Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“After our first two years as Coca-Cola European Partners, we continue to build a company based on three pillars: great beverages, great service and great people. In particular, our great people have delivered on our merger commitments while continuing to build for the future.
“Our 2018 results demonstrate this momentum, reflecting our ongoing focus on driving profitable revenue growth through strong price and mix realisation and solid in market execution. I am especially proud of how our teams embraced the positive challenges brought by great summer weather across northern Europe, partially offset by softer trading in Spain and France.
“Looking forward, we have an exciting but realistic long-term view of our growth opportunities. We continue to expand our total beverage portfolio while investing in core capabilities that will drive sustainable success, underpinned by our sustainability action plan ‘This is Forward’. Launched just over a year ago, we are on track to deliver on our 2025 commitments. We are already leading the way on carbon and water and making good progress on packaging, but we know we need to do more. On this, we want to lead the conversation with our stakeholders, alongside The Coca-Cola Company.
“It is a fantastic time to be leading CCEP. I have every confidence in our annual growth objectives over the mid-term, which now, having exited 2018 with a 50% dividend payout ratio alongside announcing up to a further €1 billion in share buybacks, collectively demonstrate our ultimate goal of delivering sustainable value for our shareholders.”

Full-year
2018
reported operating profit totalled
€1.3 billion
, up
3.0
% versus prior year. Comparable operating profit was
€1.6 billion
, up
7.0
% on a comparable basis, or up
7.5
% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis.
Full-year
2018
diluted earnings per share were
€1.86
on a reported basis, or
€2.30
on a comparable basis.
Fourth-quarter
2018
reported operating profit totalled
€194 million
, down
2.0
% versus prior year. Comparable operating profit was
€362 million
, up
6.0
% on a comparable basis, or up
6.5
% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis.
Fourth-quarter
2018
diluted earnings per share were €
0.28
on a reported basis, or €
0.54
on a comparable basis.
Key operating profit factors during the
full-year
2018 included solid revenue growth on a comparable and fx-neutral basis driven by strong revenue per unit case growth. This was partially offset by a
1.0
% decline in volume as favourable weather in Great Britain, Germany and Northern Europe over the summer months was not enough to compensate for softer trading in Spain and France, the previously announced strategic portfolio and pricing initiatives, as well as the impact of new soft drinks taxes. Comparable operating margins improved as we broadly maintained our gross margin and continued to realise post-merger synergy benefits.
Revenue
Full-year
2018
revenue totalled
€11.5 billion
, up
4.0
% versus prior year, or up
4.5
% on a fx-neutral basis.
Full-year
2018
revenue per unit case grew
5.5%
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis benefiting approximately
2.5%
from the impact of incremental soft drinks taxes. Volume decreased
1.0%
on a comparable basis.
Fourth-quarter
2018
revenue totalled
€2.8 billion
, up
5.0%
versus prior year on a reported and fx-neutral basis. Revenue per unit case was up
6.0%
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis benefiting from favourable underlying price, channel and package mix, as well as approximately
3.5%
from the impact of incremental soft drinks taxes.
Fourth-quarter
volume decreased
2.5
% on a comparable basis, reflecting recent customer disruption in France and the impact of our strategic pricing and promotion initiatives in Germany.
On a territory basis for the
fourth-quarter
, Iberia revenues were down
1.5
%, with solid volume growth in Portugal offset by softer trading in Spain. Revenue in Germany was up
3.0%
, driven by solid revenue per unit case growth reflecting positive price, channel and pack mix effects.
Revenue in Great Britain grew
18.5
%, supported by underlying gains in revenue per unit case reflecting improved promotional effectiveness as well as the impact of the new soft drinks tax. Volume grew modestly in Great Britain supported by strong seasonal execution. Revenue in France was down
0.5%
owing to changes in our price/pack
architecture as well as the impact of recent customer disruption. Revenue in the Northern European territories (Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland) was up
6.0%
with strong revenue per unit case gains supported by solid growth in small packs. Revenue growth was mainly led by the Netherlands and Sweden.
On a brand basis volume for the
fourth-quarter
, sparkling brands decreased
2.0
%. Coca-Cola trademark brands declined by
3.5
%, with a decline in Coca-Cola Classic partially offset by approximately 9.0% growth in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Sparkling flavours and energy grew
2.5
% supported by solid performances from Fanta, Schweppes and energy brands. Still brands declined by
5.5
% driven by a decline of
6.5
% in juices, isotonics and other, as well as a
4.5
% decline in water. This mainly reflects portfolio decisions in the ready-to-drink tea and water categories. Fuze Tea, Chaudfontaine and Smartwater all saw solid volume growth in the fourth quarter.
Cost of Sales
Full-year
2018
reported cost of sales were
€7.1 billion
, up
4.5
%. Comparable cost of sales were
€7.0 billion
, up
4.5
%, or up
5.0
% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis.
Full-year
cost of sales per unit case increased
5.5%
on a comparable and fx-neutral basis. This reflects brand mix, higher concentrate costs through the incidence pricing model given strong revenue per unit case growth, as well as approximately
4.0%
from the impact of incremental soft drinks taxes.
Fourth-quarter
2018
reported cost of sales were
€1.7 billion
, up
3.5%
versus prior year. Cost of sales were
€1.7 billion
, up
6.5%
on comparable basis and up
7.0%
on comparable and fx-neutral basis.
Fourth-quarter
cost of sales per unit case increased
8.0
% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis, including approximately
5.5%
from the impact of incremental soft drinks taxes.
Operating Expenses
Full-year
2018
reported operating expenses were
€3.2 billion
, up
4.0
%. Comparable operating expenses were
€2.9 billion
, up
2.5
% on a comparable basis, or up
3.0
% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis. This reflects our continued investments for the future partially offset by synergy benefits and a continued focus on managing expenses.
Fourth-quarter
2018
reported operating expenses were
€866 million
, up
10.0
%. Comparable operating expenses were
€705 million
, up
0.5
% on both a comparable basis and comparable and fx-neutral basis.
Restructuring Charges
During the
full-year
2018
we recognised restructuring charges totalling
€274 million
. These charges principally relate to restructuring activities under our Integration and Synergy programme, supply chain site consolidation in Great Britain and Iberia and other initiatives in Iberia and Germany.

Diluted earnings per share growth assumes share buybacks of €1 billion in 2019.
During the year ended 31 December 2018, CCEP made dividend payments totalling €513 million (2017: €489 million), comprising four quarterly dividends totalling €1.06 per share and representing an increase of 26% compared to the previous year. The fourth-quarter dividend implied an approximate annualised 50% dividend payout ratio.
Going forward from 2019 onwards, there will be two interim dividend payments instead of four quarterly dividend payments. The first-half interim dividend will be announced with the first-quarter trading update in April, with payment in June. The second-half interim dividend will be announced with the third-quarter trading update in October, with payment in December.
In September 2018, the Company announced a €1.5 billion
[1]
share buyback programme to reduce the share capital of the Company. The buyback programme began in September 2018 and €500 million of shares were repurchased by the end of 2018. The Company will continue with the buyback programme, repurchasing shares of up to €1 billion in 2019 and this will begin as soon as possible. The value of the programme may be adjusted depending on economic, operating, or other factors, including acquisition opportunities.
The buyback programme will be carried out for the shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam and will be effected within certain pre-set parameters and in accordance with the general authority to repurchase shares granted by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 31 May 2018. CCEP intends to effect the buyback programme in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014. The maximum number of ordinary shares authorised for repurchase at the company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting is 48,507,819. All shares repurchased as part of the buyback programme will be cancelled.
[1]
Existing shareholder authority to buyback shares expires at the end of the 2019 Annual General Meeting or, if earlier, the close of business on 28 June 2019. The company expects to seek further approval from shareholders to buyback shares at subsequent Annual General Meetings.
CCEP will host a conference call with investors and analysts today at 12:30 GMT, 13:30 CET and 7:30 a.m. EST. The call can be accessed through the Company’s website at www.ccep.com. A replay and transcript of the conference call will be available at www.ccep.com as soon as possible.

Intention to Seek Admission to Trading on London Stock Exchange and to Delist from Euronext London
|
CCEP has given notice of its intention to transfer its existing admission to trading on the market of Euronext London to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (the “Transfer”). CCEP’s decision to delist from Euronext London and apply for admission to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange is in an effort to improve market access for investors and enhance liquidity. This does not change the Company's category of listing, which will remain a standard listing under Chapter 14 of the UKLA's (the “United Kingdom Listing Authority”) Listing Rules.
It is expected that CCEP’s ordinary shares (the “Shares”) will be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 28 March 2019 and that delisting of the Shares from Euronext London will occur from 29 March 2019. There will therefore be one day of overlap during which the Shares will be admitted to trading on both London Stock Exchange and Euronext London to ensure continuous admission to the Official List of the UKLA.
Please note that this does not impact the listing of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext Amsterdam or the Spanish stock exchanges. Following admission, investors will be able to trade the Shares on all markets under the symbol CCEP, with the Shares being quoted and traded in Euro on the London Stock Exchange, Euronext Amsterdam and the continuous market of the Spanish stock exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia), and in USD on the NYSE.
A summary document in connection with the Transfer will be published by the Company in due course and will be available at www.ccep.com.

Financial Details and Reporting Changes
|
From the start of the 2019 financial year, CCEP will release a quarterly trading statement for Q1 and Q3 instead of publishing full financial results. The quarterly trading statements will provide sales performance in the quarter alongside commentary including any update to the full-year outlook. CCEP will continue to host conference calls to present and discuss the trading statements.
CCEP will continue to publish financial results for the half-year and full year.
Our next announcement will be our first-quarter 2019 trading update which will be released at 07:00 BST, 08:00 CEST, and 2:00 a.m. EDT on 30 April 2019. A conference call will be hosted with investors and analysts.

Note Regarding the Presentation of Alternative Performance Measures
|
We use certain alternative performance measures (non-GAAP performance measures) to make financial, operating and planning decisions and to evaluate and report performance. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors and as such, where clearly identified, we have included certain alternative performance measures in this document to allow investors to better analyse our business performance and allow for greater comparability. To do so, we have excluded items affecting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance as described below.
The alternative performance measures included herein should be read in conjunction with and do not replace the directly reconcilable GAAP measure.
For purposes of this document, the following terms are defined:
‘‘As reported’’
are results extracted directly from our consolidated financial statements.
‘‘Comparable’’
is defined as results excluding items impacting comparability, such as restructuring charges, merger and integration related costs, out of period mark-to-market impact of hedges, litigation provisions and net tax items relating to rate and law changes. Comparable volume is also adjusted for selling days.
‘‘Fx-neutral’’
is defined as comparable results excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Foreign exchange impact is calculated by recasting current year results at prior year exchange rates.
‘‘Free cash flow’’
is defined as net cash flows from operations, less capital expenditures and net interest paid, plus proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow is used as a measure of the Group’s cash generation from operating activities, taking into account investments in property, plant and equipment and non-discretionary interest payments.
‘‘ROIC’’
is defined as comparable operating profit after tax divided by the average of opening and closing invested capital for the year. Invested capital is calculated as the addition of borrowings and equity less cash and cash equivalents. ROIC is used as a measure of capital efficiency and reflects how well the Group generates comparable operating profit relative to the capital invested in the business.
‘‘Dividend pay out ratio’’
is defined as dividends as a proportion of comparable profit after tax.
‘‘Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA’’
Net Debt is defined as the net of cash and cash equivalents less currency adjusted borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”), before adding back items impacting the comparability of year-over-year financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. Further, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, and although depreciation and amortisation are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortised are likely to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements. The ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to analyse our operating performance in the context of targeted financial leverage.
Additionally, within this document, we provide certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial Information, which management uses for planning and measuring performance. We are not able to reconcile forward looking non-GAAP measures to reported measures without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact or exact timing of items that may impact comparability throughout 2019.
Unless otherwise stated, percent amounts are rounded to the nearest 0.5%.

31 December 2018
vs
31 December 2017
Total non-current assets increased
€345 million
, or
2.5%
, from
€14.9 billion
at
31 December 2017
to
€15.2 billion
at
31 December 2018
. This change was driven by a reclassification from current assets of €318 million relating to VAT receivables in Iberia. Property, plant and equipment had a net increase of €51 million primarily due to higher capital investments year on year, net of depreciation charges and disposals.
Total current assets decreased
€323 million
, or
9.5%
, from
€3.3 billion
at
31 December 2017
to
€3.0 billion
at
31 December 2018
, mainly driven by a reclassification to non-current assets of €318 million relating to VAT receivables in Iberia and by working capital movements.
Total non-current liabilities decreased by
€362 million
, or
4.5%
, from
€8.2 billion
at
31 December 2017
to
€7.9 billion
at
31 December 2018
. This change was mainly driven by the decrease in borrowings due to early repayments of €424 million, reclassification of maturing borrowings to current from non-current of €349 million, partially offset by the issuance of a €400 million Eurobond in November 2018.
Total current liabilities increased by
€505 million
, or
15.5%
, from
€3.3 billion
at
31 December 2017
to
€3.8 billion
at
31 December 2018
. This change was primarily driven by the €349 million borrowing reclassification explained above, an increase of €295 million in trade and other payables driven by working capital initiatives and increased tax liabilities arising from the incremental effect of sugar and excise tax changes enacted during 2018. This was partially offset by a decrease in commercial paper outstanding of €130 million.
