Acquisitions
Our Company’s acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $37 million and $42 million during the three months ended April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025, respectively. The activity during the three months ended April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025 included $32 million and $30 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 $748 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025. 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, which was 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 months ended April 3, 2026, we recorded an additional impairment charge of $10 million based on management’s revised estimates. These charges were recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our consolidated statement of income.
