Everything about Kofola

All Business

Business

Kofola Group has had another record summer. The sales growth is also due to an extremely successful season in the Adriatic region.

Kofola Group has published its results for the third quarter of this year. Sales in this period grew by another CZK 34 million year-on-year, surpassing last year's record result by 1.6%. In the summer months, the Czech and Slovak markets as well as the Adriatic region performed well. The Adriatic region experienced a recovery thanks to the influx of tourists, who were missing last year due to pandemic measures in the region. Operating result EBITDA increased by CZK 81 million year-on-year in the first nine months of the year. As a result, Kofola's management has refined its full-year estimate to a range of CZK 1.08 - 1.12 billion and will propose a dividend payment at the November General Meeting.

Business

Lockdown impacts on Kofola’s results for the first quarter of the year are lower than expected

Kofola Group published its financial results for the first quarter of this year after experiencing the biggest market limitation of the pandemic period. For the entire quarter, not only the key gastronomy segment was locked down, but impulse purchases were also limited for part of this period due to free movement between districts being prohibited in the Czech Republic. In comparison with the previous year, revenue fell by only 10.4%, with EBITDA lower by 23.4%, which, in the circumstances, was more than acceptable. For the time being, Kofola’s management affirms its original annual EBITDA guidance at 1.03 to 1.15 billion Czech crowns.

Business

Kofola confirms in its annual report EBITDA operating profit of more than one billion CZK. Group EBITDA should also exceed one billion CZK this year.

The Kofola Group has issued its annual report today, confirming preliminary results of 2020 published at the beginning of February. The results were beyond expectations, with 2020 EBITDA reaching 1.03 billion CZK and yearly revenues decreasing by only 3.7%, despite significant market limitations caused by the coronavirus situation. Management of the Kofola Group has confirmed its estimate of EBITDA operating profit for this year of between 1.03 – 1.15 billion CZK, based on this year´s development so far.

Business

Kofola ends last year by exceeding expectations, with its annual EBITDA above 1 billion CZK (37.8 million EUR).

The Kofola Group slightly exceeded expectations at the end of 2020, despite significant limitations on the market during the last months of the year, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The value of EBITDA for 2020 reached, according to preliminary economic results, 39.0 million EUR. Annual revenue dropped compared to the previous year by 3.7%. One reason behind this relatively small revenue decrease is the successful acquisition of Ondrášovka and Korunní mineral waters, which contributed to growth in the retail market.

Business

Kofola had a record-breaking summer, consumers were loyal to traditional brands

The Kofola Group improved the key economic indicators, with impressive results, especially in the CzechoSlovak segment, built on traditional brands. In the third quarter, it recorded revenues higher by 219.5 mCZK, EBITDA grew by 121.2 mCZK. This enabled Kofola to create a reserve for economic fluctuations connected to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

Business

Kofola has overcome the most difficult quarter in history beyond expectations

The Kofola Group managed to maintain its strong position even in one of the most difficult quarters it has ever faced. From an economic point of view, it did excellently. These results were achieved with the help of a long-term company strategy built on traditional and local brands, flexibility in decision-making when looking for savings, and extraordinary employee engagement. Kofola successfully managed to take over both Ondrášovka and Korunní companies, leading to an increase in its market share in Czech retail. The management of Kofola is expecting the whole market to gradually start reawakening, and yet, in the event of economic swings, the Group has sufficient resources to overcome difficult times.

Business

In the first quarter, the Kofola Group was able to maintain turnover as well as EBITDA. The Group is well prepared for the rest of the year.

In spite of the current situation, the Kofola Group was able to maintain both key indicators at the same level as last year – there was only 0.1% decrease in revenues and the EBITDA is actually higher by 0.6%. The Group achieved this excellent result despite all complications caused by preventative measures against the spread of COVID-19 in all countries in which it operates, that have strongly affected the whole beverage industry. The management of the Group states that we are well prepared for the upcoming months, even if the economy picks up very slowly.

Business

Kofola ČeskoSlovensko has significantly consolidated its position on the Czech market through the purchases of Karlovarská Korunní and Ondrášovka.

Through the purchase of Korunní and Ondrášovka, Kofola ČeskoSlovensko has widen its portfolio to include Czech mineral water brands and significantly has strengthened its position in the category of packaged waters on the Czech market. Along with this acquisition, Kofola has also taken over the distribution network, liabilities, receivables and all employees. Both parties have previously stated that the transaction price will not be disclosed.

Business

Last year was a successful one. The Kofola Group saw a rise in revenues and in both economic indicators.

In the last year, the Kofola Group increased its revenues by 4.1% to EUR 249 668 thousand, the value of the EBIT key indicator jumped by 2.9% and the EBITDA by 5.9%. This very positive economic result was helped by last quarter, higher sales in the HoReCa segment, and in the terms of brands - primarily Royal Crown Cola, Jupí syrups and Semtex energy drinks. In the Adriatic region, Croatia scored very well in revenues after adjustments to the distribution model. This year, the key priority for the Group will be to effectively meet the challenge of the coronavirus pandemic.

Just recently it has set out on a journey into the craft cider and soda segments. Kofola ČeskoSlovensko has today announced the purchase of 100% shares in the company of the Czech cider producer F. H. Prager, a business with a ten year of history on the market.
