Note Regarding the Presentation of Alternative Performance Measures
|
We use certain alternative performance measures (non-GAAP performance measures) to make financial, operating and planning decisions and to evaluate and report performance. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors and as such, where clearly identified, we have included certain alternative performance measures in this document to allow investors to better analyse our business performance and allow for greater comparability. To do so, we have excluded items affecting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance as described below.
The alternative performance measures included herein should be read in conjunction with and do not replace the directly reconcilable GAAP measure.
For purposes of this document, the following terms are defined:
‘Comparable’
represents results excluding items impacting comparability during the periods presented. Items impacting comparability include restructuring charges, merger and integration related costs, out of period mark-to-market impact of hedges, litigation provisions and net tax items relating to rate and law changes. Such items are excluded from our comparable results in order to provide a better understanding of business performance and allow for greater comparability. Additionally, for 2017 periods presented, comparable includes final acquisition accounting related adjustments. Comparable volume is also adjusted for selling days.
‘Fx-neutral’
represents the comparable results excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes during the periods presented. Foreign exchange impact is calculated by recasting current year results at prior year exchange rates.
‘Free cash flow’
is defined as net cash flows from operations, less capital expenditures and interest paid, plus proceeds from capital disposals. Management utilises free cash flow as a measure of the Group’s cash generation from operating activities, taking into account investments in property, plant and equipment and non-discretionary interest payments.
‘Adjusted EBITDA’
is defined as profit after tax plus taxes, net finance costs, non-operating items, depreciation, amortisation and adjusted for items impacting comparability.
Unless otherwise stated, percent amounts are rounded to the nearest 0.5%.

First-quarter
2018 diluted earnings per share were
€0.25
on a reported basis, or
€0.33
on a comparable basis. Currency translation had a negligible impact on first-quarter comparable diluted earnings per share.
First-quarter
2018
reported operating profit totalled
€187 million
, down
14.5 percent
versus prior year. Comparable operating profit was
€239 million
, up
12.5
percent, or up
13.0
percent on a comparable and fx-neutral basis.
Key operating profit factors in the quarter include modest revenue growth driven by strong revenue per unit case growth. This was offset by a
2.5 percent
decline in volume as we continue to optimise promotional effectiveness, focus on smaller pack formats and exit lower margin brands. Operating margins improved as we expanded our gross margin and continued to realise post-merger synergy benefits.
Revenue
First-quarter
2018
reported revenue totalled
€2.4 billion
, flat versus prior year, or up
1.0 percent
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis. Revenue per unit case was up
3.5 percent
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis driven by favourable price, promotion and package mix.
First-quarter
volume decreased
2.5 percent
on a comparable basis, reflecting unfavourable weather conditions; the impact from customer disruptions, notably in France; and some of our strategic decisions regarding our portfolio, principally in the water segment.
On a territory basis for the first quarter, Iberia revenues were down
0.5 percent
, with a decline in volume partially offset by revenue per unit case growth, supported by favourable channel mix. Revenue in Germany was up
1.5 percent
, with strong revenue per unit case growth driven by the impact of pricing and promotional plans, partially offset by volume declines. Revenue in Great Britain grew
3.0 percent
with solid gains in revenue per unit case reflecting an ongoing focus on promotional effectiveness and favourable package mix. Revenue in France was down
4.5 percent
with modest growth in revenue per unit case more than offset by a decline in volume owing primarily to the impact from customer disruptions as we focus on price realisation and reduction of promotional activity. Revenue in the Northern European territories (Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland) was flat, led by growth in the Netherlands and Sweden.
On a brand basis for first-quarter
2018
, volume for sparkling brands was down
1.0 percent
. Coca-Cola trademark brands decreased
2.0 percent
, with growth of 8.5 percent in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar offset by declines in other trademark brands. Sparkling flavours and energy grew
1.0 percent
led by energy brands and Schweppes. Still brands decreased
9.0 percent
, with water brands down
10.5 percent
and juices, isotonics, and other down
8.0 percent
mainly due to strategic decisions regarding our brand portfolio.
Cost of Sales
First-quarter
2018
reported cost of sales were
€1.5 billion
, up
1.5 percent
versus prior year. Comparable cost of sales were
€1.5 billion
, down
2.5 percent
, or down
1.5 percent
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis.
First-quarter
cost of sales per unit case increased
1.0 percent
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis, driven by channel, brand and package mix, as well as year-over-year cost increases in key inputs, principally concentrate as a result of our incidence model, and aluminium. This was partially offset by sweetener and benefits from our synergy programmes.
Operating Expenses
First-quarter
2018
reported operating expenses were
€700 million
, up
0.5 percent
versus prior year. Comparable operating expenses were
€677 million
, up
1.0 percent
, or up
2.0 percent
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis. This reflects expense timing and select investments partially offset by synergy benefits and a continued focus on managing expenses.
Restructuring Charges
During the first-quarter 2018, we recognised restructuring charges totaling
€44 million
. These charges principally relate to proposed restructuring activities under our Integration and Synergy Programme and our recently announced proposal to close our manufacturing site in Milton Keynes and distribution centre in Northampton during the course of 2019.
For 2018, CCEP affirms prior guidance, including revenue growth in a low single-digit range, with both operating profit and earnings per share growth of between 6 percent and 7 percent. Each of these growth figures is on a comparable and fx-neutral basis when compared to 2017 comparable results. This revenue growth guidance excludes the accounting impact of incremental soft drinks industry taxes. These taxes are expected to add approximately 2 percent to 3 percent to revenue growth and approximately 4 percent to cost of goods growth. At recent rates, currency translation would have a negligible impact on 2018 full-year diluted earnings per share.
Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of €525 million to €575 million, including approximately €75 million of capital expenditures related to synergies. Weighted-average cost of debt is expected to be approximately 2 percent. The comparable effective tax rate for 2018 is expected to be approximately 25 percent.
CCEP remains on track to achieve pre-tax run-rate savings of €315 million to €340 million through synergies by mid-2019. Further, CCEP expects to have realised approximately 75 percent of the target by year-end 2018. Restructuring cash costs to achieve these synergies are expected to be approximately 2 1/4 times expected savings and includes cash costs associated with pre-transaction close accruals. During 2018, CCEP expects to continue to evaluate returning incremental cash to shareholders.
The CCEP Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly interim dividend of €0.26 per share. The interim dividend is payable 29 May 2018 to those shareholders of record on 14 May 2018. The Company is pursuing arrangements to pay the interim dividend in euros to shares held within Euroclear Netherlands. Other publicly held shares will be converted into an equivalent US dollar amount using exchange rates issued by WM/Reuters taken at 16:00 BST on 26 April 2018. This translated amount will be posted on our website, www.ccep.com, under the Investor/Shareowner Information section.

Forward-Looking Statements
|
This document may contain statements, estimates or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” concerning the financial condition, performance, results, strategy and objectives of Coca-Cola European Partners plc and its subsidiaries (“CCEP”). Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “might,” “will,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from CCEP’s and the CCEP’s historical experience and present expectations or projections. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F, including the statements under the following headings: Risks Relating to Consumer Preferences and the Health Impact of Soft Drinks; Risks Relating to Legal and Regulatory Intervention (such as the impact of sugar taxes being implemented in a number of countries in 2018 and recently announced plans by the UK Government to consider the introduction of some form of deposit return scheme in GB); Risks Relating to Business Integration and Synergy Savings; Risks Relating to Cyber and Social Engineering Attacks; Risks Relating to the Market; Risks Relating to Economic and Political Conditions (such as continuing developments in relation to the UK’s exit from the EU); Risks Relating to the Relationship with TCCC and Other Franchisors; Risks Relating to Product Quality; and Other Risks.
Due to these risks and uncertainties, CCEP’s actual future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in CCEP’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties that may impact the Company’s or the CCEP’s future financial condition and performance are identified in filings with the SEC which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. CCEP does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required under applicable rules, laws and regulations. CCEP assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any forward-looking statements. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this filing and in any other of CCEP’s respective public statements may prove to be incorrect.

30 March 2018 vs 31 December 2017
Total non-current assets decreased
€48 million
, or
0.3 percent
, from
€14.9 billion
at
31 December 2017
to
€14.8 billion
at
30 March 2018
. This change was primarily driven by decreases in property, plant and equipment.
Total current assets increased
€36 million
, or
1.1 percent
, from
€3.3 billion
at
31 December 2017
to
€3.4 billion
at
30 March 2018
. This change was primarily driven by seasonality effects causing an increase of €124 million in inventories, offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of €115 million.
Total current liabilities decreased
€30 million
, or
0.9 percent
, from
€3,287 million
at
31 December 2017
to
€3,257 million
at
30 March 2018
, primarily driven by a reduction in trade and other payables of €135 million offset by commercial paper issuances in the quarter of €120 million.
30 March 2018 vs 31 March 2017
Total non-current assets decreased
€271 million
, or
1.8 percent
, from
€15.1 billion
at
31 March 2017
to
€14.8 billion
at
30 March 2018
. This change was partially driven by a decrease of €248 million in deferred tax assets mainly related to US tax law changes enacted in December 2017. Property, plant and equipment reduced by €163 million and was offset by increases in intangible assets and goodwill of €57 million and €93 million, respectively, relating primarily to the finalisation of acquisition accounting for Germany and Iberia and currency effects during the period.
Total current assets decreased
€86 million
, or
2.5 percent
, from
€3,436 million
at
31 March 2017
to
€3,350 million
at
30 March 2018
driven by decreases of €119 million in cash and cash equivalents and €86 million in trade accounts receivables, offset by an increase of €48 million in inventories.
Total non-current liabilities decreased by
€87 million
, or
1.0 percent
, from
€8.3 billion
at
31 March 2017
to
€8.2 billion
at
30 March 2018
. This change was mainly driven by a reduction of €120 million in employee benefit liabilities due to improved return on underlying assets, a reduction in non-current borrowings of €98 million reflecting early repayments on a term loan of €300 million, foreign exchange movements on our US denominated debt and issuance of €350 million floating rate notes, offset by an increase in our derivative liabilities of €127 million.
Total current liabilities decreased by
€405 million
, or
11.1 percent
, from
€3.7 billion
at
31 March 2017
to
€3.3 billion
at
30 March 2018
. This change was primarily driven by the repayment of €300 million Eurobond notes in November 2017 and €500 million floating rate notes in December 2017, partially offset by commercial paper issuances of €370 million and an increase in trade and other payables of €67 million, primarily due to working capital initiatives.
