108 == Brands ==
109
110 Coca-Cola HBC is a customer-centric business aiming to provide value to its customers by growing their business and through perfect execution in the marketplace.
111
112
113 The company grow by supporting its customers’ growth. To do this, the company leverage its 24/7 portfolio and segmented sales execution to grow the overall beverage industry, focusing on areas of high value opportunity and executing with excellence.
114
115

122 = Markets =
123
124 The company manage and report on its business by grouping its geographical markets into three segments: emerging, developing and established markets. These groupings are based on a wide range of criteria, including socio-economic similarities, GDP per capita, consumption of sparkling drinks per capita and the state of development of the local drinks market.{{footnote}}https://www.coca-colahellenic.com/en/about-us/what-we-do/markets{{/footnote}}
125
126
127 == Established Markets ==
128
129 The company operate in the established markets: Austria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Switzerland.
130
131
132 These countries share a tradition of political and economic stability and similar economic features, not least, high levels of disposable income per capita. This prosperity and economic security supports the affordability of its products, notably its single-serve packages.
133
134
135 Established countries generally show high levels of consumer sophistication. There are signs of activities concentrating in the retail sector – a critical indication for future channel development. A shift in demand towards domestic consumption, reflecting a reduction in disposable income, further supports this trend. In this context, activation at final points of sale is a key focus for its marketing and sales efforts.
136
137
138 == Developing Markets ==
139
140 The company operate in the developing markets: Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.
141
142
143 While developing markets have market-oriented economies, they generally have lower disposable income per capita than its established markets. In addition, these countries can be exposed to periods of economic volatility. Entry to the European Union has resulted in increased political stability, as countries increasingly conform to the EU’s principles, objectives and regulations.
144
145
146 == Emerging Markets ==
147
148 The company operate in the emerging markets: Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Egypt, Moldova, Montenegro, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Romania, the Russian Federation, Serbia (including the Republic of Kosovo) and Ukraine.
149
150
151 These countries share relatively similar political and economic volatility, with lower per capita GDP than its developing or established segments. As a result, consumer demand is especially price sensitive, making the affordability of Coca Cola HBC’s products even more important.
152
153
154 The company deliver its products with a strategy of specialised revenue growth management, packaging and promotional programmes – these are the considerations at the core of its response to the nuances of local economic conditions.

162 **Zoran Bogdanovic, Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola HBC AG, commented:**{{footnote}}https://www.coca-colahellenic.com/en/media/news/financial_news/2022/2021-full-year-results{{/footnote}}
163
164
165 “The business has delivered a very strong recovery in 2021, with all key metrics above pre-pandemic levels, the result of consistent and disciplined focus on its strategic priorities over the last few years. The company finished the year with strong revenue growth, its highest ever EBIT margin and free cash flow while continuing to gain share. This performance demonstrates the strength of its 24/7 brand portfolio, revenue growth management capabilities and execution excellence in its markets. It is driven by the strong drive and passion of its people, who continue to show great creativity and adaptability in navigating the volatile operating environment while nurturing its culture which embraces change, challenge and care. The company's results and strong future plans are also a reflection of its stronger than ever partnership with The Coca-Cola Company.
166
167
168 2021 also marked 70 years since its early beginnings in Nigeria and I am more excited than ever by the growth potential of its business, further strengthened with the addition of Egypt to its country portfolio.
169
170
171 Revenue growth management actions focused behind both premium and affordable offers, as well as pricing and ongoing productivity improvements have enabled it to continue investing behind its strategic priorities, including in capabilities development, whilst achieving EBIT margin expansion.
172
173
174 Coca-Cola HBC is encouraged by the momentum the company see in the business. The company expect 2022 to be a year of strong sales supported by ongoing volume momentum, pricing actions and beneficial category mix. While mindful of inflationary headwinds and other risks, its track record and continuous focus on efficiencies give me confidence in delivering another year of EBIT growth. Given the positive long-term outlook for the business Coca-Cola HBC is increasing its targeted dividend pay-out range to 40-50%.”
