FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES INC. REPORTS
SECOND-QUARTER 2003 RESULTS

• Second-quarter 2003 earnings totaled 56 cents per diluted common share, including favorable tax items totaling 2 cents per share.
• Volume increased 1 1/2 percent for the quarter, led by strong growth in Europe of  7 1/2 percent with case sales in North America flat with prior year.
• Full-year 2003 earnings guidance is reaffirmed at $1.15 to $1.22 per diluted common share.

ATLANTA, July 16, 2003 — Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (“CCE”) today reported second-quarter 2003 net income applicable to common shareowners of $259 million, or 56 cents per diluted common share. Second-quarter results include 2 cents per diluted common share from favorable tax items. Net income for the first six months of 2003 totaled $286 million, or 62 cents per diluted common share. Results for the first six months of 2003 include 1 cent per diluted common share from the sale of a hot-fill manufacturing facility to The Coca-Cola Company, and favorable tax and interest expense items totaling 3 cents per diluted common share. In the prior year, CCE reported net income applicable to common shareowners of $214 million for the second quarter and $224 million for the first six months of 2002.

* The calculation of comparable volume growth adjusts for acquisitions and one less selling day in the first six months of 2003.

Foreign currency translations contributed 4 cents per diluted common share to second-quarter results and 5 cents per diluted common share for the first six months of 2003.

Operating income totaled $528 million for the second quarter, an increase of 7 percent versus second-quarter 2002 results. Second quarter results in each year benefited from the settlement of promotion programs and accruals totaling $24 million in 2003, and $22 million in 2002. Operating income for the first six months of 2003 totaled $706 million, up 5 percent compared to the same period last year. 2003 operating income results reflect strong growth in our European operations with North American operating income impacted by lower volume growth and higher operating expenses. Operating income for the first six months includes $8 million attributable to the sale of the hot-fill production facility earlier this year.

“Our second-quarter financial performance benefited from our commitment to improved pricing in both North America and Europe, even as our North American volume growth slowed late in the quarter,” said Lowry F. Kline, chairman and chief executive officer. “Consistent improvement in the pricing of our products is the cornerstone of our ability to generate improved operating results over time, and our commitment to price realization remains unchanged.

“We continue to expect full-year earnings per share in our original targeted range as we benefit from continued price realization, favorable interest rates and the operational and currency benefits of our European territories,” Mr. Kline said.

Consolidated physical case bottle and can volume increased 1½ percent on a comparable* basis for the second quarter, and 2 percent for the first six months. Second-quarter volume performance in North America was flat as contributions from Vanilla Coke, diet Vanilla Coke, and Sprite Remix were offset by slower sales of flavored carbonated soft drinks and noncarbonated beverages. For the first six months, growth in Coca-Cola trademark brands and water contributed to North American volume growth of ½ percent. High single-digit volume increases in Great Britain, France and Belgium produced second quarter volume growth in Europe of 7½ percent, with growth of 6½ percent for the first six months.

Second-quarter 2003 consolidated net pricing per case increased 2½ percent with growth in North America of 2½ percent and an increase in Europe of 2 percent. Consolidated pricing growth of 2 percent for the first six months of 2003 included continued progress in North America totaling 2 percent and growth in Europe of 1½ percent. Cost of sales per case increased 1½ percent in the second quarter and 1 percent for the first six months of 2003. All net pricing and cost of sales per case comparisons exclude the effects of currency translations. Please see the attached key operating statistics schedule for a reconciliation of reported and comparable operating statistics used in this release.

“While our second-quarter results do not reflect the balanced volume and pricing growth we had planned, our results clearly demonstrate that we are committed to price enhancement,” said John R. Alm, president and chief operating officer. “We are confident that volume growth will resume as the overall retail environment improves and our brands benefit from our consistent marketplace execution, strong local marketing programs, and our system’s focus on continued brand innovation.”

“In Europe, we again achieved outstanding results, with a strong balance of volume and pricing growth,” Mr. Alm said. “Strong growth from new cola introductions, such as Vanilla Coke and diet Coke with Lemon, and the outstanding work of our European team in support of our customers are continuing to expand the soft drink business in our European territories.”

Full-Year 2003 Outlook

Full-year 2003 earnings per diluted common share are expected in a range of $1.15 to $1.22, an increase of 12 percent to 18 percent over comparable 2002 results of $1.03 per diluted common share. This range excludes favorable tax and real estate items totaling 3 cents per diluted common share reported in the first six months of 2003, and is based on a full-year effective tax rate of approximately 32 percent. Full-year 2003 physical case volume growth is expected to total approximately 1 percent, with operating profit in a range of $1.43 billion to $1.48 billion. Our second-quarter conference call with analysts and investors will be webcast live over the Internet today at 10 a.m. (ET). The call can be accessed through our website at www.cokecce.com.

   (a) The non-GAAP financial measure "Bottle and Can Net Pricing per
        Case" is provided to allow investors to more clearly evaluate
        bottle and can pricing trends in the marketplace. The measure
        excludes the impact of fountain gallon volume and other items
        that are not directly associated with bottle and can pricing
        in the retail environment. Our bottle and can sales accounted
        for 92 percent of our net revenue in the first half of 2003.

   (b) The non-GAAP financial measure "Bottle and Can Cost of Sales
        per Case" is provided to allow investors to more clearly
        evaluate cost trends for bottle and can products. The measure
        excludes the impact of fountain ingredient costs as well as
        marketing credits and Jumpstart funding, and allows investors
        to gain an understanding of the change in bottle and can
        ingredient and packaging costs.

   (c) The non-GAAP financial measures "Currency Neutral Bottle and
        Can Net Pricing per Case" and "Currency Neutral Bottle and Can
        Cost of Sales per Case" are provided to allow investors to
        separate the impact of foreign currency translations on our
        operations.

   (d) "Comparable Volume" excludes the impact of acquisitions and
        changes in the number of selling days between periods. The
        measure allows investors to analyze the performance of our
        business on a constant territory basis. In 2003, one selling
        day shifts from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.
