Item Description The company
Equity income (loss), net This item represents the entity's proportionate share for the period of the net income (loss) of its investee (such as unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures) to which the equity method of accounting is applied. Such amount typically reflects adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated statements, including adjustments to eliminate intercompany gains and losses, and to amortize, if appropriate, any difference between cost and underlying equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment. Coca-Cola Co.'s equity income (loss), net declined from 2010 to 2011 but then slightly increased from 2011 to 2012.
Equity method investments This item represents the carrying amount on the entity's balance sheet of its investment in common stock of an equity method investee. This is not an indicator of the fair value of the investment, rather it is the initial cost adjusted for the entity's share of earnings and losses of the investee, adjusted for any distributions (dividends) and other than temporary impairment losses recognized. Coca-Cola Co.'s equity method investments increased from 2010 to 2011 and from 2011 to 2012.
ROA (equity method investments only) A profitability ratio calculated as equity income (loss), net divided by equity method investments. Coca-Cola Co.'s ROA of equity method investments deteriorated from 2010 to 2011 and from 2011 to 2012.
