The decrease in 2012 was primarily related to the Company's consolidated Philippine and Brazilian bottling operations being transferred to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2012. This decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of the Sacramento bottler in 2012 and the finalization of purchase accounting related to our 2011 acquisition of Great Plains. Refer to Note 2 for additional information related to each of these transactions.

The distribution rights acquired from DPS are the only significant indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to renewal or extension arrangements. Refer to Note 2.
