Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"We have had a fantastic start to the year, delivering strong top-line growth
and value share gains( 4 ). A huge thank you to all our colleagues. Our
thoughts are also with those affected by the conflict and suffering in
Ukraine. We join others across the world in calling for a return to peace.
"Together with The Coca-Cola Company and our other brand partners, our
relentless focus on our core brands, solid in-market execution and driving
price and mix delivered both volume and revenue ahead of 2019. Volume improved
strongly as consumers enjoyed the continued reopening of the away from home
channel, with resilient demand in the home channel and a record start to our
biggest ever activation in Indonesia during Ramadan.
"We remain well placed over 2022 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. And all done sustainably. We are
pleased to again be recognised amongst the Financial Times-Statista list of
Europe's Climate Leaders as we continue to make progress on our ambition to
reach net zero emissions by 2040.
"In the near-term, whilst we expect to see further volume and mix recovery, we
are mindful of a more uncertain outlook given accelerating inflationary
pressures. So, we continue to manage our key levers of pricing, promotional
spend and efficiencies across our business. Focused on driving operating
profit and cash, we are reaffirming our comparable operating profit growth of
6 to 9%, and guiding to delivering strong free cash flow of at least €1.5
billion in FY22. These commitments, combined with today's interim dividend
declaration demonstrate the strength and resilience of our business, as well
as our ability to deliver continued shareholder value."

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;
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 COVID-19 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, 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 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. 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 the beginning
of the period presented 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 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.
''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.
''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%.
