1 Includes a decrease in net assets of $2,382 million resulting from foreign currency translation adjustments in various balance sheet accounts.
The table above includes the impact of the following transactions and events:
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities increased $1,407 million, or 7 percent, as a
combined group. This increase reflects the Company’s overall cash management strategy. A majority of the Company’s
consolidated cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities are held by foreign subsidiaries.
Trade accounts receivable — net decreased $407 million, or 8 percent, primarily due to the write-down of concentrate sales
receivables from our bottling partner in Venezuela.
Assets held for sale increased $679 million and liabilities held for sale increased $58 million due primarily to certain North
American territories, our South African bottling operations and related investments, and the assets held by the Company’s
global energy drink business being classified as held for sale. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information on these transactions.
