PRESS RELEASE |  |
| COMMENTS FROM THE CEO |
During the first quarter 2021, we continued implementing a regional plan with three priorities during the Covid-19 pandemic: the safety of our people and the community we interact with, operation continuity and financial health. This plan allowed us to operate and supply our products to our clients and consumers in a still very challenging scenario, where restrictions continue to be implemented across the region to control new outbreaks of the virus. Within this context, as we have been mentioning since the beginning of the pandemic and stating in every quarter, we have put a special focus to maintain/grow business scale (market shares and volumes), with the purpose of gradually recover profitability over time, by implementing revenue management initiatives and efficiencies; this strategy started to yield results in 4Q20, and showed a better result in this quarter, where in addition to continue growing our business scale in all our Operating segments, we delivered an improvement in our profitability.
In terms of our performance, in the first quarter of 2021, CCU’s consolidated volumes grew 4.8% (compared with a 1Q20 that recorded a growth of 6.4% versus 1Q19), with an expansion in all our Operating segments. The positive volume growth was mainly explained by a solid commercial execution and the strength of our portfolio of brands. Regarding financial results, EBITDA was up 39.5% to CLP 126,547 million, and EBITDA margin improved 447 bps, from 17.7% to 22.2%. The better financial result was mainly driven by: (i) the expansion in consolidated volumes, as mentioned above, (ii) the implementation of revenue management initiatives and positive mix effects, (iii) efficiency gains from the ExCCelencia CCU program, with MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales decreasing from 38.2% to 34.1%, and (iv) positive external effects from the 9.8%[3] appreciation of the CLP against the USD, affecting favorably our USD-denominated costs, partially compensated by currency translation effects, wine export revenues in foreign currencies, and higher cost in raw materials. As result of the above, Net income recorded a 99.7% hike, reaching CLP 64,384 million.
In the Chile Operating segment, our top line expanded 15.2%, due to 4.2% growth in volumes, revenue management initiatives and positive mix effects, mainly based on a strong performance of premium brands in beer. Volume growth was driven by all main categories. Gross profit grew 16.3%, and Gross margin rose 50 bps, from 52.2% to 52.7%, mainly as a result of the top line expansion, mentioned above, a positive external effect from the appreciation of the CLP against the USD, affecting favorably our USD-denominated costs, and efficiencies in manufacturing. This was partially offset by higher cost in raw materials. MSD&A expenses as percentage of Net sales improved 497 bps, in line with cost control initiatives through the ExCCelencia CCU program. In all, EBITDA reached CLP 103,946 million, a 40.8% increase, and EBITDA margin improved 480 bps, from 21.6% to 26.4%.
The International Business Operating segment, which includes Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, posted a 0.1% rise in revenues, due to an increase of 5.1% in volumes, offset by 4.8% lower average prices in CLP. Volume growth was mostly driven by Argentina. Lower average prices in CLP, were explained by negative currency translation effects in Argentina, from the sharp depreciation of 65.0%[4] of the ARS against the CLP, as we executed revenue management initiatives to compensate local inflation. The latter in Argentina allowed us to compensate higher USD-denominated costs from the depreciation of the ARS against the USD, and higher cost in raw materials. In addition to this, we had positive mix effects in the portfolio, that allowed us a Gross profit expansion of 9.6% and an improvement of 427 bps in Gross margin, from 45.0% to 49.3%. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales improved by 209 bps due to efficiencies from the ExCCelencia CCU program. Altogether, EBITDA reached CLP 16,706 million, an expansion of 68.5% and EBITDA margin increased from 8.0% to 13.4%.
The Wine Operating segment reported a 13.9% rise in revenue, due to a 16.7% expansion in volumes, as average prices contracted 2.4% during the quarter. The volume expansion was driven by both the domestic markets and exports, all posting double-digit growth, with market share gains in the domestic markets of Chile and Argentina. The lower prices in CLP were mainly a consequence of the appreciation of the CLP against the USD and its negative impact on export revenues, and a negative mix effect. Gross profit was up 4.0% and Gross margin decreased 380 bps, mostly reflecting a lower average price and a higher cost of wine. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales improved by 344 bps, thanks to efficiencies. In all, EBITDA reached CLP 10,180 million, a 5.6% increase, while EBITDA margin decreased from 19.5% to 18.0%.
In Colombia, where we have a joint venture with Postobón, we continued in a positive trend in volumes and financial results. In terms of volumes, we grew over 30% during the quarter. In terms of results, we have posted positive EBITDA for a second quarter in a row, based on a higher business scale, the development of our beer portfolio, and efficiencies. We will focus on continuing on this positive path, by developing a strategy that involves new consumer experiences, quality and innovation.
Summarizing, during the 1Q21, in a still challenging scenario due to the pandemic, CCU continued developing a regional plan with three priorities, the safety of the people, operation continuity and financial health. At the same time, the strategy implemented in this context gave positive results during the quarter, where we delivered volume growth in all the Operating segments and a recovery in our financial results, the latter with an improvement in our profitability. In 2021, we will continue to face a challenging and uncertain scenario due to new outbreaks of Covid-19 in the region. In this context, we will keep executing with discipline the strategy that we have been carrying out, in order to continue delivering profitable and sustainable growth.

PRESS RELEASE | |
| CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS – FIRST QUARTER (Exhibit 1 & 2) |
| · | Net sales were up 11.4%, explained by 4.8% increase in consolidated volumes (compared with a 1Q20 that recorded a growth of 6.4% versus 1Q19), along with positive mix effects and revenue management initiatives. The higher average prices in CLP were explained by the Chile Operating segment, due to the implementation of revenue management initiatives and a positive mix effect, mainly based on a strong performance of premium brands in beer, partially offset by: (i) a contraction in the International Business Operating segment, explained by negative currency translation effects in Argentina from the sharp depreciation of 65.0%4 of the ARS against the CLP, as we executed revenue management initiatives to compensate local inflation, and (ii) a contraction in the Wine Operating segment, mainly as a consequence of the appreciation of the CLP against the USD and its negative impact on export revenues, and a negative mix effect. The higher volume was driven by a 4.2% rise in the Chile Operating segment, 5.1% increase in the International Business Operating segment, and 16.7% jump in the Wine Operating segment, mainly explained by a solid commercial execution and the strength of our portfolio of brands. |
| · | Cost of sales was up 8.9%, explained by 4.8% higher volumes and a 3.9% increase in Cost of sales per hectoliter. The Chile Operating segment reported a 9.4% growth in Cost of sales per hectoliter, driven by mix effects and higher costs in raw materials, partially compensated by the appreciation of the CLP against the USD, affecting favorably our USD-denominated costs. In the International Business Operating segment, the Cost of sales per hectoliter decreased 12.2% in CLP, mostly explained by currency translation effects in Argentina, as in local currency Cost of sales per hectoliter was up, as a result of higher USD-linked costs, largely due to the 42.7%4 devaluation of the ARS against the USD, mix effects, and a higher cost in raw materials. In the Wine Operating segment, the Cost of sales per hectoliter grew 4.2%, mostly reflecting a higher cost of wine. |
| · | Gross profit reached CLP 289,369 million, a 14.0% expansion. Gross margin grew 115 bps, from 49.6% to 50.8%, as a consequence of the effects described above. |

In the International Business Operating segment MSD&A expenses in CLP were down 4.4%, and as a percentage of Net sales decreased 209 bps. In the Wine Operating segment, MSD&A expenses were up 1.2%, and as a percentage of Net sales improved 344 bps. |

| · | Non-operating result totalized a loss of CLP 6,772 million, an expansion of 9.5% when compared to a loss of CLP 6,184 million last year, due to: (i) a lower result in other gains/(losses) by CLP 8,429 million, mostly explained by a lower result on forward contracts entered into to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our foreign currency denominated assets, caused by a sharp appreciation of the USD against the CLP in 1Q20, (ii) a lower loss of CLP 2,502 million in Foreign currency exchange differences, mainly in Argentina, (iii) a better result of CLP 2,267 million in Results as per adjustment units, explained by Argentina, and a lower net UF-linked liabilities (cross-currency swaps), (iv) a lower loss in Equity and income of JVs and associated by CLP 2,229 million, due to a better financial results in Colombia, and (v) a lower loss in Net financial expenses by CLP 842 million, due to higher Cash and cash equivalents. |
| · | Income taxes reached CLP 23,532 million, a 15.7% increase, mostly explained by a higher taxable income, partially compensated by lower taxes resulting from our foreign currency denominated assets, as a consequence of a high comparison base in 2020, as a result of a sharp appreciation of the USD against the CLP in 1Q20. |
| · | Net income reached a gain of CLP 64,384 million, an increase of 99.7%, explained by the reasons described above. |

The International Business Operating segment, which includes Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, posted a 0.1% rise in revenues, due to an increase of 5.1% in volumes, offset by 4.8% lower average prices in CLP. Volume growth was mostly driven by Argentina. Lower average prices in CLP, were explained by negative currency translation effects in Argentina, from the sharp depreciation of 65.0% of the ARS against the CLP, as we executed revenue management initiatives to compensate local inflation. The latter in Argentina allowed us to compensate higher USD-denominated costs from the depreciation of the ARS against the USD, and higher cost in raw materials.

INTERNATIONAL WINE OPERATING SEGMENT

The volume expansion was driven by both the domestic markets and exports, all posting double-digit growth, with market share gains in the domestic markets of Chile and Argentina. The lower prices in CLP were mainly a consequence of the appreciation of the CLP against the USD and its negative impact on export revenues, and a negative mix effect. Gross profit was up 4.0% and Gross margin decreased 380 bps, mostly reflecting a lower average price and a higher cost of wine. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales improved by 344 bps, thanks to efficiencies. In all, EBITDA reached CLP 10,180 million, a 5.6% increase, while EBITDA margin decreased from 19.5% to 18.0%.
During the quarter, VSPT changed its corporate image, incorporating tones that evoke land and wine, in a modern design. Its main isotype represents the guardian of Andean culture, the Condor, a majestic bird that connects Chile and Argentina, where VSPT’s wines are produced.
