Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP)
confirms
admission to the FTSE 100
Index
CCEP is one of the world's leading
consumer goods companies, operating principally in the large and
growing non-alcoholic ready to drink market spanning 31 countries
across Western Europe and Australia, Pacific and Southeast
Asia.
CCEP today notes the announcement
issued on 5 March 2025 by FTSE Russell, confirming that CCEP will
be included as a constituent of the FTSE 100 and FTSE All Share
Indices from the close of business on Friday, 21 March
2025.
This follows (i) the announcement by
FTSE Russell on 5 February 2025 that it had assigned a UK
nationality to CCEP for the purposes of FTSE UK Index Series
eligibility; and (ii) the announcement by CCEP on 15 November 2024
confirming approval by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") of
CCEP's transfer of listing to the Equity Shares (Commercial
Companies) category of the Official List of the FCA.
Sol Daurella, Chair, said:
"Admission to the UK's blue chip index represents a
significant milestone for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. It is
also a moment to reflect on our commitment to the British market,
where Coca-Cola was first sold 125 years ago, and our confidence in
CCEP's future."
Damian Gammell, CEO, said:
"Our inclusion in the FTSE 100 and All Share comes after
another solid year of delivery in 2024, which demonstrated the
strength of our business and is testament to our great people,
brands and execution across our 31 markets. We expect this move,
alongside our proven track record of delivering shareholder value,
to make CCEP accessible to more investors."

statements" concerning the financial condition, performance,
results, guidance and outlook, dividends, consequences of mergers,
acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures, strategy and objectives
of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and its subsidiaries
(together CCEP or the Group). Generally, the words "ambition",

"anticipate", "project", "plan", "seek", "may", "could", "would",
"should", "might", "will", "forecast", "outlook", "guidance",
"possible", "potential", "predict", "objective" and similar

are not historical in nature.
Forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks that could cause actual results to differ
materially. Forward-looking statements are based upon various
assumptions as well as 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. Factors that, in CCEP's view, could
cause such actual results to differ materially from forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the
"Risk Factors" section of CCEP's 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F
filed with the SEC on 15 March 2024 and subsequent filings,
including, but not limited to: changes in the marketplace; changes
in relationships with large customers; adverse weather conditions;
importation of other bottlers' products into our territories;
deterioration of global and local economic and political
conditions; increases in costs of raw materials; changes in
interest rates or debt rating; deterioration in political unity
within the European Union; defaults of or failures by counterparty
financial institutions; changes in tax law in countries in which we
operate; additional levies of taxes; legal changes in our status;
waste and pollution, health concerns perceptions, and recycling
matters related to packaging; global or regional catastrophic
events; cyberattacks against us or our customers or suppliers;
technology failures; initiatives to realise cost savings;
calculating infrastructure investment; executing on our acquisition
strategy; costs, limitations of supplies, and quality of raw
materials; maintenance of brand image and product quality; managing
workplace health, safety and security; water scarcity and
regulations; climate change and legal and regulatory responses
thereto; other legal, regulatory and compliance considerations;
anti-corruption laws, regulations, and sanction programmes; legal
claims against suppliers; litigation and legal proceedings against
us; attracting, retaining and motivating employees; our
relationship with TCCC and other franchisors; and differing views
among our shareholders.
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, 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. 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.
