PRESS RELEASE |  |
| | |
During the first quarter 2023, CCU posted a recovery in its
financial results, with a stable EBITDA from previous year in a tough economic environment. This better performance was mostly driven
by our main Operating segment, Chile, as a consequence of the implementation of our recovery profitability regional plan “HerCCUles
2023”. The upward trend in results during the last quarters showed us that we are in the right path; nonetheless, we are aware that
the results of 1Q23 are only the beginning, and to consolidate this trend we will continue focusing on the 6 pillars of “HerCCUles
2023”, which are: (1) maintain business scale, (2) strengthen revenue management efforts, (3) enhance the CCU Transformation program to deliver efficiency gains, (4) optimize CAPEX and working capital, (5) focus on core brands
and high volume/margin innovations, and (6) continue investing in our brand equity.
Before describing the performance of the quarter, it is important
to mention that results from 1Q22 were still highly influenced by a particularly positive scenario for consumption in Chile, as consolidated
volumes during that quarter were up 7.1% versus 1Q21. After that, volumes contracted, compared with the same quarter of the previous year,
2.9%, 2.8% and 5.5% in the 2Q22, 3Q22, and 4Q22, respectively. Therefore, in spite of decreasing volumes in 1Q23, we are still on track
to maintain business scale in 2023 (“HerCCUles” pillar #1).
During 1Q23, our revenues expanded 4.5%, boosted by 8.1% growth
in average prices in CLP, partially offset by a low-single digit drop in volumes (3.3%). The lower volumes were caused by contractions
in all the Operating segments, mostly due to a high comparison base, as mentioned above, especially in Chile, a weaker consumption environment
in Argentina, and lower wine exports. The better average prices in CLP were mainly explained by revenue management initiatives in all
our main geographies and categories, despite negative mix effects (“HerCCUles” pillar #2”). In line with this, Gross
profit jumped 9.6%, and Gross margin rose 227 bps, from 46.2% to 48.5%, the latter also associated with lower cost pressures, as a consequence
of more favorable costs in some key packaging materials. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales deteriorated 317 bps, mainly
as a consequence of a low base of marketing expenses in 1Q22, due to phasing, and higher distribution expenses. This was partially compensated
with efficiencies through all our operating segments, which will be more reflected during the rest of the year (“HerCCUles”
pillar #3”). In all, EBITDA reached CLP 135,377 million, a 0.2% increase, and EBITDA margin contracted 80 bps, from 19.3% to 18.5%. The slight expansion in EBITDA is surely
a good start to recover our financial results, although more efforts are needed to consolidate the profitability improvement in an inflationary
scenario. Regarding Net income, we totalized a gain of CLP 58,368 million, a 9.6% drop, associated with a lower Non-operating result mostly
due to higher financial costs and a higher loss in Equity and income of JVs and associated.
Additionally, in 1Q23 we delivered a stronger cash generation.
Net cash inflow from operating activities expanded by CLP 42,746 million versus 1Q22, while Net cash (outflow) from investing activities
were stable versus last year (“HerCCUles” pillar #4”). Furthermore, we reduced our portfolio complexity while brand
equity remained in high levels, especially in our core brands, and continued to be key to gain/maintain market share in our main categories
(“HerCCUles” pillars #5 & #6”).
In the Chile Operating segment, our results posted a positive
turning point after four consecutive quarters of contractions in EBITDA. Top line expanded 6.4%, driven by 7.6% growth in average prices,
while volumes dropped 1.1%. Prices were higher due to revenue management efforts in all our categories, partially offset by negative mix
effects in the portfolio. Volumes were resilient through the quarter, although decreased mainly associated with a tough comparison base
(volumes grew 7.6% in 1Q22 vs 1Q21). Gross profit expanded 14.9%, and Gross margin improved from 44.0% to 47.5%, also as a result of lower
cost pressures, and efficiencies in manufacturing costs. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales deteriorated 357 bps, mainly
explained by a lower comparison base in marketing expenses in 1Q22 due to phasing, and higher distribution expenses. Consequently, EBITDA
totaled CLP 99,761 million, increasing 6.8% and EBITDA margin was stable, from 20.4% to 20.5%.
In the International Business Operating segment, which includes
Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, Net sales recorded a 4.7% rise, as a result of an increase of 13.9% in average prices in CLP,
partially offset by 8.1% contraction in volumes. Industry volumes were weaker in all the geographies, but mainly in Argentina as a consequence
of a difficult economic context. The better average prices in CLP were explained by prices increasing in line with inflation in Argentina,
and revenue management initiatives in all the other geographies. Consequently, Gross profit expanded 9.3%, and Gross margin grew from
52.9% to 55.3%. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales deteriorated by 161 bps, due to a lower scale in Argentina. Altogether,
EBITDA reached CLP 35,807 million, a 7.9% expansion, and EBITDA margin reached 18.1%, improving 53 bps from 17.6%.
The Wine Operating segment faced a particularly challenging
scenario during the quarter. Revenues were down 17.7%, fully explained by weaker volumes. Average prices were flat, as revenue management
efforts in domestic markets were offset by negative mix effects in the portfolio. The lower volume was mostly attributable to exports,
which contracted in the low-twenties, associated with inventories adjustment from our clients and distributors. On the other side, domestic
volumes in Chile dropped mid-single digits. As a result of all the above, Gross profit deteriorated 32.5% and Gross margin contracted
699 bps. MSD&A expenses dropped 1.9%, although as a percentage of Net sales deteriorated by 508 bps, due to the lower revenues. In
all, EBITDA reached CLP 3,496 million, a 69.5% fall.
Regarding our main JVs and associated businesses, in Colombia,
we started 2023 with a low-single digit decrease in volumes, while in Argentina, our water business with Danone showed a low-teens expansion
in volumes. Both businesses are relevant for our regional multicategory beverage strategy, being committed to continue gaining scale to
build profitability in the future.
In 1Q23 we delivered a recovery in our financial results in
a tough economic environment. The latter was mainly driven by the implementation of “HerCCUles 2023”. For the rest of the
year we will continue executing this plan. These are the first steps to deliver profitable and sustainable growth in a volatile context.

| CONSOLIDATED
INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS – FIRST QUARTER (Exhibit 1
& 2) |
| · | Net sales were up 4.5%, explained by 8.1% increase
in average prices in CLP, partially offset by a 3.3% contraction in consolidated volumes. The higher average prices in CLP were explained
by: (i) a 7.6% growth in the Chile Operating segment, explained by revenue management initiatives, partly offset by negative mix effects
in the portfolio, and (ii) an expansion of 13.9% in the International Business Operating segment, explained by prices increasing in line
with inflation in Argentina, and revenue management initiatives in all the other geographies. In the Wine Operating segment, average prices
were flat, as revenue management efforts in domestic markets were offset by negative mix effects in the portfolio. The lower volumes were
caused by contractions in all the Operating segments as follows: a 1.1% in the Chile Operating segment, 8.1% in the International Business
Operating segment, and 17.8% in the Wine Operating segment. These reductions were mostly due to a high comparison base, especially in
Chile, a weaker consumption environment in Argentina, and lower wine exports. |
| · | Cost of sales was stable, given that the 3.5% increase
in Cost of sales per hectoliter was almost fully counterbalance by a 3.3% drop in volumes. The Chile Operating segment reported a slight
increase of 0.9% in Cost of sales per hectoliter, as a consequence of more favorable prices in some key packaging materials, especially
aluminum and efficiencies in manufacturing. In the International Business Operating segment, the Cost of sales per hectoliter expanded
8.3% in CLP, mostly explained by the negative impact from the 88.1%3 devaluation of
the ARS against the USD in our USD-linked costs and a higher inflation in Argentina. In the Wine Operating segment, the Cost of sales
per hectoliter grew 11.6%, mostly due to higher costs in packaging materials. |
| · | Gross profit, as a result of the above, reached CLP
354,945 million, a 9.6% expansion and Gross margin jumped 227 bps, from 46.2% to 48.5%. |
| · | MSD&A expenses were up 15.1%, and as percentage
of Net sales, deteriorated 317 bps, from 31.1% to 34.3%. The breakdown per operating segment was as follows: (i) in the Chile Operating
segment, MSD&A expenses expanded 20.4%, mainly as a consequence of a low base on marketing expenses in 1Q22, due to phasing, and higher
distribution expenses, the latter driven by higher fuel prices. As a percentage of Net sales increased 357 bps; (ii) in the International
Business Operating segment MSD&A expenses in CLP were up 8.9%, and as a percentage of Net sales expanded 161 bps, the latter as a
consequence of lower volumes in Argentina. In the Wine Operating segment, MSD&A expenses went down 1.9%, although as a percentage
of Net sales deteriorated 508 bps mainly due to the 17.8% contraction in volumes. The aforementioned effects, were partially compensated
with efficiencies through all our operating segments, which will be more reflected during the rest of the year. |
| · | EBIT reached CLP 104,222 million, a 1.6% decrease,
mainly due to a tough comparison base, lower volumes, and higher MSD&A expenses. These effects were almost fully offset by better
average prices in CLP and efficiencies. |
| · | EBITDA was up marginally 0.2%, driven by a 6.8% expansion
in Chile and a 7.9% rise in the International Business Operating segment. This was partially offset by the Wine Operating segment, which
faced a particularly challenging scenario, reducing its EBITDA by 69.5%. In addition, EBITDA margin contracted 80 bps, from 19.3% to 18.5%.
|
| · | Non-operating result totalized a loss of CLP 27,313
million, which compares with a negative result of CLP 17,924 million last year. The higher loss was explained by: (i) a worse result in
Foreign currency exchange differences by CLP 5,922 million, (ii) a higher loss by CLP 3,688 million in Net financial expenses, mainly due to a higher debt, and (iii) a lower result in Equity and
income of JVs and associated by CLP 3,254 million, mainly associated with weaker financial results from our JVs in Colombia and Argentina.
These effects were partially compensated by: (i) a better result in Results as per adjustment units by CLP 1,936 million, and (ii) a lower
loss in other gains/(losses) by CLP 1,539 million, mostly explained by a better result in derivative contracts4.
|
| · | Income taxes reached CLP 15,348 million, versus CLP
17,565 million last year. The lower taxes were mostly explained by a lower taxable income. |
| · | Net income reached a gain of CLP 58,368 million, contracting
9.6% from CLP 64,544 million recorded last year. |

OPERATING SEGMENTS FIRST QUARTER |
CHILE OPERATING SEGMENT
In the Chile Operating segment, our results posted a positive
turning point after four consecutive quarters of contractions. Top line expanded 6.4%, driven by 7.6% growth in average prices, while
volumes dropped 1.1%. Prices were higher due to revenue management efforts in all our categories, partially offset by negative mix effects
in the portfolio. Volumes were resilient through the quarter, although decreased mainly associated with a tough comparison base (volumes
grew 7.6% in 1Q22 vs 1Q21). Gross profit expanded 14.9%, and Gross margin improved from 44.0% to 47.5%, also as a result of lower cost
pressures, and efficiencies in manufacturing costs. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales deteriorated 357 bps, mainly explained
by a lower comparison base in marketing expenses in 1Q22 due to phasing, and higher distribution expenses. Consequently, EBITDA totaled
CLP 99,761 million, increasing 6.8% and EBITDA margin was stable, from 20.4% to 20.5%.
In January 2023, 20 years have passed since the beginning
of the strategic alliance with Heineken, the second largest brewery in the world and a shareholder of CCU through a 50/50 joint venture
with Quiñenco. Since the beginning of this alliance, we have multiplied our consolidated volumes by 3.4 times, and increased our
Net income by 5.4 times. In addition, this joint work has helped us to broaden our portfolio and to adopt the best production and marketing
practices in all our categories, especially in beer.
In terms of innovation, through a license with PepsiCo we
added the brand Rockstar, an energy drink with natural ingredients, to strengthened our position as a leader in the energy drink category.
Rockstar is among the three best-selling energy brands in the world, with presence in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom. In
addition, our water brand MAS, added a Mango & Passion fruit flavor to its broad variety of options.
Regarding sustainability initiatives, CCU was distinguished
among the 100 most responsible companies in the MERCO Responsibility ESG Chile 2022 ranking, which evaluated concrete progress on issues
related to the environment, customers and communities, and ethical and corporate governance metrics. CCU achieved the 1st place in the
beverage sector for the fourth consecutive year. Also, during the quarter our sport drink brand Gatorade inaugurates the first sport court
built with more than 2 tons of recycled PET in Chile. This was a joint work with the communities and will have an impact of approximately
1,500 people that live nearby. In addition, as a response to the fires that affected the south of Chile during the quarter, CCU rapidly
helped in different ways to those who fought the fire and those who were affected by them. Among the initiatives that we developed are:
(i) we donated over 75 thousand liters of products to hydrate firefighters, police officers, brigade members and volunteers among others,
(ii) together with “Desafio Levantemos Chile”, we contributed rapidly with three trucks with water to reach the most affected
zones by wildfires, and (iii) an internal donation campaign with our employees called “1+1”, in which any donation made by
our workers, will be doubled by CCU, also to help the families that were affected by the fires.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
OPERATING SEGMENT
In the International Business Operating segment, which includes
Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, Net sales recorded a 4.7% rise, as a result of an increase of 13.9% in average prices in CLP,
partially offset by 8.1% contraction in volumes. Industry volumes were weaker in all the geographies, but mainly in Argentina as a consequence
of a difficult economic context. The better average prices in CLP were explained by prices increasing in line with inflation in Argentina,
and revenue management initiatives in all the other geographies. Consequently, Gross profit expanded 9.3%, and Gross margin grew from
52.9% to 55.3%. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales deteriorated by 161 bps, due to a lower scale in Argentina. Altogether,
EBITDA reached CLP 35,807 million, a 7.9% expansion, and EBITDA margin reached 18.1%, improving 53 bps from 17.6%.
In March 2023, CCU reached irrevocable and definitive agreements
regarding Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. and Distribuidora del Paraguay S.A., which settled the exit of the Cartes group from those companies,
and the incorporation of a new partner, Sudameris Bank S.A.E.C.A. Thus, as of March 1, 2023, we increased our participation in Bebidas
del Paraguay S.A. from 50.005% to 55.007%, and in Distribuidora del Paraguay S.A. from 49.959% to 54.964%. Consequently, currently the
only shareholders of the above-mentioned companies in Paraguay are CCU, through its subsidiary CCU Inversiones II SpA, and Sudameris Bank
S.A.E.A.C. Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. and Distribuidora del Paraguay S.A are controlled by CCU.
WINE OPERATING SEGMENT
The Wine Operating segment faced a particularly challenging
scenario during the quarter. Revenues were down 17.7%, fully explained by weaker volumes. Average prices were flat, as revenue management
efforts in domestic markets were offset by negative mix effects in the portfolio. The lower volume was mostly attributable to exports,
which contracted in the low-twenties, associated with inventories adjustment from our clients and distributors. On the other side, domestic
volumes in Chile dropped mid-single digits. As a result of all the above, Gross profit deteriorated 32.5% and Gross margin contracted
699 bps. MSD&A expenses dropped 1.9%, although as a percentage of Net sales deteriorated by 508 bps, due to the lower revenues. In
all, EBITDA reached CLP 3,496 million, a 69.5% fall.
Thanks to its commitment and actions dedicated to reducing
its carbon footprint, VSPT Wine Group obtained the prestigious Gold Member category in the International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA).
The IWCA is an organization that brings together different wineries around the world in a collaborative work table, who are committed
