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
€5bn 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 nearest 0.5%.
