We achieved a healthy topline growth and margin expansion despite significant headwinds, such as special consumption tax, higher commodity prices, and FX volatility. Throughout 2018, successful brand innovations, increasing portfolio availability in growing channels and accelerated cooler investments supported our growth while our revenue growth management capabilities enabled us to deliver success in a challenging macroeconomic environment.

In Pakistan and the Middle East, operating environment was tough in the second half of the year with political uncertainty and macroeconomic challenges. Nevertheless, we managed to deliver 7.3% volume growth in Pakistan in a year of structural transformation. We outperformed the overall Sparkling market growth on the back of continuous improvement in market execution and the inauguration of our Faisalabad plant in April.

In the scope of TFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, consideration payables to customers are accounted as reduction in revenue rather than being accounted as selling, distribution and marketing expenses since the expenses are undertaken by customers. In this context, total cash concession impact of TL 129 million and TL 141 million were reflected to “Sales Discounts” for 2017 and 2018, respectively. If there has been no accounting change, 2018 net sales revenue would have been TL 10,764 million.

In Pakistan, volume increased by 7.3% in FY18, cycling 3.5% growth in FY17.

Financial Overview

In FY18,

  • Net sales revenue ("NSR") rose by 26.6%, mainly driven by Turkey operation and the positive FX conversion impact of International operations. On an FX-neutral[(1)] basis, consolidated NSR was up by 12.8%, mainly driven by volume growth, pricing and favorable sales mix. Turkey’s better than expected NSR growth more than offset the lower than expected contribution of international operations; thus, resulting in a consolidated FX-neutral[(1)] NSR growth ahead of our guidance range of 10-12% for 2018.

In Turkey, NSR was up by 18.7%, mainly led by price adjustments, better portfolio mix and strong volume growth in the Sparkling category. NSR per unit case grew by 13.3%, reflecting our focus on affordability and better sales mix driven by strong growth in Sparkling along with a higher share of IC packages.

In our International operations, NSR grew by 33.6%, or 7.7% on an FX-neutral basis. NSR growth was mainly attributable to strong volume growth in Pakistan and Central Asia, while NSR per unit case was flat, on an FX-neutral basis.

In our International operations, gross margin declined by 10 bps to 29.1%. The favorable impact of lower sugar prices was offset by higher prices of packaging materials, especially PET resin.

  • Non-controlling interest (minority interest) was TL-33 million in 2018 compared to TL-44 million in 2017, mostly driven by lower net income of Pakistan.

  • Effective tax rate was 35% in 2018 compared to 33% in 2017. The effective tax rate may vary depending on the different tax rates, the mix of taxable profits by country, non-deductible expenses, tax incentives and other one-off items.

  • Net income was TL 327 million in 2018 vs. TL 238 million in 2017. Higher operating profitability, lower net FX exposure in the balance sheet and positive impact (TL 288 million) of net investment hedging, more than offset the adverse impact of higher net FX losses due to the depreciation of TRY against USD.

* As of April 1, 2018, the Group designated USD 281 million of its USD 500 million USD denominated bond as a hedging instrument to hedge its foreign currency risk arising from the translation of net assets of its subsidiaries CCI Holland and Waha B.V., located in the Netherlands. Accordingly, gains and losses on the hedging instrument arising from changes in foreign currency valuation relating to the effective portion of the hedge are accounted under Equity in “Gains/(Losses) on Hedge” and under “Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) Related with Hedges of Net Investment in Foreign Operations” in Other Comprehensive Income Statement.

Functional and Presentation Currency

The majority of the consolidated foreign subsidiaries and joint venture are regarded as foreign operations since they are financially, economically and organizationally autonomous. In accordance with “IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, there has been a change in the functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries and joint venture from US Dollars ("USD") to the foreign subsidiaries' and joint ventures' local currencies effective from January 1, 2017. This was done considering the multinational structure of foreign operations and realization of most of their operations, by assessing the currency of the primary economic environment of foreign operations, the currency that influences sales prices for goods and services, the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained and the currency that mainly influences costs and other expenses for providing goods and services. The group has applied the change in functional currency prospectively, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS and the relevant Accounting Standards. All assets and liabilities are converted into the new functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the change. The resulting translated amounts for non-monetary items are treated as their historical cost.

Functional and presentation currency of the Company is Turkish Lira (TL).

Foreign Currency Translations

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are recorded in the consolidated income statement of the relevant period, as foreign currency loss or gain. Foreign currency translation rates announced by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey used by the Group’s subsidiaries in Turkey. USD amounts presented in the balance sheet are translated into TL with the official TL exchange rate for purchases of USD on December 31, 2018, USD 1,00 (full) = TL 5,2609 (December 31, 2017; USD 1,00 (full) = TL 3,7719). Furthermore, USD amounts in the income statement have been translated into TL, at the average TL exchange rate for purchases of USD for the period ended December 31, 2018 is USD 1,00 (full) = TL 4,8301 (December 31, 2017; USD 1,00 (full) = TL 3,6445).
