⁽¹⁾

The Senior Notes due 2019 were issued at 98.238% of par and the Senior Notes due 2025 were issued at 99.975% of par.

The Company had capital lease obligations of $45.0 million on July 2, 2017 and $48.7 million on January 1, 2017. The Company mitigates its financing risk by using multiple financial institutions and only entering into credit arrangements with institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The Company monitors counterparty credit ratings on an ongoing basis.

On February 27, 2017, the Company sold $125 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2023 to PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”) and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated June 10, 2016 between the Company, Prudential and the other parties thereto (the “Private Shelf Facility”). These notes bear interest at 3.28%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, and will mature on February 27, 2023 unless earlier redeemed by the Company. The Company may request Prudential to consider the purchase of additional senior unsecured notes of the Company under the facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $175 million.

In October 2014, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and in April 2015, the Company exercised an accordion feature which established a $450 million aggregate maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility. The $450 million borrowing capacity includes up to $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. At the Company’s current credit ratings, the Company must pay an annual facility fee of 0.15% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 16, 2019.

In June 2016, the Company entered into a five-year term loan agreement for a senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million, maturing June 7, 2021. The Company may request additional term loans under the agreement, provided the Company’s aggregate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility do not exceed $500 million. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, dependent on the Company’s credit rating, at the Company’s option.

The Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Private Shelf Facility include two financial covenants: a consolidated cash flow/fixed charges ratio and a consolidated funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio, each as defined in the respective agreements. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of July 2, 2017.

The indentures under which the Company’s public debt was issued do not include financial covenants but do limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as the indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.

All outstanding long-term debt has been issued by the Company and none has been issued by any of its subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt.

Derivative Financial Instruments

10.Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is subject to the risk of increased costs arising from adverse changes in certain commodity prices. In the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as “economic hedges” to manage certain commodity price risk. Derivative instruments held are marked to market on a monthly basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. Settlements of derivative agreements are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the Company would be exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these parties.

The following table summarizes pre-tax changes in the fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative financial instruments and the classification of such changes in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

		Second Quarter					First Half

Total gain (loss)		$	(1,187	)	$	2,770	$	(860	)	$	3,810

The following table summarizes the fair values and classification in the consolidated condensed balance sheets of derivative instruments held by the Company:

(in thousands)	Balance Sheet Classification	July 2, 2017		January 1, 2017
Assets:
Commodity hedges at fair market value	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	718	$	1,289
Total assets		$	718	$	1,289

Liabilities:
Commodity hedges at fair market value	Other accrued liabilities	$	287	$	-
Total liabilities		$	287	$	-

The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions. Accordingly, the net amounts of derivative assets are recognized in either prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets and the net amounts of derivative liabilities are recognized in other accrued liabilities or other liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The following table summarizes the Company’s gross derivative assets and gross derivative liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets:

(in thousands)	July 2, 2017		January 1, 2017
Gross derivative assets	$	932	$	1,297

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

11.Fair Values of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

•

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its financial instruments. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels in any period presented.

Financial Instrument	Fair Value Level	Method and Assumptions
Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities	Level 1	The fair values of the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees has associated assets and liabilities, which are held in mutual funds and are based on the quoted market value of the securities held within the mutual funds.
Commodity hedging agreements	Level 2	The fair values for the Company’s commodity hedging agreements are based on current settlement values at each balance sheet date. The fair values of the commodity hedging agreements at each balance sheet date represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received or paid upon termination of these agreements. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is managed by requiring high standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company considers nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments.
Non-public variable rate debt	Level 2	The carrying amounts of the Company’s variable rate borrowings approximate their fair values due to variable interest rates with short reset periods.
Non-public fixed rate debt	Level 2	The fair values of the Company’s fixed rate non-public debt are based on estimated current market prices.
Public debt securities	Level 2	The fair values of the Company’s public debt securities are based on estimated current market prices.
Acquisition related contingent consideration	Level 3	The fair values of acquisition related contingent consideration are based on internal forecasts and the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) derived from market data.

The following tables summarize, by assets and liabilities, the carrying amounts and fair values by level of the Company’s deferred compensation plan, commodity hedging agreements, debt and acquisition related contingent consideration:

Under the Final CBA, the Company will make a quarterly sub-bottling payment to CCR on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell specified covered beverages and beverage products in the Expansion Territories. This acquisition related contingent consideration is valued using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model based on internal forecasts and the WACC derived from market data, which are considered Level 3 inputs. Each reporting period, the Company adjusts its acquisition related contingent consideration liability related to the Expansion Territories to fair value by discounting future expected sub-bottling payments required under the Final CBA using the Company’s estimated WACC. These future expected sub-bottling payments extend through the life of the related distribution assets acquired in each Expansion Territory, which is generally 40 years. As a result, the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability is impacted by the Company’s WACC, management’s estimate of the amounts that will be paid in the future under the Final CBA, and current sub-bottling payments (all Level 3 inputs). Changes in any of these Level 3 inputs, particularly the underlying risk-free interest rate used to estimate the Company’s WACC, could result in material changes to the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration and could materially impact the amount of noncash expense (or income) recorded each reporting period.

The acquisition related contingent consideration is the Company’s only Level 3 asset or liability. A reconciliation of the Level 3 activity is as follows:

	Second Quarter						First Half
(in thousands)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Opening balance - Level 3 liability	$	303,952		$	177,933		$	253,437		$	136,570
Increase due to acquisitions		3,770			36,868			46,086			68,039
Payments/current payables		(4,739	)		(2,307	)		(8,786	)		(9,266	)
Unfavorable fair value adjustment		16,119			16,274			28,365			33,425
Ending balance - Level 3 liability	$	319,102		$	228,768		$	319,102		$	228,768

The fair value adjustment to the contingent consideration liability during the second quarter of 2017 was primarily driven by a change in the risk-free interest rate. The fair value adjustment to the contingent consideration liability during the first half of 2017 was primarily a result of a change in the risk-free interest rate and the final settlement of territory values for the Paducah and Pikeville, Kentucky Expansion Territory acquisitions and the Norfolk, Fredericksburg and Staunton, Virginia, and Elizabeth City, North Carolina Expansion Territory acquisitions, which closed in May 2015 and October 2015, respectively.

The fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration liability during the second quarter and first half of 2016 were primarily driven by a change in the projected future operating results of the Expansion Territories subject to sub-bottling fees. These adjustments were recorded in other expense, net on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Pursuant to a territory conversion agreement entered into by the Company, The Coca‑Cola Company and CCR in September 2015 (as amended), upon the conversion of the Company’s bottling agreements to the Final CBA on March 31, 2017, the Company received a one-time fee from CCR, which was subject to a final adjustment. During the second quarter of 2017, the fee was finalized and increased by $4.4 million, for a total of $91.5 million. The total fee was recorded as a deferred liability and will be amortized as a reduction to cost of sales over a period of 40 years. On July 2, 2017, $2.3 million of this fee was recorded in accrued liabilities, $88.6 million of this fee was recorded to other liabilities and $0.6 million was amortized on the consolidated condensed financial statements.

Manufacturing Cooperatives

The Company is a shareholder of South Atlantic Canners, Inc. (“SAC”), a manufacturing cooperative in Bishopville, South Carolina. All eight shareholders of SAC are Coca‑Cola bottlers and each has equal voting rights. The Company receives a fee for managing the day-to-day operations of SAC pursuant to a management agreement. Proceeds from management fees received from SAC were $4.6 million in both the first half of 2017 and the first half of 2016.

The Company is obligated to purchase 17.5 million cases of finished product from SAC on an annual basis through June 2024. The Company purchased 15.0 million cases and 15.1 million cases of finished product from SAC in the first half of 2017 and the first half of 2016, respectively.

The Company is also a shareholder of Southeastern Container (“Southeastern”), a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative from which it is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories.

The following table summarizes the Company’s purchases from these manufacturing cooperatives:

	Second Quarter				First Half
(in thousands)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Purchases from SAC	$	40,507	$	42,510	$	74,141	$	75,732
Purchases from Southeastern		27,621		20,341		50,957		37,309
Total purchases from manufacturing cooperatives	$	68,128	$	62,851	$	125,098	$	113,041

The Company guarantees a portion of SAC’s and Southeastern’s debt, which resulted primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities and expires at various dates through 2023. The amounts guaranteed were as follows:

(in thousands)	July 2, 2017		January 1, 2017
Guaranteed portion of debt - SAC	$	23,938	$	23,297
Guaranteed portion of debt - Southeastern		9,510		9,277
Total guaranteed portion of debt - manufacturing cooperatives	$	33,448	$	32,574

In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the level of the guarantees. The following table summarizes the Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees if these cooperatives had borrowed up to their aggregate borrowing capacity:

	July 2, 2017
(in thousands)	South Atlantic Canners, Inc.		Southeastern Container		Total Manufacturing Cooperatives
Maximum guaranteed debt	$	23,938	$	25,251	$	49,189
Equity investments⁽¹⁾		7,327		17,768		25,095
Maximum total exposure, including equity investments	$	31,265	$	43,019	$	74,284

⁽¹⁾

Recorded in other assets on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca‑Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill its commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust selling prices of its products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Company’s guarantees.

The Company holds no assets as collateral against the SAC or Southeastern guarantees, the fair value of which is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company monitors its investments in SAC and Southeastern and would be required to write down its investment if an impairment was identified and the Company determined it to be other than temporary. No impairment of the Company’s investments in SAC or Southeastern has been identified as of July 2, 2017, and there was no impairment identified in 2016.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. These letters of credit totaled $35.6 million on July 2, 2017 and $29.7 million on January 1, 2017.

The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige properties, athletic venues and other locations. As of July 2, 2017, the future payments related to these contractual arrangements, which expire at various dates through 2030, amounted to $126.3 million.

The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings.

The Company is subject to audits by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any assessments likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different than the amounts recorded in the consolidated condensed financial statements.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jul. 02, 2017
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	14.Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes, was 1.6% for the first half of 2017 and 40.1% for the first half of 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by lower income before income taxes as compared to the recorded noncontrolling interest and a reduction in the valuation allowance resulting from the Company’s assessment of its ability to use certain loss carryforwards. The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes minus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, was 3.9% for the first half of 2017 and 49.8% for the first half of 2016. The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $3.0 million on July 2, 2017 and $2.9 million on January 1, 2017, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect such change would have a significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements. Prior tax years beginning in year 2002 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 1998 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions due to loss carryforwards.

16.Capital Transactions

During the first quarter of each year, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determines whether any shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock should be issued to J. Frank Harrison, III, in connection with his services for the prior year as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to a performance unit award agreement approved in 2008 (the “Performance Unit Award Agreement”). As permitted under the terms of the Performance Unit Award Agreement, a number of shares were settled in cash in 2017 and 2016 to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the performance units. The remaining number of shares increased the total shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. A summary of the awards issued in 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

	Fiscal Year

Pension Plans

There are two Company-sponsored pension plans. The primary Company-sponsored pension plan (the “Primary Plan”) was frozen on June 30, 2006 and no benefits accrued to participants after this date. The second Company-sponsored pension plan (the “Bargaining Plan”) is for certain employees under collective bargaining agreements. Benefits under the Bargaining Plan are determined in accordance with negotiated formulas for the respective participants. Contributions to the plans are based on actuarial determined amounts and are limited to the amounts currently deductible for income tax purposes.

The components of net periodic pension cost were as follows:

	Second Quarter						First Half
(in thousands)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Service cost	$	150		$	29		$	300		$	57
Interest cost		2,979			3,031			5,958			6,062
Expected return on plan assets		(3,399	)		(3,457	)		(6,798	)		(6,915	)
Recognized net actuarial loss		807			740			1,614			1,481
Amortization of prior service cost		7			7			14			14
Net periodic pension cost	$	544		$	350		$	1,088		$	699

The Company did not make any contributions to the Company-sponsored pension plans during the first half of 2017. Anticipated contributions to the two Company-sponsored pension plans will be in the range of $10 to $12 million for the remainder of 2017.

Postretirement Benefits

The Company provides postretirement benefits for a portion of its current employees. The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist principally of medical benefits, during covered employees’ periods of active service. The Company does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate certain of these benefits in the future.

The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost were as follows:

	Second Quarter						First Half
(in thousands)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Service cost	$	572		$	350		$	1,144		$	700
Interest cost		911			777			1,822			1,555
Recognized net actuarial loss		648			588			1,296			1,175
Amortization of prior service cost		(746	)		(840	)		(1,492	)		(1,680	)
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost	$	1,385		$	875		$	2,770		$	1,750

Multi-Employer Benefits

Certain employees of the Company whose employment is covered under collective bargaining agreements participate in a multi-employer pension plan, the Employers-Teamsters Local Union Nos. 175 and 505 Pension Fund (the “Teamsters Plan”). The Company makes monthly contributions to the Teamsters Plan on behalf of such employees. Certain collective bargaining agreements covering the Teamsters Plan expired on April 29, 2017. These agreements were renewed and will now expire in April 2020. The remainder of these agreements will expire July 26, 2018.

The risks of participating in the Teamsters Plan are different from single-employer plans as contributed assets are pooled and may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. If a participating employer stops contributing to the Teamsters Plan, the unfunded obligations of the Teamsters Plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. If the Company chooses to stop participating in the Teamsters Plan, the Company could be required to pay the Teamsters Plan a withdrawal liability based on the underfunded status of the Teamsters Plan. The Company does not anticipate withdrawing from the Teamsters Plan.

In 2015, the Company increased its contribution rates to the Teamsters Plan, with additional increases occurring annually, as part of a rehabilitation plan, which was incorporated into the renewal of collective bargaining agreements with the unions effective April 28, 2014 and adopted by the Company as a rehabilitation plan effective January 1, 2015. This is a result of the Teamsters Plan being certified by its actuary as being in “critical” status for the plan year beginning January 1, 2013.

Under the Final CBA, the Company makes a quarterly sub-bottling payment to CCR on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell the authorized brands of The Coca‑Cola Company and related products in the Expansion Territories. The quarterly sub-bottling payment is based on gross profit derived from sales of certain beverages and beverage products that are sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, beverage product or certain cross-licensed brands. The liability recorded by the Company to reflect the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to future sub-bottling payments was $319.1 million on July 2, 2017 and $253.4 million on January 1, 2017.

Along with all other Coca‑Cola bottlers in the United States, including CCR, the Company is a member of CCBSS, a company formed in 2003 for the purpose of facilitating various procurement functions and distributing certain specified beverage products of The Coca‑Cola Company with the intention of enhancing the efficiency and competitiveness of the Coca‑Cola bottling system in the United States.

CCBSS negotiates the procurement for the majority of the Company’s raw materials, excluding concentrate, and the Company receives a rebate from CCBSS for the purchase of these raw materials. The Company had rebates due from CCBSS of $13.3 million on July 2, 2017 and $7.4 million on January 1, 2017.

In addition, the Company pays an administrative fee to CCBSS for its services. The Company incurred administrative fees to CCBSS of $1.1 million in the first half of 2017 and $0.5 million in the first half of 2016.

National Product Supply Group Governance Agreement (“NPSG Governance Agreement”)

The NPSG Governance Agreement was executed in October 2015 by The Coca‑Cola Company and three other Coca‑Cola bottlers, including CCR, who are Regional Producing Bottlers (“RPBs”) in The Coca‑Cola Company’s national product supply system. Pursuant to the NPSG Governance Agreement, The Coca‑Cola Company and the RPBs have formed a national product supply group (the “NPSG”) and agreed to certain binding governance mechanisms, including a governing board (the “NPSG Board”) comprised of a representative of (i) the Company, (ii) The Coca‑Cola Company and (iii) each other RPB. As The Coca‑Cola Company continues its multi-year refranchising effort of its North American bottling territories, additional RPBs may be added to the NPSG Board. As of July 2, 2017, the NPSG Board consisted of The Coca‑Cola‑Company, the Company and six other RPBs, including CCR.

The stated objectives of the NPSG include, among others, (i) Coca‑Cola system strategic infrastructure investment and divestment planning; (ii) network optimization of all plant to distribution center sourcing; and (iii) new product/packaging infrastructure planning. The NPSG Board makes and/or oversees and directs certain key decisions regarding the NPSG, including decisions regarding the management and staffing of the NPSG and the funding for its ongoing operations.

The Company is obligated to pay a certain portion of the costs of operating the NPSG. The Company incurred NPSG operating costs of $0.5 million in the first half of 2017 and $0.2 million in the first half of 2016. Pursuant to the decisions of the NPSG Board made from time to time and subject to the terms and conditions of the NPSG Governance Agreement, the Company and each other Regional Producing Bottler will make investments in their respective manufacturing assets and will implement Coca‑Cola system strategic investment opportunities consistent with the NPSG Governance Agreement.

CONA Services LLC (“CONA”)

The Company is a member of CONA, an entity formed with The Coca‑Cola Company and certain Coca‑Cola bottlers to provide business process and information technology services to its members. Under the CONA limited liability agreement executed January 27, 2016 (as amended or restated from time to time, the “CONA LLC Agreement”), the Company and other members of CONA are required to make capital contributions to CONA if and when approved by CONA’s board of directors, which is comprised of representatives of the members. The Company currently has the right to designate one of the members of CONA’s board of directors and has a percentage interest in CONA of approximately 19%. The Company made capital contributions to CONA of $1.0 million during the first half of 2017 and $6.6 million during the first half of 2016.

The Company is subject to a Master Services Agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) with CONA, pursuant to which CONA agreed to make available, and the Company became authorized to use, the Coke One North America system (the “CONA System”), a uniform information technology system developed to promote operational efficiency and uniformity among North American Coca‑Cola bottlers. As part of making the CONA System available to the Company, CONA provides certain business process and information technology services to the Company, including the planning, development, management and operation of the CONA System in connection with the Company’s direct store delivery of products (collectively, the “CONA Services”).

Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, CONA agreed to make available, and authorized the Company to use, the CONA System in connection with the distribution, sale, marketing and promotion of nonalcoholic beverages the Company is authorized to distribute under the Final CBA or any other agreement with The Coca‑Cola Company (the “Beverages”) in the territories the Company serves (the “Territories”), subject to the provisions of the CONA LLC Agreement and any licenses or other agreements relating to products or services provided by third-parties and used in connection with the CONA System.

In exchange for the Company’s right to use the CONA System and right to receive the CONA Services under the Master Services Agreement, the Company is charged quarterly service fees by CONA based on the number of physical cases of Beverages distributed by the Company during the applicable period in the Territories where the CONA Services have been implemented (the “Service Fees”). Upon the earlier of (i) all members of CONA beginning to use the CONA System in all territories in which they distribute products of The Coca‑Cola Company (excluding certain territories of CCR that are expected to be sold to bottlers that are neither members of CONA nor users of the CONA System), or (ii) December 31, 2018, the Service Fees will be changed to be an amount per physical case of Beverages distributed in any portion of the Territories equal to the aggregate costs incurred by CONA to maintain and operate the CONA System and provide the CONA Services divided by the total number of cases distributed by all of the members of CONA, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is obligated to pay the Service Fees under the Master Services Agreement even if it is not using the CONA System for all or any portion of its operations in the Territories. The Company incurred CONA Services Fees of $5.6 million during the first half of 2017 and $3.2 million during the first half of 2016.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

21.Segments

The Company evaluates segment reporting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, each reporting period, including evaluating the reporting package reviewed by the Chief Operation Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company has concluded the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as a group, represent the CODM.

The Company believes four operating segments exist. Nonalcoholic Beverages represents the vast majority of the Company’s consolidated revenues, operating income, and assets. The remaining three operating segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting, either individually or in the aggregate, and therefore have been combined into an “All Other” reportable segment.

The Company’s results for its two reportable segments are as follows:

	Second Quarter						First Half
(in thousands)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Net sales:
Nonalcoholic Beverages	$	1,108,175		$	817,880		$	1,940,570		$	1,424,808

Eliminations⁽¹⁾		(5,036	)		(5,585	)
Consolidated total assets	$	2,891,441		$	2,449,484

⁽¹⁾

The entire net sales elimination for each period presented represents net sales from the All Other segment to the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. Sales between these segments are either recognized at fair market value or cost depending on the nature of the transaction. Asset eliminations relate to eliminations of intercompany receivables and payables between the Nonalcoholic Beverages and All Other segments.

Net sales by product category were as follows:

	Second Quarter				First Half
(in thousands)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Bottle/can sales⁽¹⁾:
Sparkling beverages (carbonated)	$	607,623	$	464,859	$	1,087,383	$	817,529
Still beverages (noncarbonated, including energy products)		368,955		246,371		625,013		412,561
Total bottle/can sales		976,578		711,230		1,712,396		1,230,090

Total net sales	$	1,169,291	$	840,384	$	2,034,993	$	1,465,840

⁽¹⁾

During the second quarter of 2016, energy products were moved from the category of sparkling beverages to still beverages, which has been reflected in all periods presented. Total bottle/can sales remain unchanged in prior periods.
