Acquisitions
Our Company’s acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $199 million and $179 million during the six months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025, respectively. The activity during 2026 included additional investments of $112 million in an equity method investee in Japan. The activity during the six months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025 included $75 million and $148 million, respectively, of investments in alternative energy limited partnerships. Refer to Note 14 for additional information on these investments.
Divestitures
Proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $1 million and $973 million during the six months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025, respectively. In March 2025, the Company sold a portion of our ownership interest in Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (“CCEP”), an equity method investee, for which we received cash proceeds of $741 million and recognized a net gain of $331 million. In May 2025, the Company refranchised its bottling operations in certain territories in India that were held for sale as of December 31, 2024, for which we received net cash proceeds of $218 million and recognized a net gain of $102 million. These gains were recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our consolidated statement of income.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
In October 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell a portion of our interest in our bottling operations in Africa to Coca-Cola HBC AG (“CCHBC”), an equity method investee. Closing is subject to various regulatory approvals and is expected by the end of 2026, upon which we will deconsolidate these bottling operations. We have also agreed to a separate option arrangement for CCHBC to acquire the Company’s remaining 25% ownership interest within a six-year period from closing. As these operations met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we were required to record the related assets and liabilities at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell based on the estimated proceeds. This resulted in an impairment charge of $1,274 million, primarily due to the negative net foreign currency translation adjustments that will be reclassified to income upon sale. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2026, we recorded a gain to reduce this impairment charge by $66 million and $56 million, respectively, based on management’s revised estimates. These amounts were recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our consolidated statements of income.
