DAMIAN GAMMELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAID:
"We are pleased to have delivered a great first-half. We achieved strong top
and bottom-line growth, gained value share and generated solid free cash flow.
Key to this was the continued recovery of restaurants, pubs, cafes and bars, a
return to travel and tourism for many consumers and a resilient home channel.
All underpinned by robust categories and the strength of our customer
relationships.
"Our focus on core brands, leading in-market execution and headline price and
mix delivered volume and revenue ahead of 2019. We shared in this success with
our retail customers, having delivered more revenue growth for them than any
of our peers. And we continued to make progress against our sustainability
commitments - using more recycled plastic in our bottles and reducing carbon
emissions from our supply chain.
"We remain confident in the resilience of our categories, despite a more
uncertain outlook, given macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility and higher
inflation. We continue to actively manage key levers of pricing and
promotional spend across our broad pack offering, alongside our focus on
efficiency. However, given our strong first-half, we are raising revenue,
operating profit and free cash flow guidance for FY22. This demonstrates the
strength of our business and ability to deliver continued shareholder value."

Q2 & H1 HIGHLIGHTS( 1 , 3 )
Revenue
Q2 Reported +26.0%; Q2 Pro forma +16.0%( 5 )
• Reported growth, in addition to the drivers below, reflects
the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil (completed 10 May 2021)

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 this document;
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, 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 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 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.
''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%.

Supplemental Financial Information - Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate was 25% and 46% for the six months ended 1 July 2022
and 2 July 2021, respectively, and 29% for the years ended 31 December 2021.
For the six months ending 1 July 2022, the effective tax rate reflects the
impact of having operations outside the UK which are taxed at rates other than
the statutory UK rate of 19%.
We expect our full year 2022 comparable effective tax rate to be between 22%

Principal Risks and Risk Factors
The principal risks and risk factors in our 2021 Integrated Report on Form
20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021 ('2021 Integrated Report') (pages 42
to 47 and 195 to 202 respectively) continue to represent our risks.
We recognize significant volatility as a result of the current geopolitical
and economic situation and see an upward trend for the Geodemographic
principal risk. Absent other material changes, for example geographic
expansion of the war in Ukraine, it is not deemed necessary to change any of
the other principal risk ratings included in our 2021 Integrated Report.
Our current assessment takes into account additional mitigation put in place
to address increased risk levels due primarily to:
• the war in Ukraine, which has impacted supply of raw
materials, supplies, finished goods, gas/oil/energy and increased cyber risks;
• economic impacts, including 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;
• political developments, including strikes, unrest, interest
rates, ESG and other regulation; and
• the continuing and evolving worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
Accordingly, changes in the risk levels and the respective mitigations put in
place to our principal risks and risk factors are provided below and
supplement the Principal Risks and Risk Factors in our 2021 Integrated Report.
Any or all of the Principal Risks and Risk Factors contained therein may be
exacerbated by unpredictable developments in the factors identified above and
in our Forward-Looking Statements set out on page 7 of this Half Year 2022
Interim Report.
The risks described in this report and in our 2021 Integrated Report are not
the only risks facing the Group. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future
results.
Potential risk from global economic downturn
We recognize the increased likelihood of a global economic downturn (e.g. a
recession) and have evaluated the impact on our business. While such a
fundamental development could impact our entire risk profile, we expect the
following principal risks to be primarily impacted (a discussion of our
respective mitigations is incorporated in the Principal Risk table below):
• Geodemographic
A prolonged war in Ukraine and an extension of the war zone to other countries
could exacerbate the risk of a global (raw) material, energy and gas crisis
and increase the risk of cyber-attacks, including state-sponsored attacks.
With the approaching autumn and winter season, COVID-19 cases could increase
across our territories and trigger governmental and societal counter measures,
including shutdowns, with additional negative impact on the affected countries
and their economic state.
• Economic and political conditions
Central banks across the world are looking to manage elevated levels of
inflation through increasing interest rates, which negatively impacts
investment and debt financing activities.
Disagreement with governmental actions to mitigate the effects of a recession
might lead to social unrest.
Elevated supply chain cost and continuously increasing prices with high
volatilities and deteriorating availability of goods and materials could put
the viability of some of our suppliers (and sub-suppliers) at risk.
• Market
The general economic environment might:
- require us to absorb supply cost increases without being able to
implement offsetting customer price increases,
- put the viability and independence of our existing customers at risk,
- lead our customers to promote and give preference to private label
versus our products,
- lead consumers with decreasing disposable income to divert to private
label and value packs and from the away-from-home to the home channel.
• People and Wellbeing
Our employees are impacted by inflation and increasing cost of living (e.g.
energy prices, basic food) which could lead to decreasing motivation, higher
absenteeism or strikes.
Potential risk from energy crisis
One of the global consequences of the war in Ukraine is potential
interruptions and shortages in the global energy supply, specifically the
natural gas supply in our territories. The impacts, including potential
increases in energy prices, are expected to be exacerbated during the
approaching colder seasons of the year in Europe. While an energy crisis could
impact our entire risk profile we expect the principal risks 'Economic and
political conditions' and 'Geodemographic' to be most impacted.
We are working to strengthen our resilience to manage this risk across our
territories. This work includes but is not limited to:
• Limiting our dependence on natural gas (from Russia) through
conversion to oil at selected sites which provides more supply options for
CCEP;
• Proactively managing supplier risks for gas in Germany,
Recycled/Virgin-PET, CO2, sugar, glass, cans and other critical supplies; and
• Reviewing and building up our contingency to ensure product
(SKU) supply, including through assessing different scenarios of gas rationing
across the EU.

Going Concern
As part of the Directors' consideration of the appropriateness of adopting the
going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, the Directors have considered the Group's financial performance in
the period and have taken into account its current cash position and its
access to a €1.95 billion undrawn committed credit facility. Further, the
Directors have considered the current cash flow forecast, including a downside
stress test, which supports the Group's ability to continue to generate cash
flows during the next 12 months.
On this basis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12
months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, the
condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis and the Directors do not believe there are any material
uncertainties to disclose in relation to the Group's ability to continue as a
going concern.
Responsibility Statement
The Directors of the Company confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
• The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for
the six months ended 1 July 2022 have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board, UK adopted International
Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of
the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (DTR).
• The interim management report includes a fair review of the
information required by the DTR 4.2.7 R and DTR 4.2.8 R as follows:
• DTR 4.2.7 R: (1) an indication of important events that have
occurred during the first six months of the financial year, and their impact
on the condensed set of financial statements, and (2) a description of the
principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the
financial year; and
• DTR 4.2.8 R: (1) related parties transactions that have taken
place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have
materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group
during that period, and (2) any changes in the related parties transactions
described in the last annual report that could have a material effect on the
financial position or performance of the Group in the first six months of the
current financial year.
The Directors of the Company are shown on pages 67-71 in the 2021 Integrated
Report and Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Independent Review Report to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 1 July
2022 which comprises the condensed Consolidated Interim Income Statement,
Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed
Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, Condensed Consolidated
Interim Statement of Cash Flows, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of
Changes in Equity and the related explanatory notes 1 - 13. We have read the
other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies
with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 1 July 2022 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34,
"Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board, U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by
the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting
Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making
enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us
to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are
prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards,
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the
European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The condensed set of
financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board and U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting".
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed
in an audit as described in the Basis of Conclusion section of this report,
nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have
inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that
management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern
that are not appropriately disclosed.
This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with
this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease
to continue as a going concern.
Responsibilities of the directors
The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report
in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible
for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to
liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative
but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information
In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the
Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the
half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions
Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive
than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of
this report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance
contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other
than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Note 1
GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(together CCEP, or the Group) are a leading consumer goods group in Western
Europe and the Asia Pacific region, making, selling and distributing an
extensive range of primarily non-alcoholic ready to drink beverages.
The Company has ordinary shares with a nominal value of €0.01 per share
(Shares). CCEP is a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the
laws of England and Wales with the registered number in England of 09717350.
The Group's Shares are listed and traded on Euronext Amsterdam, the NASDAQ
Global Select Market, London Stock Exchange and on the Spanish Stock
Exchanges. The address of the Company's registered office is Pemberton House,
Bakers Road, Uxbridge, UB8 1EZ, United Kingdom.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not constitute
statutory accounts as defined by Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. They
have been reviewed but not audited by the Group's auditor. The statutory
accounts for the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021, which were
prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards,
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European
Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The auditor's opinion on those accounts was
unqualified and did not contain a statement made under section 498 (2) or (3)
of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board, the U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and should be read in conjunction
with our 2021 consolidated financial statements. The annual financial
statements of the Group for the year-ended 31 December 2022 will be prepared
in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards,
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European
Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The accounting policies applied in these interim condensed consolidated
financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of
the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31
December 2021. The policy for recognising income taxes in the interim period
is consistent with that applied in previous interim periods and is described
in Note 11.
Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but
do not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements of the Group.
As disclosed in the notes to the Group's consolidated financial statements as
at and for the year ended 31 December 2021 (refer to Note 4 "Business
combinations"), short term time deposits and treasury bills with maturities of
greater than three months and less than one year acquired as part of the CCL
acquisition have been reclassified and presented as short term investments.
The impact on the comparative condensed consolidated interim statement of cash
flows for the six months ended 2 July 2021 was a net reduction in cash flows
from investing activities of €138 million (including net proceeds from short
term investments of €118 million) and a reduction in cash and cash
equivalents of €138 million. There was a corresponding increase in short
term investments of €138 million as at 2 July 2021.
Reporting periods
Results are presented for the interim period from 1 January 2022 to 1 July
2022.
The Group's financial year ends on 31 December. For half-yearly reporting
convenience, the first six month period closes on the Friday closest to the
end of the interim calendar period. There was one less selling day in the six
months ended 1 July 2022 versus the six months ended 2 July 2021, and there
will be equal selling days in the second six months of 2022 versus the second
six months of 2021 (based upon a standard five-day selling week).
The following table summarises the number of selling days, for the years ended
31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 (based on a standard five-day selling
week):
Half year Full year
2022 130 260
2021 131 261
Change -1 -1
Comparability
The COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures have had and may continue
to have an adverse effect on global economic conditions, as well as our
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. At this
time, we cannot predict the degree to which, or the time period over which,
our business will continue to be affected by COVID-19 and the related response
measures. These impacts limit the comparability of these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements with prior periods.
In addition, operating results for the first half of 2022 may not be
indicative of the results expected for the year ended 31 December 2022 as
sales of the Group's products are seasonal. In Europe, the second and third
quarters typically account for higher unit sales of the Group's products than
the first and fourth quarters. In the Group's Asia Pacific territories, the
fourth quarter would typically reflect higher sales volumes in the year. The
seasonality of the Group's sales volume, combined with the accounting for
fixed costs such as depreciation, amortisation, rent and interest expense,
impacts the Group's results for the first half of the year. Additionally,
year-over-year shifts in holidays, selling days and weather patterns can
impact the Group's results on an annual or half-yearly basis.
Exchange rates
The Group's reporting currency is the Euro. CCEP translates the income
statements of non-Euro functional currency subsidiary operations to the Euro
at average exchange rates and the balance sheets at the closing exchange rate
as at the end of the period.
The principal exchange rates used for translation purposes in respect of one
Euro were:

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On 10 May 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares
of API (the Acquisition). API was one of the largest bottlers and
distributors of ready to drink non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages and
coffee in the Asia Pacific region and was the authorised bottler and
distributor of The Coca-Cola Company's (TCCC) beverage brands in Australia,
New Zealand and Pacific Islands, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Details
surrounding this business combination transaction, including the provisional
fair values of assets and liabilities acquired, were disclosed in Note 4 of
the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2021. The valuation exercise was completed during the first half of
2022. Subsequent changes to the provisional amounts previously disclosed are
immaterial.
Note 3
OPERATING SEGMENTS
Description of segments and principal activities
The Group derives its revenues through a single business activity, which is
making, selling and distributing an extensive range of primarily non-alcoholic
ready to drink beverages. The Group's Board continues to be its Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which allocates resources and evaluates
performance of its operating segments based on volume, revenue and comparable
operating profit. Comparable operating profit excludes items impacting the
comparability of period over period financial performance.

respectively, for the six months ended 1 July 2022. Comparable depreciation
and amortisation charges for the six months ended 2 July 2021 totalled
€285 million and €36 million, for Europe and API respectively.
( 2 ) Items impacting the comparability of period-over-period financial
performance for 2022 primarily include restructuring charges of €95 million,
partially offset by net insurance recoveries received of €12 million arising
from the July 2021 flooding events. Items impacting the comparability for 2021
included restructuring charges of €92 million, acquisition and integration
related costs of €40 million, inventory fair value step up related to
acquisition accounting of €48 million and a positive impact of the closure
of the GB defined benefit pension scheme of €9 million.

Note 4
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit after taxes by the
weighted average number of Shares in issue and outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the
effect of dilutive securities, principally share options, restricted stock
units and performance share units. Share-based payment awards that are
contingently issuable upon the achievement of specified market and/or
performance conditions are included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation based on the number of Shares that would be issuable if the end of
the period was the end of the contingency period.
The following table summarises basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations for the periods presented:
Six Months Ended
1 July 2022 2 July 2021
Profit after taxes attributable to equity shareholders (€ million) 667 244
Basic weighted average number of Shares in issue( 1 ) (million) 457 455
Effect of dilutive potential Shares( 2 ) (million) 1 2
Diluted weighted average number of Shares in issue( 1 ) (million) 458 457
Basic earnings per share (€) 1.46 0.54
Diluted earnings per share (€) 1.46 0.53
( 1 ) As at 1 July 2022 and 2 July 2021, the Group had 456,789,240 and
455,853,051 Shares, respectively, in issue and outstanding.
( 2 ) For the six months ended 1 July 2022 and 2 July 2021, there were no
outstanding options to purchase Shares excluded from the diluted earnings per
share calculation. The dilutive impact of the remaining options outstanding,
unvested restricted stock units and unvested performance share units was
included in the effect of dilutive securities.

FAIR VALUES AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair Value Measurements
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in
the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are categorised in the
fair value hierarchy as described in our 2021 consolidated financial
statements.
The fair values of the Group's cash and cash equivalents, short term
investments, trade accounts receivable, amounts receivable from related
parties, trade and other payables, and amounts payable to related parties
approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
The fair values of the Group's borrowings are estimated based on borrowings
with similar maturities and credit quality and current market interest rates.
These are categorised in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the Group uses
certain pricing models and quoted prices for similar liabilities in active
markets in assessing their fair values. The total fair value of borrowings as
at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021, was €11.6 billion and €13.3 billion,
respectively. This compared to the carrying value of total borrowings as at 1
July 2022 and 31 December 2021 of €12.6 billion and €13.1 billion,
respectively. Refer to Note 8 for further details regarding the Group's
borrowings.
The Group's derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, which
is determined using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the
specific characteristics of the hedging instrument taking into account credit
risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options,
cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps) are determined using standard
valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily
available in public markets or can be derived from observable market
transactions and, therefore, the derivative contracts have been classified as
Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable
spot, forward, and discount rates. The standard valuation model for the option
contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual
options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource.
As at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021, the total value of derivative assets
was €573 million and €376 million, respectively. As at 1 July 2022 and 31
December 2021, the total value of derivative liabilities was €202 million
and €66 million, respectively. During the period, €8 million of gains have
been recorded within Other Comprehensive Income, primarily related to
increases in fair value on commodity related hedging instruments.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by
re-assessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period. There have
been no transfers between levels during the periods presented.
Financial Instruments Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Group's activities expose it to several financial risks including market
risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Financial risk activities are governed
by appropriate policies and procedures to minimise the uncertainties these
risks create over the Group's future cash flows. Such policies are developed
and approved by the Group's Treasury and Commodities Risk Committee through
the authority provided to it by the Group's Board of Directors. There have
been no changes in the risk management policies since the year end.

Note 11
TAXES
Taxes on income in interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would
be applicable to the expected total annual profit or loss.
The effective tax rate (ETR) was 25% and 46% for the six months ended 1 July
2022 and 2 July 2021, respectively, and 29% for the year ended 31 December
2021. The ETR has been calculated by applying the weighted average annual ETR,
excluding discrete items, of 25% and 22% to the profit before tax for the six
months ended 1 July 2022 and 2 July 2021, respectively.
The ETR of 25% which is higher than statutory UK rate reflects the impact of
having operations outside the UK which are taxed at rates other than the
statutory UK rate of 19%.
The following table summarises the major components of income tax expense for
the periods presented:
1 July 2022 2 July 2021
€ million € million

Income tax charge per the consolidated income statement 223 209
Tax Provisions
The Group is routinely under audit by taxing authorities in the ordinary
course of business. Due to their nature, such proceedings and tax matters
involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings,
settlements between affected parties and/or governmental actions. The
probability of outcome is assessed and accrued as a liability and/or
disclosed, as appropriate. The Group maintains provisions for uncertainty
related to these tax matters that it believes appropriately reflect its risk.
As at 1 July 2022, €154 million of these provisions is included in current
tax liabilities and the remainder is included in non-current tax liabilities.
There has been no material change in tax provisions since 31 December 2021.
The Group reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each
reporting period and adjusts them based on changing facts and circumstances.
Due to the uncertainty associated with tax matters, it is possible that at
some future date, liabilities resulting from audits or litigation could vary
significantly from the Group's provisions. When an uncertain tax liability is
regarded as probable, it is measured on the basis of the Group's best
estimate.
The Group has received tax assessments in certain jurisdictions for potential
tax related to the Group's purchases of concentrate. The value of the Group's
concentrate purchases is significant, and therefore, the tax assessments are
substantial. The Group strongly believes the application of tax has no
technical merit based on applicable tax law, and its tax position would be
sustained. Accordingly, the Group has not recorded a tax liability for these
assessments and is vigorously defending its position against these
assessments.

Restructuring charges of approximately €81 million associated with these
initiatives have been recorded during the six months ended 1 July 2022
primarily related to expected severance costs.
Commitments
There have been no significant changes in the commitments of the Group since
31 December 2021. Refer to Note 23 of the 2021 consolidated financial
statements for further details about the Group's commitments.
Contingencies
There have been no significant changes in contingencies since 31 December
2021. Refer to Note 23 of the 2021 consolidated financial statements for
further details about the Group's contingencies.
On 24 July 2020, a CCEP subsidiary 'Associated Products & Distribution
Proprietary Limited' (APD), was joined to proceedings in the Supreme Court of
Queensland between a Glencore joint venture and the State of Queensland,
whereby APD's entitlement to royalties, from its sub-surface strata and
associated mineral rights, has been challenged by the State of Queensland.
Since 2014 and through to 24 July 2020, CCEP has received and recognised
approximately €50 million in royalties. Effective the commencement of the
proceedings, royalties have been paid directly to court and/or state
government, which amounted to approximately €33 million as at 1 July 2022
and have not been recognised by the Group. If the Group is able to
successfully defend the claim, it will be entitled to the past and future
royalty payments arising from the ownership of the mineral rights. The
proceedings remain ongoing and the Group intends to defend the matter
robustly.
Note 13
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
In connection with the ongoing dispute in Spain regarding the refund of
historical VAT amounts, €218 million of VAT receivable and related interest
is classified within Other non-current assets as at 1 July 2022. On 29 July
2022, the Arbitration Board provided a ruling which, based on our current
interpretation, indicates the regional tax authorities of Bizkaia (Basque
Region) as responsible for refunding CCEP. As at the time of issuance of
these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, there is
uncertainty on the timing of the refund and we consider that the non-current
classification remains appropriate. We believe it remains a certainty that
the amount due will be refunded to CCEP.
