Exhibit 99.1
Central European Distribution Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2009 Results
Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania November 3, 2009: Central European Distribution Corporation (NASDAQ: CEDC) today announced its results for the third quarter of 2009. Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $390.1 million as compared to $452.4 million reported for the same period in 2008, which represents a decline of 14% driven primarily by the 35% average devaluation of our primary functional currencies as well as the effects of consolidation of the Russian Alcohol Group in 2009.
CEDC announced net income on a U.S. GAAP basis (as hereinafter defined) for the quarter was $47.1 million or $0.80 per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $0.73 million or $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2008. On a comparable basis, CEDC announced net income of $27.15 million, or $0.49 per fully diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to $40.52 million, or $0.88 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2008, which represents a 33% decline in net income for the period driven primarily by the 35% average devaluation of our primary functional currencies described above. As a result of the renegotiated agreements between CEDC and Lion Capital concluded in April 2009 for the staged acquisition of the equity tranches in RAG held by Lion Capital, these results include the consolidation beginning in the second quarter of 2009 of the Russian Alcohol Group, which was previously accounted for as an equity investment. The major difference between the U.S. GAAP net income and comparable non- GAAP net income reflects unrealized foreign exchange movements relating to our foreign currency denominated financing, which are more fully described below under the heading “Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” and a one-time net gain on the revaluation of our initial equity investment in the Russian Alcohol Group realized in connection with the initial consolidation of the Russian Alcohol Group financials in the second quarter of 2009. The weighted average number of shares used for calculating diluted earnings per share on a comparable basis for the third quarter of 2009 was 55.5 million, whereas for U.S. GAAP purposes the weighted average number of shares was 58.8 million, with the difference due to 3.3 million shares not yet issued, but to be issued in the future, as part of the agreement with Lion Capital referred to above. For a reconciliation of comparable net income to net income reported under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), please see the section “Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures”.
William Carey, President and CEO commented, “Our primary objective for this year has been to improve margins, streamline costs, grow market share and generate strong cash flow while operating in a soft consumer environment. We feel we continue to execute on these objectives as well as positioning the Company with our recent acquisitions of the minority ownership in our Parliament business and a portion of the minority ownership of the Russian Alcohol Group, for stronger top line growth and substantial synergies to begin early next year.”
Mr. Carey continued, “The company has continued its strategic portfolio reduction of low value/margin products in its distribution business in Poland which should be completed by the fourth quarter of 2009. The company is continuing to focus its core strategy on higher margin owned and imported lines and we believe that as the consumer demand starts to rebound the company should be well positioned with its overall strategy and superior product line to benefit from this top line expansion of its higher margin business.”
Mr. Carey continued, “Our cost cutting initiatives, which will be continuing through the end of the year 2009 as well as the continued low spirit pricing in our markets are contributing to enhanced margins in our business with gross margins to reach 36%-37% and operating margins to reach 17.5%-18.5% in the fourth quarter of 2009”
Mr. Carey also said, “As we move into the fourth quarter of 2009, we have launched two new lower mainstream vodkas in Russian where our current product portfolio does not address. We believe that the middle class will continue to evolve in Russia over the next three to five years which should drive the growth of the mainstream and sub-premium sectors in Russia where we currently are market leaders. Our export and import portfolios continue to show strong growth over third quarter 2008 even in the face of market softness and we believe we are well positioned to accelerate top line growth as regional and global consumer demand picks up”
The Company reconfirms its full year 2009 net sales guidance of $1.58 - $1.70 billion and its full year comparable fully-diluted earnings per share guidance of $2.35 - $2.50. The Company also reconfirms its full year 2010 net sales guidance of $1.80-$2.00 billion and its full year comparable fully-diluted earnings per share guidance of $3.00-$3.15.
CEDC has reported net income and fully diluted net income per share in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis, referred to in this release as comparable non-GAAP net income. CEDC’s management believes that the non-GAAP reporting giving effect to the adjustments shown in the attached reconciliation provides meaningful information and an alternative presentation useful to investors’ understanding of CEDC’s core operating results and trends. CEDC discusses results and guidance on a comparable basis in order to give investors better insight into underlying business trends from continuing operations. CEDC’s calculation of these measures may not be the same as similarly named measures presented by other companies. These measures are not presented as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a performance measure, and you should not place undue reliance on such measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures can be found in the section “Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” at the end of this press release.

A. | Represents the net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to our USD and EUR liabilities as a majority of these have been lent down to entities that have the Polish Zloty or Russian Ruble as their functional currency. The impact of foreign exchange revaluation is inherently unpredictable and we have not forecasted the impact thereof; changes in foreign exchange revaluation may have a material effect on our financial results. |
B. | Represents the proportional net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to the foreign currency liabilities included in the earnings of the Russian Alcohol Group as it has the Russian Ruble as its functional currency. The amount has been adjusted to reflect only the CEDC portion of foreign exchange gains or losses of the Russian Alcohol Group and does not include the portion attributable to the minority shareholders. The impact of foreign exchange revaluation is inherently unpredictable and we have not forecasted the impact thereof; changes in foreign exchange revaluation may have a material effect on our financial results |
C. | The Company has recorded deferred payments to Lion in connection with the RAG acquisition on the balance sheet at fair value and amortizes this discount as a non cash amortization expense over the payment period and records its investment in RAG as if it owned Lions shares. This adjustment (a) eliminates the non-cash amortization (b) increases the minority interest for the net profit attributable to the shares held by Lion Capital to reflect CEDC results as if it owned 58% of RAG without amortization of the deferred payments to Lion and (c) adjusts the fully diluted shares to reduce by shares not yet issued to Lion Capital but will be issued in the future in connection with CEDC’s acquisition of Lion Capital’s remaining interest in RAG |
D. | As of January 2009, ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141R) no longer allows for adjustments to purchase through balance after the initial reporting period. This amounts represents true up of the consideration paid to the original sellers for the Russian Alcohol Group that was settled in the 3rd quarter of 2009, as this period is after the expiration of the initial measurement period, the consideration is expensed to the P&L. |
E. | In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, which impacts the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments that allow for either mandatory or optional cash settlements. FSP APB 14-1 will impact the accounting associated with our $310.0 million senior convertible notes. This FSP requires us to recognize additional non-cash interest expense on a retrospective basis, based on the market rate for similar debt instruments without the conversion feature. Furthermore, it requires recognizing interest expense in prior periods pursuant to the retrospective accounting treatment. FSP APB 14-1 has become effective beginning in our first quarter of 2009 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all presented periods, as applicable. |
F. | As of January 2009, ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141R) cost associated with acquisitions are no longer included in the purchase price allocation, rather are expensed directly to the P&L. These amounts represents other miscellaneous costs, directly related to acquisition costs related of the Parliament acquisition in 2008 and RAG in 2009. |

A. | Represents the net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to our USD and EUR financing as these borrowings have been lent down to entities that have the Polish Zloty as the functional currency as well the net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to our USD denominated investment in Convertible Notes, issued by the Russian Alcohol Group. The impact of foreign exchange revaluation is inherently unpredictable and we have not forecasted the impact thereof; changes in foreign exchange revaluation may have a material effect on our financial results. |
B. | Represents 42% of the net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to the USD financing included earnings in the Russian Alcohol Group as the Russian Alcohol Group has the Russian Rubble as the function currency. During the 3rd quarter of 2009, CEDC accounted for its investment in the Russian Alcohol Group under the equity method of accounting and therefore this loss is included in the proportional share of equity earnings recognized by CEDC. |
C. | On June 30, 2008, CEDC terminated operations of the German import business acquired as part of the Parliament acquisition and in July 2008, moved all German import operations to a 3rd party importer. This amount represents the net loss incurred by the discontinued operation for the 3 months ended June 30, 2008. |

A. GAAP fully diluted EPS is calculated based on the forecasted GAAP earnings divided by share counts of 56.7 million weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2009, and 61.4 million weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2010. GAAP fully diluted EPS with adjusted share count is calculated based on the forecasted GAAP earnings divided by adjusted share counts of 52.7 million weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2009, and 60.6 million weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2010. Both adjusted share counts exclude the impact of 3.3 million shares to be issued to Lion Capital in 2009 and .0751 million shares to be issued to Lion Capital in 2010 in connection with CEDC’s acquisition of Lion Capital’s remaining equity interests in RAG. These shares had not been issued yet during the respective periods, and this treatment is consistent with the increase of minority impact referred to in item C below.
B. Represents the net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to our USD and EUR financing (debt as well as the convertible note which was purchased from RAG during the 2nd quarter 2009) as a majority of these borrowings have been lent down to entities that have the Polish Zloty or Russian Ruble as their functional currency. Also included is the proportional net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to the foreign currency liabilities included in the earnings of our equity method investments ( Russian Alcohol Group and the MHWH JV) as these entities have the Russian Ruble as their functional currency. The amount has been adjusted to reflect only the CEDC portion of foreign exchange gains or losses of the Russian Alcohol Group and does not include the portion attributable to the minority shareholders. The impact of foreign exchange revaluation is inherently unpredictable and we have not forecasted the impact thereof; changes in foreign exchange revaluation may have a material effect on our financial results.
C. As a result of the change in accounting treatment of the investment in the Russian Alcohol Group during the second quarter of 2009 from equity accounting to consolidation, CEDC was required to revalue the equity investment to market value at the time of conversion. This amount was then netted with an impairment charge for RAG goodwill.
D. The Company has recorded deferred payments to Lion in connection with the RAG acquisition on the balance sheet at fair value and amortizes this discount as a non cash amortization expense over the payment period and records its investment in RAG as if it owned Lion’s shares. This adjustment eliminates the non-cash amortization and increases the minority interest for the net profit attributable to the shares held by Lion Capital to reflect CEDC results as if it owned 52% of RAG without amortization of the deferred payments to Lion.
E. Represents other miscellaneous costs, directly related to acquisition costs related to the Parliament acquisition in 2008 and RAG in 2009.
F. In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, which impacts the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments that allow for either mandatory or optional cash settlements. FSP APB 14-1 will impact the accounting associated with our $310.0 million senior convertible notes. This FSP requires us to recognize additional non-cash interest expense on a retrospective basis, based on the market rate for similar
debt instruments without the conversion feature. Furthermore, it requires recognizing interest expense in prior periods pursuant to the retrospective accounting treatment. FSP APB 14-1 has become effective beginning in our first quarter of 2009 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all presented periods, as applicable.
G. On June 30, 2008, CEDC terminated operations of the German import business acquired as part of the Parliament acquisition and in July 2008, moved all German import operations to a 3rd party importer. The $1.433 million represents the net loss incurred by the discontinued operation for the 3 months ended June 30, 2008. For 2009 the amount represents one off tax charges related to a tax inspection for the period prior to the investment in 2008 as well as the purchase price true up paid in the 3rd quarter of 2009.
H. Comparable non-GAAP fully diluted EPS is calculated, as discussed in item A above, based on adjusted share counts of 52.7 million weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2009, and 60.6 million weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2010. Both adjusted share counts exclude the impact of 3.3 million shares to be issued to Lion Capital in 2009 and .0751 million shares to be issued to Lion Capital in 2010 in connection with CEDC’s acquisition of Lion Capital’s remaining equity interests in RAG. These shares had not been issued yet during the respective periods, and this treatment is consistent with the increase of minority impact referred to in item C above.
