Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Effective January 1, 2018, The Coca-Cola Company (the "Company") reclassified certain revenue streams and related cost of goods sold from the Company's Bottling Investments operating segment to its North America operating segment.
Additionally, as previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017–07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively, and therefore the Company reclassified the non–service cost components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost, along with certain other benefit plan charges and curtailment charges, from operating income to other income (loss) – net in our statements of income.
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a schedule of unaudited reclassified data reflecting the changes described above. The information in this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
