In its annual report, the Kofola Group confirmed the preliminary results published in February. The EBITDA guidance for 2024 remains in the range of CZK 1.55 - 1.80 billion with management estimating revenue growth of 25%.
The Kofola Group published its preliminary results for 2023 and confirmed that it has reached the upper limit of the announced EBITDA target of EUR 52.2 million. Kofola's sales grew by 10% compared to the previous year and reached EUR 362.0 million.
The domestic beverage company has published its results for the first nine months of this year. It has successfully managed to strike an economic balance between falling consumption, rising costs and necessary profitability. The good weather and especially the popularity of Kofola on draught with its original herbal recipe contributed to the sales in the key summer season. The very positive development trend of the UGO division, which focuses on selling fresh juices and healthy meals, also continued.
Kofola ČeskoSlovensko is buying a majority stake in Pivovary CZ Group, which develops the traditional beer brands Holba, Zubr and Litovel. The beverage family can thus enter another category at the regional level in which it can use its business, distribution and marketing know-how. Completion of the transaction, which is subject to the approval of the competition authorities, is expected early next year.
After being heavily involved in growing and processing herbs, family-owned beverage company Kofola has decided to expand its scope to include other beverage ingredients. It will cultivate an apple orchard on nearly 60 hectares in the Úsovsko region, with the aim of growing a special variety of apples needed for cider production in the Czech Republic. In Colombia, Kofola is moving towards co-ownership of 230 hectares of coffee plantations.
The beverage company announced in January that it would support the Krnov-based company Zahradní OLLA s.r.o. as part of the development of its incubator focused on startup and sustainable projects. The company produces clay irrigation pots that save water. This year, interest in these products was again greater than could be satisfied. Kofola has decided to become a one-third partner of Zahradní OLLA and to invest about one million crowns in its growth.
Kofola ČeskoSlovensko has published its Q2 results. Profit margin is starting to approach pre-pandemic levels. Despite a decline in the volume of litres sold, it reported EBITDA of CZK 581 million for the first half of the year. New products launched in all markets have won the hearts of consumers. The fresh UGO division continues its growth trend, even breaking into the black at the net profit level in Q2.
Stable energy prices and internal cost discipline, as well as the increasing popularity of UGO fresh juices and healthy meals and LEROS herbal teas, contributed to the good result in the first quarter.
Despite increased energy and raw material costs, Kofola Group achieved an EBITDA operating profit of EUR 45.2 million. This was driven by growing sales in key channels, a record summer season, year-on-year growth in the on-the-go category, and the growing popularity of fresh juices and herbal teas. Kofola has thus confirmed its role as a major domestic producer that is able to achieve stable results thanks to effective management.
The Kofola Group has repeatedly confirmed that it can manage the crisis and maintain financial discipline even in difficult periods. Despite experiencing its strongest ever peak season sales, Kofola had to cope with huge increases in the prices of raw materials, packaging materials and energy. However, it reacted very flexibly and introduced cost-saving measures, which contributed to the fact that it now promises to meet its EBITDA target. The most difficult situation this year is in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with the Adriatic region and the Group's subsidiaries LEROS and UGO helping to cope with the challenging period.
The positive trend in the development of Kofola Group's sales from the first quarter of the year also continued in the second quarter. Sales in this period exceeded expectations, growing by 23% year-on-year, and reaching CZK 3.717 billion in the first six months - CZK 763 million more than in the first six months of last year, and an all-time record. All parts of the Group experienced good growth: Kofola in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, companies in the Fresh&Herbs segment, and the Adriatic region. However, the high sales growth was accompanied by significantly increased costs, led by energy, material inputs, and salary costs. As a result, the Group's operating profit fell by 19% year-on-year in the second quarter. In view of this development, the Group's management refined its estimate of the annual EBITDA target to CZK 1.080 – 1.150 billion. It will also propose to the General Meeting a slight reduction in the dividend to CZK 11.30 per share.
The end of the pandemic measures and the opening of the market helped the Kofola Group to a significant year-on-year growth of 30% in sales for the first quarter to CZK 1,506 billion. The fact that this trend started at the beginning of the year and is stable is positive. Sales are matching and, in selected segments, even exceeding the pre-Covid sales of 2019. The Group has offset the significant increase in costs with financial discipline and a partial price increase, which have ensured that it continues to meet this year's financial plans. Based on the year to date, Kofola's management confirmed its original estimate for this year's operating EBITDA in the range of CZK 1,080 - 1,200 billion.
