Comment of the Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Miguel Ángel Peirano
"We closed the fourth quarter of 2024 with very solid financial results, as we had in the previous quarters of the year. Adjusted consolidated EBITDA reached CLP 182,178 million, a 14.5% year-over-year growth, driven by local currency adjusted EBITDA growth in Brazil (9.4%), Chile (5.2%) and Paraguay (1.8%), and by the translation effect. In Argentina, adjusted EBITDA in local currency decreased by 7.1%, reflecting a significant improvement over previous quarters, which makes us optimistic about 2025.
Sales volumes also showed a positive performance in the quarter, growing in all 4 operations. Consolidated sales volume reached 268.7 million unit cases, an 8.2% increase over the same period of the previous year, with Paraguay growing 12.0%, Chile 8.6%, Brazil 8.1% and Argentina 6.2%. Excluding sales to Coca-Cola Femsa as a result of flood damage to one of its Brazilian plants, consolidated volume reached 264.7 million unit cases, an increase of 6.6% over the previous year, with Brazil growing by 8.0%, Paraguay by 6.7% and Argentina by 0.9%.
Our company values both financial results and sustainability† achievements, which are fundamental pillars of our purpose. In 2024, we achieved significant milestones that demonstrate our commitment to the environment and social responsibility. In December we were ratified in the Dow Jones Chile Index for the ninth year in a row, as well as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index MILA Pacific Alliance for the eighth year in a row. These accolades highlight our dedication and perseverance, establishing us as the best-ranked Chilean company in our industry and one of the top five globally. We'd also like to point out that we made our commitment to establish a carbon emissions reduction target for 2030 public this year by signing a commitment letter with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and we're currently validating targets for all three scopes. During 2024, we completed two significant projects that reaffirmed our commitment to sustainability. We opened the ReCiclar plant in Chile in August, in collaboration with Coca-Cola Embonor, to produce recycled food-grade resin that will be incorporated into our bottles beginning in 2025, preventing thousands of tons of plastic from ending up in landfills. In November, we reopened our plant in Mendoza, Argentina, with a modern production line for returnable bottles. This initiative, with an investment of about USD 40 million, not only reaffirms our commitment to Argentina and its returnability, but also helps us reduce costs and our carbon footprint. Regarding soft drink returnability, we closed the year with 45.3% in Argentina, 40.0% in Paraguay, 39.8% in Chile, and 23.3% in Brazil, all of which were consistent with the previous year, placing us among the top bottlers in the system globally in terms of this indicator.

We also continued to optimize processes to reduce our water consumption, finishing the year with a ratio of 1.64 liters of water withdrawn for every liter of beverage produced, with the implementation of effluent water treatment and recovery projects in Chile and Brazil standing out.
Our work also focuses on clean and renewable energy. In June, we signed a seven-year agreement with Pampa Energía, an energy supplier, in Argentina to integrate wind energy into the operations of the Coca-Cola Andina plants in Córdoba, Trelew, Bahía Blanca and Andina Empaques. Consequently, at a consolidated level, over 44% of our total energy consumption in 2024 came from renewable sources.
We anticipate a capital expenditure of approximately USD 240 million by 2025. A significant portion of this amount will be used to support our customers by investing in returnable containers and cases and installing cold equipment at points of sale that need it. Also, in Brazil, we will invest in a new mineral water production line and complete the investment in a multi-category line in Duque de Caxias, which will enable us to produce beer among other products. In Paraguay, we will invest in a line for returnable glass bottles. It is important to mention that the Capex 2025 estimate is under constant evaluation and monitoring, and may vary depending on the macroeconomic conditions of the countries in which we operate, among other considerations."

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Figures in the following analysis are expressed in accordance with IFRS, in nominal Chilean pesos, both for consolidated results and for the results of each of our operations. All variations with respect to 2023 are nominal.
Since Argentina has been classified as a Hyperinflationary economy, pursuant to IAS 29, translation of figures from local to reporting currency was performed using the closing exchange rate for the translation to Chilean pesos. Local currency figures for both 2024 and 2023 referred to in the Argentina sections are expressed in December 2024 currency.
Finally, a devaluation of local currencies regarding the U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our dollarized costs and a devaluation of local currencies regarding the Chilean peso has a negative impact upon consolidating figures.
When we refer to "Argentina", it includes our subsidiaries Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. and Empaques Argentina S.A. When we refer to "Chile", it includes the operation in Chile of Embotelladora Andina S.A., as well as its subsidiaries VJ S.A., Vital Aguas S.A., Envases Central S.A. and Re-Ciclar S.A.

This was partially offset by (i) the effect of translating figures from our Brazilian subsidiary to the reporting currency, and (ii) a lower cost of sugar in Argentina and Brazil.

This was partially offset by (i) the effect of translating figures from our Brazilian subsidiary to the reporting currency, (ii) lower labor costs in Argentina, and (iii) lower marketing expenses in Argentina and Chile.
The aforementioned effects led to a consolidated Operating Income of CLP 142,984 million, an increase of 9.9%. Operating Margin was 15.0%.

Sales volume increased 12.9%, reaching 339.8 million unit cases, explained by the volume increase in the Soft Drinks, Waters and Juices and other non-alcoholic beverages categories, partially offset by the decrease in the Beer and other alcoholic beverages category. The Non-Alcoholic Beverages Segment represented 98.7% of total sales volume, and grew by 13.7%, which was explained by the growth of all the Segment's categories. The Alcoholic Beverages Segment represented 1.3% of total volume and decreased by 24.3%, which was explained by the decrease in the Beer category, partially offset by the increase in the Other Alcoholic Beverages category. Transactions amounted to 1,787.8 million, an increase of 8.9%.
Net Sales reached CLP 909,678 million, an increase of 22.0%. In local currency, Net Sales increased 17.9%, due to the aforementioned increase in volume and, to a lesser extent, to a higher average price as a result of the price increases we have implemented.

Cost of sales increased 17.7%, while in local currency it increased 13.8%, which is mainly explained by (i) the higher sales volume, (ii) the devaluation of the Brazilian real over our dollarized costs, and (iii) a higher cost of concentrate due to price increases. This was partially offset by the shift in the mix towards lower unit cost products.
Distribution and Administrative Expenses increased 20.6% in the reporting currency, and in local currency they increased 16.3%, which is mainly explained by (i) higher freight expenses, due to the higher volume sold, (ii) higher labor costs, (iii) higher marketing expenses, and (iv) lower other operating income that are classified under this item.
The aforementioned effects, as well as the effect of translating figures into the reporting currency, led to an Operating Income of CLP 155,053 million, an increase of 42.6%. Operating Margin was 17.0%. In local currency, Operating Income increased 38.3%.

NON-OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER
Net Financial Income and Expenses account recorded an expense of CLP 6,172 million, compared to an expense of CLP 8,247 million in the same quarter of the previous year, mainly due to higher net financial income from the restatement of PIS-COFINS loans in Brazil (CLP 8,155 million), which was partially offset by a lower cash level at the Corporate level and in Argentina.
Share of Profit or Loss from Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method went from a profit of CLP 2,721 million to a loss of CLP 862 million, which is mainly explained by lower results of subsidiaries in Chile.
Other Income and Expenses account recorded a profit of CLP 9,480 million, compared to a loss of CLP 1,282 million in the same quarter of the previous year, the difference being mainly explained by the extraordinary income generated this year as a result of the recognition of the PIS-COFINS loan in Brazil, in the amount of CLP 20,322 million.
Results by Adjustment Units and Exchange Rate Differences account went from a loss of CLP 10,665 million to a profit of CLP 4,359 million. This is mainly explained by lower losses in 2024 due to lower dollar liabilities in our subsidiary in Argentina.
Income Tax went from -CLP 30,255 million to -CLP 50,354 million, the variation is mainly explained by the higher operating income, as well as the tax associated with the recognition of PIS-COFINS credits in Brazil (CLP 10,149 million).

At the end of December 2024, with respect to the end of 2023, the Argentine peso and the Brazilian real depreciated against the Chilean peso by 12.4% and 12.6%, respectively, which generated a decrease in assets, liabilities and equity accounts, due to the effect of translation of figures to the reporting currency. On the other hand, the Paraguayan guarani appreciated against the Chilean peso by 5.3%, which generated an increase in the assets, liabilities and equity accounts, due to the effect of translation of figures to the reporting currency. Additionally, the figures for Argentina, in accordance with IAS 29, prior to the translation of figures, are adjusted for accumulated inflation as of the end of 2023, up to the closing currency of this report, increasing the figures in local currency by 117.7%.
Assets
Total assets increased by CLP 369,583 million, up 12.7% compared to December 2023.
Current assets increased by CLP 31,425 million, 3.2% over December 2023, which is mainly explained by the increase in Inventories (CLP 66,918 million) due to higher purchases of raw materials, spare parts and finished goods in our subsidiary in Argentina. In addition to the above increase, there was an increase in Trade and other current accounts receivable (CLP 33,939 million), mainly explained by higher trade accounts receivable balances in Argentina and higher trade accounts receivable in Chile and Paraguay. The aforementioned increases are partially offset by decreases in Cash and cash equivalents (-CLP 54,785 million) and Current tax assets (-CLP 25,637 million).
On the other hand, non-current assets increased by CLP 338,159 million, up 17.4% compared to December 2023, mainly due to the increase in Property, plant and equipment (CLP 225,385 million), which is explained by investments made (CLP 302,519 million), added to IAS 29 adjustments, which were partially offset by the Depreciation account and the negative effect of translation of figures. In addition to the above increase, there was an increase in Other non-current financial assets (CLP 76,104 million).
Liabilities and Equity
Total liabilities increased by CLP 276,172 million, up 13.8% compared to December 2023.
Current liabilities increased by CLP 213,273 million, by 30.8% compared to December 2023, mainly due to the increase in Other current non-financial liabilities (CLP 99,730 million), mainly explained by the recognition of a higher interim dividend. In addition to the above increase, there was an increase in Other current financial liabilities (CLP 57,333 million) due to the increase in bank obligations in Argentina and in Chile for Re-Ciclar S.A. and ECSA, and an increase in Trade and other current accounts payable (CLP 28,163 million), mainly in Brazil.
On the other hand, non-current liabilities increased by CLP 62,899 million, 4.8% compared to December 2023, mainly due to the increase in Deferred tax liabilities (CLP 44,498 million), due to the increase in the deferred liability for ICMS credit in Brazil, due to the exchange difference on debt in Brazil, added to the increase for fixed assets in Chile and Argentina. In addition, there was an increase in Other non-current financial liabilities (CLP 22,217 million), mainly due to the variation in UF and the exchange rate effect on certain of the company's bonds.
Equity increased by CLP 93,412 million, 10.1% compared to December 2023, explained by the increase in Accumulated earnings from profits obtained in the period (CLP 232,663 million), the restatement of equity balances in our subsidiary in Argentina in accordance with IAS 29 (CLP 155,142 million) and the distribution of dividends (-CLP 265,371 million). The increase in Accumulated earnings was partially offset by the decrease in Other reserves (-CLP 32,316 million) due to the negative effect of translation of figures of subsidiaries.

Activity
At the closing of December 2024, investments amounted to CLP 302,519 million, which corresponds to an increase of 35.9% compared to the same period of 2023, mainly explained by higher productive investments (such as the brewery in Brazil).

MARKET RISK ANALYSIS
The Company’s risk management is the responsibility of the office of the Chief Executive Officer, (through the areas of Corporate Management Control, Sustainability and Risks, which depends on the office of the Chief Financial Officer), as well as each of the management areas of Coca-Cola Andina. The main risks that the Company has identified and that could possibly affect the business are as follows:
Relationship with The Coca-Cola Company
A large part of the Company’s sales derives from the sale of products whose trademarks are owned by The Coca-Cola Company, which has the ability to exert an important influence on the business through its rights under the Licensing or Bottling Agreements. In addition, we depend on The Coca-Cola Company to renew these Bottling Agreements.
Non-alcoholic beverage business environment
Consumers, public health officials, and government officials in our markets are increasingly concerned about the public health consequences associated with obesity, which can affect demand for our products, especially those containing sugar.
The Company has developed a large portfolio of sugar-free products and has also made reformulations to some of its sugary products, significantly reducing sugar contents of its products.

| -14- | |
Raw material prices and exchange rate
Many raw materials are used in the production of beverages and packaging, including sugar and PET resin, the prices of which may present great volatility. In the case of sugar, the Company sets the price of a part of the volume that it consumes with some anticipation, in order to avoid having large fluctuations of cost that cannot be anticipated.
In addition, these raw materials are traded in dollars; the Company has a policy of hedging in the futures market a portion of the dollars it uses to buy raw materials.
Instability in the supply of utilities and raw materials
In the countries in which we operate, our operations depend on a stable supply of utilities, fuel and raw materials. Power outages or water shut offs as well as the lack of raw materials may result in interruptions of our production. The Company has mitigation plans to reduce the effects of eventual interruptions in the supply of utilities and raw materials.
Economic conditions of the countries where we operate
The Company maintains operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. The demand for our products largely depends on the economic situation of these countries. Moreover, economic instability can cause depreciation of the currencies of these countries, as well as inflation, which may eventually affect the Company’s financial situation.
New tax laws or modifications to tax incentives
We cannot ensure that any government authority in any of the countries in which we operate will not impose new taxes or increase existing taxes on our raw materials, products or containers. Likewise, we cannot assure that these authorities are going to uphold and/or renew tax incentives that currently benefit some of our operations.
A devaluation of the currencies of the countries where we have our operations, regarding the Chilean peso, can negatively affect the results reported by the Company in Chilean pesos
The Company reports its results in Chilean pesos, while a large part of its revenues and Adjusted EBITDA comes from countries that use other currencies. Should currencies devaluate regarding the Chilean peso, this would have a negative effect on the results of the Company, upon the translation of results into Chilean pesos.
The imposition of exchange controls could restrict the entry and exit of funds to and from the countries in which we operate, which could significantly limit our financial capacity
The imposition of exchange controls in the countries in which we operate could affect our ability to repatriate profits, which could significantly limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. Additionally, it may limit the ability of our foreign subsidiaries to finance payments of U.S. dollar denominated liabilities required by foreign creditors.
Civil unrest in Chile could have a material adverse effect on general economic conditions in Chile and our business and financial condition
We cannot predict whether the Chilean economy will be significantly impacted by any protests or demonstrations, which have been violent on occasion in the past, or whether the public policies that the government implements in response to these demonstrations will have a negative impact on the economy and our business. Neither can we assure that demonstrations and vandalism will not cause damage to our logistics and production infrastructure. So far, the Company has not been affected in any material respect.
Our business is subject to risks from pandemics such as COVID-19.
Pandemics pose the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers and other partners may be limited or prevented from conducting business for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be requested or ordered by governmental authorities. In addition, we may experience disruptions in the supply of raw materials.
Pandemics and related governmental actions could adversely affect our business and results of operations, potentially in a material way.
A more detailed analysis of business risks is available in the Company’s 20-F and Annual Report, available on our website.

Adjusted EBITDA: includes Revenue, Costs of Sales, Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses, included in the Financial Statements submitted to Chile’s Financial Market Commission and determined in accordance with IFRS, plus Depreciation.
Currency-neutral of a quarter q for a Q year is calculated using the same ratio of local currencies to the Chilean peso as the q quarter of the Q-1 year. In the case of Argentina, given that it is a hyperinflationary economy, the result of the q quarter is also deflated by inflation of the last 12 months.
Financial Expenses: correspond to interest generated by the Company’s financial debt.
Financial Income: corresponds to the interest generated by the Company's cash.
Net Financial Debt: considers the consolidated financial liability that accrues interest, i.e.: (i) other current financial liabilities, plus (ii) other non-current financial liabilities, less (iii) the sum of cash and cash equivalent; plus other current financial assets; plus other non-current financial assets (to the extent that they correspond to the balances of assets for derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risk and/or interest rate of financial liabilities).
Operating Income: includes Revenue, Costs of Sales, Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses, included in the Financial Statements submitted to Chile Financial Market Commission and determined in accordance with IFRS.
Total Equity: corresponds to the equity attributable to the owners of the controller plus non-controlling interests.
Transactions: refers to the number of units sold, regardless of size.
Volume: expressed in Unit Cases (UCs), which is the conventional measurement used to measure sales volume in the Coca-Cola System worldwide.

ABOUT COCA-COLA ANDINA
Coca-Cola Andina is among the three largest Coca-Cola bottlers in Latin America, servicing franchised territories with almost 57.8 million people, delivering 909.0 million unit cases or 5,161 million liters of soft drinks, juices, bottled water, beer and other alcoholic beverages during 2024. Coca-Cola Andina has the franchise to produce and commercialize Coca-Cola products in certain territories in Argentina (through Embotelladora del Atlántico), in Brazil (through Rio de Janeiro Refrescos), in Chile, (through Embotelladora Andina) and in all of Paraguay (through Paraguay Refrescos). The Chadwick Claro, Garcés Silva, Said Handal and Said Somavía families control Coca-Cola Andina in equal parts. The Company's value generation proposal is to become a Total Beverage Company, using existing resources efficiently and sustainably, developing a relationship of excellence with consumers of its products, as well as with its collaborators, customers, suppliers, the community in which it operates and with its strategic partner The Coca-Cola Company, in order to increase ROIC for shareholders in the long term. For more company information visit www.koandina.com.
This document may contain projections reflecting Coca-Cola Andina’s good faith expectation and are based on currently available information. However, the results that are finally obtained are subject to diverse variables, many of which are beyond the Company's control, and which could materially impact the current performance. Among the factors that could change the performance are the political and economic conditions on mass consumption, pricing pressures resulting from competitive discounts of other bottlers, weather conditions in the Southern Cone and other risk factors that would be applicable from time to time, and which are periodically informed in reports filed before the appropriate regulatory authorities, and which are available on our website.
