Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

During its fourth quarter and full-year earnings call today, PepsiCo, Inc. (the “Company”) provided full-year 2009 guidance for both net revenue and core EPS of mid- to high-single-digit growth on a constant currency basis. Please refer to the Company’s press release, dated February 13, 2009, for further information with respect to the Company’s constant currency guidance, including a description of the items excluded from core EPS guidance for 2009.

The Company also clarified that given the macro economic turbulence and volatility in the currency markets, it is not feasible at this time for the Company to provide guidance beyond fiscal year 2009 but did express confidence in its underlying business and reiterated its long-term performance goal of core EPS growth of at least 10 percent.

The information in this Current Report is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
