...Financial Statements Analysis Dr. Rimona Palas Caroline LAYANI Id: 94746 Michael WEIMBERG Id: 94852 Nathan BENAMOU Id: 94531 Sebastian KANOVICH Id:799048 I. Executive summary After analyzing the income statement, ratios and strategies of the Coca-Cola Company, we can conclude that Coca-Cola had a continuous revenue growth between the years 2009 and 2011. It is the largest soft drink industry company in the world and therefore stands in a privileged position to face potential crisis. The reason for having our results in the income statement, and thus also in our ratios can be explained by the company’s acquisition and consolidation of CCE’s North American business during the last quarter of 2010. Moreover, another important factor for the decline in equity interest was the sale of the company’s investment in Embonor during the first quarter of 2011. Coca-Cola has been using several strategies. As mentioned above, acquisitions have been an important factor of Coca-Cola over the last 50 years. By acquiring new companies, they were able to eliminate competition, increase their growth and become the market leader of the non-alcoholic beverage industry. Following our calculations, over the past three years, Coca-Cola had an increase in its current liabilities as well as in their “cash to sales”. The debt-to-equity ratio shows that it’s smaller than one, meaning that the company is financed through equity. This low debt-to-equity ratio will usually be preferable...

...however you might say it and that is Pepsi and Coca-Cola. We all know that these two companies are constantly in competition to be the number one manufacturer and distributor of beverages in the world. Pepsi and Coca-Cola are very well known in the beverage community around the world. When a company like either of these two has dominated the markets worldwide then they will receive universal recognition for their very different but similar products.

Pepsi and Coca-Cola not only do make soda drinks, but they also produce flavored water, spring water, and some energy drinks. We all know that Pepsi is best known for Pepsi and that Coca-Cola is best known for Coke, but because of their great marketing ability and because of this they are able to target people from all around the world.

While both companies have had recent problems in emerging nations such as India by having their products be condemned for improper ingredients, a shakeup like this might be necessary to promote future growth for possibly undersold equities.
