DAMIAN GAMMELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAID:

"2021 was an extraordinary year for CCEP. We are a stronger more diverse business, built on great people, great service and great beverages - done sustainably. Solid top-line recovery, value share gains, operating margin expansion and remarkable free cash flow generation demonstrate our strong performance in a challenging environment. Our results also reflect the successful acquisition and integration of Coca-Cola Amatil, a fantastic business to have acquired at the right time, as we look forward to an even brighter future together.

"Together with The Coca-Cola Company and our other partners, our focus on core brands, in-market execution and smart revenue growth management initiatives solidified our FY21 position as the largest FMCG value creator([5]) , delivering revenue per unit case([2],[3]) growth ahead of FY19([6],[11]) . We also continued to make progress on our ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2040 and invest in making our packaging more sustainable.

"We are well placed as we look to FY22 and beyond. Our aim is to be smart and sustainable - through our people centric, data driven and digitally enabled approach. Disciplined investment in these areas, as well as in our portfolio, will support our long-term growth ambitions. In the near-term, we expect to see further volume and mix recovery whilst managing our key levers of pricing, promotional spend and driving efficiencies across our business, collectively with the aim of mitigating inflationary pressures.

"It is an outstanding time to be leading CCEP. We are making a difference and believe we have the right foundation to drive sustainable growth and, as evidenced by our FY21 dividend being greater than FY19 and FY20, deliver increased shareholder value. "

FY & Q4 HIGHLIGHTS([1],[3]) 
 

Revenue

FY Reported +30.0%; FY Pro forma +7.5%([6])

-- Reported growth, in addition to the drivers below, reflects the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil (completed 10 May 2021)

-- NARTD value share gains across measured channels both in store([7]) (+40bps) including sparkling (+30bps) & online([8]) (+120bps)

   --       Delivered more revenue growth for our retail customers than any of our FMCG peers([5]) 
   --       Pro forma : 

comparable volume +4.5%([9]) (-5.5% vs FY19) driven by the reopening of Away from Home (AFH) & increased consumer mobility given the easing of restrictions across most of our markets

comparable volume by channel: AFH +10.0% (-16.0% vs FY19) reflecting fewer restrictions & recovery of immediate consumption (IC) packs (+20.5%([10]) vs FY20; -19.5%([10]) vs FY19); Home +1.5% (+2.0% vs FY19) supported by growth of IC & sustained growth in key future consumption packs (e.g. multipack cans +3.5%([10]) vs FY20; +18.5%([10]) vs FY19)

revenue per unit case +3.0%([2],[6]) (+1.5%([11]) vs FY19) reflecting positive pack & channel mix driven by the improvement in AFH volume & growth in IC packs, alongside favourable price & brand mix

Q4 Reported +50.5%; Q4 Pro forma +8.5%([6])

-- Reported growth, in addition to the drivers below, reflects the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil

   --       Pro forma: 

comparable volume +8.5%([9]) (-1.5% vs FY19) driven by solid execution in the Home channel & cycling of soft comparables

comparable volume by channel: AFH +23.0% (-9.5% vs FY19); Home +1.5% (+4.0% vs FY19)

revenue per unit case +5.5%([2],[6]) (+1.5%([11]) vs FY19) primarily driven by favourable pack mix & promotional optimisation

-- Recent trading impacted by Omicron however restrictions not as severe as PY (pro forma comparable volume Q1 2021 -8.5% vs FY20)

Operating profit

Reported +86.5%; Pro forma comparable +23.5%([6])

-- Reported growth, in addition to the drivers below, reflects the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil

-- Pro forma cost of sales per unit case +1.5%([2],[6]) reflecting increased revenue per unit case driving higher concentrate costs, commodity inflation & adverse mix, partially offset by the favourable recovery of fixed manufacturing costs given higher volumes

-- Pro forma comparable operating profit of EUR1,886m, +23.5%([6]) reflecting the increased revenue, the benefit of on-going efficiency programmes & our continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation

   --       Comparable diluted EPS of EUR2.83, +54.5%([6]) (reported +97.0%) 

Dividend

-- FY21 dividend per share of EUR1.40 (paid December([4]) ), +64.5% vs last year & +13.0% vs FY19, maintaining annualised dividend payout ratio of approximately 50% (in line with our dividend policy)

-- CCEP announces that it will revert to two interim dividends starting in FY22, the first declared with the Q1 trading update (paid in June), the second declared at the Q3 trading update (paid in December). The first interim dividend will be calculated as 40% of the prior year FY dividend, with the second interim dividend being paid with reference to the current year annualised total dividend payout ratio of approximately 50%

Other

-- Generated strong free cash flow of EUR1,460m (net cash flows from operating activities of EUR2,117m), supporting our focus on returning to our target leverage range (Net debt:Adjusted EBITDA of 2.5x-3x) by FY24. Assuming the Coca-Cola Amatil acquisition occurred on 1 January 2021, FY21 pro forma free cash flow is estimated to be EUR85m lower

   --       Pro forma ROIC 8.0% (reported ROIC 9.2%) 

-- API integration progressing very well; reorienting the portfolio to maximise system value creation to enable greater focus on NARTD, RTD alcohol & Spirits:

sale of NARTD own brands to The Coca-Cola Company for A$275m; annualised EBIT impact of A$25m

progressing previously announced plans to exit production, sale & distribution of Australia beer & apple cider products; minimal EBIT impact

these initiatives are expected to substantially complete by the end of the first half

Sustainability

-- Europe: closed 2021 at 53%([12]) recycled plastic (rPET) achieving 2023 target 2 years early

-- API([13]) : announced industry partnerships to build new PET recycling facilities in Australia & Indonesia

-- 2 manufacturing sites in Spain & Sweden certified carbon neutral. Aiming for at least 8 sites by end of 2023

-- Retained on Carbon Disclosures Project's A Lists for climate change & water security; in Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (Europe & World) for 6 years in a row & MSCI ESG Leaders index

Forward-Looking Statements 
 

This document contains statements, estimates or projections that constitute "forward-looking statements" concerning the financial condition, performance, results, strategy and objectives of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and its subsidiaries (together "CCEP" or the "Group"). Generally, the words "ambition," "target," "aim," "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "plan," "seek," "may," "could," "would," "should," "might," "will," "forecast," "outlook," "guidance," "possible," "potential," "predict," "objective" 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 historical experience and present expectations or projections, including with respect to the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries (together "CCL" or "API") completed on 10 May 2021 (the "Acquisition"). 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 include but are not limited to:

1. those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of CCEP's 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 12 March 2021,as updated and supplemented with the additional information set forth in the "Principal Risks and Risk Factors" section of the H1 2021 Half-year Report Filed with the SEC on 2 September 2021;

2. those set forth in the "Business and Sustainability Risks" section of CCL's 2020 Financial and Statutory Reports; and

3. risks and uncertainties relating to the Acquisition, including the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected, which could result in additional demands on CCEP's resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of its ongoing business and diversion of management's attention from other business concerns; the possibility that certain assumptions with respect to API or the Acquisition could prove to be inaccurate; burdensome conditions imposed in connection with any regulatory approvals; ability to raise financing; the potential that the Acquisition may involve unexpected liabilities for which there is no indemnity; the potential failure to retain key employees as a result of the Acquisition or during integration of the businesses and disruptions resulting from the Acquisition, making it more difficult to maintain business relationships; the potential for (i) negative reaction from financial markets, customers, regulators, employees and other stakeholders, (ii) litigation related to the Acquisition.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect CCEP and the results of its operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

Due to these risks, CCEP's actual future results, dividend payments, capital and leverage ratios, growth, market share, tax rate, efficiency savings, the results of the integration of the businesses following the Acquisition, including expected efficiency and combination savings, and achievement of sustainability goals, may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in forward-looking statements (including those issued by CCL prior to the Acquisition). These risks may also adversely affect CCEP's share price. Additional risks that may impact 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. Furthermore, 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 or CCL's public statements (whether prior or subsequent to the Acquisition) may prove to be incorrect.

 
Note Regarding the Presentation of Pro forma financial information 
 and Alternative Performance Measures 
 

Pro forma financial information

Pro forma financial information has been provided in order to illustrate the effects of the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (referred to as CCL pre acquisition, API post acquisition) on the results of operations of CCEP and allow for greater comparability of the results of the combined group between periods. The pro forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its nature, addresses a hypothetical situation. It is based on information and assumptions that CCEP believes are reasonable, including assumptions as at 1 January 2021 and 1 January 2020 relating to acquisition accounting provisional fair values of API assets and liabilities which are assumed to be equivalent to those that have been provisionally determined as of the acquisition date and included in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, on a constant currency basis. The pro forma information also assumes the interest impact of additional debt financing reflecting the actual weighted average interest rate for acquisition financing of c.0.40% for all periods presented. Acquisition costs included in 2020 pro forma financial information are assumed to be equivalent to those incurred in 2021.

The pro forma financial information does not intend to represent what CCEP's results of operations actually would have been if the acquisition had been completed on the dates indicated, nor does it intend to represent, predict or estimate the results of operations for any future period or financial position at any future date. In addition, it does not reflect ongoing cost savings that CCEP expects to achieve as a result of the acquisition or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings or synergies. As pro forma information is prepared to illustrate retrospectively the effects of future transactions, there are limitations that are inherent to the nature of pro forma information. As such, had the acquisition taken place on the dates assumed, the actual effects would not necessarily have been the same as those presented in the Pro Forma financial information contained herein .

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 measures.

For purposes of this document, the following terms are defined:

"As reported" are results extracted from our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

"Pro forma " includes the results of CCEP and API as if the Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, including acquisition accounting adjustments relating to provisional fair values. Pro forma also includes impact of the additional debt financing costs incurred by CCEP in connection with the Acquisition for all periods presented.

"Comparable" is defined as results excluding items impacting comparability, which include restructuring charges, acquisition and integration related costs, inventory fair value step up related to acquisition accounting, the impact of the closure of the GB defined benefit pension scheme, net costs related to European flooding and net tax items relating to rate and law changes. Comparable volume is also adjusted for selling days.

"Pro forma Comparable" is defined as the pro forma results excluding items impacting comparability, as described above.

"Fx-neutral" is defined as period results excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Foreign exchange impact is calculated by recasting current year results at prior year exchange rates.

"Capex" or "Capital expenditures" is defined as purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalised software, plus payments of principal on lease obligations, less proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment. Capex is used as a measure to ensure that cash spending on capital investment is in line with the Group's overall strategy for the use of cash.

"Free cash flow" is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures (as defined above) and interest paid. Free cash flow is used as a measure of the Group's cash generation from operating activities, taking into account investments in property, plant and equipment and non-discretionary lease and interest payments. Free cash flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is calculated as Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), after adding back items impacting the comparability of period over period financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. Further, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs, and although depreciation and amortisation are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortised are likely to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements.

"Net Debt" is defined as the net of cash and cash equivalents and short term investments less borrowings and adjusted for the fair value of hedging instruments related to borrowings and other financial assets/liabilities related to borrowings. We believe that reporting net debt is useful as it reflects a metric used by the Group to assess cash management and leverage. In addition, the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to analyse our operating performance in the context of targeted financial leverage.

"ROIC" or "Return on invested capital" is defined as comparable operating profit after tax attributable to shareholders divided by the average of opening and closing invested capital for the year. Invested capital is calculated as the addition of borrowings and equity attributable to shareholders less cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. ROIC is used as a measure of capital efficiency and reflects how well the Group generates comparable operating profit relative to the capital invested in the business.

"Dividend payout ratio" is defined as dividends as a proportion of comparable profit after tax.

Additionally, within this document, we provide certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial Information, which management uses for planning and measuring performance. We are not able to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures to reported measures without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact or exact timing of items that may impact comparability throughout year.

Unless otherwise stated, percent amounts are rounded to the nearest 0.5%.

For the year ending 31 December 2021, reported cost of sales were EUR8,677 million, up 26.5% versus 2020, and include the impact of a EUR48 million acquisition accounting fair value step up to API finished goods at the time of the Acquisition that were sold during May and June.

Comparable cost of sales for the same period were EUR8,606 million, up 26.5% versus 2020. Cost of sales per unit case increased by 1.0% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis, reflecting the impact of the newly acquired API operations, increased revenue per unit case driving higher concentrate costs, commodity inflation & adverse mix, partially offset by the favourable recovery of fixed manufacturing costs given higher volumes.

For the year ending 31 December 2021, reported operating expenses were EUR3,570 million, up 22.0% versus 2020.

Comparable operating expenses were EUR3,385 million for the same period, up 30.0% versus 2020, reflecting the impact of the newly acquired API operations and higher volumes, partially offset by the benefit of ongoing efficiency programmes and our continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation.

Restructuring charges of EUR136 million were recognised within reported operating expenses for the year ending 31 December 2021 related principally to the continuation of the Accelerate Competitiveness programme announced in October 2020. This programme relates to initiatives across Europe aimed at improving productivity through the use of technology enabled solutions. Restructuring charges in 2021 include EUR51 million of severance costs related to productivity initiatives within the commercial organisation in Iberia.

Restructuring charges of EUR306 million were recognised within operating expenses for the year ending 31 December 2020, the majority of which also relate to the severance and accelerated depreciation in connection with the Accelerate Competitiveness programme. Charges included costs associated with closure of production sites in Germany and Iberia as well as the closure of five distribution centres and changes in commercial organisation in Germany.

Acquisition and integration related costs of EUR49 million were recognised within reported operating expenses the year ending 31 December 2021 associated with the acquisition of CCL, primarily brokerage and advisory fees. This compares to EUR11 million of acquisition related costs recognised during the year ending 31 December 2020.

___________________

([1]) Following the acquisition of CCL, Net Debt includes adjustments for the fair value of derivative instruments used to hedge both currency and interest rate risk on the Group's borrowings. As at 31 December 2020, the Group did not hold interest rate hedging instruments and adjusted Net Debt only for currency impacts. In addition, Net Debt also includes other financial assets/liabilities relating to cash collateral pledged by/to external parties on hedging instruments related to borrowings.

([2]) Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2021 includes EUR45 million of cash in Papua New Guinea Kina. Presently, there are government-imposed currency controls which impact the extent to which the cash held in Papua New Guinea can be converted into foreign currency and remitted for use elsewhere in the Group.

([3]) Short term investments are term cash deposits held in API with maturity dates when acquired of greater than three months and less than one year. These short term investments are held with counterparties that are continually assessed with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. Short term term investments as at 31 December 2021 includes EUR44 million of assets in Papua New Guinea Kina, subject to the same currency controls outlined above.

([3]) In light of the CCL acquisition and in order to provide investors with a more meaningful measure of capital efficiency for 2021, a pro forma ROIC measure has been presented. To derive this pro forma measure, opening borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and short term investments, and equity attributable to shareholders have been extracted from the Unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of 31 December 2020 prepared in connection with proposed financing of the CCL acquisition and furnished on Form 6-K on 20 April 2021, and adjusted for any associated acquisition accounting fair value adjustments in the period through to 31 December 2021. These adjustments include an increase in borrowings of EUR38 million and a decrease in equity attributable to shareholders of EUR18 million.
