“2025 has been another strong year for CCEP. We continue to refresh our consumers and lead value creation for our customers across beverage categories that are growing strongly. We delivered robust top and bottom-line growth, generated strong free cash flow and again grew shareholder returns. Our consumers continued to enjoy a wonderful portfolio of beverages, our revenue growth reflecting the ongoing demand for value from consumers but also for innovation and premiumisation. Our business continues to become more efficient, our multi-year productivity programmes supporting resilient profit growth and investment for the future.
“We remain resilient in vibrant categories even though the consumer environment remains challenging. We’re investing more than ever in growth and greater productivity to drive expanding operating margins. With strong commercial and innovation plans in place, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, we’re excited about what this year will bring to customers and consumers.
“Our guidance, combined with a growing dividend and further €1 billion of share buybacks demonstrate the strength of this great business and our ability to deliver attractive and consistent shareholder value. All whilst continuing to be a great partner for our customers and a great place to work for our fantastic colleagues.”
