Comment of the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Miguel Ángel Peirano

 

“The Company has succeeded in quickly adapting to a complex new pandemic scenario, and we closed the third quarter with total volumes virtually in line with the previous year and soft drinks growing by 2.1%, solid financial results, and a significant increase in the returnable mix in all four operations. As in the previous quarter, we maintained the focus on implementing all necessary measures to protect our employees to minimize the likelihood of COVID-19 contagion, while maintaining continuity of the operation to serve our customers and consumers. Although during the quarter much of the on-premise channel was closed or operating with strong restrictions, we were able to compensate for this lower volume with higher sales in the traditional channel (Mom & Pops), closing the quarter with volume growths in Brazil, Chile and Paraguay in this channel. I would also like to highlight the significant growth recorded by direct-to-consumer sales through micocacola.cl in Chile, which increased six-fold in the quarter. In addition, we have maintained growth in our returnable soft drinks mix, reaching 56.8% in Argentina, 28.4% in Brazil, 47.6% in Chile, and 50.5% in Paraguay, implying an average increase from the previous year of approximately 5 percentage points. The returnable segment is extremely important for Coca-Cola Andina, both because it helps us reduce our use of single-use plastic, and because it allows us to be more competitive in complex economic times.

 

With respect to financial results, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay this quarter recorded double-digit growth in their Local Currency Adjusted EBITDA compared to the same period of the previous year, and at the consolidated level we closed the third quarter with a significant 16.2% growth of adjusted EBITDA. Brazil stands out, which mainly as a result of increased volumes and reduced costs, recorded a 67% increase in its Local Currency Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Finally, I would like to highlight the agreement we signed during August with Cervecería Chile S.A. (ABInBev Chile), which allows us to begin commercializing ABInBev beers in our franchise in Chile starting this month. The agreement is part of our growth strategy and diversification of products, with the aim of offering our customers and consumers a broader beverage portfolio. This is in line with complementing our portfolio of non-alcoholic products, with the commercialization and distribution of alcoholic beverages that we were already carrying out in Chile with the agreements with Diageo and Capel".

2 Adjusted EBITDA considers Revenues, Cost of Sales, Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses included in the Financial Statements filed with Chile’s Financial Market Commission and set in accordance to IFRS, plus Depreciation.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS: 3rd Quarter 2020 vs. 3rd Quarter 2019

 

Figures of the following analysis are set according to IFRS, in nominal Chilean pesos, both for consolidated results and for the results of each of our operations. All variations regarding 2019 are nominal. It is worth mentioning that the devaluation of local currencies regarding the U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our dollarized costs and the devaluation of local currencies with respect to the Chilean peso has a negative impact on the consolidation of figures. The following chart shows the exchange rates used:

 

Exchange rates used   Local currency/USD
(Average exchange rate)
    CLP / Local currency
(Average exchange rate*)
 
    3Q19   3Q20   3Q19   3Q20
Argentina   50.5    73.3    12.6    10.3 
Brazil   3.97    5.38    177.89    145.06 
Chile   707    780    N.A.    N.A. 
Paraguay   6,179    6,947    0.11    0.11 

 

*Except Argentina, where the closing exchange rate is used, pursuant to IAS 29

 

Consolidated Sales Volume during the quarter was 171.1 million unit cases, representing a decrease of 1.3% regarding the same period in 2019, explained by the volume decrease of the operations in Chile, Paraguay and Argentina, partly offset by the volume increase of the operation in Brazil. Transactions reached 751.2 million in the quarter, representing a 18.7% decrease regarding the same quarter of the previous year. The significant difference between the drop in volumes and transactions results from the great decrease in the on-premise channel given that most of this channel has been closed, whose volume is almost completely immediate consumption.

 

Consolidated Net Sales reached CLP 394,055 million, a 3.0% decrease, explained by (i) volume declines in Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, (ii) a decrease in net sales in Brazil due to the negative effect of translation of figures to Chilean pesos, and (iii) because of a lower average price in Argentina and Paraguay.

 

Consolidated Cost of Sales decreased by 3.7%, which is mainly explained by (i) the effect of translating figures in Brazil due to the devaluation of the Brazilian real with respect to the Chilean peso, (ii) an increase in the mix of future consumption within the soft drinks’ category, which carries a lower average cost than immediate consumption, and (iii) a decrease in the cost of PET resin. These effects were partially offset by the devaluation of local currencies regarding the U.S. dollar, with a negative effect on dollarized costs.

 

Consolidated Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses decreased by 11.9%, which is mainly explained by reductions in advertising expenses and labor costs in the four operations.

 

The aforementioned effects let to a consolidated Operating Income of CLP 49,979 million, a 28.4% increase. Operating Margin was 12.7%.

 

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reached CLP 77,279 million, increasing by 16.2%. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 19.6%, an expansion of 325 basis points.

 

Net Income attributable to the owners of the controller during the quarter was CLP 25,925 million, an increase of 2.4% and Net Margin reached 6.6%, an expansion of 35 basis points.

 

ARGENTINA: 3rd Quarter 2020 vs. 3rd Quarter 2019

 

The average quarterly exchange rate was 73.3 ARS/USD, which is compared with an average quarterly exchange rate of 50.5 ARS/USD in the same quarter of the previous year. The depreciation of local currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our dollarized costs. In addition, pursuant to IAS 29, the translation of figures from local currency to the reporting currency was performed using the closing exchange rate for the conversion to Chilean pesos of 10.3 CLP/ARS, which is compared to a closing exchange rate of 12.6 CLP/ARS in the same quarter of the previous year; thus, a negative impact on the consolidation of figures is generated. Figures for Argentina in local currency referred to in this section both for 2020 as well as 2019, are expressed in currency of September 2020.

 

Sales Volume for the quarter decreased by 2.6%, reaching 39.3 million unit cases, explained by volume decreases in the water and juices categories, which was partially offset by the volume increase in the soft drinks’ category. The volume drop is considerably less than the drop during the previous quarter, which is based on a recovery the traditional (Mom & Pops) channel volume (served directly and through distributors), as well as an increase in returnable packaging, which reached 56.8% of the soft drinks’ mix. Transactions reached 153.3 million, representing a 20.5% decrease, explained by a significant change in the mix from immediate to future consumption packaging, given the restrictions affecting the on-premise channel. Our soft drinks market share reached 59.7 points in the quarter. It is worth mentioning that as a result of restrictions related to COVID-19, the surveying company had to change the methodology and sample, therefore figures are not completely comparable to those of previous periods.

Net Sales reached CLP 80,170 million, increasing by 0.5%. In local currency they decreased by 11.0%, which was mainly explained by a lower average price, which was affected by price controls imposed by authorities, as well as by a lower immediate consumption mix, and to a lesser extent by the already mentioned volume decrease.

 

Cost of Sales decreased by 0.7%. In local currency it decreased by 12.1%, which is mainly explained by (i) the drop in volumes sold, (ii) a lower cost of PET resin, and (iii) a lower cost of concentrate given lower sales prices. These effects were partially offset by the devaluation effect of the Argentine peso on our dollarized costs.

 

Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses decreased by 5.7% in the reporting currency. In local currency they decreased by 16.5%, which is mainly explained by the effect of lower volumes on distribution expenses, as well as by lower distribution tariffs, lower labor costs, lower advertising expenses and greater other operating income classified under this item.

 

The aforementioned effects led to an Operating Income of CLP 6,629 million, increasing by 61.8% regarding the same period of the previous year. Operating Margin was 8.3%. In local currency Operating Income increased by 43.3%.

 

Adjusted EBITDA reached CLP 13,014 million, a 34.6% increase. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 16.2%, an expansion 411 basis points. On the other hand, in local currency Adjusted EBITDA increased by 19.2%.

The average quarterly exchange rate was 5.38 BRL/USD, which is compared with an average quarterly exchange rate of 3.97 BRL/USD in the same quarter of the previous year. Depreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our dollarized costs. Translation of figures from local currency to the reporting currency was performed using the average exchange rate for the conversion to Chilean pesos of 145.06 CLP/BRL, which is compared with 177.89 CLP/BRL in the same quarter of the previous year. Thereby generating a negative impact on the consolidation of figures.

 

Sales Volume for the quarter reached 65.2 million unit cases, a 5.8% increase, explained by the volume increase in the soft drinks, water and beer categories, which was partially offset by a volume decrease in the juices’ category. As in Argentina, the traditional (Mom & Pops) channel and returnable packaging led the growth. Transactions reached 309.4 million, which represents a decrease of 4.5%. It is worth mentioning that the drop in transactions, is mainly due to the closing of part of the on-premise channel. Our soft drinks market share in our Brazilian franchises reached 61.6 points, unchanged from the same quarter of the previous year.

 

Net Sales reached CLP 136,818 million, an 8.1% decrease. Net Sales in local currency increased by 12.7%, mainly explained by a higher average price, driven by a greater mix and price of the beer category, in addition to higher soft drinks prices and the already mentioned increase in Sales Volume.

 

Cost of sales decreased by 10.9%, while in local currency it increased by 9.2%, which is mainly explained by (i) the negative effect on dollarized costs (specially sugar and PET resin) of the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, (ii) a greater cost of concentrate given the reduction of tax benefits, and (iii) an increase in beer sales, which carries a high cost per unit case.

 

Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses decreased by 27.2% in the reporting currency. In local currency, they decreased by 10.5%, which is mainly explained by lower distribution costs resulting from greater efficiencies, as well from the reduction in labor costs and advertising expenses.

 

The aforementioned effects led to an Operating Income of CLP 22,663 million, a 62.3% increase. Operating Margin was 16.6%. In local currency, Operating Income increased by 98.8%.

 

Adjusted EBITDA reached CLP 29,449 million, a 36.2% increase regarding the same period of the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 21.5%, an expansion of 700 basis points. In local currency, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 67.0%.

CHILE: 3rd Quarter 2020 vs. 3rd Quarter 2019

 

The average quarterly exchange rate was 780 CLP/USD, which compares to an average quarterly exchange rate of 707 CLP/USD in the same quarter of the previous year. The depreciation of local currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our dollarized costs.

 

Sales Volume during the quarter reached 51.7 million unit cases, which implied a decrease of 7.2%, explained by a decrease of the water, soft drinks, and juices categories, partially offset by an increase in the spirits category. In Chile, the traditional (Mom & Pops) channel also recorded a volume increase, which helped to offset the drop in the on-premise and supermarkets channels. Transactions reached 213.2 million, which represents a 31.7% decrease. The partial closing of the on-premise channel due to COVID-19 was the main reason for the drop in transactions. On the other hand, soft drinks market share reached 67.5 points in the quarter. It is worth mentioning that as a result of restrictions related to COVID-19, the surveying company had to change the methodology and sample, therefore figures are not completely comparable to those of previous periods.

 

Net Sales reached CLP 144,041 million, a 1.8% increase, which is mainly explained by a higher average price and partially offset by the already mentioned Sales Volume decrease. The increase in average prices is mainly explained by a higher average price of soft drinks, juices and water, and by a greater mix of the spirits category and was partially offset by a lower mix in immediate consumption.

 

Cost of Sales increased by 5.4%, mainly explained by the negative effect of the depreciation of the Chilean peso on our dollarized costs, as well as by an increase the spirits mix, which carry a greater cost. This was partially offset by a volume decrease and a lower cost of PET resin.

 

Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses decreased by 3.2%, which is mainly explained by lower distribution expenses due to lower volumes, as well as by lower labor costs and advertising expenses.

 

The aforementioned effects led to an Operating Income of CLP 14,491 million, 5.4% lower when compared to the previous year. Operating Margin was 10.1%.

The translation of figures from local currency to the reporting currency was performed using the average exchange rate of 0.11 CLP/PGY, parity very similar to the parity of the same quarter of the previous year.

 

Sales Volume during the quarter reached 15.0 million unit cases, a decrease of 3.4%, explained by a volume decrease in the water and juices categories, partially offset by a volume increase in the soft drinks’ category. Transactions reached 75.3 million, which represents a 21.0% decrease. Both the decrease in volume as well as transactions is mainly due to the partial closing of the on-premise channel due to COVID-19. Our soft drinks market share reached 79.1 points in the quarter. It is worth mentioning that as a result of restrictions related to COVID-19, the surveying company had to change the methodology and sample, therefore figures are not completely comparable to those of previous periods.

 

Net Sales reached CLP 33,745 million, reflecting an 8.5% decrease. Net Sales in local currency decreased by 6.8%, which was explained by a lower average price, impacted by a lower immediate consumption mix and the already mentioned decline in Sales Volume.

In local currency it decreased by 11.6%, which is mainly explained by (i) lower volume sold, (ii) lower cost of PET resin, and (iii) the increase in the soft drinks’ future consumption mix, which carries a lower average cost. This was partially offset by the negative effect of the depreciation of the guaraní on our dollarized costs.

All variations with respect to 2019 are nominal. It is worth mentioning that the devaluation of local currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our dollarized costs and that the devaluation of local currencies with respect to the Chilean peso has a negative impact on the consolidation of figures.

NON-OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER

 

Net Financial Income and Expense account recorded an expense of CLP 12,390 million, compared to the CLP 9,706 million expense for the same quarter of the previous year. The increase is due to the increase in the Company's debt as a result of the bond that was issued in January for USD 300 million, and that during June a portion of the debt that was in UF was converted to nominal Chilean pesos.

 

Share of Profit or Loss of Investment in Associates using the Equity Method account went from a CLP 452 million profit to a CLP 60 million profit, which is mainly explained by greater losses in Coca-Cola del Valle.

 

Other Income and Expenses account recorded a CLP 3,627 million profit, compared with a CLP 2,739 million loss for the same quarter of the previous year, which variation is mainly explained by a provision reversal related to tax credits in Brazil.

 

Results by Adjustment Units and Exchange Rate Differences account went from a CLP 43 million loss to a CLP 557 million loss this quarter, mainly because of greater losses from exchange rate differences related to assets in U.S. dollar of Andina Chile. Also, lower inflation in Argentina regarding the same period of the previous year, implied a lower adjustment by inflation of non-monetary net assets of Andina Argentina.

 

Income Tax went from -CLP 1,462 million to -CLP 14,412 million, variation that is mainly explained by the Company’s greater operating income and by the exchange rate difference tax effect in Chile.

Assets

 

Total assets increased by CLP 8,951 million, 0.4% compared to December 2019.

 

Current assets increased by CLP 155,581 million, 29.2% compared to December 2019, which is mainly explained by an increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents (CLP 131,031 million), mainly because of greater cash flow availability explained by the Bond placement in the U.S. market in January of this year. In addition to an increase in Other Current Financial Assets (CLP 91,657 million). The previous increases were partially offset by a decrease in Trade Accounts and Other Current Accounts Receivable (-CLP 47,985 million) because of seasonal factors since we are comparing with December 2019, the highest selling month of the year, and thus, with high accounts receivable compared to an average month.

 

On the other hand, non-current assets decreased by CLP 146,630 million, 7.9% regarding December 2019, which is mainly explained by the decrease in Property, Plant and Equipment (-CLP 91,770 million) mainly due to greater depreciation and the negative effect of translation of figures, partially offset by greater investments in cold equipment and packaging. In addition to the previous, there is also a decrease in Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill (-CLP 52,157 million), because of the negative effect of the translation of figures on distribution rights of our subsidiary in Brazil, and the decrease of Other Non-Current Non-Financial Assets (-CLP 45,561 million) given the negative effect of translation of figures on tax credits and judicial deposits in our subsidiary in Brazil. The aforementioned decreases are partially offset by the increase in Other Non-Current Financial Assets (CLP 72,847 million) mainly explained by the effect of the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar during the period, which increased the mark-to-market of cross currency swaps.

 

Liabilities and Equity

 

In total, liabilities increased by CLP 140,102 million, 9.9% compared to December 2019.

 

Current liabilities decreased by CLP 135,471 million, 32.9% compared to December 2019, which is mainly explained by the decrease in Trade Accounts and Other Current Accounts Payable (-CLP 72,344 million), due to seasonal factors considering that December is the highest selling month of the year and thus, a month with high accounts payable to suppliers. In addition to the previous, there is a decrease in Other Non-Financial Current Liabilities (-CLP 21,788 million), a decrease in Current Employee Benefit Provisions (-CLP 13,668 million) and a decrease in Current Accounts Payable to Related Entities (-CLP 11,704 million).

 

On the other hand, Non-Current Liabilities increased by CLP 275,573 million, 27.3% compared to December 2019, mainly due to the increase in Other Non-Current Financial Liabilities (CLP 328,960 million), mainly explained by the recognition of the liability for issuing the bond on the U.S. market in January of this year and by the mark-to-market liability of cross currency swaps of this same bond.

 

As for equity, it decreased by CLP 131,151 million, 13.5% compared to December 2019, explained by a decrease in Other Reserves (-CLP 182,069 million) due to the negative effect of translation of figures from foreign subsidiaries and on the mark-to-market of cross currency swaps. The aforementioned decrease is partially offset by Accumulated Earnings in the period (CLP 50,588 million) explained by earnings obtained during the period (CLP 74,401 million) and the restatement of equity balances in our subsidiary in Argentina pursuant to IAS 29 (CLP 27,870 million), partially offset by dividend distributions (-CLP 51,683 million).

 

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

At the closing of September 2020, Total Financial Assets amounted to USD 593 million. This amount is broken down into Cash and Cash Equivalent for USD 482 million and Derivative Hedging Valuation for USD 111 million.

 

Financial Assets for Cash and Cash Equivalent are invested in time deposits and short-term fixed income mutual funds. In terms of exposure to currencies, these are 76.2% denominated in Chilean pesos, 9.2% in U.S. dollars, 8.5% in Brazilian reals, 5.7% in Paraguayan guaraní, and 0.4% in Argentine pesos.

 

At the closing of September 2020, financial debt level is USD 1,275 million, of which USD 660 million correspond to bonds on the international market, USD 581 million to bonds in the local Chilean market and USD 34 million to bank and other debt. It is worth noting the issuance of a bond on the international market made in January 2020 totaling USD 300 million, due 2050, which was completely redenominated to Chilean pesos indexed to inflation (UF).

 

Financial debt, including the Cross Currency Swap effect, is 52.7% denominated in UF, 33.4% in Chilean pesos, 13.1% in Brazilian reals, 0.6% in U.S. dollars, 0.2% in Paraguayan guaraní and 0.1% in Argentine pesos.

 

At the closing of September 2020, Net Financial Debt of the Company's Total Financial Assets reached USD 682 million.

Cash Flow  CLP million   CLP million   CLP million   % 
Operating  138,621   153,903   15,282   11.0%

Net Cash Flow for the period  -31,868   142,658   174,526   -547.7%

 

During the present period, the Company generated a positive net cash flow of CLP 142,658 million, which is explained as follows:

 

Operating activities generated a positive net cash flow of CLP 153,903 million, higher than the CLP 138,621 million recorded in the same period of 2019, which is mainly due to lower payments to suppliers, coupled with lower tax payments and other cash outflows, partially offset by lower collections.

 

Investment activities generated a negative cash flow of CLP 150,175 million, with a negative variation of CLP 70,149 million regarding the same period of the previous year, which is mainly explained by greater purchases of short-term financial instruments, partially offset by lower capex.

 

Financing activities generated a positive cash flow of CLP 138,930 million, with a positive variation of CLP 229,393 million regarding the same period of the previous year, which is mainly explained by the U.S. dollar bond issuance in the United States.

Liquidity

 

Current Liquidity showed a positive variation of 92.5% compared to December 2019 explained by the 29.2% increase in current assets mainly explained by the increased availability of cash flows due to the placement of the bond in the U.S. market in January of this year, coupled with the 32.9% decrease in current liabilities, previously explained.

 

Acid Ratio showed an increase of 116.0% compared to December 2019, for the reasons set out above in addition to a decrease in inventories (11.9%) in the period. With this, current assets excluding inventories recorded a 44.9% increase compared to December 2019.

 

Activity

 

At the closing of September 2020, investments reached CLP 51,144 million, reflecting a 35.7% decrease compared to the same period of 2019. Of the total as of September 2019 (CLP 79,560 million), CLP 20,120 million correspond to the effect of applying IFRS 16, as the standard meant recognizing a right-of-use for that amount. Excluding this effect in both periods, investments decreased by 14.9% compared to the same period of the previous year, which is mainly due to the investment review carried out with the aim of maintaining a healthy cash flow and high liquidity.

 

Inventory Turnover reached 5.2x, recording an increase of 7.1% versus the same period of 2019, mainly because average inventory decreased by 8.2%, which was a greater reduction than that of the cost of sale (-1.7%).

 

Indebtedness

 

Indebtedness ratio reached 1.9x as of the closing of September 2020, representing a 27.0% increase regarding the closing of December 2019. This is mainly due to the 9.9% increase in total liabilities compared against December 2019 mainly explained by the bond placement in the U.S. market in January this year, in addition to a 13.5% decrease in total equity compared to December 2019 due to the negative effect of translation of figures from foreign subsidiaries and on the mark-to-market of cross currency swaps.

 

The Financial Expenses Coverage indicator records a -220.4% variation when compared against December 2019, reaching -271.4x mainly explained by increased financial income (12 moving months) by 12.7% due to the impact of recognizing tax credits in Brazil on financial income as of the closing of June 2020.

Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA was 2.0x, which represents a 37.7% increase versus December 2019. The foregoing is mainly due to the 37.6% increase of Net Debt, mainly explained by the increase in Non-Current Other Financial Liabilities.

 

Profitability

 

Profitability on Equity reached 18.7%, decreasing by 0.7 percentage points compared to December 2019. This result is because the decrease in Net Income for the period was higher than Average Equity, recording variations of -5.1% and -1.5%, respectively. On the other hand, Profitability on Total Assets was 6.9%, 0.7 percentage points lower than the indicator measured in December 2019, explained by the mentioned decrease in Net Income for the period, in addition to the 4.0% increase in Average Assets when compared with December 2019.

  

MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

 

The Company’s risk management is the responsibility of the office of the Chief Executive Officer, (through the areas of Corporate Management Control, Sustainability and Risks, which depends on the office of the Chief Financial Officer), as well as each of the management areas of Coca-Cola Andina. The main risks that the Company has identified and that could possibly affect the business are as follows:

 

Relationship with The Coca-Cola Company

 

A large part of the Company’s sales derives from the sale of products whose trademarks are owned by The Coca-Cola Company, which has the ability to exert an important influence on the business through its rights under the Licensing or Bottling Agreements. In addition, we depend on The Coca-Cola Company to renew these Bottling Agreements.

 

Non-alcoholic beverage business environment

 

Consumers, public health officials, and government officials in our markets are increasingly concerned about the public health consequences associated with obesity, which can affect demand for our products, especially those containing sugar.

 

The Company has developed a large portfolio of sugar-free products and has also made reformulations to some of its sugary products, significantly reducing sugar contents of its products.

 

Raw material prices and exchange rate

 

Many raw materials are used in the production of beverages and packaging, including sugar and PET resin, the prices of which may present great volatility. In the case of sugar, the Company sets the price of a part of the volume that it consumes with some anticipation, in order to avoid having large fluctuations of cost that cannot be anticipated.

 

In addition, these raw materials are traded in dollars; the Company has a policy of hedging in the futures market a portion of the dollars it uses to buy raw materials.

Instability in the supply of utilities

 

In the countries in which we operate, our operations depend on a stable supply of utilities and fuel. Power outages or water shut-offs may result in service interruptions or increased costs. The Company has mitigation plans to reduce the effects of eventual outages or shut offs.

 

Economic conditions of the countries where we operate

 

The Company maintains operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. The demand for our products largely depends on the economic situation of these countries. Moreover, economic instability can cause depreciation of the currencies of these countries, as well as inflation, which may eventually affect the Company’s financial situation.

 

New tax laws or modifications to tax incentives

 

We cannot ensure that any government authority in any of the countries in which we operate will not impose new taxes or increase existing taxes on our raw materials, products or containers. Likewise, we cannot assure that these authorities are going to uphold and/or renew tax incentives that currently benefit some of our operations.

 

A devaluation of the currencies of the countries where we have our operations, regarding the Chilean peso, can negatively affect the results reported by the Company in Chilean pesos

 

The Company reports its results in Chilean pesos, while a large part of its revenues and Adjusted EBITDA comes from countries that use other currencies. Should currencies devaluate regarding the Chilean peso, this would have a negative effect on the results of the Company, upon the translation of results into Chilean pesos.

 

The imposition of exchange controls could restrict the entry and exit of funds to and from the countries in which we operate, which could significantly limit our financial capacity

 

The imposition of exchange controls in the countries in which we operate could affect our ability to repatriate profits, which could significantly limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. Additionally, it may limit the ability of our foreign subsidiaries to finance payments of U.S. dollar denominated liabilities required by foreign creditors.

 

Civil unrest in Chile could have a material adverse effect on general economic conditions in Chile and our business and financial condition

 

Since October 18, 2019, there have been protests and demonstrations in Chile, seeking to reduce inequality, including claims about better pensions, improvement in health plans and reduced health care costs, reduction in the cost of public transportation, better wages, among others. Sometimes demonstrations have been violent, causing damage to public and private property.

 

We cannot predict the extent to which the Chilean economy will be affected by the civil unrest, nor can we predict if government policies enacted as a response to the civil unrest will have a negative impact on the Chilean economy and our business. Neither can we assure that demonstrations and vandalism will not cause damage to our logistics and production infrastructure. So far, the Company has not been affected in any material respect.

 

Our business is subject to risks arising from the COVID-19 pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the countries where we operate taking extraordinary measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, including travel restrictions, closing borders, restrictions or bans on social gathering events, instructions to citizens to practice social distancing, non-essential business closure, quarantine implementation, and other similar actions. The impact of this pandemic has substantially increased uncertainty regarding the development of economies and is most likely to cause a global recession. We cannot predict how long this pandemic will last, or how long the restrictions imposed by the countries where we operate will last.

 

Since the impact of COVID-19 is very uncertain, we cannot accurately predict the extent of impact this pandemic will have on our business and our operations. There is a risk that our employees, contractors and suppliers may be restricted or prevented from carrying out their activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns mandated by the authorities. Although our operations have not been materially disrupted to date, eventually the pandemic and the measures taken by governments to contain the virus could affect the continuity of our operations. In addition, some measures taken by governments have negatively affected some of our sales channels, especially the closing of restaurants and bars, as well as the prohibition of social gathering events, which affect our sales volumes to these channels. We cannot predict the effect that the pandemic and these measures will have on our sales to these channels, nor whether these channels will recover once the pandemic is over. Nor can we predict how long our consumers will change their consumer spending pattern as a result of the pandemic.

 

Additionally, a possible outbreak of other epidemics in the future, such as SARS, Zika or the Ebola virus, could also result in a similar impact on our business than COVID-19.

 

A more detailed analysis of business risks is available in the Company’s 20-F and Annual Report, available on our website.

RECENT EVENTS

 

COVID-19 impact on our business

 

Due to the impact that COVID-19 has had on different countries around the world and its arrival in the region where we operate, Coca-Cola Andina is taking the necessary actions to protect its employees and ensure the operational continuity of the company.

Among the measures that have been taken to protect its employees are:

 

·Education campaign addressed to our employees on measures to be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
·Every employee in an environment of potential contagion is returned home.
·New cleaning protocols in our facilities.
·Certain practices and work activities are modified, maintaining service to customers:
oWe have proceeded to work from home in all positions where it is possible.
oAll domestic and international work trips have been cancelled.
·Provide personal protection equipment to all our employees who must continue to work in plants and distribution centers, as well as truck drivers and helpers, including masks and alcohol gel.

 

Since mid-March, the governments of the countries where the Company operates have taken a number of steps to reduce the infection rate of COVID-19. These measures include closing schools, universities, restaurants and bars, malls, the prohibition of social gathering events, sanitary controls and health check points, and in some cases, total or partial quarantines for a part of the population. Governments in the countries where we operate have also announced economic stimulus measures for families and businesses, including restrictions on dismissals of workers in Argentina. To date, none of our plants have had to suspend their operations.

 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed by the authorities in the four countries where we operate, we have seen great volatility in our sales across channels. During this third quarter, at the consolidated level, we have observed a marked drop in our sales volumes on the on-premise channel (although to a lesser extent than the previous quarter), consisting mainly of restaurants and bars, which in part have had to be temporarily closed or operate with capacity restrictions. We have also seen a decrease in volume in the supermarket channel, and an increase in the volumes of the traditional (Mom & Pops) and wholesale channels. Because the pandemic and the measures governments take are changing very rapidly, we believe it is too early to draw conclusions about changes in the long-term consumption pattern, and how these may affect our operating and financial results in the future.

 

Due to the uncertainty regarding the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the aforementioned government measures, including how long they will persist, and the effect they will have on our volumes and business in general, we cannot predict the effect that these trends will have on our financial situation. However, we consider that the Company will have no liquidity problems. To date, we do not anticipate significant provisions or write-offs. Finally, we have reduced the Company's investment plan this year, reducing it from USD 165 million to USD 95-100 million.

 

Bond Holders’ Meeting

 

A Company Series-B Bond Holders’ Meeting was held October 27, which approved modifying the Indebtedness Ratio covenant for Series B Bonds (subseries B-1 and B-2), from "Consolidated Financial Liabilities shall not exceed 1.2 times Consolidated Equity", to "Consolidated Net Financial Liabilities shall not exceed 1.20 times Consolidated Equity".

 

Interim Dividend 215

 

On November 24, 2020, the Company will pay Interim Dividend 215: CLP 26.0 for each Series A share; and CLP 28.60 for each Series B share. The Shareholders' Registry for the payment of this dividend will close on November 18, 2020.

  

Coca-Cola Andina is among the three largest Coca-Cola bottlers in Latin America, servicing franchised territories with almost 54.0 million people, delivering 746.4 million unit cases or 4,238 million liters of soft drinks, juices, and bottled water during 2019. Coca-Cola Andina has the franchise to produce and commercialize Coca-Cola products in certain territories in Argentina (through Embotelladora del Atlántico), in Brazil (through Rio de Janeiro Refrescos), in Chile, (through Embotelladora Andina) and in all of Paraguay (through Paraguay Refrescos). The Chadwick Claro, Garcés Silva, Said Handal and Said Somavía families control Coca-Cola Andina in equal parts. The Company’s proposal to generate value is being a leader in the non-alcoholic beverages market, developing a relationship of excellence with consumers of its products, as well as with its employees, customers, suppliers and with its strategic partner Coca-Cola. For more company information visit www.koandina.com.

 

This document may contain projections reflecting Coca-Cola Andina’s good faith expectation and are based on currently available information. However, the results that are finally obtained are subject to diverse variables, many of which are beyond the Company's control and which could materially impact the current performance. Among the factors that could change the performance are: the political and economic conditions on mass consumption, pricing pressures resulting from competitive discounts of other bottlers, weather conditions in the Southern Cone and other risk factors that would be applicable from time to time and which are periodically informed in reports filed before the appropriate regulatory authorities, and which are available on our website.
