Milan, July 27th 2022-The Board of Directors of Davide Campari-Milano N.V. (Reuters CPRI.MI-Bloomberg CPR IM) approved the half year financial report at June 30th, 2022.
Bob Kunze-Concewitz, Chief Executive Officer: 'Overall, we had a very strong performance in the first half, particularly the high-margin aperitifs in European markets, thanks to strong underlying momentum and on-premise recovery, boosted by favorable weather conditions and pricing.
Looking at the remainder of 2022, though volatility and uncertainty remain due to the ongoing pandemic and geopolitical tensions, we remain positive on the underlying momentum of key brand-market combinations. Whilst our shipment performance is expected to reflect some temporary supply constraints, we expect to partially mitigate the less favorable sales mix and the accelerating inflationary pressures exacerbated by logistics costs, via planned price increases and operational efficiencies. We confirm our guidance of flat organic margin in EBIT-adjusted in 2022 on a full year basis(1) . Regarding the exchange rate effect, we expect a continued positive contribution driven by the US dollar. Looking at the medium term, whilst the current challenges persist, we expect to continue benefitting from the positive trends in consumer preferences which favour our brand portfolio due to its exposure to outperforming spirits categories and its pricing power and brand equity.'.

REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED SALES FOR THE FIRST HALF 2022 RESULTS
Group sales totalled €1,256.9 million, up +25.6% on a reported basis or +19.2% in organic terms (+12.5% in the second quarter). The perimeter effect was -0.5% while the FX effect was +6.9% (or €68.7 million) mainly driven by the strong US Dollar.
Analysis of organic change by geography:
- Sales in the Americas (44% of total Group sales) were up organically by +12.9%. The Group's largest market, the US, grew by +7.1%, thanks to continued growth across core brands and with a slight acceleration in Q2 despite a tough comparison base. Wild Turkey bourbon, Espolón, Aperol and Campari all grew double digits in the first half. Grand Marnier declined due to a tough comparison base and volumes constraints linked to glass availability. SKYY also declined. Canada grew by +4.5%. The rest of the region, including Jamaica, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, grew by double digits thanks to good consumption trends.
- Sales in Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa2 (30% of total Group sales) grew by +28.1%. The region's largest market, Italy, was up +29.6%, as positive trends continued in Q2 thanks to continued 'revenge conviviality' in the onpremise, boosted also by very good weather. The aperitifs registered strong growth driven by Aperol (+35.4%), Campari (+48.1%) and Crodino (+33.5%). The amari also grew strongly. France grew +4.9%, within the context of a tough comparison base, mainly driven by Aperol and Riccadonna. Other markets in the region registered a positive performance largely thanks to the on-premise recovery. GTR was up +110.7% with recovery of international travels, broadly recovering the shortfall to pre-pandemic level.

2 Includes Global Travel Retail.
- North, Central and Eastern Europe (19% of total Group sales) grew organically by +24.8%. Germany registered very strong growth of +34.8%, with continued outperformance in the second quarter thanks to resilient home consumption combined with a buoyant on-premise and favorable weather. The performance was largely led by the aperitifs, including the Aperol Spritz RTE. The UK grew by +18.5% mainly driven by Aperol and Magnum Tonic. The other markets in the region were also positive, largely led by the aperitifs, including Crodino, which continues to expand its international footprint.
- Sales in Asia Pacific (7% of total Group sales) grew organically by +7.8%. Australia grew +2.1% despite a slightly negative Q2, affected by very poor weather conditions and ocean freight constraints, which impacted in particular the availability of Wild Turkey RTD. The positive growth was largely driven by Campari and Wild Turkey bourbon. Other markets in the region registered an overall positive performance (+19.0%), in particular, South Korea (+124.7%). China was negative due to snap lockdowns in relation to the zero-Covid policy while Japan declined due to shipment phasing.
Analysis of organic change by brand:
- Global Priorities (60% of total Group sales) registered an organic growth of +22.2%. Aperol grew +37.3%, thanks to core Italy (+35.4%), Germany (+54.7%), France (+39.6%), Spain (+206.8%) and the US (+20.7%), as well as all other European markets. The performance was boosted also by favorable weather conditions. The Q2 performance was strong overall (+24.2%) despite the tough comparison base (Q2 2021 +69.5%), thanks to numerous activations across all markets and strong recruitment in the on-premise while sustained home-premise consumption remains. Campari delivered strong growth of +32.0% thanks to all major markets, including Italy (+48.1%), the US, Brazil, Jamaica, Germany, Nigeria and Spain. The brand continues to benefit from mixology trends, via proprietary cocktails such as the Negroni, Americano and Boulevardier as well as the success of the consumer-driven Campari spritz. Wild Turkey registered solid growth, up +18.1%, mainly driven by the core US market and Australia as well as South Korea. SKYY declined -4.1% largely due to the US and China, partly mitigated by other international markets. Grand Marnier was flattish after weak shipments in Q2 in the core US due to a tough comparison base and glass constraints. Jamaican rum portfolio grew +15.6% overall against a tough comparison base, driven by the favorable category trends in premium rum.
- Regional Priorities (23% of total Group sales) recorded a positive performance (+22.6%). Espolòn grew by double digits (+20.3%) despite a tough comparison base, thanks to the core US. The performance was boosted also by pricing. Crodino grew by strong double digits driven by strong growth in core Italy as well as seeding markets. The GlenGrant grew double digits driven by premiumisation, in particular in South Korea, China and GTR. The other brands such as the Italian specialities, the sparkling wines and vermouths (Cinzano, Mondoro and Riccadonna) and Aperol Spritz ready-to-enjoy all delivered positive results.
- Local Priorities (8% of total Group sales) grew +6.9% with positive performance of Campari Soda, Wild Turkey readyto-drink, SKYY ready-to-drink and Cabo Wabo. X-rated declined driven by weak performance in China due to snap lockdowns.
