DAMIAN GAMMELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAID:
"Today, we are excited to announce the proposed joint acquisition of Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. with Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc., one of the leading conglomerates in the local market. This offers us a great opportunity to acquire an established, well-run business with attractive profitability and growth prospects. This would be a natural next step for CCEP, creating a more diverse footprint within our existing API business segment, support Indonesia's transformation journey and underpin our strategic mid-term objectives.
"We are also very pleased to have delivered a great first half, achieving strong top and bottom-line growth and generating impressive free cash flow. Our performance reflects great in-market execution, strong customer relationships allowing our consumers to continue to enjoy our portfolio of leading brands across a broad pack offering. This resulted in solid volume growth across our developed markets, whilst our volume in Indonesia reflected the execution of our long-term transformation strategy. Our focus on revenue and margin growth management, along with our price and promotion strategy, drove solid gains in revenue per unit case with transactions outpacing volume.
"Looking ahead, we remain confident in the resilience of our categories, despite the ongoing dynamic outlook. We have fantastic activation plans to build on our momentum, including the Women's World Cup, to engage customers and consumers. We also continue to actively manage our pricing and promotional spend to remain affordable and relevant to our consumers. Given our strong first half, we are raising revenue, operating profit and free cash flow guidance[1] for FY23. This demonstrates the strength of our business and ability to deliver continued shareholder value. This is all underpinned by our progress on sustainability, our talented and engaged colleagues, and our strong relationships with The Coca-Cola Company, our other brand partners, and our customers, who continue to share in our success."

• NARTD YTD value share gains[5] across measured channels both in-store (+10bps) & online (+90bps)
• Comparable volume +1.0%[6] (Europe: +2.5%; API: -5.5%) driven by good underlying demand in developed markets & solid in-market execution offset by strategic SKU rationalisation as part of our long-term transformation in Indonesia
◦ Away from Home (AFH) channel comparable volume: +0.5%[6] (+0.5% vs 2019) with good underlying demand, ahead of pre-pandemic levels
◦ Home channel comparable volume: +1.0%[6] (+8.5% vs 2019) reflecting resilient growth as at-home occasion trends continue
• Transactions outpaced volume growth in Europe, Australia & NZ
• Revenue per unit case +10.0%[2],[4] (Europe: +9.0%; API: +13.0%) reflecting the annualisation of last year's headline price increases, & this year's headline price increases across most of our markets, alongside favourable pack & brand mix
Q2 Reported +5.5%; Q2 Fx-neutral +8.0%[4]
• Comparable volume -1.5%[6] (Europe: +0.5%; API: -11.0%) reflecting good underlying demand in developed markets & tough comparables (Q2 22 pro forma comparable volume: +10.5%) offset by the timing of Ramadan & the strategic SKU rationalisation in Indonesia
◦ AFH channel comparable volume: -3.0%[6] reflecting last year's rebound following the removal of restrictions & recovery of tourism, & favourable weather in Europe
◦ Home channel comparable volume: -1.0%[6]
• Revenue per unit case +10.0%[2],[4] (Europe: +9.5%; API: +13.0%) driven by positive headline price increases & promotional optimisation alongside favourable pack & brand mix
H1 Operating profit
Reported +21.0%; Fx-neutral +13.0%[4]
• Cost of sales per unit case +9.0%[2],[4] reflecting increased revenue per unit case driving higher concentrate costs, & inflation in commodities & manufacturing
• Comparable operating profit of €1,165m, +13.0%[4] reflecting strong top-line, our efficiency programmes & continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation
• Comparable diluted EPS of €1.85, +17.0%[4] (reported +27.5%)

• See separate release on Investors section of our website for more detail (https://ir.cocacolaep.com/financial-reports-and-results/financial-releases)
Other
• Free cash flow: Generated strong free cash flow of €850m reflecting strong performance (net cashflows from operating activities of €1,307m), supporting our journey to return to our target leverage range of Net debt:Adjusted EBITDA[1] of 2.5x-3x. At the end of 2022, Net debt:Adjusted EBITDA[1] was 3.5x
• Strategic portfolio choices:
◦ Australia & NZ Spirits & ARTD[8] category: CCEP plans to maximise its extensive knowledge in the attractive & fast growing ARTD category by launching new scalable offerings aligned with The Coca-Cola Company. In this context, CCEP & Beam Suntory will move forward independently. Effective from the date of contract expiry (30 June 2025 in Australia & 31 December 2025 in NZ)
◦ Capri Sun: Following a successful sales & distribution partnership in Europe, CCEP & Capri Sun will move forward independently, consistent with their respective strategies. Will come into effect during 2024 enabling an orderly transition
◦ Insignificant impact on CCEP volume, revenue & operating profit[4],[9] from the above

Forward-Looking Statements |
This document contains statements, estimates or projections that constitute "forward-looking statements" concerning the financial condition, performance, results, guidance and outlook, dividends, consequences of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and divestitures, including the proposed joint venture with Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. (AEV) and acquisition of Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI), strategy and objectives of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and its subsidiaries (together CCEP or the Group). Generally, the words "ambition", "target", "aim", "believe", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "project", "plan", "seek", "may", "could", "would", "should", "might", "will", "forecast", "outlook", "guidance", "possible", "potential", "predict", "objective" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from CCEP's historical experience and present expectations or projections. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. These risks include but are not limited to:
1. those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of CCEP's 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 17 March 2023 and as updated and supplemented with the additional information set forth in the "Principal Risks and Risk Factors" section of this document;
2. risks and uncertainties relating to the global supply chain, including impact from war in Ukraine and increasing geopolitical tension including in the Asia Pacific region, such as the risk that the business will not be able to guarantee sufficient supply of raw materials, supplies, finished goods, natural gas and oil and increased state-sponsored cyber risks;
3. risks and uncertainties relating to the global economy and/or a potential recession in one or more countries, including risks from elevated inflation, price increases, price elasticity, disposable income of consumers and employees, pressure on and from suppliers, increased fraud, and the perception or manifestation of a global economic downturn;
4. risks and uncertainties relating to potential global energy crisis, with potential interruptions and shortages in the global energy supply, specifically the natural gas supply in our territories. Energy shortages at our sites, our suppliers and customers could cause interruptions to our supply chain and capability to meet our production and distribution targets;
5. risks and uncertainties relating to potential water use reductions due to regulations by national and regional authorities leading to a potential temporary decrease in production volume; and
6. risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed joint venture with AEV and acquisition of CCBPI, including the risk that the proposed transactions may not be consummated on the currently contemplated terms or at all, or that our integration of CCBPI's business and operations may not be successful or may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected.
Due to these risks, CCEP's actual future financial condition, results of operations, and business activities, including its results, dividend payments, capital and leverage ratios, growth, including growth in revenue, cost of sales per unit case and operating profit, free cash flow, market share, tax rate, efficiency savings, achievement of sustainability goals, including net zero emissions and recycling initiatives, capital expenditures, the results of the acquisition of the minority share of our Indonesian business, our agreements relating to and results of the proposed joint venture with AEV and acquisition of CCBPI, and ability to remain in compliance with existing and future regulatory compliance, may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in forward-looking statements. These risks may also adversely affect CCEP's share price. Additional risks that may impact CCEP's future financial condition and performance are identified in filings with the SEC which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. CCEP does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required under applicable rules, laws and regulations. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this filing and in any other of CCEP's public statements may prove to be incorrect.

Note Regarding the Presentation of Alternative Performance Measures |
Alternative Performance Measures
We use certain alternative performance measures (non-GAAP performance measures) to make financial, operating and planning decisions and to evaluate and report performance. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors and as such, where clearly identified, we have included certain alternative performance measures in this document to allow investors to better analyse our business performance and allow for greater comparability. To do so, we have excluded items affecting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance as described below. The alternative performance measures included herein should be read in conjunction with and do not replace the directly reconcilable GAAP measures.
For purposes of this document, the following terms are defined:
''As reported'' are results extracted from our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
"Comparable'' is defined as results excluding items impacting comparability, which include restructuring charges, income arising from the ownership of certain mineral rights in Australia, gain on sale of sub-strata and associated mineral rights in Australia, net impact related to European flooding and acquisition and integration related costs. Comparable volume is also adjusted for selling days.
''Fx-neutral'' is defined as period results excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Foreign exchange impact is calculated by recasting current year results at prior year exchange rates.
''Capex'' or "Capital expenditures'' is defined as purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalised software, plus payments of principal on lease obligations, less proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment. Capex is used as a measure to ensure that cash spending on capital investment is in line with the Group's overall strategy for the use of cash.
''Free cash flow'' is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures (as defined above) and interest paid. Free cash flow is used as a measure of the Group's cash generation from operating activities, taking into account investments in property, plant and equipment and non-discretionary lease and interest payments. Free cash flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.
''Adjusted EBITDA'' is calculated as Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), after adding back items impacting the comparability of period over period financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. Further, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs, and although depreciation and amortisation are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortised are likely to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements.
''Net Debt'' is defined as the net of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments less borrowings and adjusted for the fair value of hedging instruments related to borrowings and other financial assets/liabilities related to borrowings. We believe that reporting net debt is useful as it reflects a metric used by the Group to assess cash management and leverage. In addition, the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to analyse our operating performance in the context of targeted financial leverage.
''Dividend payout ratio'' is defined as dividends as a proportion of comparable profit after tax.
Additionally, within this document, we provide certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial Information, which management uses for planning and measuring performance. We are not able to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures to reported measures without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact or exact timing of items that may impact comparability throughout year.
Unless otherwise stated, percent amounts are rounded to the nearest 0.5%.

[1] Amounts represent restructuring charges related to business transformation activities.
[2] Amounts represent cost associated with the acquisition and integration of CCL.
For the six months ending 30 June 2023, reported operating expenses were €2,153 million, up 6.5% versus 2022.
Comparable operating expenses were €2,111 million for the same period, up 9.5% versus 2022, reflecting the impact of inflation and higher volumes, partially offset by the benefit of ongoing efficiency programmes and our continuous efforts on discretionary spend optimisation.
Restructuring charges in operating expenses of €42 million related to various productivity initiatives were recognised in the six month period ending 30 June 2023.This compares to restructuring charges of €95 million incurred in the six month period ending 1 July 2022, primarily attributable to €81 million of expense recognised in connection with the transformation of the full service vending operations and related initiatives in Germany.

Supplemental Financial Information - Effective Tax Rate |
The effective tax rate was 22% and 25% for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and 1 July 2022, respectively, and 22% for the years ended 31 December 2022.
For the six months ending 30 June 2023, the effective tax rate reflects the impact of having operations outside the UK which are taxed at rates other than the statutory UK rate of 23.5%, and adjustments made in respect of prior periods.
We expect our full year 2023 comparable effective tax rate to be approximately 24%.

______________________
[1] Net debt includes adjustments for the fair value of derivative instruments used to hedge both currency and interest rate risk on the Group's borrowings. In addition, net debt also includes other financial assets/liabilities relating to cash collateral pledged by/to external parties on hedging instruments related to borrowings.
[2] Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 include €37 million and €102 million of cash in Papua New Guinea Kina respectively. Presently, there are government-imposed currency controls which impact the extent to which the cash held in Papua New Guinea can be converted into foreign currency and remitted for use elsewhere in the Group.
[3] Short term investments are term cash deposits held in API and Europe with maturity dates when acquired of greater than three months and less than one year. These short term investments are held with counterparties that are continually assessed with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. Short term investments as at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 include €61 million and €49 million of assets in Papua New Guinea Kina respectively, subject to the same currency controls outlined above.
[4] Both borrowings and cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2023 include €188 million in relation to a notional pooling agreement for which an offsetting agreement is in place which does not meet the criteria for net presentation on the statement of financial position.

Principal Risks and Risk Factors |
The Group faces a number of risks and uncertainties that may have an adverse effect on its operations, performance and future prospects and has a robust risk management programme to assess these and evaluate strategies to manage them. The principal risks and risk factors in our 2022 Integrated Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2022 ('2022 Integrated Report') (pages 64 to 71 and 223 to 229 respectively) continue to represent our risks.
Since the publication of the Integrated Report in March, the macro risk environment remains similar and the reported key control mitigations continue to be appropriate and effective. Although we don't foresee in the near term an escalation of current geopolitical tensions, freight disruptions, shortages and sanctions would be the consequences and have a significant impact on global trade. CCEP is working to de-risk its supply chain and put in place plans to secure commodities in particular with our Asian Pacific suppliers. We will continue to monitor the developments of the situation and any other potential impacts.
Economic conditions in our markets remain challenging with increases in inflation and interest rates expected to continue through the remainder of 2023. This may lead to affordability issues for consumers and pricing pressure from retail customers. We continue to focus on the wellbeing and security of our people and we are carefully considering the situation and maintaining an open dialogue and good relations with our social partners. We have not experienced material impacts on our business from labour issues.
We continue to monitor the developments of the war in Ukraine, which has impacted the supply of raw materials, supplies, finished goods, gas/oil/energy and increased cyber risks.
As part of our risk management governance and routines we continuously monitor the risk landscape and discuss with business leaders risk trends every quarter, velocity and actions to be taken, as well as scanning for future risks. Based on that exercise we do not intend to change the principal risk ratings included in our 2022 Integrated Report, but we have identified some trends in this first half of 2023.
Water scarcity has been an issue in this first half of the year, in particular in France and Spain, where authorities have issued contingency plans. In addition to strong water management routines, a cross functional team has been using scenario planning to assess the potential impact. As of today we consider the risk low. We maintain good relations with the local authorities based on the credibility of our water management strategy and the strict discipline our demand planning teams apply for SKU prioritisation and rationalisation.
We have noticed an increase of cyber-attacks to other bottlers within the Coca-Cola system and suppliers during the first half of the year. CCEP has responded with increased training and awareness of phishing and social engineering attacks, increased focus on remediating technical vulnerabilities as well as increasing the level of testing and exercising.
We continue to be under pressure from customers and authorities to keep prices low despite the increase in costs. Our commercial teams continue to work positively with customers to mitigate this risk.
When it comes to our products, discussions on potential taxes to soft drinks and plastic continue in different countries across our territories including Spain, the Netherlands, Indonesia and Sweden. Based on our experience we engage in open and collaborative discussions with authorities and other stakeholders. We are also evaluating and responding appropriately to recent reports in relation to sweeteners, considering the risk of regulation, litigation and reputational damage.

Related Parties |
Related party disclosures are presented in Note 10 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements contained in this interim management report.
|
Going Concern |
As part of the Directors' consideration of the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Directors have considered the Group's financial performance in the period and have taken into account its current cash position and its access to a €1.95 billion undrawn committed credit facility. Further, the Directors have considered the current cash flow forecast, including a downside stress test, which supports the Group's ability to continue to generate cash flows during the next 12 months.
In addition, the Group expects to complete the acquisition of 60% of Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. around the end of 2023 subject to the finalisation of due diligence, signing definitive agreements and obtaining regulatory approval. The acquisition is expected to be funded by a combination of existing liquidity and 3rd party borrowing. In making their going concern assessment, the Directors have considered scenarios for the combined Group.
On this basis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the Directors do not believe there are any material uncertainties to disclose in relation to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
|
Responsibility Statement |
The Directors of the Company confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
• The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (DTR).
• The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by the DTR 4.2.7 R and DTR 4.2.8 R as follows:
• DTR 4.2.7 R: (1) an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year, and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and (2) a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and
• DTR 4.2.8 R: (1) related parties transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during that period, and (2) any changes in the related parties transactions described in the last annual report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first six months of the current financial year.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO COCA-COLA EUROPACIFIC PARTNERS PLC
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2023 which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Interim Income Statement, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity and the related explanatory notes 1 - 14. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the European Union, U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the European Union, and U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis of Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.
This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Responsibilities of the directors
The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information
In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together CCEP, or the Group) are a leading consumer goods group in Western Europe and the Asia Pacific region, making, selling and distributing an extensive range of primarily non-alcoholic ready to drink beverages.
The Company has ordinary shares with a nominal value of €0.01 per share (Shares). CCEP is a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with the registered number in England of 09717350. The Group's Shares are listed and traded on Euronext Amsterdam, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, London Stock Exchange and on the Spanish Stock Exchanges. The address of the Company's registered office is Pemberton House, Bakers Road, Uxbridge, UB8 1EZ, United Kingdom.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. They have been reviewed but not audited by the Group's auditor. The statutory accounts for the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022, which were prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's opinion on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement made under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the U.K. adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, the International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, the International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and should be read in conjunction with our 2022 consolidated financial statements. The annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 will be prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022. The policy for recognising income taxes in the interim period is consistent with that applied in previous interim periods and is described in Note 11.
On 12 May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board ( "the IASB") issued International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules - Amendments to IAS 12 ("the Amendments"). The Amendments apply with immediate effect and introduce a mandatory temporary exception from the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the OECD's Pillar Two Model Rules. On 20 June 2023, Finance (No.2) Act 2023 was substantively enacted in the UK, introducing a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%. The legislation implements a domestic top-up tax and a multinational top-up tax, effective for accounting periods starting on or after 31 December 2023. The Group has applied the exception under the IAS 12 amendment to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to top-up income in preparing its condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of the six month period ended 30 June 2023.
Other amendments and interpretations also apply for the first time in 2023, but do not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group.
Results are presented for the interim period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023.
The Group's financial year ends on 31 December. For half-yearly reporting convenience, the first six month period closes on the Friday closest to the end of the interim calendar period. There is no change in selling days between the six months ended 30 June 2023 versus the six months ended 1 July 2022, and there will be equal selling days in the second six months of 2023 versus the second six months of 2022 (based upon a standard five-day selling week).
The following table summarises the number of selling days, for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 (based on a standard five-day selling week):

Operating results for the first half of 2023 may not be indicative of the results expected for the year ended 31 December 2023 as sales of the Group's products are seasonal. In Europe, the second and third quarters typically account for higher unit sales of the Group's products than the first and fourth quarters. In the Group's Asia Pacific territories, the fourth quarter would typically reflect higher sales volumes in the year. The seasonality of the Group's sales volume, combined with the accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation, amortisation, rent and interest expense, impacts the Group's results for the first half of the year. Additionally, year-over-year shifts in holidays, selling days and weather patterns can impact the Group's results on an annual or half-yearly basis.
The Group's reporting currency is the Euro. CCEP translates the income statements of non-Euro functional currency subsidiary operations to the Euro at average exchange rates and the balance sheets at the closing exchange rate as at the end of the period.
The principal exchange rates used for translation purposes in respect of one Euro were:

OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group derives its revenues through a single business activity, which is making, selling and distributing an extensive range of primarily non-alcoholic ready to drink beverages. The Group's Board continues to be its Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which allocates resources and evaluates performance of its operating segments based on volume, revenue and comparable operating profit. Comparable operating profit excludes items impacting the comparability of period over period financial performance.
The following table provides a reconciliation between reportable segment operating profit and consolidated profit before tax:

[1] Comparable operating profit includes comparable depreciation and amortisation of €272 million and €101 million for Europe and API respectively, for the six months ended 30 June 2023. Comparable depreciation and amortisation charges for the six months ended 1 July 2022 totalled €273 million and €114 million, for Europe and API respectively.
[2] Items impacting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance for 2023 primarily include €53 million of other income related to the royalties arising from the ownership of certain mineral rights in Australia (€18 million) and the proceeds from the sale of sub-strata and associated mineral rights (€35 million), partially offset by restructuring charges of €51 million. Items impacting the comparability for 2022 primarily include restructuring charges of €95 million, partially offset by net insurance recoveries received of €12 million arising from the July 2021 flooding events.
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Group's revenue during the six months ended 30 June 2023 and 1 July 2022.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit after taxes by the weighted average number of Shares in issue and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities, principally share options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of specified market and/or performance conditions are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation based on the number of Shares that would be issuable if the end of the period was the end of the contingency period.
The following table summarises basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods presented:

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are categorised in the fair value hierarchy as described in our 2022 consolidated financial statements.
The fair values of the Group's cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade accounts receivable, amounts receivable from related parties, trade and other payables, and amounts payable to related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
The fair values of the Group's borrowings are estimated based on borrowings with similar maturities and credit quality and current market interest rates. These are categorised in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the Group uses certain pricing models and quoted prices for similar liabilities in active markets in assessing their fair values. The total fair value of borrowings as at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, was €10.6 billion and €10.5 billion, respectively. This compared to the carrying value of total borrowings as at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 of €11.8 billion and €11.9 billion, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for further details regarding the Group's borrowings.
The Group's derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, which is determined using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument taking into account credit risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps) are determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, the derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates. The standard valuation model for the option contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource. As at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, the total value of derivative assets was €367 million and €448 million, respectively. As at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, the total value of derivative liabilities was €329 million and €263 million, respectively. During the period, €38 million of losses have been recorded within Other Comprehensive Income, primarily related to decreases in fair value on commodity related hedging instruments.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period. There have been no transfers between levels during the periods presented.
During the six month period ending 30 June 2023, the Group implemented a new gas and power hedging program to manage its exposure to changes in commodity prices in relation to its purchases of power and gas, by entering into financial swaps designated in a cash flow hedge relationship. As at 30 June 2023 the notional value of the swaps was €139 million and amounts of €1 million and €18 million were included in derivative assets and derivative liabilities respectively.
The Group's activities expose it to several financial risks including market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures to minimise the uncertainties these risks create over the Group's future cash flows. Such policies are developed and approved by the Group's Treasury and Commodities Risk Committee through the authority provided to it by the Group's Board of Directors. There have been no changes in the risk management policies since the year end.

As at 31 December 2022 amounts receivable from related parties and amounts payable to related parties included €6 million and €19 million respectively related to transactions with joint ventures, associates and other related parties.
TAXES
Taxes on income in interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual profit or loss.
The effective tax rate (ETR) was 22% and 25% for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and 1 July 2022, respectively, and 22% for the year ended 31 December 2022. The ETR has been calculated by applying the weighted average annual ETR, excluding discrete items, of 25% to the profit before tax for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and 1 July 2022, respectively.
The ETR of 22% which is lower than statutory UK rate of 23.5% reflects the impact of having operations outside the UK which are taxed at rates other than the statutory UK rate and adjustments made in respect of prior periods.

The Group is routinely under audit by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. Due to their nature, such proceedings and tax matters involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, settlements between affected parties and/or governmental actions. The probability of outcome is assessed and accrued as a liability and/or disclosed, as appropriate. The Group maintains provisions for uncertainty related to these tax matters that it believes appropriately reflect its risk. As at 30 June 2023, €147 million (1 July 2022: €154 million) of these provisions is included in current tax liabilities and the remainder is included in non-current tax liabilities.
The Group reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period and adjusts them based on changing facts and circumstances. Due to the uncertainty associated with tax matters, it is possible that at some future date, liabilities resulting from audits or litigation could vary significantly from the Group's provisions. When an uncertain tax liability is regarded as probable, it is measured on the basis of the Group's best estimate.
The Group has received tax assessments in certain jurisdictions for potential tax related to the Group's purchases of concentrate. The value of the Group's concentrate purchases is significant, and therefore, the tax assessments are substantial. The Group strongly believes the application of tax has no technical merit based on applicable tax law, and its tax position would be sustained. Accordingly, the Group has not recorded a tax liability for these assessments and is vigorously defending its position against these assessments.

During the 1st half of 2023, the Group has issued approximately €505 million of financial guarantees related to various tax matters. These guarantees have various terms and the amounts represent the maximum potential future payments we could be required to make under the guarantees. No significant additional liabilities requiring financial statement recognition are expected to arise from the guarantees issued.
There have been no significant changes in the commitments of the Group since 31 December 2022.
There have been no significant changes in contingencies since 31 December 2022.
Refer to Note 23 of the 2022 consolidated financial statements for further details about the Group's guarantees, commitments and contingencies.
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the six months ended 30 June 2023 totalled €53 million (1 July 2022: €0 million). The balance is attributable to the following activities.
The Group recognised €18 million of royalty income arising from the ownership of mineral rights in Queensland, Australia. On 7 March 2023 the Group entered into an agreement to sell the sub-strata and associated mineral rights. Upon regulatory approval, the transaction was consummated in April 2023. The total consideration approximated €35 million.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 7 July 2023, the Group completed the sale of property in Germany for a total consideration of €80 million. The property is classified as assets held for sale in our condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023.
On 2 August 2023, the Group announced that CCEP and Beam Suntory will discontinue their relationship effective 1 July 2025 (Australia) and 1 January 2026 (New Zealand). CCEP will remain the exclusive manufacturing, sales and distribution partner for Beam Suntory in Australia and New Zealand through the end of the current contractual terms set to expire on 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2025, respectively. As at 30 June 2023, finite-lived intangible assets of €127 million were reflected in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position related to the Beam Suntory distribution rights, primarily attributable to those available in Australia. The discontinuance of the relationship will trigger a change in the assigned useful economic life of the intangible assets effective from the second half of 2023, shortening the amortization period.
On 2 August 2023, the Group announced that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) for the joint acquisition of 100% of the entire existing issued share capital of
Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI), a wholly owned subsidiary of TCCC, for a total cash consideration of $1.8 billion on a debt- and cash-free basis. The transaction is expected to be completed around the end of 2023, subject to the finalisation of due diligence, signing definitive agreements and obtaining regulatory approval. Upon completion, CCEP will pay 60% of the total cash consideration commensurate with the proposed 60:40 ownership structure of CCBPI.
