Everything about Kofola

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.

On 15th April 2020, Kofola ČeskoSlovensko became a 100% shareholder in the companies Karlovarská Korunní and Ondrášovka, after the transaction was approved by the Office for the Protection of Competition and all other conditions for the takeover were met. 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.

The Kofola Group has today signed a working agreement concerning the purchase of 100% shares in Karlovarská Korunní and Ondrášovka companies.

The founders of the company, Mr and Mrs Moravec, signed a contract with Kofola to sell 100% of its shares, which is why Espresso has been fully taken under the wings of the Kofola Group. This transaction gives Espresso an owner strong in marketing and distribution, with a sensitive approach towards brands.

Kofola Group on a Wave of Growth

Kofola Group´s revenue in 2018 grew by 2.2% compared to 2017, EBITDA increased by 6.4%, and EBIT by 15.3%. Sales increased in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the Adriatic region.
