Risk Factors
 
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if any of the risks described below occur. As a result, the market price of our common shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. This annual report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” The risks below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect us. The following risk factors have been grouped as follows:
 
·
Risks relating to Chile;
·
Risks relating to Argentina
·
Risks relating to our Business
·
Risks relating to our ADSs
 
RISKS RELATING TO CHILE
 
We are substantially dependent on economic, political and social conditions in Chile, which may adversely impact the results of our operations and financial condition
.
 
Chile is our most significant market. The Chile Operating segment generated
63.5
% of our sales revenues in 2021, the International Business Operating segment (which includes Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay) contributed
27.3
%, and the Wine Operating segment,
including the domestic markets in Chile and Argentina, as well as exports, accounted for
10.5
% of revenues. Thus, our operating and financial performance is dependent, to a large extent, on the overall level of economic activity in Chile. The Chilean economy experienced an average annual growth rate (measured by GDP) of
3.3
% between 2010 and 2021. In the past, slower economic growth in Chile resulted in a lower growth rate of consumption of our products and, consequently, adversely affected our profitability. Chile’s economic growth rate has been affected in the past by the disruption in the global financial markets by global recessions or a pandemic, as was the case in 2009 and 2020. Therefore, economic growth rates of past periods cannot be extrapolated to future performance.
 
Although Chilean inflation has been limited in the last ten years, Chile has experienced high levels of inflation in the past and in 2021, inflation rose over 7.0% on an annual basis. The rates of inflation in Chile in 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were 7.2%, 3.0%, 3.0% and 2.6%, respectively, as measured by changes in the consumer price index and as reported by the
Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas
(INE). High levels of inflation and currency devaluation in Chile could adversely affect the Chilean economy and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. We cannot assure you that Chilean inflation will not revert to prior levels in the future.
 
The measures taken in the past by the Central Bank of Chile to control inflation have included tight monetary policy with high interest rates, which restricts credit availability and economic growth. Periods of higher inflation may also slow the growth rate of the Chilean economy. Inflation is also likely to increase some of our costs and expenses, given that our supply contracts may be denominated in foreign currencies or indexed to the Chilean consumer price index. This could adversely affect our operating margins and operating income.
 
Furthermore, Chile, as an emerging and open economy, is more exposed to unfavorable conditions in the international markets, which could have a negative impact on the demand for our products, as well as on third parties with whom we conduct business. Furthermore, the beginning of a massive social movement during the fourth quarter of 2019 triggered material political and economic changes, such as the development of a new constitution and increased pressure or demand on public spending. These measures have increased uncertainty levels in Chile, which could affect economic growth through a deterioration of business and consumer confidence. This could adversely affect our operating margins and operating income.
 
Any combination of lower consumer confidence, disrupted global capital markets and/or depressed international economic conditions could have a negative impact on the Chilean economy and, consequently, on our business. In addition, a global liquidity crisis or an increase in interest rates could limit our ability to obtain the cash necessary to meet our commitments and, therefore, increase our financial expenses.
 
6
 
Variations in the global and local financial markets in recent periods have also resulted in volatility in the credit, equity and fixed income markets. This volatility has limited companies’ access to funding from time to time. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in major disruptions in the global and local financial markets. As stated by the Central Bank of Chile in its November 2021 Financial Stability Report, stimulus measures together with the successive withdrawals of pension funds by members of the public, have provided additional liquidity, but they have also strongly impacted capital markets as a result of the forced liquidation of assets. Both the exchange rate and local interest rate have experience strong corrections compared to other economies, together with increases on the volatility of the prices of several assets.
 
Any downgrading of Chile’s debt credit rating for domestic and international debt by international credit rating agencies may increase our financial costs or limit our access to capital markets.
 
Any future adverse revisions to Chile’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely affect our ratings, our business, future financial performance, stockholders’ equity and the value of our securities. In addition, credit ratings affect the cost and other terms upon which we are able to obtain funding. Rating agencies regularly evaluate us and their ratings of our debt are based on a number of factors, including our financial strength and conditions affecting the financial services industry generally. There can be no assurance that the rating agencies will maintain the current ratings or outlooks, and any downgrading in our debt credit ratings would likely limit our access to capital markets and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that the rating agencies will maintain the current ratings or outlooks, and any downgrading in our debt credit ratings may increase our financial costs or limit our access to capital markets.
 
Currency fluctuations may affect our profitability
 
Because we purchase the majority of our supplies at prices set in USD and we export wine in prices set in USD, Canadian dollars, euros and pounds, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks that may adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our operations. The effect of the exchange rate variation on export revenues partially offsets the FX impact on the cost of raw materials expressed in CLP.
 
The relative liquidity and volatility of Chilean securities markets may increase the price volatility of our American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and adversely impact a holder’s ability to sell any shares of our common stock withdrawn from our American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) facility.
 
The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. For example, the Santiago Stock Exchange, which is Chile’s principal stock exchange, had a market capitalization of approximately USD 152.5 billion as of December 31, 2021, while the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) had a market capitalization of approximately USD 32.7 trillion and the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) had a market capitalization of approximately USD 23.2 trillion as of the same date. In addition, the Chilean securities markets can be materially affected by developments in other emerging markets, particularly other countries in Latin America.
 
The lower liquidity and greater volatility of the Chilean markets relative to markets in the United States could increase the price volatility of the ADSs and may impair a holder’s ability to sell shares of our common stock withdrawn from the ADR facility in the Chilean market in the amount, at the price and at the time the holder wishes to do so. See “Item 9: The Offer and Listing”.
 
We are subject to different corporate disclosure requirements and accounting standards than U.S. companies.
 
Although the securities laws of Chile that govern open stock corporations and publicly listed companies such as us promote disclosure of all material corporate information to the public as a principal objective, Chilean disclosure requirements differ from those in the United States in certain important respects. In addition, although Chilean law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, the Chilean securities market is not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities market. We have been subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act since our initial public offering of ADSs in September 1992.

RISKS RELATING TO ARGENTINA
 
We are substantially dependent on economic, political and social conditions in Argentina, which may adversely impact our operating results and financial position.
 
In addition to our Chilean operations, we have significant assets in Argentina and we generate significant income from our operations in this country.
 
The financial position and results of our operations in Argentina are, to a considerable extent, dependent upon political, social and economic conditions in Argentina, as demand for beverage products generally depends on the prevailing economic conditions in the local market. In the past, Argentina has suffered recessions, high levels of inflation, currency devaluations and significant economic decelerations in various periods of its history. During 2016, Argentina's GDP contracted by 2.1% and inflation was close to 40%. In 2017, GDP growth was 2.8% and inflation close to 25%, showing a slight recovery in the economy. In 2018, Argentina once again entered into a recession and its GDP decreased by 2.6% and accumulated inflation reached 47.6%. Consequently, given that between 2016 and 2018 (three years) the cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, Argentina was deemed to be a hyperinflationary economy as of July 1, 2018 (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included herein) pursuant to IAS 29. In 2019, the Argentine GDP contracted by 2.2% and inflation reached 53.8%. In 2020, the GDP contracted 9.9%, mainly due to the restriction measures taken to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, while inflation reached 36.1%. In 2021, the GDP expanded around 9%, and inflation reached 50.9%. Accordingly, given that inflation between 2018 and 2021 exceeded 100%, Argentina is still considered a hyperinflationary economy.  
 
Moreover, Argentina is currently undergoing a sovereign debt restructuring process with the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), the outcome of which is uncertain. In March 2022, the IMF Executive Board approved a new 30-month arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility for an amount of USD 44 billion. The Executive Board’s decision allowed authorities an immediate disbursement of approximately USD 9,7 billion. According to the IMF, Argentina’s IMF-supported program sets pragmatic and realistic objectives, along with credible policies to strengthen macroeconomic stability and begin to tackle Argentina’s deep-seated challenges. The program seeks to improve public finances and start to reduce persistent high inflation through a multi-pronged strategy, involving a gradual elimination of monetary financing of the fiscal deficit and enhancements in the monetary policy framework. Risks to the program are exceptionally high and spillovers from the war in Ukraine are already materializing. In this context, early program recalibration, including the identification and adoption of appropriate measures, as needed, will be critical to achieve the program’s objectives. Thus, our business and results of operations in Argentina could be adversely affected by volatile economic conditions in Argentina or by the Argentine government’s policy response to such conditions.
 
If economic conditions in Argentina were to slow down or further contract, or if inflation continue to accelerate, or if the Argentine government’s ability to access the long-term financial markets to finance increased spending is limited given the high levels of public sector indebtedness, Argentina’s economic growth and the financial health and results of our Argentine operations could be adversely affected.
 
Inflationary pressures in Argentina may negatively impact demand for our goods, profitability and future investments.
 
Argentina has faced and continues to face inflationary pressures. Increased inflationary risk may erode macroeconomic growth and limit the availability of financing, which may negatively impact our operations. In past periods of high inflation, the Argentine government had regulated prices of consumer goods, including beverages, which impacted our profitability. Even without government regulation, high inflation may impede our ability to pass on higher costs to customers, which would also negatively impact profitability.
 
8
The Argentine peso is subject to volatility which could adversely affect our results.
 
A depreciation of the Argentine peso may negatively affect our consolidated financial results. Our Argentine subsidiaries use the Argentine peso as their functional currency and their financial statements are translated to CLP for consolidation purposes, which may produce variations to the Company’s consolidated net income and shareholders’ equity, due to translation effects. Also, most of our raw material costs in Argentina are indexed to the dollar. In 2021, the Argentine peso depreciated 34.8% against the USD on average, and 22.1% as of the end of 2021 (end-of-period). This resulted in a translation effect in our reported revenues, costs and expenses, as well as pressure on dollarized costs.
 
Given that we cannot predict how macroeconomic conditions will evolve in the future in Argentina, nor when Argentina will cease to qualify as a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes, we cannot foresee how CCU’s business will be affected by Argentina’s future macroeconomic environment.
 
Argentina’s legal regime and economy are susceptible to changes that could adversely affect our Argentine operations.
 
The Argentine government has taken measures to address the country’s economic crises, and most recently, to address the COVID-19 pandemic, which have severely affected the stability of Argentina's financial system and the free pricing of goods.
 
On September 1, 2019, the Argentine Central Bank issued Communication “A” 6,770, which established various exchange controls for exports and imports of goods and services, holding of foreign assets, non-resident operations, foreign financial debt, debts between Argentine residents, repatriation of profits and payment of dividends, among others. The Communication was issued in response to the publication of Decree N° 609/2019, pursuant to which the Argentine government implemented foreign exchange regulations originally until December 31, 2019, but was subsequently extended for an indefinite period. Decree N° 609/2019 sets forth the obligation to convert the value of goods and services exported into Argentine pesos in the local financial system, in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Argentine Central Bank. All of these measures have negatively impacted the free import of goods and in practice restricted our ability to repatriate profits.
 
In 2020 and 2021, in an attempt to curb increasing inflation, the Argentine government applied various methods to directly and indirectly regulate price increases of various consumer goods, including beer. As of the date of this report, we are party to agreements with the Argentine government that require us to sell our products at a previously agreed-upon price. We cannot assure that these measures will change nor the extent to which they will impact our business and results of operations.
 
As of the date of this report, there are several restrictions on the pricing of our products, the transfer of currency and repatriation of capital that could affect our subsidiaries’ ability to make payments and could in turn adversely affect our business and results of operations
 
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
 
Possible changes in tax laws in the countries where we operate could affect our business and, in particular, changes in corporate and excise taxes could adversely affect our results and investments.
 
Our businesses are subject to different taxes in the countries where we operate, including, among others, income taxes and specific taxes on alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. An increase in the rates or application of these taxes, or any other, could negatively affect our sales and profitability.
 
In February 2020, the Chilean Congress enacted Law N° 21,210, which amended the tax system and aimed at raising taxes to finance social programs (the “2020 Tax Reform”). The 2020 Tax Reform, includes, among other measures: (i) an increase from 35% to 40% in the personal income tax bracket for taxpayers with a gross monthly income in excess of approximately CLP 15.0 million; (ii) a progressive tax ranging from 0.075% to 0.275% on real estate properties owned by a taxpayer with a total taxable value exceeding approximately CLP 400 million; (iii) stricter requirements for private investment funds to benefit from preferential tax treatment; (iv) the creation of a new special tax regime for small- and medium-sized enterprises, with a 25% tax rate; (v) a partially integrated regime as a single tax system for large companies, with a 27% tax rate that will be partially deductible from the final tax to be paid by the owners of the taxpayer entity, who will have a maximum tax burden of 44.5% with the exception of certain qualified Treaty-country resident shareholders (including Tax Treaties signed but not yet enforced within a certain period of time); (vi) the progressive discontinuation of the provision allowing Chilean holding companies that incur tax losses to claim a refund of the corporate income tax paid - 21 - by their Chilean affiliates on dividends received by such holding company, to be fully enforced by year 2024; (vii) a more restrictive treatment for capital gains taxation derived from publicly traded shares; and (viii) a special tax contribution of 1% on investments in fixed assets in excess of U.S.$10 million (for the part of the excess) for the benefit of regions hosting projects that exceed U.S.$10 million when a given project requires submission to the environmental approval system. In December 2021, the Chilean Government sent to Congress a bill that intends to eliminate certain tax exemptions, which especially includes; (i) capital gain taxes on publicly traded shares (to be taxed at a 10% rate) and; (ii) Value Added Tax (VAT) for all type of services.

In 2017, Argentine
Congress passed a tax reform law that, among other measures, aimed to gradually reduce the income tax rate for profits from 35% to 25% (30% for 2018 and 2019 and 25% from 2020 and onwards), starting in 2018. In addition, withholding tax on distributed dividends are subject to a gradual increase from 0% to 13% (7% for 2018 and 2019 and 13% from 2020 and onwards). In December 2019, a new law was passed which modified certain provisions of the 2017 tax reform law. Among other matters, it extended the 30% income tax rate and the 7% withholding rate on dividends for an additional year, through 2020. In addition, regarding the Personal Property Tax, which applies to foreign shareholders who hold equity participations in Argentine companies, the 2019 reform increased the applicable rate from 0.25% to 0.50% in respect of the equity participation set forth in the Financial Statements. In June 2021, Law N° 21,630 was enacted, which establishes a new structure for income tax on profits, beginning after January 1, 2021, with three sections in relation to the level of accumulated net taxable income. The new sections are: (i) 25% for accumulated taxable net profits of up to ARS 5 million; (ii) 30% for earnings of up to ARS 50 million; and (iii) 35% for profits greater than ARS 50 million. Likewise, for the second and third sections indicated above, fixed tax amounts of ARS 1.25 million and ARS 14.75 million, respectively, were established, which will be adjusted annually with inflation.
 
Changes in the labor market in the countries in which we operate may affect profit margins in our business.
 
In all the countries where we operate, we are exposed to changes in the labor market that could affect our profitability and future growth. These changes could include fluctuations in the labor supply, as well as changes in labor legislation, among others.
In Argentina, high levels of inflation, union pressure, government decrees regarding severance payments, wages or reduction of working hours may affect our salary expenses.
 
In Chile, the Congress is currently discussing a bill which aims to modify the manner in which the legal profit sharing bonuses (
gratificaciones legales
) are calculated. As of the date of this report, this bill is in the Labor and Social Welfare Committee in the Senate, where it is subject to further modifications.
 
In addition to the above, in Chile, the congress is discussing a bill on the reduction of working hours, which is now in its second constitutional process in the Senate.
 
The foregoing, as well as the implementation of new labor regulations, could have an adverse effect on our expenses and negatively affect our margins.
 
Fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials may adversely impact our profitability.
 
We purchase malt, rice and hops for beer, sugar for soft drinks, grapes for wine, pisco and cocktails, and packaging materials, such as aluminum cans, glass bottles and PET resins to produce plastic bottles from local producers or in the international market. The prices of these materials are subject to volatility caused by market conditions, and have experienced significant fluctuations over time reflecting global supply and demand for commodities as well as other factors, such as fluctuations in exchange rates, climate and social events, geopolitical conflicts, like the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, and supply restrictions derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, over which we have no control.
 
10
 
Although we historically have been able to implement price increases in response to increases in raw material costs, we cannot assure you that our ability to recover increases in the cost of raw materials will continue in the future. If we are unable to raise prices in response to higher raw material costs, any future increases in raw material costs may reduce our margins and profitability if we are not able to offset such cost increases through efficiency improvements or other measures.
 
Consolidation in the beer industry may impact our market share.
 
In all the countries where we operate, we compete with Anheuser-Busch InBev S.A./N.V. (“ABI”) and its subsidiaries, the largest beer company in the world. ABI has expanded globally in recent years, through a series of mergers and acquisitions, and today has more than 500 brands and operations in 50 countries.
 
The foregoing consolidation in the market, as well as any further consolidation of our competitors, may increase their pricing and/or investment competitiveness, which could negatively affect our market share, and accordingly, our results.
 
Competition in the Chilean beer market may erode our market share and lower our profitability.
 
Our largest competitor in the Chilean beer market by volume is Cervecería Chile S.A. (“Cervecería Chile”), a subsidiary of ABI. In the past, Cervecería Chile has implemented aggressive commercial practices, and during the last years, has made several investments to expand its production capacity in Chile. Additionally, in August 2020, Cervecería Chile signed a distribution agreement with Embotelladora Andina S.A. and Coca-Cola Embonor S.A., the main bottlers of The Coca-Cola Company's products in Chile, to expand its distribution network. This is a five-year renewable agreement which became effective on November 1, 2020. If Cervecería Chile continues its aggressive commercial practices in the future, completes its expansion plans, and achieves a stronger distribution network, we cannot assure you that this or other competitive activities will not have a material adverse effect on our profitability or market share.
 
Quilmes dominates the beer market in Argentina and we may not be able to maintain our current market share.
           
Our main competitor in Argentina is Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes S.A.I.C.A. y G. (“Quilmes”), a subsidiary of ABI. As a result of its dominant position and large size in Argentina, Quilmes has significantly larger economies of scale than us both in production and distribution.
           
We depend upon the renewal of certain license agreements to maintain our current operations.
 
Most of our license agreements include certain conditions that must be met during their term, as well as provisions for their renewal at their expiry date. We cannot guarantee that such conditions will be fulfilled, and therefore that the agreements will remain in place until their expiration or that they will be renewed, or that any of these contracts will not undergo early termination. While approximately 70% of our sales volume are derived from private label products, the termination of, or failure to renew our existing license agreements, could have an adverse impact on our operations.
 
Consolidation in the supermarket industry may affect our operations.
 
The Chilean supermarket industry has gone through a consolidation process, which has increased the purchasing power of a few supermarket chains. As a result, we may not be able to negotiate favorable prices, which could negatively affect our sales and profitability.
 
Additionally, and despite having insurance coverage, this supermarket chain consolidation has the effect of increasing our exposure to counterparty credit risk, given the fact that we have more exposure in the event one of these large customers fails to fulfill its payment obligations to us for any reason.
 
11
 
The shortage of critical raw and packaging materials could negatively impact our supply chain, affecting our operations and results.
 
The shortage of critical raw and packaging materials, either due to changes in consumption patterns, the level of crop production around the world, quality and availability of supply, and/or problems associated with international trade logistics, the latter for the case of raw and packaging materials purchased in markets outside of the countries where we operate, could affect our supply chain and negatively impact our production levels and, consequently, our results. This issue has become more relevant recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has abruptly increased the demand for some packaging formats and has interrupted the normal operation of international trade logistics. If we face the interruption or lack of supply of critical raw and packaging materials, we cannot assure that we can obtain favorable prices or advantageous terms in their acquisition, which could negatively affect our results.
 
Furthermore, disruptions on international trade logistics have caused delays and difficulties on export shipments including significant increases in freights.
 
Water supply is essential to the development of our businesses.
 
Water is an essential component for the production of our beverage products and the irrigation of our fields. Any failures in our water supply, regulatory changes that limit the use of this resource, water scarcity or a contamination of our water sources, could negatively affect our sales and profitability.
 
As a commitment to the environment and natural resources, the Company has implemented long-term policies to develop a responsible and sustainable use of water. Through its 2020 Environmental Vision plan, initiated in 2010, the Company reduced the consumption of this resource by approximately 49% per liter produced as of 2020. Furthermore, through the 2030 Environmental Vision plan, the Company committed to continue optimizing the consumption of water per liter produced, by reaching a goal of 60% decrease in consumption.
 
The Chilean Congress approved in January 2022 a bill which introduces changes to the Chilean Water Regulation (
Código de Aguas
), which it was being discussed since 2011. This bill was published on April 6, 2022, and establishes, among other things: (i) a new regime for the constitution of rights to use water temporarily which will be applicable to future water rights granted, (ii) introduces an expiration system for the non-use of water when the necessary infrastructure for their use is not constructed and such water rights appear in the patent payment list for no use for a certain period, (iii) a deadline for regularization and registration of water rights, (iii) it regulates the environmental, scenic, landscape and social function of the waters, (iv) the obligation to inform any changes of the uses of water rights, (v) the obligation of forming underground water communities in certain areas declared as restriction or prohibition zones, and (vi) the recognition of the access to water as a Human Right.
 
Furthermore, decrees issued by the
Dirección General de Aguas
(“DGA”) (the Chilean water authority) declared restriction and prohibition zones for the constitution of rights to use groundwater, establishing the obligation to create communities of groundwater, which in turn could restrict the exercise of rights that the Company currently owns as well as the change in its extraction points. Without prejudice of the foregoing, the President has the capability to declare, during a period of extraordinary drought, due to a request by, or based on a report of, the DGA, a water scarcity zone for a maximum period of one year, in which the Chilean water authority could redistribute water available in natural sources and authorize the extraction of water from superficial or ground sources.      
 
The supply, production and logistics chain is critical to the timely supply of our products to consumer centers.
 
Our supply, production and logistics chain is crucial for the delivery of our products to consumer centers. An interruption or a significant failure in this chain may negatively affect our results if the failure is not quickly resolved. An interruption in the chain could be caused by various factors, such as strikes, utility shutdowns such as customs and ports, planning errors of our suppliers, terrorism, safety failures, complaints by communities, or other factors which are beyond our control.
 
12
 
Catastrophic events in the regions in which we operate could have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition
.
 
Natural disasters, climate change impact events, pandemics or other catastrophic events could impair our ability to manufacture, distribute or sell our products. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to manage such events effectively if they occur, could adversely affect our sales volume, cost and supply of raw materials, earnings and could have a significant effect on our business, operational results, and financial position.
 
Chile has been affected in the past by several natural disasters, earthquakes, including large floods, mudslides and forest fires. These events did not have a significant effect on our operations, although a future catastrophic event could have a significant effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Health crises, pandemics or the outbreak of contagious diseases at a global or regional level could have a negative impact on our operations and financial position.
 
A health crisis, pandemic or the outbreak of disease at a global or regional level, such as the outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, could have a negative impact on our operations and financial position. The above-mentioned circumstances could impede the normal operation of the Company, interrupt our supply chain, limit our production and distribution capacity, and/or generate a contraction in the demand for our products, as happened during the period of higher restrictions during the second and third quarter of 2020. Despite progress in vaccination efforts, global economic activity remains uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Further, new variants of COVID-19 could spread globally and cause an increase in COVID-19 cases across several of the jurisdictions where we operate. In November 2021, a new variant, Omicron, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to date, was detected, and has since caused an increase in COVID-19 cases in multiple countries, including some of those where we conduct our operations, and of which the potential severity is currently being evaluated. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. An extended period of economic disruption could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and overall financial condition.
 
Any prolonged restrictive measures put in place to control an outbreak of a contagious disease or other adverse public health developments, including quarantines, medical screenings, travel restrictions and suspension of certain activities, in any of our markets may have a material and adverse effect on our business operations. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial condition will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on consumers’ and industries’ confidence, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted based on the impacts observed to date.
 
The Company has contingency plans to protect the health of the people and to maintain the continuity of our operation, but we cannot assure you that these plans will be sufficient to mitigate a material impact on our results and financial position from such events. Specifically, since March 2020, we have implemented a regional plan with three priorities: (i) the safety of our people and the community we interact with, (ii) operation continuity, and (iii) financial health. This has allowed us to continue supplying our clients and consumers with our products and maintaining a safe work environment. At the close of this report, CCU continues selling, producing and distributing its products normally in all the countries where it operates, where restrictive measures continue to be implemented to face the ongoing spread and new variants of COVID-19.  
 
If we are unable to protect our information systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted.
 
We are increasingly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information. In particular, we depend on our information technology infrastructure, including data centers, for sales, production, planning and logistics, marketing activities and electronic communications within the Company and with our clients, suppliers and our subsidiaries. Security breaches of this infrastructure can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. If we are unable to prevent such breaches, our operations could be disrupted, or we may suffer financial damage or loss because of lost or misappropriated information. The Company has developed a cybersecurity plan which addresses critical aspects, but we cannot assure you that these measures will be sufficient.

Possible regulations for labeling materials and advertising of alcoholic beverages and other food products in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect us.
 
Law N° 20,606 of 2012 and Law N° 20,869 of 2015, relating to the Nutritional Composition of Foods and their Advertising and the complementary regulations, in force since June 2016, establish certain restrictions on the advertising, labelling and marketing of foods classified as "high" in certain defined critical nutrients, which affects a part of our portfolio of non-alcoholic beverages.
 
On August 2021 Law N° 21,363 was published establishing regulations regarding commercialization and advertising of alcoholic beverages, including, among others, the incorporation of warnings about the consumption of alcohol on labeling and promotional materials, the obligation to inform the energy content of the products on labeling, time restriction for advertising, and prohibited promotional activities or advertising of alcohol in relation to sport and cultural activities. These measures will enter into force immediately or deferred as established in the aforementioned Law. This Law and regulations could affect our alcoholic beverages portfolio and certain marketing activities.
 
Currently, a bill is being discussed in Chilean Congress to amend Law N° 18,455, which sets standards on the production, processing and marketing of alcoholic beverages and vinegars, in matters relating to information on ingredients and mandatory nutritional information, as well as the incorporation of warning labels established for foods rated “high” in, when applicable.
 
If further legislation or other regulations that restrict the sale of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages is passed, it could affect the consumption of our products and therefore, adversely impact our business.
 
New applicable environmental regulations could affect our business.
 
CCU’s operations are subject to local, national and international environmental norms and regulations. These regulations cover, among other things, emissions from different sources, noise, disposal of solid and liquid wastes, the temporary storage of residuals, and other activities inherent to our industry. On this topic, on June 1, 2016 Law N° 20,920 was enacted and established a framework for waste management and extended producer responsibility, and stimulation of recycling (“REP Law”), with the objective of lowering the generation of waste of priority products as determined by the bill and fostering recycling of the waste. On November 30, 2017, the Regulations on Procedures of the REP Law were published. In March 16, 2021, the collection, valorization and other associated obligations for packaging materials were published. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – E. Environmental Matters.”
 
Additionally, on August 13, 2021 Law N° 21,368 was published, which regulates single-use plastic products and plastic bottles, and strengthens returnability. The bill requires (i) that disposable plastic bottles that are commercialized must be manufactured containing a percentage of plastic that has been collected and recycled within the country in the proportions to be established by means of a regulation to be issued within 18 months as of the date of publication of the law; (ii) retail businesses (including e-commerce and delivery applications) to have returnable plastic bottles for beverages (excluding alcoholic and dairy products), effective for supermarkets 6 months as of the date of publication of the law and two years for the rest of the retailers; and (iii) prohibits establishments that sell food from using any kind of non-recyclable single-use containers, on premise and for deliveries, with effective dates depending on the establishment and the kind of plastic used.
 
On March 9, 2022, the Chilean Congress approved the
Ley Marco de Cambio Climático
, which is pending enactment and publication. This law aims to establish principles, governance, management instruments and adequate financing mechanisms, to allow for an economic development low in greenhouse gas emissions, reduce vulnerability, establish a carbon neutral goal by law, and increase resilience, all to guarantee the compliance of climate change international commitments made by Chile.
 
14
 
In Argentina, in October 2021, a bill that establishes minimum environmental protection standards for the integral management of containers and post-consumer containers throughout the national territory was submitted to Congress for consideration. The bill aims to prevent and reduce the impact of containers in the environment, introducing the principle of extended producer responsibility.
 
CCU has been actively participating through the associations that represent the different industrial sectors, in public and private discussion panels with respect to the development and implementation of these new regulations. Furthermore, the Company, through its 2030 Environmental Vision plan, will commit to continue reducing greenhouse gas emissions per liter produced in order to reach a 50% reduction on such emissions, as well as continue optimizing water consumption per liter produced, until we reach a 60% reduction rate. We are also committed to reaching a 100% valorization of industrial solid waste, 75% use of renewable energy, 100% of reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging, and aiming for packaging to be made out on average of 50% recycled material.
 
Although we cannot predict the impact of such measures at this time, possible future regulations could have an adverse effect on our business.
 
If we are unable to maintain the image and quality of our products and a good relationship with our clients and consumers, our financial results may suffer.
 
The image and quality of our products is essential for the success and development of the Company. Problems with product quality could tarnish the reputation of our products and may adversely affect our sales revenues. The Company must also ensure that our sales force provides good customer service and adapts to fulfill the needs and preferences of our consumers. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with our clients and consumers, our financial results may suffer.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have an adverse effect on our ability to attract and retain key personnel and third-party contractors, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a shortage of talent for certain business functions, which in turn has affected companies from all industries and across the globe, including ours. In the future, we may continue to encounter competition from other companies in our efforts to hire experienced professionals for both key roles and third-party contractor positions, which could make it difficult for us to identify sufficiently skilled and qualified people or to obtain all the necessary expertise locally or at reasonable rates due to the shortage of appropriately qualified individuals. Failure to obtain services from key personnel and/or third-party contractors with critical skills could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our insurance coverage may be insufficient or inadequate to cover certain losses we may incur.
 
Our insurance coverage is in line with our internal policies and in line with the industry standards. In the case of extraordinary events, our insurance may be insufficient to cover certain losses. As of the date of this offering memorandum, we maintain full-risk insurance coverage for our physical assets, including machinery malfunctions and damage due to stoppages and earthquakes for all of our assets. Our insurance policies are subject to deductibles and coverage limits, and despite being in line with industry standards, may not be adequate to provide coverage for certain claims. Moreover, the insurance market remains cyclical and catastrophic events can change the state of the insurance market, leading to sudden and unexpected increases in premiums and deductibles or unavailability of coverage for reasons unrelated to our business. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that future policies will not have terms that are less favorable than those currently in place.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR ADSs
 
We are controlled by one majority shareholder, whose interests may differ from those of holders of our ADSs, and this shareholder may take actions that adversely affect the value of a holder’s ADSs or common stock.
 
As of December 31, 2021, Inversiones y Rentas S.A. (“IRSA”) a Chilean closely held corporation, directly and indirectly owned 65.87% of our shares of common stock. Accordingly, IRSA has the power to control the election of most members of our board of directors and its interests may differ from those of the holders of our ADSs. IRSA also has significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and going-private transactions. In addition, actions by IRSA with respect to the disposal of the shares of common stock that it owns, or the perception that such actions may occur, may adversely affect the trading prices of our ADSs or common stock.
 
Chilean economic policies, currency fluctuations, exchange controls and currency devaluations may adversely affect the price of our ADSs.
 
The Chilean government’s economic policies and any future changes in the value of the CLP relative to the USD could adversely affect the USD value and the return on any investment in our ADSs. The CLP has been subject to nominal devaluations and appreciations in the past and may be subject to fluctuations in the future. For example, when comparing the average exchange rates for each period, the Chilean peso appreciated by 4.7% and 1.1% in 2017, and 2018, respectively, and depreciated by 9.5% and 12.7%, in 2019 and 2020, respectively, while it appreciated 4.0% in 2021. When comparing the exchange rate as of the end of each period, the Chilean peso appreciated by 8.2% in 2017, depreciated 13.0% in 2018, depreciated 7.8% in 2019, appreciated 5.0% in 2020, and depreciated 18.8% in 2021. See “Item 3: Key Information – A. Selected Financial Data – Exchange Rates.”
 
While our ADSs trade in USD, Chilean trading in the shares of our common stock underlying our ADSs is conducted in CLP. Cash distributions to be received by the depositary for the shares of our common stock underlying our ADSs will be denominated in CLP. The depositary will translate any CLP received by it to USD at the then-prevailing exchange rate with the purpose of making dividend and other distribution payments on the ADSs. If the value of the CLP declines relative to the USD, the value of our ADSs and any distributions to holders of our ADSs received from the depositary may be adversely affected. See “Item 8: Financial Information – A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Dividend Policy and Dividends”.
 
For example, since our consolidated financial statements are reported in CLP, a decline in the value of the CLP against the USD would reduce our earnings as reported in USD. Any dividend we may pay in the future would be denominated in CLP. A decline in the value of the CLP against the USD would reduce the USD equivalent of any such dividend. Additionally, in the event of a dividend or other distribution, if exchange rates fluctuate during any period of time when the ADS depositary cannot convert a foreign currency into USD, a holder of our ADSs may lose some of the value of the distribution. Also, since dividends in Chile are subject to withholding taxes, which we retain until the following year when the exact amount to be paid is determined, if part of the retained amount is refunded to the shareholders, the amount received by holders of our ADSs would be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the two dates.
 
Holders of our ADSs may be subject to certain risks since holders of our ADSs do not hold shares of our common stock directly.
 
ADS holders may exercise voting rights associated with common stock only in accordance with the deposit agreement governing our ADSs. Accordingly, ADS holders will face practical limitations when exercising their voting rights because ADS holders must first receive a notice of a shareholders’ meeting from the depositary and may then exercise their voting rights by instructing the depositary, on a timely basis, on how they wish to vote. This voting process necessarily will take longer for ADS holders than for direct common stockholders, who are able to exercise their vote by attending our shareholders’ meetings. Therefore, if the depositary fails to receive timely voting instructions from some or all ADS holders, the depositary will assume that ADS holders agree to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us to vote their ADSs on their behalf. Furthermore, ADS holders may not receive voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote. Accordingly, ADS holders may not be able to properly exercise their voting rights.
 
16
 
The right of a holder of our ADSs to force us to purchase the underlying shares of our common stock pursuant to Chilean corporate law upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited.
 
Because of the absence of legal precedent as to whether a shareholder that has voted both for and against a proposal, such as the depositary of our ADSs, may exercise withdrawal rights (as described in “Item 10. Additional Information – B. Memorandum and Articles of Association”) with respect to those shares voted against the proposal, there is doubt as to whether a holder of ADSs will be able to exercise withdrawal rights either directly or through the depositary for the shares of our common stock represented by their ADSs. Accordingly, for a holder of our ADSs to exercise its appraisal rights, it may be required to surrender its ADRs, withdraw the shares of our common stock represented by its ADSs, and vote the shares against the proposal.
 
In the past, Chile has imposed controls on foreign investment and repatriation of investments that affected investments in, and earnings from, our ADSs.
 
Equity investments in Chile by persons who are not Chilean residents have historically been subject to various exchange control regulations that restrict repatriation of investments and earnings therefrom. In April 2001, the Central Bank eliminated most of the regulations that affected foreign investors, although foreign investors still have to provide the Central Bank with information related to equity investments and must conduct such operations within the formal exchange market. Additional Chilean restrictions applicable to holders of our ADSs, the disposition of the shares underlying them, the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition or the payment of dividends may be imposed in the future, and we cannot advise you as to the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed. See also “Item 10: Additional Information – D. Exchange Controls”.
 
If for any reason, including changes in Chilean law, the depositary for our ADSs were unable to convert CLP to USD, investors would receive dividends and other distributions, if any, in CLP.
 
Preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of our common stock may be unavailable to holders of our ADSs in certain circumstances and, as a result, their ownership interest in our Company may be diluted.
 
The
Ley sobre Sociedades Anónimas
N° 18,046 (the “Chilean Corporations Act”), and its ordinance (
Reglamento de Sociedades Anónimas)
, require us, whenever we issue new shares for cash, to grant preemptive rights to all holders of shares of our common stock, including shares of our common stock represented by ADSs, giving those holders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. We may not be able to offer shares to holders of our ADSs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to our shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.
 
We intend to evaluate at the time of any future offerings of shares of our common stock the costs and potential liabilities associated with any registration statement as well as the indirect benefits to us of enabling U.S. owners of our ADSs to exercise preemptive rights and any other factors that we consider appropriate at the time, before deciding whether or not to file such a registration statement. We cannot assure you that any such registration statement would be filed.
 
To the extent that a holder of our ADSs is unable to exercise their preemptive rights because a registration statement has not been filed, the depositary will attempt to sell the holder’s preemptive rights and distribute the net proceeds of the sale, net of the depositary’s fees and expenses, to the holder, provided that a secondary market for those rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of the sale. A secondary market for the sale of preemptive rights can be expected to develop if the subscription price of the shares of our common stock upon exercise of the rights is below the prevailing market price of the shares of our common stock. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that a secondary market in preemptive rights will develop in connection with any future issuance of shares of our common stock or that if a market develops, a premium can be recognized on their sale. Amounts received in exchange for the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to shares of our common stock will be taxable in Chile and in the United States. See “Item 10: Additional Information – E. Taxation – Chilean Tax Considerations – Capital Gains” and “– United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – Taxation of Capital Gains”. If the rights cannot be sold, they will expire and a holder of our ADSs will not realize any value from the grant of the preemptive rights. In either case, the equity interest of a holder of our ADSs in U.S. will be diluted proportionately.

ITEM 4: Information on the Company
 
 
A.
History and Development of the Company
 
Our current legal and commercial name is Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. We are a public corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized by means of a public deed dated January 8, 1902,
following the merger of two existing breweries, one of which traces its origins back to 1850, when Mr. Joaquín Plagemann founded one of the first breweries in Chile (in Valparaíso). By 1916, we owned and operated the largest brewing facilities in Chile. Our operations have also included the production and commercialization of soft drinks since the beginning of the last century, the bottling and selling of mineral water products since 1960, the production and commercialization of wine since 1994, the production and commercialization of beer in Argentina since 1995, the production and commercialization of pisco since 2003 and the production and commercialization of rum since 2007. Also, we had been involved in the production and commercialization of sweet snacks products from 2004 until December 2018.
 
We are subject to a full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay. These regulations include labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection and environmental laws, securities laws, and antitrust laws. In addition, regulations exist to ensure health and safety conditions in facilities for the production and distribution of beverages and sweet snacks products.

In 1986, IRSA, our current controlling shareholder, acquired its controlling interest in us through purchases of common stock at an auction conducted by a receiver who had assumed control of us following the economic crisis in Chile in the early 80’s, which resulted in our inability to meet our obligations to our creditors. IRSA, at that time, was a joint venture between Quiñenco S.A. (“Quiñenco”) and the Schörghuber Group from Germany, through its wholly owned subsidiary Finance Holding International B.V. (“FHI”) of the Netherlands.
 
In September 1992, we issued 4,520,582 ADSs, each representing five shares of our common stock, in an international American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) offering. The underlying ADSs were listed and traded on the NASDAQ, until March 25, 1999. Since that date, the ADSs have been listed and traded on the NYSE. On December 20, 2012, the ratio of ADSs to shares of common stock was changed from 1 to 5, to a new ratio of 1 to 2.

Prior to November 1994, we independently produced, bottled and distributed carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks in Chile. In November 1994, we merged our soft drink and mineral water businesses with the one owned by Buenos Aires Embotelladora S.A. (“BAESA”) in Chile (PepsiCo’s bottler in Chile at that time) creating Embotelladoras Chilenas Unidas S.A. (“ECUSA”) for the production, bottling, distribution and commercialization of soft drink and mineral water products in Chile. Through ECUSA, we began producing PepsiCo brands under license. We have had control of ECUSA since January 1998, when the shareholders agreement was amended. On November 29, 1999 we purchased 45% of ECUSA’s shares owned by BAESA for approximately CLP 54,118 million. We currently own 99.98% of ECUSA’s shares. In January 2001, ECUSA and Schweppes Holdings Ltd. signed an agreement to continue bottling Crush and Canada Dry brands. See “Item 4. B. Business Overview – 4. Production and Marketing – Chile Operating segment”.
 
In 1994 we purchased 48.4% of the equity of the Chilean wine producer Viña San Pedro S.A. (“VSP”) for approximately CLP 17,470 million. During the first half of 1995, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 14,599 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 7,953 million. From August through October 1997, VSP’s capital was increased again by approximately CLP 11,872 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 6,617 million, plus approximately CLP 191 million in additional shares bought during October 1997 in the local stock market. Furthermore, in October 1998 and during 1999, we purchased additional shares in VSP through the local stock exchanges for an amount of approximately CLP 5,526 million. From March through June 1999, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 17,464 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 10,797 million.
 
In December 1995, we entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which Anheuser-Busch acquired a 4.4% interest in CCU Argentina. The agreement involved two different contracts: an investment and a licensing contract. Through CCU Argentina, we began our expansion into Argentina by acquiring an interest in two Argentine breweries: 62.7% of the outstanding shares of Compañía Industrial Cervecera S.A. (“CICSA”), were acquired during January and February 1995 and 98.8% of the outstanding shares of Cervecería Santa Fe S.A. (“CSF”), were acquired in September 1995. In 1997, CCU Argentina increased its interest in CICSA to 97.2% and in CSF to 99.9% through the purchase of non-controlling interests. In January 1998, we decided to merge these two breweries into one company operating under the name of CICSA. Following the merger, CCU Argentina’s interest in CICSA was 99.2%. In April 1998, CCU Argentina completed the purchase of the brands and assets of Cervecería Córdoba S.A. As of mid-1998, after the resolution of certain labor issues, we began the production of the Córdoba brand at our Santa Fe plant.
 
After a capital increase approved by our shareholders in October 1996, we raised approximately USD 196 million between December 1996 and April 1999. Part of this capital expansion was accomplished between December 1996 and January 1997 through our second ADR offering in the international markets.
 
In November 2000, we and Malterías Unidas S.A. (currently Maltexco S.A.) became joint owners (50% each) of Cervecería Austral S.A. (“Cervecería Austral”), a Chilean company located in the city of Punta Arenas that produces, sells and distributes Austral beer in Chile. Additionally, Cervecera CCU Chile Limitada (“Cervecería CCU”) has a two-year renewable license agreement, subject to compliance with the conditions established in the agreement, for the production of Austral Lager beer, returnable liter containers and kegs in Chile and a distribution agreement for the sale and marketing of all Austral products in Chile, with the exception of the Magallanes Region, where selling and distribution is carried out by Comercial Patagona Ltda., a subsidiary of Cervecería Austral.
 
During 2000, VSP, through its subsidiary Finca La Celia S.A. (“FLC”), acquired the winery Finca La Celia in Mendoza, Argentina, initiating its international expansion, allowing VSP to include fine quality Argentine wines into its export product portfolio. In December 2001, Viña Santa Helena S.A. (“VSH”) created its own commercial and productive winemaking operation, distinct from its parent, VSP, under the Viña Santa Helena label in the Colchagua Valley. Between November 2000 and March 2001, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 22,279 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 13,402 million.
 
In May 2002, we acquired a 50% stake in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., currently Cervecería Kunstmann S.A. (“CK”), a brewery located in the southern city of Valdivia, in Chile. In June 2003, our beer division began selling Kunstmann nationwide. In November 2006, we acquired additional shares of CK that allowed us to consolidate this subsidiary into our consolidated financial statements as of that month.

In February 2003, we began the sale of a new product for our beverage portfolio, pisco, under the brand Ruta Norte. Pisco is a grape spirit very popular in Chile that is produced in the northern part of the country. Our pisco, at that time, was only produced in the Elqui Valley in the Coquimbo Region and was sold throughout the country by our beer division sales force. In March 2005, we entered into an association with the second-largest pisco producer at that time, Cooperativa Agrícola Control Pisquero de Elqui y Limarí Ltda. (“Control”). This new joint venture was named Compañía Pisquera de Chile S.A. (“CPCh”), to which the companies contributed principally with assets, commercial brands and – in the case of Control – also some financial liabilities. Currently we own 80% of CPCh and Control owns the remaining 20%.
 
On April 17, 2003, the Schörghuber Group, at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, gave Quiñenco, also at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, formal notice of its intent to sell 100% of its interest in FHI to Heineken Americas B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V. As a result of the sale, Quiñenco and Heineken Americas B.V., the latter through FHI, became the only two shareholders of IRSA, the owner of 61.6% of our equity at that time, each with a 50% interest in IRSA. Heineken International B.V. and FHI subsequently formed Heineken Chile Ltda., to hold the latter’s 50% interest in IRSA. Therefore, Quiñenco and Heineken Chile Ltda. are the only two current shareholders of IRSA, with 50% equity each. On December 30, 2003, FHI merged into Heineken Americas B.V., which together with Heineken International B.V. remained as the only shareholders of Heineken Chile Ltda. As of March 31, 2022 and as of the date of this annual report, IRSA directly and indirectly owned 65.87% of our shares of common stock.
 
In August 2003, VSP formed Viña Tabalí S.A., a joint venture in equal parts with Sociedad Agrícola y Ganadera Río Negro Ltda., for the production of premium wines. This winery is in the Limarí Valley, Chile’s northernmost winemaking region, which is noted for the production of outstanding wines.
 
In January 2004, we entered the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture between CCU Inversiones S.A. and Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A., a subsidiary of Quiñenco, with a 50% interest each in Calaf S.A., which was renamed Foods Compañía de Alimentos CCU S.A. (“Foods”), a corporation that acquired the trademarks, assets and know-how, among other things, of Calaf S.A.I.C. and Francisca Calaf S.A., traditional Chilean candy makers, renowned for more than a century. In 2007 we acquired the brand Natur, adding a new line of products to our ready-to-eat portfolio. In August 2008, Foods bought 50% of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A. (“Nutrabien”), a company that specializes in brownies and other high-quality baked goods under the brand Nutrabien.
 
In October 2004, VSP acquired the well-known Manquehuito Pop Wine brand, a sparkling fruit-flavored wine with low alcohol content, broadening its range of products. At VSP’s extraordinary shareholders meeting held on July 7, 2005, the shareholders approved a capital increase that was to be partially used for stock option programs. During October and November 2005, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 346 million. We did not participate in this capital increase.
 
In December 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with Watt’s S.A. (“Watt’s”), a local food related company, under which, as of January 30, 2007, we participate in equal parts in Promarca S.A. (“Promarca”). This new company owns, among others, the brands “Watt’s”, “Watt’s Ice Frut”, “Yogu Yogu” and “Shake a Shake” in Chile. Promarca granted both of its shareholders (New Ecusa S.A., a former subsidiary of ECUSA, which as of the date of this annual report has been merged into ECUSA, and Watt’s Dos S.A., a subsidiary of Watt’s S.A.), for an indefinite period, the exclusive licenses for the production and sale of the different product categories.
 
In January 2007, Viña Tabalí S.A. bought the assets of Viña Leyda, located in the Leyda Valley, a new winemaking region south of Casablanca Valley and close to the Pacific Ocean. Viña Leyda produces excellent wines that have won awards in different international contests. After this acquisition, Viña Tabalí S.A. changed its name to Viña Valles de Chile S.A. In September 2007, VSP bought a 50% interest in Viña Altaïr S.A. which belonged to Château Dassault, in line with our strategy of focusing on premium wines. Consequently, VSP owns 100% of said company. Between April and June 2007, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 13,692 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 5,311 million.

In May 2007, CPCh entered the rum market with our proprietary brand Sierra Morena and later, in 2008, added new rum brand extensions and introduced various pisco based cocktails. In June 2010 CPCh purchased Fehrenberg, a small, but well-recognized spirits brand produced in Chile. In July 2011 CPCh began the distribution of Pernod Ricard products (Chivas Regal, Ballantine’s, Havana Club, Absolut, among others). Furthermore, in 2011, CPCh signed a license agreement for the commercialization and distribution in Chile of the pisco brand Bauzá. In addition, in 2011 CPCh acquired 49% of the licensor company Compañía Pisquera Bauzá S.A. (“Bauza”), the owner of the brand in Chile, and CPCh sold such interest to Agroproductos Bauzá S.A. in January 2016.
 
In December 2007, we entered into an agreement with Nestlé Chile S.A. and Nestlé Waters Chile S.A., the latter of which acquired a 20% interest in our subsidiary Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. (“Aguas CCU”), the company through which we develop our bottled water business in Chile. As part of this new association, Aguas CCU introduced in 2008 the Nestlé Pure Life brand in Chile. On June 4, 2009 ECUSA received a notice from Nestlé Waters Chile S.A.
whereby it exercised its irrevocable option to buy 29.9% of Aguas CCU’s equity, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the association agreement. The completion of the deal represented a profit before taxes for ECUSA of CLP 24,439 million. On September 30, 2009 in the extraordinary shareholders’ meetings, Aguas CCU and Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. approved the merger of both companies, the latter being the surviving company under the name Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. The current shareholders of Aguas CCU are ECUSA (50.10%) and Nestlé Chile S.A. (49.90%).
 
In 2008, the licensing contract, that grants CCU Argentina the exclusive right to produce, package, commercialize and distribute Budweiser beer in Argentina, was extended until 2025. After subsequent capital increases, the last one in June 2008, Anheuser-Busch reduced its interest in CCU Argentina to 4.04% and we increased our participation to 95.96%. In April 2008, we bought the Argentine brewer Inversora Cervecera S.A. (“ICSA”) after receiving the approval of the Argentine antitrust authorities. CICSA paid an aggregate amount of USD 88 million to acquire ICSA. ICSA owns, among other assets, the Bieckert, Palermo and Imperial beer brands, which together represented approximately 5.8% of the Argentine beer market, and a brewery in Luján, Buenos Aires, with a nominal production capacity of 270 million liters per year.
 
In November 2008, CCU and its affiliate VSP entered into a Merger Agreement with Compañía Chilena de Fósforos S.A. and its subsidiaries Terciados y Elaboración de Maderas S.A. and Viña Tarapacá S.A. (“VT”), in order to merge VT into VSP. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and prior to its execution, CCU had to acquire 25% of VT’s equity. On December 3, 2008, the extraordinary shareholders’ meetings of VSP and VT approved the merger of both companies. Once all the legal requirements were fulfilled, the merger by absorption of VT by VSP was completed on December 9, 2008, with an effective date for accounting purposes of October 1, 2008. The surviving company was named Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. (“VSPT”), which began consolidating its financial statements with ours on October 1, 2008, with operations commencing on December 9, 2008. VSPT’s capital was increased because of the merger, by issuing 15,987,878,653 shares to be exchanged for the total number of shares issued by VT at a ratio of 1,480.30828 new VSPT shares per each share of the absorbed company.
 
In March 2009, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. placed corporate bonds in the Chilean Market, 21-year bonds in an amount of 2 million UF, with an annual interest rate of 4.3%.
 
In December 2010, our subsidiary Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda., acquired a 4.04% equity stake in CCU Argentina from Anheuser-Busch Investment, S.L. After the acquisition, CCU, through its subsidiary Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda., became the sole equity holder of CCU Argentina. This transaction had no effect on the Budweiser brand production and distribution contract, which was set to expire in 2025 (prior to the 2017 offer letter signed between ABI and CCU Argentina described below). The license for the distribution of the brand in Chile expired in 2015. Currently, CCU’s subsidiaries Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda. and Inversiones Invex CCU Dos Ltda. own 80.649% and 19.351%, respectively, of CCU Argentina’s share capital. CCU Argentina owns 78.497% of CICSA’s share capital, Inversiones Invex CCU Dos Ltda. owns the remaining 21.503%.

In December 2010, CICSA acquired equity interests in Saénz Briones y Cía. S.A.I.C. and Sidra La Victoria S.A. Through this transaction, CICSA became the controlling shareholder of these companies. These companies own the assets used in the production, packaging and marketing of cider and other spirits businesses in Argentina, which are marketed through several brands, the most important cider and spirits brands are Real, La Victoria, Saénz Briones, 1888 and in spirits, El Abuelo. In 2015 Sidra La Victoria S.A. merged with and into Saénz Briones y Cía S.A.I.C.
 
In August 2011, the board of directors of VSPT agreed to spin-off Viña Valles de Chile S.A. (“VDC”), a corporation owned, in equal parts, by VSPT and Sociedad Agrícola y Ganadero Río Negro Limitada (“ARN”). VDC had two major vineyards: Viña Tabalí and Viña Leyda. According to such agreement, VSPT would remain the sole owner of Viña Leyda (whose net assets would remain within VDC) and ARN would remain the sole owner of Viña Tabalí (whose net assets would be assigned to the spun off company). This transaction concluded on December 29, 2011, through a stock swap contract, whereby VDC became a subsidiary of VSPT, that is, directly and indirectly, 100% owned by VSPT.
 
In September 2012, CCU acquired 100% of the shares of the Uruguayan companies Milotur S.A. (“Milotur”), Marzurel S.A. (“Marzurel”) and Coralina S.A. (“Coralina”) and, indirectly of Andrimar S.A. (“Andrimar”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Milotur. These companies own the assets of a business developed in Uruguay that engages in the production and commercialization of mineral and flavored bottled water under the Nativa brand, and carbonated soft drinks under the Nix brand. Milotur also commercializes Schneider and Heineken beer brands, the latter due to an amendment to the trademark license agreement in force with Heineken Brouwerijen B.V.
 
In December 2012, Aguas CCU completed an acquisition of 51.01% of the company Manantial S.A. (“Manantial”), a Home and Office Delivery (“HOD”) business of purified water in bottles with the use of dispensers. The partnership enabled Aguas CCU to participate in a new business category. The shareholders agreement of Manantial included a call option to purchase the remaining shares.
 
On June 18, 2013, the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting approved the issuance of 51,000,000 of common shares which were registered in the “Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros” (“SVS”), currently “Comisión para el Mercado Financiero” (“CMF”), under N° 980 on July 23, 2013. On November 8, 2013 CCU successfully concluded this capital increase, the total number of shares issued pursuant to the capital increase having been subscribed and paid, raising a total amount of CLP 331,718,929,410. This capital increase was made in order to continue our expansion plan, which includes organic and inorganic growth in Chile and the surrounding region. Part of this capital increase was offered in the international markets, representing our third ADR offering.
 
In December 2013, CCU acquired 50.005% of Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. (“Bebidas del Paraguay”), and 49.959% of Distribuidora del Paraguay S.A. (“Distribuidora del Paraguay”), entering the Paraguayan market with the production, marketing and sale of non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks, juices and water, and the marketing and sale of beer, under various brands, both proprietary and under licensees and imported.
 
Furthermore, in 2013, CCU, through its subsidiary CCU Inversiones S.A., increased its stake in VSPT to 64.72% by acquiring additional outstanding shares of VSPT.
VSPT is formed by the wineries San Pedro, Tarapacá, Santa Helena, Viña Leyda, Misiones de Rengo, Viña Mar, Casa Rivas, Finca La Celia, and Bodega Tamarí.
These are all important and renowned cellars in Chile and Argentina, each with its own distinctive brands.

In June 2013, the merger of Viña Misiones de Rengo S.A. and Viña Urmeneta S.A. was completed, with Viña Valles de Chile S.A., as the legal successor. In May 2014 Vitivinícola del Maipo S.A. merged into Viñas Orgánicas SPT S.A., the latter being the legal successor. Additionally, in April 2015 Viña Santa Helena S.A. merged into Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A., pursuant to the Chilean Corporations Act, due to the fact that Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. became the sole shareholder of the company for more than 10 days.  On December 21, 2020, the board of Directors of Finca La Celia S.A. and Bodega San Juan S.A.U. approved to carry out a merger by absorption, pursuant to which Finca La Celia S.A. was the surviving entity, effective as of January 1, 2021. In order for the merger to materialize, all legal requirements must be complied with, and the merger must be ultimately approved by the
Inspección General de Justicia de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina

In May 2014, CCU entered the Bolivian market through a partnership with Grupo Monasterio, acquiring 34% of Bebidas Bolivianas BBO S.A. (“BBO”). BBO produces and commercializes alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in Bolivia. CCU's initial stake in BBO was 34%, which was obtained by a capital injection, and which contemplated the right of CCU to acquire additional interests that would enable it to own 51% of the shares of BBO in a second stage. This transaction also included contracts that allow BBO to operate CCU’s brands in Bolivia. The Company has recorded this investment under joint ventures and associated companies.

Overview
 
Overview:
Chile Operating segment
 
We estimate that our weighted volume market share for the Chile Operating segment was approximately 43.8%, 45.2% and 46.2% in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The calculation of the weighted average for past periods includes markets and industries that CCU entered at a later date.
Weighted volume market share includes all categories in which CCU participates in the Chilean domestic market, excluding HOD, powder drinks and energy drinks (for 2021 figure), according to Nielsen figures.
 
We produce and sell alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in Chile. In the beer category, we carry a wide portfolio of products which includes premium, mainstream and convenience brands, which are primarily marketed under different proprietary brands and licensed brands. We are the exclusive producer and distributor of Heineken, Sol and Coors beer in Chile; the exclusive distributor of imported Tecate beer and Blue Moon beer and we produce and distribute Kunstmann, Dolbek, Guayacan, Mahina, Szot, Polar Imperial, Patagonia and Austral beer in Chile via distribution or license agreements.
 
Our non-alcoholic beverages in Chile include carbonated soft drinks (both cola and non-cola), juices, sports and energy drinks, ice tea; and water, which include mineral, purified and flavored bottled water. These include both our proprietary brands and brands produced under license, from PepsiCo (carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks), Schweppes Holdings (carbonated soft drinks) and Promarca (juice and fruit-flavored beverages).

Wholesale and retail prices of all the previously mentioned categories are not regulated in Chile. Wholesale prices are subject to negotiation between the producer and the purchaser, while retailers determine retail prices to the final consumer. We believe that the key factors determining retailers’ prices include: national and/or local price promotions offered by the manufacturer, the nature of product consumption (on-premise or off-premise), the type of packaging (returnable or non-returnable), the applicable tax structure and the desired profit margins considering all related costs and expenditures such as marketing, sales, distribution, and administrative expenses (MSD&A) and production.

those areas where this synergic sales model is more efficient. Additionally, product distribution is handled by our subsidiary Transportes CCU. Comercial Patagona Limitada (“Comercial Patagona”) handles our sales and distribution in the Magallanes Region.

Other relevant proprietary parent brands are: Royal Guard, our premium beer brand; Morenita, our dark beer brand; Dorada, our convenience brand; and Stones, a flavored sweetened beer with 2.5% alcohol content. From time to time, we introduce innovations and brand extensions to our most relevant brands.  For example, during 2021 we introduced the following: Royal Guard Dark Malt, Cristal La Roja, Escudo por Cerros de Chena.  Additionally, we added Edelweiss beer brand to our portfolio.
 
In October 2001, Cervecería Austral entered into a license agreement with our subsidiary Cervecería CCU to produce and sell our brand Cristal, as well as any other brand owned by or licensed to Cervecería CCU in the southern part of Chile. The agreement also permits us to commercialize and distribute the Austral brand in Chile, with the exception of the Magallanes Region, where selling and distribution is carried out by Comercial Patagona Ltda., a subsidiary of Cervecería Austral. This agreement is currently renewable for periods of two years, subject to compliance with the contract conditions.
 
On April 28, 2003, through our subsidiaries Cervecería CCU and CCU Argentina, we and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed license and technical assistance agreements providing us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. On October 12, 2011, we signed with Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. the Amended and Restated versions of the Trademark License Agreements, which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina, in force as of January 1, 2011.

Our soft drinks include proprietary brands, in addition to brands produced under license from PepsiCo, Inc., Schweppes Holdings Ltd. and Promarca S.A., which are produced in four production plants (two located in Santiago, one in Temuco and one in Antofagasta).
 
Our subsidiary Aguas CCU produces, commercializes and distributes mineral, purified and flavored waters. We have two proprietary mineral water brands, Cachantun and Porvenir, which are bottled at their sources, located in Coinco (O’Higgins Region) and Casablanca (Valparaíso Region).  We also commercialize Nestlé Pura Vida, a brand of purified water, Mas and Mas Woman, which are brands of flavored waters. Aguas CCU also distributes the imported brand Perrier. Manantial, a subsidiary of Aguas CCU, also produces, commercializes and distributes purified water with our Manantial brand, primarily in the home and office delivery (HOD) format.
 
In 1994, our subsidiary ECUSA and Cadbury Schweppes plc (“Cadbury Schweppes”), the latter through its subsidiaries CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd., entered into license agreements for all Cadbury Schweppes products. On December 11, 1998, The Coca-Cola Company announced an agreement with Cadbury Schweppes to acquire certain of the latter's international beverage brands, including those licensed to ECUSA, and in August 1999 the agreement was reported to have been consummated. In September 2000, after more than a year’s litigation, both in Chile (suits at civil courts and antitrust authorities) and England (arbitration under ICC rules), ECUSA and The Coca-Cola Company reached an agreement superseding ECUSA’s previous license contracts with CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd. The new agreement, referred to as the “Bottler Contract”, was executed between ECUSA and Schweppes Holdings Ltd., concerning the Crush and Canada Dry brands, and was approved by the Chilean antitrust commission, thus putting an end to the proceeding regarding the Cadbury Schweppes brands issue and dismissing all complaints filed in consideration of the agreement. On January 15, 2009, the parties executed an amendment to the Bottler Contract which, among others, extended its duration until December 31, 2018, renewable for consecutive five-year periods, subject to compliance with the contract conditions. The contract was renewed until December 31, 2023.

In August 2002, we began importing, selling and distributing Gatorade, a sport drink. In March 2006, a new franchise commitment letter and exclusive bottling appointment ("Gatorade Contracts") were executed between ECUSA and Stokely Van-Camp, Inc., a subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc., authorizing ECUSA to bottle, sell and distribute Gatorade products in Chile, for an initial term ending on March 31, 2010, automatically renewable for successive two or three-year periods if certain conditions set forth in the Gatorade Contracts were met. In October 2013, ECUSA and Stokely Van-Camp, Inc. entered into a Second Amendment to the Gatorade Contracts under which such Contracts were renewed for a period ending on December 2018, subject to automatic renewal for an additional period equal to the term of the Shareholders Agreement of Bebidas CCU-PepsiCo SpA, that is, 2043, upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Since said conditions were satisfied, the Gatorade Contracts were automatically renewed in December 2018 as stated above. Since October 2006, we have been producing Gatorade locally.
 
In November 2007, ECUSA signed an exclusive bottling agreement with Pepsi Lipton International Limited, authorizing ECUSA to produce, sell and distribute ready to drink tea beverages in Chile. This agreement was set to expire on March 31, 2020, however, on October 30, 2019, the parties extended its term until December 31, 2030.
 
The license agreement for juice products under the brand Watt’s, which granted us exclusive production rights, was first signed in June 1987 and originally had a 33-year term. In February 1999, a new license agreement was signed allowing us to produce new flavors and bottle Watt’s juices in non-returnable packaging (wide mouth glass and plastic bottles). A new license agreement between us and Watt’s S.A. was signed in July 2004. This new contract granted us a ten-year license renewable automatically for three consecutive periods of three years if the conditions set forth in the contract were fulfilled at the date of renewal. In December 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with Watt’s S.A., under which, as of January 30, 2007, we participate in equal parts in Promarca S.A. This company owns the brands “Watt’s”, “Watt’s Ice Frut”, “Yogu Yogu”, “Shake a Shake” and “Frugo”, among others in Chile. Promarca S.A. granted both of its shareholders (New Ecusa S.A., a former subsidiary of
ECUSA, which as of the date of this annual report has been merged into ECUSA, and Watt’s Dos S.A., a subsidiary of Watt’s),
for an indefinite period, the exclusive licenses for the production and sale of the different product categories.
 
Since December 2007, through our subsidiary Aguas CCU, we produce and sell the Nestlé Pure Life brand in Chile under a license contract of the same date, with an initial term of five years, renewable for successive periods of five years if certain conditions are met. Since 2012, under the Manantial brand we carry out the business of home and office delivery of purified water in bottles with the use of dispensers (HOD).
 
In October 2013, CCU together with its subsidiary ECUSA executed a series of contracts and agreements with PepsiCo Inc. and affiliates, which allowed them to expand their current relationship in the non-alcoholic beverages segment with specific focus on the carbonated soft drinks, as well as extending long-term relationship duration. Pursuant to these agreements, which considered the creation of an affiliate, Bebidas CCU-PepsiCo SpA, the licenses to produce, sell and distribute in Chile Pepsi, 7up and Mirinda (Pepsi brands) and Bilz, Pap, Kem and Nobis (CCU brands) were granted to ECUSA until December 2043.
 
In line with our multicategory business strategy, in November 2015 we entered the ready-to-mix category through a joint operation agreement with Carozzi, for the production, commercialization, and distribution of instant powder drinks under the brands Sprim, Fructus, Vivo and Caricia. In December 2015 we started to distribute Red Bull in Chile. Aligned with our innovation process in non-alcoholic beverages during 2017, we continue to strengthen Pepsi Zero, launched late 2016 in the Chilean market, by increasing consumer interest through new packaging formats. From time to time, we and our partners introduce innovations and brand extensions to our most relevant brands. For example, in 2021, we and our partners introduced Kem Mix Tropical, Kem Xtreme Urban Blueberry, Pop Candy Flipe, Pop Candy Ambrosito, Watts Mango Light and Red Bull Red Sandia.

As of May of 2018, CCU Argentina’s brand portfolio also includes Isenbeck, Diosa, Iguana, Norte and Báltica, as well as the exclusive license agreements for the production and commercialization of Grolsch and Warsteiner, and no longer includes the license agreement for Budweiser. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – A. History

of the Company.”  CCU Argentina imports the Kunstmann and Blue Moon beer brands. Furthermore, CCU Argentina exports beer to several countries, mainly under the brands Schneider, Imperial and Heineken.
 
On April 28, 2003, CCU Argentina and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V., signed license and technical assistance agreements that provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. On October 12, 2011, we and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed the Amended and Restated versions of the Trademark License Agreements which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Argentina, in force as of January 1, 2011. These agreements have an initial term of ten years, and shall automatically be renewed each year (January 1st) for a new period of ten years, unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements will be in force until the last renewal period expires. Heineken beer is the second-largest brand in terms of volume in the premium segment in Argentina.
 
On November 28, 2012, CICSA and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. entered into a Trademark License Agreement which granted us the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Paraguay. This agreement had an initial term of ten years, automatically renewable for a period of five years unless either party gave notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements would be in force until the last renewal period expired.

In January 2018, Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. entered into a Distribution Agreement which provides us with the exclusive rights to sell and distribute Sol beer in Paraguay, effective as of December 1, 2017. This agreement has an initial term of five years and will automatically be renewed for subsequent three-year periods unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements will be in force until expiration of the first period or the respective subsequent period. On April 20, 2018, Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed a Trademark License Agreement and a Distribution Agreement which provides us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Paraguay. This agreement has an initial term of five years from May 1, 2018 and will be automatically renewed for subsequent three-year periods unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew. Therefore, and as agreed on June 11, 2018, the Trademark License Agreement entered on November 28, 2012, by CICSA and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. was terminated with retroactive effects as of April 30, 2018 and, in its place, Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. and CICSA entered into a supply agreement which provides CICSA the non-exclusive right to sell and supply Heineken Lager in the Paraguayan market to Bebidas del Paraguay S.A., for a period of five years beginning on April 30, 2018. On November 1, 2019, Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. and Amstel Brouwerijen B.V. signed the Distribution Agreement which provides us with the exclusive rights to distribute Amstel beer in Paraguay, effective as of October 1, 2019. This agreement has an initial term of five years, and will be automatically renew for subsequent three-year periods, unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreement will be in force until expiration of the first period or the respective subsequent period.
 
In 2013, we started exporting Heineken to Milotur, our subsidiary in Uruguay, and in 2015 to BBO, our then associated company in Bolivia. On June 4, 2013, CICSA, Milotur and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed a trademark license agreement that provides us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Uruguay, in force as of May 1, 2013. This agreement has an initial term of ten years, and automatically renews on January 1 of each year for a new period of ten years, unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements will be in force until the last renewal period expires. In Uruguay, we participate in the mineral water business with the Nativa and Nix brands, in soft drinks with the Nix brand, and in Watt's branded juices, isotonic drinks with the Fullsport brand and energy drinks with Thor brand. In addition, we import Heineken, Schneider, Imperial, Miller, Amstel, Escudo Silver and Kunstmann beer.
 
On July 15, 2015, CICSA, BBO and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed the Ancillary Trademark License Agreement which provides us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Bolivia, in force as of January 1, 2015. This agreement has an initial term of ten years and will be automatically renewed for five-year periods unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreement will be in force until the last renewal period expires.
 
In September 2014, CICSA began with the exclusive distribution in Argentina of imported Sol beer. The Sol beer brand is owned by Heineken. This licensing agreement has an initial term of ten years in Argentina, automatically renewable on the same terms (rolling contract), each year for a period of ten years, unless notice of non-renewal is given.
 
In October 2006, we signed a long-term contract with ICSA to brew, bottle and package beer in the former Ambev plant in Luján, near Buenos Aires, that was purchased by ICSA. In January 2007, we began brewing our local brands in this plant, obtaining enough production capacity to ensure future growth. In April 2008, we acquired ICSA, including the Luján plant and the brands Imperial, Bieckert and Palermo. ICSA also had a brewing contract agreement with Ambev and, under such contract CICSA brewed beer for Ambev during the peak demand season of 2008-2009.
 
The license agreement between CCU Argentina and Anheuser-Busch LLC (See “Item 4: Information on the Company – A. History and Development of the Company”), which provided CCU Argentina with the exclusive right to produce, package, commercialize, sell and distribute Budweiser beer in Argentina and Uruguay, had an initial term of 20 years commencing in December 1995, which in March 2008 was extended to December 2025 (CCU and ABI agreed to the early termination of the license agreement for Uruguay in 2014). In 2010, the license agreement was modified due to regulatory reasons under the context of the merger between Anheuser-Busch LLC and InBev. As a result, certain contractual restrictions were released, and rights granted to Anheuser-Busch LLC waived, both in favor of CCU Argentina. On September 6, 2017, CCU and CCU Argentina reached an agreement with ABI for the early termination of the Budweiser license in Argentina, in exchange for a portfolio of brands (Isenbeck and Diosa, which were at the time owned by SAB Miller; and Báltica, Iguana, and Norte, which were owned by ABI), representing similar volumes to Budweiser in Argentina, plus a series of payments over a three-year period. On April 27, 2018, after receiving approval from Argentina’s antitrust regulators, CCU Argentina and ABI were legally obliged to close the transaction. As a result, on May 2, 2018, CCU Argentina and ABI (CCU Argentina and ABI, together identified as the “Parties”) executed a transaction (the “Transaction”), which included, among other matters: (i) the early termination of the Budweiser brand license agreement in Argentina, between the Parties, and (ii) the transfer to CCU Argentina of the ownership of the Isenbeck, Diosa, Norte, Iguana and Báltica brands, as well as the transfer of the licenses for Argentina of the international brands Warsteiner and Grolsch. In order to achieve an orderly transition of the aforementioned brands, the Transaction provides that ABI will carry out the production and distribution of Iguana, Norte and Báltica on behalf of CCU Argentina, for a period of up to three years.

In August 2016 CICSA signed a license and distribution agreement with Coors Brewing Company to manufacture, package, commercialize and distribute the Miller brands in Argentina. We started to commercialize and distribute Miller Genuine Draft in April 2017, and to produce MGD in our own facilities as of May 2017.


CCU Argentina participates in the cider business, with the leading Real brand and other brands such as La Victoria and 1888. We also participate in the liquor business, under the El Abuelo brand, in addition to importing other liquors from Chile and distributing the wine brands Eugenio Bustos and La Celia. Since June 2019, we have added the Colon and Graffigna brands belonging to the Finca La Celia S.A. winery to our wine portfolio (Argentine subsidiary of Chilean subsidiary VSPT).
 
In 2012, the Company began in Argentina the migration process to its new proprietary returnable bottle in place of the generic container currently in the industry. The decision to implement this important project was based primarily on the change introduced by the main market player, who in 2011 started to replace the use of generic packaging by a proprietary container for one-liter returnable products. The proprietary container’s use results in significant important changes in logistics processes, including the adaptation of the building structure of plants, the acquisition of specific equipment, the adaptation of production lines and agreements with glass bottles and crates suppliers in order to achieve the timely supply of the new bottling process required inputs. The introduction of these proprietary returnable bottles resulted in significant impacts on the industry’s value chain, with higher operating costs associated with the operation of recovery and classification of packaging that significantly affect the level of profitability and industry’s return on capital employed (ROCE). This transition process required significant investments between 2012 and 2017 mainly in packaging, equipment and infrastructure. To partially finance these investments, bank loans were obtained in local currency with long repayment periods, mitigating the risk of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations thereby minimizing the fluctuation risk. Due to the Transaction, CCU Argentina and ABI, among other matters, agreed that CICSA and Quilmes, may each use, without any payment or restriction whatsoever, the one litter returnable amber bottles, denominated as “proprietary”, of the other company (hereinafter the “Free Use of Bottles”). For this purpose, the parties agreed that the term for the Free Use of Bottles will be three years, with the option to renew the term for three additional years in case any of the parties thereto has fulfilled certain investments in bottle requirements. At the end of the three- or six-year term, each party will be permanently authorized to use the other party’s proprietary bottles for up to a 10% of its total bottled product (current authorization allows such use up to 0.5%). This agreement is favorable to CCU Argentina, as it will allow the company to obtain operational efficiencies.
 
In 2011, the Company started to export Schneider beer to Paraguay through Bebidas del Paraguay S.A., and in 2013 to Uruguay through Milotur. In Paraguay we participate in the beer and non-alcoholic categories since our entrance to the market in 2013, with the introduction of new brands and the acquisition of the craft beer brand Sajonia.
 
In 2018, the Company increased its stake from 34% to 51% in BBO. In Bolivia, CCU participates in the non-alcoholic beverages and beer business, with two plants located in the cities of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Warnes. In non-alcoholic beverages, it participates in with the brand Natur-all, in carbonated soft drinks with the brands Mendocina, Sinalco and Malta Real. The latter is a soft drink with sugar based on malt, but without alcohol. BBO, with Mendocina and De La Sierra, also participates in the water category. In beers, it has the brands Real, Capital, Cordillera and Uyuni. In addition, sell and distribute Heineken and Kunstmann, imported beer brands.

Export Market
.
According to industry sources, exports of Chilean wine increased from approximately 43 million liters in 1990 to 867 million liters in 2021, at a compounded annual growth rate of 10%. During 2020 and 2021, Chilean wine exports reached 849 million liters and 867 million liters, respectively. We believe that Chilean wine exports have grown steadily due to their comparatively low prices and positive international image, as well as due to external factors, such as low wine production in the Northern Hemisphere in recent years.
 
VSPT exported from Chile 64 million liters of wine in 2019, 64 million liters of wine in 2020 and 62 million liters of wine in 2021. During 2021, VSPT exported wine to more than 80 countries worldwide. Exports accounted for net sales of CLP 118,719 million, CLP 127,160 million and CLP 128,821 million, in the last three years, respectively. In 2021, VSPT’s primary export markets included the United States, Japan, Brazil, Finland, Paraguay, the Netherlands and China.
 
Most exported wine is sold in glass bottles, except for a certain quantity of unbranded wine that is occasionally sold in bulk, as well as some wine that is sold in bag-in-box containers. The following chart shows our packaging mix for export Chilean wine volume in the last three years:

The sugar and fruit pulps that we use are from local and international origin suppliers. We obtain our supply of malt mainly through long term contracts with malt suppliers from several countries. Rice is sourced mainly from international suppliers.
 
Water is essential in our production. We obtain all of our water from wells located at our plants and/or from public utilities. The water is treated at facilities located at our plants to remove impurities and to adjust the characteristics of the water before it is used in the production process.
 
We own two mineral water sources in Chile from which the Cachantun and Porvenir brand mineral water products are obtained. These water springs are located in two areas near Santiago: Coinco and Casablanca, respectively. All of our mineral water products are bottled at their respective sources and distributed throughout the country. Purified water is produced with water pumped from our wells and treated in the plant.
 
The most relevant packaging materials are glass bottles, aluminum cans, PET bottles, caps, films, labels, corrugated cases and folding cartons. Long term contracts are signed with the main strategic suppliers.
 
Glass bottles used in our packaging are purchased from the main local glass suppliers. During 2021, all of our aluminum cans were purchased from global suppliers. We buy our labels, films and corrugated cartons mainly from local suppliers.
The majority of our polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) resins are imported from Asia. Bottles and injected preforms are produced by our subsidiary Plasco.
 
We maintain testing facilities at each of our plants and factories where raw materials are analyzed according to our standards. Additionally, the samples are analyzed at various stages of production to ensure product quality. For example, samples of Heineken beer are periodically sent to the Heineken facilities in The Netherlands to verify the quality of the product. Samples of Nestlé Pure Life water are sent to Perrier in France, and samples of Pepsi and Schweppes are analyzed by PepsiCo either at our plants or at the point of sale.  See “Item 4: Information on the Company – A. History and Development of the Company.”
 
Prices of our main raw materials used in the production are tied to the USD and price of commodities, and have fluctuated in Chilean and Argentine peso terms due to general commodity price fluctuations in the international markets as well as to the variation of the Chilean and Argentine peso against the USD. In addition, from time to time, prices of grapes and wine have varied depending on fluctuations in supply and demand factors.
 
Standard and customary commercial terms and conditions are widely used in all our contracts and supply agreements. Strategic alliances and supplier diversification allow us to reduce dependency on a single supplier of raw and packaging materials.
 
VSPT’s main raw and packaging materials are purchased and harvested grapes, purchased wine, glass bottles, carton containers, corks and cardboard boxes. VSPT obtained approximately 42.5% of the grapes used for export wines from our own vineyards during 2021. Of the wine sold in the domestic market, approximately 12.6% are grapes from our vineyards. In 2021, approximately 47.0% of the wine used in domestic and export sales was purchased from ten local producers: Vinícola Patacón SpA, Corretajes Torres y Cía.
Ltda., Agrícola y Comercial Bodegas de las Mercedes Ltda., Anatolio Segundo Albornoz Vargas, Viña Siegel S.A., Agrícola Viña Los Lirios Ltda., Coop.
Agrícola Pisquera Elqui Ltda., Agrícola Pichimapu Ltda., Sociedad Agroindustrial Rio Elqui Ltda., and Vitivinicola Invina Ltda.
VSPT has various alternative sources of supply, which can be used when they are favorable. VSPT’s glass bottles are mainly purchased from Cristalerías Chile and Verallia; however, when prices have been favorable, VSPT has purchased glass bottles from other local and international suppliers. Carton containers are purchased from SIG Combibloc Inc. and are assembled in VSPT’s own automated packing lines.

Sales, Transportation and Distribution
 
 
Sales, Transportation and Distribution:
Chile Operating segment
 
We distribute all of our products in Chile directly to retail, supermarket and wholesale customers. This system enables us to maintain a high frequency of contact with our customers, obtain more timely and accurate marketing-related information, and maintain good working relationships with our retail customers.
 
After production, bottling and packaging, our beverages are either stored at one of our production facilities or transported to a network of 29 owned or leased distribution centers that are located throughout Chile. Products are generally shipped from the region of production to the closest distribution center, allowing us to minimize our transportation and delivery costs.
 
Product distribution is carried out by Transportes CCU throughout the country or by Comercial Patagona in the Magallanes Region.
 
Beginning in October 2001, all of the distribution centers and transportation companies used to store and deliver all of our products are managed on a consolidated basis by Transportes CCU.
 
Comercial Patagona is a subsidiary of Cervecería Austral and, as of July 2002, is responsible for the sale and distribution of our products and those of Cervecería Austral in the Magallanes Region.
Comercial Patagona reaches 1,118 points of sale.
 
We distribute our products throughout Chile to:
·

off-premise retail: small and medium-sized retail outlets, which in turn sell our products to consumers for take-out consumption;

·

on premise retail: retail establishments such as restaurants, hotels and bars for on-premises consumption;

·

wholesalers; and

·
 
supermarket chains
 
In the last three years, the percentage mix of the above distribution channels for our products in Chile was as follows:

In October 2005, we launched Comercial CCU, a subsidiary responsible for a single sales force dedicated to selling our beverages, in order to capture synergies and focus on sales execution. Originally, this plan was piloted in rural areas and small cities in southern Chile. As of 2008, the territory covered by Comercial CCU expanded to include the north of Chile from Arica to Copiapó/Vallenar, and the south, from Curicó to Coyhaique except for the city of Concepción.
 
As of August 2016, following the restructuring in Chile that encompassed combining the route-to-market of the beer and non-alcoholic categories in the whole country, Comercial CCU started to cover the beer and non-alcoholic category in the Metropolitan Region including the capital Santiago, and several other large cities such as Viña del Mar, Rancagua, La Serena, and Concepción.

Together with Comercial CCU. In all, we have a total sales force of 975 people, reaching 113,713 points of sale, related to the Chile Operating segment.
 
In 2019, as previously mentioned, we broadened our remote sales platforms through the launch of a modern e-commerce website in Chile, "La Barra", reaching 91,234 households with our on-line portfolio in 2021 (
www.labarra.cl
). None of our customers accounted for more than 2.5% of our total sales by volume, with the exception of four large supermarket chains that represented in the aggregate 25.5% of our total sales by volume. None of these supermarket chains individually represented more than 10.0% of our total sales by volume.
 
Our customers make payment for our products either in cash or checks at the time of delivery or in accordance with one of several types of credit arrangements that we offer. Sales through credit arrangements accounted for 41.0%, 35.6% and 36.0% of our sales in Chile during 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Losses on credit sales in Chile have not been significant.
 
Sales, Transportation and Distribution:
International Business Operating segment
 
In Argentina, after production, bottling and packaging, our beer is either stored at the production facilities or transported to a network of six distribution centers leased or owned by us.
 
As of December 31, 2021, we have the capacity to reach 211,980 points of sale in Argentina with our direct and indirect sales force. Approximately 70% of our beer in Argentina is sold and/or distributed through third-party sales and distribution chains, including two independent Coca-Cola bottlers who distribute our products mainly in the north and south of the country, representing in the aggregate 19% of our total sales by volume. We have a direct sales force which sells our beer products to customers within San Juan, Mendoza, Córdoba, Santa Fé, Rosario, and Buenos Aires City, in addition to 75 regional and national supermarket chains throughout the country. None of our retail customers individually accounted for more than 4% of our total beer sales by volume.
 
Looking for greater operational efficiency, during 2016 and 2017 we modified our route to market, moving volume from direct sales to wholesalers within the outer Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area and Salta.
 
In Argentina, though most beer is sold through wholesalers and distributors, we also sell our products to retailers and supermarket chains. In the last three years, the percentage mix of the above distribution channels for our beer products in Argentina was as follows:

Competition
 
Competition:
Chile Operating segment
 
The beer market in Chile is characterized by a wide range of local and international beer brands. Our largest competitor in the beer business is Cervecería Chile S.A. (a subsidiary of ABI). Cervecería Chile S.A.’s primary beer brands are Becker, Corona, Báltica, Stella Artois and Budweiser. Following the execution of a distribution agreement in November 2020, Cervecería Chile S.A. distributes its products through the distribution network of Embotelladora Andina S.A. (“Embotelladora Andina”) and Coca-Cola Embonor S.A. (“Embonor”). Both companies are the main licensees and bottlers of The Coca-Cola Company's products in Chile. Prior to November 2020, Cervecería Chile distributed its products through direct distribution and wholesalers.
 
Another relevant player in the beer market in Chile is Viña Concha y Toro S.A. (“Concha y Toro”), which imports Miller Genuine Draft and Estrella Damm since 2018. Concha y Toro also owns a majority stake in Southern Brewing Company, the brewer of Kross beer. Finally, in the beer market, we also compete with a large number of craft breweries, and distributors/importers of international beers.
 
In the non-alcoholic categories, our main competitors are companies that produce, bottle and distribute non-alcoholic beverages in Chile under licenses from The Coca-Cola Company and its affiliates. Thus, the two main players in the carbonated soft drinks beverage business in Chile are Embotelladora Andina and Embonor. Our main competitor in the mineral, purified and flavored water business is Vital Aguas S.A., a subsidiary of Embotelladora Andina and Embonor. Our principal competitor in the juice, iced tea and sport drinks business is also Vital Jugos S.A., a subsidiary of Embotelladora Andina and Embonor.
 
The spirits market in Chile is characterized by a wide range of locally produced and imported products. Our largest competitor is Cooperativa Agrícola Pisquera Elqui Limitada (“Capel”), which produces pisco locally and imports a number of spirits. As of mid-2019, Capel’s products began to be distributed by Embotelladora Andina and Embonor.  We also compete against Diageo Chile Limitada, which imports premium spirits such as Johnnie Walker whiskey and Smirnoff vodka, among others. As of mid-2018, Diageo’s products started to be distributed by Embotelladora Andina and Embonor. Finally, we also compete against several other smaller-size importers of international brands, as well as local producers of pisco and other spirits.

Competition:
International Business Operating segment
 
One of the most relevant markets in the International Business Operating segment is the beer market in Argentina, where we compete with Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes S.A.I.C.A. y G. (“Quilmes”, a subsidiary of ABI), leader in the beer market in that country. Quilmes' main brands are Brahma, Quilmes, Corona, Stella Artois, Budweiser and Patagonia.
 
Quilmes' large size allows it to improve economies of scale in the production and distribution of beer in Argentina. Quilmes' current operation is the result of a series of acquisitions and mergers of brands and assets of the main breweries in the world and the region.
 
In addition, in the other countries that encompass the International Business Operating segment, these are Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia, where we have multi-category operations, we compete mainly in the beer category with ABI subsidiaries, and in the non-alcoholic beverages’ categories, we compete mainly with companies that produce, bottle and distribute products of The Coca Cola Company and PepsiCo, Inc.
 
The following table shows estimates of the market share of our International Business Operating segment including: beer in Argentina; beer, carbonated soft drinks, juices and nectars and mineral water in Uruguay; beer, carbonated soft drinks, juices and nectars and mineral water in Paraguay; and beer, malt and carbonated soft drinks in Bolivia:

Competition:
Wine Operating segment
 
The wine industry, both in the domestic and export markets, is characterized by having a large number of participants with different business scales. Thus, VSPT's biggest competitors in the Chilean domestic market are Viña Concha y Toro and Viña Santa Rita S.A. ("Santa Rita"). Following the execution of a distribution agreement in November 2021, Santa Rita distributes its products through the distribution network of Embotelladora Andina and Embonor. Other relevant wineries in the Chilean domestic market are Bodegas y Viñedos Santa Carolina S.A., Viña Undurraga S.A., Viña Cousiño Macul S.A.
and viña Montes.
At an international level, VSPT competes with Chilean producers and with wine producers around the world.

Government Regulation
 
Government Regulation in Chile
 
We are subject to the full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile. These regulations include labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection, environmental laws, securities laws, and antitrust laws. In addition, regulations exist to ensure healthy and safe conditions in facilities for the production, bottling, and distribution of beverages. For a more detailed discussion of environmental laws, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – E. Environmental Matters.”
 
Regulations specifically concerning the production and distribution of “alcoholic beverages” are contained in Chilean Law N° 18,455 and its Ordinance, which set the standards for human consumption of such beverages, by minutely describing the different types of alcohol; the minimum requirements that must be met by each class of beverage; raw materials and additives that may be used in their manufacture; their packaging and the information that must be provided by their labels; and the procedure for their importation, among others.
 
Additional regulations concerning wine origin denominations are contained in Decree N° 464 of the Ministry of Agriculture, published on May 26, 1995, as amended, which also laid out the wine-growing regions and set rules regarding grape varieties, vintage year, labeling and selling requirements; and  Law N° 20,089, which creates the National Certification System for Organic Agricultural Products, which establishes the conditions for the commercialization of products under the denomination of origin of organic or its equivalents. Additionally, Pisco origin denominations, also applicable to us, are regulated in Decree N° 521 published on May 27, 2000 of the Ministry of Agriculture and likewise contains provisions relating to pisco producing regions, raw material standards, manufacturing procedures, packaging and labeling.
 
The large-scale production of alcoholic beverages does not need any licenses or permits other than those required for the general run of commercial and industrial enterprises engaged in the manufacture of consumer commodities.
 
According to Law N° 19,925 published in 2004, which amended and restated the Act on Sale and Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages (former Law N° 17,105), all establishments dealing in alcoholic beverages, whether wholesale or retail, require a special municipal license, the cost of which is fixed by the law and varies according to the nature of the outlet or point of sale (i.e. liquor store, tavern, restaurant, hotel, etc.). We are in possession of all licenses necessary for our wholesale operations.
 
Law N° 19,925 also set opening and closing hours; limited geographical areas for the sale of alcohol; reduced the maximum number of licenses to be granted by zones and population; increased criminal liability for selling alcohol to persons under eighteen years of age; and tightened the restrictions, imposing prison sentences and higher fines, among others, for violations formerly deemed lighter. One of its most important innovations was to forbid the sale of alcohol to minors at all outlets, and not just for on-premises drinking (the only exception retained is the case of children who are served meals when accompanied by their parents).
 
Alcoholic beverages are also subject to the provisions of Law N° 21,363 published on August 6, 2021, which established restrictions and warnings about the consumption of alcohol on labeling and promotional materials (which will become effective 1 year after the regulatory decree of the law is published); the obligation to inform the amount of calories on labels (which will become effective on August 6, 2023); time restriction for TV and radio advertising and prohibited promotional activities or advertising of alcohol in relation to sport activities (which will become effective 36 months after the complementary regulation of the Law is published). This law and regulations could affect our alcoholic beverages portfolio and certain marketing activities.

The regulatory agency for alcoholic beverages is the Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (“SAG”).
 
The production, bottling and marketing of non-alcoholic beverages is subject to applicable sanitary legislation and regulations, particularly the Sanitary Code and the Food Ordinance (the
Reglamento Sanitario de los Alimentos
).
 
58
 
Non-alcoholic beverages are also subject to the provisions of Law N° 20,606 on Nutritional Composition of Food and Advertising enacted in 2012, Decree N° 13 of the Ministry of Health which was published on June 26, 2015, amending the Food Ordinance referred to above, Law N° 20,869 on Food Advertising, published on November 13, 2015, and Supreme Decree N° 1 of the of Ministry of Health published on December 11, 2017 and effective as of June 11, 2018, which set certain restrictions on and requirements for the advertising, labeling and marketing of foods that are qualified as "high” in calories or any of the defined critical nutrients, such as sodium, sugar and saturated fats.
 
Law N° 19,937, published in 2004, and fully operative by February 2006, established the structure and powers for the current Sanitary Authority. The Ministry of Health’s Regional Offices, which constitute the Sanitary Authorities, inspect plants on a regular basis, taking samples for analysis, directing the adoption of new safety procedures and applying fines and other penalties for infringement of regulations.
 
The production and distribution of mineral water is also subject to special regulation, Supreme Decree N° 106 of Ministry of Health published on June 14, 1997, as amended, as well as the Food Ordinance referred to above. Mineral water may only be bottled directly from sources, which have been designated for such purpose by a Supreme Decree signed by the President of Chile. The competent Sanitary Authority provides a certification of the data necessary to achieve such a designation. All of our facilities have received the required designation.
 
Independently of the products manufactured or services provided in each plant or facility, the premises are also regularly inspected by the Sanitary Authorities, regarding sanitary and environmental conditions, labor safety, and related matters.
 
There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Chile with respect to any regulatory matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations with respect to our businesses in Chile.
 
Government Regulation in Argentina
 
We are subject to the full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Argentina, including social security laws, public health, consumer protection and environmental laws, securities laws and antitrust laws. As closely held corporations, our subsidiaries in Argentina are principally governed by Law N° 19,550 on commercial companies included in the Civil and Commercial Code.
 
National Law N° 18,284 (the Argentine Food Code, or the “Food Code”) regulates the manufacturing, packaging, import, export and marketing of food and beverages. The Food Code provides specific standards with which manufacturing plants must comply and regulates the production of food and beverages mentioned in the Food Code. The Food Code also specifies the different methods in which beer may be bottled as well as the information to be provided on labels. National Law N° 24,788, enacted in March 1997, and its Regulatory Decree N° 688/2009, regulates the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages and its advertising and establishes the national minimum age requirements for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. Under this Law, the sale of alcoholic beverages is not permitted to persons under 18 years of age, and the health authorities of each province undertake the enforcement of the Food Code. In the Federal Capital and many provinces of Argentina, local law restricts the sale of alcoholic beverages, particularly between the hours of 11 p.m. and 8 a.m., and establishes harsh penalties for infringement. Additionally, Law N° 5,708 also establishes further advertising requirements for the Federal Capital.
 
There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Argentina with respect to any regulatory matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations with respect to our business in Argentina.

Organizational Structure
 
Ownership Structure as of March 31, 2022
 


We are controlled by IRSA, which as of December 31, 2020 owned directly and indirectly 60.00% of the shares of our common stock. On March 1, 2021 IRSA announced through Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC, its intention to increase, subject to market and other conditions, its participation in CCU an additional 6%, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. As of March 31, 2022 and as of the date of this annual report, IRSA directly and indirectly owned 65.87% of our shares of common stock.
 
IRSA, since 1986, was a joint venture between Quiñenco and the Schörghuber Group through its wholly owned subsidiary FHI of the Netherlands. In April 2003, the Schörghuber Group sold FHI to Heineken Americas B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V. FHI and Heineken International B.V. formed Heineken Chile Ltda., through which 50% of IRSA shares are held. On December 30, 2003, FHI merged into Heineken Americas B.V. Currently, Quiñenco and Heineken Chile Ltda., a Chilean limited corporation controlled by Heineken Americas B.V., are the only shareholders of IRSA, each with a 50% equity interest.
 
Quiñenco is the holding company of one of the largest and most diversified business conglomerates in Chile, with investments in various sectors of the Chilean economy. Apart from CCU, Quiñenco’s principal holdings include Banco de Chile (a leading financial institution in Chile), Invexans S.A. (the largest shareholder of the French cable producer Nexans S.A.), Empresa Nacional de Energía Enex S.A. (the second-largest fuel distributor in Chile), Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores S.A. (main shareholder of Hapag-Lloyd A.G., one of the largest container ship liners worldwide), and Sociedad Matriz SAAM S.A. (one of the main port operators in South America and the leading tugboat operator in America).

Property, Plants and Equipment

Set forth below is information concerning our production facilities as of December 31, 2021, all of which are owned and operated by us or our subsidiaries.

For the Chile Operating segment, we had an aggregated Supply Capacity per month of 442.2
million liters, including Manantial, with a Utilized Capacity during peak month of 70.8%. Utilized Capacity During Peak Month is equal to production output as a percentage of Nominal Installed Production Capacity during our peak month for each respective plant. The annual Nominal Installed Capacity for this segment is 48.6 million hectoliters. Our Chile Operating segment total facilities size is 911,765 square meters (total built area including warehousing logistics activities related to the production process).  Supply Capacity per month is defined as nominal installed production capacity for the current product/packaging mix during 25 days per month and 3 shifts per day. The calculated slack (spare) capacity does not necessarily indicate real slack capacity. The real production capacity is less than the nominal installed production capacity as adjustments are required for real machinery performance, packaging mix, availability of raw materials and bottles, seasonality within the months and other factors. As a result, we believe that the peak monthly capacity utilization rates shown above understate real capacity utilization and that slack capacity is overstated.

Environmental Matters
 
Our operations are subject to both national and local regulations in Chile in relation to environmental protection. Regarding human health, the fundamental law in Chile is the Health Code, which establishes minimum health standards and regulates air and water quality, as well as sanitary landfills. The local Sanitary Authority is the governmental entity in charge of the enforcement of these rules and has the authority to impose fines.
 
The environmental framework is governed by Law N° 19,300, enacted in 1994, as amended, which includes not only environmental protection rules but also rules concerning the preservation of natural resources. Among other matters, it creates the environmental impact assessment system, which requires any project or major amendment of an industrial activity that may affect the environment to evaluate its possible environmental impact, in order to fulfill related regulations and to implement mitigation, compensation and restoration measures.
 
Law N° 19,300 also creates a mechanism that establishes sources emission limits and environmental quality standards developed and detailed by specific regulations. In this sense, there is a special regulation for wastewater discharges into sewage systems, and another regulation for wastewater discharges into superficial water bodies. We comply with this law and related regulations in all material respects.
 
On this topic, on June 1, 2016 Law N° 20,920 was enacted and established a framework for waste management and extended producer responsibility, and stimulation of recycling (“REP Law”), with the objective of lowering the generation of waste of priority products as determined by the bill and fostering recycling of the waste. On November 30, 2017, the Regulations on Procedures of the REP Law were published. During 2019, regulations were issued that established the collection, valorization and other associated obligations for tires, which were finally published in January 2021, and on March 16, 2021, the collection, valorization and other associated obligations for packaging materials were published.
 
Additionally, on August 13, 2021 Law N° 21,368 was published, which regulates single-use plastic products and plastic bottles, and strengthens returnability. The bill requires (i) that disposable plastic bottles that are commercialized must be manufactured containing a percentage of plastic that has been collected and recycled within the country in the proportions to be established by means of a regulation to be issued within 18 months as of the date of publication of the law; (ii) retail businesses (including e-commerce and delivery applications) to have returnable plastic bottles for beverages (excluding alcoholic and dairy products), effective for supermarkets 6 months as of the date of publication of the law and two years for the rest of the retailers; and (iii) prohibits establishments that sell food from using any kind of non-recyclable single-use containers, on premise and for deliveries, with effective dates depending on the establishment and the kind of plastic used.
 
On March 9, 2022, the Chilean Congress approved the
Ley Marco de Cambio Climático
, which is pending enactment and publication. This law aims to establish principles, governance, management instruments and adequate financing mechanisms, to allow for an economic development low in greenhouse gas emissions, reduce vulnerability, establish a carbon neutral goal by law, and increase resilience, all to guarantee the compliance of climate change international commitments made by Chile.
 
Over the years, we have implemented specific action plans in each of our operations through the Environmental Vision 2020, which seeks to achieve three objectives within the decade (2010 - 2020): a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”) per hectoliter by 20%, a reduction of water consumption per hectoliter by 33%, and reach 100% in the valorization of industrial solid waste.
 
In 2020, we have completed our plan to achieve the 2020 Environmental Vision that we set ourselves in 2010, with a 35.7% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per liter produced (the goal was 20%); a 48.6% decrease in water consumption per liter produced (the goal was 33%); and a 99.4% recovery of industrial solid waste (the goal was 100%). To support this last objective, we continue working on the Clean Production Agreement "Zero Waste to Landfill (" ZW2L "). Notwithstanding that several industrial facilities and Distribution Centers reached 100%, some did not achieve it and it has remained as a Pending issue. Regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we obtained the Gold Label for Energy Efficiency at Plasco and the Silver Label for Energy Efficiency at the Temuco Plant from the Ministry of Energy and the Energy Sustainability Agency, respectively. We were once again recognized in 2020, with the Quantification, Reduction and Excellence Labels of HuellaChile, a Program of the Ministry of the Environment, which recognizes efforts in the management of GHG emissions.
 
There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Chile with respect to any environmental matter. We believe that we are complying in all material respects with all applicable environmental regulations.
 
In Argentina, there are several statutes imposing obligations on companies regarding environmental matters at the municipal, provincial and federal levels in accordance with the General Environmental Protection Framework (Law N° 25,675), which establishes the Basic Environmental Protection Budgets, forming the fundamentals to develop all legislation and national environmental policy. In many cases, private entities operating public utilities such as water supply and sewage are in charge of controlling and enforcing those regulations. Examples of the latest regulations promulgated are: (i) the National Register of Chemical Substances (Decree N° 900/12), which aims to improve the traceability of chemical substances by means of strict control of all chemical substances that enter or leave the industrial plant, (ii) Decree N° 801/2015 regarding the global system of classification and labeling of chemical products, which based on Decree N° 3,359/2015 was implemented in April 2016 for pure substances, and in January 2017 for mixed substances, and (iii) Law N° 26,190 the National Regime for the Use and Promotion of Renewable Sources of Energy, which was modified by Law N° 27,191 and regulated by Decree N° 531/2016, with the objective to gradually implement the Use of Renewable Sources of Energy in the plants.
 
Another important federal environmental legislation in Argentina is the Hazardous Waste Act (Law N° 24,051), which is supplemented by additional provincial legislation, to enforce the provisions of the Hazardous Waste Act when specific federal tests indicate the need to do so. The application of the provisions of the Hazardous Waste Act depends upon the magnitude of the public health risk and whether those conditions exist in more than one province. Hazardous waste is defined broadly and includes any residue that may cause harm, directly or indirectly, to human beings that may pollute the soil, water, atmosphere or the environment in general. Generally, claims involving hazardous waste give rise to strict liability in the event of damage to third parties. In addition, each province in which we operate facilities has enacted environmental legislation with broad and generic goals, as well as water codes and related agencies to regulate the use of water and the disposal of effluents in the water.
 
Over the last several years CCU Argentina has implemented a complete program for the treatment of its industrial waste, which involves the separation, collection, transportation and reusing of the generated solid waste, in compliance with the Industrial Waste Act (Law N° 25,612), as well as wastewater treatment plants. The waste program is part of our constant effort to improve environmental conditions.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regulation of matters related to environmental protection is not as well developed in Argentina as in the United States and certain other countries. Accordingly, we anticipate that additional laws and regulations will be enacted over time with respect to environmental matters.
 
While we believe that we will continue to be in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, we cannot assure you that future legislative or regulatory developments will not impose restrictions on us, which could result in material adverse effects on our businesses, results of operations and our financial condition. There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Argentina with respect to any regulatory matter. We believe that we are complying in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations with respect to our business in Argentina.
 
We have also renewed our commitment to the environment, launching at the end of 2020, our Environmental Vision 2030, which establishes an even more challenging plan that includes three new areas of action. Thus, we commit ourselves by 2030 we aim to: (i) continue reducing greenhouse gas emissions per liter produced to achieve a 50% reduction, (ii) continue optimizing water consumption per liter produced, until achieving a 60% reduction, (iii) Value 100% of industrial solid waste, (iv) use 75% renewable electrical energy, (v) use 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging, and (vi) aspire to our containers are made on average with 50% recycled material. Since we began this commitment, we have, as of December 31, 2021, reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 37%, reduced water consumption by 48%, and achieved a 99% recovery rate for solid industrial waste. In addition, 28% of our energy comes from renewable sources; 99.97% of our containers and packaging are reusable, recyclable or compostable, and 30% of them are made from recycled material. A further important step will be our future R-PET plant in Chile, which will be able to process (recycle) PET resins from plastic containers packaging, which we expect to inaugurate in 2024 with a total investment of approximately USD 33 million. Our commitment to the planet is a priority, so we will continue to move towards a circular economy.

ITEM 4A: Unresolved Staff Comments
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
 
Overview
We face certain key challenges and risks associated with our business, as highlighted in Item 3.D. Risk Factors.
The analysis of our results is based on financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The three most recent years are considered in the discussion below.
 
A.
ADJUSTED OPERATING RESULT
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes included thereto in this annual report, and with “Item 11:
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, the latter related with the Company’s hedge policy
. In the following discussion, CLP amounts have been rounded to the nearest million pesos, unless otherwise indicated. Certain amounts (including percentage amounts) which appear herein have been rounded and may not sum to the totals shown.
 
We evaluate the performance of the segments based on several indicators, including Adjusted Operating Result, Adjusted Operating Result Before Depreciation and Amortization (ORBDA), ORBDA margin (% of ORBDA of total revenues for the Operating segment), volumes and sales revenues. Sales between segments are conducted using terms and conditions at current market rates.
 
Adjusted Operating Result and ORBDA are non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted Operating Result reflects a subtotal in Note 6 under Operating segment’s additional information (page F-47). A non-IFRS financial measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by either IFRS or U.S. GAAP. For management purposes, Adjusted Operating Result is defined as Net income before other gains (losses), net financial expenses, equity and income of joint ventures, foreign currency exchange differences, result as per adjustment units and income taxes (or alternatively, Adjusted Operating Result can be defined as “Income from operational activities” excluding “Other gains/(losses)”).  For management purposes, ORBDA is defined as Adjusted Operating Result before depreciation and amortization.
 
The Company believes that the use of “Adjusted Operating Result” provides investors with a better understanding of the day-to-day performance of the Company, because elements included under “Other gains/(losses)” such as impacts derived from derivative contracts and marketable securities are not considered part of the core business of each Operating segment and therefore are managed at the corporate level. The performance of each Operating segment is assessed by this measure, and for the same reason this measure is used by each segment’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of the Operating segments. This measure eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance and thus highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. The Company believes that disclosure of Adjusted Operating Result provides useful information to investors and financial analysts in their review of our operating performance and their comparison of operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the beverage industry, but it may not be comparable to similarly titled indicators used by other companies. Further, the Company believes that the use of ORBDA provides useful information to investors and analysts in their review of financial results as it is easily comparable to other similar figures disclosed by other companies to calculate financial ratios in order to have comparable measures used in the industry. Neither Adjusted Operating Result nor ORBDA are substitutes for IFRS measures of earnings.
 
66
 
Adjusted Operating Result and ORBDA have important limitations as analytical tools. For example, they do not reflect (a) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements needed for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; or (d) tax payments or distributions to our parent to make payments with respect to taxes attributable to us that represent a reduction in cash available to us. Although we consider the items excluded in the calculation of non-IFRS measures to be less relevant to the evaluation of our performance, some of these items may continue to take place and accordingly may reduce the cash available to us.
 
The following table presents the Net sales and Adjusted Operating Result, and the relevant percentage as a component of Net sales, for each of our Operating segments. Starting from the third quarter of 2016, the Company has incorporated into the Chile Operating segment the business activities performed by the Strategic Service Units (SSU), which include Transportes CCU, Comercial CCU, CRECCU and Plasco. Prior to December 2015, the revenue and expenses of the Strategic Service Units were reported under Others.

The main highlights of the consolidated Income Statement for the fiscal year ended 2021 were: (i) Net sales grew 33.8%, driven by 13.0% higher volumes and 18.3% average prices in CLP terms; (ii) an expansion of 72.0% in Adjusted Operating Result, explained by a 49.7% increase in the Chile Operating segment, an important recovery (after a negative result in 2020) in the International Business Operating segment, and a 6.8% rise in the Wine Operating segment, and (iii) a 107.1% expansion in Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company.
 
The improvement in our financial results was driven by the expansion in consolidated volumes, the latter due to higher private consumption, the recovery in terms of physical social gatherings, and a solid sales execution; together with the implementation of revenue management initiatives, the premiumization of our portfolio, and efficiencies.
 
Net Sales
 
Our net sales increased 33.8%, from CLP 1,857,594 million in 2020, to CLP 2,484,712 million in 2021, primarily as a result of a 13.0% increase in year-over-year sales volume, coupled with a 18.3% increase in average prices in Chilean pesos.
 
The increase in sales volume corresponds to a 16.7%, 7.3% and 2.9% expansion in our volumes in the Chile, International Business and Wine Operating segments, respectively, attributable to the recovery of consumption following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a solid sales execution, and the strength of our portfolio of brands. The 18.3% increase in average price (measured in CLPs) was explained by: (i) a 8.8% increase in prices in the Chile Operating segment, mainly due to positive mix effects, based on a strong performance of premium brands in beer, and the implementation of revenue management initiatives, (ii) a 56.9% increase in the International Business Operating segment, explained by revenue management initiatives, positive mix effects, and a favorable effect in Argentina, as prices increased in line with inflation while devaluation was significantly lower than inflation level, and (iii) an increment of 8.1% in average prices in the Wine operating segment, mainly as a consequence of a better mix in the portfolio, due to a higher share of premium wine brands in both the domestic and export markets, all of which offset the appreciation of the CLP against the USD (and the negative impact thereof on export earnings) during this period.
 
The rationale behind the change in net sales attributable to each of our operating segments for 2021 compared to 2020 is described below:
 
Chile:
Net sales increased by 27.0% from CLP 1,242,763 million in 2020, to CLP 1,578,152 million for 2021, due to an expansion of 16.7% in sales volume and an increase of 8.8% in average prices. The increased sales volume, as mentioned above, were attributable to the recovery of consumption following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic a solid sales execution, and our strong portfolio of brands. The better prices were associated with positive mix effects in the portfolio, based on a strong performance of premium brands in beer, and the implementation of revenue management initiatives. 
 
International Business:
Net sales increased 68.3% from CLP 402,829 million in 2020, to CLP 677,945 million in 2021, due to 7.3% increase in sales volume together with a 56.9% increase in average prices, the latter mainly due to revenue management initiatives, and favorable effects in Argentina, as prices increased in line with inflation while devaluation was significantly lower than inflation level.
 
Wine:
Net sales increased 11.2% from CLP 235,210 million in 2020, to CLP 261,620 million in 2021, due to 2.9% rise in sales volume, together with a 8.1% rise in average prices, the latter driven by a better mix in the portfolio, associated with a higher share of premium wine brands.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of raw materials, packaging, labor costs for production, personnel, depreciation of assets related to production, depreciation of returnable packaging, licensing fees, bottle breakage, utilities, and the costs of operating and maintaining plants and equipment.
 
Our cost of sales in 2021 increased 31.3% from CLP 984,036 million in 2020, to CLP 1,291,560 million in 2021, primarily due to a 13.0% increase in sales volume, together with an 16.1% increase in cost of sales per hectoliter. The higher cost of sales per hectoliter was mainly related to higher costs in raw materials, and mix effects from premiumization, partially compensated by the appreciation of the CLP against the USD, affecting favorably our USD-denominated costs in Chile.
 
The change in cost of sales for our operating segments for 2021 is described below:
 
Chile:
Cost of sales in the Chilean operating segment increased 29.5% from CLP 626,099 million in 2020, to CLP 810,803 million in 2021, primarily due to an increase in sales volume and higher costs of raw materials (mainly aluminum, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and sugar), and mixed effects, from the premiumization of the portfolio. This increase was partially offset by the appreciation of the CLP against the USD, that had a positive impact on our U.S. dollar costs when measured in CLP (our functional currency).  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in the Chilean operating segment increased from 50.4% in 2020, to 51.4% in 2021.
 
International Business:
Cost of sales in the International Business operating segment increased 48.5% in CLP from CLP 229,669 million in 2020, to CLP 341,082 million in 2021, mainly driven by an increase in sales volume, and higher USD-linked costs, largely due to the devaluation of the ARS against the USD, a higher cost in raw materials, mainly aluminum, and higher inflation. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in the International Business Operating segment decreased from 57.0% in 2020, to 50.3% in 2021, as Net sales rose above the Cost of sales.
 
Wine:
Cost of sales in the Wine Operating segment increased 14.3% from CLP 139,513 million in 2020, to CLP 159,494 million in 2021, mainly associated with the increase in sales volume, a higher cost of wine and mix effects, due to a higher contribution of premium wine brands in our volumes. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in this segment increased from 59.3% in 2020, to 61.0% in 2021.
 
Gross Profit
Our gross profit increased 36.6% from CLP 873,558 million in 2020, to CLP 1,193,152 million in 2021, driven by the changes in Net sales and Cost of sales during such periods described above.
 
Marketing, Selling, Distribution and Administrative Expenses (MSD&A expenses)
 
MSD&A expenses primarily include advertising and promotional expenses, selling expenses, distribution costs such as product transportation costs, services provided by third parties and other administrative expenses.
 
MSD&A expenses increased 25.2%, from CLP 704,790 million in 2020, to CLP 882,177 million in 2021. The increase in MSD&A expenses was mostly driven by higher sales volume and a normalization of marketing activities, the latter due to the contraction of marketing initiatives during 2020 due to the pandemic. As a percentage of Net sales, our MSD&A expenses decreased from 37.9% in 2020, to 35.5% in 2021, due to efficiency gains through the ExCCelencia CCU program across all our Operating segments. The MSD&A expenses performance of each Operating segment during 2021 is described below:
 
Chile:
MSD&A expenses increased 14.3% from CLP 443,637 million in 2020, to CLP 506,892 million in 2021, consistent with the increased sales volume and the normalization of marketing activities. As a percentage of Net sales, MSD&A expenses contracted from 35.7% in 2020, to 32.1% in 2021 due to efficiencies.
 
71
 
International Business:
MSD&A expenses increased 52.2% in CLP, from CLP 189,421 million in 2020, to CLP 288,303 million in 2021, primarily due to increased sales volume and the negative impact from the inflation in Argentina. Nonetheless, as a percentage of Net sales, MSD&A expenses decreased from 47.0% in 2020, to 42.5% in 2021, due to efficiencies.
 
Wine:
MSD&A expenses grew 6.6% from CLP 64,791 million in 2020, to CLP 69,052 million in 2021, mainly due to increased sales volume and higher marketing expenses. As a percentage of Net sales, MSD&A expenses improved from 27.5% in 2020, to 26.4% in 2021 due to efficiencies.
 
Other Income by Function
 
Other income by function decreased 38.8% from CLP 19,296 million in 2020, to CLP 11,808 million in 2021. The variation is primarily attributable to our operations in Argentina, associated with lower income related with “the Transaction” between CCU Argentina and ABI (for more information see Note 2 - Letter D of our Financial Statements as of December 2021 included herein).  
 
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased 29.2% from CLP 1,473 million in 2020, to CLP 1,903 million in 2021, mainly due to assets write-offs.
 
Adjusted Operating Result
As a result of the above, our Adjusted Operating Result increased 72.0% from CLP 186,591 million in 2020, to CLP 320,881 million in 2021, and our Adjusted Operating Result as a percentage of Net sales increased from 10.0% to 12.9% in the same period.
 
The Adjusted Operating Result performance of each of our Operating segments for 2021 is described below:
 
Chile:
The Adjusted Operating Result increased 49.7% from CLP 174,662 in 2020, to CLP 261,534 million in 2021. Consequently, the Adjusted Operating Result margin increased from 14.1% to 16.6% in the same period, mainly explained by higher volumes, higher average prices, due to a better mix in the portfolio, and efficiency gains.
 
International Business:
The Adjusted Operating Result increased passed from a loss of CLP 1,351 million in 2020, to a gain of CLP 56,564 million in 2021. The Adjusted Operating Result margin increased from negative 0.3% to positive 8.3% in the same period, mainly due to volume growth, revenue management initiatives, efficiencies and a low comparison base in 2020 due to the pandemic.
 
Wine:
The Adjusted Operating Result increased 6.8% from CLP 31,529 million in 2020, to CLP 33,679 million in 2021. The Adjusted Operating Result margin decreased from 13.4% to 12.9% in the same period, attributable to an increase in the cost of wine, a lower contribution from exports, and the appreciation of the CLP against the USD, which negatively impacted our export revenues.
 
Other:
The Adjusted Operating Result for Others reached a loss of CLP 30,897 million in 2021, from a loss of CLP 18,249 million in 2020, mainly due to increased technological expenses, associated with the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) platform.
 
Net Financial Expenses
Our Net Financial Expenses improved 15.3% from a loss of CLP 25,263 million in 2020, to a loss of CLP 21,397 million in 2021, primarily due to increased cash and cash equivalents.
 
 
72
 
 
Share of net income(loss) of joint ventures and associates accounted for using the equity method
 
Our Share of net income(loss) of joint ventures and associates improved by 102.7% from a loss of CLP 8,437 million in 2020, to a gain of CLP 226 million in 2021, mainly due to a better financial result in our JV in Colombia and Austral, in Chile.
 
Foreign currency exchange differences
 
Our Foreign currency exchange differences decreased from a gain of CLP 2,552 million in 2020, to a loss of CLP 10,149 million in 2021, primarily explained by Argentina.
 
Result as per adjustment units
 
Our result as per adjustment units increased from a loss of CLP 429 million in 2020, to a gain of CLP 2,529 million in 2021, mainly due to a higher rate of inflation in Argentina.
 
Income tax expense
 
Our income tax expense increased 133.4% from CLP 35,408 million in 2020, to CLP 82,630 million in 2021. This increase was primarily driven by the higher Income before taxes, due to higher Adjusted Operating Result, the latter explained by the expansion in Net Sales.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company
 
Our net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company increased 107.1% from CLP 96,152 million in 2020, to CLP 199,163 million, mainly explained by reasons described above.
 
Net income attributable to Non-controlling interests
 
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased 65.1% from CLP 12,043 million in 2020, to CLP 19,888 million in 2021, mainly due to a better result in Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A., Cervecería Kunstmann S.A., Compañía Pisquera de Chile S.A. and Bebidas del Paraguay S.A.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal source of liquidity has been cash generated by our operating activities, which amounted to CLP 242,320 million, CLP 280,670 million and CLP 293,356 million during the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
 
Our cash flow from operations and working capital are our primary sources to meet both our short-term and long-term obligations. In the opinion of our management, they are sufficient for those purposes.
 
The principal component of cash flows generated by operating activities in 2021 were amounts collected from clients
,
net of payments to suppliers of CLP 1,090,657 million compared to CLP 861,376 million in 2020 and CLP 850,064 million in 2019.

As of December 31, 2021, we had CLP 156,235 million (CLP 217,032 million in 2020 and CLP 95,292 million in 2019) in cash, overnight deposits, bank balances, time deposits and investments in mutual funds, which do not include CLP 109,333 million (CLP 179,357 million in 2020 and CLP 101,077 million in 2019) corresponding to securities purchased under resale agreements. Indebtedness, including accrued interest, amounted to CLP 573,651 million as of December 31, 2021. Short-term indebtedness included:

As of December 31, 2021, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A.’s recently described series of notes (“H”, “J”, “L” and “M”) required that we maintain certain financial ratios. The most significant covenants required Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of ORBDA (as calculated by CCU in accordance with particular debt instruments in order to measure such instruments’ financial covenants) to interest expenses higher than 3.00; to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of adjusted liabilities to adjusted equity) lower than 1.50; to maintain a consolidated financial leverage ratio (the ratio of net financial debt to adjusted equity) lower than 1.50; and a minimum consolidated adjusted equity of CLP 312,516.75 million. Furthermore, we were required to maintain a ratio of our unpledged assets over our unsecured liabilities of at least 1.2. The definition of, and calculation mechanics for “H” Series covenants were established when we first entered into this debt instrument, and were based on Chilean GAAP, which are no longer in use since the Company adopted IFRS, as issued by the IASB. For that reason, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. in 2010 adapted, with the consent of its creditors, these requirements to the new accounting standards and principles (see Note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included herein).
 
At December 31, 2020, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. met all of its financial debt covenants and had a consolidated interest coverage ratio of 12.48, a consolidated leverage ratio of 0.96 and consolidated financial leverage ratio of 0.19. The consolidated adjusted equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company as of December 31, 2021 was CLP 1,333,299 million. Our ratio of unpledged assets over unsecured liabilities was 4.96. As of December 31, 2021, the subsidiary VSPT was in compliance with the financial covenants required for the “D” series (see Note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included herein).
 
74
 
Additionally, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A has issued and placed in the international market a 10-year bond for an amount of USD 600 million with maturity date on January 19, 2032, subject to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of the United States of America of 1933.  Finally, in April 2022, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. issued and placed a 10-year series of notes (“P” Series) in the local market for UF 2 million.
 
Regarding bank loans in CLP, the main loans are: Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. CLP 40,000 million and CLP 90,000 million; CPCH CLP 16,000 million; VSPT USD 14,000,000; and CCK CLP 10,000 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Subsidiary and CCU were in compliance with the financial covenants and specific requirements of these loans.
 
None of our indebtedness, or that of our subsidiaries, contains any term that restricts our ability to pay dividends other than the requirement to maintain a minimum consolidated equity.

For the years 2022-2025, we will continue focusing on ensuring that we have the production capacity, in Chile and the other geographies where we operate, optimizing our distribution system and facilities, investing in marketing assets and returnable packaging. Capital e
xpenditures also include investments related to improve the condition of our facilities, in order to ensure the wellbeing and safety of our employees, suppliers and customer, while we will continue focusing in our sustainability agenda.
 
We cannot ensure that we will make any of these proposed capital expenditures at the anticipated level or at all. Moreover, given the current highly uncertain business environment, associated with the economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, the estimated figures presented above could differ. Our capital investment program is subject to revision from time to time due to changes in market conditions for our products, general economic conditions in the countries where we operate, interest rates, inflation and foreign exchange rates, competitive conditions and other factors. In addition, we are analyzing the possibility of making acquisitions in the same or related beverage businesses, either in Chile or in other countries of South America’s southern cone.
 
The financing of our investments comes mostly from cash flow from operations generated by the Company, supplemented with debt from the local and international financial markets, always considering in maintaining a healthy financial profile.

Research and Development
 
Innovation is the driver that allows CCU to meet constantly evolving demand. Our research and development efforts to continuously satisfy the market by introducing new products and brands, although significant, do not involve material expenditures, as we have a close relationship with the companies that own the brands subject to license contracts. The relationship with the license owners is a constant resource in these matters as well as in the application of production best practices, providing access to the “state of the art” techniques and knowledge in the industry.
 
In 2003, we entered into two technical agreements with Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. for assistance regarding all technical issues related to the production and bottling of Heineken Lager, one for Chile and the other for Argentina.
 
In May 2005, we entered into a technical assistance agreement with Heineken Technical Services B.V. (currently Heineken Supply Chain B.V.) for certain operational aspects of our breweries, with an initial term of one year, renewable for subsequent periods of one year each. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees” and “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions”.  
 
In addition to brands and production techniques, the Company constantly invests in new technologies and digital transformation in order to compete in a challenging environment. In this regard, during 2019 we started updating our operational platforms and developed artificial intelligence tools to optimize the use of information in the sale and distribution processes, among other initiatives. During 2020, we invested to enhance and expand our e-commerce platforms, in order to improve our consumers’ experience, and we improved our marketing strategy through internally developed digital tools. In 2021, we launched the proprietary B2B platform "Mi Carro " in Chile, a sales digital platform oriented to our retail clients. In addition, we continued with the regional expansion of our B2C platform "La Barra".

Trend Information
 
The Chilean economy posted a GDP growth of 11.7% in 2021, an inflation rate of 7.2% (measured as CPI variation), and an average unemployment rate of 8.9%. These figures represent a more positive economic environment in terms of economic activity and unemployment when compared to 2020, when GDP contracted 6.0%, and unemployment rate reached 10.8%, largely attributable to the restrictions imposed in order to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile, especially during the second and third quarter of 2020. Also, from a historical perspective, 2021’s GDP growth compares favorably versus the average GDP growth of 3.3% between 2010 and 2021, while unemployment rate is higher versus the 7.4% average reached during the same period. In terms of inflation, 2021’s figure largely surpassed the 3.0%, posted in 2020 and the 10-year average of 3.4% reached between 2010 and 2021.
 
The double-digit GDP growth in Chile was attributable to a very low comparison base, after a recession in 2020, but also due to a strong economic stimulus carried out by the government to boost both public and private consumption. In line with this, our volumes in the Chile Operating segment, expanded 16.7%. As of the date of this annual report, GDP growth expectations are around 2.0% for 2022, implying a deceleration in economic activity versus 2021. Although our consolidated volumes have been resilient to weaker macroeconomic conditions in the past, we cannot assure that the consumption of our products will not be affected in the future. Furthermore, the conditions in particular sectors of the economy may have different impacts in our business and factors such as competition and changes in relative prices among the various types of beverages can affect the consumption of our products.
 
The exchange rate between the CLP and the USD has been subject to nominal devaluations and appreciations in the past and may be subject to fluctuations in the future. For example, when comparing the average exchange rates for each period, the Chilean peso appreciated by 4.7% and 1.1% in 2017, and 2018, respectively, and depreciated by 9.5% and 12.7%, in 2019 and 2020, respectively, while it appreciated 4.0% in 2021. When comparing the exchange rate as of the end of each period, the Chilean peso appreciated by 8.2% in 2017, depreciated 13.0% in 2018, depreciated 7.8% in 2019, appreciated 5.0% in 2020, and depreciated 18.8% in 2021.

In 2021, the price of our main raw and packaging materials, such us malt, sugar, aluminum and PET, as well as oil prices, posted an upward trend in line with the main commodities around the world, generating cost pressure in our operations. We purchase these raw materials from local producers, in the countries where we operate, or in the international market. The prices of these materials are subject to volatility caused by market conditions, and have experienced significant fluctuations over time reflecting global supply and demand for commodities as well as other factors, such as fluctuations in exchange rates, climate and social events, geopolitical conflicts, like the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, and supply restrictions derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, over which we have no control. In addition, disruptions on international trade logistics have caused delays and difficulties on export shipments including significant increases in freights.
  
Although we historically have been able to implement price increases in response to increases in raw material costs, we cannot assure you that our ability to recover increases in the cost of raw materials will continue in the future. If we are unable to raise prices in response to higher raw material costs, any future increases in raw material costs may reduce our margins and profitability if we are not able to offset such cost increases through efficiency improvements or other measures.
 
In terms of regulations, on June 26, 2015 Decree N° 13 of the Ministry of Health was published which modified the Food Ordinance (Supreme Decree N° 977 of the Ministry of Health) and enforced Law N° 20,606 of 2012 regarding the nutritional composition of food products and its promotion. See “Item 4: Information of the Company – B. Business Overview – 10. Government Regulation - Government Regulation in Chile.”
 
In addition, as of the date of this report, there are a number of bills that have either been approved, or being discussed in the Chilean Congress that could impact our operation. For further information and a description of these bills, see “Item 3: Key Information – Risk Factors – Risk Relating to Our Business – Water supply is essential to the development of our businesses;” “Item 3: Key Information – Risk Factors – Risk Relating to Our Business – Possible regulations for labeling materials and advertising of alcoholic beverages and other food products in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect us;” and “Item 3: Key Information – Risk Factors – Risk Relating to Our Business – New applicable environmental regulations could affect our business.”  
 
In 2021, the Argentine economy expanded 10.3% and the Argentine peso continued with a depreciation trend against the USD, posting a 34.8% depreciation on average, and 22.1% as of the end of each period. A weaker Argentine peso against the USD may negatively affect our consolidated financial results due to most of our raw material costs in Argentina are indexed to the USD. Our Argentine subsidiaries use the Argentine peso as their functional currency and their financial statements are translated to CLP for consolidation purposes, which may produce variations to the Company’s consolidated net income and shareholders’ equity, due to translation effects.
 
Argentina has faced in the past, and continues to face, high inflation rates. The increase in inflationary risk may also erode macroeconomic growth and limit the availability of financing, causing a negative impact on our operations. In the years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 inflation in Argentina was approximately 48%, 54%, 36%, and 51% respectively. Consequently, given that the cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100% in the last three years, Argentina, as prescribed by IAS 29, was declared (and continues to be) a hyperinflationary economy as of July 1, 2018 (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included herein).
 
In 2020 and 2021, in an attempt to curb increasing inflation, the Argentine government applied various methods to directly and indirectly regulate price increases of various consumer goods, including beer. As of the date of this report, we are party to agreements with the Argentine government that require us to sell our products at a previously agreed-upon price. We cannot assure you that these measures will change nor the extent to which they will impact our business and results of operations.
 
78
 
As of the date of this report, there are several restrictions on the pricing of our products, the transfer of currency and repatriation of capital that could affect our subsidiaries’ ability to make payments and could in turn adversely affect our business and results of operations
 
Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, since March 2020, we have implemented a regional plan with three priorities: (i) the safety of our people and the community we interact with, (ii) operation continuity, and (iii) financial health. This has allowed us to continue supplying our clients and consumers with our products and maintaining a safe work environment. In spite of vaccination efforts, new variants of COVID-19 could spread globally and cause an increase in COVID-19 cases across several of the jurisdictions where we operate. In November 2021, a new variant, Omicron, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to date, was detected, and has since caused an increase in COVID-19 cases in multiple countries, including some of those where we conduct our operations, and of which the potential severity is currently being evaluated. At the close of this annual report, CCU continues selling, producing and distributing its products normally in all the countries where it operates, where restriction measures could still be implemented in the future to face new COVID-19 outbreaks. 
 
Any prolonged restrictive measures put in place to control an outbreak of a contagious disease or other adverse public health developments, including quarantines, medical screenings, travel restrictions and suspension of certain activities, in any of our markets may have a material and adverse effect on our business operations. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial condition will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on consumers’ and industries’ confidence, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted based on the impacts observed to date.
 
E.
Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
 
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Notes 2 and 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in this annual report. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences, changes in the business environment and information collected from qualified external sources. However, actual results may differ from estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and/or require management’s subjective judgments. The most critical accounting policies and estimates are mentioned below.
 
a.
The valuation of goodwill acquired to determine the existence of losses due to potential impairment.
b.
The valuation of commercial trademarks to determine the existence of losses due to potential impairment.
c.
The assumptions used in the current calculation of liabilities and obligations to employees.
d.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangibles.
e.
The assumptions used for calculating the fair value of financial instruments.
f.
The likelihood of occurrence and amounts estimated in an uncertain or contingent matter.
g.
The valuation of current Biological assets.
 
During the year ended on December 31, 2021, there have been no changes in the use of accounting principles or relevant changes in any accounting estimates with regard to previous years that have materially affected these Consolidated Financial Statements. (See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021).

Board Practices
 
We are managed by our board of directors which, in accordance with our bylaws (Estatutos), is formed by nine directors who are elected at the annual shareholders’ meeting. The entire board of directors is elected for three years and may be re-elected. The board of directors may appoint replacements to fill any vacancies that occur during periods between annual shareholders’ meetings. If such vacancy occurs, the entire board of directors must be renewed at the next following shareholders’ meeting.

The shareholders elected Messrs. Andrónico Luksic, Francisco Pérez, Carlos Molina, Vittorio Corbo, Pablo Granifo, Rodrigo Hinzpeter, José Miguel Barros, Marc Gross and Rory Cullinan as directors, for a term of three years, at the shareholders’ meeting held on April 14, 2021.
 
None of our directors is party to a service contract with us or any of our subsidiaries that provides for benefits upon termination.
 
Our chief executive officer and other senior managers are appointed by the board of directors and hold office at the discretion of the board of directors. There are regularly scheduled meetings of the board of directors once a month; extraordinary meetings are specially summoned by the Chairman, at the request of one or more board members where prior qualification of the necessity of such meeting has been met and, in any case, if requested by the absolute majority of the directors. The board of directors does not have an executive committee.
 
1)
Directors’ Committee
 
The director’s committee discussions, agreements, and organization are regulated, in every applicable matter, by the Chilean Corporations Act provisions relating to board of directors’ meetings. The directors’ committee shall inform the board of directors about the manner in which it will request information and about its resolutions.
 
In addition to the general liabilities imputable to any director, the directors that compose the directors’ committee shall, in the exercise of their duties, be jointly and severally liable for any damage caused to the corporation or the shareholders.
 
According to the Chilean Securities Market Law and the Chilean Corporations Act, corporations whose market capitalization reaches or exceeds UF 1.5 million (as of March 31, 2022 approximately CLP 47,592 million) and at least 12.5% of its outstanding shares with voting rights are in the possession of shareholders that individually control or possess less than 10% of such shares, shall designate a “comité de directores” or “directors’ committee” and appoint at least one independent director. The directors’ committee shall be composed of three members and at least one member shall be independent. If the market capitalization or stock percentage falls below this threshold, the obligation to designate a directors’ committee no longer applies. However, corporations which do not meet these requirements may voluntarily assume the obligations concerning the directors’ committee, in which case they shall strictly follow the provisions of the Chilean Corporations Act.
 
87
 
Pursuant to the Chilean Corporations Act, as amended, including Law N° 21,314 published on April 13, 2021, the powers and duties of the directors’ committee are as follows:
 

to examine the independent accountants’ reports, the balance sheets, and other financial statements submitted by the corporation’s managers or liquidators to the shareholders, and issue an opinion about them prior to their submission for shareholder approval;

to propose to the board of directors the independent accountants and the risk rating agencies, which the board must then propose to the shareholders. Should the board of directors disagree with the proposal of the directors’ committee, the board shall be entitled to make its own proposal, submitting both to the shareholders for their consideration;

to examine the documentation concerning related-party transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to produce a written report on such transactions. A copy of the report shall be delivered to the board, and shall be read at the board meeting in which the transaction is presented for approval or rejection;

to propose to the board of directors a general policy aimed at managing conflicts of interest, and requiring them to issue an opinion regarding the usual practice policy established pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 147 of Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act.

to examine the managers’, principal executive officers’ and employees´ remuneration policies and compensation plans;

to prepare an annual report of the performance of its duties, including the principal recommendations to shareholders;

to advise the board of directors as to the suitability of retaining the independent accounting firm to provide non-audit services, which are not prohibited by the Chilean Securities Market Law, if the nature of such services could impair the accountants independence from the company; and

all other matters contemplated in our bylaws or entrusted to the directors’ committee by a shareholders’ meeting or the board of directors.
 
Regarding related party transactions mentioned in the third bullet point above, Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act applies to open stock corporations and its subsidiaries, while dispositions of Articles N° 44, 89 and 93 of the Chilean Corporations Act, are applicable only to closely held corporations, which are not subsidiaries of an open stock corporation. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions”.
 
Pursuant to the Chilean Corporations Act, as amended by Law N° 21,314 referred to above, the CMF may, by means of a general rule, establish the requirements and conditions that directors must meet in order to be considered independent directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person shall be considered independent who, at any time during the previous eighteen months:
 
1.

Should the board of directors fail to reach an agreement, preference to be appointed to the committee shall be given to directors elected with the highest percentage of votes cast by shareholders that individually control or possess less than 10% of the company’s shares. If there is only one independent director, such director shall appoint the other members of the committee among non-independent directors. Such directors shall be entitled to exercise full powers as members of the committee. The chairman of the board of directors shall not be entitled to be appointed as a member of the committee nor any of its subcommittees, unless he is an independent director.
 
To be elected as independent director, the candidates must be proposed by shareholders that represent 1% or more of the shares of the company, at least 10 days prior to the date of the shareholders' meeting called to that end.

The compensation of our directors’ committee members, as approved at the shareholders’ meeting held on April 13, 2022, consists (with effect as of May 2022) of a monthly gross remuneration for attendance to directors’ committee meetings, independent of the number of meetings held in each period, of UF 50 (as of March 31, 2022, approximately CLP 1,586 thousand), plus the amount required to complete the remaining third of the remuneration of a director.

Our employees who are subject to collective bargaining agreements have a contractual benefit to receive a payment in case of resignation, consisting of a payment of one monthly base salary for each full year worked, not subject to a limitation on the total amount payable but subject to a limitation on the total number of employees who can claim the severance benefit during any one year.

In addition to our permanent work force, as of December 31, 2021, we had 1,149 temporary employees, who were hired for specific time periods to satisfy short-term needs.
 
International Business Operating segment
 
Collective bargaining in Argentina is done on an industry-wide basis, rather than, as in Chile, on a company-by-company basis. In Argentina, as in Chile, all employees who are terminated for reasons other than misconduct are entitled by law to receive a severance payment. According to the Argentine Labor Law, employees who joined us before October 1998 are entitled to the basic payment as required by law of one month’s salary for each year or fraction thereof worked. This monthly amount cannot exceed three times the average monthly salary established under the applicable collective bargaining agreement and cannot be less than the equivalent of two monthly salaries of the employee.

In Argentina, unionized employees represent approximately 73% of our total permanent workforce, moreover in Uruguay this number represent 57% of our total permanent workforce.
 
In addition to our permanent work force, as of December 31, 2021, we had 518 temporary employees, who were hired for specific time periods to satisfy short-term needs.

To the best of our knowledge, our beneficial shareholders who, directly or indirectly, own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock is IRSA with 65.87%, as of March 31, 2022 and as of the date of this annual report.
 
CCU is controlled by IRSA, which owns, directly and indirectly, 65.87% of the shares of our common stock. IRSA is a Chilean corporation owned 50% by Quiñenco, which is a holding company of the Luksic Group, and 50% by Heineken Chile Ltda., a subsidiary of Heineken Americas B.V. IRSA directly owns 196,421,725 shares of our common stock and, indirectly, through Inversiones IRSA Limitada, 25,279,991 additional shares of our common stock.
 
The shareholders of IRSA, Quiñenco S.A. and Heineken Chile Ltda., signed a Shareholders' Agreement, which was then registered in the
Depósito Central de Valores
(“DCV”). The agreement restricts IRSA’s shareholders, Quiñenco and Heinenken, from independently acquiring shares of CCU, with the exception of acquiring shares through IRSA. This Shareholders’ Agreement also restricts the shareholders of IRSA from freely selling CCU’s shares, as it imposes preferential rights, among other restrictions.

As of March 31, 2022, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMorgan”), the depositary for our ADR facility, was the record owner of 76,226,493 shares of our common stock 20.63% of the outstanding common stock) deposited in our ADR facility.
 
As of March 31, 2022, we had 3,824 shareholders of record. All shareholders have equal voting rights. It is not practicable for us to determine the number of our ADSs or our common shares beneficially owned in the United States as the depositary for our ADSs only has knowledge of the record holders, including the Depositary Trust Company and its nominees. As a result, we are not able to ascertain the domicile of the final beneficial holders represented by the one ADS record holder in the United States. Likewise, we cannot readily determine the domicile of any of our foreign shareholders who hold our common stock, either directly or indirectly.
 
To our knowledge, none of our common stock is currently owned by governmental entities. Our common stock is listed and traded on the principal Chilean stock exchanges.
 
B.
Related Party Transactions
 
Regarding related party transactions, Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act is applicable to open stock corporations and their subsidiaries, while Articles 44, 89 and 93 are only applicable to closely held corporations which are not subsidiaries of an open stock corporation.
 
Pursuant to Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act referenced above, a related-party transaction shall be any and all negotiation, agreement or operation between the open stock corporation and any one of the following:
 

one or more related persons pursuant to the Chilean Securities Market Law;
 
a director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer or liquidator of the company, personally or acting on behalf of a person other than the company, or their respective spouses or close relatives (e.g. parents, father/mother in law, sisters, brothers, sisters/brothers in law);
 
company or concern in which the persons referred to in the above clause are the owners, directly or indirectly through any other individual or corporation, of 10% or more of its capital; or of which any of the persons referred to in the above clause are a director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer thereof;
 
those contemplated by the bylaws of the company or upon sufficient grounds determined by the directors’ committee, as the case may be, which can include subsidiaries in which the company owns, directly or indirectly, at least 95% of the equity or capital stock; and
 
93
 
those in which the office of director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer or liquidator has been held by a director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer or liquidator of the company within the prior 18 months.
 
The following persons are considered under the Chilean Securities Market Law to be related persons:
 
any entities within the financial conglomerate to which the company belongs;
 
corporate entities that have, with respect to us, the character of parent company, affiliated companies or subsidiary. Parent companies are those that control directly or indirectly more than 50% of the subsidiary’s voting stock (or participation, in the case of business organizations other than stock companies), or that may otherwise elect or appoint, or cause the election or appointment, of the majority of the directors or officers. A limited partnership (sociedades en comandita) may likewise be a subsidiary of a corporation, whenever the latter has the power to direct or guide the administration of the general partner (gestor) thereof. For these purposes, affiliated companies are those where one of them, without actually controlling the other, owns directly or indirectly 10% or more of the latter’s voting stock (or equity, in the case of business organizations other than stock companies), or that may otherwise elect or appoint, or cause the election or appointment of, at least one board member or manager;
 
persons who are directors, managers, administrators, principal executive officers or liquidators of us, and their spouses or their close relatives (i.e. parents, father/mother in law, sisters, brothers, sisters/brothers in law); as well as any other entity controlled by, directly or indirectly, any one of the above; and
 
any person who, whether acting alone or in agreement with others, may appoint at least one member of our management or controls 10% or more of our voting capital.
 
The CMF may presume that any individual or corporate entity is related to a company if, because of relationships of equity, administration, kinship, responsibility or subordination, the person:
 
whether acting alone or in agreement with others, has sufficient voting power to influence the company’s management
creates conflicts of interest in doing business with the company;
in the case of a corporate entity, is influenced in its management by the company; or
holds employment or a position which affords the person access to non-public information about the company and its business, which renders the person capable of influencing the value of the company’s securities.
 
However, a person shall not be considered to be related to a company by the mere fact of owning up to 5% of the company, or if the person is only an employee of the company without managerial responsibilities.
 
Additionally, pursuant to Article 147 of Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act, an open stock corporation shall only be entitled to enter into a related-party transaction when it is in the interest of the company, the price, terms and conditions are similar to those prevailing in the market at the time of its approval and the transaction complies with the requirements and procedures stated below:
 
1.
The directors, managers, administrators, principal executive officers or liquidators that have an interest or that take part in negotiations conducive to the execution of an arrangement with a related party of the open stock corporation, shall report it immediately to the board of directors or whomever the board designates. Those who breach this obligation will be jointly liable for damages caused to the company and its shareholders.

2.
Prior to the company’s consent to a related party transaction, it must be approved by the absolute majority of the members of the board of directors, with exclusion of the interested directors or liquidators, who nevertheless shall make public his/her/their opinion with respect to the transaction if it is so requested by the board of directors, which opinion shall be set forth in the minutes of the meeting. Likewise, the grounds of the decision and the reasons for excluding such directors from its adoption must also be recorded in the minutes.

94
 
3.
The resolutions of the board of directors approving a related party transaction shall be reported at the next following shareholders' meeting, including a reference to the directors who approved such transaction. A reference to the transaction is to be included in the notice of the respective shareholders' meeting.
 
4.
In the event that an absolute majority of the members of the board of directors should abstain from voting, the related-party transaction shall only be executed if it is approved by the unanimous vote of the members of the board of directors not involved in such transaction, or if it is approved in a shareholders' extraordinary meeting by two-thirds of the voting shares of the company.
 
5.
If a shareholders' extraordinary meeting is called to approve the transaction, the board of directors shall appoint at least one independent advisor who shall report to the shareholders the terms of the transaction, its effects and the potential impact for the company. In the report, the independent advisor shall include all the matters or issues the directors’ committee may have expressly requested to be evaluated. The directors’ committee of the company or, in the absence of such committee, directors not involved in the transaction, shall be entitled to appoint an additional independent advisor, in the event they disagree with the appointment made by the board.
 
The reports of the independent advisors shall be made available to the shareholders by the board on the business day immediately following their receipt by the company, at the company’s business offices and on its internet site, for a period of at least 15 business days from the date the last report was received from the independent advisor, and such arrangement shall be communicated to the shareholders by means of a “Relevant Fact” (Communication sent to the CMF and the stock markets in Chile).
 
The directors shall decide whether the transaction is in the best interest of the corporation, within five business days from the date the last report was received from the independent advisors.
 
6.
When the directors of the company must decide on a related party-transaction, they must expressly state the relationship with the transaction counterparty or the interest involved. They shall also express their opinion on whether the transaction is in the best interest of the corporation, their objection or objections that the directors’ committee may have expressed, as well as the conclusions of the reports of the advisors. The opinions of the directors shall be made available to the shareholders the day after they were received by the company, at the business offices of the company as well as on its internet site, and such arrangement shall be reported by the company as a “Relevant Fact”.
 
7.
Notwithstanding the applicable sanctions, any infringement of the above provisions will not affect the validity of the transaction, but it will grant the company or the shareholders the right to sue the related party involved in the transaction for reimbursement to the company of a sum equivalent to the benefits that the operation reported to the counterpart involved in the transaction, as well as indemnity for damages incurred. In this case, the defendant bears the burden of proof that the transaction complies with the requirements and procedures referred to above.
 
Notwithstanding the above, the following related party transactions may be executed, pursuant to letters a), b) and c) of Article 147 of the Chilean Corporations Act, as amended by Law N° 21,314 published on April 13, 2021, without complying with the requirements and procedures stated above, with prior authorization by the board:
 
1.
Transactions that do not involve a “material amount”. For this purpose, any transaction that is both greater than UF 2,000 (as of March, 31, 2022, approximately CLP 63 million) and in excess of 1% of the corporation’s equity, or involving an amount in excess of UF 20,000 (as of March 31, 2022, approximately CLP 635 million) shall be deemed to involve a material amount. All transactions executed within a 12 month period that are similar or complementary to each other, with identical parties, including related parties, or objects, shall be deemed to be a single transaction.
2.
Transactions that pursuant to the company’s policy of usual practice as determined by its board of directors, are in the ordinary course of business of the company. Any agreement or resolution establishing or amending such policies shall require the prior opinion of the directors’ committee and shall be communicated to the CMF as a “Relevant Fact” when appropriate. The company’s policy of usual practice shall contain at a minimum that information required by the CMF by means of a general regulation, and shall be available at all times to the company’s shareholders at the corporate offices and, in the case of companies who have one, published on their corporate website. However, the aforementioned policy may not authorize the execution of acts or contracts comprising more than 10% of the company's assets.
 
95
 
3.
Transactions between legal entities in which the company possesses, directly or indirectly, at least 95% of the equity of the counterpart.
 
Notwithstanding the above, the CMF may require the company to disclose to its shareholders and to the general public the details of any related party transactions that have been carried out. Such disclosure shall be made in the manner, for a term, with a periodicity and other conditions as the CMF establishes by means of a general regulation.

Dividend Policy and Dividends
 
Our dividend policy is reviewed and established from time to time by our board of directors and reported during our annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting, which is generally held in April of each year. Each year our board of directors must submit its proposal for a final dividend with charge to the preceding year Net income, for shareholder approval at the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting. As required by the Chilean Corporations Act, we must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of our Net income for that year, after deducting any accumulated losses from previous years, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of the issued shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has the authority to pay interim dividends during any one fiscal year, to be charged against the earnings of that year.
 
Our board of directors announced at our annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on April 14, 2021, its dividend policy for future periods, authorizing the distribution of cash dividends in an amount at least equal to 50% of our Net income of the year attributable to equity holders of the parent company under IFRS for the previous year. Our dividend policy is subject to change in the future due to changes in Chilean law, capital requirements, economic results and/or other factors. During our annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on April 14, 2021, a dividend of CLP
139,16548
per share of common stock (CLP 278.33096 per ADS using the ratio as of December 20, 2012 of 1 ADS to 2 common shares) was approved, in addition to the interim dividend of CLP 56 per share of common stock (CLP 112 per ADS) distributed in December 30, 2020. Together, these dividend payments amounted to CLP 72.114 million, representing 75% of the “Net income of the year attributable to equity holders of the parent company” for 2020.
 
100
 
Dividends are paid to shareholders of record at midnight of the fifth business day, including Saturdays, preceding the date set for payment of the dividend. The holders of ADSs on the applicable record dates are entitled to dividends declared for each corresponding period.
 
The board of directors, in its meeting held on October 6, 2021, approved the distribution, with a charge to 2021’s Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company, of an interim dividend of CLP 200 per share of common stock (CLP 400 per ADS), totaling CLP 73,900,574,400, which was paid as of October 29, 2021. Additionally, the board of directors, in its meeting held on March 9, 2022, resolved to propose to the next ordinary shareholders meeting, the distribution, with charge to 2021’s Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company, of a final dividend of CLP 200 per share of common stock (CLP 400 per ADS). The proposal, representing a total payment of CLP 73,900,574,400, was approved at our last annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on April 13, 2022 and the final dividend to be paid as of April 28, 2022 to shareholders of record at midnight on April 22, 2022.
Collectively, these dividend payments amount to CLP 147,801 million, representing 74,21% of the “Net income of the year attributable to equity holders of the parent company” for 2021.
 
Additionally, at an extraordinary meeting held on October 13, 2021, the board of directors agreed to propose to an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on November 24, 2021, the distribution of dividend N° 263 in an amount of CLP 447 per share (CLP 894 per ADR), for an aggregate sum of CLP 165,168 million to be charged against retained earnings.
 
On November 24, 2021, the distribution of such dividend was approved by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting and payment was made available to shareholders beginning on December 3, 2021.
 
The following table sets forth the amounts of interim and final dividends and the aggregate amounts of such dividends per share of common stock and per ADS in respect of each of the years indicated:

See “Item 10. Additional Information – D. Exchange Controls” for additional information on how ADR holders may remit currency outside Chile.

Markets

 
Our common stock is currently traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Chile Electronic Stock Exchange and, until October 8, 2018, the Valparaíso Stock Exchange under the symbol “CCU”. The Santiago Stock Exchange accounted for approximately 94.6%, 93.1% and 95.4% of the trading volume of our common stock in Chile in the last three years, respectively. The remaining 5.4%, 6.9% and 5.6% respectively, was traded mainly on the Chile Electronic Stock Exchange. Shares of our common stock were traded in the United States on the NASDAQ Stock Market between September 24, 1992 and March 25, 1999 and on the NYSE since March 26, 1999, in the form of ADSs, under the symbol “CCU”, with such ADSs being evidenced by ADRs, which until December 20, 2012, had each represented five shares of our common stock. Starting on December 20, 2012, the ratio was changed so that each ADS represented two shares of our common stock. The ADSs are issued under the terms of a deposit agreement dated September 1, 1992, as amended and restated on July 31, 2013, among us, JPMorgan, as depositary, and the holders from time to time of the ADSs.

. At least 30% of our Net income
for each fiscal year are required to be distributed as dividends in cash to our shareholders, unless our shareholders unanimously decide otherwise. Any remaining profits may be used to establish a reserve fund (that may be capitalized at any time, amending the corporate bylaws by the vote of a majority of the voting stock issued), or to pay future dividends.
 
Compulsory minimum dividends (“minimum dividends”), i.e., at least thirty percent of our Net income for each fiscal year, become due thirty days after the date on which the annual shareholders' meeting has approved the distribution of profits in the fiscal year. Any additional dividends approved by our shareholders become due on the date set by our shareholders or our board of directors.
 
Accrued dividends that corporations fail to pay or make available to their shareholders within certain periods are to be adjusted from the date on which those dividends became due and that of actual payment. Overdue dividends will accrue interest at established rates over the same period.
 
Dividends and other cash benefits unclaimed by shareholders after five years from the date on which they became due will become the property of the Chilean Fire Department.
 
We have only one class of shares and there are therefore no preferences or limitations on the voting rights of shareholders. Each of our shareholders is entitled to one vote per share. In annual shareholders’ meetings, resolutions are made by an absolute majority of those present
at the meeting, provided legal quorums (consisting of an absolute majority of our issued voting stock, in case the quorum is satisfied at its first call, or any number of shareholders present at the meeting if the meeting takes place at its second call) are met. A special or extraordinary meeting generally requires an absolute majority, in other words, 50% plus one of the shares entitled to vote; however, the Chilean Corporations Act provides that in order to carry certain motions, a two-thirds majority of the outstanding voting stock is necessary.
 
Our directors are elected every three years and their terms are not staggered. Our shareholders may accumulate their votes in favor of just one person or distribute their votes to more than one person. In addition, by unanimous agreement of our shareholders present and entitled to vote, the vote may be omitted and the election made by acclamation.
 
In the event of liquidation, the Chilean Corporations Act provides that corporations may carry out distributions to shareholders on account of a reimbursement of capital only after the payment of corporate indebtedness.
 
There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to us, nor are there any liabilities to our shareholders relating to future capital calls by us.
 
Under Chilean law, certain provisions affect any existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of the shareholder owning a substantial number of shares. The Chilean Securities Market Law, establishes that (a) any person who, directly or indirectly, owns 10% or more of the subscribed capital of an open stock corporation (the “majority shareholders”) or that, as a consequence of an acquisition of shares, attains such percentage, and (b) all directors, liquidators, principal executive officers, administrators and managers of such corporations, regardless of the number of shares they possess, either directly or indirectly, must report any purchase or sale of shares to the CMF and to each of the stock exchanges in Chile where such corporation has securities listed, the day immediately following the execution of the transaction, through the technological means authorized by the CMF. This obligation shall also apply to the acquisition or sale of contracts or securities, the price or result of which is dependent upon or is conditioned on, in whole or in a relevant part, the fluctuation or evolution of the price of such shares. In addition, majority shareholders must inform the CMF and the stock exchanges with respect to whether the purchase is aimed at acquiring control of the corporation or just as a financial investment.
 
The Chilean Securities Market Law also provides that when one or more persons intend to take over a corporation subject to oversight by the CMF, they must give prior public notice. This notice must include the price to be offered per share and the conditions of the proposed transaction, including the expected manner of acquiring the shares.

105
 
Finally, Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law was enacted on December 20, 2000, to ensure that controlling shareholders share with minority shareholders the benefits of a change of control, by requiring that certain share acquisitions be made pursuant to a tender offer.
 
Article 199 bis of the Chilean Securities Market Law extends the obligation to make a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares to any person, or group of persons with a joint performance agreement, that, as a consequence of the acquisition of shares, becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the issued shares with voting rights of a corporation. Such tender offer must be effected within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.
 
The Chilean Corporations Act provides shareholders with preemptive rights and requires that options to purchase stock representing capital increases in corporations and debentures duly convertible into stock of the issuing corporation, or any other securities extending future rights over such stock, must be offered preferably, at least once, to existing shareholders, in proportion to the number of shares owned by them. A corporation must distribute any bonus stock in the same manner.
 
The Chilean Corporations Act also provides shareholders with the right to withdraw from a corporation in certain situations. Unless there is an ongoing bankruptcy proceeding, if a shareholders’ meeting approves any of the following matters, dissenting shareholders will be automatically entitled to withdraw from the corporation upon payment by the corporation of the market value of their shares:
 
 
·
 
 
our transformation into a different type of legal entity;
 
 
·
 
 
our merger with and/or into another company;
 
 
·
 
 
the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage; the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status as controller;
 
 
·
 
 
the granting of real or personal guarantees to secure third-party obligations exceeding 50% of the corporate assets, except when the third party is a subsidiary of the company (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice);
 
 
·
 
 
the creation of preferences for a series of shares or the increase, extension or reduction in the already existing ones. In this case, only dissenting shareholders of the affected series shall have the right to withdraw;
 
 
·
 
 
curing certain formal defects in the corporate charter which otherwise would render it null and void or any modification of its bylaws that should grant this right; and
 
 
·
 
 
other cases provided for by statute or in our bylaws, if any.
 
 
In addition, shareholders may withdraw if a person becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation as a consequence of a share acquisition and such person does not make a tender offer for the remaining shares within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.
 
Minority shareholders are also granted the right to withdraw when the controlling shareholder acquires more than 95% of the shares of an open stock corporation.
 
Our bylaws do not provide for additional circumstances under which shareholders may withdraw.
 
Action necessary to change the rights of holders of stock
. The rights of stockholders are established by law and pursuant to the bylaws of a corporation. For certain modifications of shareholders’ rights, the law requires a special majority, such as the creation, increase, extension, reduction or suppression of preferred stock, which may be adopted only with the consent of at least two-thirds of the affected series. Consequently
,
any other impairment of rights not specifically regulated needs only an absolute majority (more than 50%) of the stock entitled to vote. However, the waiver of the shareholders’ right to receive no less than 30% of the Net income accrued in any fiscal year (minimum dividend) requires the unanimous vote of all stockholders. The above notwithstanding, no decision of the shareholders’ meeting can deprive a shareholder of any part of the stock that he/she owns.
 
106
 
Our bylaws do not contemplate additional conditions in connection with matters described in this subsection.
 
Shareholders’ meetings
. Our annual shareholders' meetings are to be held during the first four months of each year. During the meetings, determinations are made relating to particular matters, which matters may or may not be specifically indicated in the summons for such meeting.
 
The quorum for a shareholders' meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least an absolute majority of our issued voting stock; if a quorum is not present at the time of the first call of the meeting, a second call of the meeting can be reconvened and upon the meeting being reconvened, shareholders present at the time of the second call of the reconvened meeting are deemed to constitute a valid quorum regardless of the percentage of the voting stock represented. In that case, decisions will be made by the absolute majority of stock with voting rights present or otherwise represented. The following matters are specifically reserved for annual meetings:
 
 
·
 
 
review of our state of affairs and of the reports of external auditors, and the approval or rejection of the annual report, balance sheet, financial statements and records submitted by our officers or liquidators;
 
 
·
 
 
distribution of profits of the respective fiscal year, including the distribution of dividends;
 
 
·
 
 
election or revocation of regular and alternate board members, liquidators and external auditors; and
 
 
·
 
 
determination of the remuneration of the board members, directors’ committee remuneration and budget, designation of the newspaper where summons for meetings shall be published and, in general, any other matter to be dealt with by the annual meeting being of corporate interest and not specifically reserved to extraordinary shareholders' meetings.
 
 
Extraordinary shareholders' meetings may be held at any time, when required by corporate necessity. During extraordinary meetings, determinations are made relating to any matter which the law or the
Company's
bylaws reserve for consideration by such extraordinary meetings, which matters shall be expressly set forth in the relevant summons. When in an extraordinary shareholders' meeting determinations relating to matters specifically reserved to annual meetings must be made, the operation and decisions of such extraordinary meeting will follow the requirements applicable to annual meetings. The following matters, are specifically reserved for extraordinary meetings:
 
 
·
 
 
dissolution of the corporation;
 
 
·
 
 
transformation, merger or spin-off of the corporation and amendments to its bylaws;
 
 
·
 
 
issuance of bonds or debentures convertible into stock;
 
 
·
 
 
the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage, the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represent at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status of controlling shareholder; and
 
 
·
 
 
guarantees of third parties' obligations, except when these third parties are subsidiary companies (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice).
 
 
In addition to the above, annual and extraordinary shareholders' meetings must be called by the board of directors in the following circumstances:
 
 
·
 
 
when requested by shareholders representing at least 10% of issued stock with voting rights regarding closely held corporations; and
 
 
·
 
 
when required by the CMF, notwithstanding its right to call such meeting directly.
 
 
Only holders of stock recorded in the Register of Shareholders of open stock corporations at midnight of the fifth business day, including Saturdays, before the date of the pertinent meeting may participate with the right to be heard and vote in shareholders' meetings. Directors and officers other than shareholders may participate in shareholders' meetings with the right to be heard.
 
107
 
Shareholders may be represented at meetings by other individuals, regardless of whether or not those persons are shareholders themselves. A proxy must be conferred in writing, and for the total number of shares held by the shareholder and entitled to vote in accordance with the previous paragraph.
 
Limitations on the right to own securities
. The right to own any kind of property is guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution, and the Chilean Corporations Act does not contain any general limitation regarding the right to own securities. There are, however, certain limitations on the right of foreigners to own securities of Chilean corporations, but only for certain special types of companies. We are not affected by these limitations, and our bylaws do not contain limitations or restrictions in this regard.
 
Article 14 of the Chilean Corporations Act forbids open stock corporations from including in their bylaws any provisions restricting the free transferability of stock. However, shareholders may enter into a private agreement on this matter, but, in order for these agreements to be effective against the company and third parties, they must be recorded by the corporation and thus made available to any interested third parties. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees – A. Directors and Senior Management”.
 
Takeover defenses.
Our bylaws do not contain any provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us (or any of our subsidiaries). See “Item 10: Additional Information – B. Memorandum and Articles of Association – Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares”.
 
Ownership threshold
. Our bylaws do not contain any ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. For a description of the ownership thresholds mandated by Chilean law, see “– Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares” above. See “Item 10: Additional Information – B. Memorandum and Articles of Association – Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares”.
 
Our bylaws do not impose any conditions that are more stringent than those required by law for effecting changes in our capital.
 
C.

Material Contracts

 
Not applicable.
 
D.

Exchange Controls

 
General Legislation and Regulations
. The Central Bank of Chile is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. See “Item 3. Key Information – Selected Financial Data – Exchange Rates”. Foreign investments can be registered with the Central Bank of Chile under Chapter XIV of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations, which regulates foreign exchange transactions, including access to the Formal Exchange Market. Pursuant to Law N° 20,780, on June 25, 2015 Law N° 20,848 was enacted, replacing Decree Law N° 600 of 1974 and establishing a new statute for direct foreign investments (henceforth, the "New Statute for Foreign Investment"). The New Statute for Foreign Direct Investments went into effect as of January 1, 2016. Foreign investors in companies that maintain a valid foreign investment agreement with the Government of Chile pursuant to the regulations of Decree Law N° 600 will fully retain the rights and obligations set forth in said agreements, provided that the agreements were executed prior to January 1, 2016. The New Statute for Foreign Investment does not grant investors eligibility for a tax invariability regime, which was granted to them by Decree Law N° 600. However, a transitory 4 four-year system was established, under which foreign investors could have requested foreign investment authorizations via the execution of agreements with the Government of Chile, albeit subject to a total income tax rate of 44.5%. This transitory system expired on January 1, 2020.
 
Effective April 19, 2001, the Central Bank of Chile abrogated the then existing Chapter XXVI of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations (“Chapter XXVI”), which addressed issuance of ADSs by a Chilean company, and issued an entirely new set of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the “April 19th Regulations”), virtually eliminating all the restrictions and limitations that had been in force up to that date. The April 19th Regulations were based upon the general principle that foreign exchange transactions can be made freely in Chile by any person, notwithstanding the power conferred by law to the Central Bank of Chile of imposing certain restrictions and limitations to such transactions.
 
108
 
With the issuance of the April 19
th
Regulations, the approval by the Central Bank of Chile required for access to the Formal Exchange Market was replaced with the requirement of reporting of the relevant transactions to the Central Bank of Chile. However, some foreign exchange transactions, notably foreign loans, capital investment or deposits, continued to be subject to the requirement of being effected through the Formal Exchange Market. The April 19th Regulations reduced the time needed to effect foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors in Chile.
 
According to the April 19
th
Regulations, foreign exchange transactions performed before April 19, 2001, remained subject to the regulations in effect at the time of the transactions (i.e. Chapter XXVI), unless the interested parties elected the applicability of the April 19
th
Regulations, thereby expressly waiving the applicability of the regulations in force at the time of the execution of the respective transaction.
 
On January 23, 2002, the Central Bank of Chile issued an entirely new set of Foreign Exchange Regulations, effective March 1, 2002, replacing the April 19
th
Regulations (the “New Rules”). The New Rules preserve the general principle established in the April 19
th
Regulations of freedom in foreign exchange transactions, simplified procedures to reduce the time needed to materialize foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors in Chile, and introduced several new provisions.
 
Pursuant to the New Rules, Chilean entities are allowed, under Chapter XIV, which governs credits, deposits, investments and capital contribution from abroad, to: (i) dispose of such foreign currency allocated abroad, executing any of the transactions contemplated in Chapter XIV, without the need of delivering it into Chile, subject to the obligation of reporting said transaction to the Central Bank of Chile; and (ii) capitalize any liability expressed in foreign currency and acquired abroad. These provisions also state that amendments to any contracts or instruments regarding such credits, deposits, investments and capital contributions that can affect the conditions of such transactions must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile. 
 
According to the New Rules, section 7 of Chapter XIV, duly in force, states that foreign exchange transactions made pursuant to Chapter XIV, executed before April 19, 2001, were to continue to be subject to the regulations in effect at the time of the transactions, unless the interested parties elect the applicability of the New Rules, expressly waiving the applicability of the provisions which would otherwise govern them.
 
In connection with our initial public offering of ADSs, we entered into a foreign investment contract (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) with the Chilean Central Bank and the Depositary, pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and former Chapter XXVI. Absent the Foreign Investment Contract, under Chilean exchange controls in force until April 19, 2001, investors would not have been granted access to the Formal Exchange Market for the purpose of converting CLP to USD and repatriating from Chile amounts received in respect of, among other things, deposited Shares or Shares withdrawn from deposit on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying Shares and any rights with respect thereto).
 
Notwithstanding the April 19th Regulations and the New Rules, Chapter XXVI remained in effect with respect to our ADR facility. On March 3, 2014, we, the Central Bank of Chile and the Depositary executed an agreement that terminated the Foreign Investment Contract. Consequently, the special exchange regime established under Chapter XXVI is no longer applicable. The Deposit Agreement, therefore, and the Company’s ADR program became subject to the exchange regulations of general applicability of Chapter XIV or such new regulations that may be issued in the future.
 
The ADS facility is currently governed by Chapter XIV on “Regulations applicable to Credits, Deposits, Investments and Capital Contributions from Abroad”. According to Chapter XIV number 2.3, the establishment of an ADS facility is regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, subject to the above mentioned limitations, and it is not necessary to seek the Central Bank’s prior approval in order to establish an ADS facility. The establishment of an ADS facility only requires that the Central Bank be informed of the transaction, and that the transactions thereunder be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market.
 
109
 
Investment in Our Shares and ADSs
 
Investments made in shares of our common stock are subject to the following requirements:
 
According to Chapter XIV of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations Information Procedures and Forms Manual (hereinafter the “Manual”), any foreign investor acquiring shares of our common stock who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market; any foreign investor acquiring shares of our common stock to be deposited and converted into ADSs who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market; in both cases, the entity of the Formal Exchange Market through which the funds are brought into Chile must report such investment to the Central Bank following the instructions detailed in Chapter I of the Manual; all remittances of funds from Chile to the foreign investor upon the sale of the acquired shares of our common stock or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith must be made through the Formal Exchange Market; all remittances of funds from Chile to the foreign investor upon the sale of shares underlying ADSs (after conversion is implemented through the depositary) or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith must be made through the Formal Exchange Market; and all remittances of funds made to the foreign investor must be reported to the Central Bank by the intervening entity of the Formal Exchange Market. Regarding the remittances of funds indicated above, Chapter XIV and Chilean tax regulation stablishes that all taxes obligations must be paid prior to such remittances.
 
When funds are brought into Chile for a purpose other than to acquire shares for subsequent deposit and eventual conversion into ADSs and subsequently such funds are used to acquire shares to be deposited and converted into ADSs, such investment must be reported to the Central Bank by the foreign investor (or its custodian in Chile) within ten days following the end of each month, using Appendix 3 of the Manual as detailed on its Chapter XIV number 6.
 
When funds to acquire shares of our common stock or to acquire shares for subsequent deposit and eventual conversion into ADSs are received by us abroad (i.e., outside of Chile), such investment must be reported to the Central Bank directly by the foreign investor within ten days following the end of the month in which the investment was made, according to number 2.2 of Chapter XIV of the Manual, using its Appendix N° 4.
 
When funds to acquire shares of our common stock or to acquire shares for subsequent deposit and eventual conversion into ADSs are received by us in Chile, such investment must be reported to the Central Bank directly by an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market on the day the investment is made, according to number 1.2 of Chapter XIV of the Manual.
 
All payments in foreign currency in connection with our shares of common stock or ADSs made from Chile through the Formal Exchange Market must be reported to the Central Bank by the entity participating in the transaction, according to number 4 of Chapter XIV of the Manual. In the event there are payments made with foreign currency originating outside of Chile, the foreign investor must provide the relevant information to the Central Bank directly within the first ten calendar days of the month following the date on which the payment was made, according to number 5 of Chapter XIV of the Manual.
 
There can be no assurance that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of shares of our common stock or ADSs, the disposition of shares of our common stock underlying ADSs or the conversion or repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition will not be imposed in the future, nor can we assess the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed.
 
This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to Chapter XIV of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations, a copy of which is available in Spanish and English versions at the Central Bank’s website at

Taxation
 
Chilean Tax Considerations
 
The following discussion is based on certain Chilean income tax laws presently in effect, including Rulings N°324 of January 29, 1990, and N°3,708 of October 1, 1999 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service and other applicable regulations and rulings currently in force. The discussion summarizes the principal Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs or shares of common stock by an individual who is not domiciled in or a resident of Chile or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment located in Chile which we refer to as a foreign holder. For purposes of Chilean law, an individual holder is a resident of Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six consecutive months in one calendar year or for a total of more than one hundred and eighty-three days in a twelve-month period. An individual holder is domiciled in Chile if he or she resides in Chile with the purpose of staying in Chile (such purpose to be evidenced by circumstances such as the acceptance of employment within Chile or the relocation of his or her family to Chile). This discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation. Neither is it intended to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of shares or ADSs and does address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to specific holders in light of their particular circumstances. Holders of shares and ADSs are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the Chilean or other tax consequences relating to the ownership of shares or ADSs.
 
Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign holders, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may be amended only by another statute. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities issue rulings and regulations of either general or specific application interpreting the provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean taxes may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings and regulations, but Chilean tax authorities may modify said rulings and regulations prospectively. There is a general income tax treaty signed by Chile and the United States, but it is not in force (Congress approval is required).
 
Cash dividends and Other Distributions.
Cash dividends paid by us with respect to the ADSs or shares of common stock held by a foreign holder will be subject to a 35.0% withholding tax, which is withheld and paid by us (the “Chilean Withholding Tax”). A credit against the Chilean Withholding Tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax, or first category tax, actually paid by us on the taxable income to which the dividend is imputed; however, this credit does not reduce the Chilean Withholding Tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Chilean Withholding Tax is imposed. The modifications incorporated to the Chilean income tax law by Act N° 21,210 enacted on February 24, 2021,
provide for taxpayers subject to Article 14 letter A of the Income Tax Law, a First Category Income tax at a rate of 27%.
 
The corporate income tax is a credit for shareholders resident or domiciled in countries that have a Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation in force with Chile that are the effective beneficiaries of the dividends. This benefit is extended to countries that have signed a Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation with Chile before January 1, 2020, even if the Convention has not yet entered into force until December 31, 2026 as a limit. This is the case for the United States of America.
 
For other no resident shareholders, the credit for the corporate tax paid on such income may be used with a limit of 65% of its amount. In these cases, the effective rate is 44.45% from 2018 thereafter.
 
The foregoing tax consequences apply to cash dividends paid by us. Dividend distributions made in property (other than shares of common stock) will be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends.
 
Capital Gains.
Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition by a foreign holder of ADSs (or ADRs evidencing ADSs) will not be subject to Chilean taxation, provided that such disposition occurs outside Chile or that it is performed under the rules of Title XXIV of the Chilean Securities Market Law. The deposit and withdrawal of shares of common stock in exchange for ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes, according to Rulings N° 1,705 of May 15, 2006 and N° 2,144 of October 3, 2013.
 
111
 
Gains obtained from the sale or exchange of shares of common stock (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADSs representing such shares of common stock) by a foreign holder will be generally subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean Withholding Tax at a rate of 35%. Reduced rates may apply for residents of countries that have a Double Tax Treaty in force with Chile, on a case-by-case basis.
 
The tax basis of shares of common stock received in exchange for ADSs will be the acquisition value of such shares. The valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which has been analyzed by the Chilean Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Ruling Nº 324 of 1990, values shares of common stock that are being exchanged at the highest price at which they trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the exchange, generally will determine the acquisition value for this purpose. Consequently, the conversion of ADSs into shares of common stock and sale of such shares of common stock for the value established under the deposit agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile. Ruling N° 324 of 1990 specifically analyzes the tax regime applicable to share transactions held with foreign investors through ADRs.
 
In the case where the sale of the shares is made on a day that is different from the date in which the exchange is recorded, capital gains subject to taxation in Chile may be generated. However, following Ruling N° 3708 of 1999 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service, we will include in the deposit agreement a provision whereby the capital gain that may be generated if the exchange date is different from the date in which the shares received in exchange for ADSs are sold, will not be subject to taxation. Such provision states that in the event that the exchanged shares are sold by the ADS holders in a Chilean stock exchange on the same day in which the exchange is recorded in the shareholders’ registry of the issuer or within two business days prior to the date on which the sale is recorded in the shareholders’ registry, the acquisition price of such exchanged shares shall be the price registered in the invoice issued by the stock broker that participated in the sale transaction.
 
The exercise of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Amounts received for the assignment of preemptive rights relating to the shares will be subject to Chilean Withholding Tax at a rate of 35%.
 
Please bear in mind that the tax treatment just mentioned regarding the ADR could be subject to future modifications, considering that the current tax treatment of ADR is supported in Chilean Internal Revenue Service rulings mentioned above.
 
Pursuant to Article 107 of the Chilean Income Tax Law, the sale and disposition of shares of Chilean public corporations which are actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange is not levied by any Chilean tax on capital gains if the sale or disposition is made:
 
a.
on a local stock exchange authorized by the CMF or in a tender offer process according to Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, so long as the shares (a) were purchased on a public stock exchange or in a tender offer process pursuant to Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, (b) are newly issued shares issued in a capital increase of the corporation, or (c) were the result of the exchange of convertible bonds (in which case the option price is considered to be the price of the shares). In this case, gains exempted from Chilean taxes shall be calculated using the criteria set forth in the Chilean Income Tax Law; or
 
b.
within 90 days after the shares would have ceased to be significantly traded on the stock exchange. In such case, the gains exempted from Chilean taxes on capital gains will be up to the average price per share of the last 90 days. Any gains above the average price obtained by a foreign investor will be subject to Withholding Tax at a rate of 35%.
 
To the extent that our shares are actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange, foreign institutional investors who acquire our shares may benefit from the tax exemption mentioned above.
 
If the requirements to apply the abovementioned exemption are not met, foreign institutional investors that transfer shares of Chilean public corporations which are actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange, investment funds quotas or mutual funds quotas, may apply the exemption established in the abrogated Article 106 of the Income Tax Law, provided that the securities have been acquired prior to January 1, 2017 and the investor, during its operation in the country and the moment of acquisition and disposal of said securities, complies with the requirements established in Article 106.
 
112
 
According to the abrogated Article 106, the disposition must be done through a Chilean stock exchange authorized by the CMF, in a tender offer carried out according to Tittle XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, of through redemption of quotas.
 
In addition, the abrogated Article 106 establishes that a foreign institutional investor is an entity that is either:
 
a.
a fund that makes public offers of its shares in a country which public debt has been rated investment grade by an international risk classification agency qualified by the CMF;
 
b.
a fund that is registered with a regulatory entity of a country which public debt has been rated investment grade by an international risk classification agency qualified by the CMF, provided that the investments in Chile, including securities issued abroad that represent Chilean securities, held by the fund represent less than 30.0% of its share value;
 
c.
a fund that holds investments in Chile that represent less than 30.0% of its share value, provided that it proves that no more that 10.0% of its share value is directly or indirectly owned by Chilean residents;
 
d.
a pension fund that is exclusively formed by individuals that receive their pension on account of capital accumulated in the fund;
 
e.
a fund regulated by Law Nº 18,657, or the Foreign Capital Investment Funds Law, in which case all holders of its shares must reside abroad or be qualified as local institutional investors; or
 
f.
any other institutional foreign investor that complies with the characteristics defined by a regulation with the prior report of the CMF and the Chilean Internal Revenue Service.
 
In order to be entitled to the exemption established in Article 106, foreign institutional investors, during the time in which they operate in Chile must:
 
a.
be organized abroad and not be domiciled in Chile;
 
b.
not participate, directly or indirectly, in the control of the issuers of the securities in which they invest and not hold, directly or indirectly, 10.0% or more of such companies’ capital or profits;
 
c.
execute an agreement in writing with a Chilean bank or securities broker in which the intermediary is responsible for the execution of purchase and sale orders and for the verification, at the time of the respective remittance, that such remittances relate to capital gains that are exempt from income tax in Chile or, if they are subject to income tax, that the applicable withholdings have been made; and
 
d.
register in a special registry with the Chilean Internal Revenue Service.
 
Also, transitional Article 5 of Act N° 20,712 indicates that the funds regulated by Law N° 18,657 (Investments Funds of Foreign Capital) will maintain the applicable tax regime of Article 106. In other words, the distribution abroad of profits obtained by these funds, arising out of the investments described in Article 106, will be exempt from Chilean income tax, as long as they do not transform into one of the funds created by Act. N° 20,712.
 
Other Chilean Taxes.
No Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes apply to the transfer or disposition of the ADSs by a foreign holder but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by a gift of shares of common stock by a foreign holder. No Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties apply to foreign holders of ADSs or shares of common stock.
 
113
 

Withholding Tax Certificates.
Upon request, we will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Chilean Withholding Tax. We will also inform when the withholding was excessive in order to allow the filing for the reimbursement of taxes.
 
In order to comply with our withholding obligations, we may require certificates of residence, affidavits or any other type of documentation aimed to demonstrate the tax residence and effective beneficiary status of the foreign holders.
 
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
 
The following discussion summarizes the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common stock or ADSs by a U.S. holder (as defined below) holding such common stock or ADSs as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations, administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This summary does not describe any implications under U.S. state, local or non-U.S. tax law, or any aspect of U.S. federal tax law (such as the estate tax, gift tax, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on net investment income) other than U.S. federal income taxation.
 
This summary does not purport to address all the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to the U.S. holders of the common stock or ADSs, and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investors, some of which (such as tax-exempt entities, banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, regulated investment companies, real-estate investment trusts, partnerships and other pass-through entities, U.S. expatriates, investors that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our stock by either vote or value, certain taxpayers who file applicable financial statements required to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than when the associated revenue is reflected on such financial statements, investors that hold the common stock or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or constructive sale transaction or other integrated transaction and persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) may be subject to special tax rules.
 
As used below, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of common stock or ADSs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
·
an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
 
·
a corporation (or an entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
 
·
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
 
·
a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
 
If a partnership or other entity taxable as a partnership holds common stock or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships holding common stock or ADSs should consult their tax advisors.
 
In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADRs evidencing ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the common stock represented by those ADSs.
 
114
 
Taxation of Distributions
 
Since January 1
st
, 2017, we are subject to Chile’s Partially Integrated System, which may affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of distributions on our common stock or ADSs. See “Item 10, Additional Information—E. Taxation—Chilean Tax Considerations—Cash dividends and Other Distributions” above. In general, distributions with respect to the common stock or ADSs will, to the extent made from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a distribution exceeds the amount of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as so determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the excess will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the common stock or ADSs, and thereafter as capital gain. We do not intend to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles and, unless and until such calculations are made, U.S. holders should assume all distributions are made out of earnings and profits and constitute dividend income. As used below, the term “dividend” means a distribution that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
The gross amount of any dividends (including amounts withheld in respect of Chilean taxes) paid with respect to the common stock or ADSs generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations. Dividends paid in Chilean currency will be included in the gross income of a U.S. holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividends are actually or constructively received by the U.S. holder, or in the case of dividends received in respect of ADSs, on the date the dividends are actually or constructively received by the depositary or its agent, whether or not converted into U.S. dollars. A U.S. holder will have a tax basis in any distributed Chilean currency equal to its U.S. dollar amount on the date of receipt by the U.S. holder or disposition, as the case may be, and any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent disposition of such Chilean currency generally will be foreign currency gain or loss that is treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If dividends paid in Chilean currency are converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are received by the U.S. holder, the depositary or its agent, as the case may be, U.S. holders generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss if any Chilean currency received by the U.S. holder or the depositary or its agent is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt.
 
Under current law, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends by an individual with respect to the ADSs will be subject to taxation at a reduced rate if the dividends represent “qualified dividend income”. Dividends paid on the ADSs will be treated as qualified dividend income if (i) the ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (ii) the U.S. holder meets the holding period requirement for the ADSs (generally more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date), and (iii) we were not in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”). The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. However, no assurances can be given that the ADSs will be or remain readily tradable. Based on our audited financial statements as well as relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2019 taxable year. In addition, based on our audited financial statements and current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2020 taxable year. Because these determinations are based on the nature of our income and assets from time to time, and involve the application of complex tax rules, no assurances can be provided that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current (or any past or future) tax year.
 
Based on existing guidance, it is not entirely clear whether dividends received with respect to the shares of common stock (to the extent not represented by ADSs) will be treated as qualified dividend income, because the shares of common stock are not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department has announced its intention to promulgate rules pursuant to which holders of ADSs or preferred stock and intermediaries through whom such securities are held will be permitted to rely on certifications from issuers to establish that dividends are treated as qualified dividends. Because such procedures have not yet been issued, we are not certain that we will be able to comply with them. U.S. holders of ADSs and common stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in the light of their own particular circumstances.
 
115
 
Dividends paid by us generally will constitute foreign source “passive category” income and will be subject to various other limitations for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. federal income tax law, Chilean income tax withheld on such dividends, reduced by the credit for any first category tax, as described above under “Item 10, Additional Information—E. Taxation—Chilean Tax Considerations—Cash dividends and Other Distributions”, generally will be treated as a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (or at a U.S. holder’s election if it does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid during the taxable year, all foreign income taxes paid may instead be deducted in computing such U.S. holder’s taxable income). In general, special rules will apply to the calculation of foreign tax credits in respect of dividend income that is subject to preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax.
 
U.S. holders should be aware that the IRS has expressed concern that parties to whom ADSs are released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the discussion above regarding the creditability of Chilean income tax on dividends could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the IRS. The rules with respect to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S. holders of common stock or ADSs are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
 
Taxation of Capital Gains
 
Deposits and withdrawals of common stock by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
In general, gain or loss, if any, realized by a U.S. holder upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of common stock or ADSs will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock or ADSs. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or other taxable disposition the common stock or ADSs have been held for more than one year. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, net long-term capital gain of certain U.S. holders (including individuals) is eligible for taxation at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations under the Code.
 
Gain, if any, realized by a U.S. holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of common stock or ADSs generally will be treated as U.S. source gain for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, if a Chilean income tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of common stock, a U.S. holder that does not receive sufficient foreign source income from other sources may not be able to derive effective U.S. foreign tax credit benefits in respect of such Chilean income tax. Alternatively, a U.S. holder may take a deduction for all foreign income taxes paid during the taxable year if it does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of, common stock or ADSs.
 
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
 
In general, a foreign corporation is a PFIC with respect to a U.S. holder if, for any taxable year in which the U.S. holder holds stock in the foreign corporation, at least 75% of the foreign corporation’s gross income is passive income or at least 50% of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties and gains from the disposition of investment assets (subject to various exceptions). Based upon our current and projected income, assets and activities, we do not expect the common stock or ADSs to be considered shares of a PFIC for our current fiscal year or for future fiscal years. However, because the determination of whether the common stock or ADSs constitute shares of a PFIC will be based upon the composition of our income, assets and the nature of our business, as well as the income, assets and business of entities in which we hold at least a 25% interest, from time to time, and because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, there can be no assurance that the common stock or ADSs will not be considered shares of a PFIC for any fiscal year. If the common stock or ADSs were shares of a PFIC for any fiscal year, U.S. holders (including certain indirect U.S. holders) may be subject to adverse tax consequences, including the possible imposition of an interest charge on gains or “excess distributions” allocable to prior years in the U.S. holder’s holding period during which we were determined to be a PFIC, unless such U.S. holder makes an election to be taxed currently on its pro rata portion of our income, whether or not such income is distributed in the form of dividends, or otherwise makes a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the common stock or ADSs as permitted by the Code. If we are deemed to be a PFIC for a taxable year, dividends on our common stock or ADSs would not be “qualified dividend income” eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation.
 
116
 
A U.S. holder who owns common stock or ADSs during any taxable year that we are a PFIC in excess of certain
de minimis
amounts and fails to qualify for certain other exemptions would be required to file IRS Form 8621. In addition, under certain circumstances, regulations also require a “United States person” (as such term is defined under the Code) that owns an interest in a PFIC as an indirect shareholder through one or more United States persons to file Form 8621 for any taxable year during which such indirect shareholder is treated as receiving an excess distribution in connection with the ownership or disposition of such interest, or reports income pursuant to mark-to-market election. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to the common stock or ADSs.
 
U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
 
A U.S. holder of common stock or ADSs may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding with respect to certain payments to such U.S. holder, such as dividends paid by our Company or the proceeds of a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of common stock or ADSs, unless such U.S. holder (i) is an exempt recipient and demonstrates this fact when so required, or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies that it is a U.S. person and that it is not subject to backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the requisite information is timely furnished to the IRS.
 
“Specified Foreign Financial Asset” Reporting
 
Owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of USD 50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold), may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their U.S. federal income tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” generally include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties and (iii) interests in foreign entities.
 
Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any additional tax consequences resulting from purchasing, holding or disposing of common stock or ADSs, including the applicability and effect of the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, including estate, gift, and inheritance laws.

ITEM 11: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
The following discussion about our risk management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
 
We face primary market risk exposures in three categories: interest rate fluctuations, exchange rate fluctuations and commodity price fluctuations. We periodically review our exposure to the three principal sources of risk described above and determine at our senior-management level how to minimize the impact on our operations of commodity price, foreign exchange and interest rate changes. As part of this review process, we periodically evaluate opportunities to enter into hedging mechanisms to mitigate such risks.
 
The market risk sensitive instruments referred to below are entered into only for purposes of hedging our risks and are not used for trading purposes.
 
A.
Qualitative Information About Market Risk
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no variable interest debt (CLP 8,251 million in 2020).
However, as of December 31, 2020, our financing structure consisted of 2% of debt with variable interest rates, and 98% of debt with fixed interest rates.
 
To manage the interest rate risk, the Company has a policy which seeks to reduce the volatility of our finance cost, and to maintain a suitable percentage of our debt in fixed interest rate instruments. The financial position is mainly set by the use of short-term and long-term debt, as well as derivative instruments such as cross currency interest rate swaps and cross interest rate swaps.
 
As of December 31, 2021, after considering the effect of cross currency interest rate swaps and cross interest rate swaps, 100% (100% as of December 31, 2020) of our debt had fixed interest rates.
 
The terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations as of December 31, 2021, including exchange rates, interest rates, maturities and effective interest rates are detailed in Note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
 
Raw material Price risk
The principal commodity price risk faced by us relate to fluctuations in: 1) prices and supply of barley, malt and cans, which we use for the production of beer, 2) prices of concentrates, sugar and plastic resin, which we use for the production and packaging of soft drinks, and 3) prices of bulk wine and grapes, which we use for the manufacturing of wine and spirits.
 
Barley, malt and cans.
In Chile, we obtain our supply of malt from local producers and in the international market (mainly from Argentina). With local and Argentine producers, the Company enters into long-term supply agreements in which malt price is set annually, using for this purpose the market price of barley and manufacturing cost established in these agreements.
 
118
 
The purchase commitments made expose the Company to raw materials price fluctuation risk. CCU Argentina acquires malt from local producers. These raw materials represent approximately 8% (7% in 2020 and 6% in 2019) of the direct cost of the Chile Operating segment.
 
As of December 31, 2021, in the Chile Operation segment, the cost of cans represented approximately 20% of direct costs (19% in 2020 and 17% in 2019). In the International Business Operating segment, the cost of cans represented approximately 38% of direct raw materials costs as of December 31, 2021 (36% in 2020 and 38% in 2019).
 
Concentrates, Sugar and plastic containers.
The main raw material used in the production of non-alcoholic beverages are concentrates, which are mainly acquired from licensees, sugar and plastic resin for the manufacturing of plastic bottles and containers. The Company is exposed to price fluctuation risks with regard to these raw materials, which jointly represent 30% (24% in 2020 and 31% in 2019) of the direct cost for the Chile Operating segment.
The Company does not engage in hedging raw materials purchases.
 
Grapes and wine.
The main raw materials used by subsidiary VSPT for wine production are grapes harvested from its own vineyards and grapes and wine acquired from third parties through long-term and spot contracts. In the last 12 months, approximately 26% (20% in 2020) of VSPT’s total wine supply came from its own vineyards. Regarding our export market, and considering our focus on this market, approximately 42% (33% in 2020) of our wine supply for export came from our own vineyards.
 
The remaining 74% (80% in 2020) supply was purchased from third parties through long-term and spot contracts. In the last 12 months, the subsidiary VSPT acquired 60% (65% in 2020 and 54% in 2019) of the necessary grapes and wine from third parties through spot contracts. Additionally, the long-term transactions were 15% (16% in 2020 and 19% in 2019) of the total supply.
 
We should consider that as of December 31, 2021, wine represents 60% (59% in 2020 and 60% in 2019) of the total direct cost of the Wine Operating segment, and supplies purchased from third parties represented 36% (38% in 2020 and 33% in 2019).
 
Exchange Rate Risk
 
We are exposed to exchange rate risks originating from: a) our net exposure of foreign currency assets and liabilities, b) exports sales, c) the purchase of raw materials and products and capital investments effected in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies, and d) the net investment of subsidiaries in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, of associated in Peru and of joint venture in Colombia. Our greatest exchange rate risk exposure is the variation of the Chilean peso as compared to the USD, Euro, Argentine peso, Uruguayan peso, Paraguayan Guaraní, Bolivian peso and Colombian peso.
 
As of December 31, 2021, we maintained in Chile foreign currency liabilities amounting to CLP 92,872 million (CLP 101,157 million as of December 31, 2020), mostly denominated in USD. Foreign currency obligations (CLP 12,405 million as of December 31, 2021 and CLP 29,035 million as of December 31, 2020) represent 2% (6% as of December 31, 2020) of total other financial liabilities. The remaining 98% (94% as of December 31, 2020) is mainly denominated in inflation-indexed CLP. In addition, the Company maintains foreign currency assets for CLP 232,289 million (CLP 195,344 million as of December 31, 2020) that mainly correspond to exports in accounts receivable.
 
Regarding the foreign subsidiaries’ operations, the net exposure assets in USD and other currencies amounted to CLP 17,526 million as of December 31, 2021 (CLP 6,411 million as of December 31, 2020).
 
To protect the value of the foreign currency assets and liabilities net position of our Chilean operations, we enter into derivative agreements (currency forwards) to hedge against any variation in the Chilean peso as compared to other currencies.
 
119
 
As of Dec
ember 31, 2021, net exposure in foreign currencies of our Chilean operations, after the use of derivative instruments, is passive in the amount of CLP 4,211 million (passive in CLP 1,452 million as of December 31, 2020).
 
In 2021, of our total sales, 5% (7% in 2020 and 7% in 2019) corresponded to export sales made in foreign currencies, mainly USD, euros and pounds sterling, and of the direct costs, 63% (62% in 2020 and 64% in 2019) correspond to raw material and product purchases in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies. We do not actively hedge the variations in the expected cash flows from such transactions.
 
The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates related to the conversion from the Argentine Peso, the Uruguayan Peso, the Paraguayan Guaraní, the Bolivian Peso and the Colombian Peso to Chilean Pesos with respect to assets, liabilities, income and expenses of its subsidiaries in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia, and a joint venture in Colombia. The Company does not hedge the risks associated to the conversion of its subsidiaries, whose effects are recorded in equity.
 
As of December 31, 2021, the net investment in foreign subsidiaries, associated and joint ventures amounted to CLP 355,274 million, CLP 549 million and CLP 125,296 million, respectively (CLP 238,825 million, CLP 1,338 million and CLP 119,778 million as of December 31, 2020).

Quantitative Information About Market Risk
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity
 
Most of our debt is at a fixed interest rate, so it is not mainly exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. As of December 31, 2021, our interest-bearing debt amounted to CLP
677,324
million (see Note 21 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements included herein), 100% of which was fixed debt and 2% of which was variable-rate debt (without considering the cross currency interest rate swaps and cross interest rate swaps effects).

(*) Weighted average price estimation is calculated based on expected market prices. Prices to be paid by us are adjusted based on current market conditions.
 
As of December 31, 2021, we had malt purchase contracts for USD 57.0 million in Chile, compared with USD 52.0 million as of December 31, 2020.
 
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
 
The major exchange rate risk faced by us is the variation of the Chilean peso against the USD.
 
A portion of our subsidiaries adjusted operating results, assets and liabilities are in currencies that differ from our functional currencies. However, since some of their operating revenues, costs and expenses are in the same currency, this can create a partial natural hedge. For the portion that is not naturally hedged of operations in Chile we enter into derivative agreements (currency forwards) to mitigate any variation in the Chilean peso as compared to other currencies.

Pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, holders of our ADSs may have to pay to JPMorgan, either directly or indirectly, fees or charges up to the amounts set forth in the table below.

The Depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of share distributions, rights and other distributions contemplated by Article IV of the Deposit Agreement prior to such deposit to pay such charge.
 
During each year, the depositary will collect fees of USD 0.05 or less per ADS per calendar year for administering the ADSs, which fee shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions.
 
ADS holders will also be responsible to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the depositary bank and/or any of its agents (including, without limitation, the custodian, and expenses incurred on behalf of holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment), in connection with the servicing of the shares or other deposited securities, the sale of securities, the delivery of deposited securities or otherwise in connection with the Depositary's or its custodian's compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions), and certain taxes and governmental charges such as stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges; cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred upon the transfer of securities; transfer or registration fees for the registration of transfers charged by the registrar and transfer agent; and expenses incurred for converting foreign currency into USD.

Not applicable.

ITEM 15: Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods required and that such information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021 our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
 
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
124
 
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores SpA, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
 
(c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm. See our audited consolidated financial statements included herein.
 
(d) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Except as noted below, during the period ended December 31, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
During 2021 the Company completed the implementation of SAP in its subsidiaries in Chile as its Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) platform. Although this implementation digitized certain accounting activities and allowed for enhanced capabilities within the accounting function, it did not significantly affect the overall controls and procedures followed by us in establishing internal controls over financial reporting. 
 
(e) Whistle-blowing procedure. We have a whistle-blowing procedure which allows any employee of CCU, of its associates or any person, to communicate to a designated person questionable practices or activities that constitute a breach of accounting procedures, internal controls, audit matters and the Code of Business Conduct.
 
ITEM 16A: Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
At the board of directors’ meeting held on April 14, 2021, the board of directors appointed directors Messrs. Vittorio Corbo and Carlos Molina to our audit committee, both of whom meet the independence criteria under the Exchange Act and under the NYSE Rules. The board of directors also resolved that directors Messrs. José Miguel Barros and Francisco Pérez shall participate in the audit committee’s meetings as observers.
 
We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee, as such term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we are not required to appoint one under Chilean law.
 
ITEM 16B: Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to all of our executive officers and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct is available on our website at
www.ccu.cl
or
www.ccuinvestor.com
. Our code of ethics was updated on March 4, 2014 and no waivers, either explicit or implicit, of provisions of the code of ethics have been granted to the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
 
In December 2013, we adopted a Code of Conduct of the board of directors that applies to all of the members of our board of directors, which was updated in July and December 2015. This Code of Conduct is available on our website at
www.ccu.cl
or
www.ccuinvestor.com
. The Code of Conduct sets forth certain basic principles intended to guide the actions of our directors, as well as certain procedures, policies and corporate governance best practices. The Code of Conduct covers matters of confidentiality, access to independent experts, and orientation of newly elected directors and review of information regarding candidates for election to the board of directors. The Code of Conduct also establishes rules and procedures regarding conflicts of interest. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.

General summary of significant differences with regard to corporate government standards
 
The following paragraphs provide a brief, general summary of significant differences between corporate government practices followed by us pursuant to our home-country rules and those applicable to U.S. domestic issuers under NYSE listing standards.
 
Composition of the board of directors; independence
.
The NYSE listing standards provide that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors and that certain board committees must consist solely of independent directors. Under NYSE rule 303A.02, a director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that such director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the NYSE listing standards enumerate a number of relationships that preclude independence.
 
Under the Chilean Corporations Act an open stock corporation must have at least one independent director (out of a minimum of seven directors) when its market capitalization reaches or exceeds UF 1.5 million (as of March 31, 2022 approximately CLP 47,592 million) and at least 12.5% of its outstanding shares with voting rights are in the possession of shareholders that individually control or possess less than 10% of such shares. In addition, the Chilean Corporations Act enumerates a number of relationships that preclude independence. Chilean law also establishes a number of principles of general applicability designed to avoid conflicts of interests and to establish standards for related party transactions. Specifically, directors elected by a group or class of shareholders have the same duties to the company and to the other shareholders as the rest of the directors, and all transactions with the company in which a director has an interest must be in the interest of and for the benefit of the company, relative in price, terms and conditions to those prevailing in the market at the time of its approval and comply with the requirements and procedures set forth in Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions”. Additionally, pursuant to the Chilean Corporations Act, as amended by Law N° 21,314 published on April 13, 2021, the powers and duties of the directors’ committee currently include to propose to the board of directors a general policy for managing conflicts of interest. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees – C. Board Practices – Directors’ Committee”.
 
Furthermore, such transactions must be reviewed by the directors’ committee (as defined below); they require prior approval by the board of directors and must be disclosed at the next meeting of shareholders, unless such transactions fall within one of the exemptions contemplated by the Chilean Corporations Act or, if applicable, included in the usual practice policy approved by the board of directors. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions”. Pursuant to NYSE rule 303A.00, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to have a majority of independent directors.
 
Committees
.
The NYSE listing standards require that listed companies have a nominating/corporate governance committee, a compensation committee and an audit committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified by the listing standards.
 
Under Chilean law, the only board committee that is required is the directors’ committee (
comité de directores
), composed of three members, such committee having a direct responsibility to (a) review the company’s financial statements and the independent auditors’ report and issue an opinion on such financial statements and report prior to their submission for shareholders’ approval, (b) propose to the board of directors the independent accountants and the risk rating agencies, which the board must then propose to the shareholders, (c) review related party transactions, and issue a report on such transactions, (d) to propose to the board of directors a general policy for managing conflicts of interest  and issue an opinion regarding the general usual practice policies established pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 147 of Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act, (e) review the managers, principal executive officers’ and employees’ compensation policies and plans; (f) to prepare an annual report of the performance of its duties, including the principal recommendations to shareholders; (g) advise the board of directors as to the suitability of retaining non-audit services from its external auditors, if the nature of such services could impair their independence; and (h) perform other duties as defined by the company’s bylaws, by a shareholders’ meeting or by the board. Requirements to be deemed an independent director are set forth in “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees – C. Board Practices – Directors’ Committee”.
 
127
 
Pursuant to NYSE Rule 303A.06, we must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act by July 31, 2005. At the board of directors´ meeting held on April 14, 2021, following the election of a new board at the shareholders´ meeting held the same date, the board of directors appointed directors Messrs. Vittorio Corbo and Carlos Molina to our audit committee. Mr. Corbo and Mr. Molina meet the independence criteria under the Exchange Act and under the NYSE Rules. The board of directors also resolved that directors Messrs. José Miguel Barros and Francisco Pérez shall participate in the audit committee’s meetings as observers.
 
Shareholder approval of equity-compensation plans
.
Under NYSE listing standards, shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exemptions. An “equity-compensation plan” is a plan or other arrangement that provides for the delivery of equity securities of the listed company to any employee, director or other service provider as compensation for services.
 
Under Chilean law, if previously approved by shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, up to ten percent of a capital increase in a publicly traded company may be set aside to fund equity-compensation plans for the company’s employees and/or for the employees of the company’s subsidiaries. Pursuant to NYSE rule 303A.00, as a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to comply with the NYSE listing standards with respect to shareholder approval of equity-compensation plans.
 
Corporate Governance Guidelines
.
The NYSE listing standards provide that listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines with regard to (a) director qualifications standards; (b) director responsibilities; (c) director access to management and independent advisors; (d) director compensation; (e) director orientation and continuing education; (f) management succession; and (g) annual performance evaluations of the board.
 
Chilean law does not require that such corporate governance guidelines be adopted. Director responsibilities and access to management and independent advisors are directly provided for by applicable law. Director compensation is determined by the annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to applicable law. As a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to adopt corporate governance guidelines. Pursuant to CMF rules the company is only required to disclose whether or not it has adopted corporate governance guidelines regarding, among others, the matters referred to above
,
 and that, pursuant to CMF´s General Rule N° 461 of 2021, will be required to be made in its annual report to be published in 2023, corresponding to fiscal year ended December 31, 2022
.
 
Nonetheless, Law N° 21,314 published on April 13, 2021, which amended the Chilean Corporations Act, provides that the board of directors of the parent company of a company that is subject to CMF supervision shall establish and communicate a general policy relating to the election of directors in its subsidiaries; such policy will contain, at a minimum the information required by means of a general regulation to be issued by the CMF.
 
Code of Business Conduct
.
The NYSE listing standards require that listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.
 
We have adopted a code of business conduct that applies generally to all of our executive officers and employees. A copy of the code of business conduct, as amended, is available on our website at www.ccu.cl or www.ccuinvestor.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
 
We have also adopted a code of conduct that applies to all members of our board of directors. A copy of this code is available on our website at www.ccu.cl or www.ccuinvestor.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
 
128
 
 
Manual of Information of Interest to the Market
. In 2008, the SVS (currently “Comisión para el Mercado Financiero”, or “CMF”) promulgated new rules which required publicly traded companies to adopt a manual regarding disclosure of information of interest to the market, board members and executives shares transactions and blackout periods for such transactions. This manual applies to our directors, the directors of our subsidiaries, our executive officers, some of our employees which may be in possession of confidential, reserved or privileged information of interest, and to our advisors. The manual became effective on June 1, 2008. A copy of the manual regarding disclosure of information of interest to the market, as amended on March 18, 2010 and March 4, 2020, is available in our website at
www.ccu.cl
or
www.ccuinvestor.com
. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report.

Pursuant to Law N° 21,314 published on April 13, 2021, which amended the Chilean Corporations Act, without prejudice to the policies adopted by each issuer, the directors, managers, administrators and principal executive officers of an issuer of publicly traded securities, as well as their spouses, cohabitants and certain close relatives (i.e. parents, father/mother in law, sisters, brothers, sisters/brothers in law), may not carry out, directly or indirectly, transactions on the securities issued by the issuer, within thirty days prior to the disclosure of the quarterly or annual financial statements of the latter. Additionally, such issuers must always publish the date on which their next financial statements will be disclosed, at least thirty days prior to such disclosure.

Executive Sessions
. To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, NYSE listing standards provide that non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
 
Under Chilean law, the office of director is not legally compatible with that of general manager in publicly traded companies. The board of directors exercises its functions as a collective body and may partially delegate its powers to executive officers, attorneys, a director or a board commission of the company, and for specific purposes to other persons. As a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to comply with the NYSE listing standard for executive sessions.

Certification Requirements
. Under NYSE listing standards, Section 303A.12(a) provides that each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards, and Section 303A.12(b) provides that each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.
 
As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with Section 303A.12(b) of the NYSE listing standards, but we are not required to comply with 303A.12(a).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A.
 
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows  for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).  We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. 
 
Basis for Opinions
 
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters
 
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates
 
Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Life (Trademarks) and Goodwill Impairment Assessment
 
As described in Notes 2.15, 2.16, 17 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated intangible assets with indefinite useful life (trademarks) and goodwill balances, at December 31, 2021, were ThCh$ 121,643,175 and ThCh$ 131,172,835, respectively. Management conducts an impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The value in use is determined by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management’s cash flow projections included significant judgments and assumptions relating to perpetual growth rates and discount rates.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the intangible assets with indefinite useful life (trademarks) and goodwill impairment assessment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the value-in-use calculation of the cash generating units; (ii)  a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s cash flow projections and significant assumptions related perpetual growth rates and discount rates; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
 
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s intangible assets with indefinite useful life (trademarks) and goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Company’s cash generating units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the estimate; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the perpetual growth rates and discount rates. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the revenue growth rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the cash generating units, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the discount rates assumptions.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021
 
The Company’s functional currency and presentation currency is the Chilean peso, except for some subsidiaries in Chile, Argentine, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia that use the US Dollar, Argentine peso, Uruguayan Peso, Paraguayan guaraní and Bolivian, respectively. The functional currency of joint operations in Colombia and associates in Perú, are the Colombian peso and the Sol, respectively. However they use the Chilean peso as the presentation currency for consolidation purposes.
 
Subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the Chilean peso and are not a currency from a country which economy has been classified as hyperinflationary, have converted their financial statement from their functional currency to the Group’s presentation currency, which is the Chilean peso. The following exchange rates have been used: for the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, net at the year-end exchange rate, and for the Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows at the transaction date exchange rate or at the average monthly exchange rate, as appropriate. For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from the Chilean peso, are translated into Chilean pesos using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements while the Gains (losses) on exchange differences caused by the conversion of assets and liabilities are recorded in the Conversion Reserves account under Other equity reserves. Income, costs and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rate for the respective periods. These exchange rates have not undergone significant fluctuations during the year, with the exception of subsidiaries in hyperinflationary economies. (See
Note 2 –Summary of significant accounting policies, (2.4)
).

2.2
         
Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries
 
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has power to direct their financial and operating policies, which generally is the result of ownership of more than half of the voting rights. When assessing whether the Company controls another entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently liable to be exercised at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements is considered. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control was obtained by the Company, and are excluded from consolidation as of the date the Company loses such control.

T
he acquisition method is used for the accounting of acquisition of subsidiaries. The acquisition cost is the fair value of the assets delivered, of the equity instruments issued and of the liabilities incurred or assumed as of the exchange date. The identifiable assets acquired, as well as the identifiable liabilities and contingencies assumed in a business combination are initially valued at their fair value on the acquisition date, regardless the scope of minority interests.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized as income.

Joint operations
As explained in
Note 1- General information
, for the joint arrangements that qualify as joint operations, the Company recognizes its share of the assets, liabilities and income in respect to its interest in the joint operations in accordance with IFRS 11.

Intercompany transaction
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains from transactions between the Company’s entities are eliminated in consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Whenever necessary, the accounting policies of subsidiaries are amended to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company.
 
Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest is presented in the Equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The net income attributable to equity holder of the parent and non-controlling interest are each disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income after net income.

Investments accounted for using the equity method
 
Joint ventures and associates
The Company maintains investments in joint arrangements that qualify as joint ventures, which correspond to a contractual agreement by which two or more parties carry out an economic activity that is subject to joint control, and normally involves the establishment of a separate entity in which each party has a share based on a shareholders’ agreement. In addition, the Company maintains investments in associates which are defined as entities in which the investor does not have significant influence and are not a subsidiary or a joint venture.
The Company accounts for its participation in joint arrangements that qualify as joint ventures and in associates using the equity method. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same year, under accounting policies consistent with those of the Company. Adjustments are made to agree any difference in accounting policies that may exist with the Company’s accounting policies.
Whenever the Company contributes or sells assets to companies under joint control or associates, any income or loss arising from the transaction is recognized based on how the asset is realized. When the Company purchases assets from those companies, it does not recognize its share in the income or loss of the joint venture in respect to such transaction until the asset is sold or realized.
2.3
         
Financial information as per operating segments
The Company has defined three operating segments which are essentially defined with respect to its revenues in the geographic areas of commercial activity: 1.- Chile, 2.- International business and 3.- Wine.
These operating segments mentioned are consistent with the way the Company is managed and how results will be reported by CCU. These segments reflect separate operating results which are regularly reviewed by chief operating decision maker in order to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance
(See
Note 6 - Financial information as per operating segment
).
The segments performance is measured according to several indicators, of which OR (Adjust Operating Result), OR before Exceptional Items (EI), ORBDA (Adjust Operating Result Before Depreciation and Amortization), ORBDA before EI, ORBDA margin (ORBDA’s % of total revenues for the operating segment), the volumes and Net sales. Sales between segments are conducted using terms and conditions at current market rates.
The Company defined the Adjusted Operating Result as the Net incomes (losses) before Other gains (losses), Net financial cost, Equity and income from joint ventures and associates, Gains (losses) on exchange differences, Results as per adjustment units and Income tax, and the ORBDA, for the Company purposes, is defined as Adjusted Operating Result before Depreciation and Amortization.
MSD&A, included Marketing, Selling, Distribution and Administrative expenses.
Corporate revenues and expenses are presented separately within the other.
2.4
         
Foreign currency and
adjustment unit
s
 
Presentation and functional currency
The Company uses the Chilean peso (Ch$ or CLP) as its functional currency and for the presentation of its financial statements. The functional currency has been determined considering the economic environment in which the Company carries out its operations and the currency in which the main cash flows are generated. The functional currency of the Argentinian, Uruguayan, Paraguayan and Bolivian subsidiaries is the Argentine Peso, Uruguayan Peso, Paraguayan Guarani and Bolivian, respectively. The functional currency of the joint venture in Colombia and associate in Perú is the Colombian Peso and Sol, respectively.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies and adjustment units (“Unidad de Fomento” or “UF”) are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustment unit as of the date on which the transaction occurs. The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is a Chilean inflation-indexed peso-denominated monetary unit. The UF rate is set daily in advance based on changes in the previous month’s inflation rate. At the close of each Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and adjustment units are translated into Chilean pesos at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustment unit. The Gains (losses) on exchange differences arising, both from the liquidation of foreign currency transactions, as well as from the valuation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities, are included in the Statement of income, in Gains (losses) on exchange differences, while the difference arising from the changes in adjustment units are recorded in the Statement of income as Result as per adjustment units.

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
 
 
For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from the Chilean peso and not operating in countries whose economy is considered hyperinflationary, are translated into Chilean pesos using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Gains (losses) on exchange differences originated by the conversion of assets and liabilities, are recorded under Reserve of exchange differences on translation within Other equity reserves. Incomes, costs and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rate for the respective fiscal years. These exchange rates have not suffered significant fluctuations during these months.
The results and financial situation in CCU Group's entities which have a functional currency different from the presentation currency being their functional currency, the currency of a hyperinflationary economy (as the case of subsidiaries in Argentina as from 1 July 2018 as described below) are converted into the presentation currency as established in IAS 21 and IAS 29.
 
Financial information in hyperinflationary economies
Inflation in Argentina has shown significant increases since the beginning of 2018. The three-year cumulative inflation rate, calculated using different combinations of consumer price indices, has exceeded 100% for several months, and it is still increasing. The three-year cumulative inflation calculated using the general price index has already exceeded 100%. Therefore, as prescribed by IAS 29, Argentina was declared a hyperinflationary economy as of July 1, 2018.
In accordance with the foregoing, IAS 29 must be applied by all those entities whose functional currency is the Argentine peso for the accounting periods ended after July 1, 2018, as if the economy had always been hyperinflationary. In this regard, IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary country be restated in terms of the purchasing power in force at the end of the reporting period. This implies that the restatement of non-monetary items must be made from their date of origin, last restatement, appraisal or other particular date in some very specific cases.
The adjustment factor used in each case is that obtained based on the combined index of the National Consumer Price Index (CPI), with the Wholesale Price Index (IPIM), published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census of the Argentinian Republic (INDEC), according to the series prepared and published by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE).
For consolidation purposes, subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Argentine peso, paragraph 43 of IAS 21 has been considered which requires that the financial statements of a subsidiary that has the functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in accordance with IAS 29 before being converted at the closing exchange rate on the reporting date and to be included in the consolidated financial statements.
The re-expression of non-monetary items is made from the date of initial recognition in the statements of financial position and considering that the financial statements are prepared under the criteria of historical cost.
Hyperinflation re-expression will be recorded until the period in which the entity's economy ceases to be considered a hyperinflationary economy; at that time, adjustments made by hyperinflation will be part of the cost of non-monetary assets and liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents includes available cash, bank balances, time deposits at financial entities, investments in mutual funds and financial instruments acquired under resale agreements, as well as highly liquid short-term investments, all at a fixed interest rate, normally with original maturity of up to three months.
 
2.6
         
Other financial assets
 
Other financial assets include money market securities, derivative contracts with financial institutions and time deposits with maturities of more than 90 days.
 
2.7
         
Financial instruments
 
IFRS 9 - Financial instruments, replaces the IAS 39 - Financial instruments, for the annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018 and which brings together three aspects of accounting and which are: classification and measurement; impairment and hedge accounting.
 
Financial assets
 
The Company recognizes a financial asset in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as follows:
 
As of the date of initial recognition, management classifies its financial assets: (i) at fair value through profit and loss (ii) Trade and other current receivables and (iii) hedging derivatives. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. For instruments not classified at fair value through Income, any cost attributable to the transaction is recognized as part of the asset’s value.
 
The fair value of instruments that are actively traded in formal markets is determined by the traded price on the financial statement closing date. For investments without an active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques including (i) the use of recent market transactions, (ii) references to the current market value of another financial instrument of similar characteristics, (iii) discounted cash flows and (iv) other valuation models.
 
After initial recognition, the Company values the financial assets as described below:
 
Trade and other current receivables
 
Trade receivable credits or accounts are recognized according to their invoice value.
 
The Company purchases credit insurance covering approximately 90% and 99% of individually significant accounts receivable balances for the domestic market and the international market, of total trade receivable, respectively, net of a 10% deductible.
 
An impairment of
accounts receivable balances
is recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company not will be capable to collect amounts according to the original terms. Some indicators that an account receivable has impairment are the financial problems, initiation of a bankruptcy, financial restructuring and age of the balances of our customers.
 
Estimated losses from bad debts is measured in an amount equal to the "expectations of credit losses", using the simplified approach established in IFRS 9 and in order to determine whether or not there is impairment from portfolio, a risk analysis is carried out according to the historical experience (three years) on the uncollectibility, also considering other factors of aging until reaching 100% of the balance in most of the debts older than 180 days, with the exception of those cases that in accordance with current policies, losses are estimated due to partial deterioration based on a case by case analysis.
 
The Company considers that these financial assets are past-due when: i) The debtor is unlikely to pay its obligations and the Company it hasn’t still taken actions such as to claim the credit insurance, or ii) The financial asset has exceeded the contractually agreed expiration date.
 
a) Measurement of expected loss
 
The Expected Credit Loss corresponds to the probability of credit losses according to recent history considering the uncollectability of the last three mobile years. These historical indices are adjusted according to the monthly payment and amount of the different historical trade receivables. Additionally, the portfolio is analyzed according to its solvency probability for the future, its recent financial history and market conditions, to determine the category of the client, for the constitution of impairment in relation to its defined risk.

b) Credit impairment
On each issuing date of the Financial Statements, the Company evaluates if these financial assets measured at amortized cost have credit impairment. A financial asset has a "credit impairment" when one or more events occur that have a detrimental impact on the estimation of future cash flows. Additionally, the Company includes information on the effects of modifications to the contractual effective flows (repactations), which are minor and correspond to specific cases with strategic clients of the Company.
Additionally, the company maintains credit insurance for individually significant accounts receivable. Impairment losses are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period incurred.
Current trade receivable credits and accounts are initially recognized at their nominal value and are not discounted The Company has determined that the calculation of the amortized cost is not materially different from the invoiced amount because the transactions do not have significant associated costs.
 
Financial liabilities
The Company recognizes a financial liability in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as follows:
Interest-bearing loans and financial obligations
 
Interest-bearing loans and financial obligations are initially recognized at the fair value of the resources obtained, less incurred costs that are directly attributable to the transaction. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and obligations are measured at amortized cost. The difference between the net amount received and the value to be paid is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income over the term of the loan, using the effective interest rate method.
Interest paid and accrued related to loans and obligations used to finance its operations are presented under finance costs.
Interest-bearing loans and obligations maturing within twelve months are classified as current liabilities, unless the Company has the unconditional right to defer payment of the obligation for at least a twelve months after the closing date of the Consolidated Financial Statement.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognized at nominal value because they do not differ significantly from their fair value. The Company has determined that no significant differences exist between the carrying value and amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
 
Derivative Instruments
 
All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value as of the date of the derivative contract and subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Gains and losses resulting from fair value measurement are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income as gains or losses due to fair value of financial instruments, unless the derivative instrument is designated as a hedging instrument.
Financial Instruments at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets classified as held for trading and financial assets which have been designated as such by the Company. Financial assets are classified as held for trading when acquired for the purpose of selling them in the short term. The fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Other gains (losses).  The fair value of these derivatives is recorded under Other financial assets and Other financial liabilities.
Derivative instruments classified as hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
In order to classify a derivative as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes, the Company documents (i) as of the transaction date or at designation time, the relationship or correlation between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management purposes and strategies, (ii) the assessment, both at designation date as well as on a continuing basis, whether the derivative instrument used in the hedging is highly transaction effective to offset changes in inception  cash flows of the hedged item.
A hedge is considered effective when changes in the cash flows of the underlying directly attributable to the risk hedged are offset with the changes in fair value, or in the cash flows of the hedging instrument with effectiveness between 80% to 125%
.
F-32
 
 
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
 
 
The total fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as assets or financial liabilities in Other non-current if the maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and as other assets or current liabilities if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. The ineffective portion of these instruments can be viewed in Other gains (losses) of the Consolidated Statements of Income. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are initially recognized in Cash Flow Hedge Reserve in a separate component of Equity. The income or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The amounts accumulated in Equity are reclassified in Income during the same period in which the corresponding hedged item is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Income. When a cash flow hedge ceases to comply with the hedge accounting criteria, any accumulated income or loss existing in Equity remains in Equity and is recognized when the expected transaction is finally recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. When it is estimated that an expected transaction will not occur, the accumulated gain or loss recorded in Equity is immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Derivative instruments are classified as held for trading unless they are classified as hedge instruments.
 
Deposits for returns of bottles and containers
 
Deposits for returns of bottles and containers corresponds to the liabilities registered by the guarantees of money received from customers for bottles and containers placed at their disposal and represents the value that will be returned to the customer when it returns the bottles to the Company in good condition along with the original invoice. This value is determined by the estimation of the bottles and containers in circulation that are expected to be returned to the Company in the course of time based on the historic experience, physical counts held by clients and independent studies over the quantities that are in the hands of end consumers, valued at the average weighted guarantees for each type of bottles and containers.
The Company does not intend to make significant repayment of these deposits within the next 12 months. Such amounts are classified within current liabilities, under the line Other financial liabilities, since the Company does not have the legal ability to defer this payment for a period exceeding 12 months. This liability is not discounted, since it is considered a payable on demand, with the original invoice and the return of the respective bottles and containers and it does not have adjustability or interest clauses of any kind in its origin.
2.8
         
Financial asset impairment
As of each financial statement date the Company assesses whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
The Company assesses impairment of accounts receivable collectively by grouping the financial assets according to similar risk characteristics, which indicate the debtor’s capacity to comply with their obligations under the agreed upon conditions. When there is objective evidence that a loss due to impairment has been incurred in the accounts receivable, the loss amount is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as Administrative expenses.
If the impairment loss amount decreases during subsequent periods and such decrease can be objectively related to an event occurred after recognition of the impairment, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed.
Any subsequent impairment reversal is recognized in Income provided that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its value as of the date the impairment was recognized.
2.9
         
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost acquisition or production cost and net realizable value. The production cost of finished products and of products under processing includes raw material, direct labor, indirect manufacturing expenses based on a normal operational capacity and other costs incurred to place the products at the locations and in the conditions necessary for sale, net of discounts attributable to inventories.
The net realizable value is the estimated sale price in the normal course of business, less marketing and distribution expenses. When market conditions cause the production cost to be higher than its net realizable value, an allowance for assets deterioration is registered for the difference in value. This allowance for inventory deterioration also includes amounts related to obsolete items due to low turnover, technical obsolescence and products withdrawn from the market.
F-33
 
 
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
 
 
The inventories and cost of products sold, is determined using the Weighted Average Cost (WAC). The Company estimates that most of the inventories have a high turnover.
The materials and raw materials purchased from third parties are valued at their acquisition cost; once used, they are incorporated in finished products using the WAC methodology.
2.10
         
Current biological assets
Under current Biological assets, the Company includes the costs associated with agricultural activities (grapes), which are capitalized up to the harvesting date, when they become part of the inventory cost for subsequent processes. The Company considers that the costs associated with agricultural activities represent a reasonable approximation to their fair value.
2.11
         
Other non-financial assets
Other non-financial assets mainly includes prepayments associated with advertising related to contracts regarding the making of commercials which are work in progress and have not yet been shown (current and non-current), payments to insurances and advances to suppliers in relation with certain purchases of property, plant and equipment. Additionally paid guarantees related with leases and materials to be consumed related to industrial safety implements.
2.12
         
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment items are recorded at their historic cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost includes both disbursements directly attributable to the asset acquisition or construction, as well as the financing interest directly related to certain qualified assets, which are capitalized during the construction or acquisition period, as long as these assets qualify for these purposes considering the period necessary to complete and prepare the assets to be operative. Disbursements after the purchase or acquisition are only capitalized when it is likely that the future economic benefits associated to the investment will flow to the Company, and costs may be reasonably measured. Subsequent disbursements related to repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses when incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment items, including assets under financial lease, is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment items, taking into account their estimated residual value. When an asset is formed by significant components with different useful lives, each part is separately depreciated. Property, plant and equipment useful lives and residual values estimates are reviewed and adjusted at each financial statement closing date, if necessary.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are detailed as follows:
Type of Assets
Number of years
Land
Indefinite
Buildings and Constructions
20 to 60
Machinery and equipment
10 to 25
Fumiture and accesories
5 to 10
Other equipment (coolers and mayolicas)
5 to 8
Glass containers, and plastic containers
3 to 12
Vines in production
30
 
 
Gains
and losses resulting from the sale of properties, plants and equipment are calculated comparing their book values against the related sales proceeds and are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Biological assets held by Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. (VSPT) and its subsidiaries consist of vines in formation and in production. Harvested grapes are used for subsequent wine production.
F-34
 
 
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Vines under production are valued at the historic cost, less depreciation and any impairment loss.
Depreciation of vines in production is recorded using the straight-line method over the 30-year estimated average production life, which is periodically assessed. Vines in formation are not depreciated until they start producing.
Costs incurred in acquiring and planting new vines are capitalized.
When the carrying amount of a property, plant and equipment item exceeds its recoverable value, it is immediately written down to its recoverable amount (See
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies 2.17
).
2.13
         
Leases
Lease contracts are recorded by recognizing an asset for the right to use the assets subject to operational lease contracts recorded under Right of use assets and a liability recorded under Current lease liabilities, which are equivalent to the present value of the payments associated to the contract. It should be noted that the assets and liabilities arising from a lease contract are initially measured at its present value.
Regarding the effects on the Consolidated Statement of Income, the depreciation of the right of use is recognized on a monthly basis using the straight-line method over the lease term, together with the financial cost associated to the lease; both are recognized in our P&L during the lease period in order to produce a constant periodic interest rate over the remaining balance of the liability. In case of modifications to the lease agreement, such as lease value, maturity, readjustment index, associated interest rate, etc., the lessee recognizes the amount of the new measurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the asset for the right of use.
Prior to the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company classified leases as finance leases when all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the assets were substantially transferred. All other leases were considered as operational. The assets acquired through financial leasing were recorded as non-current assets, initially being valued at the present value of future minimum payments or at their fair value if lower, reflecting in the liability the debt with the lessee. In this scenario the payments were accounted as the payments of the debt plus the corresponding financial cost, which is accounted as the financial cost of the period. In case of operating leases, the expense was accounted based on the duration of the lease agreement for the value of the accrued service.
2.14
         
Investment properties assets
Investment property consist of land and buildings held by the Company for the purpose of generating appreciation and not to be used in the normal course of business, and are recorded at historical cost less any impairment loss. Depreciation of investment property, excluding land, is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, taking into account their estimated residual value.
2.15
         
Intangible assets
other than goodwill
Commercial trademarks
The Company’s commercial trademarks are intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are presented at historical cost, less any impairment loss. The Company believes that through investing in marketing, trademarks maintain their value, consequently they are considered as having indefinite useful lives and they are not amortizable. These assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate  potential impairment (See
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies 2.17
).
 
Software program
 
Software program licenses are capitalized at the value of the costs incurred in their acquisition and in preparing the software for use. Such costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (4 to 7 years). The maintenance costs of software programs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.
Water rights
 
Water rights acquired by the Company correspond to the right to use existing water from natural sources, and are recorded at their attributed cost as of the date of transition to IFRS. Since such rights are perpetual they are not amortizable, however they are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate potential impairment (See
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies 2.17
).

Distribution rights
 
Corresponds to rights acquired to distribute different products. These rights are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 
Research and development
 
Research and development expenses are recognized in the period incurred.
2.16
         
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquire over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured at fair value is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income. Godwill is accounted for at its cost value less accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of a business combination. Each unit or group of units   (See
Note 18 - Goodwill
) to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which is not larger than a business segment. The CGUs to which the goodwill is assigned are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell.
An impairment loss is first allocated to goodwill to reduce its carrying amount, and then to other assets in the CGU. Once recognized, impairment losses are not subsequently reversed.
Goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in a joint venture is not separately recognized. The entire carrying amount of the investment in joint venture is assessed for impairment as a single asset provided that there are indications that the investment may be impaired.
 
2.17
       
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill
The Company annually assesses the existence of non-financial asset impairment indicators. When indicators exist, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the impaired asset. If it cannot estimate the recoverable amount of the impaired asset at an individual level, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
For intangible assets with indefinite useful lives which are not amortized, the Company performs all required testing to ensure that the carrying amount does not exceed the recoverable value.
The recoverable value is defined as the fair value, less selling cost or value in use, whichever is higher. Value in use is determined by estimating future cash flows associated to the asset or to the cash generating unit, discounted from its current value by using interest rates before taxes, which reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the Company records an impairment loss in the Statement of Income.
For the rest of non-financial assets other than goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives, the Company assesses the existence of impairment indicators when an event or change in business circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable and impairment is recognized when the carrying amount is higher than the recoverable value.
F-36
 
 
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
 
 
The Company annually assesses whether the impairment indicators of non-financial assets for which impairment losses were recorded during prior years have disappeared or decreased. In the event of such situation, the recoverable amount of the specific asset is recalculated and its carrying amount is increased, if necessary. Such increase is recognized in the Statement of Income as reversal of impairment losses. The increase in the value of the previously impaired asset is recognized only when it is originated by changes in the assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount. The increase in the asset due to reversal of the impairment loss is limited to the amount that would have been recorded had the impairment not occurred.
2.18
         
Non-current assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale
The Company register as non-current assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale as Property, plant and equipment expected to be sale, for which active sale negotiations have begun.
These assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the estimated fair value, less selling costs. From the moment in which the assets are classified as non-current assets of disposal group classified held for sale they are no longer depreciated.
2.19
         
Income tax
es
The income tax account is composed of current income tax associated to legal income tax obligations and deferred taxes recognized in accordance with IAS 12. Income tax is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income by Function, except when it is related to items recorded directly in Equity, in which case the tax effect is also recognized in Equity.
 
Income Tax Obligation
Income tax obligations are recognized in the financial statements on the basis of the best estimates of taxable profits as of the financial statement closing date, and the income tax rate valid as of that date in the countries where the Company operates.
 
Deferred Tax
 
Deferred taxes are those the Company expects to pay or to recover in the future, due to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities (carrying amount for financial reporting purposes) and the corresponding tax basis of such assets and liabilities used to determine the profits subject to taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are generally recognized for all temporary differences, and they are calculated at the rates that will be valid on the date the liabilities are paid or the assets realized.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except in cases where the Company is able to control the date on which temporary differences will be reversed, and it is likely that they will not be reverted in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax losses are recognized provided it is likely that in the future there will be taxable profits against which deductible temporary differences can be offset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legal right to offset tax assets against tax liabilities, and the deferred tax is related to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.
2.20
         
Employees benefits
Employees Vacation
The Company accrues the expense associated with staff vacation when the employee earns the benefit.
Employees Bonuses
The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses when it’s contractually obligated, it is estimated that, depending on the income requirement at a given date, bonuses will be paid out at the end of the year.
Severance Indemnity
 
The Company recognizes a liability for the payment of irrevocable severance indemnities, originated from the collective and individual agreements entered into with employees. Such obligation is determined based on the actuarial value of the accrued cost of the benefit, a method which considers several factors in the calculation, such as estimates of future continuance, mortality rates, future salary increases and discount rates. The determined value is shown at its present value by using the accrued benefits for years of service method. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest rates curves. The current losses and gains are directly recorded in Income.
F-37
 
 
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
 
 
According to the amendment of IAS 19, the actuarial gains and losses are recognized directly in Other Comprehensive Income, under Equity and, according to the accounting policies of the Company, financial costs related to the severance indemnity are directly recorded under financial cost in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
2.21
         
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Company has a current legal or implicit obligation, as a result of past events, (ii) it is probable that monetary resources will be required to settle the obligation and (iii) the amounts can be reasonably established. The amounts recognized as provisions as of the financial statement closing date, are Management’s best estimates, and consider the necessary disbursements to liquidate the obligation.
The concepts used by the Company to establish provisions charged against income correspond mainly to civil, labor and taxation proceedings that could affect the Company (See
Note 24 - Other provisions
).
 
2.22
         
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when it is likely that economic benefits will flow to the Company and these can be reliably measured. Income is measured at the fair value of the economic benefits received or to be received, and is presented net of valued added tax, specific taxes, returns, discounts and rebates. Goods sold are recognized after the Company has transferred to the buyer all the risks and benefits inherent to ownership of the goods, and it do not have the right to dispose of them. In general, this means that sales are recorded when the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred to the customer, pursuant to the terms agreed in the commercial agreements and once the performance obligation is satisfied.
In relation to IFRS 15, the Company has applied the criteria established in this standard for these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sale of products in the domestic market
The Company obtains its revenues, both in Chile and Argentina, mainly from the sales of beers, soft drinks, mineral waters, purified water, nectars, wines, cider and spirits, products that are distributed through retail establishments, wholesale distributors and supermarket chains, and none of which act as commercial agents of the Company. Such revenues in the domestic markets, net of the value added tax, specific taxes, returns, discounts and rebates to clients, are recognized when products are delivered, together with the transfer of all risks and benefits related to them and once the performance obligation is satisfied.
Exports
In general, the Company’s sales delivery conditions are the basis for revenue recognition related to exports.
The structure of revenue recognition is based on the grouping of Incoterms, mainly in the following groups:
"FOB (Free on Board) shipping point", by which the buyer organizes and pays for transportation, consequently the sales occurs and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the merchandise to the transporter hired by the buyer.
“CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) and similar", by which the Company organizes and pays for external transportation and some other expenses, although CCU ceases being responsible for the merchandise after delivering it to the marine or air shipping company in accordance with the relevant terms. The sale occurs and revenue is recognized upon the delivery of merchandise at the port of destination.
In case of discrepancies between the commercial agreements and Incoterms, the former shall prevail.
The revenue recognition related to exports are recorded net of specific taxes, returns, discounts and rebates to clients, are recognized when products are delivered, together with the transfer of all risks and benefits related to them and once the performance obligation is satisfied.

Note 3
Estimates and application of professional judgment
 
The preparation of Financial Statement requires estimates and assumptions from Management affecting the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and their related notes. The estimates made and the assumptions used by the Company are based on historical experience, changes in the industry and the information supplied by external qualified sources. Nevertheless, final results could differ from the estimates under certain conditions.
 
Significant estimates and accounting policies are defined as those that are important to correctly reflect the Company’s financial position and income, and/or those that require a high level of judgment by Management.
 
The primary estimates and professional judgments relate to the following concepts:
 
The valuation of goodwill acquired to determine the existence of losses due to potential impairment
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.16)
and
Note 18- Goodwill)
.
The valuation of commercial trademarks to determine the existence of potential losses due to potential impairment
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.17)
and
Note 17 – Intangible assets other than goodwill)
.
The assumptions used in the current calculation of liabilities and obligations to employees
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.20)
and
Note 26 – Employee benefits)
.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.12)
and
Note 19 – Property, plant and equipment)
and intangibles
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.15)
and
Note 17 - Intangible assets other than goodwill)
.
The assumptions used for calculating the fair of value financial instruments
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.7)
and
Note 7 – Financial instruments)
.
The likelihood of occurrence and amounts estimated in an uncertain or contingent matter
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.21)
and
Note 24 – Other provisions)
.
The valuation of current Biological assets
(Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (2.10)
and
Note 13 – Biological assets)
.
 
Such estimates are based on the best available information of the events analyzed to date in these consolidated financial statements.
 
However, it is possible that events that may occur in the future may result in adjustments to such estimates, which would be recorded prospectively.

Risk Administration
 
Risk administration
 
In companies where CCU has a controlling interest, the Company’s Administration and Finance Management Department provides a centralized service for the group’s companies to obtain financing and administration of exchange rates, interest rates, liquidity, inflation, raw materials and credit risks. Such activity operates in accordance with a framework of policies and procedures which is regularly reviewed to ensure it fulfils the purpose of managing the risks by business needs.
 
In companies with a non-controlling interest (VSPT, CPCH, Aguas CCU-Nestlé S.A., Bebidas del Paraguay S.A., Cervecería Kunstmann S.A. and Bebidas Bolivianas BBO S.A.) the responsibility for this service lies with the respective Board of Directors and respective Administration and Finance Management Department. When applicable, the Board of Directors and Directors Committee has the final responsibility for establishing and reviewing the risk administration structure, as well as for the reviewing significant changes made to risk management policies.
 
In accordance with financial risk policies, the Company uses derivate instruments only for the purpose of hedging exposure to interest rate and Exchange rate risks arising from the Company’s operations and its sources of financing, which some of them are treated as hedges for accounting purposes. Transactions with derivate instruments are exclusively carried out by the Administration and Finance staff and the Internal Audit Management Department regularly reviews the control of this function. Relationships with credit rating agencies and monitoring of financial restrictions (covenants) are also managed by the Administration and Finance Management Department.
 
The Company’s main risk exposure is related to exchange rates, interest rates, inflation and raw materials price (commodities), taxes, trade accounts receivable and liquidity. Several types of financial instruments are used to manage the risk originated by these exposures.
 
For each of the following points, where applicable, the sensitivity analysis developed are merely for illustration purposes, since in practice the variables used for this excercise rarely change without affecting each other and without affecting other factors that were considered as constant and which also affect the Company’s financial position and results.
 
Exchange rate risk
 
The Company is exposed to exchange rate risks originated by: a) its net exposure to foreign currency assets and liabilities, b) exports revenues, c) the purchase of raw materials and capital investments in foreign currencies, or indexed in such currencies, and d) the net investment of subsidiaries in foreign countries. The Company’s greatest exchange rate exposure is to the variation on the Chilean peso as compared to the US Dollar, Euro, Argentine Peso, Uruguayan Peso, Paraguayan Guarani, Bolivian Peso and Colombian Peso.
 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company maintained foreign currency obligations amounting to ThCh$ 92,872,305
(ThCh$ 101,157,358 as of December 31, 2020), mostly denominated in US Dollars. Foreign currency obligations
ThCh$ 12,405,293 as of December 31, 2021, (ThCh$ 29,034,945 in 2020) represent a 2% (6% in 2020) of total other financial liabilities. The remaining 98% (94% in 2020) is mainly denominated in Unidades de Fomento (inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit – see inflation risk section). In addition, the Company has assets in foreign currency in the amount of ThCh$ 232,289,359 (ThCh$ 195,343,807 in 2020) that mainly correspond to export accounts receivable.
 
Regarding the operations of foreign subsidiaries, the net liability exposure in US Dollars and other currencies amounts to ThCh$ 17,526,136 (net liability ThCh$ 6,411,371 in 2020).
 
To protect the value of the net foreign currency assets and liabilities position of its Chilean operations, the Company enters into derivate contracts (currency forwards) to mitigate any variation in the Chilean peso as compared to other currencies.
 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company in Chile, after the use of derivate instruments, is passive in the amount of
ThCh$ 4,210,943 (ThCh$ 1,451,523 in 2020).
 
As of December 31, 2021, of the Company’s total sales, both in Chile and abroad, 5% (7% in 2020 and in 2019) corresponds to export sales in foreign currencies, mainly US Dollars and Euros and approximately 63% (62% in 2020 and 64% in 2019) of total direct costs correspond to raw materials and products purchased in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies. The Company does not hedge the possible variations in the expected cash flows from such transactions.

The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates related to the conversion from the Argentine Peso, the Uruguayan Peso, the Paraguayan Guaraní, the Bolivian Peso and the Colombian Peso to Chilean Pesos with respect to assets, liabilities, income and expenses of its subsidiaries in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia, and a joint venture in Colombia. The Company does not hedge the risks associated to the conversion of its subsidiaries, whose effects are recorded in equity.
 
Exchange rate sensitivity analysis
 
The effect of foreign currency translation differences recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended as of December 31, 2021, related to assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, was a loss of
ThCh$ 10,149,345 (a gain of ThCh$ 2,551,823 in 2020 and a loss of ThCh$ 9,054,155 in 2019). Considering exposure as of December 31, 2021 and assuming a 10% increase in the exchange rate, and keeping constant all other variables such as interest rates constant, it is estimated that the effect on the Company’s net income would be a loss after taxes of
ThCh$ 307,399 (a loss ThCh$ 105,961 in 2020 and a gain of ThCh$ 616,121 in 2019) associated of the owners of the controller.
 
Considering that approximately 5% of the Company’s sales revenue comes from export sales carried out in Chile (7% in 2020 and in 2019), in currencies other than Chilean Peso, and that approximately 63% (62% in 2020 and 64% in 2019) of the Company’s direct costs are in or indexed to the US Dollar and assuming that the functional currencies will appreciate (depreciate) by 10% in respect to the US Dollar, and keeping all other variables constant, the hypothetical effect on the Company’s income would be a loss after taxes of ThCh$ 34,891,134 (ThCh$ 22,919,408 as of December 2020 and
ThCh$ 27,683,581 as of December 2019).
 
The Company can also be affected by changes in the exchange rate of the countries where its foreign subsidiaries operate, since income is converted to Chilean Pesos at the average Exchange rate of each month (except for Argentina which uses the end of period Exchange rate as the reporting date). The operating income of foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 was a gain of ThCh$ 56,990,988 (a loss of ThCh$ 963,321 in 2020 and a gain of ThCh$ 20,517,569 in 2019). Therefore, a depreciation (appreciation) of 10% in the exchange rate of the Argentine Peso, the Uruguayan Peso, the Paraguayan Guarani and the Bolivian peso against the Chilean Peso, would result in a (loss) gain before taxes of
ThCh$ 5,699,099 (ThCh$ 96,332 in 2020 and ThCh$ 2,051,757 in 2019).
 
The net investment in foreign subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures as of December 31, 2021, amounted to
ThCh$ 355,274,155, ThCh$ 549,401 and ThCh$ 125,296,382, respectively (ThCh$ 238,824,995, ThCh$ 1,337,526 and ThCh$ 119,777,994 in 2020). Assuming a 10% increase or decrease in the Argentine Peso, Uruguayan Peso, Paraguayan Guarani, Bolivian Peso and Colombian Peso against the Chilean Peso, and maintaining all other variables constant, the increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in a gain (loss) of ThCh$ 48,111,994 (ThCh$ 35,994,052 in 2020 and ThCh$ 39,834,648 in 2019) recorded as a credit (charge) to equity.
 
The Company does not hedge risks associated to currency conversion of the financial statements of its subsidiaries that have a different functional currency, whose effects are recorded in equity.
 
Interest rate risk
 
Interest rate risk mainly originates from the Company’s financing sources.
 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not variable interest debt (ThCh$ 8,250,670 in 2020). Consequently, as of December 31, 2020, the company’s financing structure is composed of approximately 2% of debt with variable interest rate, and 98% in debt with fixed interest rates.
 
To manage interest rate risk, the Company has a policy which seeks to reduce the volatility of its finance cost, and maintain a suitable percentage of its debt in fixed rate instruments. The financial position is mainly set by the use of short-term and long-term, as well as derivate instruments such as cross currency interest rate swaps and cross interest rate swaps.
 
As of December 31, 2021, after considering the effect of interest rates and currency swaps, a 100% (100% in 2020) of the Company’s debt is at fixed interest rates.
 
The terms and conditions of the Company's obligations with financial institutions as of December 31, 2021, including exchange rates, interest rate, maturities and effective interest rates, are detailed in
Note 21 - Other financial liabilities.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis
 
The total financial cost recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the twelve months ended as of December 31, 2020, related to short and long-term debt amounted to ThCh$ 35,660,493 (ThCh$ 28,714,063 in 2020 and
ThCh$ 27,720,203 in 2019). As of December 31, 2021, the company does not hold liabilities with a variable interest rate. As of December 31, 2020, the company holt liabilities with a variable interest rate covered by cross currency interest rate swaps.
 
Inflation risk
 
The Company maintains agreements indexed to Unidades de Fomento (UF) with third parties, as well as UF indexed financial debt which means the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the UF, generating an increase in the value of those agreements and liabilities if the UF increases due to inflation. This risk is partially mitigated by the Company’s policy of keeping net sales per unit in UF constant as long as the market conditions allow it, and taking cross currency swaps if the market conditions are favorable to the Company.
 
Inflation in Argentina has shown significant increases since the beginning of 2018. The cumulative inflation rate of three years, calculated using different combinations of consumer price indices, has exceeded 100% for several months, and it’s still increasing. The cumulative three-year inflation calculated using the general price index has already exceeded 100%. Therefore, as prescribed by IAS 29, Argentina was declared a hyperinflationary economy as of July 1, 2018
. (See
Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting polices (2.4)
).
Inflation sensitivity analysis
 
Income from indexation units recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the twelve-months ended as of December 31, 2021, related to UF indexed short and long-term debt and the application of Hyperinflation Accounting in Argentina, is a gain of ThCh$ 2,529,298 (a loss of ThCh$ 429,198 in 2020 and a loss of ThCh$ 8,255,001 in 2019). Assuming a reasonably possible 3% increase (decrease) in the Unidad de Fomento and 10% of inflation in Argentina, and keeping all other variables such as interest rates constant, the aforementioned increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in a (loss) gain of ThCh$ 1.672.967 (ThCh$ 1,589,705 in 2020 and ThCh$ 4,781,394 in 2019).
 
Raw material Price risk
 
The main exposure to raw materials Price variation is related to barley, malt, and cans used in the production of beer, concentrates, sugar and plastic containers used in the production of soft drinks and bulk wine and grapes for the manufacturing of wine and spirits.
 
Barley, malt and cans
 
In Chile, the Company obtains its malt supply from both local producers and the international market. Long-term supply agreements are entered into with local producers where the barley price is set annually according to market prices, which are used to determine the price of malt according to the agreements.
 
The purchase commitments made expose the Company to raw materials price fluctuation risk. CCU Argentina acquires malt from local producers. These raw materials represent approximately 8% (7% in 2020 and 6% in 2019) of the direct cost of the Chile Operating segment.
 
As of December 31, 2021, in the Chile Operation segment, the cost of cans represented approximately 20% of direct costs (19% in 2020 and 17% in 2019). In the International Business Operating segment, the cost of cans represented approximately 38% of direct raw materials costs as of December 31, 2021 (36% in 2020 and 38% in 2019).
 
Concentrates, Sugar and plastic containers
 
The main raw materials used in the production of non-alcoholic beverages are concentrated, which are mainly acquired from licenses, sugar and plastic resin for the manufacturing of plastic bottles and containers. The Company is exposed to price fluctuation risks involving these raw materials, which jointly represent approximately 30% (24% in 2020 and 31% in 2019) of the direct cost of the Chile Operating segment.
 
The Company does not engage in hedging raw materials purchases.

Grapes and wine
 
The main raw materials used by subsidiary Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. (from now VSPT) for wine production are grapes harvested from its own vineyards and grapes and wine acquired from third parties through long-term and spot contracts. In the last 12 months, approximately 26% (20% in 2020) of VSPT’s total wine supply came from its own vineyards. Regarding our export market, and considering our focus on this market, approximately 42% (33% in 2020) of our wine supply for export came from our own vineyards.
 
The remaining 74% (80% in 2020) supply was purchased from third parties through long-term and spot contracts. In the last 12 months, the subsidiary VSPT acquired 60% (65% in 2020 and 54% in 2019) of the necessary grapes and wine from third parties through spot contracts. Additionally, the long-term transactions were 15% (16% in 2020 and 19% in 2019) of the total supply.
 
We should consider that as of December 31, 2021, wine represents 60% (59% in 2020 and 60% in 2019) of the total direct cost of the Wine Operating segment, and supplies purchased from third parties represented 36% (38% in 2020 and 33% in 2019).
 
Raw material Price sensitivity analysis
 
Total direct costs in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the twelve months ended as of December 31, 2021, amounted to ThCh$ 1,014,092,586 (ThCh$ 757,097,886 in 2020 and ThCh$ 694,307,741 in 2019). Assuming a reasonably possible 8% increase (decrease) in the direct cost of each Operating segment and keeping all other variables such as exchange rates constant, the aforesaid increase (decrease) would hypothetically result into a (loss) gain before taxes of ThCh$ 51,992,161 (ThCh$ 38,770,441 in 2020 and ThCh$ 33,084,911 in 2019) for the Chile Operating segment,
ThCh$ 20,522,990 (ThCh$ 13,698,385 in 2020 and ThCh$ 14,807,640 in 2019) for the International Business Operating segment and ThCh$ 10,139,588 (ThCh$ 8,959,908 in 2020 and ThCh$ 8,310,433 in 2019) for the Wine operating segment.
 
Credit risk
 
The credit risk which the Company is exposed to originates from: a) trade accounts receivable from retail customers, whole sale distributors and supermarket chains in the domestic market; b) accounts receivable from exports; and c) financial instruments maintained with Banks and financial institutions, such as demand deposits, mutual fund investments, instrument acquired under resale commitments and derivatives.
 
Domestic market
 
The credit risk related to trade accounts receivable from domestic markets is managed by the Credit and Collections Management Department, and is monitored by the Credit Committee of each business unit.
 
The domestic market mainly refers to accounts receivables in Chile and represents 66% of total trade accounts receivable (70% in 2020). The Company has a wide base of customers that are subject to the policies, procedures and controls established by the Company. Credit limits are established for all customers on the basis of an internal rating and their payment behavior. Outstanding trade accounts receivable are regularly monitored. In addition, the Company purchases credit insurance that covers 90% of individually significant accounts receivable balances, coverage that as of December 31, 2021, is equivalent to 85% (86% in 2020) of total accounts receivable.
 
Overdue, but not impaired, trade accounts receivables represent customers that are less than 18 days overdue (
33
in 2020 and
30
in 2019).
 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company has approximately 1,409 customers (1,405 in 2020) with more than Ch$ 10 million in debt each, which altogether represent approximately 88% (88% in 2020) of total trade accounts receivable. There are 276 customers (272 customers in 2020) with balances in excess of Ch$ 50 million each, representing approximately 78% (76% in 2020) of the total accounts receivable. The 91% (92% in 2020) of those accounts receivable are covered by credit insurance.
 
The Company sells its products through retail customers, wholesale distributors and supermarket chains, with a credit worthiness of 100% (99% in 2020).
 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company has no significant guarantees from its customers.

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
 
 
The Company believes that no additional credit risk provisions other than the individual and collective provisions determined as of December 31, 2021, that amount to ThCh$ 5,820,206 (ThCh$ 6,323,298 in 2020) are needed since a large percentage of these are covered by insurance (See
Note 10 – Trade and other receivable
).
 
Exports market
 
The credit risk related to accounts receivable from exports is managed by the Head of Credit and Collections and is monitored by the Administration and Finance Management Department. VSPT’s export trade accounts receivable represent 12% of total trade accounts receivable (13% in 2020). VSPT has a wide base of customers, in more than eighty countries, which are subject to the policies, procedures and controls established by VSPT. In addition, VSPT acquires credit insurance to cover 96% (98% in 2020) of individually significant accounts receivable. This coverage accounts for more than 88% (89% in 2020) of total accounts receivable are covered. Pending payments of trade accounts receivable are regularly monitored. Apart from the credit insurance, having diversified sales in different countries decreases the credit risk.
 
As of December 31, 2021, there were 71 customers (60 in 2020) with more than ThCh$ 65,000 of debt each, which represent 93% (88% in 2020) of VSPT´s total export market accounts receivable.
 
Regarding VSPT’s export customers, overdue, but no impaired, trade accounts receivables are customers that are less than 28 days overdue (25 days average in 2020).
 
The Company believes that no credit risk provisions are necessary other than the individual and collective provisions determined as of December 31, 2021. See analysis of accounts receivable aging and losses due to impairment of accounts receivables (See
Note 10 – Trade and other receivable
).
 
Financial investments and derivatives
 
Financial investments correspond to time deposits, which are financial instruments acquired with repurchase agreements at fixed interest rate, maturing in less than three months placed in financial institutions in Chile, so there are not exposed to significant market risk. Derivatives are measured at fair value and traded only in the Chilean market. Since 2018, the amendment to IFRS 9, which requires changes to the valuation of derivative financial instruments considering the counterparty risk (CVA and DVA), is applied. The CVA and DVA effect is calculated using the probability of default of the counterparty or CCU, when applicable, assuming a 40% recovery rate for each derivative instrument. For CCU, the default probability is obtained from the spread of corporate bonds with the same credit risk rating than CCU, while for the counterparty, considers the sum between the Credit Default Swap (CDS) of Chile and the CDS of Citibank in the United States. As of December 31, 2021, the effect is not material.
 
Tax risk
 
Our businesses are subject to different taxes in the countries we operate, particularly with excise taxes on the consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. An increase in the rate of these or any other tax could negatively affect our sales and profitability.
 
Liquidity risk
 
The Company manages liquidity risk at a consolidated level. Cash flows from operating activities are the main source of liquidity. Additionally, the Company has the ability to issue debt and equity instruments in the capitals market based on our needs.
 
In order to manage short-term liquidity, the Company considers projected cash flows for a twelve-month moving period and maintains cash and cash equivalents available to meet its obligations.
 
Based on current operating performance and its liquidity position, the Company estimates that cash flows from operation activities and available cash will be sufficient to finance working capital, capital investments, interest payments, dividend payment and debt payment requirement for the next 12-months period and in the foreseeable future.
 
Risk from health crises
 
Health crises, pandemics or the outbreak of contagious diseases at a global or regional level could have a negative impact on our operations and financial position.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

A health crisis, pandemic or the outbreak of disease at a global or regional level, such as the case of the recent outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, could have a negative impact on our operations and financial position. The above-mentioned circumstances could impede the normal operation of the Company, limit our production and distribution capacity, and/or generate a contraction in the demand for our products. The degree of impact on our operations will depend on factors that we cannot predict, such as the duration, spread, and severity of the health crisi
s
.
 
Any prolonged restrictive measures put in place in order to control an outbreak of a contagious disease or other adverse public health development in any of our targeted markets may have a material and adverse effect on our business operations. The ultimate severity of the Coronavirus outbreak is uncertain at this time and therefore we cannot predict the impact it may have on the world, the economies where we operate or the financial markets, and consequently in our financial condition or results of operations.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets, financial derivative liabilities, and lease liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature or by its valuation methodology while loans receivable and accounts receivable are due to the fact that any collection loss is already reflected in the impairment loss provision.
 
The fair value of non-derivative financial assets and liabilities that are not quoted in active markets are estimated through the use of discounted cash flows calculated on market variables observed as of the date of the financial statements. The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated through the discount of future cash flows, determined according to information observed in the market or to variables and prices obtained from third parties.
 
The fair value of bank borrowings and Bonds payable has hierarchy level 2 of fair value.

These derivative agreements have been entered into as a hedge of exchange rate risk exposure. In the case of forwards, the Company does not comply with the formal requirements for hedging designation; consequently their effects are recorded in Income, in Other gains (losses).
 
In the case of Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps and the Cross Interest Rate Swaps, these qualify as cash flow hedges of the cash flows related to loans from Banco de Chile and Scotiabank Chile. See additional disclosures in
Note 21 – Other financial liabilities

The percentage of impairment determined for the portfolio in each court may differ from the direct application of the previously presented parameters because these percentages are applied to the uncovered portfolio of credit insurance that the Company takes. Past due balances over 6 months and for which no estimates have been made for impairment losses, correspond mainly to items protected by credit insurance. Additionally, there are expired amounts in this stretch, which according to the policy, partial losses due to impairment are estimated based on an individual case-by-case analysis.
 
For the above mentioned, management estimates that it does not require establishing allowances for further impairment, in addition to those already constituted based on an aging analysis of these balances.
 
The write-offs of our doubtful clients are once all pre-trial and judicial, efforts have been made and exhausted all means of payment, with the proper demonstration of the insolvency of customers. This process of write off normally takes more than 1 year.

Main assumptions for impairment calculation
 
Goodwill assigned to the CGUs is subject to impairment test on an annually basis or more frequently if there are signs of potential impairment. These signs may include a significant change in the economic environment that could affect the business scenario, new legal provisions, operational performance indicators or the disposal of an important part of a CGU. The impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable value of each CGU is determined as the highest amount between its value in use and its fair value minus the cost of selling. The management considers that the value in use approach, determined by a discounted cash flow model, is the most reliable method to determine the recoverable values of the CGU.
 
The following table shows the most relevant inputs for each CGU in where there is a relevant Goodwill and / or intangible assets with indefinite useful life assigned:

The following describes some considerations applied when determining the corresponding values in use of the CGUs that have Goodwill and / or intangible assets with indefinite useful life assigned:
 
Projection period:
A five-year horizon is considered for all units / brands. An exceptionally longer period of time (no longer than ten years), is considered for those units / brands that require a longer maturation period.
 
Cash Flow
:
To determine the value in use, the Company has used cash flow projections in line with the time horizon described above, based on budgets, strategic plans and projections reviewed by management for the same period of time. Given the maturity of our business, these budgets have been historicaly consistent with the results.
 
Management’s cash flow projection included significant judgements and assumptions relating to perpetual growth rates and discount rates.

Perpetual growth
:
Although the Company expects a higher volume and price growth in the medium and long term, a nominal growth of 3% has been assumed for the perpetuity in Chilean units, which is a conservative assumption considering the historical capacity and nature of the business where the company operates. In the case of Uruguay a perpetuity rate of 2.2% is used, consistent with the expected long-term growth for this country. For Bolivia a perpetuity rate of 4.4% equivalent to long-term inflation of the country plus a percentage of the potential long-term GDP are used. In the case of Paraguay and Argentina a perpetuity rate of 3.0% and 2.5% are used respectively, which are composed by the average inflation rate of the United States of America mentioned above, plus a percentage of the potential long-term GDP in each country.
 
Discount rate
:
Corresponds to the nominal WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) rate of each country.
 
According to the calculated sensitivities, the Administration determines that there is no reasonably possible change in the assumptions mentioned above that could cause that the book value exceeds the estimated recoverable value as of December 31, 202

and ThCh$ 909,256 in 2019), using an annually capitalization rate of 2.04% (2.64% in 2020 and 3.68% in 2019).
 
The Company, through its subsidiary Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A., has biological assets corresponding to vines that produce grapes. The vines are segmented into those under formation and those under production, and they are grown both on leased and owned land. The grapes harvested from these vines are used in the manufacturing of wine, which is marketed both in the domestic market and abroad.
 
As of
December 31, 2021
, the Company maintained approximately 5,189 hectares of which 4,674 are for vines in production stage. Of the total hectares mentioned above, 4,344 correspond to own land and 330 to leased land.
 
The vines under formation are recorded at historic cost, and only start being depreciated when they are transferred to the production phase, which occurs in the majority of cases in the third year after plantation, when they start producing grapes commercially (in volumes that justify their production-oriented handling and later harvest).
 
During 2021, the production in plant vines yield was approximately 57.7 million kilos of grapes (41.0 million kilos of grapes in 2020).
 
By the nature of business of the Company, in the value of the assets it is not considered to start an allowance for cost of dismantling, removal or restoration.
 
The depreciation for the year ended as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, recognized in net income and other assets is as follows:

Note 22
Right of use assets and Lease liabilities
The Company has implemented IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019.  This means recognizing the right of use assets for the goods subject to operating lease contracts and a liability equivalent to the present value of the payment associated with the contract.
Considerations:
-
Identification of the asset for right of use: As part of the contract review and analysis process, the Company identified assets by right of use associated with identifiable and non-substitutable lease contracts, which were classified under the item Right of use assets.
-
The Company mainly has warehouses, offices, vehicles and land leased contracts.
-
Interest rate used for the measurement of the financial liability: The Company determined the interest rate based on the currency and the term of the lease contracts. The average incremental borrowing interest rate applied to lease liabilities used is 3.17%.
-
Term of the contract: The Company evaluated the lease clauses, market conditions, costs related to the termination of the contract and early cancellation.
Other considerations:
1)
During the initial measurement of lease agreements, the Company applied exemptions for leases with remaining terms less than 12 months and leases with a value lower than US$ 5,000 (ThCh$ 3,747) as of January 1, 2019. These leases have been considered as short term, therfore no right of use asset or lease liability has been recognized.
2)
The Company excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right of use asset at the date of initial application.
3)
The Company analyzed the lease terms on a case-by-case basis, in those with an option to extend or terminate the lease.

The most significant financial lease agreements are as follows:
 
CCU S.A.
 
In December, 2004, the Company sold a piece of land previously classified as investment property. As part of the transaction, the Company leased eleven floors of a building under construction on the mentioned piece of land.
 
The building was completed during 2007, and on June 28, 2007, the Company entered into a 25-years lease agreement with Compañía de Seguros de Vida Consorcio Nacional de Seguros S.A., for a total amount of UF 688,635.63 with an annual interest rate of 7.07%. The current value of the agreement amounted to ThCh$ 10,403,632 as of December 31, 2007. The agreement also grants CCU the right or option to acquire the assets contained in the agreement (real estate, furniture and facilities) as from month 68 of the lease. The lease rentals committed are according to the conditions prevailing in the market.
 
At the time of sale, the Company recognized ThCh$ 3,108,950 as a gain for the building portion not leased by the Company and ThCh$ 2,276,677 as a liability that was deferred until completion of the building. At this time, the Company recorded the transaction as a financial lease.
 
On February 28, 2018, the Company carried out an amendment to the contract with Compañía de Seguros de Vida Consorcio Nacional de Seguros S.A., recording a balance debt of UF 608,375, with 3.95% annual interest and maturity on February 5, 2048.

The provisions for Litigation and Other - current and non-current correspond to estimates made by the Administration, intended to cover eventual effects that may derive from the resolution of trials/claims or uncertainties to which the Company is exposed. Such trails/claims or uncertainties derive from transactions that are part of the normal course of CCU's business and the countries where it operates and whose details and scopes are not fully public knowledge, so that its detailed exposition could affect the interests of the Company and the progress of the resolution of these, according to the legal reserves of each administrative and judicial procedure. Therefore, based on the provisions of IAS 37 "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets", paragraph 92, although the amounts provisioned in relation to these trials/claims or uncertainties are indicated, no further detail of the same at the closing of these Financial Statements.
 
Significant litigation proceedings which the Company is exposed to at a consolidated level are detailed in 
Note 35 - Contingencies and commitments
.
 
Management believes that based on the development of such proceedings to date, the provisions established on a case by case basis are adequate to cover the possible adverse effects that could arise from these proceedings.
