate sales volume or unit case volume,as applicable);(2)changes in price,product and geographic mix;(3)foreign c
305、urrency exchange rate fluctuations;and(4)acquisitions and divestitures(including structural changes as definedbelow),as applicable.Refer to the heading“Net Operating Revenues”below.The Company sells concentrates and syrups to both consolidated and unconsolidated bottlingpartners.The ownership struct
306、ure of our bottling partners impacts the timing of recognizing concentrate revenue and concentrate sales volume.When we sell concentrates orsyrups to our consolidated bottling partners,we do not recognize the concentrate revenue or concentrate sales volume until the bottling partner has sold finishe
307、d productsmanufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party.When we sell concentrates or syrups to our unconsolidated bottling partners,we recognize the concentraterevenue and concentrate sales volume when the concentrates or syrups are sold to the bottling partner.The subsequent sale of
308、 the finished products manufactured from theconcentrates or syrups to a third party does not impact the timing of recognizing the concentrate revenue or concentrate sales volume.When we account for an unconsolidatedbottling partner as an equity method investment,we eliminate the intercompany profit
309、related to concentrate sales,to the extent of our ownership interest,until the equitymethod investee has sold finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party.We typically report unit case volume when finished productsmanufactured from the concentrates or syrups are so
310、ld to a third party,regardless of our ownership interest in the bottling partner,if any.We generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling operations as“structural changes,”which are a component of acquisitions and divestitures.Typically,structuralchanges do not impact the Companys unit
311、 case volume or concentrate sales volume on a consolidated basis or at the geographic operating segment level.We report unit casevolume for all sales of Company beverage products,regardless of our ownership interest in the bottling partner,if any.However,the unit case volume reported by our Bottling
312、Investments operating segment is generally impacted by structural changes because it only includes the unit case volume of our consolidated bottling operations.Refer toNote 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Companys divestitures.“Acquired brands”refers
313、 to brands acquired during the past 12 months.Typically,the Company has not reported unit case volume or recognized concentrate sales volumerelated to acquired brands in periods prior to the closing of a transaction.Therefore,the unit case volume and concentrate sales volume related to an acquired b
314、rand areincremental to prior year volume.We generally do not consider the acquisition of a brand to be a structural change.“Licensed brands”refers to brands not owned by the Company but for which we hold certain rights,generally including,but not limited to,distribution rights,and from whichwe deriv
315、e an economic benefit when the related products are sold.Typically,the Company has not reported unit case volume or recognized concentrate sales volume related toa licensed brand in periods prior to the beginning of the term of a license agreement.Therefore,in the year that a license agreement is en
316、tered into,the unit case volume andconcentrate sales volume related to a licensed brand are incremental to prior year volume.We generally do not consider the licensing of a brand to be a structural change.In July 2022,the Company acquired certain brands in Asia Pacific.The impact of acquiring these
317、brands has been included in acquisitions and divestitures in our analysis of netoperating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Asia Pacific operating segment.Also,in August 2022,the Company acquired a controlling interest in a bottlingoperation in Malawi.The28impact of this acquisitio
318、n has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investmentsoperating segment.Additionally,in November 2022,the Company refranchised our bottling operations in Cambodia.The impact of this refranchising has been i
319、ncluded as astructural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments.In January 2023,the Company refranchised our bottling operations in Vietnam.The impact of this refranchising has been included a

321、ales.As used in this report,“unit case”meansa unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S.fluid ounces of finished beverage(24 eight-ounce servings),with the exception of unit case equivalents for Costa non-ready-to-drinkbeverage products,which are primarily measured in number of transactions;and“unit case
322、 volume”means the number of unit cases(or unit case equivalents)of Companybeverage products directly or indirectly sold by the Company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers.Unit case volume primarily consists of beverage productsbearing Company trademarks.Also included in unit case vol
323、ume are certain brands licensed to,or distributed by,our Company,and brands owned by Coca-Cola systembottlers for which our Company provides marketing support and from the sale of which we derive an economic benefit.In addition,unit case volume includes sales by certainjoint ventures in which the Co
324、mpany has an ownership interest.We believe unit case volume is one of the indicators of the underlying strength of the Coca-Cola systembecause it measures demand for our products at the consumer level.The unit case volume numbers used in this report are derived based on estimates received by the Com
325、panyfrom its bottling partners and distributors.Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates,syrups,source waters and powders/minerals(in all instancesexpressed in unit case equivalents)sold by,or used in finished beverages sold by,the Company to its bottling partners or other cust
326、omers.For Costa non-ready-to-drinkbeverage products,concentrate sales volume represents the amount of beverages,primarily measured in number of transactions(in all instances expressed in unit caseequivalents),sold by the Company to customers or consumers.Unit case volume and concentrate sales volume
327、 growth rates are not necessarily equal during any given period.Factors such as seasonality,bottlers inventory practices,supply point changes,timing of price increases,new product introductions and changes in product mix can createdifferences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume gro
328、wth rates.In addition to these items,the impact of unit case volume from certain joint ventures in whichthe Company has an ownership interest,but to which the Company does not sell concentrates,syrups,source waters or powders/minerals,may give rise to differences betweenunit case volume and concentr
