FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

 

      Volume of 327 million unit cases, 6% ahead of the same period in 2005;

 

      Operating profit of €26.7 million versus €46.8 million, 43% behind prior year;

 

      Net loss of €0.2 million versus net income of €13.0 million in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Doros Constantinou, Managing Director of Coca-Cola HBC, commented:

 

‘I am pleased with our performance during the first three months of the year which reflects solid organic volume growth combined with favorable price mix. The quarter was also positively impacted by the contribution of our juice business in Russia, Multon, which we acquired during April 2005.

 

While the first quarter is typically a small one for our business, it was particularly encouraging to see volume improvement and pricing realization in line with our expectations across most countries. Importantly, we continued to enhance our marketplace capabilities with the addition of new sales personnel and successfully rolling out our full beverage portfolio strategy. We are also pleased to have finalized the Fresh & Co acquisition in March and the purchase of 95% of Lanitis in April, both of which will provide excellent opportunities for CCHBC.’

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as ‘believe’, ‘outlook’, ‘guidance’, ‘intend’, ‘expect’, ‘anticipate’, ‘plan’, ‘target’ and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding our future financial position and results, our outlook for 2006, business strategy and the effects of our recent acquisitions on our business and financial condition, our future dealings with The Coca-Cola Company, budgets, projected levels of consumption and production, projected raw material and other costs, estimates of capital expenditure and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they reflect our current expectations and assumptions as to future events and circumstances that may not prove accurate. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (File No 1-31466).

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our future results, level of activity, performance or achievements will meet these expectations. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Unless we are required by law to update these statements, we will not necessarily update any of these statements after the date of the consolidated financial statements included here, either to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A.

 

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – unaudited

 

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. (“the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

2.     ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“Statement No. 154”), a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Statement No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. The Company has adopted the policy with effect from January 1, 2006. The adoption of Statement No. 154 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“Statement No. 123 (R)”). The Statement requires compensation costs related to share based payments to be recognized in the financial statements. Under the Statement, the compensation cost is determined based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. The Statement is applicable to share based payment transactions excluding employee share purchase plans that meet certain criteria. Statement No. 123 (R) replaces APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Statement applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after that date. As of the required effective date, which is January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Statement No. 123 (R), using the modified version of the prospective application. Further details are available in Note 9, Stock-Based Compensation, and Note 10, Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB No. 107”) to assist preparers by simplifying some of the implementation challenges of Statement No. 123 (R) while enhancing the information that investors receive. SAB No. 107 creates a framework that is based on two overriding themes: (a) considerable judgment will be required by preparers to successfully implement Statement No. 123 (R), specifically when valuing employee stock options; and b) reasonable individuals, acting in good faith, may conclude differently on the fair value of employee stock options. Key topics covered by SAB No. 107 include: (a) valuation models – SAB No. 107 reinforces the flexibility allowed by Statement No. 123 (R) to choose an option-pricing model that meets the standard’s fair value measurement objective; (b) expected volatility – SAB No. 107 provides guidance on when it would be appropriate to rely exclusively on either historical or implied volatility in estimating expected volatility; and (c) expected term – the new guidance includes examples and some simplified approaches to determining the expected term under certain circumstances. The Company applied the principles of SAB No. 107 in conjunction with its adoption of Statement No. 123 (R).

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs–an amendment to ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The Statement requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) be included in the current period charges, eliminating

 

9



 

the option for capitalization. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred after January 1, 2006 and has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets-an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (‘Statement No. 153’). Statement No. 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. Statement No. 153 specifies that a non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Statement No. 153 is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets that occur in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 (e.g. July 1, 2005 in the case of the Company) and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. Statement 155 provides entities with relief from having to separately determine the fair value of an embedded derivative that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from its host contract in accordance with Statement 133. Statement 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The election may be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and can be made only when a hybrid financial instrument is initially recognized or when certain events occur that constitute a re-measurement (i.e., new basis) event for a previously recognized hybrid financial instrument. An entity must document its election to measure a hybrid financial instrument at fair value, either concurrently or via a pre-existing policy for automatic election. Once the fair value election has been made, that hybrid financial instrument may not be designated as a hedging instrument pursuant to Statement 133. The Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a re-measurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Upon adoption, an entity may elect fair value measurement for existing financial instruments with embedded derivatives that had previously been bifurcated pursuant to Statement 133. The Company is currently assessing the effect of the Statement on its financial statements.

 

3.     SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

 

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006 because of business seasonality. Business seasonality results from a combination of higher unit sales of the Company’s products in the warmer months of the year and the methods of accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation and interest expense that are not significantly affected by business seasonality.

5.     RECENT ACQUISITIONS

 

On March 13, 2006, we acquired, jointly with The Coca Cola Company (‘TCCC’), 100% of Fresh & Co, one of the leading producers of fruit juices in Serbia and Montenegro. The acquisition includes a production facility located at Subotica and the juice and nectar brands “Next” and “Su-Voce”. The net consideration for the transaction was €21.4 million (excluding acquisition costs) with the assumption of debt of an additional €24.0 million. The Company’s share of the purchase price and debt was €22.7 million. The acquisition is consistent with the Company’s strategy of expanding into the non-carbonated segment of the non-alcoholic beverages market. The acquired entity is a joint venture with TCCC and is being accounted for under the equity method.

 

6.     FRANCHISE RIGHTS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Our intangible assets consist mainly of franchise rights related to our bottler’s agreements with TCCC, trademarks and goodwill.

 

TCCC does not grant perpetual franchise rights outside of the United States, nonetheless, we believe our franchise agreements will continue to be renewed at each expiration date and, therefore, essentially have an indefinite useful life. We determine the useful life of our trademarks after considering potential limitations that could impact the life of the trademark, such as technological limitations, market limitations and the intent of management with regard to the trademark. All the trademarks that we have recorded on our balance sheet have been assigned an indefinite useful life, as they have an established sales history in the applicable region. It is our intention to receive a benefit from them indefinitely, and there is no indication that this will not be the case.

 

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. Finite-lived assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The following table sets forth the carrying value of intangible assets subject to, and not subject to, amortization (in millions):

9.     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company operates a stock-based compensation plan, under which certain key employees are granted awards of stock options, based on an employee’s performance and level of responsibility. Options are granted at an exercise price of the average mid-price of the Company’s shares at close of trading on the Athens Exchange over the last ten working days before the date of the grant. Options vest in one-third increments each year for three years and can be exercised for up to ten years from the date of award.

 

Stock Options are approved by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee after reviewing management advice and based on a view of competitive market conditions for employee remuneration and employees’ performance.

 

At the Annual General Meeting in June 2005, shareholders approved the adoption of a multi-year plan to grant stock options to senior managers for up to a maximum of 4,950,000 shares, subject to approval of the Board of Directors. Under this authorization, the Board of Directors approved in December 2005 the grant of stock options for 794,000 shares. In March 2006, a new grant of stock options for 50,000 shares was also approved.

 

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for the plans under the measurement and recognition of APB Opinion No 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement No. 123. Stock based compensation was included as a pro forma disclosure in the financial statement notes.

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123 (R), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock option compensation cost in 2006 includes the portion vesting in the period for (1) all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, and (2) all share-based payments granted subsequently to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 123 (R). Compensation expense recorded for the three months period ended March 31, 2006 was €0.8m. Results for the prior period have not been restated.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123 to options granted under the Company’s stock options plans in first quarter of 2005.

The following table summarizes the fair value (weighted average) of stock options granted in the first quarter of 2006. The fair values of options granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were estimated using the binomial option-pricing model. We believe this model more accurately reflects the value of the options compared to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Previous years grants continue to be valued using the Black-Scholes model. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the Black-Scholes model did not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. The fair value of the option grants was calculated on the date of grant with the following assumptions (weighted average):

Risk free interest rate

%

Expected volatility

 

25.24

%

Expected dividend yield

 

1.22

%

 

Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock and the expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s most recent annual dividend payout. The risk free interest rate is based on the average Eurobond rate for the option period. The calculation also takes into account the Company’s experience of early exercise. The calculated expected life of the option is 5.22 years.

The total estimated compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized is €4.1 million. We expect to recognize this compensation expense over the weighted average period of 1.57 years. The Company has a policy for issuing new shares upon stock option exercise.

 

10.  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

The Company operates a stock-based compensation plan, under which certain key employees are granted stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), based on an employee’s performance and level of responsibility. The terms of the SARs are based upon the basic terms and conditions of stock option grants except that instead of shares, the holders receive a payment equal to the positive difference between the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of exercise and the exercise price. SARs vest in one-third increments each year for three years and can be exercised for up to ten years from the date of award.

 

Stock appreciation rights are approved by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee after reviewing management advice and based on a view of competitive market conditions for employee remuneration and employees’ performance.

 

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company measured the liability incurred under SARs at intrinsic value.

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123 (R), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, we recognized the effect of initially measuring the liability at its fair value, net of any related tax effect, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle amounting to €0.8 million. The liability will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting period and is recorded in “Accrued expenses”. The compensation expense recognized in the first quarter of 2006 was immaterial.

 

The option pricing model used was binomial model. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock and the expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s most recent annual dividend payout. The risk free interest rate is based on the average Eurobond rate for the option period. The calculation also takes into account the early exercise experience.

11.  RESTRUCTURING

 

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded restructuring charges of €25.2 million before tax, comprised of cash restructuring charges of €17.1 million, accelerated depreciation of €1.7 million and impairment charges of €6.4 million. The restructuring charges primarily relate to initiatives in Greece, Ireland and Croatia. Specifically, on February 24, 2006, the Athens plant closed, and production was transferred to our Schimitari plant (which is 40 kilometers away from Athens). In addition, on March 10, 2006 the Greek warehouses of Messologi, Corfu and Rhodes closed. These initiatives are expected to support the growth of the Greek business as well as yield significant operating efficiency benefits in future years. Of the total restructuring charges for 2006 (cash and non-cash) relating to our initiatives in Greece, €8.2 million was recorded in cost of goods sold and €3.6 million in selling, delivery and administrative expenses. In Croatia, €2.6 million of cash charges have been recorded in 2006 in selling, delivery and administrative expenses in respect of rationalization of the delivery function. In Ireland, the project to develop a single all-island production facility is proceeding well. During the quarter, we recorded €5.4 million of restructuring charges and €1.7 million of accelerated depreciation, mainly reflected in cost of goods sold. We expect to incur further cash charges of approximately €20.4 of cash charges and €6.2 million of accelerated depreciation over the next twelve months in relation to the project.

 

A further €3.7 million of restructuring charges were incurred in relation to other restructuring activities throughout the Group, of which €2.9 million were recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses and €0.8 in cost of goods sold.

 

The table below summarizes accrued restructuring costs included within accrued expenses and amounts charged against the accrual (in millions):

12.  CONTINGENCIES

 

On June 29, 2005, the Greek Competition Authority requested the Company to provide information on our commercial practices as a result of a complaint by certain third parties regarding our level of compliance with its decision of January 25, 2002. On October 7, 2005, the Company was served with notice to appear before the Competition Authority. On such date, the Company was also made aware that in its recommendation to the Competition Authority the Secretariat of the Competition Authority claims that the Company did not properly comply with the decision of the Competition Authority of January 25, 2002 during the period covered by its investigation and proposes the imposition of a fine on the Company of €5,869 for each day that the Company delayed to comply since the decision of January 25, 2002 which, through the date the Company was served with notice, could amount up to approximately €7.9 million. The hearings before the Competition Authority have been concluded, and a decision is expected to be issued in the first half of 2006.

 

We believe we have substantial legal and factual defenses to the Secretariat’s claims. However, at this time we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.

 

In relation to the Greek Competition Authority’s decision of January 25, 2002, one of our competitors has filed a lawsuit claiming damages in an amount of €7.7 million. At present, it is not possible to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or quantify the likelihood or materiality of any potential liability arising from it.

 

The Company’s Bulgarian subsidiaries are participating in two waste recovery organizations in order to discharge their obligations under the Bulgarian Waste Management Act. On March 10, 2006, the Minister of Environment and Waters of Bulgaria issued an Ordinance stating that these organizations had not sufficiently proven their compliance with the Bulgarian Waste Management Act and consequently that all participants in these organizations should pay waste recovery fees. If the Company’s subsidiaries were to become liable to pay full waste recovery fees for 2005, the amount payable would be approximately €4.2 million. The decision has been appealed to the Bulgarian Supreme Administrative Court. At present, it is not possible to predict the outcome of this matter or to quantify the likelihood of any potential liability arising from it.

 

The Company has not provided for any losses related to the above matters.

 

In recent years, customs authorities in some Central and East European countries have attempted to challenge the classification under which the Company imports concentrate into these countries to produce our products. Local authorities have argued that a classification with higher custom duties than the current classification should apply. In the past, such issues were successfully resolved in most of these countries. The Company still has similar issues outstanding before the Romanian Custom Authorities. At this time, it is not possible to quantify the risk of a negative outcome in these cases.

 

The Company is also involved in various other legal proceedings. Management believes that any liability to the Group that may arise as a result of these pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company taken as a whole.

 

The tax filings of CCHBC and its subsidiaries are routinely subjected to audit by tax authorities in most of the jurisdictions in which the Group conducts business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes. The Group provides additional tax in relation to the outcome of such tax assessments, to the extent that a liability is probable and estimable.

On March 24, 2006, Coca-Cola HBC Finance plc issued €350.0 million Floating Rate Notes due March 24, 2009. The notes were guaranteed by Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. and Coca-Cola HBC Finance B.V. and were issued under the Group’s €2.0 billion Euro Medium Term Note Program. The notes were primarily issued in order to fund the acquisition of Lanitis Bros Public Limited (as discussed in Note 15) and the repayment of the Eurobond maturing in June 2006. The majority of the increase in long-term borrowings and cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2005 was a result of this issuance.

In summary, the significant differences are as follows:

 

(1)   In accordance with IAS 12R, Income Taxes, when deferred tax assets on losses have not been recognized at acquisition date and are subsequently recognized, both deferred tax assets and goodwill are adjusted with corresponding entries to operating expense and taxation in the income statement. Such a treatment does not occur for US GAAP.

 

(2)   CCHBC’s interests in jointly controlled entities, Brewinvest S.A., the Multon group and from 2006, Fresh & Co., are accounted for under the equity method of accounting for US GAAP and under the proportional consolidation method of accounting for IFRS.

 

(3)   In accordance with FAS 146, Exit or Disposal Activities, the liability for the costs of restructuring are recognized and measured at fair value when the liability is incurred, rather than the date at which the exit plan is committed to. In particular, where employees are required to serve beyond the minimum retention period in order to receive one-time termination benefits such as severance pay, the costs of the one-time termination benefit are recognized at fair value over the term of the retention period. If it is not possible for the employee to determine the type and amount of benefits they will receive from involuntary termination (for example, when the negotiation of severance benefits has not been conducted with the appropriate employee groups such as work councils or trade unions), then it is not possible to record a provision for any such amounts.

(4)   The US GAAP treatment of deferred tax is different in a number of respects from IFRS. In addition, other differences in accounting treatment can have an implication on tax. For example, under US GAAP a material balance is recorded as franchise rights, in comparison to IFRS. Deferred tax is applied to this franchise rights balance. Enacted tax rate changes can therefore have a material effect upon the US GAAP accounts that are not reflected for IFRS.

 

A full discussion of the differences can be found in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
