Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"We are pleased to have delivered another strong quarter
following a great first half. We achieved solid top line growth and
value share gains across our markets. Key to this was the continued
recovery of the away from home channel, a return to travel and
tourism for many consumers, great summer weather in Europe and a
resilient home channel. Our focus on core brands, leading in-market
execution, and further price and mix, delivered volume and revenue,
across both channels, ahead of 2019. And we continued to make
progress against our sustainability commitments, globally
recognised as the recipient of the Coca-Cola system's 2021 ESG
award.
"Given our strong year to date performance, we are raising top
line, bottom line and free cash flow guidance for FY22 and
declaring a record dividend. We are confident in the resilience of
our robust categories and the strength of the relationships we have
with our customers, who continue to share in our success, despite a
more uncertain outlook. We are also effectively managing key levers
of pricing* and promotional spend across our broad pack offering,
alongside our focus on efficiency.
"Our success will continue to be determined by our great people,
great service, great beverages, done sustainably. We are a bigger
and better, more diverse and resilient business, enhanced by our
bold and fantastic acquisition last year. Alongside our strong
performance this year, we are today committing to even more
ambitious objectives over the mid-term. In combination with over
EUR5bn of shareholder returns since 2016, this demonstrates the
strength of our business and ability to deliver continued
shareholder value. We have the platform and momentum to go even
further together for a greater future. We look forward to providing
more details at today's Capital Markets Event in London."

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 2021
Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 15 March 2022 and
as updated and supplemented with the additional information set
forth in the "Principal Risks and Risk Factors" section of the H1
2022 Half-year Report filed with the SEC on 4 August 2022;
2. 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;
3. the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to 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;
4. risks and uncertainties relating to the global supply chain,
including impact from war in Ukraine, such as the risk that the
business will not be able to guarantee sufficient supply of raw
materials, supplies, finished goods, natural gas and oil and
increased state-sponsored cyber risks;
5. risks and uncertainties relating to the global economy and/or
a potential recession in one or more countries, including risks
from elevated inflation, price increases, price elasticity,
disposable income of consumers and employees, pressure on and from
suppliers, increased fraud, and the perception or manifestation of
a global economic downturn; and
6. risks and uncertainties relating to potential global energy
crisis, with potential interruptions and shortages in the global
energy supply, specifically the natural gas supply in our
territories. Energy shortages at our sites, our suppliers and
customers could cause interruptions to our supply chain and
capability to meet our production and distribution targets. The
impacts, including potential increases in energy prices, are
expected to be exacerbated during the approaching colder months of
the year.
Due to these risks, CCEP's actual future results, dividend
payments, capital and leverage ratios, growth, including growth in
revenue, cost of sales per unit case and operating profit, free
cash flow, market share, tax rate, efficiency savings, achievement
of sustainability goals, including net zero emissions, and the
results of the integration of the businesses following the
Acquisition, including expected efficiency and combination savings,
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 in 2021 and allow for greater
comparability of the results of the combined group between periods.
The pro forma financial information for 2021 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. For further information, refer
to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 15
March 2022, which provides further details on our non-GAAP
performance measures and reconciles, where applicable, our results
as reported under IFRS to Pro forma financial information and
non-GAAP performance measures.
The Pro forma financial information presented in this document
reflects the inclusion of API revenue as if the acquisition had
occurred at 1 January 2021 and prepared on a basis consistent with
CCEP accounting policies.
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 consolidated
financial statements.
"Pro forma" includes the results of CCEP and API as if the
Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2021. In this
document, the Pro forma financial information adjustments reflect
the inclusion of API revenue as if the acquisition had occurred at
the beginning of 2021 and prepared on a basis consistent with CCEP
accounting policies.
"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 impact 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" or "FXN" 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
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
