Our second quarter performance was another testament to the resilience of our operating model and the strength of our people. Despite the external challenges, our focus on quality growth and operational excellence have enabled us to navigate this volatile environment effectively.

We are happy to report a consolidated revenue of TL 36.6 billion in 2Q24. Our focus on revenue growth management combined with cost control has paid off, leading to a 487 bps year-over-year improvement (y/y) in our gross margin. EBIT margin improved by 104 bps y/y to 18.8%, while Earnings per Share (EPS) was \$0.66 in the quarter.

We managed to deliver \$2.58 Net Sales Revenue/uc before TAS 29 – the highest among the second quarters of the last decade, implying a growth of 3.6% y/y in \$ terms. Again, without TAS 29, our EBIT margin reached 20.4% - the highest second quarter margin of the last decade. This improvement reflects our ability to adapt to rapidly evolving market conditions, and drive efficiencies across the organization, while effectively locking in favorable hedges for commodities.

In 2Q24, Türkiye recorded 1.8% y/y volume growth, reaching 169 million uc. While Ramadan's pull-forward to 1Q capped y/y growth, effective trade promotions and active consumer marketing with UEFA Euro Cup activations have resulted in successful volume generation vs prior year and prior quarter. In international operations, we have recorded 0.1% y/y improvement after realizing 7.2% y/y decline in 1Q24.

Our purpose is to create value for all stakeholders. Hence, we are proud to share that our circular economy practices have been accredited by the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The IFC issued an umbrella loan of \$250 million to CCI in Türkiye, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Iraq, to reduce energy and water usage and to address the gender gap in our workplace, in line with our 2030 pledge.

Our disciplined approach to preserving balance sheet strength while maintaining flexibility, combined with our sustainable value generation has resulted in the reiteration of our BBB rating by Fitch despite the on-going economic and social volatility our markets are facing. This once again confirms our status as the highestrated entity in Türkiye.

Looking ahead to 2024, we remain cautiously optimistic but are revising our full-year guidance to better reflect current consumer sensitivities and on-going macroeconomic challenges. We now expect flat to low single digit volume growth on an organic basis and low 30% levels of FX neutral revenue growth. We will put relentless effort to deliver in line with our previous EBIT margin guidance of "flat vs previous year". We do, however, see risk of a slight decline in EBIT margin vs previous year, if the operating environment deteriorates further. Incorporating this, we amend our EBIT margin guidance as "slight decline to flat vs last year".

Thanks to our talented team dedicated to creating sustainable value, we are mindful of ongoing macroeconomic challenges. Yet, we are confident in our strategic direction, the favorable fundamentals of our operating countries, and our ability to adapt to changing market dynamics to ensure CCI's continued profitable growth in the mid to long term.

Operational Overview

Acquisition of 100% in Coca-Cola Bangladesh Beverages Limited ("CCBB") was completed on February 20th, 2024, and accordingly CCBB financial results are consolidated in our financials as of 1 March 2024. Therefore, all operational performance metrics presented in this release are on a reported basis (including CCBB), except indicated otherwise. Unit case data is not within the scope of independent audit.

Sales Volume

Following the 3.2% y/y volume decline recorded in 1Q24, CCI's consolidated volume in 2Q24 increased by 0.7% y/y, reaching 451 million unit cases ("uc"). Robust performance of Iraq and Azerbaijan; continued growth in Türkiye; and improved performance of Pakistan have paved the way for a better volume performance in the second quarter of the year. On an organic basis, excluding the impact of Bangladesh, CCI's volume would have been slightly down by 1.7%. Organic volume decline in 1Q24 was 4.1% y/y.

Category-wise, CCI continued to diversify its positioning between sparkling and the stills in line with our strategic direction. Accordingly, while sparkling volume slowed down by 1.6% y/y in 2Q24; stills volume continued its remarkable performance with 11.6% y/y improvement. This was also partly impacted by the fact that the international operations, where sparkling share is higher, had softer volumes. Consequently, the share of stills category – which includes iced teas, energy drinks and fruit juices – has further improved by 82bps y/y to 8.5% in 2Q24.

Quality mix focus continued in 2Q24 too with ongoing improvement in immediate consumption ("IC") package share and channel share. Accordingly, the share of IC packs increased by 289bps y/y in 2Q24, reaching 29.1%, on top of 133 bps improvement recorded in 2Q23. From a channel perspective, share of our volume in On-Premise increased by 53bps y/y, on top of 107bps surge realized in 2Q23.

Change (YoY) Breakdown Change (YoY) Breakdown
2Q24 2Q23 2Q24 2Q23 1H24 1H24
Sparkling -1.6% -9.0% 82.1% 84.0% -3.1% 81.4%
Stills 11.6% -0.2% 8.5% 7.6% 11.3% 8.8%
Water 14.3% -15.2% 9.5% 8.3% 8.0% 9.8%
Total 0.7% -8.9% 100% 100% -1.0% 100%

Totals may not add up due to rounding differences.

In 2Q24, Türkiye recorded 1.8% y/y volume growth, reaching 169 million uc. While Ramadan's pull-forward to 1Q capped y/y growth, effective trade promotions and active consumer marketing with UEFA Euro Cup activations have resulted in successful volume generation vs prior year and prior quarter. Continued focus on quality mix has yielded robust results fostering our strategic targets. Accordingly, in Türkiye, CCI recorded 5.7% y/y growth in Adult Sparkling Premium category including Schweppes; 27.2% y/y surge in Fuse Tea; 208bps y/y rise in the share of Traditional Trade and 155bps y/y improvement of IC package share – reaching 33.0%. Share of low/no sugar products in sparkling category has also advanced by 333bps y/y.

CCI recorded 0.1% y/y growth in International operations following 7.2% y/y decline in 1Q24. On an organic basis, second quarter volume was down by 3.7% y/y. Pakistan operations started to post better volume performance compared to previous four quarters. On a y/y basis, sales volume is only down by 5.1%, showing signs of normalization, considering 22.8% volume decline realized in 1Q24 y/y. Iraq and Azerbaijan continued to deliver strong results with 15.1% and 11.5% y/y growth, respectively.

In addition, our mix improvement strategies continued to deliver positive results in international operations too. Energy drinks category almost quadrupled with 3.6x y/y growth and Adult Sparkling Premium category including Schweppes posted 28.4% y/y improvement. IC share in international operations also surged by 365 bps y/y on top of 191 bps y/y expansion realized in 2Q23. In addition, the share of on-premise channel further advanced by 46 bps y/y.

In 2Q24, Uzbekistan sales volume was impacted by the introduction of excise tax as of 1st of April and high base of the same period last year. Accordingly, our volume declined by 6.6% y/y, cycling a robust 25.3% growth realized a year ago. Improved execution in the field continued to deliver strong results with cooler coverage reaching 77.3% vs 66.8% a year ago In addition, share of on-premise channel increased by 784bps y/y to 19%, the highest figure ever.

Kazakhstan, in line with our expectations, continued to be modest considering the lower consumer sentiment, move-back of foreign consumers to their countries, high base of last year and limited summer stocking - a practice that we undertake to keep up with summer demand, due to opening of our new plant. As such, we have recorded 10.2% y/y volume decline in 2Q24. The new plant in Kazakhstan will not only help with inventory management and capacity, but also create savings thanks to reduced distribution expenditures, faster delivery and better execution in the market, while generating higher production efficiencies. Despite softer volume performance, our volume market share in sparkling category has increased by 40 bps y/y as of June-end on a 12 month trailing basis vs last year.

Following the 22.8% volume reduction realized in 1Q24, Pakistan now recorded only 5.1% slow-down in 2Q24 vs same period last year – a result of both better macroeconomic environment and our commercial choices. Macroeconomic challenges continue to impact consumers' daily disposable income and affordability concerns impacting shopper preferences, yet the new economy management's actions started to show signs of improvement in inflation and consumer confidence. Accordingly, inflation in Pakistan has reduced to 12.6% as of June 2024 vs 29.4% a year ago and consumer confidence index improved by 4pp ytd. In addition, Pakistan and the IMF reached a three-year, \$7 billion aid package deal, which fosters cautious optimism for the rest of the year. In this context, we have posted 288bps y/y improvement in IC share, demonstrating our strength in daily execution.

Financial Overview

Based on the CMB's decision dated 28 December 2023 and numbered 81/1820 and the "Implementation Guide on Financial Reporting in High Inflation Economies" published by the POA with the announcement made on 23 November 2023, issuers and capital market institutions subject to financial reporting regulations applying Turkish Accounting/Financial Reporting Standards will apply inflation accounting by applying the provisions of TAS 29, starting from their annual financial reports for the accounting periods ending as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, an adjustment has been made in accordance with the requirements of TAS 29 ("Financial Reporting in High Inflation Economies") regarding the changes in the general purchasing power of the Turkish Lira. TAS 29 requirements require that financial statements prepared in the currency in circulation in the economy with high inflation be presented at the purchasing power of this currency at the balance sheet date and that the amounts in previous periods are rearranged in the same way. The indexing process was carried out using the coefficient obtained from the Consumer Price Index in Turkey published by the Turkish Statistical Institute ("TUIK").

The relevant figures for the previous reporting period are rearranged by applying the general price index so that comparative financial statements are presented in the unit of measurement valid at the end of the reporting period. Information disclosed for previous periods is also presented in the measurement unit valid at the end of the reporting period.

However, certain items from our financials are also presented without inflation adjustment for information purposes in order to give an idea of our performance relative to our 2024 forecasts, which we announced at the beginning of the year and which we stated were based on the financials without inflation adjustment. These unaudited figures are clearly labelled where relevant. All financial figures without such disclosure are reported in accordance with TAS29.

In 2Q24:

  • The net sales revenue ("NSR"), decreased by 6.9% year-over-year and reached 36.6 billion TL with 7.6% y/y NSR/uc decline during the period. Excluding the impact of inflation accounting, NSR and NSR/uc growth was recorded as 61.6% and 60.4%, respectively thanks to timely revenue growth management actions. In addition, \$-based NSR/uc before TAS 29 was realized as \$2.58 – the highest among the second quarters of the last decade, implying a growth of 3.6% y/y in \$ terms.
  • Türkiye recorded 6.4% and 8.0% NSR and NSR/uc decline in 2Q24, respectively. Without TAS 29 adjustments, NSR in Türkiye grew by 61.2% and NSR/uc realized as TL90.6 with 58.4% y/y improvement thanks to continued focus on quality mix, as both adult premium category continued its strong growth momentum and higher revenue yielding packages and channels grew faster vs others (155bps y/y improvement of IC package share and 208bps y/y rise in Traditional Channel share).
  • In the international operations, NSR was 7.1% lower y/y; while without the impact of TAS 29, NSR increased by 62.2% y/y. NSR/uc growth, on the other hand, realized as 62.0% y/y before TAS 29 in TL terms. Special focus on quality mix growth along positively impacted NSR in international operations, while due to macroeconomic challenges, price increases were either delayed or limited in certain markets. Nevertheless, international operations delivered \$2.4 NSR/uc – up by 4.6% vs same period last year before TAS 29.
Net Sales Revenue (TL mln) NSR per U.C. (TL)
2Q24 YoY Change 2Q24 YoY Change
Türkiye 15,721 -6.4% 92.9 -8.0%
International 20,925 -7.1% 74.2 -7.2%
Consolidated 36,600 -6.9% 81.1 -7.6%
  • Gross margin expanded by 487 bps to 38.1% y/y on a consolidated basis, mostly thanks to Türkiye's softer cost base. Without TAS 29, gross margin improvement on a consolidated level was 391 bps. In Türkiye, stronger TL against USD in real term basis, benign commodity pricesboth through hedges and spot market- , and positive channel & product mix, resulted in better cost environment. Accordingly, Türkiye's gross margin improved from 29.7% in 2Q23 to 41.9% in 2Q24. Our international operations' gross margin slightly declined by 55 bps to 35.4% mostly due to our mindful choice of limited pricing actions, especially in Pakistan, lower volumes and higher cost base in certain raw materials.
  • Our consolidated EBIT margin is up by 104 bps, reaching 18.8%, while without TAS 29 accounting, EBIT margin y/y improvement was 35 bps, tapping 20.4% - the highest 2Q EBIT margins realized in the last 10 years. EBIT/uc in USD terms also reached \$0.53 excluding TAS 29, marking the highest level among the second quarters of last decade.
  • The EBITDA margin improved by 249 bps to 22.7% in 2Q24. Without TAS 29 reporting, our EBITDA margin was 23.3% - up by 159 bps y/y.
  • Net financial expense, including lease payables related to TFRS 16, was (2,576) million TL in 2Q24 compared to (1,687) million TL in 2Q23 due to the rise in interest rates, which was mitigated by the decrease in FX loss due to higher share of local currency borrowings.
Financial Income / (Expense) (TL million) 2Q24 2Q23 1H24 1H23
Interest income 333 274 681 495
Interest expense (-) -2,120 -1,483 -4,129 -2,448

Other -473 1,884 460 2,470
Financial Income / (Expense) Net -2,576 -1,693 -3,817 -2,526
  • Non-controlling interest (minority interest) was 52 million TL in 2Q24, compared to 278 million TL in 2Q23. Full ownership of Pakistan operations resulted in lower minority interest.
  • Net profit is recorded as 5.4 billion TL in 2Q24 vs. 4.5 billion TL last year. The robust increase in net profit is mostly attributable to stronger operational profitability and monetary gains. Without TAS 29 accounting, net profit grew by 63.4% in TL terms, reaching 3.9 billion TL and USD EPS surging to \$0.5 – up by 5.5% y/y.
  • The free cash flow was (2.4) billion TL in 1H24 vs (3.2) billion TL of 1H23. Increased financial interest payments and higher investments in financial assets amid Bangladesh acquisition, we have still improved free cash flow y/y thanks to improvement in Net Working Capital ("NWC") management. Accordingly, NWC/NSR improved from 18.0% of June'23 to 4.3% as of June'24 thanks to extended payment terms and reduced days inventory outstanding, also cycling an unusually high base due to earthquake in Türkiye last year.

  • Capex was 5.6 billion TL as of June 2024. 19% of the total capital expenditure was related to the Türkiye operation, while 81% was related to international operations. Capex/Sales was realized at 8.5% in the first half.

  • Consolidated debt was 46.7 billion TL (USD 1.4 billion) by 30 June 2024 and consolidated cash was 25.5 billion TL (USD 777 million), bringing consolidated net debt to 21.2 billion TL (USD 642 million). Net Debt to consolidated EBITDA was 0.92x as of June 30, 2024.

  • As of June 30, 2024, including the USD 150 million of a hedging transaction, 65% of our consolidated financial debt is in USD, 4% in EUR, 21% in TL, and the remaining 10% in other currencies.
  • The average maturity of the consolidated debt portfolio is 2.9 years, and the maturity profile was as follows:

The forward looking guidance below is given on an organic basis and without any potential impact from the implementation of TAS 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies) and may change as per TAS 29. In order to provide a comparison with our previously shared guidance on Jan 8th 2024, we again release the below guidance based on historical figures (i.e. without TAS 29).

We revise our full year guidance on volume from "mid-single-digit growth" to "flat-to-lowsingle-digit growth" on the back of lower purchasing power expectation and cautious consumer sentiment both reflecting the combination of lingering economic challenges with sensitivities resulting from the on-going conflict in the Middle East.

We are committed to creating quality value through investing ahead of demand in our geographies, executing effectively in the store, implementing Revenue Growth Management (RGM) actions and robust marketing plans. Our focus remains intact: "over time growing per capita NARTD consumption and creating value through our Quality Growth Algorithm (EBITDA growth > Revenue Growth > Transaction growth > Volume growth)." Accordingly, in order to find the optimal balance between volume and value growth, we are cautious in taking price increases in this macroeconomically challenging environment and we rely more heavily on other RGM actions to deliver top line growth. Nevertheless, with revised volume guidance and slower than initially planned price increases, we also revise our FX-neutral Net Sales Revenue growth guidance to "low 30% growth" from "low 40s% growth".

Timely hedges resulting in tight COGS control combined with relentless focus on strict opex management enable us to deliver value in this challenging environment. Despite lower volume and our cautious stance on price increases, we will put relentless effort to deliver in line with our previous EBIT margin guidance of "flat vs previous year". We do, however, see risk of a slight decline in EBIT margin vs previous year, if the operating environment deteriorates further. Incorporating this potential risk to our guidance, we amend our EBIT margin guidance as "slight decline to flat vs last year".

Our company's expectations for 2024 are as follows (on an organic basis and without any potential impact from the implementation of inflation accounting):

Sales Volume - Revised:

Flat-to-Low-single-digit volume growth on a consolidated basis;

  • Low-to-Mid-single-digit growth in Türkiye
  • Low-single-digit volume decline in the international operations

Net Sales Revenue - Revised:

Low 30s percentage FX-neutral NSR growth

EBIT Margin - Revised:

Slight-decline-to-Flat vs previous year
