Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A.
reports progress on Social Responsibility
Athens, Greece – 20 May 2008 - Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. (Coca-Cola Hellenic, the Company) has made detailed advances toward sustainable development goals in its 2007 Social Responsibility Report covering all 28 countries in which it operates. The full report is available at: www.coca-colahellenic.com.
A major initiative in 2007 was the decision to construct a further 15 Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, following the successful introduction of one in Hungary a year earlier. When fully operational in two years, the 15 plants will be capable of reducing CO2 emissions from beverage production facilities by more than 40% at each location. The overall reduction in CO2 emissions from all 80 of the Company’s facilities will be 20%. European Commission Vice President, Günter Verheugen, who attended the public announcement of the project, said: ‘“This demonstrates how innovation is not just a driver of economic competitiveness, but can also underpin business contribution to wider societal goals”.
A second major initiative was the completion of Europe’s first industry-owned Bottle-to-Bottle recycling plant in Austria. The plant is capable of processing 20,000 tons of used PET bottles each year into food-grade PET flakes for use in new bottles. The project was an industry partnership with four other Austrian beverage producers. Austrian Minister of the environment Josef Pröll described the business model as, “the perfect solution for the Environment, the economy and the consumer.”
Coca-Cola Hellenic is very focused on increasing efficient, sustainable use of resources. It recovers, recycles or refills 50% of all its packaging within the EU and an average of 37% in all of its territories. The Company has also improved both its water use efficiency by 19% and its energy use efficiency by 27% per litre of beverage produced compared to 2002 and has action plans in place to further improve these ratios. Coca-Cola Hellenic will begin purchasing new coolers in 2008 which will be 20% more energy efficient than previous models.
Responding to consumer concerns about health and wellness, Coca-Cola Hellenic has decreased the average calorie content of its beverages by 19% in the last six years. The Company’s product portfolio has expanded to include more waters, juices, low calorie and health beverages, offering wider consumer choice evolving from a ratio of 90% carbonated soft drinks in 2001, to 63% in 2007. Guideline daily amount (GDA) labels were introduced on beverage packaging in 2007 to inform consumers on calorie and nutrient content.
The Company has also continued its focus on water conservation. In 2007, Coca-Cola Hellenic was a founding signatory of the CEO Water Mandate of the UN Global Compact, and was invited to present its Danube Box educational programme together with its partner, the ICPDR, at the 2007 Stockholm Water Week.
As part of its disaster relief efforts in 2007 following major wildfires in Greece, drought in Romania and flooding in Slovenia and Bulgaria, Coca-Cola Hellenic provided around 600,000 litres of safe drinking water and contributed substantial funding for recovery programmes.
Coca-Cola Hellenic was recognized through several employer awards in 2007, including for its operations in Serbia, Poland, Hungary, Italy and the Czech Republic.

Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A.
provides update on current trading and full year outlook
Athens, Greece – 13 June 2008 - Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. (Coca-Cola Hellenic) provides an update on the current trading to reflect the impact of several external factors that have led to weakness in the performance for the first half of the year. While we are adjusting our near-term outlook, longer-term we continue to believe that the structural characteristics of our geographic portfolio and our strong market place capabilities will help us to create ongoing value for our shareholders.
In our quarterly results announcement on the 8th May 2008, we stated that whilst we still expected to deliver on our full year guidance, we remained watchful and realistic about the possible risk of an economic slowdown in some of our key markets, as well as further commodity cost pressures, notably PET. Though trading during most of April was satisfactory, some signs of weakening market conditions and unfavourable mix emerged at the end of that month. This was compounded in May, the start of our high selling season, with volume growth in the low-single digits being well below our initial plans. The factors contributing to this performance included:
|
· |
|
Weather conditions across most of our Central European markets, Russia and Ukraine were significantly worse in May compared with the prior year, impacting both volume and mix. |
|
· |
|
The economic environment in some of our markets, particularly Italy, Ukraine and Romania, has become increasingly challenging with early signs of rising food and fuel prices adversely impacting consumer sentiment and restricting discretionary spending. |
|
· |
|
The continued rise in global oil prices to unprecedented levels negatively impacted our cost base, primarily relating to our PET contracts and distribution expenses. |
|
· |
|
In Greece, one of our key markets, a twelve-day general transportation strike in May limited our ability to fulfill customer orders for at least 3 to 4 weeks ahead of our high selling season, particularly in the higher margin immediate consumption channels. |
Based on preliminary data, the factors outlined above are expected to impact adversely our operating profit result, particularly in the first half of the year which we expect to be down in the mid-to-high single-digits versus prior year. While we remain cautious of the current market conditions our updated 2008 full year guidance is as follows:
|
· |
|
Volume growth of approximately 6% (7% previously) |
|
· |
|
EBIT growth of approximately 5%-7%, (11%-13% previously) |
|
· |
|
EPS of approximately €1.37-€1.40, an increase of 5%-8%, (€1.46-€1.49, an increase of 12%-15% previously) |
Doros Constantinou, Managing Director of Coca-Cola Hellenic, commented:
‘In light of softer than expected trading performance that we have witnessed in some of our markets, particularly in May, we are updating our 2008 full year guidance. We are already initiating specific action plans to meet these challenges and I believe that the steps we are taking will enable us to deliver on our updated full year guidance. Over the long-term, the unique strengths of Coca-Cola Hellenic’s proven business model and our clear set of value-focused strategic priorities give me confidence in our ability to achieve our previously communicated long-term growth targets.’
Coca-Cola Hellenic management will host a conference call with financial analysts today to discuss the business update at 3pm Athens time (1pm London time, 8am New York time).
