Grey chart represents an acquisition effect between two subsequent periods. * Adjusted forone-offs.


Kofola ČeskoSlovensko a.s. bought a 49% stake in MIXA VENDING s.r.o., a company focused on the operation of beverage and food vending machines. This is an interesting merger of two Czech family companies that have been operating on the market for over 30 years.
Kofola ČeskoSlovensko a.s. acquired 51% stake in Pivovary CZ Group, which develops the traditional beer brands Holba, Zubr and Litovel. The Kofola Group can thus enter another category at the regional level in which it can use its business, distribution and marketing know-how.
The new face of the Korunní brand is Dara Rolins, who created a remake of her song as part of the "Napiješ - Nabiješ" campaign.
A healthier alternative to drinks in a can is coming to the market, aimed at children and young teenagers. Jupík SPARKY is based on water, fruit juice and low sugar content.

We have been deeply engaged in the reduction of the impact of our business on the environment since 2010. We have introduced hundreds of steps to make our business work in harmony with nature. We don´t use sustainability as an empty phrase. We want "sustainable thinking" to be part of every decision we make. This is the only way to be sure that we can always be proud of what we do.

Sustainability impacts the whole lifecycle of our products. We prefer to buy healthy and local ingredients, which we process in a considerate way. We try to cut our carbon footprint during transportation. We reduce packaging materials — for example, we sell some products without any packaging at all. And, last but not least, we try to find a reasonable use for any waste produced as a byproduct of our activities.

The Rajec Valley in Slovakia is the source of our Rajec spring water. However, we don't only protect water resources. In 2019, we established closer cooperation with local farmers and we got organic certification for part of the Rajec Valley. The aim is to protect the whole unique Rajec ecosystem. We do not only produce water in the Rajec Valley, but we also plant herbs for our products and keep bees. All these activities illustrate the complexity of our approach to the issue of sustainability.
Water is the cornerstone of our business. We actively protect water sources to keep water in nature.
We put local suppliers first because we believe it is necessary to support the place where we live and run our business.
We prefer natural ingredients from verified suppliers. This is the only way to produce healthy products for our customers.
We create a healthy and motivating work environment. Satisfied employees are the best ambassadors for our company.

We stabilized our financial situation and reduced our debt from around a 4.1 level at the beginning of Covid pandemic to a current healthy level. We will keep focusing on keeping our debt below 3.
Now we want to develop further, mainly in these areas:
We have successfully implemented Cirkulka project (returnable glass packaging). We have expanded our portfolio to include the brewery business and vending machines . Other projects will follow.
We have included existing investments in this incubator – F.H.Prager (craft ciders), e-sport team Brute (now in cooperation with Semtex Republic) and special mobile app for menus, ordering and payment in restaurants in Slovenia and Croatia (Enjoi). In 2023, we acquired 34% share in Zahradní OLLA (ceramic containers for economical and controlled irrigation of plants).
We are looking for new projects that have a potential to support our core and non-core business.
