Comparison of Total Stockholder Return
The following performance graph compares our cumulative total returns with the cumulative total returns of the Standard &
Poor's 500 and a peer group index. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on May 7, 2008, the day we became a publicly
traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, with dividends reinvested.
Comparison of Total Returns
Assumes Initial Investment of $100
December 2011
The Peer Group Index consists of the following companies: The Coca-Cola Company ("Coca-Cola"), PepsiCo, Inc.
("PepsiCo"), Monster Beverage Corporation (formerly Hansen Natural Corporation), The Cott Corporation, Jones Soda Co., and
National Beverage Corporation. We believe that these companies help to convey an accurate comparison of our performance with
the industry.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following table presents selected historical financial data as of December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007. All the
selected historical financial data has been derived from our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and is stated in millions
of dollars except for per share information.
For periods prior to May 7, 2008, our financial data has been prepared on a "carve-out" basis from the consolidated financial
statements of Cadbury Schweppes plc ("Cadbury") using the historical results of operations, assets and liabilities attributable to
Cadbury’s Americas Beverages business and including allocations of expenses from Cadbury. The historical Cadbury's Americas
Beverages information is our predecessor financial information. The results included below and elsewhere in this document are
not necessarily indicative of our future performance and do not reflect our financial performance had we been an independent,
publicly-traded company during the periods prior to May 7, 2008.
