Failure to realize anticipated benefits from our productivity or reinvestment initiatives or operating model
can have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our future success and earnings growth depend, in part, on our ability to continue to reduce costs and improve
efficiencies, including implementing shared business service organizational models while reinvesting back
into the business. Our productivity initiatives help support our growth initiatives and contribute to our results
of operations. We continue to implement productivity initiatives that we believe will position our business
for long-term sustainable growth by allowing us to achieve a lower cost structure, improve decision-making
and operate more efficiently in the highly competitive beverage, food and snack categories and markets.
Some of these measures have yielded and could continue to yield unintended consequences, such as business
disruptions, distraction of management and employees, reduced employee morale and productivity, and
unexpected additional employee attrition, including the inability to attract or retain key personnel. It is critical
that we have the appropriate personnel in place to lead and execute our plans, including to effectively manage
personnel adjustments and transitions resulting from these initiatives and increased competition for employees
with the skills necessary to implement our plans. If we are unable to successfully implement our productivity
initiatives as planned, fail to implement these initiatives as timely as we anticipate, do not achieve expected
savings as a result of these initiatives or incur higher than expected or unanticipated costs in implementing
these initiatives, fail to identify and implement additional productivity opportunities in the future, or fail to
successfully manage business disruptions or unexpected employee consequences on our workforce, morale
or productivity, we may not realize all or any of the anticipated benefits, resulting in adverse effects on our
business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, in order to continue to capitalize on our cost
reduction efforts and operating model, it will be necessary to make certain investments in our business, which
may be limited due to capital constraints. From time to time, we have in the past and could continue to
implement these investment initiatives to enable us to compete more effectively, including investments to
increase manufacturing capacity, improve innovation, transform our manufacturing, commercial and
corporate operations through digital technologies and artificial intelligence, and enhance brand management
through our use of data analytics to develop new commercial and consumer insights. If we fail to realize all
or any of the anticipated benefits of these reinvestment initiatives, our business, financial condition or results
of operations can be adversely affected.
