Selected explanatory notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements (unaudited) 
 
1.      Accounting policies 
 
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements of  Coca-Cola HBC AG ('Coca-Cola HBC', the
'Company' or the 'Group') are consistent with those used in the annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, except for the
adoption, as of 1 January 2014, the amendment to IAS 32 Financial Statement
Presentation, on asset and liability offsetting; amendment to IAS 36
Impairment of assets, on recoverable amount disclosures; amendment to IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, on novation of
derivatives, and IFRIC 21 Levies. The adoption of the new interpretation and
amended standards did not have a significant impact on the current or prior
periods. 
 
Basis of preparation 
 
Operating results for the second quarter of 2014 are not indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending 31 December 2014 because of
business seasonality. Business seasonality results from higher unit sales of
the Group's products in the warmer months of the year. The Group's methods of
accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation and interest expense are not
significantly affected by business seasonality. 
 
Costs that are incurred unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or
deferred in the interim report only if it would also be appropriate to
anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the financial year. 
 
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that
would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss. 
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to Interim
Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). These condensed consolidated interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the 2013 annual financial
statements, which include a full description of the Group's accounting
policies. 
 
Exchange rates 
 
The Group's reporting currency is the euro (E). Coca-Cola HBC translates the
income statements of subsidiary operations to the euro at average exchange
rates and the balance sheet at the closing exchange rate for the period,
except for subsidiaries operating in a hyperinflationary environment as
explained in Note 8. 
 
The principal exchange rates used for transaction and translation purposes in
respect of one euro were:

Total net finance costs for the second quarter and first half of 2014 were
lower by E11.3 million and E10.5 million respectively, compared to the same
prior year periods, mainly due to the one-off impact of the tender of the E500
million Bond (fully repaid in January) incurred in June 2013. 
 
Hyperinflation 
 
Belarus has been considered to be a hyperinflationary economy since the fourth
quarter of 2011. The three year cumulative inflation exceeded 100% and
therefore Belarus was consolidated in terms of the measuring unit at the
balance sheet date and translated at the closing exchange rate. The
restatement was based on conversion factors derived from the Belarus Consumer
Price Index (CPI) as compiled by the National Statistical Committee of the
Republic of Belarus. The conversion factor used for June 2014 was 1.101 which
resulted in a net monetary loss for the first half of 2014 of E2.5 million.

9.      Tax 
 
The Group's effective tax rate for 2014 may differ from the parent company
statutory tax rate as a consequence of a number of factors, the most
significant of which are: the statutory tax rates of the countries in which
the Group operates, the non-deductibility of certain expenses, non-taxable
income and one off tax items. 
 
10.    Earnings per share 
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable
to the owners of the parent by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period (second quarter of 2014: 364,284,408, first half
of 2014: 364,287,740, second quarter of 2013: 363,203,865, first half of 2013:
363,164,293). Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of
all dilutive ordinary shares arising from exercising employee stock options. 
 
11.    Share capital 
 
On 25 April 2013, Coca-Cola HBC acquired 96.85% (355,009,014 shares) of the
issued Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company SA ("CCHBC SA") shares, including
shares represented by American depositary shares, following the successful
completion of its voluntary share exchange offer and became the new parent
company of the Group. 
 
On 17 June 2013, Coca-Cola HBC completed its statutory buy-out of the
remaining shares of CCHBC SA that it did not acquire upon completion of its
voluntary share exchange offer. Consequently, CCHBC SA is now a 100% owned
subsidiary of Coca-Cola HBC. Out of the remaining 3.15% interest acquired in
CCHBC SA, representing 11,544,493 shares, 11,467,206 shares were exchanged for
equal number of Coca-Cola HBC shares and 77,287 shares were acquired for a
cash consideration of E1.0 million. 
 
In 2013, the share capital of Coca-Cola HBC increased by the issue of
1,199,080 new ordinary shares following the exercise of stock options pursuant
to the Coca-Cola HBC AG's employees' stock option plan. Total proceeds from
the issuance of the shares under the stock option plan amounted to E16.4
million. 
 
In the first quarter of 2014, the share capital of Coca-Cola HBC increased by
the issue of 38,245 new ordinary shares following the exercise of stock
options pursuant to the Coca-Cola HBC AG's employees' stock option plan. Total
proceeds from the issuance of the shares under the stock option plan amounted
to E0.4 million. 
 
In the second quarter of 2014, the share capital of Coca-Cola HBC increased by
the issue of 18,663 new ordinary shares following the exercise of stock
options pursuant to the Coca-Cola HBC AG's employees' stock option plan. Total
proceeds from the issuance of the shares under the stock option plan amounted
to E0.2 million. 
 
Following the above changes, and including 3,445,060 ordinary shares held as
treasury shares, out of which 14,925 shares represent the initial ordinary
shares of Coca-Cola HBC, on 27 June 2014 the share capital of the Group
amounted to E1,997.7 million and comprised 367,747,133 shares with a nominal
value of CHF 6.70 each. 
 
12.    Non-controlling interests 
 
On 8 June 2011, the Board of Directors of the Coca-Cola HBC's subsidiary
Nigerian Bottling Company plc ("NBC") resolved to propose a scheme of
arrangement between NBC and its minority shareholders, involving the
cancellation of part of the share capital of NBC. The transaction was approved
by the Board of Directors and General Assembly of NBC on 8 June 2011 and 22
July 2011 respectively and resulted in the acquisition of the remaining 33.6%
of the voting shares of NBC bringing the Group's interest in the subsidiary to
100%. The transaction was completed in September 2011 and NBC was de-listed
from the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The consideration for the acquisition of non
controlling interests was E100.2million, including transaction costs of
E1.8million, out of which E75.2 million was paid as of 27 June 2014 (as of 31
December 2013: E75.2 million). The difference between the consideration and
the carrying value of the interest acquired (E60.1million) has been recognised
in retained earnings while the accumulated components recognised in other
comprehensive income have been reallocated within the equity of the Group. 
 
On 14 January 2013, the Group acquired 14% of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling
Company Bulgaria AD, bringing the Group's interest in the subsidiary to
99.39%. The consideration paid for the acquisition of non controlling
interests acquired was E13.3 million and the carrying value of the additional
interest acquired was E8.2 million. The difference between the consideration
and the carrying value of the interest acquired has been recognised in
retained earnings.

18.    Recent developments in Ukraine and the Russian Federation 
 
We disclosed in our financial statements and annual report for the year ended
31 December 2013 information on the recent events involving Ukraine and the
Russian Federation, including those related to the Crimean peninsula, which
have among other things resulted in the depreciation of the Russian Ruble and
the Ukrainian Hryvnia. The ongoing situation in Ukraine and the Russian
Federation, and any further economic sanctions that may be imposed on the
Russian Federation by the US and the European Union, could adversely affect
the Group's operational and financial performance. We are continuously
monitoring developments in that region.

Explanatory Notes 
 
Adjusted EBITDA 
 
The Group defines Adjusted EBITDA as operating profit before deductions for
depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment, amortisation of
intangible assets, impairment of intangible assets, stock option compensation
and other non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA serves as an additional indicator of
the Group's operating performance and not as a replacement for measures such
as cash flows from operating activities and operating profit as defined and
required under IFRS. The Group believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to
investors as a measure of its operating performance because it reflects the
underlying operating cash costs by eliminating the non-cash items listed
above. In addition, the Group believes that although EBITDA is a measure
commonly used by analysts and investors in its industry, current shareholders
of CCH and potential investors in CCH use multiples of the Group's Adjusted
EBITDA in making investment decisions about CCH. Accordingly, the Group has
disclosed this information to permit a more complete analysis of its operating
performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Group, may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 
 
Capital expenditure 
 
The Group defines capital expenditure as payments for purchases of property,
plant and equipment, net of proceeds from sale of property, plant and
equipment, including principal repayments of finance lease obligations. 
 
Free cash flow 
 
The Group defines free cash flow as the net cash from operating activities
less capital expenditures. 
 
The financial measures adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditure and free cash flow
consist of the following reported amounts in the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements:
