DAMIAN GAMMELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAID:
"2025 has been another strong year for CCEP. We continue to refresh our consumers and lead value creation for our customers across beverage categories that are growing strongly. We delivered robust top and bottom-line growth, generated strong free cash flow and again grew shareholder returns. Our consumers continued to enjoy a wonderful portfolio of beverages, our revenue growth reflecting the ongoing demand for value from consumers but also for innovation and premiumisation. Our business continues to become more efficient, our multi-year productivity programmes supporting resilient profit growth and investment for the future.
"We remain resilient in vibrant categories even though the consumer environment remains challenging. We're investing more than ever in growth and greater productivity to drive expanding operating margins. With strong commercial and innovation plans in place, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, we're excited about what this year will bring to customers and consumers.
"Our guidance, combined with a growing dividend and further €1 billion of share buybacks demonstrate the strength of this great business and our ability to deliver attractive and consistent shareholder value. All whilst continuing to be a great partner for our customers and a great place to work for our fantastic colleagues."

Double-digit growth of Monster, across the region, supported by innovation & new listings.
Double-digit growth of Sprite supported by new listings in France.
Single-digit decline in Coca-Cola with growth of Zero Sugar more than offset by decline of Original Taste in France, following increased sugar tax in Q1 & softer AFH volumes.
Growth in revenue/UC [10] reflects headline price increases, French sugar tax & positive pack & brand mix from growth of Monster.
Germany
Low single-digit volume decline in Q4 & FY with strong growth of Coca-Cola Zero & Monster more than offset by decline in Coca-Cola Original Taste, Fanta & Mezzo Mix.
Volume decline reflecting a deeper consumer focus on affordability & value for money & softer AFH volumes.
FY revenue/UC [10] growth driven by headline price increases implemented during Q3, supported by positive pack mix from growth of cans & decline of large PET.
Great Britain
Q4 volumes broadly flat with growth in large multi-packs offset by decline in large PET during Xmas period.
FY low single-digit volume increase in both channels driven by double-digit increase in Monster, Dr. Pepper & Sprite, supported by growth in Coca-Cola Zero & improved performance from Diet Coke.
Strong performance in ARTD driven by growth of multipacks in Home channel & innovation.
FY revenue/UC [10] growth reflects headline price increase during Q2 & positive brand mix from growth of Monster.
Iberia [9]
Successful transition of Nestea to Fuze Tea, exiting the year as the market leader in the RTD tea category.
Volume excluding RTD Tea up low single-digit in Q4 & FY, driven by Coca-Cola Zero, Monster & Sprite with Aquarius in Sports & Aquabona in Water all growing strongly.
BodyArmor Sports & Bang Energy launched towards the end of the year.
FY revenue/UC [10] growth driven by headline price increases.
Australia / Pacific [11]
Low single-digit volume increase in Q4 & FY driven by all markets, especially Australia & PNG, more than offsetting the impact of exit of Suntory alcohol distribution in Australia mid-year. Excluding alcohol, volumes & revenue up mid & high single-digit respectively.
Strong growth in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar & improvement in performance of Diet Coke drove overall growth in Coca-Cola TM volumes. Grinders coffee volume grew double-digit & Fanta volume growth supported by Lemon launch in Australia.

New multi-year agreement with Bacardi for distribution of premium spirits & ARTD brands in Australia began towards the end of the year.

Southeast Asia [4],[12]
Flat FY volumes with growth in the Philippines offset by double-digit decline in Indonesia.
Philippines FY volumes (cycling FY24 +11.0%) impacted by typhoon related flooding in Q3 returning to growth in Q4 & broadly in line with expectations. Volumes driven by growth of Coca-Cola Original Taste & Wilkins Pure water. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar also performed well though from a small base.
Indonesia FY volumes declined double-digit, better in H2 versus H1, reflecting a weaker consumer & macroeconomic backdrop. Frestea RTD tea relaunched with new identity & flavours (Blackcurrant now #1 flavoured brand). The transformation of our route to market, designed to be more agile & cost effective & focused on unlocking topline growth was executed by the end of the year.
Positive revenue/UC [10] largely reflects headline price increases in the Philippines during Q4'24.
