"With another strong quarter of double-digit earnings growth, we are demonstrating our ability to create shareowner value from the combined strengths of our brands and our global reach," said Neville Isdell, chairman and chief executive officer, The Coca-Cola Company. "By continuing to executetogether with our bottling partnersour clearly defined strategies, we see further attractive opportunities ahead for the long-term sustainable growth of our system.
"Once again, this strong performance was led by our international business. Emerging market growth, combined with sequential improvement in North America, resulted in our third consecutive quarter of 6 percent unit case volume growth. Global sparkling beverage volume growth remained robust at 4 percent, and still beverages increased 14 percent as we focused on the highest value opportunities around the world. As we enter the final quarter of the year, we will continue to leverage our leading brands and strategic acquisitions and build our innovation pipeline while driving productivity."
President and chief operating officer Muhtar Kent said, "World-class system execution continues to drive balanced growth across our global markets and portfolio of products, while providing consistency and sustainability in our business. In the quarter, performance in our Latin America, Africa, Eurasia and Pacific operating groups remained robust and solid results in Japan, India and the Philippines reflect our ability to restore sustainable growth to key markets.
"As expected, our European Union Group faced difficult comparables from a strong set of results in 2006. However, I am pleased with our ability to drive results across our portfolio of brands by utilizing innovations such as Coca-Cola Zero and trademark brands such as Minute Maid. I am also encouraged by the early signs of progress in North America. Importantly, these results reflect the mindset and actions of our people who share a relentless commitment to winning around the globe."

Financial Review
Operating Results
Net operating revenues for the quarter increased 19 percent, reflecting a 6 percent increase in concentrate sales, an 8 percent increase from structural changes resulting from acquisitions of certain bottlers, a 4 percent positive currency impact and a 1 percent favorable impact from pricing and mix.
Cost of goods sold increased 27 percent for the quarter, reflecting a 6 percent increase in concentrate sales, a 16 percent increase from structural changes resulting from acquisitions of certain bottlers and items impacting comparability, a 4 percent increase from currency and increases in commodity-based input and freight costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased 16 percent, reflecting a 6 percent increase from structural changes resulting from acquisitions of certain bottlers, a 4 percent increase from currency, increased costs in the consolidated bottling operations to drive growth and continued investments in marketing, while effectively managing overall costs through productivity initiatives.
The Company had other operating charges in the quarter of $81 million pre-tax primarily related to restructuring charges.

Operating income for the quarter increased 10 percent. After considering items impacting comparability, operating income increased 12 percent, reflecting the growth in gross profit, including the benefit of brand acquisitions, the investments in marketing and increased sales and service expenses in the bottling operations, while effectively managing general and administrative expenses through productivity initiatives. Currency increased operating income in the quarter by 3 percent. Based on current spot rates and the anticipated benefits of hedging coverage in place, the Company currently expects currency to have a mid single-digit favorable impact on operating income for the fourth quarter.
Equity income increased 24 percent in the quarter, reflecting solid performance from the bottling system throughout the world and tax benefits recorded at an equity investee, partially offset by asset write-downs and restructuring costs recorded by equity investees.
In the third quarter, the Company sold a portion of its ownership interest in Coca-Cola Amatil Limited, reducing its interest from 32 percent to 30 percent, and recorded a gain of $73 million pre-tax in Other Income.
Effective Tax Rate
The reported effective tax rate for the quarter was 21.7 percent. The rate was reduced primarily due to lowering the estimated full year underlying effective tax rate. The Company is required to record income tax expense for the first nine months of the year based on the estimated effective tax rate for the year. As discussed in the second quarter earnings release, the Company had previously estimated that its underlying effective tax rate on operations would be approximately 22.5 percent for the full year. The Company now anticipates that its underlying effective tax rate on operations for the full year 2007 will be approximately 22.0 percent. To bring the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 in line with the Company's currently estimated full year underlying effective tax rate, the Company recorded income tax expense at an underlying effective tax rate of approximately 21.0 percent in the third quarter. For 2008, the Company anticipates that its underlying effective tax rate on operations will be 22.0 to 22.5 percent. The Company's estimated underlying effective tax rate does not reflect the impact of significant or unusual items and discrete events, which, if and when they occur, are separately recognized in the appropriate period.
New Operating Structure
As previously announced, effective January 1, 2007, the Company made certain changes to its operating structure to align geographic responsibility. This new structure resulted in the reconfiguration of two operating segments which were renamed Eurasia Group and Pacific Group. The reconfiguration did not impact the other existing geographic operating segments, Bottling Investments or Corporate. Reclassified operating segment information can be found in the Company's Form 8-K filing dated April 2, 2007.
Items Impacting Prior Year Results
In 2006, the third quarter results included a charge primarily related to asset impairment and restructuring charges, offset by a benefit primarily related to the reversal of a tax valuation allowance. In 2006, the second quarter results included a net benefit of $0.04 per share primarily due to a gain from the sale of shares in the initial public offering of the Turkish bottler, Coca-Cola Icecek S.A. In 2006, the first quarter results included a net reduction of $0.02 per share primarily related to non-cash impairment charges of certain assets and investments in the bottling operations in Asia.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. See the Tables above for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. 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.
