The Coca-Cola Company Reports Continued Strong Results in Second Quarter 2018
Net Revenues Declined 8%, Impacted by Bottler Refranchising;
Organic Revenues (Non-GAAP) Grew 5%, Driven by Balanced Volume and Price/Mix

Operating Margin Expanded More Than 950 Basis Points;
Comparable Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) Expanded More Than 300 Basis Points

Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations Grew 68% to $0.53; Comparable Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) Grew 3% to $0.61, Impacted by a 2% Currency Headwind

ATLANTA, July 25, 2018 – The Coca-Cola Company continued to execute on its key strategies in the second quarter of 2018. While reported net revenues for the quarter declined due to refranchising, the company delivered strong organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth through balanced volume and price/mix, while gaining value share globally.
"We're encouraged with our performance year-to-date as we continue our evolution as a consumer-centric, total beverage company," said James Quincey, President and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. "We have the right strategies in place and remain focused on achieving our full year guidance."
During the quarter, the company continued to accelerate its evolution as a total beverage company, from testing new products locally to lifting and shifting successful brands globally. The company is also driving an acceleration in the sparkling soft drinks category through investment and innovation, with 5% retail value growth in its sparkling portfolio during the quarter. These efforts, balanced with disciplined growth, have resulted in transaction growth of 4% year-to-date, outpacing unit case volume growth of 3%.
Highlights
Quarterly Performance
Revenues: Net revenues declined 8% to $8.9 billion, impacted by a 15% headwind from the refranchising of company-owned bottling operations. Organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 5%, driven by concentrate sales growth of more than 2% and price/mix growth of more than 2%.
Volume: Unit case volume grew 2%. Growth was led by Trademark Coca-Cola, including continued double-digit growth for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, and also reflects the continued strong performance of Fuze Tea.

Margin: Operating margin, which included items impacting comparability, grew more than 950 basis points. Comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expanded more than 300 basis points, driven by divestitures of lower-margin bottling operations and the company's ongoing productivity efforts, partially offset by an approximate 200 basis point headwind from the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard and the impact of currency.
Market share: The company continued to gain value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (NARTD) beverages.
Cash flow: Year-to-date cash from operations was $2.6 billion, down 22%. The decline was largely due to the impact of more than $600 million from the year-over-year increase in tax payments in addition to the impact of the refranchising of North American bottling territories, partially offset by strong cash generation in the underlying business. Year-to-date free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $2.0 billion, down 20%.
Share repurchases: Year-to-date purchases of stock for treasury were $1.3 billion. Year-to-date net share repurchases (non-GAAP) totaled $730 million.
Company Updates
Lifting, shifting and scaling brands around the world: The company expanded its footprint within the fast-growing, plant-based nourishment category with the launch of AdeZ in Europe by leveraging the brand edge of AdeS, a plant-based beverage originating in Latin America. Positioned as a premium offering, AdeZ will expand the company's presence beyond the beverage aisle into on-the-go snacking. AdeZ was launched in more than 10 European markets during the quarter and is on-track to be in 19 markets by the end of 2018. This rollout across a new continent, within a year after the acquisition of AdeS, illustrates the company’s ability to act with speed and agility in a rapidly changing consumer landscape.
Reducing sugar while growing value: The company continued to execute on its strategy of delivering great-tasting sparkling beverages with less sugar. During the quarter, the company debuted Coca-Cola Stevia No Sugar in New Zealand, which is sweetened with 100% stevia. The company also expanded its Diet Coke brand re-stage into Great Britain, including the introduction of new flavors. Within North America, the company's no-sugar sparkling soft drink portfolio accelerated from the first quarter, resulting in 7% retail value growth, driven by Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Diet Coke.
Digitizing the enterprise: The company continues to embrace the growth of e-commerce and rethink how products are sold and delivered, not only to consumers but to customers as well. In North America, the company expanded coverage of the digital MyCoke platform, which allows retail customers to replenish beverage inventories and schedule future orders online. The MyCoke platform has led to over a 5% increase in sales revenue versus orders placed through traditional call centers, while reducing costs and further driving the Coca-Cola system's competitive edge.

2



System commitment to drive shared opportunity: The system’s ongoing commitment to investment in capabilities and products was demonstrated by three significant announcements during the quarter. In the United States, Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages (CCSWB) announced plans to build a new production and distribution facility to expand the portfolio and help drive improved execution. The CCSWB plant in Houston will be the first built in the U.S. in over a decade. In China, the company and its bottling partner, Swire Group, celebrated the opening of one of the country's largest plants. The facility received a gold certification of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). In Canada, fairlife LLC – one of the company's joint ventures in value-added dairy – announced plans to build a new production facility in Ontario and introduce fairlife products in the Canadian market.
Doing business the right way: The company has long been engaged in water conservation efforts throughout the world as part of its goal to replenish all of the water used in its beverages. The company accomplished this goal globally five years ahead of schedule and continues to invest in water replenishment programs. Earlier this year, the company announced its World Without Waste initiative, with goals that include collecting and recycling a bottle or can for every one the company sells by 2030. Each of the company’s business units has developed local plans to address the pillars of the World Without Waste program. For example, in Mexico, the company’s bottled water brand, Ciel, is now available in a 100% recycled PET bottle. The company plans to release its annual sustainability report in August.

1 For Bottling Investments, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume after considering the impact of structural changes.
2 Represents the impact of adoption of new revenue recognition accounting standard.
3 Organic revenues, comparable currency neutral operating income, comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) and comparable currency neutral EPS from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.

In addition to the data in the preceding tables, operating results included the following:
Consolidated
Price/mix grew more than 2% for the quarter, driven by strong pricing and mix performance in the company's international operations.
Unit case volume grew 2% in the quarter. Category cluster performance was as follows:
Sparkling soft drinks: 2%
Juice, dairy and plant-based beverages: -2%
Water, enhanced water and sports drinks: 4%

4



Tea and coffee: -1%
Operating income was impacted by comparability items, predominantly charges associated with productivity and reinvestment initiatives, as well as structural items related to refranchising. Growth in comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) was driven by organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and the benefit from ongoing productivity initiatives.
Europe, Middle East & Africa
Price/mix grew 4% for the quarter due to solid price/mix across all business units, partially offset by negative geographic mix as growth in emerging and developing markets outpaced developed markets.
Unit case volume grew 1% in the quarter, as growth across the majority of the group's markets was partially offset by declines in South Africa and Western Europe.
Operating income growth trailed revenue growth, largely due to the impact of currency and increased marketing investments related to key product launches. Product mix also impacted the quarter due to continued strong growth in innocent, a finished goods business.
The company maintained value share in the juice, dairy and plant-based beverages cluster.
Latin America
Price/mix growth of 12% for the quarter was primarily driven by strong price/mix in Mexico, Brazil and the South Latin business unit.
Unit case volume was even for the quarter, as growth in Mexico and Chile was offset by declines in Argentina and Brazil.
The company gained value share in total NARTD beverages and gained or maintained value share in all category clusters.
North America
Price/mix declined 3% for the quarter as low single-digit pricing in the marketplace was offset by 1 point from increased freight costs, 1 point from the timing of deductions and approximately 2 points from business mix as performance in the concentrate business, notably sparkling soft drinks, outpaced the finished goods businesses, including juice and tea.
Unit case volume grew 1% in the quarter. Sparkling soft drinks growth of 1% included continued double-digit growth in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Juice, dairy and plant-based beverages declined 6%, as growth in dairy was offset by a decline in juice, largely due to package downsizing across the juice portfolio and deprioritizing lower-margin juice drink brands. Tea and coffee declined 1% as solid growth in coffee was offset by a decline in tea, primarily due to package downsizing in Gold Peak tea. Water, enhanced water and sports drinks grew 5%, led by strong growth in Powerade and across the total

5



water portfolio. Transactions outpaced volume across each line of business as the company continued to focus on driving value over volume.
Operating income was unfavorably impacted by a 5-point headwind from cycling the benefit of intercompany profit elimination in the prior year related to the refranchising of North American bottling operations, as well as increased input and freight costs.
The company gained value share in total NARTD beverages along with sparkling soft drinks and the water, enhanced water and sports drinks cluster.
Asia Pacific
Price/mix was even for the quarter, as positive underlying pricing was offset by negative geographic mix due to growth in China and India outpacing developed markets, specifically Japan and Australia.
Unit case volume growth of 5% in the quarter was driven by strong performance in China and India. All business units grew volume in the quarter, with the exception of South Pacific.
The company maintained value share in total NARTD beverages and gained value share in sparkling soft drinks.
Bottling Investments
Price/mix grew 1% for the quarter, largely due to strong performance in India and benefiting from geographic mix.
The operating loss for the quarter was largely driven by items impacting comparability. Comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) was unfavorably impacted by the refranchising of North American bottling territories and the deconsolidation of previously held bottling operations in China in the prior year.

Outlook
The 2018 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to reconcile full year 2018 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported net revenues, full year 2018 projected comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported operating income, or full year 2018 projected comparable EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported EPS from continuing operations without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the exact timing and amount of acquisitions, divestitures and/or structural changes; the exact timing and amount of comparability items throughout 2018; and the actual impact of accounting changes. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on full year 2018 GAAP financial results.

Comparable operating income (non-GAAP): 4% headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions – Updated
Full Year 2018 Impact from Acquisitions, Divestitures, Structural Items and Accounting Changes:
Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP): 17% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural items – No Change
Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP): 1% to 2% tailwind from accounting changes – No Change
Comparable operating income (non-GAAP): 2% structural headwind – No Change
Comparable operating income (non-GAAP): 0% impact from accounting changes – No Change
Full Year 2018 Other Items:
Underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP): Estimated to be 21% – No Change
Cash from operations of approximately $8.0 billion – Updated

Notes
All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period.
All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales, unless otherwise noted. "Unit case" means a unit of measurement equal to 24 eight-ounce servings of finished beverage. "Unit case volume" means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the company and its bottling partners to customers.
"Core business" represents the combined performance from the Europe, Middle East & Africa; Latin America; North America; Asia Pacific; and Corporate operating segments offset by intersegment eliminations.
"Concentrate sales" represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters, and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in equivalent unit cases) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the company to its bottling partners or other customers. In the reconciliation of reported net revenues, "concentrate sales" represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for the geographic operating segments (expressed in equivalent unit cases) after considering the impact of structural changes. For the Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume after considering the impact of structural changes. The Bottling Investments operating segment reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.
"Price/mix" represents the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred.
First quarter 2018 financial results were impacted by one less day, and fourth quarter 2018 financial results will be impacted by one additional day as compared to the same periods in 2017. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variances in days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.

Conference Call
The company is hosting a conference call with investors and analysts to discuss second quarter 2018 operating results today, July 25, 2018, at 8:30 a.m. ET. The company invites participants to listen to a live webcast of the conference call on the company’s website, http://www.coca-colacompany.com, in the "Investors" section. An audio replay in downloadable digital format and a transcript of the call will be available on the website within 24 hours following the call. Further, the "Investors" section of the website includes a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the company’s results as reported under GAAP, which may be used during the call when discussing financial results.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(UNAUDITED)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or referred to herein as "reported"). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures: "comparable net revenues", "organic revenues", "core business organic revenues", "comparable operating margin", "comparable operating income", "comparable currency neutral operating income", "comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes)", "comparable EPS from continuing operations", "comparable currency neutral EPS from continuing operations", "underlying effective tax rate", "free cash flow" and "net share repurchases", each of which are defined below. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and Company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.
DEFINITIONS
"Accounting changes" refer to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2018.
"Currency neutral operating results" are determined by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, our current period actual U.S. dollar operating results, by the current period actual exchange rates (that include the impact of current period currency hedging activities), to derive our current period local currency operating results. We then multiply or divide, as appropriate, the derived current period local currency operating results by the foreign currency exchange rates (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) used to translate the Company's financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the foreign currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period.
"Structural changes" generally refer to acquisitions or dispositions of bottling and distribution operations. In 2018, the Company refranchised certain bottling operations in Latin America. The impact of these transactions has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Latin America operating segments. In 2018, the Company acquired a controlling interest in the Oman bottler. The impact of this acquisition has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments operating segment. In 2017, the Company refranchised bottling territories in North America to certain of its unconsolidated bottling partners. Additionally, in conjunction with the refranchising of Coca-Cola Refreshments' ("CCR") Southwest operating unit ("Southwest Transaction") on April 1, 2017, we obtained an equity interest in AC Bebidas, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("AC Bebidas"), a subsidiary of Arca Continental, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Arca"), which impacted our North America and Bottling Investments operating segments. The impact of these transactions has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the applicable operating segments. In 2017, the Company also refranchised its bottling operations in China to the two local franchise bottlers. The impact of these refranchising activities has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for our Asia Pacific and Bottling Investments operating segments. These transactions were also included as structural items in our analysis of comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) on a consolidated basis. In addition, for non-Company-owned and licensed beverage products sold in the refranchised territories in North America for which the Company no longer reports unit case volume, we have eliminated the unit case volume from the base year when calculating 2018 versus 2017 volume growth rates on a consolidated basis as well as for the North America and Bottling Investments operating segments.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(UNAUDITED)

DEFINITIONS (continued)
"Comparable net revenues" is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). Management believes the comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure provides investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Company's revenue performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period results. "Organic revenues" is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural items, as applicable, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as the impact of accounting changes. Management believes the organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth measure provides users with useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing revenue performance and trends by presenting revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange, the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural items as well as the impact of accounting changes. "Core business organic revenues" is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the combined organic revenue performance from the Europe, Middle East and Africa; Latin America; North America; and Asia Pacific operating segments and Corporate offset by intersegment eliminations. Management believes the core business organic revenues (non-GAAP) measure enhances the understanding of the change in the net operating revenues of the operating segments of our business that are not significantly impacted by the acquisition and divestiture activity taking place in our Bottling Investments operating segment. The adjustments related to acquisitions, divestitures and structural items for the three and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 consisted of the structural changes discussed above. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, organic revenues (non-GAAP) were adjusted, both on a consolidated basis and for our North America operating segment, for the revenues generated by the Topo Chico premium sparkling water brand whose U.S. rights were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017.
"Comparable operating margin" and "comparable operating income" are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). "Comparable currency neutral operating income" and "comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes)" are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) has also been adjusted for structural changes and accounting changes. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expansion, comparable operating income (non-GAAP) growth, comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) growth and comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) growth measures enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Company's underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.
"Comparable EPS from continuing operations" and "comparable currency neutral EPS from continuing operations" are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). Comparable currency neutral EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP) has also been adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP) and comparable currency neutral EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP) growth measures enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Company's underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.

"Underlying effective tax rate" is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the estimated annual effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations before income taxes, which excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below).



17

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(UNAUDITED)

DEFINITIONS (continued)
"Free cash flow" is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate the Company's performance and make resource allocation decisions.
"Net share repurchases" is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects the net amount of purchases of stock for treasury after considering proceeds from the issuances of stock, the net change in stock issuance receivables (related to employee stock options exercised but not settled prior to the end of the period) and the net change in treasury stock payables (for treasury shares repurchased but not settled prior to the end of the period).
ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as "items impacting comparability" based on how management views our business; makes financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions; and evaluates the Company's ongoing performance. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as impacting only the current period or the comparable period, but not both, or as pertaining to different and unrelated underlying activities or events across comparable periods, are generally considered "items impacting comparability." Items impacting comparability include, but are not limited to, asset impairments, restructuring charges, charges related to our productivity and reinvestment initiatives, and transaction gains/losses, in each case when exceeding a U.S. dollar threshold. Also included are our proportionate share of similar items incurred by our equity method investees and timing differences related to our economic (nondesignated) hedging activities, regardless of size. In addition, we provide the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates had on our financial results ("currency neutral operating results" defined above).
Asset Impairments and Restructuring
Asset Impairments
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded charges of $60 million and $450 million, respectively, related to the impairment of Coca-Cola Refreshments ("CCR") assets that are recorded in our Bottling Investments operating segment, primarily as a result of management's view of the proceeds that are expected to be received for the remaining bottling territories upon their refranchising. These charges were determined by comparing the fair values of the assets to their carrying values. The Company also recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $52 million during the three and six months ended June 29, 2018 related to one of our equity method investees.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded charges of $653 million and $737 million, respectively, related to the impairment of CCR assets that are recorded in our Bottling Investments operating segment, primarily as a result of management's view of the proceeds that were expected to be received for the remaining North America bottling territories upon their refranchising. These charges were determined by comparing the fair values of the assets to their carrying values.
Productivity and Reinvestment
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded charges of $150 million and $245 million, respectively, related to our productivity and reinvestment initiatives. These charges included $39 million due to pension settlements. The Company also recorded charges of $87 million and $226 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. These productivity and reinvestment initiatives are focused on four key areas: restructuring the Company's global supply chain; implementing zero-based work, an evolution of zero-based budget principles across the organization; streamlining and simplifying the Company's operating model; and further driving increased discipline and efficiency in direct marketing investments. The savings realized from the program will enable the Company to fund marketing initiatives and innovation required to deliver sustainable net revenue growth. The savings will also support margin expansion and increased returns on invested capital over time.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(UNAUDITED)

Equity Investees
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded net charges of $33 million and $84 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net gain of $37 million and a net charge of $21 million, respectively. These amounts represent the Company’s proportionate share of significant operating and nonoperating items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.
Transaction Gains/Losses
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded charges of $34 million and $79 million, respectively, primarily related to costs incurred to refranchise certain of our North America bottling operations. The Company also recorded charges of $44 million and $104 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. These costs include, among other items, internal and external costs for individuals directly working on the refranchising efforts, severance, special termination benefits, and costs associated with the implementation of information technology systems to facilitate consistent data standards and availability throughout our bottling systems.
During the six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss of $33 million primarily related to the reversal of the cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the substantial liquidation of the Company's former Russian juice operations.
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded charges of $2 million and $21 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded charges of $109 million and $215 million, respectively. These charges were primarily related to payments made to certain of our unconsolidated bottling partners in North America in order to convert their bottling agreements to a comprehensive beverage agreement with additional requirements.
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded net charges of $102 million and $104 million, respectively, related to North America refranchising. These net charges were primarily related to post-closing adjustments as contemplated by the related agreements. The Company also recorded net charges of $214 million and $711 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. These net charges were primarily due to the derecognition of the intangible assets transferred or reclassified as held for sale as a result of the refranchising of certain bottling territories in North America. The net charges included a gain of $1,060 million recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the Southwest Transaction.
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded charges of $47 million due to pension settlements.
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded a net gain of $36 million due to the refranchising of our Latin American bottling operations.
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded charges of $3 million. The Company also recorded charges of $4 million and $6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. These charges were for noncapitalizable transaction costs associated with pending and closed transactions.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a charge of $26 million related to our former German bottling operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a gain of $445 million related to the integration of Coca-Cola West Co., Ltd. ("CCW") and Coca-Cola East Japan Co., Ltd. ("CCEJ") to establish Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc., now known as Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings Inc. ("CCBJHI"). In exchange for our previously existing equity interests in CCW and CCEJ, we received an approximate 17 percent equity interest in CCBJHI.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a $25 million gain as a result of Coca‑Cola FEMSA, an equity method investee, issuing additional shares of its stock at a per share amount greater than the carrying value of the Company's per share investment.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $9 million related to refranchising a substantial portion of our China bottling operations.

Economic (Nondesignated) Hedges
The Company uses derivatives as economic hedges primarily to mitigate the foreign exchange risk for certain currencies, price risk associated with the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing process as well as the purchase of vehicle fuel. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in fair values of these economic hedges are immediately recognized into earnings.
The Company excludes the net impact of mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding hedges and realized gains/losses for settled hedges from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying exposure being hedged impacts our condensed consolidated statement of income. We believe this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our economic hedging activities. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the net impact of the Company's adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in decreases of $22 million and $32 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the net impact of the Company's adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in increases of $34 million and $30 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes.
Other
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded a net gain of $36 million and a net loss of $49 million, respectively, related to realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01 was adopted effective January 1, 2018 and requires us to recognize any changes in the fair value of certain equity investments in net income. Prior to the adoption of this accounting standard, we recognized these changes in other comprehensive income ("OCI").
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded other charges of $22 million and $27 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded other charges of $21 million and $27 million, respectively. These charges were primarily related to tax litigation expense.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net charge of $38 million related to the early extinguishment of long-term debt.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded impairment charges of $14 million and $34 million, respectively, related to Venezuelan intangible assets as a result of weaker sales resulting from continued political instability. These charges were determined by comparing the fair values of the assets, derived using discounted cash flow analyses, to the respective carrying values.
Certain Tax Matters
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded $42 million of income tax benefit and $134 million of income tax expense, respectively, primarily as a result of adjustments to our provisional remeasurement of deferred taxes recorded as of December 31, 2017 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") signed into law on December 22, 2017. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company also recorded net tax charges of $8 million and $42 million, respectively, for changes to our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, as well as for agreed upon tax matters. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded $3 million and $87 million, respectively, of excess tax benefits associated with the Company's share‑based compensation arrangements.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $29 million and $82 million, respectively, of excess tax benefits associated with the Company's share-based compensation arrangements. The Company also recorded a net tax benefit of $11 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and a net tax charge of $12 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 for changes to our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, as well as the impact of the reversal of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(UNAUDITED)

2018 OUTLOOK
Our 2018 outlook for organic revenues, comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) and comparable EPS from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, and the impact of structural items and accounting changes, as applicable. The Company is not able to reconcile full year 2018 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported net revenues, full year 2018 projected comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported operating income, or full year 2018 projected comparable EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported EPS from continuing operations without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the exact timing and amount of acquisitions, divestitures and/or structural changes; the exact timing and amount of comparability items throughout 2018; and the actual impact of accounting changes. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on full year 2018 GAAP financial results.
