Strong on-premise recovery in Europe, benefiting in particular the high-margin aperitif portfolio
FIRST QUARTER 2022-RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS
Milan, May 3rd 2022-The Board of Directors of Davide Campari-Milano N.V. (Reuters CPRI.MI-Bloomberg CPR IM) approved the additional financial information as of March 31st, 2022.
Bob Kunze-Concewitz, Chief Executive Officer: 'Overall we had a very solid start to the year with continuing underlying momentum and strong on-premise recovery in Europe. This positive performance was amplified also by phasing and easy comparison bases in a low seasonality quarter.
Looking at the remainder of 2022, we remain confident about the continued strong business momentum across our key brands and markets. Meanwhile, the overall performance will reflect the effects of a gradual normalization of the shipments due to phasing, different comparison bases throughout the rest of the year and the conflict in Ukraine. Concomitantly, volatility and uncertainty remain due to the ongoing pandemic and geopolitical tensions. We confirm our guidance of flat organic EBIT margin in 2022(1) as we will leverage adequate price increases and positive mix to mitigate the expected intensification of the inflationary pressure on input costs.'.

Analysis of organic change by brand3:
Gross profit totalled €311.6 million, corresponding to 58.3% of net sales, up by +34.5% in value on a reported basis. It grew organically by +28.7%, leading to -30 basis points margin dilution as the positive sales mix driven by the high-margin aperitifs was able to largely offset the dilutive effect of increased input costs.
Advertising and Promotion expenses (A&P) were €79.2 million, corresponding to 14.8% of net sales, up by +26.6% in value on a reported basis. They increased organically by +20.3%, reflecting sustained investments behind key brands, lower than net sales growth hence accretive on margins by +110 basis points.
CAAP (Contribution after A&P) was €232.4 million, corresponding to 43.4% of net sales, up by +37.5% in value on a reported basis and up +31.8% organically.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totalled €118.1 million, corresponding to 22.1% of net sales, up by +17.5% in value on a reported basis. They grew organically by +13.6%, lower than net sales, hence generating a margin accretion of +310 basis points.
EBIT-adjusted was €114.3 million, corresponding to 21.4% of net sales, up by +66.8% in value on a reported basis. It grew organically by +58.5%, generating an accretion of +390 basis points. The perimeter effect on EBIT-adjusted was -0.5% (or -€0.3 million), mainly due to the discontinuation of agency brands.
