Global or regional catastrophic events could impact our operations and financial results.
Because of our global presence and worldwide operations, our business can be affected by large-scale
terrorist acts, especially those directed against the United States or other major industrialized countries; the
outbreak or escalation of armed hostilities; major natural disasters; or widespread outbreaks of infectious
diseases such as avian influenza or severe acute respiratory syndrome (generally known as SARS). Such events
could impair our ability to manage our business around the world, could disrupt our supply of raw materials, and
could impact production, transportation and delivery of concentrates, syrups and finished products. In addition,
such events could cause disruption of regional or global economic activity, which can affect consumers’
purchasing power in the affected areas and, therefore, reduce demand for our products.
