COCA-COLA EUROPACIFIC PARTNERS

Trading Update for the Third Quarter ended 2 October 2026 & Interim Dividend Declaration

UXBRIDGE, UK / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / Strong Q3; full-year guidance reaffirmed

Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We delivered a strong third quarter, building on our first-half performance and remaining focused on our strategic priorities. Revenue growth was well balanced, with higher volumes and solid revenue per case across our markets in the home and away-from-home channels.

"We continue to bring excitement to customers and consumers in growing categories. Our performance reflects the strength of our broad beverage portfolio, driven by rising demand for zero sugar, energy and hydration, together with strong innovation, quality in-market execution and favourable weather in Europe. We gained share in Europe, maintained momentum in Australia and the Philippines, and made further progress in Indonesia, led by sparkling drinks.

"The consumer environment remains challenging, and the geopolitical situation has impacted operating costs; however, our business remains resilient. The strength of our brands, disciplined approach to pricing and promotions across our broad pack offering, tight control of discretionary spending and continued productivity gains keep us on track to deliver our unchanged full-year guidance.

"Our performance is driving strong and profitable cash generation, supporting record investment in future growth, with a focus on AI, technology, coolers and supply chain, a growing dividend and ongoing share buybacks. We are well prepared for 2027 with great opportunities to excite consumers, grow value for customers and create value for shareholders. With the right strategy, people, execution and brand partnerships, we remain confident in our ability to create long-term shareholder value."

This document includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, including "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include estimates or projections concerning the financial condition, performance, results, guidance and outlook, dividends, consequences of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures, strategy and objectives of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and its subsidiaries (together CCEP or the Group). Generally, the words "ambition", "target", "aim", "believe", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "project", "plan", "seek", "may", "could", "would", "should", "might", "will", "forecast", "outlook", "guidance", "possible", "potential", "predict", "objective" or the negatives of these terms and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks that could cause actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are based upon various current assumptions as well as CCEP's historical experience and present expectations or projections. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors that, in CCEP's view, could cause such actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes in the marketplace; changes in relationships with large customers; adverse weather conditions; importation of other bottlers' products into our territories; deterioration of global and local economic and political conditions; increases in costs of raw materials; changes in interest rates or debt rating; deterioration in political unity within the European Union; defaults of or failures by counterparty financial institutions; changes in tax law in countries in which we operate; additional levies of taxes; waste and pollution, health concerns perceptions, and recycling matters related to packaging; global or regional catastrophic events; cyberattacks against us or our customers or suppliers; technology failures; initiatives to realise cost savings; miscalculation of our need for infrastructure investment; executing on our acquisition strategy; costs, limitations of supplies, and quality of raw materials; maintenance of brand image and product quality; managing workplace health, safety and security; water scarcity and regulations; climate change and legal and regulatory responses thereto; other legal, regulatory and compliance considerations; anti-corruption laws, regulations, and sanction programmes; legal claims against suppliers; litigation and legal proceedings against us; changes in our foreign private issuer status; attracting, retaining and motivating employees; our relationship with TCCC and other franchisors; and differing views among our shareholders. For more information on risks affecting our financial performance and condition and operating results, consult the "Risk Factors" section of CCEP's 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 13 March 2026 and in our H1 2026 Financial Results on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on 4 August 2026.

Due to these risks, CCEP's actual future financial condition, results of operations, and business activities, including its results, dividend payments, capital and leverage ratios, growth, including growth in revenue, cost of sales per unit case and operating profit, free cash flow, market share, tax rate, efficiency savings, achievement of sustainability goals, including net zero emissions and recycling initiatives and capital expenditures, may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in forward-looking statements. These risks may also adversely affect CCEP's share price. CCEP does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required under applicable rules, laws and regulations. All forward looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements in this section.

We use certain alternative performance measures (non-IFRS 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 IFRS measures.

For purposes of this document, the following terms are defined:

‘‘As reported'' are results extracted from our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

"Comparable'' is defined as results excluding items impacting comparability, such as restructuring charges. Comparable volume is also adjusted for consumption days.

‘‘Fx-neutral'' or "FXN" is defined as period results excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Foreign exchange impact is calculated by recasting current year results at prior year exchange rates.

‘‘Capex'' or "Capital expenditures'' is defined as purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalised software, plus payments of principal on lease obligations, less proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment. Capex is used as a measure to ensure that cash spending on capital investment is in line with the Group's overall strategy for the use of cash.

‘‘Comparable free cash flow'' is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures (as defined above) and net interest payments, adjusted for items that are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor have occurred within the prior two years. Comparable 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, non-discretionary lease and net interest payments while excluding the effects of items that are unusual in nature to allow for better period over period comparability. Comparable free cash flow reflects an additional way of viewing our liquidity, which we believe is useful to our investors, and is not intended to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

‘‘Dividend payout ratio'' is defined as dividends as a proportion of comparable profit after tax.

Additionally, within this document, we provide certain forward-looking non-IFRS financial information, which management uses for planning and measuring performance. We are not able to reconcile forward-looking non-IFRS 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 year.

Revenue

Volume

The calculation of comparable volume growth has been updated and is now based on consumption days (previously selling days), consistent with how management reviews volume performance. Comparable volume growth is calculated based on Average Daily Sales (ADS), dividing reported volumes by consumption days for each respective period.
