...Financial Research Report: The Coca - Cola Company FIN 534 – Assignment #1 07 December 2014 Coca Cola Introduction: Coca Cola Company is an American, multinational company that is infamous for its beverage products. The company is commonly referred to as coca cola. Invented and patented in 1886 and 1887, respectively, by an American pharmacist named John Pemberton. Pemberton sold the company in 1889 to Griggs Candler who incorporated it in 1892. For more than 70 years, coca cola had been the sole beverage of the company.

The Company has found success in appealing to the needs and desires of a broad consumer base. Their customers derive from various backgrounds, lifestyles, demographics and age ranges. Currently, the Coca Cola brand expands in the integrated form of more than 500 brands of beverages across more than 200 nations worldwide.

...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...

...University of Jordan Faculty of Business Strategic Management “Coca-Cola Company” Case Study STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT Prepared By Fathi Salem Mohammed Abdullah 2009 History analysis • In May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard. Being a bookkeeper, Frank Robinson also had excellent penmanship. It was he who first scripted "Coca Cola" into the flowing letters which has become the famous logo of today. The soft drink was first sold to the public at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886. Until 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, contained extracts of cocaine as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut. Until the 1960s, both small town and big city dwellers enjoyed carbonated beverages at the local soda fountain or ice cream saloon. Often housed in the drug store, the soda fountain counter served as a meeting place for people of all ages. Often combined with lunch counters, the soda fountain declined in popularity as commercial ice cream, bottled soft drinks, and fast food restaurants became popular. On April 23, 1985, the trade secret "New Coke" formula was released. Today, products of the Coca Cola Company are consumed at the rate of more than one billion drinks per day. • • • • • Vision Statement (actual) To maintain our reputation as the leading cola company in the world.
