DAMIAN GAMMELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAID:

"We are pleased to have delivered a great first-half. We achieved strong top and bottom-line growth, gained value share and generated solid free cash flow. Key to this was the continued recovery of restaurants, pubs, cafes and bars, a return to travel and tourism for many consumers and a resilient home channel. All underpinned by robust categories and the strength of our customer relationships.

"Our focus on core brands, leading in-market execution and headline price and mix delivered volume and revenue ahead of 2019. We shared in this success with our retail customers, having delivered more revenue growth for them than any of our peers. And we continued to make progress against our sustainability commitments - using more recycled plastic in our bottles and reducing carbon emissions from our supply chain.

"We remain confident in the resilience of our categories, despite a more uncertain outlook, given macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility and higher inflation. We continue to actively manage key levers of pricing and promotional spend across our broad pack offering, alongside our focus on efficiency. However, given our strong first-half, we are raising revenue, operating profit and free cash flow guidance for FY22. This demonstrates the strength of our business and ability to deliver continued shareholder value. "

Q2 & H1 HIGHLIGHTS([1],[3]) 
 

Revenue

Q2 Reported +26.0%; Q2 Pro forma +16.0%([5])

-- Reported growth, in addition to the drivers below, reflects the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil (completed 10 May 2021)

-- Pro forma comparable volume +10.5%([8]) (+5.0% vs 2019) driven by the continued recovery of the Away from Home (AFH) channel, further supported by the return of tourism in Europe, alongside favourable weather

Strong AFH pro forma comparable volume: +20.0% (+1.5% vs 2019) reflecting increased mobility & the recovery of immediate consumption (IC) packs (+30.5% ([9]) vs 2021; +5.0% ([9]) vs 2019)

Resilient Home pro forma comparable volume: +4.5% (+7.5% vs 2019) driven by solid in-market execution, supported by the recovery of IC packs & sustained growth in future consumption (FC) packs (e.g. multipack cans +4.5% ([9]) vs 2021; +26.0%([9]) vs 2019)

-- Pro forma revenue per unit case +5.0%([2],[5]) (+7.0%([10]) vs 2019) driven by favourable underlying price & promotional optimisation, alongside positive pack & channel mix led by the recovery of AFH

H1 Reported +40.0%; H1 Pro forma +17.0%([5])

-- Reported growth, in addition to the drivers below, reflects the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil

-- NARTD value share gains across measured channels both in-store([6]) (+30bps) including sparkling (+90bps) & online([6]) (+30bps)

-- Delivered more revenue growth for our retail customers than any of our FMCG peers in Europe([7]) & our NARTD peers in API([7])

-- Pro forma comparable volume +13.0%([8]) (+4.5% vs 2019) driven by the solid recovery of AFH, further supported by the return of tourism in Europe, sustained growth in the Home channel & strong trading during the festive Ramadan period in Indonesia

Comparable volume by channel: AFH +28.5% (flat vs 2019); Home +4.5% (+7.5% vs 2019)

-- Pro forma revenue per unit case +4.5%([2],[5]) (+6.0%([10]) vs 2019) driven by favourable underlying price & promotional optimisation, alongside positive pack & channel mix led by the recovery of AFH

H1 Operating profit

Reported +86.0%; Pro forma comparable +29.0%([5])

-- Reported growth, in addition to the drivers below, reflects the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil

-- Pro forma comparable cost of sales per unit case +5.5%([2],[5]) reflecting increased revenue per unit case driving higher concentrate costs, commodity inflation & adverse mix, partially offset by the favourable recovery of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of higher volumes

-- Comparable operating profit of EUR1,051m, +29.0%([3],[5]) reflecting the increased revenue, the benefit of on-going efficiency programmes & continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation

   --       Comparable diluted EPS of EUR1.61 (reported +175.5%) 

Dividend

-- First-half interim dividend per share of EUR0.56 (declared at Q1 & paid in May), calculated as 40% of the FY21 dividend, with the second-half interim dividend to be paid with reference to the current year annualised total dividend payout ratio of approximately 50%

Other

-- Generated strong free cash flow of EUR1,281m (net cashflows from operating activities of EUR1,653m) driven by strong first-half performance & working capital initiatives. Continued focus on returning to our target leverage range (Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA of 2.5x-3x) by FY24

-- Reorientation of the API portfolio to maximise system value creation to enable greater focus on NARTD, RTD alcohol & spirits well advanced:

Sale of NARTD own brands to The Coca-Cola Company for A$275m substantially complete; annualised EBIT impact of A$25m

Previously announced plans to exit production, sale & distribution of Australia beer & apple cider products completed([11]) ; minimal EBIT impact

 
SUSTAINABILITY

-- France to become first supplier of non-alcoholic beverages to distribute 100% of its beverages to hotels, restaurants & cafes using returnable, refillable glass bottles by end of 2022

-- New lighter weight PET bottle necks in Europe, saving c.7,000 tonnes of plastic annually by 2024

Forward-Looking Statements 
 

This document contains statements, estimates or projections that constitute "forward-looking statements" concerning the financial condition, performance, results, 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" 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 from CCEP's historical experience and present expectations or projections, including with respect to the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries (together "CCL" or "API") completed on 10 May 2021 (the "Acquisition"). 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. These risks include but are not limited to:

1. those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of CCEP's 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 15 March 2022 and as updated and supplemented with the additional information set forth in the "Principal Risks and Risk Factors" section of this document;

2. risks and uncertainties relating to the Acquisition, including the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected, which could result in additional demands on CCEP's resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of its ongoing business and diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;

3. the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to affect CCEP and the results of its operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic;

4. risks and uncertainties relating to the global supply chain, including impact from war in Ukraine, such as the risk that the business will not be able to guarantee sufficient supply of raw materials, supplies, finished goods, natural gas and oil and increased state-sponsored cyber risks;

5. risks and uncertainties relating to the global economy and/or a potential recession in one or more countries, including risks from elevated inflation, price increases, price elasticity, disposable income of consumers and employees, pressure on and from suppliers, increased fraud, and the perception or manifestation of a global economic downturn; and

6. risks and uncertainties relating to potential global energy crisis, with potential interruptions and shortages in the global energy supply, specifically the natural gas supply in our territories. Energy shortages at our sites, our suppliers and customers could cause interruptions to our supply chain and capability to meet our production and distribution targets. The impacts, including potential increases in energy prices, are expected to be exacerbated during the approaching colder months of the year.

Due to these risks, CCEP's actual future 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 the results of the integration of the businesses following the Acquisition, including expected efficiency and combination savings, may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in forward-looking statements (including those issued by CCL prior to the Acquisition). These risks may also adversely affect CCEP's share price. Additional risks that may impact CCEP's future financial condition and performance are identified in filings with the SEC which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. 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. Furthermore, CCEP assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any forward-looking statements. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this filing and in any other of CCEP's or CCL's public statements (whether prior or subsequent to the Acquisition) may prove to be incorrect.

 
Note Regarding the Presentation of Pro forma financial information 
 and Alternative Performance Measures 
 

Pro forma financial information

Pro forma financial information has been provided in order to illustrate the effects of the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (referred to as CCL pre acquisition, API post acquisition) on the results of operations of CCEP in 2021 and allow for greater comparability of the results of the combined group between periods. The pro forma financial information for 2021 has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its nature, addresses a hypothetical situation. It is based on information and assumptions that CCEP believes are reasonable, including assumptions as at 1 January 2021 relating to acquisition accounting provisional fair values of API assets and liabilities which are assumed to be equivalent to those that have been provisionally determined as of the acquisition date and included in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, on a constant currency basis. The pro forma information for 2021 also assumes the interest impact of additional debt financing reflecting the actual weighted average interest rate for acquisition financing of c.0.40% for 2021.

The pro forma financial information does not intend to represent what CCEP's results of operations actually would have been if the acquisition had been completed on the dates indicated, nor does it intend to represent, predict or estimate the results of operations for any future period or financial position at any future date. In addition, it does not reflect ongoing cost savings that CCEP expects to achieve as a result of the acquisition or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings or synergies. As pro forma information is prepared to illustrate retrospectively the effects of future transactions, there are limitations that are inherent to the nature of pro forma information. As such, had the acquisition taken place on the dates assumed, the actual effects would not necessarily have been the same as those presented in the Pro Forma financial information contained herein .

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 measures.

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

"As reported" are results extracted from our consolidated financial statements.

"Pro forma " includes the results of CCEP and API as if the Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2021, including acquisition accounting adjustments relating to provisional fair values. Pro forma also includes impact of the additional debt financing costs incurred by CCEP in connection with the Acquisition for all periods presented.

"Comparable" is defined as results excluding items impacting comparability, which include restructuring charges, acquisition and integration related costs, inventory fair value step up related to acquisition accounting, the impact of the closure of the GB defined benefit pension scheme, net impact related to European flooding and net tax items relating to rate and law changes. Comparable volume is also adjusted for selling days.

"Pro forma Comparable" is defined as the pro forma results excluding items impacting comparability, as described above.

"Fx-neutral" 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.

"Free cash flow" is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures (as defined above) and interest paid. 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 lease and interest payments. Free cash flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is calculated as Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), after adding back items impacting the comparability of period over period financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. Further, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, 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.

"Net Debt" is defined as the net of cash and cash equivalents less borrowings and adjusted for the fair value of hedging instruments related to borrowings and other financial assets/liabilities related to borrowings. We believe that reporting net debt is useful as it reflects a metric used by the Group to assess cash management and leverage. In addition, 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.

"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-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 year.

Unless otherwise stated, percent amounts are rounded to the nearest 0.5%.

For the six months ending 1 July 2022, reported cost of sales were EUR5,288 million, up 37.5% versus 2021, reflecting the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil on 10 May 2021.

Comparable cost of sales for the same period were EUR5,300 million, up 40.0% versus 2021. Cost of sales per unit case increased by 4.5% on a comparable and fx-neutral basis, reflecting increased revenue per unit case driving higher concentrate costs, commodity inflation & adverse mix, partially offset by the favourable recovery of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of higher volumes.

For the six months ending 1 July 2022, reported operating expenses were EUR2,025 million, up 30.0% versus 2021.

Comparable operating expenses were EUR1,929 million for the same period, up 34.5% versus 2021, reflecting the impact of the API operations acquired in 2021, higher volumes and inflation, partially offset by the benefit of ongoing efficiency programmes and our continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation.

Restructuring charges of EUR95 million were incurred in the six month period ending 1 July 2022, which are primarily attributable to EUR81 million of expense recognised in connection with the transformation of the full service vending operations and related initiatives in Germany. This compares to restructuring charges of EUR92 million incurred in the six month period ending 2 July 2021, primarily related to productivity initiatives announced in Iberia for which EUR50 million of severance costs have been recorded.

Comparable operating expenses for the six months ending 1 July 2022 were EUR1,929 million, up 9.5% versus 2021 on a pro forma comparable basis, reflecting higher volumes and inflation, partially offset by the benefit of on-going efficiency programmes and our continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation in areas such as trade marketing, travel and meetings.

Supplemental Financial Information - Effective Tax Rate 
 

The effective tax rate was 25% and 46% for the six months ended 1 July 2022 and 2 July 2021, respectively, and 29% for the years ended 31 December 2021.

For the six months ending 1 July 2022, the effective tax rate reflects the impact of having operations outside the UK which are taxed at rates other than the statutory UK rate of 19%.

We expect our full year 2022 comparable effective tax rate to be between 22% and 23%.

______________________

([1]) Net Debt includes adjustments for the fair value of derivative instruments used to hedge both currency and interest rate risk on the Group's borrowings. In addition, Net Debt also includes other financial assets/liabilities relating to cash collateral pledged by/to external parties on hedging instruments related to borrowings.

([2]) Cash and cash equivalents as at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021 include EUR75 million and EUR45 million of cash in Papua New Guinea Kina respectively. Presently, there are government-imposed currency controls which impact the extent to which the cash held in Papua New Guinea can be converted into foreign currency and remitted for use elsewhere in the Group.

([3]) Short term investments are term cash deposits held in API with maturity dates when acquired of greater than three months and less than one year. These short term investments are held with counterparties that are continually assessed with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. Short term term investments as at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021 include EUR40 million and EUR44 million of assets in Papua New Guinea Kina respectively, subject to the same currency controls outlined above.

Principal Risks and Risk Factors 
 

The principal risks and risk factors in our 2021 Integrated Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021 ('2021 Integrated Report') (pages 42 to 47 and 195 to 202 respectively) continue to represent our risks.

We recognize significant volatility as a result of the current geopolitical and economic situation and see an upward trend for the Geodemographic principal risk. Absent other material changes, for example geographic expansion of the war in Ukraine, it is not deemed necessary to change any of the other principal risk ratings included in our 2021 Integrated Report.

Our current assessment takes into account additional mitigation put in place to address increased risk levels due primarily to:

   --        the war in Ukraine, which has impacted supply of raw materials, supplies, finished goods, gas/oil/energy and increased cyber risks; 

-- economic impacts, including inflation, price increases, price elasticity, disposable income of consumers and employees, pressure on and from suppliers, increased fraud, and the perception or manifestation of a global economic downturn;

-- political developments, including strikes, unrest, interest rates, ESG and other regulation; and

   --        the continuing and evolving worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. 

Accordingly, changes in the risk levels and the respective mitigations put in place to our principal risks and risk factors are provided below and supplement the Principal Risks and Risk Factors in our 2021 Integrated Report. Any or all of the Principal Risks and Risk Factors contained therein may be exacerbated by unpredictable developments in the factors identified above and in our Forward-Looking Statements set out on page 7 of this Half Year 2022 Interim Report.

The risks described in this report and in our 2021 Integrated Report are not the only risks facing the Group. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Potential risk from global economic downturn

We recognize the increased likelihood of a global economic downturn (e.g. a recession) and have evaluated the impact on our business. While such a fundamental development could impact our entire risk profile, we expect the following principal risks to be primarily impacted (a discussion of our respective mitigations is incorporated in the Principal Risk table below):

   --       Geodemographic 

A prolonged war in Ukraine and an extension of the war zone to other countries could exacerbate the risk of a global (raw) material, energy and gas crisis and increase the risk of cyber-attacks, including state-sponsored attacks.

With the approaching autumn and winter season, COVID-19 cases could increase across our territories and trigger governmental and societal counter measures, including shutdowns, with additional negative impact on the affected countries and their economic state.

   --       Economic and political conditions 

Central banks across the world are looking to manage elevated levels of inflation through increasing interest rates, which negatively impacts investment and debt financing activities.

Disagreement with governmental actions to mitigate the effects of a recession might lead to social unrest.

Elevated supply chain cost and continuously increasing prices with high volatilities and deteriorating availability of goods and materials could put the viability of some of our suppliers (and sub-suppliers) at risk.

   --       Market 

The general economic environment might:

- require us to absorb supply cost increases without being able to implement offsetting customer price increases,

   -    put the viability and independence of our existing customers at risk, 
   -    lead our customers to promote and give preference to private label versus our products, 

- lead consumers with decreasing disposable income to divert to private label and value packs and from the away-from-home to the home channel.

   --       People and Wellbeing 

Our employees are impacted by inflation and increasing cost of living (e.g. energy prices, basic food) which could lead to decreasing motivation, higher absenteeism or strikes.

Potential risk from energy crisis

One of the global consequences of the war in Ukraine is potential interruptions and shortages in the global energy supply, specifically the natural gas supply in our territories. The impacts, including potential increases in energy prices, are expected to be exacerbated during the approaching colder seasons of the year in Europe. While an energy crisis could impact our entire risk profile we expect the principal risks 'Economic and political conditions' and 'Geodemographic' to be most impacted.

We are working to strengthen our resilience to manage this risk across our territories. This work includes but is not limited to:

-- Limiting our dependence on natural gas (from Russia) through conversion to oil at selected sites which provides more supply options for CCEP;

-- Proactively managing supplier risks for gas in Germany, Recycled/Virgin-PET, CO2, sugar, glass, cans and other critical supplies; and

-- Reviewing and building up our contingency to ensure product (SKU) supply, including through assessing different scenarios of gas rationing across the EU.

Related Parties 
 

Related party disclosures are presented in Note 10 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements contained in this interim management report.

 
Going Concern 
 

As part of the Directors' consideration of the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Directors have considered the Group's financial performance in the period and have taken into account its current cash position and its access to a EUR1.95 billion undrawn committed credit facility. Further, the Directors have considered the current cash flow forecast, including a downside stress test, which supports the Group's ability to continue to generate cash flows during the next 12 months.

On this basis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the Directors do not believe there are any material uncertainties to disclose in relation to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

 
Responsibility Statement 
 

The Directors of the Company confirm that to the best of their knowledge:

-- The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 1 July 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (DTR).

-- The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by the DTR 4.2.7 R and DTR 4.2.8 R as follows:

-- DTR 4.2.7 R: (1) an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year, and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and (2) a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and

-- DTR 4.2.8 R: (1) related parties transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during that period, and (2) any changes in the related parties transactions described in the last annual report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first six months of the current financial year.

The Directors of the Company are shown on pages 67-71 in the 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Independent Review Report to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc

Conclusion

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 1 July 2022 which comprises the condensed Consolidated Interim Income Statement, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity and the related explanatory notes 1 - 13. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 1 July 2022 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis of Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of the directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Note 1

GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together CCEP, or the Group) are a leading consumer goods group in Western Europe and the Asia Pacific region, making, selling and distributing an extensive range of primarily non-alcoholic ready to drink beverages.

The Company has ordinary shares with a nominal value of EUR0.01 per share (Shares). CCEP is a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with the registered number in England of 09717350. The Group's Shares are listed and traded on Euronext Amsterdam, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, London Stock Exchange and on the Spanish Stock Exchanges. The address of the Company's registered office is Pemberton House, Bakers Road, Uxbridge, UB8 1EZ, United Kingdom.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. They have been reviewed but not audited by the Group's auditor. The statutory accounts for the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021, which were prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's opinion on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement made under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, the U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and should be read in conjunction with our 2021 consolidated financial statements. The annual financial statements of the Group for the year-ended 31 December 2022 will be prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The accounting policies applied in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021. The policy for recognising income taxes in the interim period is consistent with that applied in previous interim periods and is described in Note 11.

Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group.

As disclosed in the notes to the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021 (refer to Note 4 "Business combinations"), short term time deposits and treasury bills with maturities of greater than three months and less than one year acquired as part of the CCL acquisition have been reclassified and presented as short term investments. The impact on the comparative condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the six months ended 2 July 2021 was a net reduction in cash flows from investing activities of EUR138 million (including net proceeds from short term investments of EUR118 million) and a reduction in cash and cash equivalents of EUR138 million. There was a corresponding increase in short term investments of EUR138 million as at 2 July 2021.

Reporting periods

Results are presented for the interim period from 1 January 2022 to 1 July 2022.

The Group's financial year ends on 31 December. For half-yearly reporting convenience, the first six month period closes on the Friday closest to the end of the interim calendar period. There was one less selling day in the six months ended 1 July 2022 versus the six months ended 2 July 2021, and there will be equal selling days in the second six months of 2022 versus the second six months of 2021 (based upon a standard five-day selling week).

The following table summarises the number of selling days, for the years ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 (based on a standard five-day selling week):

 
          Half   Full 
           year   year

Comparability

The COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on global economic conditions, as well as our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. At this time, we cannot predict the degree to which, or the time period over which, our business will continue to be affected by COVID-19 and the related response measures. These impacts limit the comparability of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements with prior periods.

In addition, operating results for the first half of 2022 may not be indicative of the results expected for the year ended 31 December 2022 as sales of the Group's products are seasonal. In Europe, the second and third quarters typically account for higher unit sales of the Group's products than the first and fourth quarters. In the Group's Asia Pacific territories, the fourth quarter would typically reflect higher sales volumes in the year. The seasonality of the Group's sales volume, combined with the accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation, amortisation, rent and interest expense, impacts the Group's results for the first half of the year. Additionally, year-over-year shifts in holidays, selling days and weather patterns can impact the Group's results on an annual or half-yearly basis.

Exchange rates

The Group's reporting currency is the Euro. CCEP translates the income statements of non-Euro functional currency subsidiary operations to the Euro at average exchange rates and the balance sheets at the closing exchange rate as at the end of the period.

The principal exchange rates used for translation purposes in respect of one Euro were:

                                  month period ended                                           Closing as at

([1]) Comparable operating profit includes comparable depreciation and amortisation of EUR273 million and EUR114 million for Europe and API respectively, for the six months ended 1 July 2022. Comparable depreciation and amortisation charges for the six months ended 2 July 2021 totalled EUR285 million and EUR36 million, for Europe and API respectively.

([2]) Items impacting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance for 2022 primarily include restructuring charges of EUR95 million, partially offset by net insurance recoveries received of EUR12 million arising from the July 2021 flooding events. Items impacting the comparability for 2021 included restructuring charges of EUR92 million, acquisition and integration related costs of EUR40 million, inventory fair value step up related to acquisition accounting of EUR48 million and a positive impact of the closure of the GB defined benefit pension scheme of EUR9 million.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Group's revenue during the six months ended 1 July 2022 and 2 July 2021.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit after taxes by the weighted average number of Shares in issue and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities, principally share options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of specified market and/or performance conditions are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation based on the number of Shares that would be issuable if the end of the period was the end of the contingency period.

The following table summarises basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods presented:

 
                                                                        Six Months Ended

Note 7

FAIR VALUES AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair Value Measurements

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are categorised in the fair value hierarchy as described in our 2021 consolidated financial statements.

The fair values of the Group's cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade accounts receivable, amounts receivable from related parties, trade and other payables, and amounts payable to related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.

The fair values of the Group's borrowings are estimated based on borrowings with similar maturities and credit quality and current market interest rates. These are categorised in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the Group uses certain pricing models and quoted prices for similar liabilities in active markets in assessing their fair values. The total fair value of borrowings as at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021, was EUR11.6 billion and EUR13.3 billion, respectively. This compared to the carrying value of total borrowings as at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021 of EUR12.6 billion and EUR13.1 billion, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for further details regarding the Group's borrowings.

The Group's derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, which is determined using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument taking into account credit risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps) are determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, the derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates. The standard valuation model for the option contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource. As at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021, the total value of derivative assets was EUR573 million and EUR376 million, respectively. As at 1 July 2022 and 31 December 2021, the total value of derivative liabilities was EUR202 million and EUR66 million, respectively. During the period, EUR8 million of gains have been recorded within Other Comprehensive Income, primarily related to increases in fair value on commodity related hedging instruments.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period. There have been no transfers between levels during the periods presented.

Financial Instruments Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group's activities expose it to several financial risks including market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures to minimise the uncertainties these risks create over the Group's future cash flows. Such policies are developed and approved by the Group's Treasury and Commodities Risk Committee through the authority provided to it by the Group's Board of Directors. There have been no changes in the risk management policies since the year end.

Note 11

TAXES

Taxes on income in interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual profit or loss.

The effective tax rate (ETR) was 25% and 46% for the six months ended 1 July 2022 and 2 July 2021, respectively, and 29% for the year ended 31 December 2021. The ETR has been calculated by applying the weighted average annual ETR, excluding discrete items, of 25% and 22% to the profit before tax for the six months ended 1 July 2022 and 2 July 2021, respectively.

The ETR of 25% which is higher than statutory UK rate reflects the impact of having operations outside the UK which are taxed at rates other than the statutory UK rate of 19%.

The following table summarises the major components of income tax expense for the periods presented:

Tax Provisions

The Group is routinely under audit by taxing authorities in the ordinary course of business. Due to their nature, such proceedings and tax matters involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, settlements between affected parties and/or governmental actions. The probability of outcome is assessed and accrued as a liability and/or disclosed, as appropriate. The Group maintains provisions for uncertainty related to these tax matters that it believes appropriately reflect its risk. As at 1 July 2022, EUR154 million of these provisions is included in current tax liabilities and the remainder is included in non-current tax liabilities. There has been no material change in tax provisions since 31 December 2021.

The Group reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period and adjusts them based on changing facts and circumstances. Due to the uncertainty associated with tax matters, it is possible that at some future date, liabilities resulting from audits or litigation could vary significantly from the Group's provisions. When an uncertain tax liability is regarded as probable, it is measured on the basis of the Group's best estimate.

The Group has received tax assessments in certain jurisdictions for potential tax related to the Group's purchases of concentrate. The value of the Group's concentrate purchases is significant, and therefore, the tax assessments are substantial. The Group strongly believes the application of tax has no technical merit based on applicable tax law, and its tax position would be sustained. Accordingly, the Group has not recorded a tax liability for these assessments and is vigorously defending its position against these assessments.

As part of the Accelerate Competitiveness programme, the Group announced further proposals during the first half of 2022, including the transformation of the full service vending operations and related initiatives in Germany. Restructuring charges of approximately EUR81 million associated with these initiatives have been recorded during the six months ended 1 July 2022 primarily related to expected severance costs.

Commitments

There have been no significant changes in the commitments of the Group since 31 December 2021. Refer to Note 23 of the 2021 consolidated financial statements for further details about the Group's commitments.

Contingencies

There have been no significant changes in contingencies since 31 December 2021. Refer to Note 23 of the 2021 consolidated financial statements for further details about the Group's contingencies.

On 24 July 2020, a CCEP subsidiary 'Associated Products & Distribution Proprietary Limited' (APD), was joined to proceedings in the Supreme Court of Queensland between a Glencore joint venture and the State of Queensland, whereby APD's entitlement to royalties, from its sub-surface strata and associated mineral rights, has been challenged by the State of Queensland. Since 2014 and through to 24 July 2020, CCEP has received and recognised approximately EUR50 million in royalties. Effective the commencement of the proceedings, royalties have been paid directly to court and/or state government, which amounted to approximately EUR33 million as at 1 July 2022 and have not been recognised by the Group. If the Group is able to successfully defend the claim, it will be entitled to the past and future royalty payments arising from the ownership of the mineral rights. The proceedings remain ongoing and the Group intends to defend the matter robustly.

Note 13

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

In connection with the ongoing dispute in Spain regarding the refund of historical VAT amounts, EUR218 million of VAT receivable and related interest is classified within Other non-current assets as at 1 July 2022. On 29 July 2022, the Arbitration Board provided a ruling which, based on our current interpretation, indicates the regional tax authorities of Bizkaia (Basque Region) as responsible for refunding CCEP. As at the time of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, there is uncertainty on the timing of the refund and we consider that the non-current classification remains appropriate. We believe it remains a certainty that the amount due will be refunded to CCEP.
