This excerpt taken from the PBG 8-K filed Feb 2, 2010. Mark-to-Market Net Impact The Company’s corporate headquarters centrally manages commodity derivatives on behalf of our segments. During 2009, we expanded our hedging program to mitigate price changes associated with certain commodities utilized in our production process. These derivatives hedge the underlying price risk associated with the commodity and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Certain commodity derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Others receive hedge accounting treatment but may have some element of ineffectiveness based on the accounting standard. These commodity derivatives are marked-to-market each period until settlement, resulting in gains and losses being reflected in corporate headquarters’ results. The gains and losses are subsequently reflected in the segment results when the underlying commodity’s cost is recognized. Therefore, segment results reflect the contract purchase price of these commodities. During 2009, the Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $12 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to these commodity derivatives. The Company did not have any comparable activity in prior years. This excerpt taken from the PBG 8-K filed Oct 6, 2009.
