(a) This non-GAAP financial information is provided to allow investors to more clearly evaluate operating performance and business trends.  Management uses this information to review results excluding items that are not necessarily indicative of ongoing results.  
 
 
Second quarter operating results reflect the benefits of pricing initiatives in North America, volume growth in Europe, and ongoing operating expense control efforts, offset by volume declines and increased cost of goods in North America.  Reported second quarter operating income declined 3½ percent and comparable operating income was flat.  Foreign currency translations contributed approximately 3 percentage points of growth to operating income for the second quarter, and added 2 cents to diluted EPS results.

 “Throughout our territories, we are executing our operating plans and strengthening our business with successful brand and marketplace initiatives even as we continue to manage through a challenging North American cost environment,” said John  F. Brock, president and chief executive officer.  “Importantly, our restructuring efforts are on track as we work to enhance service to our customers and increase efficiency and effectiveness.

“Going forward, we also are encouraged by the opportunities that lie ahead as we incorporate important new brands and products into our portfolio,” said Mr. Brock. “The impressive line of still beverages from both FUZE and Campbell’s are examples of our commitment to our long-term strategic objective to grow the value of our existing brands and expand our product portfolio.

“In addition, we are continuing to work closely with The Coca-Cola Company to finalize CCE’s opportunities with the glacéau brands.  We look forward to making an important contribution to the development and growth of these brands as we work to achieve our established long-term growth objectives,” Mr. Brock said.

For the quarter, consolidated results include comparable physical case bottle and can volume decline of 1½ percent, net pricing per case increase of 3½ percent, and 7½ percent increase in cost of sales per case.  Both pricing and cost of sales results exclude the effects of currency translations.  Pages 10 through 14 of this release provide a reconciliation of reported and comparable operating results.

North American Results
 
In North America, a high cost of goods environment continued to impact results in the second quarter.  Cost of sales per case increased 9½ percent on sharply higher prices for aluminum and sweetener.  Net pricing per case grew 4½ percent, while volume declined 3 percent.

Sparkling beverage volume declined 4½ percent in the quarter, though Coca-Cola Zero and energy drinks each achieved growth of more than 30 percent.  Still beverages grew in a mid single-digit range reflecting low single-digit growth in water and high single-digit growth in Powerade.

“North American performance continues to reflect the benefit of pricing initiatives and diligent efforts to control operating costs, helping offset a high cost environment,” Mr. Brock said.  “Even though volume remains soft, we are encouraged by the progress of Coca-Cola Zero and the positive impact on Coca-Cola trademark brands of our Red, Black, and Silver marketplace initiative, as well as our expanding opportunities in still beverage categories.”
 
European Results
 
Total European volume in the quarter grew 2 percent, driven by solid Coca-Cola Zero growth in all territories and growth in still beverages led by Capri Sun and Oasis. This performance demonstrates the success of our three-cola initiative in Europe, as Coca-Cola trademark brands grew 1½ percent in the quarter.  With the continued development and expansion of Coca-Cola Zero into continental Europe, the brand now represents more than 4 percent of total European volume.  Volume grew 4 percent in continental Europe and declined ½ percent in Great Britain.  Net pricing per case was flat.

“The growth of our core Coca-Cola trademark brands and the rapid development of Coca-Cola Zero demonstrates the strength of our brands and our marketplace capabilities,” Mr. Brock said.  “Our second quarter results in Europe are encouraging, but working through challenging third quarter comparisons, created in part by last year’s introduction of Coca-Cola Zero, will require continued execution excellence and stable market conditions.”

Full-Year 2007 Outlook

Management now expects full year comparable 2007 earnings per diluted common share to be in the range of $1.27 to $1.32.  This contains the expected impact of currency and excludes other nonrecurring items.  Restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $125 million for the year.  Free cash flow from operations less capital spending is expected to total more than $650 million, with capital spending of approximately $1 billion.
CCE will webcast its second quarter conference call with analysts and investors live over the Internet today at 10:00 a.m. ET.  The call can be accessed through our Web site at www.cokecce.com.

Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. is the world's largest marketer, distributor, and producer of bottle and can liquid nonalcoholic refreshment.  Coca-Cola Enterprises sells approximately 80 percent of The Coca-Cola Company's bottle and can volume in North America and is the sole licensed bottler for products of The Coca-Cola Company in Belgium, continental France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, and the Netherlands.

(a)
The non-GAAP financial measure "Bottle and Can Net Pricing per Case" is used to more clearly evaluate bottle and can pricing trends in the marketplace.  The measure excludes the impact of post mix, agency and other items,  that are not directly associated with bottle and can pricing in the retail  environment.  Our bottle and can sales accounted for approximately 90 percent of our net revenue during the first six months of 2007 and 2006.
 
                     
(b)
The non-GAAP financial measure "Bottle and Can Cost of Sales per Case" is used to more clearly evaluate cost trends for bottle and can products.  The  measure excludes the impact of post mix, agency and other items, 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 used to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes on our operations.
 
 
   
                     
(d)
"Comparable Bottle and Can Volume" excludes the impact of acquisitions.  The measure is used to analyze the performance of our business on a
 
 constant territory basis.
               
                     
(e)
The non-GAAP measure "Free Cash Flow" is provided to focus management and investors on the cash available for debt reduction, dividend
 
distributions, share repurchase, and acquisition opportunities.
             
                     
(f)
The non-GAAP measure "Net Debt" is used to more clearly evaluate our capital structure and leverage.
                     
(g)
This estimate includes a July 2007 tax rate change in the United Kingdom that will become effective April 1, 2008.  As a result of this change, we
 
expect to record a deferred tax benefit of approximately $65 million during the third quarter of 2007 to adjust our deferred taxes.
