Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s bottling operations in the Philippines, Bangladesh and certain territories in India met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As a result, we were required to record the related assets and liabilities at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. As the fair values less any costs to sell exceeded the carrying values, the related assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying values. These assets and liabilities were included in the Bottling Investments operating segment.
The Company refranchised its bottling operations in certain territories in India in January and February of 2024, for which we received net cash proceeds of $476 million and recognized a net gain of $290 million, including the impact of post-closing adjustments. The Company refranchised its bottling operations in Bangladesh to Coca-Cola İçecek A.Ş. (“CCI”), an equity method investee, in February 2024, for which we received net cash proceeds of $27 million and a note receivable of $29 million and recognized a net loss of $18 million, primarily due to the related reversal of cumulative translation adjustments. Additionally, in February 2024, the Company refranchised its bottling operations in the Philippines to CCEP and a local business partner, for which we received net cash proceeds of $1,656 million and recognized a net gain of $599 million. These gains and losses were recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our consolidated statement of income.
