DAMIAN GAMMELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAID:

"2022 was a very successful year, our first as Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. This is testament to the hard work of our colleagues to whom we are extremely grateful. Our focus on well invested and winning brands across our broad pack offering, great in-market execution and price and promotion strategy served us well. We benefited from the continued recovery of the away from home channel and the return of travel and tourism with further growth in the home channel. Combined with our ongoing focus on efficiency, this delivered strong top and bottom-line growth, value share gains and generated solid free cash flow. We continue to be a great partner for our customers, a great place to work for our colleagues whilst making further progress against our sustainability commitments - more of our sites went carbon neutral, we switched logistics to lower carbon alternatives and invested in recycling facilities.

"A record dividend in FY22 combined with our FY23 guidance and ambitious but achievable mid-term objectives demonstrate the strength of our business. Enhanced by our great API business, we are bigger and better, more diverse and robust, operating in resilient categories. We remain confident in the future, despite a dynamic outlook, and we continue to invest for the longer-term, evidenced by the minority buy out of our exciting Indonesian market. Our clear strategy, strong brand partner relationships and great people will ensure we continue to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders. We have the platform and momentum to go even further together for a greater future."

FY & Q4 HIGHLIGHTS[1],[3]

Revenue 

FY Reported +26.0%; FY Pro forma +15.5%^[5]

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

• Delivered more revenue growth for our retail customers than any of our FMCG peers in Europe, & any of our NARTD peers in Australia & New Zealand ^[6]

• NARTD value share gains across measured channels both in store ^[7] (+10bps) including sparkling (+20bps) & online ^[8] (+80bps)

• Pro forma:

◦ Comparable volume +9.5% ^[9] (+3.5% vs 2019) driven by solid recovery of away from home (AFH), & continued growth in Home across our markets

◦ Comparable volume by channel: AFH +18.5% (broadly flat vs 2019) reflecting fewer restrictions & increased mobility. The return of tourism & favourable weather in Europe also supported the strong recovery of immediate consumption (IC) packs (+23.0% ^[10] ). Home +4.0% (+6.5% vs 2019) supported by recovery of IC packs & sustained growth in key future consumption packs (e.g. multipack cans +6.0% ^[10] & +25.0% vs 2019)

◦ Revenue per unit case +6.0% ^[2],[5] (+9.0% ^[11] vs 2019) reflecting positive pack & channel mix driven by the recovery of AFH, promotional optimisation & favourable headline price following the successful implementation of dynamic headline pricing strategies across our markets

Q4 Reported +10.0%; Q4 Fx-neutral +10.5%^[5]

• Comparable volume +1.5% ^[9] (flat vs 2019) despite disruption related to a customer negotiation in the Home channel & cycling tougher comparables

◦ AFH comparable volume: +5.5% (-4.5% vs 2019)

◦ Home comparable volume: -1.0% (+3.5% vs 2019)  

• Revenue per unit case +9.0% ^[2],[5] (+14.0% ^[11] vs 2019) driven by favourable price & positive pack & channel mix driven by the recovery of AFH

• Recent trading indicating no significant change in underlying consumer demand

Operating profit

FY Reported +37.5%; Pro forma comparable +12.5%^[5]

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

• Pro forma cost of sales per unit case +9.0% ^[2],[5] 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

• Comparable operating profit of €2,138m, +12.5% ^[3],[5] reflecting increased revenue & the benefit of ongoing efficiency programmes (over 90% delivered of multi-year ~€375m programme)

• Comparable diluted EPS of €3.39, +13.0%^[3],[5] (reported +53.0%)

Dividend

• Record full year interim dividend per share of €1.68 ^[4] , +20.0% vs last year & +35.5% vs 2019, maintaining annualised dividend payout ratio of approximately 50% (in line with our dividend policy). Equating to total absolute dividend of €763m

Other

• Generated strong adjusted free cash flow ^[12] of €1,805m reflecting strong performance & working capital initiatives (net cashflows from operating activities of €2,932m), supporting our guidance to return to the top end of our target leverage range by the end of 2023 (Net debt:Adjusted EBITDA^[1] of 2.5x-3x). At the end of 2022, Net debt:Adjusted EBITDA^[1] was 3.5x

• ROIC increased by 112bps ^[3] on a pro forma basis to 9.1% driven by the increase in comparable profit after tax & continued focus on capital allocation  

• Maximising system value creation with API:

◦ Reorientation of the portfolio to enable greater focus on NARTD, RTD alcohol & spirits nearing completion:

▪ Previously announced plans to exit the production, sale & distribution of Australia beer & apple cider products completed^[13]; minimal EBIT impact

▪ Sale of NARTD own brands to The Coca-Cola Company for A$275m; substantially complete; annualised EBIT impact of ~A$25m

◦ On 15 February 2023, CCEP completed the purchase of The Coca-Cola Company's 29.4% minority share in our Indonesia business (Coca-Cola Bottling Indonesia), increasing CCEP's ownership to 100% for a total consideration of €282m (including significant cash acquired). Expect transaction to be EPS accretive (minimal overall impact). This simplifies our ownership structure & operations whilst demonstrating our commitment to the future of this exciting market

FY22 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

• Launched updated commitments & targets to include API (announced in November 2022, link to presentation here )

• Retained inclusion on Carbon Disclosures Project's A Lists for Climate & Water & continued to be recognised in MSCI ESG Leaders Index

• Closed 2022 at ~48%^[14] recycled plastic (rPET); Europe ~56%^[14] & API ~27%^[14]

◦ Launched tethered closures on our PET bottles in 7 of our markets

◦ Opened new industry partnership PET recycling facilities in Australia & Indonesia

• Achieved 6 manufacturing sites as carbon neutral certified

• Retained inclusion on the Bloomberg Gender Equality index

FY23 GUIDANCE & OUTLOOK[1]

The outlook for FY23 reflects current market conditions. Unless stated otherwise, guidance is on a comparable & Fx-neutral basis

Top line

• Revenue: comparable growth of 6-8% driven by price & mix

◦ Dynamic headline pricing & promotional optimisation across our markets & annualisation of FY22 second headline pricing increases

Bottom line

• Cost of sales per unit case*: comparable growth of ~8%

◦ Expect commodity inflation to be up ~10% (previously mid-teens)

◦ FY23 hedge coverage at ~85%

◦ Concentrate directly linked to revenue per unit case through the incidence pricing model

◦ Low overall FX transactional exposure (<10%)

• Operating profit*: comparable growth of 6-7%

◦ Continued focus on delivering efficiency programmes & optimising discretionary spend

Other

• Comparable effective tax rate: ~23%

• Free cash flow: at least €1.6bn

• Capital expenditure: 4-5% of revenue excluding leases

• Dividend payout ratio: c.50%^[15]

* We expect the cost of sales per unit case increase to be weighted more to the first half given the lower comparable from last year as previously disclosed. Consequently we anticipate low single digit operating profit growth in the first half of this year

API

• Q4 volume reflects continued trading momentum in Australia & NZ. Increased mobility, strong trading & navigation of industry-wide supply constraints in Australia & New Zealand, & a record Ramadan in Indonesia supported solid FY volume growth.

• Coca-Cola No Sugar & Monster outperformed, with both Q4 & FY volume ahead of 2019.

• FY revenue/UC^[20] growth driven by favourable underlying price, promotional optimisation in Australia, & positive pack & channel mix.

France

• Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Fuze Tea & Monster outperformed versus 2019 in both Q4 & FY.

• FY revenue/UC^[20] growth driven by positive channel & pack mix led by the recovery of the AFH channel (e.g. small glass +55.5% & small PET +25.0%) & favourable underlying price.

• FY revenue/UC^[20] growth driven by favourable underlying price & positive pack mix led by the recovery of the AFH channel (e.g. small glass +20.5% & small PET +15.0%) .

Iberia

• Q4 volume reflects the strong recovery of the AFH channel. Continued trading momentum, the return of tourism & favourable weather supported FY volume growth versus 2019 in this channel. Despite good trading in the Home channel, overall FY volume versus 2019 was impacted by the increased Spanish VAT rate.

• Coca-Cola Zero Sugar & Monster outperformed, with both Q4 & FY volume ahead of 2019.

• FY revenue/UC^[20] growth driven by favourable underlying price & positive channel & pack mix led by the recovery of the AFH channel (e.g. small glass  +33.5% & small PET +29.5%) .

• FY revenue/UC^[20] growth driven by favourable underlying price & positive pack & channel mix led by the ongoing recovery of the AFH channel (e.g. small glass +57.5% & small PET +16.0%).

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains statements, estimates or projections that constitute "forward-looking statements" concerning the financial condition, performance, results, guidance and outlook, dividends, consequences of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, 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. 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. 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;

3. 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;

4. 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

5. 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.

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, capital expenditures, the results of the acquisition of the minority share of our Indonesian business, and the results of the integration of the businesses following the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil, including expected efficiency and combination savings, may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in forward-looking statements. 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 rul es, laws and regulations. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this filing and in any other of CCEP's public statements 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 (the Acquisition; 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, including assumptions as at 1 January 2021 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 for 2021 also assumes the interest impact of additional debt financing reflecting the actual weighted average interest rate for acquisition financing of c.0.40% for 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 consolidated financial statements.

''Pro forma '' includes the results of CCEP and API as if the Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2021, 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 impact related to European flooding, income arising from the favourable court ruling pertaining to the ownership of certain mineral rights in Australia, impact of a defined benefit plan amendment arising from legislative changes in respect of the minimum retirement age 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 free cash flow'' is defined as Free cash flow (as defined above) adjusted for items that are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor have occurred within the prior two years. Adjusted free cash flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Refer to page 19 for additional information.

''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 2022, reported cost of sales were €11,096 million, up 28.0% versus 2021, reflecting the full year impact of the API operations acquired in 2021, higher volumes and increased cost of sales per case.

Comparable cost of sales for the same period were €11,088 million, up 29.0% versus 2021. Cost of sales per unit case increased by 8.5% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis, reflecting increased revenue per unit case driving higher concentrate costs, commodity inflation & adverse mix, partially offset by the favourable recovery of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of higher volumes.

For the year ending 31 December 2022, reported operating expenses were €4,234 million, up 18.5% versus 2021.

Comparable operating expenses were €4,094 million for the same period, up 21.0% versus 2021, reflecting the full year impact of the API operations acquired in 2021, higher volumes and inflation, partially offset by the benefit of ongoing efficiency programmes and our continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation.

Restructuring charges of €144 million were recognised within reported operating expenses for the year ending 31 December 2022, which are primarily attributable to €82 million of expense recognised in connection with the transformation of the full service vending operations and related initiatives in Germany.

Restructuring charges of €136 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 €51 million of severance costs related to productivity initiatives within the commercial organisation in Iberia.

Supplemental Financial Information - Effective Tax Rate

The reported effective tax rate was 22% and 29% for the year ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, respectively.

The decrease in the reported effective tax rate to 22% in 2022 (2021: 29%) is largely due to the remeasurement of deferred tax positions following the enactment of tax rate changes in the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Indonesia in the prior period.

The comparable effective tax rate was 22% and 21% for the years ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, respectively.

These proceeds are included within Group's net cash flows from operating activities for the year. Given the unusual nature of this item, and to allow for better period over period comparability of our free cash flow measure, adjusted free cash flow excludes the cash proceeds received from the Bizkaia tax authorities during this year.
