    Da Fllow Saowns,

    Sharing a Coke and sharing the value

    created by CocaCola have been at the

    heart o our story or nearly 127 years.

    In act, our legendary chairman Robert

    Woodru believed everyone who touched our

    business should benetrom shareownerslike you to our bottling partners, customers,

    consumers, associates, suppliers, distributors,

    other stakeholders and the communities

    we proudly serve.

    Together with you and partners across

    more than 200 countries, we continued

    this tradition in 2012.

    For me, one o last years most meaningulmoments o shared value came during a

    September visit to Myanmar, also known

    as Burma, where positive political changes

    allowed CocaCola to return ater a

    60year absence.

    I was deeply honored to deliver the rst

    cases to our new customers in Yangon

    and meet with leaders, shop owners and

    other citizens. And what I remember mostwere their acesshining and hopeul, with

    a special spark in their eyes.

    For the people o Myanmar, this was more

    than the return o a delicious, rereshing

    beverage. To them, CocaCola embodies

    the bright promise o better days and better

    lives ahead. And we look orward to being

    part o their journey.

    There were many other highlights, as we

    successully completed the third year o

    our 2020 Vision to double the size o our

    businessand the value we create

    during this decade. How did we do?

    Lets take a look at the 6 Ps o our vision:

    Prot, People, Portolio, Partners, Planet

    and Productivity.

    1. Pot. Despite lingering economic

    headwinds, we achieved strong, balanced

    results in 2012, meeting or exceeding our

    longterm volume, revenue and prot

    targets as we did in both previous years

    o our 2020 Vision.

    In 2012, we incasdvolum by 4 pcnt,

    with our sparkling beverages growing a

    healthy 3 percent and our still portolio

    up 10 percent. In addition, we generated

    cod nt opating vnus o mo

    tan $48 billion and opating incom

    o naly $11 billion.

    We also split ou stock o t st tim

    in 16 yas. In early 2013, we announced

    plans to increase our dividend or the

    51st consecutive year. All told, between

    dividends and share repurchases, we

    returned $9.1 billion to shareowners like

    you in 2012.

    Over the rst three years o our 2020 Vision,

    weve incasd daily svings by mo

    $302. Popl. The men and women o the

    CocaCola system inspired me in 2012

    with their cando spirit and unwavering

    commitment to excellence. This was

    true when I helped open new plants in

    Cil and Cinaandvisitd collagus

    in mo tan 25 countis, including

    Bazil, Fanc, India, Japan, Knya, Mico,

    Swdn, Tailand and Vitnam.

    With our team in Great Britain leading

    the way, our people executed our most

    successul Olympics activation across

    100plus countriesconnecting with our

    ans, celebrating the importance o active

    healthy liestyles and inspiring people to

    Move to the Beat o London 2012.

    CocaCola people made a dierence in our

    communities, too, volunteering to support

    worthy causes like the Special Olympics

    and International Coastal Cleanup Day. They

    also reached out to help others in the wake

    o devastating natural disasters, rom terrible

    ooding in Pakistan to Hurricane Sandys

    battering o the U.S. East Coast.

    And our people helped CocaCola win

    many honors, rom topping Intbands

    Bst Global Bands list or more than

    12 consecutive years to winning 30 awads

    at t Canns Lions Intnational Fstival

    o Cativityto acing numb ou on

    FORTUNEs Most Admid Companis

    list. Early in 2013, Fast Companynamed

    CocaCola one o the wolds most

    innovativ companis.

    3. Potolio. In 2012, we made the most

    o our portolio o more than 500 brands,

    starting with our agship beverage. Brand

    CocaCola grew a healthy 3 percentnearly

    300 million unit cases. Thats like adding

    the brand CocaCola volume o another

    Germany or two Russias.

    Studying all the opportunitiescountryby country and category by category

    w intoducd 500plus nw poducts in

    2012, including mo tan 100 low and

    nocaloi coics, and made several

    targeted portolio investments. For example,

    we took an ownership stake in the maker

    o Core Power protein drinks in the United

    States. And we partnered with Aujan,

    acquiring roughly hal o this industry

    leader in the Middle East with strong juice,

    sparkling and malt beverage brands.

    We welcomed two new billiondollar brands

    I LOHAS bottled water and Ayataka premium

    green tea. We now have 16 such brands,

    with more to come.

    4. Patns. We proudly serve more than

    23 million tail customs ac wk,

    helping them sell more beverages, generate

    more trafc and revenue, and provide or

    their employees and communities.

    Were always pushing ourselves to create

    even greater value or all our customers,

    rom individual vendors to traditional retailers

    to large stores. One way we did so in 2012

    was by helping our customers increase

    immediate consumption sales by 5 percent,

    the astest rate in over a decade.

    With our customers, we also continued to roll

    out our revolutionary CocaCola Fstyl

    ountain dispns, which is now delighting

    consumers in 47 U.S. stats and tst

    makts in London, Tokyo and Toonto

    with more than 100 bvag options.

    5. Plant. In 2012, the CocaCola system

    replenished 52 percent o the water usedin making our nished beverages, with

    468 community water projects helping us

    reach the halway point in achieving our

    goal o water neutrality by 2020.

    We also introduced an exciting new

    partnership with our riend and partner

    Dean Kamen, who has invented a

    breakthrough purication system or

    communities in need o sae drinking water.

    Ater successul tests in 2012, we plan to bring

    this technology to communities in South Arica

    and two Latin American countries in 2013.

    In packaging and recycling, we sold 7 billion

    PlantBottle packages in 2012, reducing

    our petroleum use with a recyclable plastic

    bottle up to 30 percent made rom plants.

    And we launched EKOCYCLEa cutting

    edge line o recycled goodswith musician

    and riend will.i.am, making recycling

    even cooler.

    With our partners, we used our supplychain

    expertise to impov t distibution o

    citical mdicins in Tanzania, w

    ou 5by20 initiativ om ou countis

    to 12: Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Egypt,

    Haiti, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, the

    Philippines, South Arica and Thailand.

    6. Poductivity. In 2012, we announced

    a nw oganizational stuctu o

    t opating businsss: CocaCola

    Amicas, CocaCola Intnational

    and Bottling Invstmnts Goup. Made

    ofcial on January 1, 2013, this organization

    again demonstrates our commitment to

    continuous improvement.

    We also launched a productivity and

    reinvestment program to create $550 million

    to $650 million in annual savings by 2015.

    By reeing up resources via supplychain

    optimization, improved marketing

    eectiveness, operational excellence

    and systems standardization, we can

    invest more in innovation, marketing

    and additional eet on the street to

    drive our growth.

    Meanwhile, our global bottling systm is

    alti tan v. Some o our bottling

    partners are joining together to become

    even more efcient and responsive

    to market needs. In 2012, bottlerled

    consolidations were announced in Brazil,

    Japan and Spain. And CocaCola FEMSA,

    a longtime leader in Latin America,

    took over our bottling operations in

    the Philippines in early 2013.

    Beore I close, I want to mention a compl

    socital issu tat toucs us all: obsity.

    In 2012, The CocaCola Company took

    new steps to give consumers even more

    choice in package sizes, sweeteners

    and beveragesincluding more than

    800 low and nocalorie selectionswhilealso providing clear nutrition inormation

    and supporting tness programs.

    Truth is, CocaCola has a rich heritage o

    being associated with exercise, sports and

    active liestyles. Today, w using ou

    makting ptis and community

    connctions to ducat consums on

    ngy balanc and inspi mo popl to

    gt moving. We rmly believe the challengeso obesity are solvable, and were committed

    to being part o the solution.

    I want you to know just how privileged I eel

    to lead this wonderul business o providing

    simple moments o pleasure and rereshment

    or cents at a time more than 1.8 billion times

    a day. What could possibly be better?

    And each time someone opens an icecold

    Coke, a couple shares a Sprite at the

    movies, an athlete reaches or a Powerade

    Zero or a parent picks up a bottle o Minute

    Maid, value is created. Not only or our

    Company but or the company we keep

    in communities worldwide.

    Looking back on 2012, Im proud o all we

    achieved alongside our customers, bottlers

    and other partners. Even so, were not

    satised. We remain constructively discontent

    as we seek to make the most o the vast

    growth opportunities we continue to see

    around the globe.

    Thank you or your investment in

    The CocaCola Company. Please know

    that we are working, every day, to make

    you proud as we reresh the world, inspire

    moments o optimism and happiness,

    create value and make a dierence.

    We strive to create moments o

    happiness through emotional

    stories that connect with people

    in authentic ways. Today we are

    deepening our connections with

    consumersand turning brand

    loyalists into brand advocates.

    With social media at the heart

    o our strategy, we continue tocreate shareworthy content

    and experiences that travel rom

    medium to medium, sparking

    conversation and interaction.

    Our 2012 global marketing agenda

    was anchored by the Mov to t

    Bat campaign or the London 2012Olympic Games, which used music

    and sport with producer Mark

    Ronson and ve Olympic hopeuls.

    Mobile played a pivotal role in the

    program, connecting teens in more

    than 100 countries to compelling

    content through a smartphone app,

    mobile website and our rst centrally

    coordinated text message program

    targeting emerging markets.

    Our marketing evolved in 2012

    to not only open happiness but

    to provoke it through creative

    executions such as the award

    winning Sa a Cok program in

    Australia and viral video sensations

    like Scuity Camas Latin

    America, hug M Macin

    Singapore, CocaCola Pola Bowl

    U.S. and CocaCola Zo: Unlock

    t 007 in You Great Britain.

    We also continued to afrm our

    cultural leadership through platorms

    such as Cok Studio, bringing

    together artists rom various genres

    to create and perorm usion music.

    The innovative Coke Studio concept,

    created in Brazil and later adapted
