COMMENTS FROM THE CEO, KARIM YAHI

In the first quarter of 2024, despite a challenging context, CCI once again created value thanks to our winning capabilities, resilient operating model and the quality of our people.

We achieved remarkable milestones, including a record-breaking \$2.6 NSR/uc and an impressive EBIT margin of 16.1% (before TAS29 adjustments). These figures represent the highest levels achieved in the first quarters of the past decade; and are a testimony to our ability to deliver results amidst volatility and uncertainty.

We are proud to report a consolidated revenue of TL 27.2 billion in 1Q24, marking a 2.9% year-on-year (y/y) improvement with a 247 basis points (bps) gross profit margin expansion and a flattish EBIT margin. Without the impact of TAS29, our FX Neutral NSR growth was in the high thirties, and our EBIT margin expansion was slightly north of 100 bps, signaling our path to delivery is in line with our guidance at the start of the year.

In the first quarter of 2024, Türkiye achieved a 5.4% y/y increase in sales volume due to the combination of more assertive consumer marketing campaigns in collaboration with The Coca-Cola Company, effective trade promotions, Ramadan occurring earlier in March compared to the previous year, a low base and improvements in the purchasing power of Turkish consumers following salary adjustments in January.

During the period, international operations experienced a decline of 7.2% y/y, following a robust growth of 14.7% y/y during the same period last year. While Uzbekistan, Iraq, and Azerbaijan demonstrated strong volume performance with increases of 22.5%, 24.3%, and 15.4% y/y respectively, the slowdown in total international volumes was primarily attributed to Pakistan and Kazakhstan, both cycling a strong base from the same period of last year, while Pakistan is still facing macroeconomic duress.

Uzbekistan maintained its impressive momentum with a 22.5% year-on-year volume growth, owing to our persistent focus on execution excellence. Since acquiring the operations in Uzbekistan, we have significantly expanded outlet coverage from 42% to 91% and increased the number of coolers in the market by sixfold. As a result, we've experienced strong volume growth and are optimistic about the future, especially with the launch of a new greenfield plant in Samarkand, which commenced production last week.

Looking ahead at 2024, in a testing context, our dedication to creating sustainable value and returns for our shareholders remains unwavering.

2024 Guidance

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).

Year-on-year changes are based on 2023 financials without inflation accounting and may change as per TAS 29.

In 2023, we faced several challenges in our operating environment, with some already incorporated into our business plans and others proving more severe than expected. As previously communicated and detailed in our FY23 volume announcement, the devastating earthquake in Türkiye and macroeconomic headwinds in Pakistan led to softer-than-anticipated volumes throughout the year. Nonetheless, we maintained a strong commitment to creating value and worked diligently to increase per capita consumption in our geographies through effective Revenue Growth Management actions and robust marketing initiatives.

Looking ahead into 2024, we will continue to leverage our diversified brand portfolio, execution capabilities, and expertise in operating in emerging and frontier markets. Our focus remains intact: "building per capita NARTD consumption and creating value through Quality Growth Algorithm."

Although coming down from its peak levels, CCI expects inflation to remain relatively high in 2024, especially in Türkiye and Pakistan. Our dynamic pricing and effective mix optimization, disciplined cost and expense management, along with proactive procurement and hedging initiatives will support the delivery of Quality Growth Algorithm: growing revenue ahead of volume and operating profit ahead of revenue in 2024 as well.

CCI will continue to invest ahead of demand to maximize future value. Besides the addition of new lines and digitization in various operations, CCI expects its two new plants in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to be operational in 2024.

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:

Mid-single digit volume growth on a consolidated basis; Mid-single digit growth both in Türkiye and in the international operations Net Sales Revenue: Low-40s percentage FX-neutral NSR growth EBIT Margin: Flat vs previous year

Announcement Regarding the Acquisition of Coca-Cola Bangladesh Beverages Limited

Coca-Cola İçecek ("CCI" or "Our Company") - together with its wholly owned subsidiary CCI International Holland B.V. ("CCIHBV") - and a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company ("TCCC"), today signed a share purchase agreement ("SPA") for the acquisition of 100% shares in Coca-Cola Bangladesh Beverages Limited ("CCBB"), where CCIHBV will be the main direct shareholder. CCBB is one of the two companies involved in the production, sale, and distribution of sparkling and still brands of The Coca-Cola Company in Bangladesh.

As per the Agreement, CCI will acquire 100% of CCBB shares for an equity value ("Equity Value") to be calculated by subtracting the estimated net financial debt of CCBB as of the closing date from an enterprise value of USD 130 million. The Equity Value will be subject to a post-closing price adjustment mechanism following the completion of a closing audit to determine the exact net financial debt amount of CCBB as of the closing date. The acquisition is expected to be financed by CCIHBV's existing cash resources and will have a modest impact on CCI's net leverage.

About CCBB:

CCBB is one of the two Coca-Cola bottlers operating in Bangladesh. Established in 2009, CCBB serves approximately 100 million consumers in Bangladesh's Rangpur, Raj Shahi, Mymensingh and Dhaka regions. CCBB offers consumers sparkling and still brands of The Coca-Cola Company with more than three hundred employees, one bottling plant and three main warehouses. CCBB serves approximately three hundred thousand points of sale and partners with close to five hundred distributors. Sparkling soft drinks account for most of CCBB's total sales, while the remainder of its product portfolio consists of the water category. In the past 5 years, CCBB has continuously strengthened its competitive position in the market to become market leader in the sparkling category with 45.3% value market share as of 2023.

Commenting on the acquisition, Karim Yahi, CEO of CCI said, "We are very pleased to sign the share purchase agreement to acquire CCBB, which we see as a great opportunity to enter a market with significant future potential, where growth and value can be generated by deploying CCI's core capabilities. This acquisition also creates a more diverse geographical footprint for CCI and solidifies its alignment with TCCC."

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.

Sales Volume

CCI's consolidated volume in 1Q24 was down by 3.2% vs last year, reaching 341 million unit cases ("uc"), and cycling 6.3% volume growth realized in 1Q23. On an organic basis, excluding the one-month impact of Bangladesh, CCI's volume decline would have been 4.1%. While Türkiye, Uzbekistan and Iraq operations posted strong volume improvement with 5.4%, 22.5% and 24.3% y/y increase, respectively, Pakistan softened the volume performance amid ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and high base from the same period last year (13.6% y/y growth realized in 1Q23).

While sparkling volume slowed down by 5.1% after a robust 9.5% 1Q23 y/y growth; stills volume continued its remarkable performance with 11.0% y/y improvement. In the end, the share of stills category – which includes iced teas, energy drinks and fruit juices – has advanced by 118bps y/y to 9.2%.

Apart from the category mix improvements, immediate consumption ("IC") package share continued its upward trend in 1Q24 too, with 212bps y/y growth, reaching 26.4%. From a channel perspective, share of our volume in On-Premise increased by 11bps y/y and the share of Traditional channel increased by 101bps y/y, both contributing to quality revenue growth.

Change y/y % Breakdown
1Q24 1Q23 1Q24 1Q23
Sparkling -5.1% 9.5% 80.5% 82.2%
Stills 11.0% 5.6% 9.2% 8.1%
Water 1.3% -14.7% 10.2% 9.8%
Total -3.2% 6.3% 100% 100%

Totals may not add up due to rounding differences

In 1Q24, Türkiye posted 5.4% y/y volume growth on the back of consumer marketing activations realized together with The Coca-Cola Company; effective trade promotions and incentives offered; Ramadan's pull forward to March unlike last year; cycling of a low base last year due to the earthquake and increase in purchasing power of Turkish consumers following the salary adjustments in January. In the end, we have realized 7.1% growth in Coca-ColaTM, and 6.7% continued improvement in Adult Sparkling Premium category, including Schweppes. Similarly, our Fuse Tea brand has posted a robust performance with 51.5% y/y growth.

In addition to these category mix improvements, we have strengthened our position in Traditional Trade by increasing the channel's share in total sales by 473bps y/y growth.

International operations were down by 7.2% y/y in 1Q24 on top of 14.7% y/y growth realized same period last year. While Uzbekistan, Iraq and Azerbaijan delivered strong volume performance with 22.5%, 24.3% and 15.4% y/y, Pakistan and Kazakhstan were the main reasons behind the slow-down in total international volumes. On the other hand, our mix improvement strategies continued to deliver positive results in international operations too. We have recorded 7.0% y/y increase in energy drinks, 12.7% in iced teas among high profitable categories. IC share in international operations jumped by 350bps to 22.8%, while there is still ample headroom to grow considering the 36% average in EMEA countries. In addition, the share of Traditional Trade channel in total sales increased by 71bps y/y.

Among international operations, Uzbekistan continued to shine with 22.5% y/y volume growth thanks to the continuous implementation of our CCI execution standards. Since the acquisition of Uzbekistan, we have improved our outlet coverage from 42% to 91% and increased the number of coolers in the market by 6 times.

Kazakhstan, on the other hand, has slowed down by 10.8% y/y in 1Q24 on top of 26.1% volume growth same period last year. In 1Q24, we have limited summer stocking – a practice that we undertake to keep up with summer demand – due to the new greenfield that will be operational in high-season. Limited summer stocking at distributors combined with foreign consumers moving-back to their countries and high base of 1Q23 have been the main reasons behind the volume decline. Despite softer volume performance, our volume market share in sparkling category has increased by 63 bps y/y in 1Q24.

Pakistan continued to be impacted by macroeconomic headwinds in 1Q24 and recorded 22.8% y/y decline in sales volume, coupled with the high base of 1Q23, as we had 13.6% y/y growth same period last year. General elections were held in February and a new cabinet has been established in March. In addition, Pakistan seeks another long-term IMF program that will unleash hard currency flow. Although we remain positive about the opportunity Pakistan offers, these developments have not yet translated in the short-term in improving consumer confidence and our volumes continued to remain soft as we cycle the high base of last year. In this context, we have posted a 1.3pp value market share gain on a 12 month trailing basis vs the same period last year, thanks to a 10bps y/y increase in the share of On-Premise channel and 54bps y/y improvement in IC share, both 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 March 31, 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 1Q24:

  • The net sales revenue ("NSR") increased by 2.9% on a year-over-year basis and reached 27.2 billion TL with NSR/uc increasing by 6.3% on the back of delicate revenue growth management initiatives. Our consolidated NSR/uc was \$2.58 on a reported basis. NSR/uc before TAS 29 was realized as \$2.55 – the highest in the last 10 years, implying a growth of 9.0% in \$ terms.
  • Türkiye recorded 9.5% NSR growth in 2023 and NSR/uc grew by 3.9%. Thanks to effective Revenue Growth Management strategies, along with close monitoring of consumer purchasing power and with the expansion of traditional channel share among all of our operations (by 473 bps y/y), we have registered strong growth in NSR.
  • In the international operations, NSR with TAS 29 adjustments stands flattish vs same period last year; while without the impact of TAS 29, NSR increased by 67.2% y/y. NSR/uc growth, on the other hand, realized as 80.1% y/y before TAS 29 in TL terms. Special focus on quality mix growth along with dynamic pricing actions delivered robust NSR generation in international operations as well, thereby yielding \$2.4 NSR/uc – up by 9.9% vs same period last year.
Net Sales Revenue (TL m) NSR per U.C. (TL)
1Q24 YoY Change 1Q24 YoY Change
Türkiye 10,686 9.5% 90.6 3.9%
International 16,594 -0.7% 74.3 6.9%
Consolidated 27,230 2.9% 79.8 6.3%

Gross margin expanded by 247 bps to 33.2% y/y on a consolidated basis, mostly thanks to Türkiye and Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan flat cost base and pricing actions taken in the first quarter were the main contributors for gross margin expansion. Without TAS 29, gross margin improvement on a consolidated level was 354 bps.

  • In Türkiye, the gross margin increased by 842 bps to 33.2% in 1Q24, thanks to disciplined & dynamic price management, positive channel mix and softer than anticipated cost base. Sale of previous quarter's finished goods inventory supported the margins in 1Q24.
  • Our international operations' gross margin declined by 96 bps to 33.4% mostly due to the ongoing macroeconomic turmoil in Pakistan and hence our mindful choice of limited pricing actions. Gross margin of Kazakhstan and Iraq improved materially during the quarter vs same period last year.
  • Our consolidated EBIT margin was slightly down by 13 bps, realizing as 11.8%, while without TAS 29 accounting, EBIT margin y/y improvement was 101 bps, tapping 16.1% - the highest 1Q EBIT margin in the last 10 years.
  • The EBITDA margin was also slightly down by 24 bps to 16.4% in 1Q24. Without TAS 29 reporting, our EBITDA margin was 19.4% with 75 bps y/y improvement.
  • Net financial expense, including lease payables related to TFRS 16, was (1,145) million TL in 1Q24 compared to (766) million TL in 1Q23 due to the rise in interest rates, and higher share of local currency borrowing, which increased total interest expenditures along with TL devaluation.
Financial Income / (Expense) (TL million) 1Q24 1Q23
Interest income 322 204
Interest expense (-) -1,853 -891
Other financial FX gain / (loss) 772 339

Interest Expense & Income Net -Derivative Transactions 20 209
FX gain / (loss) – Borrowings -473 -623
Financial Income / (Expense) Net -1,145 -766
  • Non-controlling interest (minority interest) was (6) million TL in 1Q24 only compared to 66.5 million TL in 1Q23. Full ownership of Pakistan operations resulted in lower minority interest.
  • Net profit is recorded as 2.7 billion TL in 1Q24 vs. 3.2 billion TL last year. The decrease in net profit is mostly attributable to increased interest expenses and taxes y/y. Without TAS 29 accounting, net profit grew by 53.1% in TL terms, reaching 1.6 billion TL.
  • The free cash flow was (5.0) billion TL in 1Q24 vs (4.9) billion TL in line with the lower business activity of the first quarter, i.e., inherent seasonality of our industry. While there has been a strong improvement in NWC/Sales vs previous year (from 7.6% to 3.7%),

tax payments increased y/y amid rise in corporate taxes in Turkiye. In addition, investments in financial assets slightly surged with Bangladesh acquisition, thereby slightly impacting free cash flow on a year-over-year basis.

  • Capex was 2,232 million TL as of 1Q24. 17% of the total capital expenditure was related to the Türkiye operation, while 83% was related to international operations. Capex/Sales was realized at 8.2% during the quarter.
  • Consolidated debt was 41 billion TL (USD 1.26 billion) by 31 March 2024 and consolidated cash was 19.3 billion TL (USD 597 million), bringing consolidated net debt to 21.8 billion TL (USD 673 million). Net Debt to consolidated EBITDA was 1.04x as of March 31, 2024.
