    dear ellow Sareowners:

    In 2011, I was honored to represent

    The CocaCola Company all over the world,

    in humble villages and great, bustling cities.

    Wherever I traveled, I spent time in stores,

    restaurants, shops and homesthe places

    where people buy and enjoy CocaCola. With

    every visit, I learned something new about ourbusiness: what we are doing well and what

    we canand mustdo even better.

    Again and again, as I listened to consumers,

    customers, bottling partners, associates and

    shareowners like you, one thought kept coming

    back to me: I wish all o you could see this

    business the way I do.

    That is quite a wish, I know. But, i you hadbeen with me this past year, you would have

    experienced so many exciting and memorable

    moments in our ongoing story.

    CocaCola turned 125 years young in 2011,

    and we celebrated by thanking all the people

    who, since 1886, have made CocaCola what

    it is today.

    Even ater three decades in our business,I was amazed and energized by the outpouring

    o aection or CocaCola. Had you been

    with me last May, as we turned our Atlanta

    headquarters building into an animated,

    26story thank you card, I am sure you would

    have elt something similar.

    Late in the year, we moved our secret ormula

    rom a nearby Atlanta bank to a new vault at

    the World o CocaCola. Again, the worldsattentionand aectionturned to CocaCola.

    The intense interest in our anniversary and

    secret ormula demonstrated the enduring

    power o our brands, which we continue

    to strengthen.

    In 2011, we ocused on realizing our

    2020 Visionan aggressive but achievable

    systemwide plan or growth launched at the

    outset o 2010. How did our eorts measure

    up against the 6 Ps o our 2020 Vision? Let us

    take a look at each one: Prot, People, Portolio,Partners, Planet and Productivity.

    1. Prot. In 2011, we built strong momentum

    toward our 2020 goal o doubling our business

    over the course o this decade. In act, across

    the rst two years o our 2020 Vision, we met

    or exceeded our longterm growth targets.

    In 2011, we increased sparkling volume

    4 percent and still volume 8 percent. All told, we

    sold 26.7 billion unit cases, earning $46.5 billionin revenues. We delivered nearly 1 billion unit

    A LETTER ROm OuR ChAIRmANANd ChIE ExECuTIvE OICER

    Around the world, our associates set us

    apart, rallying behind our 2020 Vision withocus and intensity.

    cases o incremental organic volume growth

    the equivalent o adding another market the

    size o Japan to our businessand increased

    operating income by $1.7 billion to $10.2 billion.

    We became a better competitor, gaining

    market share across the world in almost

    every nonalcoholic beverage category and

    increasing our total market share. Early in 2012,

    we announced our 50th consecutive annualdividend increase, raising our dividend

    8.5 percent.

    2. People. Around the world, our associates

    set us apart, rallying behind our 2020 Vision

    with ocus and intensity. This was as true in

    Ireland, Russia and the United States, where

    I helped open new plants, as it was when I

    visited with associates in China, Indonesia,

    Japan and a dozen other countries.

    At our headquarters, one associate selessly

    donated a kidney to another. In Texas, a

    technician on a service call rushed to the aid

    o a college student struck crossing the street,

    saving her lie. And a Venezuelan associate

    won fve medals at the 2011 Special Olympics

    World Games in Greece.

    Everywhere I went, I saw our people executingin the marketplace, delivering or our customers

    and achieving extraordinary things. In the wake

    o heartbreaking devastation in Japan and

    Thailand, our associates inspired us all with

    their strength, resilience and determination.

    3. Portfolio. CocaCola and our other brands

    occupy a unique place in the hearts o people

    worldwide, and we did not take that position

    or granted in 2011. Instead, we sought out newand better ways to enhance our ans aection

    or our brands.

    This eort took many orms, rom making sure

    we had compelling marketing and eective

    merchandising, to creating memorable moments

    o connection and un, to participating in

    inspiring events.

    For 2011, we ramped up our eorts to win with

    CocaCola, the oxygen o our business. Brand

    CocaCola grew more than 3 percent or the

    year, adding nearly 350 million incremental unit

    cases. We also invested in our 14 other billion

    dollar brands, including Minute Maid Pulpy,

    which grew 20 percent in 2011.

    And we introduced more consumers to

    the wonders o CocaCola Freestylethe

    innovative new ountain dispenser that

    delivers more than 125 branded beverage

    choices with less environmental impact thanour traditional legacy equipment.

    4. Partners. In 2011, our Company created

    tremendous economic value or those working

    with us to reresh a thirsty world. Along with our

    bottling partners, we became more integrated

    into the growth strategies o our more than

    20 million customers, helping them grow

    and prosper and create jobs.

    Working with our customers, we increased

    immediate consumption beverages by

    4 percent through enhanced instore activations

    and additional colddrink equipment. In Latin

    America, a new retail design initiative is helping

    small traditional retailers increase oot trafc

    and create more passion points in their stores.

    In the United States, innovations such as

    CocaCola Freestyle and our PlantBottle

    package helped generate greater sales and

    velocity or our partners.

    5. Planet. We believe frmly in the power o

    partnerships among the golden triangle

    o business, government and civil society

    organizations, and we have seen good

    progress being made across a number o

    water, packaging, energy efciency and

    community empowerment programs.

    One such unique environmental partnershipwas a bold initiative we launched in 2011 with

    World Wildlie Fund in North America. Our

    Arctic Home program was designed to help

    raise awareness about the plight o polar

    bears while providing unding to support

    conservation eorts.

    Another initiative that continued to gain traction

    last year was our bold and ambitious 5 BY 20

    commitment to enable the empowerment o5 million women entrepreneurs by 2020. By

    yearend 2012, we expect the program to reach

    CocaCola and our other brands occupya unique place in the hearts o peopleworldwide, and we did not take that positionor granted in 2011.

    300,000 women. One such person is Preeti

    Gupta, a mother o three who has a small store

    in her home in rural India. With a solarpowered

    cooler rom CocaCola, she can now provide

    cold beverages to her customers and keep her

    lights on at night, enabling her children to have

    more time to study.

    6. Productivity. In 2011, we successully

    completed a ouryear productivity program,realizing annualized savings o more than

    $500 million. Meanwhile, the integration o the

    North American operations o CocaCola

    Enterprises into our Company moved smoothly

    orward, opening up resh pathways to growth.

    For the uture, I am convinced that some o

    our most important business breakthroughs

    will come at the intersection o sustainability

    and innovation. Last year, or example, weexpanded our PlantBottle technology to more

    markets, increasing distribution o the up to

    30 percent plantbased packaging and

    protecting our longterm cost competitiveness.

    Looking ahead, we see vast opportunities

    or your Company. Across the more than

    200 countries we serve, our hardworking and

    passionate teams are engaged in creating

    value in every possible way. For our consumers.

    For our customers. For our communities. Andor you, our shareowners.

    We know our business can only be as strong

    and sustainable as the communities we serve,

    and we continue to support the economic

    recovery in the United States and around the

    globe. For 2012 and beyond, we will keep

    striving to act as a responsible corporate citizen.

    I also want you to know that I have never beenmore optimistic about CocaCola nor more

    proud o our people, who did a remarkable job,

    oten in challenging and difcult circumstances.

    Even so, we remain constructively discontent.

    We know this is a journey. In act, as we begin

    our next 125 years, we do so with a proound

    sense that we are just getting started.

    On behal o the incredibly hardworking 146,200

    women and men o The CocaCola Company,

    please accept my sincerest gratitude or your

    investment. We appreciate your trust andconfdence, we are dedicated to delivering

    on your behal, and we could not be more

    proudand humbledto have the opportunity.

    Thank you,

    Muhtar Kent

    Chairman o the Board o Directors

    and Chie Executive Ofcer

    For the uture, I am convinced thatsome o our most important businessbreakthroughs will come at the intersectiono sustainability and innovation.

    Innoation is in or dNA. It is part o both our

    heritage and our uture. We see innovation as

    understanding our consumers needs and

    nding new ways to satisy them, then investing

    aggressively to bring them to market.

    From packaging made partially rom plants, to the

    ountain o the uture, to our creative use o social

    media, our gamechanging innovations continued

    to receive high marks in 2011. Interbrand credited

    two o our recent breakthroughs with enhancing

    the value o CocaCola, which topped its list o the

    100 Best Global Brands or the 12th straight year.

    Coca-Cola reestyle has reinvented the ountain

    experience by giving consumers exciting new ways

    to experience our brands. Capable o producing

    more than 125 beverage choices, the sleek, more

    sustainable dispenser is now available in more

    than 80 U.S. markets and is expanding to severalinternational markets. It drives revenue and trac or

    our customers, providing us with valuable insights

    while also reducing our environmental impact.

    A second innovation, PlantBottle packaging,
