Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information

 

Unless otherwise specified, references herein to “dollars”, “U.S. dollars” or “US$” are to United States dollars; references to “pesos”, “Chilean pesos”, “Ch$” or “ThCh$” are to Chilean pesos; references to “Argentine pesos” or “AR$” are to Argentine pesos; references to “real”, “reais” or “R$” are to Brazilian reais; and references to “guaranies”, “guarani” or “G$” are to Paraguayan guaranies. References to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento. The UF is an inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit with a value in Chilean pesos that is adjusted daily to reflect changes in the official consumer price index of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the “Chilean National Institute of Statistics”). The UF is adjusted in monthly cycles. Each day in the period beginning on the tenth day of the current month through the ninth day of the succeeding month, the nominal peso value of the UF is indexed up (or down in the event of deflation) in order to reflect a proportionate amount of the change in the Chilean consumer price index during the prior calendar month. Certain percentages and amounts contained in this annual report have been rounded for ease of presentation.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter “IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereinafter “IASB”).

 

Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Chilean pesos. Our consolidated financial statements reflect the results of our subsidiaries located in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, converted to Chilean pesos (our functional and presentation currency). IFRS requires assets and liabilities to be converted from the functional currency of our subsidiaries outside Chile to our reporting currency (Chilean peso) at the end of period exchange rates and income and expense accounts to be converted at the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which income or expense is recognized for subsidiaries that do not operate in hyperinflationary economies.

 

In the case of our Argentine subsidiaries, which have been operating in an environment that during 2018 was classified as hyperinflationary, the conversion criteria from the functional currency of those subsidiaries to our presentation currency is the following:

Table of Contents

 

·        financial condition (balance sheet): Non-cash items are expressed in the current currency at the balance sheet date and translated to the presentation currency of the closing exchange rate. Losses and gains are included in net earnings (fiscal year income).

 

·        first fiscal year: Losses and gains by correction of current non-monetary items the previous year are recorded in accumulated results as of January 1, 2018.

 

·        statement of income: Income statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period, using the variation of the general price index from the date on which the expenses and revenues were accrued, and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate.

 

·        cash flow statement: Cash flow statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate.

 

For more information on the effects of the hyperinflationary environment in Argentina in 2018 see note 2.5 of our consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

Unless otherwise specified, our financial data is presented herein in Chilean pesos.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This annual report includes forward looking statements, principally under the captions, “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview,” “Item 3. Key Information—Part D. Risk Factors,” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.” We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current beliefs, expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting our business. Examples of such forward-looking statements include:

 

·              statements of our plans, objectives or goals, including those related to anticipated trends, competition or regulation;

·              statements about our future economic performance and that of Chile or other countries in which we operate;

·             statements about our exposure to market risks, including interest rate risks, foreign exchange risk and equity price risk; and

statements of assumptions underlying such statements.

 

Words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “seeks,” “aim,” “combined,” “estimates,” “probability,” “risk,” “target,” “goal,” “objective,” “future” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These statements may relate to (i) our asset growth and financing plans, (ii) trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations and (iii) the impact of competition and regulations, but are not limited to such topics. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those described in such forward-looking statements included in this annual report as a result of various factors (including, without limitation, the actions of competitors, future global economic conditions, market conditions, foreign exchange rates and operating and financial risks), many of which are beyond our control. The occurrence of any such factors not currently expected by us would significantly alter the results set forth in these statements.

 

You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this annual report, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in our forward-looking statements:

 

·                  changes in general economic, business, political or other conditions in the regions where we operate;

·                  changes in the legal and regulatory framework of the beverage sector in the regions where we operate;

·                  the monetary and interest rate policies of the central banks of the countries in which we operate;

·                  unanticipated movements or volatility in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices;

·                  changes in, or our failure to comply with, laws and regulations in the countries where we operate;

·                  changes in taxes;

·                  our inability to hedge certain risks economically;

·                  potential effects of weather conditions, earthquakes, tsunamis or other natural disasters;

·                  the outcome of litigation against us;

·                  the nature and extent of competition in the beverage industry in Latin America and the effect of competition on the prices we are able to charge for our products;

·                  volatility and fluctuations in demand for our products and the effect of such changes on the volume that we are able to sell and the price that we are able to charge for our products;

Table of Contents

 

·                  capital and credit market conditions, including the availability of credit and changes in interest rates;

·                  delays in the development of our projects, changes to our investment plans due to changes in demand, authorizations, expropriations, etc.;

·                  actions of our shareholders;

·                  unanticipated increases in financing and other costs or the inability to obtain additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms if at all; and

·                  the factors described under “Risk Factors”.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this annual report, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law.

Exchange Rates

 

Chile

 

Chile has two currency markets, the Mercado Cambiario Formal (the “Formal Exchange Market”) and the Mercado Cambiario Informal (the “Informal Exchange Market”). The Formal Exchange Market is comprised of banks and other entities authorized by the Chilean Central Bank. The Informal Exchange Market is comprised of entities that are not expressly authorized to operate in the Formal Exchange Market, such as certain foreign exchange houses and travel agencies, among others. The Chilean Central Bank is empowered to require that certain purchases and sales of foreign currencies be carried out on the Formal Exchange Market. See also “Item 10. Additional Information—D. Exchange Controls— Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile”.

 

Both the Formal and Informal Exchange Markets are driven by free market forces. Current regulations require that the Chilean Central Bank be informed of certain transactions and that they be effected through the Formal Exchange Market.

 

The U.S. dollar observed exchange rate (dólar observado), which is reported by the Chilean Central Bank and published daily in the Official Gazette (Diario Oficial), is the weighted average exchange rate of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market. The Chilean Central Bank has the power to intervene by buying or selling foreign currency on the Formal Exchange Market to attempt to maintain the observed exchange rate within a desired range. During the past few years the Chilean Central Bank has attempted to keep the observed exchange rate within a certain range only under special circumstances. Although the Chilean Central Bank is not required to purchase or sell dollars at any specific exchange rate, it generally uses spot rates for its transactions. Other banks generally carry out authorized transactions at spot rates as well.

 

The Informal Exchange Market reflects transactions carried out at the informal exchange rate. There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate above or below the observed exchange rate. In recent years, the variation between the observed exchange rate and the informal exchange rate has not been significant.

 

The following table sets forth the annual low, high, average and period end observed exchange rate for U.S. dollars for the periods presented, as reported by the Chilean Central Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos.

Argentina

 

From April 1, 1991 until the end of 2001, the Convertibility Law No. 23,928 and Regulatory Decree No. 529/91 (together, the “Convertibility Law”) established a fixed exchange rate under which the Central Bank of Argentina was obliged to sell U.S. dollars at a fixed rate of one Argentine peso per U.S. dollar. On January 6, 2002, the Argentine Congress enacted the Public Emergency Law, which suspended certain provisions of the Convertibility Law, including the fixed exchange rate of Ar$1.00 to US$1.00, and granted the executive branch of the Argentine government the power to set the exchange rate between the Argentine peso and foreign currencies and to issue regulations related to the foreign exchange market. Following a brief period during which the Argentine government established a temporary dual exchange rate system, pursuant to the Public Emergency Law, the Argentine peso has been allowed to float freely against other currencies since February 2002. For the last few years the Argentine government has maintained a policy of intervention in foreign exchange markets, conducting periodic transactions for the sale and purchase of U.S. dollars. There is no way to foresee if this could continue in the future.

 

The following table sets forth the annual high, low, average and period-end exchange rates for the periods indicated, expressed in Argentine pesos per U.S. dollar and not adjusted for inflation as reported by the Central Bank of Argentina. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Argentine pesos.

Brazil

 

The Central Bank of Brazil allows the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate to float freely and has intervened occasionally to control unstable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We cannot predict whether the Central Bank of Brazil or the Brazilian government will continue to let the real float freely or will intervene in the exchange rate market through a currency band system or otherwise. The Brazilian real may depreciate or appreciate substantially against the U.S. dollar in the future. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our financial condition.

 

Prior to March 14, 2005, under Brazilian regulations, foreign exchange transactions were carried out on either the commercial rate exchange market or the floating rate exchange market. Rates in the two markets were generally the same. On March 14, 2005, the National Monetary Council of Brazil (Conselho Monetário Nacional) unified the two markets.

Paraguay

 

The price of the U.S. currency in Paraguay is determined by the interaction between the supply and demand of this currency, and the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP) has the ability to intervene in order to minimize the effects of potential large variations.

 

Standing out among foreign exchange income are exports (including border trade mainly with Brazil), foreign direct investment (FDI), remittances from relatives living abroad (in previous periods this impact was more significant). Imports stand out regarding dollar expenditures.

 

Until 2013, the flow of U.S. dollar income and expenditures was characterized by a large influx (income) of U.S. dollars in the first part of the year due to soybean exports. Currently, due to the various investments made, the influx still exists, but income throughout the year is more balanced.

 

The following table sets forth the annual high, low, average and period-end exchange rates for the periods indicated, expressed in Paraguayan guarani per U.S. dollar as reported by the Central Bank of Paraguay.

Not applicable.

 

D.            RISK FACTORS

 

We are subject to various economic, political, social and competitive conditions. Any of the following risks, if they materialize, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

 

Risks Relating to Our Company

 

We rely heavily on our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company, which has substantial influence over our business and operations and changes in this relationship may adversely affect our business.

 

The Coca-Cola Company has substantial influence on the conduct of our business. The interests of The Coca-Cola Company may be different from the interests of our other shareholders, which may result in us taking actions contrary to the interests of our other shareholders.

 

70% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 were derived from the distribution of soft drinks under The Coca-Cola Company trademarks and an additional 24% were derived from the distribution of other beverages also bearing trademarks owned by The Coca-Cola Company. We produce, market and distribute Coca-Cola products through standard bottler agreements between our bottler subsidiaries and, in each case, the local subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company or The Coca-Cola Company, or, in the case of juices and nectars, The Minute Maid Company, a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company (hereinafter, the “Bottler Agreements”). The Coca-Cola Company has the ability to exert an important influence on the business of the Company through its rights under the Bottler Agreements. According to the Bottler Agreements, The Coca-Cola Company unilaterally sets the prices for Coca-Cola concentrate and soft drinks (in the case of pre-mixed soft drinks by The Coca-Cola Company) that they sell to us. The Coca-Cola Company also monitors prices and has the right to review and approve our marketing, operating and advertising plans. In addition, The Coca-Cola Company can unilaterally set the prices of concentrate and may in the future increase the price we pay for the concentrate, increasing our costs. These factors may impact our profit margins, which could adversely affect our net income and results of operations.

 

Our marketing campaigns for Coca-Cola products are designed and controlled by The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company also makes significant contributions to our marketing expenses, although it is not required to contribute a particular amount. Accordingly, The Coca-Cola Company may discontinue or reduce such contribution at any time. Pursuant to the Bottler Agreements, we are required to submit a business plan to The Coca-Cola Company for prior approval on a yearly basis. In accordance with our Bottler Agreements, The Coca-Cola Company may, among other things, require that we demonstrate the financial ability to meet our business plan, and if we are not able to demonstrate our financial capacity, The Coca-Cola Company may terminate our rights to produce, market and distribute Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages in territories where we have such approval. Under these Bottler Agreements, we are prohibited from producing, bottling, distributing or selling any products that could be substituted for, be confused with or be considered an imitation of soft drinks or other beverages and products under the trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company.

 

We depend on The Coca-Cola Company to renew our Bottler Agreements, which are subject to termination by The Coca-Cola Company in the event we default or upon expiration of their respective terms. We currently are party to: two agreements for Chile, which expire in 2019 and in 2023, one agreement for Brazil, which expires in 2022, one agreement for Argentina, which expires in 2022, and one agreement for Paraguay, which expires in 2020. We cannot provide any assurance that our Bottler Agreements will be maintained or renewed upon their termination. Even if they are renewed, we cannot provide any assurance that renewal will be granted on the same terms as those currently in effect. Termination, non-extension or non-renewal of any of our Bottler Agreements would prevent us from selling Coca-Cola trademark beverages in the affected territory, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

In addition, any acquisition we make of bottlers of Coca-Cola products in other territories may require, among other things, the consent of The Coca-Cola Company under Bottler Agreements to which such other bottlers are subject. We cannot assure you that The Coca-Cola Company will consent to any future geographic expansion of our Coca-Cola beverage business. In addition, we cannot assure you that our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company will not deteriorate or otherwise undergo significant changes in the future. If such changes do occur, our operations and financial results and condition could be materially affected.

 

The non-alcoholic beverage business environment is changing rapidly, as a result of increased obesity and other health concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products, and consequently on our financial performance.

 

Consumers, public health officials and government agencies in the majority of our markets, are increasingly concerned with public health consequences associated with obesity, particularly among young people. Additionally, some researchers, health advocates and dietary guidelines are encouraging consumers to reduce consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and beverages sweetened with nutritive or alternative sweeteners. Increasing public concern about these issues, the possibility of taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages or other sweeteners, additional governmental regulations concerning the marketing, labeling, packaging or sale of our beverages and any negative publicity resulting from actual or threatened legal actions against non-alcoholic beverage companies relating to the marketing, labeling or sale of beverages may reduce demand for our products or increase the cost, which could adversely affect our profitability.

 

In addition, concerns over the environmental impact of plastic may reduce the consumption of our products sold in plastic bottles or result in additional taxes that would adversely affect consumer demand.

 

If we do not address evolving consumer product and shopping preferences, our business could suffer.

 

The non-alcoholic beverage business environment in our territories is dynamic and constantly evolving rapidly as a result of, among other things, changes in consumer preferences, including changes based on health and nutrition considerations and obesity concerns; shifting consumer preferences and needs; changes in consumer lifestyles; concerns regarding location of origin or source of ingredients and raw materials and the environmental and sustainability impact of the product manufacturing process; consumer emphasis on transparency related to our products and packaging; and competitive product and pricing pressures. In addition, the non-alcoholic beverage retail landscape is dynamic and is constantly evolving, and if we are unable to successfully adapt in this environment, our participation in the sales of non-alcoholic beverages and financial results in general would be negatively affected.

 

Our business is highly competitive, including with respect to price competition, which may adversely affect our net profits and margins.

 

The soft drink and nonalcoholic beverage businesses in general are highly competitive in each of the territories in which we operate. We compete with bottlers of local and regional brands, including low cost beverages and Pepsi products. This competition in each of the regions where we operate is likely to continue, and we cannot assure you that it will not intensify in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we do not continuously strengthen our capabilities in marketing and innovation to maintain our brand loyalty and market share, while we selectively expand into other profitable categories in the non-alcoholic beverage segment of the commercial beverage industry, our business could be negatively affected.

 

Raw material prices may be subject to U.S. dollar/local currency exchange risk and price volatility, which could increase our costs of operations.

 

In addition to water, our most significant raw materials are (1) concentrate, which we acquire from affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company, (2) sweeteners and (3) packaging materials. Our most significant packaging raw material costs arise from the purchase of resin and plastic preforms to make plastic bottles and from the purchase of finished plastic bottles, the prices of which are related to crude oil prices and global resin supply. Prices for concentrate are determined by The Coca-Cola Company and The Coca-Cola Company has unilaterally increased concentrate prices in the past and may do so again in the future. We cannot assure you that The Coca-Cola Company will not increase the price of the concentrate for Coca-Cola trademark beverages or change the manner in which such price will be calculated in the future. We may not be successful in negotiating or implementing measures to mitigate the negative effect this may have in the pricing of our products or our results. The prices for our remaining raw materials are driven by market prices and local availability, the imposition of import duties and restrictions and fluctuations in exchange rates.

 

We purchase our raw materials from both domestic and international suppliers, some of which must be approved by The Coca-Cola Company, which may limit the number of suppliers available to us. Because the prices of the main raw materials are denominated in U.S. dollars, we are subject to local currency risk with respect to each of our operations. If any of the Chilean peso, Brazilian real, Argentine peso, or Paraguayan guaraní were to depreciate significantly against the U.S. dollar, the cost of certain raw materials in our respective territories could rise significantly, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results

of operations. We cannot assure you that these currencies will not lose value against the U.S. dollar in the future. Additionally, some raw material prices are subject to high volatility, which could also have a material adverse effect on our profitability. The supply or cost of specific raw materials could be adversely affected by domestic or global price changes, strikes, weather conditions, taxes, governmental controls or other factors. Any sustained interruption in the supply of these raw materials or any significant increase in their price could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

 

Instability in the supply of utility services and oil prices may adversely impact our results of operations.

 

Our operations depend on a stable supply of utilities and fuel in the countries where we operate. Electrical power outages could lead to increased energy prices and possible service interruptions. Interruptions in the supply of water could also generate an increase of our production costs and possible service interruptions. We cannot assure you that in the future we will not experience energy or water supply interruptions that could materially and adversely affect our business. In addition, a significant increase in energy prices would raise our costs, which could materially impact our results of operations. Fluctuations in oil prices have adversely affected our cost of energy and transportation in the regions where we operate, and we expect that they will continue to do so in the future. We cannot assure you that fuel prices will not increase in the future, and that such an increase would not have a significant effect on our financial performance.

 

Water scarcity and poor water quality could adversely impact our production costs and capacity.

 

Water is the main ingredient in substantially all of our products. It is also a limited resource in many parts of the world, subject to changes and unpredictable situations from overexploitation, increasing pollution and poor management. As demand for water continues to increase around the world, and as the quality of available water deteriorates, we may incur increasing production costs or face capacity constraints that could adversely affect our profitability or net operating revenues. We obtain water from various sources in our territories, including springs, wells, rivers and municipal and state water companies pursuant to concessions granted by governments in our various territories. We are also subject to uncertainty regarding the interpretation of the laws of the countries in which we operate, and any ambiguity or uncertainty regarding the interpretation or application of regulations can result in increased production costs or penalties for non-compliance, which are impossible or difficult to predict. We also anticipate discussions on new regulations on ownership and water usage. Water scarcity or changes in governmental regulations aimed at rationing water in the region could affect our water supply.

 

We cannot assure you that water will be available in sufficient quantities to meet our future production needs or will prove sufficient to meet our water supply needs.

 

Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of our products.

 

The countries in which we operate may adopt significant advertising restrictions as well as additional product labeling or warning requirements relating to the chemical content or perceived adverse health consequences of certain of our Coca-Cola products or other products. In addition, the Chilean congress passed a law which became effective on June 27, 2016, with respect to labeling of certain consumer products, including soft drinks and bottled juices and waters such as ours. The second phase of the law began on June 27, 2018, which hardened the parameters of information required for the labelling of products offered on the market. Due to the difficulty of determining the future scope and interpretation of the requirements of this law we may be subject to ambiguity or uncertainty with respect to its interpretation and application which could result in non-compliance and associated costs and penalties, which are impossible or difficult to predict. These requirements may adversely affect sales of our products.

 

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain brand image and product quality.

 

Our beverage business is highly dependent on maintaining the reputation of our products in the countries where we operate. If we fail to maintain high standards for product quality, our reputation and ability to remain a distributor of The Coca-Cola Company beverages in the countries where we operate could be jeopardized. Negative publicity or incidents related to our products may reduce their demand and could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. If any of our products is defective or found to contain contaminants, or causes injury or illness, we may be subject to product recalls and/or other liabilities.

 

We take precautions in order to minimize the risk that our beverage products present contaminants and that our packaging materials (such as bottles, crowns, cans and other containers) present defects. Such precautions include quality-control programs for raw materials, the production process and of our final products. Likewise, we have established procedures to correct any problems detected.

 

The existence of contamination or defect in the future may lead to business interruptions, product recalls or liability, which could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Although we maintain insurance policies against certain product liability risks, we may not be able to enforce our rights in respect of these policies, and, in the event that a defect occurs, any amounts that we recover may not be sufficient to offset any damage we may suffer, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Trademark infringement could adversely impact our beverage business.

 

A significant portion of our sales derives from sales of beverages branded with trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company, as well as other trademarks. If other parties attempt to misappropriate trademarks we use, we may be unable to protect these trademarks. The maintenance of the reputation of these brands is essential for the future success of our beverage business. Misappropriation of trademarks we use, or challenges thereto, could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

 

Weather conditions or natural disasters may adversely affect our business.

 

Lower temperatures and higher rainfall may negatively impact consumer patterns, which may result in lower per capita consumption of our beverages. Additionally, adverse weather conditions or natural disasters may affect road infrastructure in the countries in which we operate and limit our ability to sell and distribute our products. For example, in February of 2010 our business experienced a temporary interruption in our production as a result of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in central Chile; and in March 2015, flash floods in the north of Chile interrupted our production and distribution in such territory.

 

Our insurance coverage may not adequately cover losses resulting from the risks for which we are insured.

 

We maintain insurance for our principal facilities and other assets. Our insurance coverage protects us in the event we suffer certain losses resulting from theft, fraud, expropriation, business interruption, natural disasters or other similar events or from business interruptions caused by such events. In addition, we maintain insurance policies for our directors and officers. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or will provide adequate compensation for losses that we may incur.

 

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 over the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information. In particular, we depend on our information technology infrastructure for digital marketing activities and electronic communications among us and our clients, suppliers and also among our subsidiaries and facilities. Security breaches or infrastructure flaws can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. If we are unable to prevent such breaches or flaws, our operations could be disrupted, or we may suffer financial damage or loss because of lost or misappropriated information.

 

Cyber threats are rapidly evolving and the means for obtaining access to information in digital and other storage media are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Cyber threats and cyber-attackers can be sponsored by countries or sophisticated criminal organizations or be the work of single “hackers” or small groups of “hackers.”

 

We invest in industry standard security technology to protect the Company’s data and business processes against risk of data security breach and cyber-attack. We are continuously installing new and upgrading existing information technology systems. Insider or employee cyber and security threats are increasingly a concern for all companies, including ours. Nevertheless, as cyber threats evolve, change and become more difficult to detect and successfully defend against, one or more cyber-attacks might defeat our or a third-party service provider’s security measures in the future and obtain the personal information of customers or employees. Employee error or other irregularities may also result in a defeat of security measures and a breach of information systems. Moreover, hardware, software or applications we use may have inherent defects of design, manufacture or operations or could be inadvertently or intentionally implemented or used in a manner that could compromise information security. A security breach and loss of information may not be discovered for a significant period of time after it occurs. While we have no knowledge of a material security breach to date, any compromise of data security could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws or standards, the loss of valuable business data, or a disruption of our business. A security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information could give rise to unwanted media attention, materially damage to our customer relationships and reputation, and result in fines, fees, or liabilities, which may not be covered by our insurance policies.

Perception of risk in emerging economies may impede our access to international capital markets, hinder our ability to finance our operations and adversely affect our financial performance.

 

International investors, as a general rule, consider the countries in which we operate to be emerging market economies. Consequently, economic conditions and the market for securities of emerging market countries influence investors’ perceptions of Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay and their evaluation of securities of companies located in these countries.

 

During periods of heightened investor concern regarding emerging market economies, the countries where we operate may experience significant outflows of U.S. dollars.

 

In addition, during these periods companies based in the countries where we operate have faced higher costs for raising funds, both domestically and abroad, as well as limited access to international capital markets, which have negatively affected the prices of the aforementioned countries’ securities. Although economic conditions are different in each of the emerging-market countries, investors’ reactions to developments in one of these countries may affect the securities of issuers in the others. For example, adverse developments in emerging market countries may lead to decreased investor interest in the securities of Chilean companies.

 

Our business may be adversely affected if we fail to renew collective bargaining labor agreements on satisfactory terms or experience strikes or other labor unrest.

 

A substantial portion of our employees is covered by collective bargaining labor agreements. These agreements generally expire every year. Our inability to renegotiate these agreements on satisfactory terms could cause work stoppages and interruptions, which may adversely impact our operations. Amendments to the terms and conditions of existing agreements could also increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our operational efficiency. We experience periodic strikes and other forms of labor unrest through the ordinary course of business. We cannot assure you labor interruptions or other labor unrest will not occur in the future. If we experience strikes, work stoppages or other forms of labor unrest at any of our production facilities, our ability to supply beverages to customers could be impaired, which would reduce our net operating revenues and could expose us to customer claims.

 

Our business is subject to extensive regulation, which is complex and subject to change.

 

We are subject to local regulations in each of the territories in which we operate. The principal areas in which we are subject to regulation are water, environment, labor, labelling, taxation, health, consumer protection, advertising and antitrust. Regulation could also affect our ability to set prices for our products. The adoption of new laws or regulations or a stricter interpretation or enforcement thereof in the countries in which we operate may increase our operating costs or impose restrictions on our operations which, in turn, may adversely affect our financial condition, business and results. Further changes in current regulations may result in increased compliance costs, which may have an adverse effect on our results or financial condition.

 

In the past, voluntary price restraints or statutory price controls have been imposed in several of the countries in which we operate. Currently there are no such restraints or price controls applicable to our products in any of the territories in which we operate, except in Argentina. However, we cannot assure you that government authorities in any country in which we operate will not impose statutory price controls, or that we will not be requested to impose voluntary price restraints in the future. The imposition of such restraints or price controls be in the future may have an adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

 

We may be required to incur considerable expenses in order to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Such expenses may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

 

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that apply to our containers, products and activities. If these environmental laws and regulations are strengthened or newly established in jurisdictions in which we conduct our businesses, we might be forced to incur considerable expenses in order to comply with such laws and regulations. We are also subject to uncertainty regarding the interpretation of the environmental laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate, and any ambiguity or uncertainty regarding the interpretation or application of regulations can result in increased production costs or penalties for non-compliance, which are impossible or difficult to predict. Such expenses may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. To the extent we determine that it is not financially sound for us to continue to comply with such laws and regulations, we may have to curtail or discontinue our activities in the affected business areas.

 

If we were to become subject to adverse judgments or determinations in legal proceedings to which we are, or may become, a party, our future profitability could suffer through a reduction of sales, significant liabilities, increased costs or damage to our reputation.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations and governmental and administrative proceedings, some of which are or may be significant. Adverse judgments or determinations in one or more of these proceedings could require us to change the way we do business or use substantial resources in adhering to the settlements. These could have a material adverse effect on our business, including, among other consequences, by significantly increasing the costs required to operate our business. Ineffective communications during or after these proceedings could amplify the negative effects, if any, of these

proceedings on our reputation and may result in a negative market impact on the price of our securities. Additionally, adverse preliminary decisions in one or more of these proceedings may require the use of substantial financial resources during its review by a higher court. We evaluate these litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and/or disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from our current assessments and estimates.

 

In addition, during recent years, the Company has been subject to judicial proceedings and administrative investigations associated with alleged monopolistic practices. Although these processes and investigations have not resulted in any convictions or penalties for the Company, we cannot assure that this will not occur in the future. Ineffective communications, during or after these procedures or investigations, or possible sanctions in matters of competition, could have an adverse effect on our business.

 

The countries in which we operate may adopt new tax laws or modify existing laws to increase taxes applicable to our business or reduce existing tax incentives.

 

We cannot assure you that any governmental authority in any country where we operate will not impose new taxes or increase the taxes on our products in the future. The imposition of new taxes or increases in taxes may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results.

 

For example, in Chile on September 29, 2014 Law 20.780 was enacted which was subsequently amended by Law 20.899, on February 8, 2016 (the “Tax Reform”). The Tax Reform provides a “Transitional Regime” for calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016 and a “Permanent Regime” for calendar years 2017 and thereafter.

 

In the Permanent Regime, for the years 2017 and following, corporations (“sociedades anónimas”) are subject to the Semi-Integrated Regime established in article 14(B) of the Chilean Income Law, in accordance with which the Company will be subject to the First Category corporate tax with a rate of 27% on accrued yearly earnings. Dividends paid to shareholders without domicile or residence in Chile are taxed with the additional withholding tax of 35%, maintaining the right to credit against the latter 100% of the First Category Tax (without prejudice to the debit or refund referred to in the subsequent paragraph). Local shareholders who are natural persons remain affected by progressive rates, but with new tranches ranging from 0% to 35%, with the right to credit for First Category tax rate with the limitation indicated below.

 

Notwithstanding the above, local shareholders and shareholders domiciled in countries that have not entered into a treaty to avoid double taxation with Chile, can only credit 65% of corporate income tax, which results in a total tax burden on profits distributed to those shareholders of 44.45%. The credit limitation is made by establishing a debit (restitution) to the shareholder equal to 35% of corporate income tax. This tax debit does not apply to dividends paid to a shareholder resident in a country that has an existing treaty to avoid double taxation with Chile and, until 2021, this exemption also applies to dividends paid in a country where such a treaty has been signed but is not yet in force.

 

The same reform increased the additional tax on non-alcoholic beverages with sugar from 13% to 18% and reduced the additional tax on non-alcoholic beverages without sugar from 13% to 10%.

 

In Argentina in December 2017, a tax reform was passed, which became effective in 2018. The most significant consequence for the Company is the reduction of the former 35% income tax rate to 30% for the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years and from 2020 onwards the rate decreases to 25%. However, this reduction is available only if profits are reinvested, as otherwise a tax is due at the time of the dividend distribution at a rate of 13% for the first two years and of 7% from 2020 onwards.

 

In relation to gross income tax, in 2018 there was a 2% average reduction in the gross income tax rate for industry activity in provinces where Andina Argentina has no productive plants. Municipal rates in 2018 remained unchanged, with few insignificant exceptions.

 

Andina Argentina enjoys the benefit of zero tax rate on gross income in the province of Córdoba until the year 2021 under an industrial promotion.

 

If we do not successfully comply with laws and regulations designed to combat governmental corruption in countries in which we sell our products, we could become subject to fines, penalties or other regulatory sanctions and our sales and profitability could suffer.

 

Although we are committed to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner in compliance with local and international statutory requirements and standards applicable to our business, there is a risk that our employees or representatives may take actions

that violate applicable laws and regulations that generally prohibit the making of improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business, including laws relating to the 1997 OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions or the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

 

We may not be able to recruit or retain key personnel.

 

The implementation of our strategic business plans could be undermined by a failure to recruit or retain key personnel or the unexpected loss of senior employees, including in acquired companies. We face various challenges inherent in the management of a large number of employees over diverse geographical regions. Key employees may choose to leave their employment for a variety of reasons, including reasons beyond our control. The impact of the departure of key employees cannot be determined and may depend on, among other things, our ability to recruit other individuals of similar experience and skill. It is not certain that we will be able to attract or retain key employees and successfully manage them, which could disrupt our business and have an unfavorable material effect on our financial position, income from operations and competitive position.

 

A devaluation of the currencies of the countries where we have our operations, with regard to the Chilean peso, can negatively affect the results reported by the Company in Chilean pesos.

 

The Company reports its results in Chilean pesos, while a large part of its revenues and Adjusted EBITDA comes from countries that use other currencies. In 2018, 65.9% of our revenues, and 63.3% of Adjusted EBITDA came from Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Specifically, in 2018, 24.7% of the Company’s revenues were generated in Argentina, 32.3% in Brazil, and 8.9% in Paraguay, while 18.5% of Adjusted EBITDA was generated in Argentina, 32.7% in Brazil, and 12.0% in Paraguay. If the currencies of these countries depreciate against the Chilean peso, this would have a negative effect on the results and financial condition of the Company, which are reported in Chilean pesos.

 

The imposition of exchange controls could restrict the entry and exit of funds to and from the countries in which we operate, which could significantly limit our financial capacity.

 

The imposition of exchange controls in the countries in which we operate could affect our ability to repatriate profits, which could significantly limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. Additionally, it may limit the ability of our foreign subsidiaries to finance payments of U.S. dollar denominated liabilities required by foreign creditors.

 

Negative information on social media and similar platforms could adversely affect our reputation.

 

Negative or inaccurate information concerning us or The Coca-Cola trademarks may be posted on social media and similar platforms of Internet-based communications at any time. This information may affect our reputation, and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Relating to Chile

 

Our growth and profitability depend on economic conditions in Chile.

 

39.4% of our assets as of December 31, 2018 and 34.1% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 corresponded to our operations in Chile.

 

International and local economic crisis may adversely affect the Chilean economy, and unfavorable general economic conditions could negatively affect the affordability of and demand for some of our products. In difficult economic conditions, consumers may seek to reduce discretionary spending by forgoing purchases of our products or buying low cost brands offered by competitors. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

According to data published by the Central Bank, the Chilean economy grew at a rate of 1.8% in 2014, 2.3% in 2015, 1.3% in 2016, 1.5% in 2017 and according to the Monetary Policy Report of Chile’s Central Bank, at around a rate of 4% in 2018. Our financial condition and results of operations could also be adversely affected by changes over which we have no control, including, without limitation:

 

·                  the economic or other policies of the Chilean government, which has a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector;

·                  other political or economic developments in or affecting Chile;

·                  regulatory changes or administrative practices of Chilean authorities;

·                  inflation and governmental policies to combat inflation;

·                  currency exchange movements; and

·                  global and regional economic conditions.

 

We cannot assure you that the future development of the Chilean economy will not impair our ability to successfully carry out our business plan or materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Inflation in Chile and government measures to curb inflation may disrupt our business and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Although Chilean inflation has decreased in recent years, Chile has experienced significant levels of inflation in the past. The annual rates of inflation in Chile, which in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 were 4.6%, 4.4%, 2.7%, 2.3% and 2.6%, respectively, as measured by changes in the consumer price index and as reported by the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas, or the Chilean National Institute of Statistics), could adversely affect the Chilean economy and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations if we are unable to increase our prices in line with inflation. We cannot assure you that Chilean inflation will not revert to significant inflation in the future.

 

The measures taken by the Central Bank to control inflation have often included maintaining a conservative monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and economic growth. Inflation, measures to combat inflation, and public speculation about possible additional actions have also contributed to economic uncertainty in Chile and to heightened volatility in its securities markets. Periods of higher inflation may also slow the growth rate of the Chilean economy, which could lead to reduced demand for our products and decreased sales. Inflation is also likely to increase some of our costs and expenses, given that the majority of our supply contracts are UF-denominated or are indexed to the Chilean consumer price index. Due to competition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to realize price increases, which could adversely impact our operating margins and operating income. Additionally, an important part of our financial debt is UF-denominated, and therefore the value of the debt reflects any increase of the inflation in Chile.

 

The Chilean peso is subject to depreciation and volatility, which could adversely affect our business.

 

The Chilean government’s economic policies and any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our operations and financial results. The Chilean peso has been subject to large nominal devaluations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. The main drivers of exchange rate volatility in past years were the significant fluctuations of commodity prices, as well as general uncertainty and trade imbalances in the global markets. The value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

 

A significant part of the raw materials used by the company in Chile are in U.S. dollars, so a devaluation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar can affect our costs and margins in a significant way.

 

Based on the observed exchange rates for U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Chilean peso depreciated 15.7%, 14.7%, -5.7%, -7.8%, and 13.1%, respectively, relative to the U.S. dollar in nominal terms.

 

A severe earthquake or tsunami in Chile could adversely affect the Chilean economy and our network infrastructure.

 

Chile lies on the Nazca tectonic plate, one of the world’s most seismically active regions. Chile has been adversely affected by powerful earthquakes in the past, including an 8.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Santiago in 1985 and a 9.5 magnitude earthquake in 1960 which is the largest earthquake ever recorded.

 

On February 27, 2010, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck the central and south-central regions of Chile. The quake epicenter was located 200 miles southwest of Santiago and 70 miles north of Concepción, Chile’s second largest city. The regions of Bío Bío and Maule were the most severely affected regions, especially the coastal area, which, shortly after the earthquake, was hit by a tsunami that significantly damaged cities and port facilities. The regions of Valparaíso and Metropolitan region were also severely affected. At least 1.5 million homes were damaged, and more than 500 people were killed. As a result of these developments, economic activity in Chile was adversely affected in March 2010. Legislation was passed to raise the corporate income tax rate in order to pay for reconstruction following the earthquake and tsunami, which had an adverse effect on our results. The legislation increased the corporate income tax rate from 17.0% to 20.0%.

 

A severe earthquake and/or tsunami in Chile in the future could have an adverse impact on the Chilean economy and on our production and logistics network, including our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Relating to Brazil

 

Our business operations in Brazil are dependent on economic conditions in Brazil.

 

36.8% of our assets at December 31, 2018 and 32.3% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 corresponded to our operations in Brazil.

Because demand for soft drinks and beverage products is usually correlated to economic conditions prevailing in the relevant local market, which in turn is dependent on the macroeconomic condition of the country in which the market is located, our financial condition and results of operations to a considerable extent are dependent upon political and economic conditions prevailing in Brazil. The Brazilian economy is also affected by international economic and market conditions in general, especially economic and market conditions in the United States. The Brazilian economy is therefore subject to uncertainties and risks related to changes in economic conditions and policy measures in countries such as the United States and China, as well as the European Union and elsewhere.

 

In Brazil GDP growth rates were 1.9%, 3.0% and 0.5% in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. In 2015 as well as 2016 GDP decreased 3.5% and 3.3%, respectively, but in 2017 and 2018 GDP increased 1.1% and 1.3%, respectively.

 

The Brazilian government exercises significant influence over the Brazilian economy, which together with historically volatile Brazilian political, social and economic conditions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Brazilian economy has historically been characterized by interventions by the Brazilian government and unstable economic cycles. The Brazilian government has often changed monetary, price controls, taxation, credit, tariff and other policies to influence the course of Brazil’s economy. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected by, among others, the following factors:

 

·                  exchange rate fluctuations;

·                  expansion or contraction of the Brazilian economy, as measured by rates of growth in gross domestic product (GDP);

·                  high inflation rates;

·                  changes in fiscal or monetary policies;

·                  increase in interest rates;

·                  exchange control policies;

·                  volatility and liquidity of domestic capital and credit markets;

·                  changes in climate and weather patterns;

·                  energy or water shortages or rationalization, particularly in light of water shortages in parts of Brazil;

·                  changes in environmental regulation;

·                  social and political instability, particularly in light of recent protests against the government; and

·                  other economic, political, diplomatic and social developments in or affecting Brazil, including with respect to alleged unethical or illegal conduct of certain figures in the Brazilian government and legislators, which are currently under investigation.

 

Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by the economic conditions in Brazil. In addition, protests, strikes and corruption scandals, including the “Lava Jato” investigation, have led to a fall in confidence and a political crisis. In August 2016, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was impeached and removed from office for violations of fiscal responsibility laws and the then-Vice-President Temer assumed office to complete the remainder of the presidential mandate.

 

The development of the investigations conducted by the Federal Police Department and the General Federal Prosecutor’s Office during 2017 has increased uncertainty with respect to the future prospects of the Brazilian market. The Brazilian Superior Electoral Court (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral) in a 4 to 3 vote acquitted Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer of charges of illegal campaign financing. However, during 2018 the former president Luís Inácio Lula da Silva was sentenced to 12 years of prison on corruption charges uncovered by the Lava Jato operation. Michel Temer, the former Vice-President, who assumed the presidency of Brazil following Rousseff’s ouster, was arrested as part of corruption investigations in March 2019.We cannot predict whether these investigations and lawsuits will bring about further economic and political instability or if new allegations against high officers of the Brazilian Federal Government will arise in the future.

 

Jair Bolsonaro was elected as the new President of Brazil on October 28, 2018. He has been in office since January 1, 2019. His election led to a market resurgence and the recovery of the value of local stock and the Brazilian real. However, we cannot assure that such confidence in the market will remain, nor that the policies promoted by the new government will be beneficial to our operations.

 

The political crisis could worsen the economic conditions in Brazil, which may worsen purchasing power, consumption and supply chain costs and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Inflation and the Brazilian government’s measures to curb inflation, including by increasing interest rates, may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil, adversely affecting the operations of Andina Brazil, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Brazil has historically experienced high rates of inflation. Several measures have been taken by the Federal Government in order to control it, but it is impossible to assure these will be successful. Historically, the annual inflation rates recorded in Brazil before 1995 were extremely high and included periods of hyperinflation. According to the National Amplified Consumer Price Index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo, or “IPCA”), published by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, “IBGE”), Brazilian consumer price inflation rates were, 5.9% in 2013, 6.4% in 2014, 10.7% in 2015, 6.3% in 2016, 2.9% in 2017 and 3.7% in 2018. Future governmental actions, including actions to adjust the value of the real, may trigger increases in inflation. Considering this history and the uncertainty around the Brazilian government’s policies, we cannot provide any assurance that inflation rates in Brazil will not increase more and if that inflation will not affect our business in the future.

 

Exchange rate instability could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Brazilian currency has fluctuated over the past three decades. Throughout this period, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly), exchange controls, dual exchange market and floating exchange rate systems. Although long-term devaluation of the real is generally related to the rate of inflation in Brazil, the devaluation of the real over shorter periods has resulted in significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Brazilian currency, the U.S. dollar and other currencies.

 

The exchange rate in Brazil depreciated by 1.5% in 2017 and 17.1% in 2018 against the U.S. dollar. We cannot guarantee that the real will not again depreciate or appreciate against the U.S. dollar in the future. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any deprecation or appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar or other currencies will not have an adverse effect on our business.

 

A significant part of the raw materials used by the Company in Brazil are in U.S. dollars, so a devaluation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar can affect our costs and margins in a significant way.

 

Depreciation of the real against major foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar, could create additional inflationary pressures in Brazil and cause the Central Bank to increase interest rates in an effort to steady the economy. In turn, these measures could negatively affect the growth of the Brazilian economy as a whole and may harm our financial condition and our results of operations, curtail access to foreign financial markets and prompt government intervention, including efforts to avoid recession. Depreciation of the real can also, as in the context of an economic slowdown, lead to a decrease in consumer spending, deflationary pressures and reduced growth in the Brazilian economy as a whole.

 

In contrast, appreciation of the real relative to the major foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar, could lead to a deterioration of Brazilian current accounts, as well as foreign exchange current accounts, and also affect export-driven growth. Depending on the circumstances, either depreciation or appreciation of the real could materially and adversely affect the growth of the Brazilian economy and us.

 

Changes in tax laws may increase our tax burden and, as a result, negatively affect our profitability.

 

The Brazilian government regularly implements changes to tax regimes that may increase our and our customers’ tax burdens. These changes include modifications in the tax rates and, on occasion, enactment of temporary taxes, the proceeds of which are earmarked for designated governmental purposes. In the past, the Brazilian government has presented certain tax reform proposals, which have been mainly designed to simplify the Brazilian tax system, to avoid internal disputes within and between the Brazilian states and municipalities, and to redistribute tax revenues. The tax reform proposals provide for changes in the rules governing the federal Social Integration Program (Programa de Integração Social, or “PIS”) and Social Security Contribution (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social, or “COFINS”) taxes, the state Tax on the Circulation of Merchandise and Services (Imposto Sobre a Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços, or “ICMS”) and some other taxes, such as increases in payroll taxes. These proposals may not be approved and passed into law. The effects of these proposed tax reform measures and any other changes that result from enactment of additional tax reforms have not been, and cannot be, quantified. However, some of these measures, if enacted, may result in increases in our overall tax burden, which could negatively affect our overall financial performance.

 

During 2018, the Brazilian government reduced the value-added tax on industrialized products (Imposto sobre Productos Industrializados or IPI) applicable to soft drinks concentrate, from 20% to 4%. This measure has negatively affected our operations, since it significantly reduced the tax credit derived from the purchases of concentrate from the Manaus free zone that currently benefits Rio de Janeiro Refrescos, and the soft drinks industry as a whole.

Given the high tax burden in Brazil, federal and state authorities of that country offer a series of significant tax incentives to certain territories and/or localities in order to attract investment, particularly for manufacturers and other companies operating and investing in Brazil. Coca-Cola Andina Brazil has received some of these tax incentives and its results are strongly influenced by these incentives. Although these incentives have been renewed in the past, we cannot assure that they will continue to be renewed in the future. Termination, non-extension or non-renewal of said tax incentives could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

Tax proceedings may result in a significant tax liability

 

Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. is party in several tax procedures in which the Brazilian federal tax authorities argue the alleged existence of liabilities associated with value added tax on industrialized products (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados or IPI) for an approximate total amount of BRL 1,990,400,000. These proceedings are at different administrative as well as judicial procedural stages. We disagree with the Brazilian tax authorities’ position and believe that Ipiranga was entitled to claim IPI tax credits in connection with its purchases of certain exempt raw materials from suppliers located in the Manaus Free Trade Zone. We believe that the Brazilian tax authorities’ claims are without merit. Our external Brazilian counsel has advised us that it believes that Ipiranga’s likelihood of loss in most of these proceedings is classified as possible to remote (i.e., approximately 30% likelihood). Despite the foregoing, the outcome of these claims is subject to uncertainty, and it is impossible to predict its final resolution.

 

The eventual termination of the Heineken product distribution agreement could adversely affect our profitability

 

In July 2017 Heineken Brazil unilaterally notified the termination of the agreement by virtue of which Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. commercializes and distributes Heineken brand beers in our franchise territories in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. understands that the expiration of this agreement is scheduled for the year 2022, which is why we submitted this dispute to an arbitration process.

 

While we continue to market the aforementioned products, and Heineken Brazil remains obligated to distribute its products through The Coca-Cola System during the course of the arbitration process indicated above, the final result is subject to uncertainty, and it is not possible for us to predict its final resolution. An unfavorable result of this arbitration process could result in an early termination of the agreement according to which Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. commercializes and distributes Heineken brand beers, which could have a significant adverse impact on our business in Brazil. Heineken products represent 18.7% of our revenues in Brazil during 2018.

 

Risks Relating to Argentina

 

Our business operations in Argentina are dependent on economic conditions in Argentina.

 

10.9% of our assets as of December 31, 2018 and 24.7% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 corresponded to our operations in Argentina.

 

Historically, the Argentine economy has experienced periods of high levels of instability and volatility, low or negative economic growth and high and variable inflation and devaluation levels. During 2001 and 2002, Argentina went through a period of major political, economic and social instability, which led to a partial default by Argentina in the payment of its sovereign debt, and the devaluation of the peso in January 2002, after over ten years of parity with the U.S. dollar. Although general economic conditions in Argentina have recovered significantly during the past years, there is uncertainty as to whether this recovery is sustainable. This is mainly because recent economic growth was initially dependent on a significant devaluation of the Argentine peso, a high excess production capacity resulting from a long period of deep recession and high commodity prices. According to the INDEC (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos, or the National Statistics and Census Institute), GDP growth in real terms in Argentina was 10.1% in 2010, 6.0% in 2011, -1.0% in 2012, 2.4% in 2013, -2.5% in 2014, 2.6% in 2015, -1.8% in 2016, 2.9% in 2017 and -2.5% in 2018. We cannot assure you that Argentine GDP will increase or remain stable in the future. Domestic and external economic crisis, the international demand for Argentine products, the instability and competitiveness of the Argentine peso against foreign currencies, confidence among consumers and foreign and domestic investors, the inflation rate and future financial and economic uncertainties, among other factors, may affect the development of the Argentine economy.

 

Political and economic instability in Argentina may recur, which could have a material adverse effect on our Argentine operations and on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

In the period from 1998 through 2003, Argentina experienced acute economic difficulties that culminated in the restructuring of substantially all its sovereign indebtedness. There was a succession of presidents during this crisis period and various states of emergency were declared that suspended civil liberties and instituted restrictions on transfers of funds abroad and foreign exchange

controls, among other measures. Argentina’s GDP contracted 10.9% in 2002. Beginning in 2003, Argentine GDP began to recover and from 2004 to 2008 recorded an average rate of growth of 8.4%.

 

The global economic crisis of 2008 led to a sudden economic decline, accompanied by political and social unrest, inflationary and Argentine peso depreciation pressures, and lack of consumer and investor confidence, which have forced the Argentine government to adopt different measures, including the tightening of foreign exchange controls, the elimination of subsidies to the private sector and the proposal for new taxes.

 

In October 2019, Argentine presidential, legislative and certain provincial and municipal governments elections will be held. The uncertainty relating to electoral campaigns and the result of the elections, or uncertainty regarding whether the new Argentine Government will implement changes in policy or regulation, could adversely affect the Argentine economy.

 

On the other hand, until December 2015, the Argentine government increased its intervention level in some of the areas of the economy. For example, in May of 2012, the Argentine government nationalized YPF S.A., Argentina’s largest and previously Spanish-owned oil company, which was originally an Argentinian state-owned entity. Expropriations and other interventions by the Argentine government such as the one relating to YPF can have an adverse impact on the level of foreign investment in Argentina, the access of Argentine companies to the international capital markets and Argentina’s commercial and diplomatic relations with other countries. Despite the change in government that occurred in December 2015, the level of governmental intervention in the economy in the future may continue, which may have adverse effects on Argentina’s economy and, in turn, our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We cannot provide assurance that the Argentine government will not adopt policies that could adversely affect the Argentine economy or our business. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future economic, social and political developments in Argentina, over which we have no control, will not impair our businesses, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot provide assurance that future economic instability, over which we have no control, will impair our business, our net worth or financial condition or the results of our operations.

 

The Argentine government could impose certain restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad, which could affect the timing and amount of any dividends or other payment we receive from our Argentine subsidiary.

 

In 2001 and 2002, the Argentine government implemented a number of monetary and currency exchange control measures, which included restrictions on the withdrawal of funds deposited with banks and stringent restrictions on the outflow of foreign currency from Argentina, including for purposes of paying principal and interest on debt and distributing dividends. From December 2011 to November 2015, the Argentine Government imposed additional restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency and certain transfers of funds out of Argentina and reduced the time required to comply with certain transfers of funds into Argentina. During December 2015, these restrictions began to be reviewed and removed by the current administration in order to normalize the  exchange-rate policy.

 

Under current Argentine law, we may declare and distribute dividends with respect to our Argentine subsidiary and Argentine banks may lawfully process payments of those dividends to us and other non-resident shareholders. Our declaration and distribution of dividends is subject to certain statutory requirements and must be consistent with our audited financial statements. The processing of payment of dividends by Argentine banks is subject to Argentine Central Bank regulations, including verification of our Argentine subsidiary’s compliance with foreign debt and direct investment disclosure obligations. In addition to statutory and administrative rules affecting our Argentine subsidiary’s payment of dividends, during 2012 the Argentine government imposed discretionary restrictions on Argentine companies as part of a policy to limit outbound transfers of U.S. dollars. From 2010 until the beginning of 2016 these restrictions halted dividend payments to non-resident shareholders. At the start of 2016, the new administration began decreasing these restrictions which enabled us to begin withdrawing earnings from our Argentine subsidiary. There are currently no restrictions imposed by the Argentine government to withdraw earnings from Argentina. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that we will be able to cause our Argentine subsidiary to distribute dividends to its non-resident shareholders, despite otherwise meeting all statutory and regulatory requirements for payment.

 

Argentina’s government may impose certain restrictions on imports, which could have an impact in our operations.

 

Since February 2012, pursuant to a resolution of the Argentine Federal Tax Authority (“Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos—AFIP”) Argentine importers were required to file a “Prior Import Statement” (“Declaración Jurada Anticipada de Importación—DJAI”) with the AFIP providing information on future imports. Compliance with this requirement, was verified by the Argentine customs upon arrival of the goods into Argentina and was a condition for the authorization of the payment of the purchase price by the Argentine fiscal entities. Although this was intended merely as an information gathering regime, it may in the future be used for purposes of restricting imports into Argentina. A similar regime was also imposed in respect of the import and export of

services (known by its initials as “DJAS”) and resulted in additional restrictions being imposed on the payments made by Argentine residents on services provided by foreign residents. While the change in the Argentine government that occurred in December 2015 relaxed restrictions on imports of goods and services and replaced the Prior Import Statement system described above with a Comprehensive System of Monitoring Imports (Sistema Integral de Monitoreo de Importaciones— (SIMI), together with the implementation of automatic and non-automatic licenses), and repealed the requirements of the DJAS, we cannot assure that these restrictions will be completely removed as certain discretion still remains over certain goods. Restrictions on Argentine imports of goods and services of our subsidiaries may adversely affect our financial conditions or results of operations.

 

Inflation in Argentina may adversely affect our operations, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Argentina has experienced high levels of inflation in recent decades, resulting in large devaluations of its currency. Argentina’s historically high rates of inflation resulted mainly from its lack of control over fiscal policy and its money supply. According to the INDEC, the official annual rates of inflation for the years 2014 and 2015 (date until October 2015 since the INDEC suspended its report thereafter) were 23.9% and 11.8%, respectively. Moreover, after changes in personnel and in the methodology used to calculate the consumer price index at the INDEC in 2007, the accuracy of its past measurements has been put into doubt by economists and investors. The actual consumer price index and wholesale price index may therefore be substantially higher than those indicated by the INDEC for years prior to December 2015. With the change of the Argentine Government in December 2015, INDEC suspended the issuance of reports on the consumer and wholesale price indices until April 2016, at which time it began disseminating a new CPI monthly series, without reporting the months prior to April 2016. Inflation according to INDEC for 2017 was 24.8% and 47.6% for 2018. We cannot assure that INDEC will not be suspended again in the future, which could cause a significant decrease in confidence in the Argentine economy, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

 

During 2018, Argentina was declared as a hyperinflationary economy by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States of America, and the International Accounting Standards Board. According to IAS 29-IFRS “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies” does not prescribe when hyperinflation arises, but includes several characteristics of hyperinflation. In order to determine whether an economy qualifies as hyperinflationary within the meaning of IAS 29, the standard contemplates a series of qualitative and quantitative factors to be considered, including the existence of a three-year cumulative inflation rate close to or higher than 100%. In this sense, for accounting purposes, Argentina is considered as a hyperinflationary country, as inflation rates for the past three years were 40.9%, 24.8% and 47.6%, in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Accordingly, since July 2018, the Company began to apply IAS 29 of IFRS regarding its financial reports, requiring to report the results of its operations in Argentina as if this economy was hyperinflationary from January 1, 2018 and, as a result, restate accumulated results as of that month. In addition, by application of IAS 29, we had to translate figures in Argentine pesos to Chilean pesos using the period closing exchange rate (and not the average exchange rate), thus reducing the Company’s results of operations and net earnings. We do not know how long this situation will persist.

 

In the past, inflation has materially undermined the Argentine economy and the government’s ability to generate conditions that foster economic growth. In addition, high inflation or a high level of price instability may materially and adversely affect the business volume of the financial system. This result, in turn, could adversely affect the level of economic activity and employment in the country.

 

High inflation would also undermine Argentina’s foreign competitiveness and adversely affect economic activity, employment, real salaries, consumption and interest rates. In addition, a dilution of the positive effects of the Argentine peso devaluation on the export-oriented sectors of the Argentine economy, even with the elimination of the exchange restriction, could decrease the level of economic activity in the country. In turn, a portion of the Argentine debt is adjusted by the Coeficiente de Estabilización de Referencia, the Stabilization Coefficient Index, a currency index that is strongly tied to inflation. Therefore, any significant increase in inflation would cause an increase in Argentina’s debt and, consequently, the country’s financial obligations. A high level of uncertainty with respect to these economic indicators, and a general lack of stability with respect to inflation, could cause a shortening of contract terms and affect the ability of businesses to plan and make decisions, thereby materially and adversely affecting economic activity and consumers’ income and their purchasing power, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

 

The Argentine peso is subject to depreciation and volatility, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

After several years of price stability in Argentina, the devaluation of the Argentine peso in January 2002 imposed pressures on the domestic price system that generated high inflation throughout 2002. The devaluation had an adverse effect on the ability of Argentine companies to make timely payments on their foreign currency denominated obligations, generating high inflation throughout 2002, significantly reducing real salaries and adversely affecting companies that were focused on the domestic market,

such as public service companies and financial companies. It also adversely affected the ability of the government to honor its foreign debt obligations.

 

In late 2011 the Argentine government implemented a series of measures aimed at maintaining the level of reserves of the Banco Central de la República Argentina (“BCRA”). As part of that effort, during the last quarter of 2011 until December 2015 new measures were implemented to limit the purchase of foreign currency by private companies and individuals. Access to the foreign exchange market requires authorization of the tax authorities, among other restrictions. As a result, the implied exchange rate in the quotation of Argentine securities that traded in foreign markets and in the local market increased significantly. During the year 2015 these restrictions continued increasing, making operations to withdraw payments to overseas suppliers highly complex. In January 2015, the purchase of dollars per day was limited to US$300,000. By the middle of the year, this limit had been decreased to US$75,000 and by year end was US$50,000, which forced companies to split foreign import payments and caused some companies to reduce their importation of certain inputs. On December 17, 2015, after the devaluation of the Argentine Peso, the split exchange rate market was reunified with the return of the “Free Exchange Market” (Mercado Libre de Cambio) and many restrictions on acquisition of foreign exchange and payments to overseas suppliers were eliminated. However, we cannot assure that such restrictions may not be implemented again in the future.

 

The exchange rate in Argentina depreciated 17.4% in 2017 and 102.2% during 2018 compared with the closing exchange rate for the U.S. dollar for the end of the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, respectively. The strong devaluation of the exchange rate during 2018 had a significant impact over our consolidated results.

 

Also, a significant part of the raw materials used by the company in Argentina are in U.S. dollars, so a devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar can affect our costs and margins in a significant way.

 

Given the economic and political conditions in Argentina, we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, the value of the Argentine peso may depreciate or appreciate against the U.S. dollar, the euro or other foreign currencies. With the change of the Argentine Government in December 2015, the exchange market was partially deregulated, and the gap between the exchange rate published by the BCRA and the black-market exchange rate was considerably reduced. We cannot predict how these conditions will affect the consumption of our products. Moreover, we cannot predict whether the new Argentine government will continue its monetary, fiscal, and exchange rate policy amendments and if so, what impact any of these changes could have on the value of the Argentine peso and, accordingly, on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and on our ability to transfer funds abroad in order to comply with commercial or financial obligations.

 

Government measures to preempt or respond to social unrest may adversely affect the Argentine economy and our business.

 

During the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002, Argentina experienced significant social and political turmoil, including civil unrest, riots, looting, nationwide protests, strikes and street demonstrations. Despite Argentina’s economic recovery and relative stabilization, social and political tension and high levels of poverty and unemployment continue. In 2008, Argentina faced nationwide strikes and protests. In November of 2012 there was a general strike led by opposition trade unions. The social unrest increased during the last months of 2012, and in December 2012 additional riots occurred, in addition to lootings of shops and supermarkets in cities around the country.

 

Future government policies to preempt, or in response to, social unrest may include expropriation, nationalization, forced renegotiation or modification of existing contracts, suspension of the enforcement of creditors’ rights, new taxation policies and changes in laws and policies affecting foreign trade and investment. Such policies could destabilize the country and adversely and materially affect the Argentine economy, and thereby our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The government may order salary increases to be paid to employees in the private sector, which could increase our operating costs and affect our results of operations.

 

In the past, the Argentine government has passed laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to increase wages and provide specified benefits to employees and may do so again in the future. Due to the high levels of inflation, labor organizations are demanding significant wage increases. In 2014, 2015,2016, 2017 and 2018 the increase of the vital and mobile minimum salary was 33%, 27%, 35%, 17% and 28%, respectively, and for these same years the market average salary increase for workers was 30%, 32%, 33%, 26% and 32%, respectively.

 

In the future, the government could take new measures requiring salary increases or additional benefits for workers, and the labor force and labor unions may apply pressure in support of such measures. Any such increase in wages or worker benefit could result in added costs and reduced results of operations for Argentine companies, including us.

Legislative and public policy changes in Argentina could affect our business.

 

In 2015 a new Civil and Commercial Code of the Republic of Argentina went into force that regulates all legal relations of our Argentine subsidiary with its customers, suppliers and consumers. In addition, the new Argentine government which took office in December 2015 has announced that it is considering various bills that could amend Argentinian legislation on issues such as tax, customs, social security, labor, and commerce, among other areas. Also, the government has announced changes in various public policies, including an increase in controls under the competition act. We cannot guarantee that these legislative amendments, if approved, may not adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations of our Argentine subsidiaries.

 

In November 2017, Congress passed Law No. 27,401 (Criminal Liability Regime for Private Legal Persons Law) which came into force on March 2018. This law sets forth the criminal responsibility of legal entities for crimes against public administration and transnational bribery committed by their shareholders, attorneys, directors, managers, employees or representatives, among others.

 

In May 2017, the new Anti-Trust Law (Law No. 27,442) that among its main amendments, establishes per se anti-trust practices “per se” (such as pricing, market share, limitations to production and coordination in bids) while hardening penalties for anti-trust behavior, and establishes joint liability to “controlling persons” when by action or omission of their duties of control, supervision or surveillance they would have contributed, induced or allowed the committing of infringement.

 

Because these laws have been recently enacted or came into force, we cannot assure you how the Argentine government will apply these laws, nor whether such application will not affect our business.

 

Risks Relating to Paraguay

 

Our business operations in Paraguay are dependent on economic conditions in Paraguay.

 

12.9% of our assets as of December 31, 2018 and 8.9% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 corresponded to our operations in Paraguay. Because demand for soft drinks and beverage products is generally related to the economic conditions prevailing in the local market which, in turn, depend on the macroeconomic and political conditions of the country, our financial situation and our results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in these factors over which we have no control.

 

GDP in Paraguay for the year 2018 grew by 4.0%, according to preliminary figures from the Central Bank of Paraguay published in the month of December of 2018, compared to growth of 5.0% in 2017, 4.3% in 2016, 3.1% in 2015 and 4.7% in 2014. Paraguayan GDP is closely tied to the performance of Paraguay’s agricultural sector, which can be volatile.

 

The situation of the Paraguayan economy is strongly influenced by the economic situation in Argentina and Brazil. A deterioration in the economic situation of these countries could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

 

Inflation in Paraguay may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Although the inflation in Paraguay has remained stable at around 4% during the last 5 years, we cannot assure that inflation in Paraguay will not increase significantly. An increase in inflation in Paraguay could decrease the purchasing power of our consumers in the country, which could adversely affect our volumes and impact our sales income.

 

The Paraguayan guaraní is subject to depreciation and volatility, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The exchange rate of Paraguay is free and floating and the Banco Central de Paraguay, or Paraguay Central Bank (“BCP”), actively participates in the exchange market in order to reduce volatility. However, since approximately 25% of our total costs for raw material and supplies are denominated in US dollars, a significant depreciation of the local currency could adversely affect our financial situation and results, such as income and margins, other expenses, such as professional fees and maintenance costs.

 

The exchange rate in Paraguay depreciated by 6.6% in 2018 and appreciated by 3.1% in 2017 compared to the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar at the close of each fiscal year.

 

The local currency follows regional and global trends. When the U.S. dollar’s value increases, and raw materials lose value in Paraguay, this directly impacts Paraguay’s generation of foreign exchange which occurs mainly through the export of raw materials.

Risk Factors Relating to the ADRs and Common Stock

 

Preemptive rights may be unavailable to ADR holders.

 

According to the Ley de Sociedades Anónimas No.18,046 and the Reglamento de Sociedades Anónimas (collectively, the “Chilean Companies Law”), whenever we issue new shares for cash, we are required to grant preemptive rights to holders of our shares (including shares represented by ADRs), giving them the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. However, we may not be able to offer shares to United States holders of ADRs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to our shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is effective with respect to such rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is available.

 

Under the procedure established by the Central Bank of Chile, the foreign investment agreement of a Chilean company with an existing ADR program will become subject to an amendment (which will also be deemed to incorporate all laws and regulations applicable to international offerings in effect as of the date of the amendment) that will extend the benefits of such contract to new shares issued pursuant to a preemptive rights offering to existing ADR owners and to other persons residing and domiciled outside of Chile that exercise preemptive rights, upon request to the Central Bank of Chile. We intend to evaluate at the time of any rights offering the costs and potential liabilities associated with any such registration statement as well as the indirect benefits to us of enabling United States ADR holders to exercise preemptive rights and any other factors that we consider appropriate at the time, and then make a decision as to whether to file such registration statement.

 

We cannot assure you that any registration statement would be filed. To the extent ADR holders are unable to exercise such rights because a registration statement has not been filed, the depositary will attempt to sell such holders’ preemptive rights and distribute the net proceeds thereof if a secondary market for such rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of any such sale. If such rights cannot be sold, they will expire, and ADR holders will not realize any value from the grant of such preemptive rights. In any such case, such holder’s equity interest in the Company would be diluted proportionately.

 

Shareholders’ rights are less well-defined in Chile than in other jurisdictions, including the United States.

 

Under the United States federal securities laws, as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules that apply to domestic United States issuers with equity securities registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the proxy solicitation rules, the rules requiring disclosure of share ownership by directors, officers and certain shareholders. We are also exempt from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., including the requirements concerning independent directors.

 

Our corporate affairs are governed by the laws of Chile and our estatutos or bylaws. Under such laws, our shareholders may have fewer or less well-defined rights than they might have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction.

 

Pursuant to Law No. 19,705, enacted in December 2000, the controlling shareholders of an open stock corporation can only sell their controlling shares through a tender offer to all shareholders in which the bidder would have to buy all of the offered shares up to the percentage determined by it, where the price paid is substantially higher than the market price (i.e., when the price paid was higher than the average market price for a period starting 90 days before the proposed transaction and ending 30 days before such proposed transaction, plus 10%).

 

The market for our shares may be volatile and illiquid.

 

The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. The Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”), which is Chile’s principal securities exchange, had a market capitalization of approximately US$249,817 million as of December 31, 2018 and an average monthly trading volume of approximately US$4,460 million for the year. The lack of liquidity is owed, in part, to the relatively small size of the Chilean securities markets and may have a material adverse effect on the trading prices of our shares. Because the market for our ADRs depends, in part, on investors’ perception of the value of our underlying shares, this lack of liquidity for our shares in Chile may have a significant effect on the trading prices of our ADRs.

History

 

Chile

 

In 1941, The Coca-Cola Company licensed a private Chilean company to produce Coca-Cola soft drinks in Chile and production began in 1943. In 1946, the original licensee withdrew from the license arrangement and a group of U.S. and Chilean investors formed Andina, which became The Coca-Cola Company’s sole licensee in Chile.

 

Between 1946 and the early 1980s, Andina developed the Chilean market for Coca-Cola soft drinks with a system of production and distribution facilities covering the central and southern regions of Chile. In the early 1980s, Andina sold its Coca-Cola licenses for most areas outside the Santiago metropolitan region and concentrated on the development of its soft drink business in the Santiago area. Although we are no longer the sole Coca-Cola bottler in Chile, we have been the principal manufacturer of Coca-Cola products in Chile for an uninterrupted period of 72 years.

 

In 1998, we purchased a 49% stake in Vital S.A. from The Coca-Cola Company. Concurrently, The Coca-Cola Company purchased Vital S.A. mineral water springs located in Chanqueahue, 80 miles south of Santiago. As part of the transaction, the Vital bottler agreement was replaced with a Minute Maid International Inc., juice bottler agreement and a new mineral water bottling agreement with The Coca-Cola Company.

 

The production and packaging business of water, juices and non-carbonated beverages licensed by The Coca-Cola Company in Chile was restructured in 2005. Vital Aguas S.A. (“VASA”) was created in 2005 in order to develop the processing, production and packaging of mineral water and other waters by Agua Mineral de Chanqueahue Vital. Andina and Embonor S.A. continued the development of juices and non-carbonated beverages through their ownership stakes in Vital S.A., holding 66.5% and 33.5%, respectively. In January 2011, the juice production business was restructured to allow the incorporation of the other Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile to the ownership of Vital S.A., which changed its name to Vital Jugos S.A. Andina and Embonor hold 65% and 35% stakes in Vital Jugos S.A., respectively.

 

In 2001, we entered into a joint venture with Cristalerías de Chile to produce PET bottles. On January 27, 2012, Coca-Cola Embonor through its subsidiary, Embonor Empaques S.A. acquired Cristalerías de Chile’s stake equivalent to a 50% ownership interest in Envases CMF.

 

On October 16, 2012, in order to reinforce our leadership position among Coca-Cola bottlers in South America, the Company completed its merger with Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A. (“Polar”). Polar was a Coca-Cola bottler with operations in Chile, where it serviced territories in the II, III, IV, XI and XII regions, as well as parts of Argentina, as described below, and all of Paraguay. The merger granted former shareholders of Polar a 19.68% ownership interest in the merged entity, however the Company controls its day to day operations. As a result of the transaction, we also acquired additional indirect ownership interests in Vital Jugos S.A., Vital Aguas S.A. and Envases Central S.A.

 

On January 28, 2016, the Company incorporated a closed joint-stock company called Coca-Cola Del Valle New Ventures S.A. (“Coca-Cola Del Valle”). Embotelladora Andina S.A. contributed 35% of the capital of Coca-Cola Del Valle, with Embonor S.A. and Coca-Cola de Chile S.A contributing the remaining 15% and 50%, respectively. The main corporate purpose of Coca-Cola Del Valle

is the development and production of juices, waters and non-carbonated beverages under brands owned by The Coca-Cola Company that Andina and Coca-Cola Embonor S.A. are authorized to commercialize and distribute in their respective franchise territories.

 

On August 1, 2016, the Company signed an agreement with Monster Energy Company for the distribution of Monster Energy products in the territory covered by Andina Chile, which we began distributing in September 2016.

 

On March 28, 2017, The Coca-Cola Company, together with its bottlers in Latin America, announced the closing of the acquisition from Unilever of the AdeS vegetable protein-based beverage business. Andina Chile began distributing AdeS products in July 2017.

 

In January 2018, the Company, Embonor S.A., Coca-Cola del Valle New Ventures S.A., and Coca-Cola de Chile S.A., as buyers, and Inversiones Siemel S.A. as seller, entered into a stock purchase agreement under which the parties agreed to transfer 100% ownership of the shares of Comercializadora Novaverde S.A. (“Novaverde”), a Chilean company dedicated to the production and distribution of juices, ice cream, and other food, mainly under the brand “Guallarauco” subject to certain conditions precedent. The transaction did not include the acquisition of the avocado sales business line and the General Mills representation. In October 2018, the purchase of 100% of the shares of Novaverde was completed.

 

In May 2018, Diageo Chile Ltda., Embonor S.A. and Embotelladora Andina S.A. signed an agreement for the distribution in Chile of the brands belonging to Diageo, including Johnnie Walker, Baileys, Smirnoff, Guinness, Pampero, among others.

 

Brazil

 

Andina Brazil, our Brazilian subsidiary, began production and distribution of Coca-Cola soft drinks in Rio de Janeiro in 1942. In June 1994, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Andina Brazil for approximately US$120 million and contributed an additional US$31 million to Andina Brazil’s capital immediately after the acquisition to repay certain indebtedness of Andina Brazil. In 2000, we purchased a Coca-Cola franchise licensee NVG through Andina Brazil for a territory in Brazil comprising the State of Espírito Santo and part of the States of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, for US$74.5 million.

 

In 2004, Andina Brazil entered into a franchise swap agreement with the Brazilian subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company, Recofarma Indústria do Amazonas Ltda., for an exchange of franchising rights, goods and other assets of Andina Brazil in the territory of Governador Valadares in the State of Minas Gerais, and other franchise rights of The Coca-Cola Company in the territories of Nova Iguaçu in the state of Rio de Janeiro, which were previously owned by Companhia Mineira de Refrescos S.A.

 

In 2007, The Coca-Cola Company along with the Coca-Cola bottlers in Brazil created a joint venture, Mais Indústria de Alimentos, in order to enhance the non-carbonated business for the entire System in that country, and in 2008 The Coca-Cola system acquired a second company that produces non-carbonated beverages called Sucos del Valle do Brasil Ltda. These two companies merged in 2011 and SABB (Sistema de Alimentos y Bebidas do Brasil) was created.

 

In 2010, The Coca-Cola Company along with its bottlers, acquired in a joint venture the company Leão Junior S.A. with a consolidated presence and market share in Andina Brazil’s region in the category of iced tea. Leão Junior S.A. commercializes the Matte Leão brand, among others. Andina Brazil controls 18.20% of Leão Junior S.A. Andina Brazil holds a 10.74% average ownership interest in Leão Junior S.A and SABB.

 

In November 2012, Andina Brazil acquired a 40% stake in Sorocaba Refrescos S.A., a Coca-Cola bottler located in the state of São Paulo, for R$146,946,004.

 

On October 11, 2013, Andina Brazil, acquired 100% of the capital stock of Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga (“Ipiranga”) in an all-cash transaction. Ipiranga is also a Coca-Cola bottler with operations in part of the States of São Paulo and part of the State of Minas Gerais. This acquisition was previously arranged between the parties through an agreement signed on July 10, 2013. The final price paid was R$1,155,445,998.

 

During 2013, there was a restructuring of the juice and mate herb (“yerba mate”) business, pursuant to which the companies in which Andina Brazil held an interest were merged. As a result of the restructuring, Andina Brazil ended up with a 9.57% ownership interest in Leão Alimentos y Bebidas Ltda., the legal successor of these companies. This percentage increased to 10.87% as a result of our acquisition of, and subsequent merger with, Compañía de Bebidas Ipiranga that held an ownership interest in Leão Alimentos y Bebidas Ltda. During 2014, Andina Brazil sold 2.05% of its ownership interest in Leão Alimentos e Bebidas Ltda., remaining with a final ownership interest of 8.82%.

During 2015 and 2016, Andina Brazil made two capital increases in Leão Alimentos e Bebidas Ltda. for a total amount of R$ 39.9 million. Andina Brazil’s ownership interest in Leão Alimentos e Bebidas Ltda. did not increase, given that all of the shareholders of Leão Alimentos e Bebidas Ltda. proportionally participated in the capital increase.

 

During 2016, Andina Brazil, along with Coca-Cola Brazil and the other bottlers in Brazil, acquired Laticinios Verde Campo Ltda. The purchase was made through Trop Frutas do Brasil Ltda. a subsidiary of Leão Alimentos e Bebidas Ltda. Andina Brazil acquired 7.5% of Laticinios Verde Campo Ltda. in R$ 29.5 million.

 

In 2016, Andina Brazil signed an agreement with Monster Energy Company for the distribution of Monster Energy products in Andina Brazil’s territory. These products began being distributed on November 1, 2016.

 

In 2016, Andina Brazil closed its production facility in Cariacica, state of Espirito Santo, leaving only two production facilities, in the States of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

 

In 2017, Andina Brazil bought, together with Coca-Cola Brasil and the other Coca-Cola bottlers in Brazil, the company UBI 3 Participações Ltda. The operation was carried out to make the distribution and marketing of AdeS products in Brazil viable. Andina Brazil bought 8.50% of UBI 3 Participações Ltda. for R$21.4 million. Andina Brazil began distributing AdeS products in June 2017.

 

In August 2017, Andina Brazil increased its ownership interest in Leão Alimentos e Bebidas Ltda. from 8.8% to 10.3%. The value of the additional ownership interest acquired was R $26.5 million.

 

In March 2018, Andina Brasil started the production of soft drinks at the new Duque de Caxias plant in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

 

Argentina

 

Production of Coca-Cola soft drinks in Argentina began in 1943 with operations in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, through Inti S.A.I.C., (“INTI”). In July 1995, we, through an investment company incorporated in Argentina called Inversiones del Atlántico S.A., (“IASA”), acquired a 59% interest in Embotelladoras del Atlántico S.A. (“Edasa”, the parent company of Rosario Refrescos S.A. and Mendoza Refrescos S.A.). These entities were subsequently merged to create Rosario Mendoza Refrescos S.A., (“Romesa”). In 1996, we acquired an additional 35.9% interest in Edasa, an additional 78.7% interest in Inti, a 100% interest in Cipet (a PET plastic bottle and packaging business located in Buenos Aires) and a 15.2% interest in Cican S.A. During 1997, the operations of Romesa were merged with INTI. In 1999, EDASA was merged into IASA. In 2000, IASA was merged into INTI, forming Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. (“EDASA”). In 2002, Cipet merged into EDASA. During 2007, EDASA’s ownership interest in Cican S.A. was sold to FEMSA.

 

In 2011, EDASA’s shareholders resolved to form Andina Empaques Argentina S.A., through a spin-off of all of EDASA’s Packaging Division, including all tangible and intangible assets related thereto. Accounting and tax effects began on January 1, 2012. Subsequently, EDASA absorbed Coca-Cola Polar Argentina S.A.

 

Additionally, as a result of the Company’s merger with Polar which was completed in October 16, 2012, the Company gained territory serviced by Polar in Argentina, consisting of territories in Santa Cruz, Neuquén, El Chubut, Tierra del Fuego, Río Negro La Pampa and the western part of the province of Buenos Aires.

 

On December 2, 2015 the National Commission for the defense of Competition in the Republic of Argentina, a non-concentrated organism under the administration of the Undersecretary of Trade of the Secretary of Trade of Ministry of Economy and Public Finances, notified EDASA of Resolution No. 640 issued by the Secretary of Trade of the Ministry of Economy and Public Finances on November 24, 2015, under which it authorized and approved the economic concentration caused by the (i) merger by incorporation between the Chilean company Embotelladora Andina S.A., as surviving entity, and Embotelladora Coca-Cola Polar S.A, and (ii) the merger by incorporation between EDASA as surviving entity, and Coca-Cola Polar Argentina S.A, respectively, under article 13, inc. a) of Law 25.156 (old Anti-Trust Law).

 

On March 28, 2017, EDASA acquired 13.0% of the shares of the company Alimentos de Soja S.A.U., dedicated to the production of vegetable protein-based beverages marketed under the brand “AdeS”. The sale of Alimentos de Soja S.A.U. shares was carried out within the framework of a global transaction under the terms of which The Coca-Cola Company and certain Coca-Cola bottlers acquired the “AdeS” liquid soy-based food business from the Unilever Group in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia and Chile. EDASA began distributing Ade products in July 2017. In 2018, EDASA acquired shares of Alimentos de Soja S.A.U. (currently Alimentos de Soja S.A.), increasing its ownership interest to 14.3%. The amount of shares transferred was sufficient to provide EDASA a percentage of shares approximately proportional to its market share in the territory.

On December 13, 2017, EDASA, together with Monster Energy Company, entered into an agreement in which Monster Energy Company named Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. as distributor in the franchise territory of Andina Argentina of the products bearing the “Monster” brand for an initial period of 10 years. In February 2018, we began commercializing and distributing Monster products entering the category for energy drinks.

 

Paraguay

 

PARESA is the first authorized Coca-Cola Bottler Company in Paraguay, which started its operations in May 13, 1965. In 1967, Plant 1 was opened with a capacity of 400,000 annual unit cases. In 1980, the Barcequillo Plant - located on Km 3.5 Barcequillo of the Ñemby route, in the City of San Lorenzo- was opened, reaffirming and applying the concept of the highest end technology of bottling. Beginning in 2004, PARESA became property of the Grupo Polar from Chile, continuing its operations in the Paraguayan market. On October 1, 2012, PARESA became part of Grupo Coca-Cola Andina due to the merger of Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A. into Embotelladora Andina S.A.

 

On March 28, 2017, The Coca-Cola Company, together with its bottlers in Latin America, announced the closing of the acquisition from Unilever of the AdeS vegetable protein-based beverage business. PARESA began distributing Ades products in July 2017.

Our Territories

 

The following map shows our territories, estimates of the population to which we offer products, the number of retailers of our beverages and the per capita consumption of our beverages as of December 31, 2018.

 

 

Per capita consumption data for a territory is determined by dividing total beverage sales volume, excluding the sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers within the territory by the estimated population within such territory, and is expressed on the basis of the number of eight-ounce servings of our products. One of the factors we use to evaluate the development of local volume sales in our territories and to determine product potential is the per capital consumption of our beverages.

In addition, in Chile, through the Koolife business unit, we import and distribute SSDs, such as Coca-Cola Zero Cherry, Coca-Cola Zero Vainilla, Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero without caffeine, Fanta Uva and Fanta Piña, aluminum bottles of Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero, and from Brazil we are importing the new Coca-Cola Plus Café Espresso (220 ml). We also have Iced Tea GoldPeak (Diet, Green tea and Unsweetened), Core Power Vainilla and Chocolate (sports protein shake), Zico Natural (coconut water) in PET 500 ml, Tetra 250 ml and 1,000 ml). From Ecuador we import and distribute Café Blak Capuccino and Mocaccino available in 285 ml glass bottles. From the Middle East we import and distribute Rani (juice with pieces of fruit) peach and pineapple flavors available in 240 ml cans.

 

We produce, market and distribute Coca-Cola soft drinks in our franchise territories through standard bottler agreements between our bottler subsidiaries and the local subsidiary in each jurisdiction of The Coca-Cola Company. We consider our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company to be an integral part of our business strategy.

 

We seek to enhance our business throughout the franchise territories by developing existing markets, penetrating other soft drink, waters and juices markets, forming strategic alliances with retailers to increase consumer demand for our products, increasing productivity, and by further internationalizing our operations.

(1) Mom & Pops are neighborhood stores (grocery stores, minimarkets, kiosks, liquor stores, bakeries, etc.) characterized by providing daily shopping needs, and differentiated because they are nearby, and products are available in smaller formats.

Note: The large difference of figures in the Mom & Pops and Wholesale distributors channels when comparing 2016 and 2018 with 2017 is because in 2017 the volume of Wholesale Distributors and Deposits were considered as part of the Mom & Pops volume, unlike the other years where it is assigned to Wholesale Distributors. If the same criteria had been applied in 2017, the Mom & pops channel mix would be 23.8% in 2017.

 

Other Beverages: We distribute beer under the Amstel, Bavaria, Heineken, Kaiser, Sol and Xingu labels. We sell and distribute water under the labels Crystal and SmartWater, ready-to-drink juices under the labels Del Valle Frut e Fresh, Del Valle Mais, Del Valle 100%, Del Valle Nutri, Del Valle Água de Coco, Del Valle Concentrado, Sabores Caseros and Kapo, energy drinks under the brand names Burn and Monster, isotonic drinks under i9 and Powerade brand names and Fuze Ice Tea, Fuze Matte Leão, Matte Leão and Guaraná Leão ready-to-drink teas. We also distribute seed-based beverages, AdeS Juice and AdeS Milk, under the brand name AdeS and Shake Whet, LacFreed and Minilac lactose-free beverages under the brand name Verde Campo. Lastly, as of November 2016 and June 2017, the Company began the distribution in its Brazilian franchise territories of products under the trademarks of Monster and AdeS, respectively. We are currently in an arbitration process with Heineken Brazil. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Related to Brazil”.

(1) Mom & Pops are neighborhood stores (grocery stores, minimarkets, kiosks, liquor stores, bakeries, etc.) characterized by providing daily shopping needs, and differentiated because they are nearby, and products are available in smaller formats.

 

Other Beverages: In Argentina, we produce and distribute ready-to-drink juices under the Cepita brand name. We also produce and sell water under the brands Kin, Bonaqua (sparkling and still mineral water), Aquarius (flavored waters), and Powerade (sports drink). During 2017, we incorporated the AdeS brand (ready to drink soy-based beverage) through a Joint Venture with The Coca-Cola Company and the rest of the bottlers (Andina Argentina bills this business on behalf and by order of the AdeS S.A. joint venture). In 2018 we incorporated the Monster brand (energy drink) to our portfolio, through a purchase and sale model. Also, with the incorporation of Coca-Cola Polar Argentina S.A., starting in 2012, we distribute beers including Palermo, Schneider, Heineken, Amstel, Bieckert, Sol, Imperial, Kunstmann and Miller. During 2018, we stopped distributing Budweiser and instead we incorporated the Isenbeck to our portfolio.

 

In 2018, net sales of juices, waters, tea-based beverages, isotonic and energy drinks in Argentina were Ch$75,342 million, representing 4.5% of our consolidated net sales. These values also consider the commission for distribution of beer.

(1) Mom & Pops are neighborhood stores (grocery stores, minimarkets, kiosks, liquor stores, bakeries, etc.) characterized by providing daily shopping needs, and differentiated because they are nearby, and products are available in smaller formats.

Note: The large variation in 2018 percentages versus 2016 and 2017 of the Mom & Pops and Wholesale distributors channels is because during 2018 the volume of Distributors began to be considered as part of the volume of Wholesale distributors. Previously, it was divided among the various categories according to its subsequent sale (using the same criteria of 2018, Mom & Pops in 2016 and 2017 would be 26% and 27%, respectively).

Table of Contents

 

Other Beverages: In Paraguay, we produce and distribute juices ready to be consumed under the trademark Frugos and we import and distribute seed-based drinks under the AdeS trademark. We also manufacture and sell water under the trademarks Dasani (purified water), Aquarius (flavored water), Kin (mineral water) and isotonic drinks like Powerade. We also manufacture and sell energy drinks under the trademark Burn in disposable glass bottles.

 

In 2018, net sales of juices, waters, isotonic and energy drinks in Paraguay were Ch$31,493 million, representing 1.9% of our consolidated net sales.

 

Distribution

 

Chile

 

Soft Drinks, Juices and Waters: In Chile, we distribute our products through a distribution system that includes: (i) trucks operated by independent companies pursuant to exclusive distribution arrangements (487 trucks) and (ii) our own trucks (171 trucks). In 2018, 74% was distributed by exclusive transport companies and 26% by our own trucks. Distribution of all of Andina Chile’s beverages takes place from distribution centers and production facilities. In most cases, the transport company collects payment from the customer in cash or check. Where applicable, the driver also either collects empty returnable glass or PET bottles of the same type and quantity as the ones being delivered or collects cash deposits for the net returnable bottles delivered. This task is particularly significant in the Chilean territory where returnable containers accounted for approximately 45.3% of total soft drinks volume in 2018. Certain important customers (such as supermarkets), maintain accounts receivables with us, which are settled on average every 34 days after invoices are issued.

 

Brazil

 

Soft Drinks, Juices and Waters: In Brazil, we generally distribute Coca-Cola products through a distribution system that includes: (i) own trucks (ii) trucks operated by independent distributors pursuant to non-exclusive distribution arrangements, and (iii) trucks operated by independent transport companies on an exclusive basis with us. In 2018, 8.4% was distributed by exclusive distributors, 11.0% by independent transport companies and 80.6% by our own trucks. Distribution of all of Andina Brazil’s beverages takes place from distribution centers and production facilities.

 

Other Beverages: Andina Brazil uses its distribution system to distribute beer in the Brazilian territory. Andina Brazil started distributing beer in the 1980s as a result of the acquisition of Cervejarias Kaiser S.A. (“Kaiser”) by a consortium of Coca-Cola bottlers (including Andina Brazil) in Brazil. In March 2002, the Canadian brewing company Molson Inc. acquired Kaiser. In 2006, FEMSA acquired from Molson a controlling ownership interest in Kaiser and in 2010, Heineken acquired a controlling interest in FEMSA’s beer operation. Andina Brazil buys beer from Heineken at a price determined by Heineken and sells it to its customers with a fixed margin. In the case of certain discount sales that have been approved by Heineken, Heineken shares between 50% and 100% of the cost of such discounts. In 2018, Andina Brazil’s net sales of beer were Ch$100,864 million.

 

The Coca-Cola Company and the Brazilian Association of Coca-Cola Manufacturers entered into an agreement regarding the distribution through the Coca-Cola System of beer produced and imported by Heineken. The agreements were signed on March 19, 2002 and are renewable for a period of 20 years. Andina Brazil is not allowed to produce, bottle, sell or obtain any interest in any bottled or tap beer under any other label or in any bottle or packaging that could be confused with brand beers, except as may be mutually agreed in writing between Andina Brazil and Heineken.

 

Argentina

 

Soft Drinks, Juices and Waters: In 2018, 68% of EDASA’s Coca-Cola soft drinks were distributed by direct distribution and 32% by other distributors and wholesale distribution (indirect distribution). The direct distribution is done by a group of independent transport companies, on an exclusive basis.

 

Other Beverages: Andina Argentina uses its distribution system to distribute beer in the territory composed by the provinces of La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego and the following parts of the Province of Buenos Aires: Bahía Blanca, Tornquist, Coronel M.L.Rosales, Coronel Dorrego, Villarino, Daireaux, Guamini, Adolfo Alsina, Coronel Suarez, Coronel Pringles, Saavedra, Puán, Saliqueló, Municipio Urbano de Monte Hermoso, Benito Juárez, Gonzalez Chávez, Tres Arroyos, Carmen de Patagones, Olavarría, Azul, Tapalqué, Laprida, Lamadrid, Arrecifes, Chacabuco, Colón, Pergamino, Rojas, Salto, Bartolomé Mitre, Capitán Sarmiento, 9 de Julio, 25 de Mayo, General Alvear, Chivilcoy, Alberti, Bragado, Junín, Viamonte, Arenales, L.N.Alem, Lincoln, General Pinto, Ameghino, Tres Lomas, Pehuajó, Carlos Casares, Hipólito Yrigoyen, Bolívar, Carlos Pellegrini, Trenque Lauquen, Rivadavia, Carlos Tejedor, General Villegas. Andina Argentina began distributing beer in 2012 due to the merger with

Coca-Cola Polar. Andina Argentina distributes on behalf of and according to an order by CICSA (Compañía Industrial Cervecera S.A.) at a set price which is segmented for each of the regions where the contract operates, and for which Andina Argentina receives a commission.

 

The Coca-Cola Company and two bottlers (ex-Coca-Cola Polar Argentina S.A., today Andina Argentina, and ex Juan Bautista Guerrero S.A., today Salta Refrescos S.A. of the Arca group) executed a master agreement regarding the distribution of beer manufactured or imported by CICSA, through the Coca-Cola distribution system. The distribution master agreement was executed on June 12, 2003 for an initial period of five years, with successive extensions every three years, and the last one agreed on November 29, 2017 for a new five-year term expiring on June 12, 2022.

 

In addition, on December 13, 2017, EDASA executed an agreement with Monster Energy Company for the distribution and commercialization of energy drinks of the “Monster” trademark for an initial period of 10 years in the territory within the franchise of Andina Argentina, with the consent of The Coca-Cola Company.

 

Paraguay

 

Soft Drinks, Juices and Waters: PARESA distributed 87.6% of its products through direct distribution (independent transport companies), and 12.4% through wholesale distributors. All direct distribution is done by a group of small truck businesses.

 

Competition

 

We face intense competition throughout the franchise territories principally from bottlers of competing soft drink brands. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Company—Our Business is highly competitive including with respect to price competition which may adversely affect our net profits and margins”. Our business is highly competitive including with respect to price competition which may adversely affect our net profits and margins.

Chile

 

Soft Drinks: The soft drink segment of the Chilean beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising, ability to deliver product in popular bottle sizes, distribution capacity, and the number of returnable bottles held by retailers or by consumers. Returnable bottles can be exchanged at the time of new purchases in lieu of paying a bottle deposit, thereby decreasing the purchase price. Our main competitor in the Chilean franchise territory is Embotelladora Chilenas Unidas or ECUSA, a subsidiary of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. or CCU, the largest brewer in Chile. ECUSA produces and distributes Pepsi-Cola products and its own brands (soft drinks and bottled water). Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2018, our average soft drink market share within our franchise territories was 66.8%.

 

Other Beverages: Our principal competitor in the water segment is CCU, but there is also competition from low priced brands (“B-brands”). Our principal competitors in the juice segment are, Watt’s-CCU, Corpora Tres Montes and three of the leading dairy producers in Chile: Soprole S.A., Nestlé Chile S.A. and Loncoleche. During 2006, CCU acquired a 50% ownership interest of the juice brands in Chile and created a joint venture for the management of this business area. The Chilean market for fruit-flavored beverages and waters also includes low-cost, lower-quality fruit juice concentrates and artificially flavored powdered beverage mixes. We do not consider these products competition for our waters and juices business because we believe that these products are of lower quality and value. Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2018, our market share within our Chilean franchise territories grew and reached approximately 37.0% for juices and others segment and approximately 41.3% for waters.

Brazil

 

Soft Drinks: The soft drink segment of the Brazilian beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising and distribution capacity (including the number and location of sales outlets). According to A.C. Nielsen, our main soft drink competitor in the Brazilian territory is American Beverage Company or AmBev, the largest beer producer and distributor in Brazil and also produces soft drinks, including Pepsi-Cola products. Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2018, our average soft drink market share within our Brazilian franchise territories was approximately 63.3%.

 

Other Beverages: In the beer sector, Andina Brazil’s main competitor is AmBev which during 2018 had a very dominant position in the Brazilian market. In our Rio de Janeiro and Espiritu Santo franchise our market share for waters was 13.8%, where we distribute under the Crystal brand mineral water. In the segment of juices and others our market share was 46.0%.

 

Argentina

 

Soft Drinks: The soft drink segment of the Argentine beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising, ability to produce bottles in popular sizes and distribution capacity. Our greatest competitor in Argentina is InBev. The most significant B-brand competitors are: Pritty, Refresh Now (Manaos), and Produnoa (Secco). Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2018, our average soft drink market share within our Argentine franchise territories was approximately 63.0%.

 

Other Beverages: We service the market for plain and flavored water through the Bonaqua, Kin and Aquarius brands, through which we have 17.4% of the market. In addition, the market of juices and others is serviced through the Cepita juice brand and Powerade in isotonic and the recently acquired AdeS, where we have a market share of 44.5%.

 

Paraguay

 

Soft Drinks: The soft drink segment of the Paraguayan beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising, ability to produce bottles in popular sizes and the number of returnable bottles held by retailers or by consumers.

 

Our greatest competitor, local brand “Niko/De La Costa,” is produced and bottled by Embotelladora Central S.A., which has an 9.6% market share. B-brands in Paraguay represent 23.3% of the soft drink industry. Pepsi had a market share of 8.3% in December 2018, and is produced and marketed by Group Vierci, a local franchisee. Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2018, our average soft drinks market share within our Paraguayan franchise territories was approximately 71.6%.

 

Other Beverages: We are leaders in all non-carbonated categories, except energy drinks. In waters, we have a market share of 30.9% with our Dasani, Aquarius and Kin brands. Additionally, the market for juices and others is serviced, among others by the trademark Frugos and AdeS in juices and Powerade in sport drinks where we have a market share of 48.2%.

 

Seasonality

 

Each of our lines of business are seasonal. Most of our beverage products have their highest sales volumes during the South American spring and summer (October through March), with the exception of nectar products, which have a slightly higher sales volume during the South American winter and autumn (April through September).

 

Packaging

 

Overview

 

Through Envases CMF S.A. in Chile (50% owned by Andina and 50% owned by Embonor), and Andina Empaques Argentina S.A. (“AEASA”) in Argentina we produce PET bottles in both returnable and non-returnable formats and plastic caps. On average, returnable PET bottles can be used up to 12 times. Non-returnable PET bottles also are produced in various sizes and are used by a variety of soft drink producers and, in Chile, by producers of edible oil products, wine and personal hygiene products.

Sales

 

Total sales of AEASA reached Ch$16,035 million, of which Ch$8,691 million corresponded to sales to EDASA, Ch$1,609 million corresponded to sales to other related companies of the group and Ch$5,735 million corresponded to sales to third parties.

 

Competition

 

AEASA is the principal supplier of returnable and non-returnable PET bottles, plastic caps and cases for Coca-Cola bottlers in Argentina, and we also supply some formats on occasion to Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile and Paraguay.

 

In Argentina, we compete principally with Alpla S.A. and Amcor. AEASA supplies returnable PET bottles to all Coca-Cola bottlers in Argentina.

 

CMF is the principal supplier of returnable bottles, non-returnable PET, plastic caps and cases for Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile, also supplying in some formats and occasions Coca-Cola bottlers in other countries. The industry in Chile presents few manufacturers of non-returnable PET bottles which are significantly smaller to those of CMF. The second national manufacturer of non-returnable PET bottles is Plasco S.A., which does not compete with CMF as it is the exclusive bottle manufacturer of ECUSA (Chilean Pepsi bottler).

 

Raw Materials and Supplies

 

The main raw materials used in the production of Coca-Cola soft drinks are concentrate, sweetener, water and carbon dioxide gas. Production also requires glass and plastic bottles, bottle tops and labels. Water used in soft drink production is treated for impurities and adjusted for taste reasons.

Marketing

 

We and The Coca-Cola Company jointly promote and market Coca-Cola soft drinks in our franchise territories, in accordance with the terms of our respective Bottler Agreements. We advertise in all major communications media. We focus our advertising efforts on increasing brand recognition by consumers and improving our customer relations. National advertising campaigns are designed and proposed by The Coca-Cola Company’s local affiliates, with our input at the local or regional level.

 

In 2018, we paid approximately 50% of the advertising and promotional expenses incurred by The Coca-Cola Company in our franchise territories. Nearly all media advertising and promotional materials for Coca-Cola soft drinks are produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company. See “Item 4. Information on the Company —Bottler Agreements.” Marketing and promotional programs, including television, radio and print advertising, point-of-sale advertising, sales promotions and entertainment are developed by The Coca-Cola Company for all Vital Jugos’ and Vital Aguas’ products.

 

Pursuant to the existing distribution agreements with Heineken and Monster, these companies are responsible for planning and managing advertising, marketing and promotional activities related to beer and energy drinks, respectively. Andina Brazil, however, is free to undertake marketing or promotional activities with Heineken´s and Monster’s prior approval. The parties have agreed to assume jointly the costs of certain promotional activities (radio or television) and for certain outdoor events which take place in the Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Ribeirão Preto regions.

 

In Argentina, in accordance with the existing distribution agreement with CICSA, CICSA is responsible for planning and managing advertising, marketing and promotional activities related to beer. Andina Argentina, however, is free to undertake marketing or promotional activities with CICSA’s prior approval. The parties have agreed that CICSA will assume the costs of promotional activities (radio, television, outdoor advertising and media) in the region.

 

In September 2016, November 2016, and at the end of February 2018, Andina Chile, Andina Brazil and Andina Argentina, respectively, began to commercialize the energy drink, called Monster Energy. This new brand is part of the collaboration agreement entered into during 2015 by The Coca-Cola Company and Monster Energy, which included the distribution of its products in the territories of the Coca-Cola System, such as Chile, Brazil and Argentina. We believe that this agreement with Monster Energy, a leading brand in the energy drink category, will reinforce our current presence in the category and will allow us to become one of the leaders in the category for energy drinks.

 

Channel Marketing

 

In order to provide more dynamic and specialized marketing of our products, our strategy is to divide our market into distribution channels. Our main channels are small retailers, “on premise” consumption such as restaurants and bars, supermarkets and third-party distributors. Presence in these channels entails a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the purchasing patterns and preferences of various groups of soft drink consumers in each type of location or distribution channel. In response to this analysis, we seek to tailor our product, price, packaging and distribution strategies to meet the particular needs of and exploit the potential of each channel.

 

We believe that the implementation of our channel marketing strategy also enables us to respond to competitive initiatives with channel-specific responses. This focused response capability isolates the effects of competitive pressure in a specific channel, thereby avoiding costlier market-wide responses. Our channel marketing activities are facilitated by our management information systems. We have invested significantly in creating such systems, including providing hand-held computer and data gathering equipment to support the gathering of product, consumer and delivery information, as well as applications that may be used on smartphones enabled to use these applications. All of which is required to implement our channel marketing strategies effectively for most of our sales routes in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. We will continue investing to increase pre-sale coverage in our territories.

 

Our consolidated total advertising expenditures were Ch$39,982 million, Ch$29,210 million and Ch$17,210 million in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Bottler Agreements

 

General

 

Our status as a The Coca-Cola Company franchisee is based on the Bottler Agreements that the Company has entered into with The Coca-Cola Company by which it has the license to produce and distribute Coca-Cola brand products within its operating franchise territories in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The Company’s operations are highly dependent on maintaining and renewing the Bottler Agreements which provide for the production and distribution of Coca-Cola brand products under certain terms and provisions.

 

The Bottler Agreements are international standard contracts The Coca-Cola Company enters into with bottlers outside the United States for the sale of concentrates and beverage basis for certain Coca-Cola soft drinks and non-soft drink beverages. These are renewable upon request by the bottler and at the sole discretion of The Coca-Cola Company. We cannot assure you that the Bottler Agreements will be renewed upon their expiration or that they will be renewed upon the same or better terms.

 

Concentrates and beverage basis

 

The Bottler Agreements provide that we will purchase our entire requirement of concentrates and beverage basis for Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages from The Coca-Cola Company and other authorized suppliers. Although under the Bottler Agreements, The Coca-Cola Company, in its sole discretion, may set the price of concentrates and beverage basis, among other terms, we set the price of products sold to retailers at our discretion, subject only to certain price restrictions.

 

As of the date of this annual report, we are the sole producer of Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages in our franchise territories. Although this right is not exclusive, The Coca-Cola Company even though it has the ability to do so, has never authorized any other entity to produce or distribute Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages in such territories, although we cannot assure you that in the future it will not do so. In the case of post-mix soft drinks, the Bottler Agreements explicitly establish such non-exclusive rights.

 

The Bottler Agreements include an acknowledgment by us that The Coca-Cola Company is the sole owner of the trademarks that identify the Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages and of any secret formula used in concentrates.

 

Production and Distribution

 

All distribution must be in authorized containers. The Coca-Cola Company has the right to approve, at its sole discretion, any and all kinds of packages and containers for beverages, including their size, shape and any of their attributes. The Coca-Cola Company has the authority at its sole discretion to redesign or discontinue any package of any of the Coca-Cola products, subject to certain limitations, so long as Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages are not all discontinued at the same time. We are prohibited from producing or handling any other beverage products, other than those of The Coca-Cola Company or other products or packages that would imitate, infringe or cause confusion with the products, trade dress, containers or trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company, or from acquiring or holding an interest in a party that engages in such activities. The Bottler Agreements also impose restrictions concerning the use of certain trademarks, authorized containers, packaging and labeling of The Coca-Cola Company and prohibit bottlers from distributing Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages outside their designated territories.

 

The Bottler Agreements require us to maintain adequate production and distribution facilities; inventories of bottles, caps, boxes, cartons and other exterior packaging or materials; to undertake adequate quality control measures prescribed by The Coca-Cola Company; to develop, stimulate, and fully satisfy the demand for Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages and that we use all approved means, and spend such funds on advertising and other forms of marketing, as may be reasonably required to meet that objective; and to maintain financial capacity as may be reasonably necessary to assure performance by us and our affiliates of our obligations before to The Coca-Cola Company. All Bottler Agreements require us to submit, on an annually basis, our business plans for such franchise territories to The Coca-Cola Company, including without limitation, marketing, management and promotional and advertising plans for the following year.

 

Advertising and marketing

 

The Coca-Cola Company has no obligation to contribute to our expenditures for advertising and marketing, but it may, at its discretion, contribute to such expenditures and perform independent advertising and marketing activities, as well as cooperative advertising and sales promotion that would require our cooperation and support. In each of the franchise territories, The Coca-Cola Company has been contributing approximately 50% of our advertising and marketing expenses, but no assurances can be given that equivalent contributions or any contributions at all will be made in the future.

Assignments and other provisions

 

Each bottler is prohibited from, directly or indirectly, assigning, transferring or pledging its Bottler Agreement, or any interest therein, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company, and each Bottler Agreement is subject to termination by The Coca-Cola Company in the event of default by us. Moreover, no material change of ownership or control in the bottler may occur without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company.

 

Termination

 

The Coca-Cola Company may terminate a Bottler Agreement immediately by written notice to the bottler in the event that, among other events, (i) the bottler suspends payments to creditors, declares bankruptcy, is declared bankrupt, is expropriated or nationalized, is liquidated, dissolved, changes its legal structure, or pledges or mortgages its assets; (ii) the bottler does not comply with instructions and standards established by The Coca-Cola Company relating to the production of its authorized soft drink products; (iii) the bottler ceases to be controlled by its controlling shareholders (without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company); or (iv) the terms of the Bottler Agreement become contrary to the applicable law.

 

Either party to any Bottler Agreement may, within 60 days’ notice thereof to the other party, terminate the Bottler Agreement in case of default of the other party, provided that such default is not remedied during such period.

 

In addition, if a bottler does not wish to pay the required price for concentrate for any Coca-Cola products, it must notify The Coca-Cola Company within 30 days of receipt of The Coca-Cola Company’s new prices. In the case of any Coca-Cola soft drink or other Coca-Cola beverages other than Coca-Cola concentrate, the franchise regarding such product shall be deemed automatically canceled three months after The Coca-Cola Company’s receipt of the bottler’s notice of refusal. In the case of Coca-Cola concentrate, the Bottler Agreements shall be deemed terminated three months after The Coca-Cola Company’s receipt of the bottler’s notice of refusal.

 

The Coca-Cola Company may also terminate the Bottler Agreements if the bottler or any individual or legal entity that controls it, engages in the production of any non-Coca-Cola beverage, whether through direct ownership of such operations or through control or administration thereof, provided that, upon request, the bottler shall be given six months to remedy such situation.

Regulation

 

General

 

We are subject to a full range of government regulations generally applicable to companies engaged in business in our franchise territories, including but not limited to labor, social security, public health, consumer protection, environmental, sanitation, employee safety, securities and anti-trust laws. Currently, no material legal or administrative proceedings are pending against us with respect to any regulatory matter in any of our franchise territories except those listed as such in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” and “Item 8. Financial Information—Contingencies.”

 

We believe that, to the best of our knowledge we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutory and administrative regulations relating to our business in each of our franchise territories.

 

Chile: There are no special licenses or permits specifically required to manufacture and distribute soft drinks and juices in the Chilean territory. Food and beverage producers in Chile, however, must obtain authorization from, and are supervised by the Health Ministry’s respective regional offices (Secretaría Regional Ministerial de Salud), which inspects production facilities and takes liquid samples for analysis on a regular basis. Our permit from the Chilean Environmental Protection Authority was obtained on January 8, 1992 and it has been granted for an indefinite term. In addition, production and distribution of mineral water is subject to special regulations such that mineral water may be drawn only from sources designated for such purpose by supreme decree. Certification of compliance with such decree is provided by the National Health Service, the Undersecretary’s Office of the Ministry of Health (Servicio de Salud Metropolitano del Ambiente). Our mineral water production facilities have received the required certification.

 

Brazil: Labor laws, in addition to mandating employee benefits, include regulations to ensure sanitary and safe working conditions in our production facilities located in Brazil. Food and beverage producers in Brazil must register their products with and receive a ten-year permit from the Ministry of Agriculture and Provisioning and the Ministry of Health. Our permits from said Ministries are valid and in force for a term of ten years for each product we produce. Although we cannot assure you that they will be renewed, we have not experienced any material difficulties in renewing our permits in the past nor do we expect to experience any difficulties in the future. The Ministries do not regularly inspect facilities, but they do send inspectors to investigate any complaints it receives.

 

Argentina: While most laws applicable to EDASA are enforced at the federal level, some, such as sanitary and environmental regulations, are primarily enforced by provincial and municipal governments. Licenses or permits are required for the manufacture or distribution of soft drinks in the Argentine territory, which are evidenced through national records of food establishment and food products. Additionally, our production facilities are subject to registration with federal and provincial authorities and to supervision by municipal health agencies, which certify compliance with applicable laws.

 

Paraguay: PARESA is registered with the Ministry of Industry and Trade in Paraguay, which issues and renews the industrial registry. Food and beverage producers in Paraguay must register with the Ministry of Health, which performs inspections of plants and monitors products in the market. Industries must also have an environmental license issued by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, which is the main body responsible for monitoring compliance with environmental laws. In addition to establishing the mandatory employee benefits, include safe working and sanitary conditions at industrial installations within Paraguay. PARESA maintains all of its licenses, permits and registrations issued by these institutions and ensures compliance with the regulations and ordinances of the municipalities where its plant is located.

 

Environmental Matters

 

It is our policy to conduct environmentally sound operations on a basis consistent with applicable laws and within criteria established by The Coca-Cola Company. Although regulation of matters relating to the protection of the environment is not as well-developed in the franchise territories as in the United States and other industrialized countries, we expect that additional laws and regulations may be enacted in the future with respect to environmental matters that may impose additional restrictions on us which could materially or adversely affect our results of operations in the future. There are no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in any of the franchise territories with respect to environmental matters, and we believe that, to the best of our knowledge, we are in compliance in all material respects with all environmental regulations applicable to us.

 

Chile

 

The Chilean government has several regulations governing environmental matters relating to our operations.

 

Law N° 19,300, addressing general environmental concerns, passed in March 1994, regulates general environmental issues and fundamental aspects applicable to our activities and that could require the hiring of independent experts to conduct studies or

Table of Contents

 

environmental impact statements of any future project or activity that may be affected by the provisions of Law N° 19,300. In January 2010, the aforementioned law was amended by Law N° 20.417, which created a new environmental agency, the Environment Ministry, the Environmental Assessment Service and the Environment Superintendence. In January 2012, Law N° 20,600 was published which created the Environmental Tribunals (3), which came into operation on December 2012.

 

Law N° 20,920 passed in June 2016, sets the framework for waste management, the extended liability of the producer and the promotion of recycling, which aims to reduce waste generation and encourage reuse, recycling and other types of valorization, in order to protect people’s health and the environment.

 

Brazil

 

Our Brazilian operations are subject to several environmental laws, none of which currently impose substantial restrictions on us. The Brazilian Constitution establishes the broad guidelines for the new treatment of environmental concerns. Environmental issues are regulated at federal, state and municipal levels. The Brazilian Constitution empowers the public authorities to develop regulations designed to preserve and restore the environment and to control industrial processes that affect human life. Violations of these regulations are subject to criminal, civil and administrative penalties.

 

In addition, Law N° 6,938 of 1981, known as the Brazilian Environmental Policy, introduced an environmental regime under which no environmental damage is exempt from coverage. This legislation is based on the idea that even a polluting waste tolerated under the established standards could cause environmental damage, and therefore subjects the party causing such damage to the payment of an indemnity. Moreover, as mentioned above, activities damaging to the environment lead to criminal and administrative penalties, provided for in Law 9,605 of 1998 or the Environmental Crimes Act.

 

Numerous governmental bodies have jurisdiction over environmental matters. At the federal level, the Ministério do Meio Ambiente (Brazilian Ministry of Environment) and the Conselho Nacional do Meio-Ambiente or CONAMA dictate environmental policy, including, without limitation, initiating environmental improvement projects, establishing a system of fines and administrative penalties and reaching agreements on environmental matters with offending industries. The Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis or IBAMA, enforces environmental regulations set by CONAMA, including by developing several activities for the preservation and conservation of natural heritage and controlling and supervising the use of natural resources. In addition, various federal authorities have jurisdiction over specific industrial sectors, but none of these currently affect us.

 

Finally, various state and local authorities regulate environmental matters in the Brazilian territory including the Fundação Estadual de Engenharia do Meio-Ambiente or FEEMA, the main environmental authority in Rio de Janeiro, and the Instituto Estadual de Medio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos (“IEMA”), the main authority on environmental issues in Espirito Santo, and the Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental — CETESB, the main environmental authority in São Paulo. FEEMA, IEMA and CETESB periodically inspect industrial sites. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with the standards established by all the governmental authorities applicable to our operations in Brazil. We cannot assure you, however, that additional regulations will not be enacted in the future, and that such restrictions would not have a material adverse effect on our results or operations. The operation in Brazil as that of Chile counts with all certifications mentioned in terms of Quality, Environment and Occupational Health and Safety and those associated with Food Safety and Best Practices in Food Processing.

 

Argentina

 

The Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, allows any individual who believes a third party may be damaging the environment to initiate an action against it. No action of this nature has been initiated against EDASA, but we cannot ensure that it will not be initiated in the future. Though provincial governments have primary regulatory authority over environmental matters, municipal and federal authorities also have authority competent to enact decrees and laws on environmental issues. Thus, municipalities can set policy on local environmental matters, such as waste management, while the federal government regulates inter-province environmental issues, such as transport of hazardous waste or environmental matters covered by international treaties.

 

In 2002, the National Congress approved federal Law N° 25,612, Gestión Integral de Residuos Industriales y de Actividades de Servicios (Comprehensive Management of Industrial Residues and Service Activities) and Law N° 25,675, Ley General del Ambiente (General Environmental Law) establishing minimum guidelines for the protection of the sustainable environmental management and the protection of biodiversity, applicable throughout Argentina. The law establishes the purposes, principles and instruments of the national environmental policy, the concept of “minimum guidelines,” the judicial purview and the rules governing environmental education and information, citizens’ participation and self-management, among other provisions.

 

Provincial governments within the Argentine territory have enacted laws establishing a framework for the preservation of the environment. Provincial laws that are applicable to industrial facilities at EDASA, among others are Law N° 7,343 of the Province of Córdoba and its supplemental N° 10,208 since 2014, Law N° 11,459 of the Province of Buenos Aires and Environmental Code N°

5,439 of the Chubut province. These laws contain principles on environmental policy and management, as well as rules on environmental impact assessment. They also give certain agencies jurisdiction over environmental issues.

 

Almost all provinces as well as many municipalities have established rules regarding the use of water, the sewage system and the disposal of liquids into underground flows of water or rivers. There are currently no claims pending against EDASA related to these rules, whose violation normally results in a fine.

 

Paraguay

 

The environmental framework comprises several national and local environmental regulations. The Paraguayan Constitution of 1992 states that everyone has the right to live in a healthy and ecologically balanced environment and has the obligation to preserve it. All damage caused to the environment will carry the obligation to repair and compensate.

 

Law 1561/00 chartered the three primary environmental agencies in Paraguay. These are: The Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development, Consejo Nacional del Ambiente (CONAM or the National Environmental Counsel), and el Sistema Nacional del Ambiente (SISNAM or National Environmental System). The Law establishes the authority and responsibility of these agencies to develop and oversee the national environmental policy.

 

The Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development is the main environmental body responsible for the development and implementation of national environmental laws and it is also the authority responsible for implementing most of the national environmental regulations and for monitoring their compliance. The CONAM is responsible for investigating and establishing the main goals in the environmental policies, which the SEAM (Environmental Department of Paraguay) must then implement. The SISNAM is integrated by several bodies, including governmental and municipal agencies and private sector stakeholders, all interested in solving environmental issues. The SISNAM provides a discussion forum for the public and private sectors to work together collectively, developing ideas and plans to promote a sustainable development.

 

Environmental Impact: Law 294/93 states the rights and obligations that will be triggered by any damage caused to the environment and provides the obligation to restore the environment to its previous state or, if that is technically impossible, to make a payment or provide compensation.

 

Water Resources Act of Paraguay: Law 3239/07 on water resources establishes the sustainable management of all waters (superficial, ground, atmospheric) and the territories that generate such waters, regardless of their location, physical condition or natural occurrence within the Paraguayan territory, in order to make it socially, economically and environmentally sustainable for the people living in the territory of Paraguay. The supervising agency is the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. Superficial and ground waters are property of the State’s public domain. The law establishes the following order of priority for the use of water: i) fulfillment of the needs of aquatic ecosystems; ii) social use within the home environment; iii) use and enjoyment for agricultural activities, including aquaculture; iv) use and utilization for power generation; v) use and enjoyment for other industrial activities and vi) use and enjoyment for other activities. The use of water for productive purposes is subject to the authorization granted by the State through a permit (for the use of small amounts of water) or through concessions (prior public bidding process), in both cases after the payment of applicable fees. Authorizations may be revoked based on the occurrence of situations contemplated under the law. Concessions may be expropriated for public benefit or be terminated in certain situations established by the law. In addition, a National Registry of Water Resources has been created to keep record of all individuals or legal entities that utilize water resources or engage in activities related to them.

(1) Total installed annual production capacity assumes production of the mix of products and containers produced in 2017 and 2018.

 

In 2018, we continued to modernize and renovate our manufacturing facilities in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. We also made significant improvements to our auxiliary services and complementary processes such as water treatment plants and effluent treatment stations. We believe we have the capacity in each of the franchise territories to meet consumer demand for each product format. Because bottling is a seasonal business with significantly higher demand during the South American summer and spring and because soft drinks are perishable, it is necessary for bottlers to carry significant over-capacity in order to meet the substantially greater seasonal demand. We assure the quality of our products through worldwide class practices and procedures maintaining quality control laboratories and structures in each production facility where raw materials are tested and where we analyze samples of our products.

 

As of December 31, 2018, we had total installed annual production capacity, including soft drinks, fruit juices, and water, of 1,406 million unit cases. Our primary facilities include:

 

·                 through Coca-Cola Andina, in the Chilean territory, four soft drink production facilities with ten production lines in Renca, plus one post-mix line, five production lines in Antofagasta, plus one post-mix line, three production lines in Coquimbo plus one post-mix line, and two production lines in Punta Arenas, plus one post-mix line, with total installed annual capacity of 320 million unit cases (23.0% of our total installed annual capacity);

 

·                 through Vital Jugos in the Chilean territory, one fruit juice production facility, with 15 production lines, with total installed annual capacity of 43 million unit cases (3.1% of our total installed annual capacity);

 

·                 through Envases Central in the Chilean territory, one fruit juice production facility, with 1 production line, with total installed annual capacity of 23 million unit cases (1.6% of our total installed annual capacity);

 

·                 through Vital Aguas in the Chilean territory, one mineral water production facility, with three production lines, with total installed annual capacity of 41 million unit cases (2.9% of our total installed annual capacity);

Table of Contents

 

·                 through Rio de Janeiro Refrescos in the Brazilian territory, three soft drink production facilities with 16 production lines with total installed annual capacity of 449 million unit cases (32.2% of our total installed annual capacity); and nine production lines for juices, tea and water which satisfy the franchise’s needs and re-sales to other Bottlers in Brazil, with total installed annual capacity of 39 million unit cases (2.8% of our total installed annual capacity);

 

·                 through Embotelladora del Atlántico in the Argentine territory, three soft drink production facilities with 15 production lines with a total installed annual capacity of 305 million unit cases (21.9% of our total installed annual capacity); and two facilities for the production of juices with five production lines that covers the needs of our franchise with a total installed annual capacity of 38 million unit cases (2.7% of our total installed annual capacity), and one production line for waters and sensitive products with a total installed annual capacity of 33 million unit cases (2.4% of our total installed annual capacity);

 

·                 through Andina Empaques Argentina S.A. in the Argentine territory one production facility for bottles, preforms and plastic caps that covers the needs of the Coca-Cola system in that country. It has 13 preform injectors (including one injector which is currently not operating), three bottle blowers, two injectors for plastic caps and one production line for cases, with a total installed annual capacity of 2,046 million units considering PET bottles, preforms, plastic caps and cases.

 

·                 through PARESA in the Paraguayan territory, one production facility located in San Lorenzo, with eight production lines with a total installed annual capacity of 95 million unit cases (6.8% of our total installed annual capacity); and three tetra pack lines with a total installed annual capacity of 8 million unit cases (0.6% of our total installed annual capacity).

 

In 2015 we began construction of the Duque de Caixas plant in Brazil. This plant began operating in 2018. The plant has three production lines: returnable bottles, non-returnable bottles and mineral water. The additional installed capacity for returnable bottles allows us to expand production to meet demand, as our Jacarepaguá facility was operating at 100% capacity in terms of returnable PET. The water production line will allow us to reduce costs by meeting demand for the Rio de Janeiro area from this new facility rather than bringing mineral water from our facility in Ribeirão Preto. In 2018 production was 17 million unit cases, and in 2019, we expect production to reach 54 million unit cases (23% of our production capacity in Andina Brazil).

Results of operation

 

Set forth below is a discussion and analysis of our results of operation for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

 

Our consolidated financial results for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 include the results of our subsidiaries in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Our consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the subsidiaries outside Chile, converted into Chilean pesos (our functional and reporting currency). IFRS require assets and liabilities to be converted from the functional currency of each entity into the reporting currency (Chilean peso) at end of period exchange rates and income and expense accounts to be converted at the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which income or expense is recognized for subsidiaries that do not operate in hyperinflationary economies.

 

IFRS requires that assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries outside of Chile be converted from the functional currency to the presentation currency (Chilean peso) at year-end exchange rates, and that income and expense accounts are converted at monthly average exchange rates for the month in which they are recognized for those subsidiaries that do not operate in hyperinflationary economies.

 

In the case of our Argentine subsidiaries, which have been operating in an environment that during 2018 was classified as hyperinflationary, the conversion criteria from the functional currency of those subsidiaries to our presentation currency is the following:

 

· financial condition (balance sheet): Non-cash items are expressed in the current currency at the balance sheet date and translated to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate. Losses and gains are included in net earnings (fiscal year income).

 

58


Table of Contents

 

· first fiscal year: Losses and gains by correction of current non-monetary items the previous year are recorded in accumulated results as of January 1, 2018.

 

· statement of income: Income statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period, using the variation of the general price index from the date on which the expenses and revenues were accrued, and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate.

 

·  cash flow statement: Cash flow statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate.

 

· For more information on the effects of the hyper-inflationary environment in Argentina in 2018, see note 2.5 of our consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

Factors affecting comparability

 

The comparability of our consolidated financial statements for 2018 versus prior periods is influenced by the adoption of IFRS conversion rules for subsidiaries operating under a hyperinflationary economy in Argentina. This standard requires that the results of operations in Argentina be presented as if this economy were hyperinflationary from January 1, 2018 and, as a result, requires a restatement of accumulated results as of that month. In addition, due to the adoption of IAS 29, we had to translate figures from Argentinean pesos to Chilean pesos, using the closing exchange rate of the period. The IFRS standard does not require that the comparative financial information for 2017 and 2016 to be restated as of the closing of 2018, since the functional currency of the reporting company is the Chilean peso.

 

Except as expressed in the below paragraph, there are no events during the periods presented that significantly affect the comparability of the figures presented.

Net Sales

 

Our sales volume was 750.6 million unit cases during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 0.8% decrease compared to 756.3 million unit cases in 2017. Volume for soft drinks decreased 1.5%, volume for beer and spirits decreased 14.8%, while waters increased 0.7% and juices increased 7.2%, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 2017.

 

Our net sales were Ch$1,672,916 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 9.5% decrease compared to Ch$1,848,879 million during 2017, principally as a result of (i) the effect of currency conversions into Chilean pesos of the results of Argentina and Brazil, with a negative effect resulting from the devaluation of the Argentine peso and the Brazilian real.  This was partially offset by the increase in sales volume in Chile, Brazil and Paraguay, as well as by price increases implemented in each of our four geographic segments.

 

Soft drinks represented 69.7% of net sales during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 72.3% during 2017.

 

Chile

 

Our sales volume in Chile was 231.4 million unit cases during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 0.1% increase compared to 231.0 million unit cases during 2017. Soft drink volumes in Chile decreased 1.9%, while volume for waters increased by 3.7% and juices increased 4.9%, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 2017.

 

Our average market share for soft drinks in Chile during the year ended December 31, 2018, according to A.C. Nielsen Company, was 66.8% (in terms of volume), compared to 67.6% for 2017, and 69.2% (in terms of average sales), compared to 69.8% for 2017.

 

Our net sales in Chile were Ch$570,939 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 3.5% increase compared to Ch$551,873 million during 2017, which is explained mainly by higher revenues per unit case and partially offset by the aforementioned decrease in volume sold.

 

Our net sales of soft drinks in Chile were Ch$390,782 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, without significant variation when compared to Ch$391,629 million in 2017, primarily as a result of higher revenues per unit case and offset by the aforementioned decrease in volume sold. Our net sales of juices and waters in Chile were Ch$174,910 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 9.2% increase compared to Ch$160,224 million during 2017, primarily as a result of higher revenues per unit case and higher volume.

 

Brazil

 

Our sales volume in Brazil was 249.2 million unit cases during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 0.1% increase compared to 248.9 million unit cases during 2017. Volume for soft drinks in Brazil decreased 0.1% and beer decreased 15.7%, while volume for juices increased 8.3% and waters increased 27.0%, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 2017.

 

Our average market share for soft drinks in Brazil, during the year ended December 31, 2018, according to A.C. Nielsen Company, was 63.3% (in terms of volume), compared to 63.2% for 2017, and 68.3% (in terms of average sales), compared to 69.0% for 2017.

 

Our net sales in Brazil were Ch$540,510 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 10.5% decrease compared to Ch$603,898 million during 2017.

 

Our net sales of soft drinks in Brazil were Ch$326,016 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 15.9% decrease compared to Ch$387,545 million during 2017. In local currency, net sales of soft drinks decreased 3.2%, mainly as a result of lower revenues per unit case. Our net sales of juices, waters and beer in Brazil were Ch$214,494 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 0.9% decrease compared to Ch$216,353 million during 2017, mainly resulting from the effect of conversion of results into

Table of Contents

 

Chilean pesos, given the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the Chilean peso, which was partially offset by higher revenues per unit case in local currency. In local currency, net sales of juices, water and beer increased 13.8%, mainly as a result of higher revenues per unit case as well as higher revenues from Heineken sales commissions.

 

Argentina

 

Our sales volume in Argentina was 201.9 million unit cases during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 4.5% decrease compared to 211.4 million unit cases during 2017. Volume for soft drinks in Argentina decreased 4.3%, waters decreased 11.4%, while volume for juices increased by 7.8%, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017.

 

Our average market share for soft drinks in Argentina during the year ended December 31, 2018, according to A.C. Nielsen Company, was 63.0% (in terms of volume), compared to 62.3% for 2017, and 70.3% (in terms of average sales), compared to 69.0% for 2017.

 

Our net sales in Argentina were Ch$413,561 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 25.3% decrease compared to Ch$553,788 million during 2017. This is mainly explained by the effect of the conversion of results into Chilean pesos, due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso, and to a lesser extent by the decrease in volumes. These effects were partially offset by the continuous price increases in local currency implemented during the period, increases that have generally been in line with high levels of inflation during the period.

 

Our net sales of soft drinks in Argentina were Ch$330,875 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 25.6% decrease compared to Ch$444,872 million during 2017, primarily due to the devaluation of the Argentinean peso against the Chilean peso and the previously mentioned drop in volumes, and partially offset by a higher price in local currency. Our net sales of juices and waters in Argentina were Ch$74,528 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 25.3% decrease compared to Ch$99,713 million during 2017, primarily by the devaluation of the Argentinean peso against the Chilean peso and partially offset by a greater price in local currency.

 

Paraguay

 

Our sales volume in Paraguay was 68.2 million unit cases during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 4.9% increase compared to 65.0 million unit cases during 2017. Volume for soft drinks, juices and waters in Paraguay increased 3.7%, 17.8% and 6.6%, respectively, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 2017.

 

Our average market share for soft drinks in Paraguay during the year ended December 31, 2018, according to A.C. Nielsen Company, was 71.6% (in terms of volume) compared to 68.9% for 2017, and 77.4% (in terms of average sales) compared to 75.8% for 2017 according to the same source.

 

Our net sales in Paraguay were Ch$149,588 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 5.9% increase compared to Ch$141,277 million during 2017, mainly resulting from higher revenues per unit case in local currency and increased volume.

 

Our net sales of soft drinks in Paraguay were Ch$118,095 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 4.2% increase compared to Ch$113,315 million during 2017, primarily as a result of higher volumes and revenues per unit case in local currency. In local currency, our net sales of soft drinks increased 7.4%, primarily as a result of higher revenues per unit case and higher volume. Our net sales of juices and waters in Paraguay were Ch$31,493 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 12.6% increase compared to Ch$27,962 million during 2017, primarily as a result of higher volume and higher average prices.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Our cost of sales was Ch$968,028 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 9.4% decrease, compared to Ch$1,069,025 million during 2017. The cost of sales per unit case decreased 8.8% in the same period. The decrease in the cost of sales is mainly due to (i) the effect of conversion into Chilean pesos of the results from our subsidiaries in Argentina and Brazil, (ii) the reduction of the use of sugar in Brazil and Chile, because of the reformulations we have made, and (iii) the lower cost of sugar in Brazil and Chile. The foregoing was partially offset by (i) the increase in revenues in local currency in the four operations, which has a direct impact on the cost of concentrate, (ii) the effect of the devaluation of the Argentine peso and the Brazilian real on our dollarized costs, and (iii) the higher cost of PET resin. Our cost of sales represented 57.9% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 57.8% for 2017.

Chile

 

Our cost of sales in Chile was Ch$336,720 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 2.5% increase compared to Ch$328,579 million during 2017. The cost of sales per unit case increased 2.3% in the same period. This increase was mainly due to (i) the shift in the mix towards products that have a higher unit cost, and (ii) a higher cost of PET resin. This was partially offset by the lower cost of sugar and the lower use of sugar because of the shift in the mix towards sugar free products and because of the reformulations implemented. Our cost of sales in Chile represented 59.0% of net sales in Chile for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 59.5% for 2017.

 

Brazil

 

Our cost of sales in Brazil was Ch$329,529 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 9.1% decrease compared to Ch$362,686 million during 2017. The cost of sales per unit case decreased 9.2% in the same period mainly due to the negative effect on our dollarized costs of the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S dollar. In local currency total cost of sales increased 4.5%, mainly due to (i) the negative effect on our dollarized costs of the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, (ii) greater depreciation charges, explained by the new Duque de Caxias plant, and (iii) a greater cost of PET resin. These effects were partially offset by (i) the lower cost of sugar, and (ii) the lower use of sugar because of the reformulations implemented. Our cost of sales in Brazil represented 61.0% of net sales in Brazil for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 60.1% for 2017.

 

Argentina

 

Our cost of sales in Argentina was Ch$214,648 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 27.1% decrease compared to Ch$294,371 million during 2017. The cost of sales per unit case decreased 23.6% in the same period mainly due to the effect of the devaluation of the Argentine peso on our dollar denominated costs. In local currency cost of sales increased 54.5% mainly due to (i) 2018 results being stated in constant currency of December 2018 due to the application of IAS 29 for results for the year, while 2017 figures are stated in nominal local currency of each month of 2017, (ii) increased revenues in local currency, having a direct incidence on the cost of concentrate, (iii) increased labor costs and services provided by third parties, mainly as a result of high local inflation, (iv) the effect of the devaluation of the Argentine peso on our dollar denominated costs, and (v) a greater cost of PET resin.

We had distribution, administrative and sales expenses of Ch$479,518 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, an 11.4% decrease compared to Ch$541,127 million during 2017. This decrease is mainly explained by (i) the effect of the conversions into Chilean pesos of results from our subsidiaries in Argentina and Brazil, and (ii) lower advertising expenses in Brazil. This was partially offset by (i) the effect of inflation in Argentina on expenses such as labor, freight and services provided by third parties, (ii) higher labor costs in Chile and Paraguay, and (iii) greater advertising expense in Chile. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses represented 28.7% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 29.3% for 2017.

We had other expenses, net, of Ch$72,354 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 6.5% increase compared to Ch$67,928 million during 2017. The increase is mainly explained by the increase in financial expenses resulting from the accounting effect of the partial repurchase of bonds in October 2018, since the premium paid with respect the nominal value of the bond, as well as expenses associated to the transaction, are recorded as a financial expense, which amounted to Ch$9,583 million. This increase in expenses is partially offset by a greater recognition of earnings from investments in related companies, mainly because of the better performance of Brazilian equity investees.

 

Income Taxes

 

We had income taxes of Ch$55,565 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, a 7.3% increase compared to Ch$51,798 million during 2017. This increase is mainly because of the effect of IAS 29 on deferred taxes, as well as greater tax earnings resulting from exchange rate differences.

Our cost of sales in Brazil was Ch$362,686 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 1.0% increase compared to Ch$359,156 million during 2016. The cost of sales per unit case increased 8.0% in the same period. In local currency total cost of sales decreased 3.3%, mainly due to (i) the decrease in revenues, which has a direct impact on the cost of concentrate, (ii) lower volume sold, and (iii) the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. Dollar, which has a positive effect on our dollar denominated costs. These effects were partially offset by (i) the shift in the mix towards products carrying a higher unit cost and (ii) a higher sugar price. Our cost of sales in Brazil represented 60.1% of net sales in Brazil for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 60.9% for 2016.

 

Argentina

 

Our cost of sales in Argentina was Ch$294,371 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 5.4% increase compared to Ch$279,308 million during 2016. The cost of sales per unit case increased 9.1% in the same period. In local currency cost of sales increased 22.9% mainly due to (i) increased revenues, having a direct effect on the cost of concentrate, (ii) increased labor costs, mainly as a result of high local inflation, (iii) higher sugar price, and (iv) the effect of the devaluation of the Argentine peso on our dollar denominated costs. Our cost of sales in Argentina represented 53.2% of net sales in Argentina for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 54.0% for 2016.

 

Paraguay

 

Our cost of sales in Paraguay was Ch$85,347 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 8.8% increase compared to Ch$78,410 million during 2016. Cost of sales per unit case increased 3.9% during the same period. In local currency, cost of sales increased 12.7% primarily due to (i) a higher sugar price, (ii) higher volume sold, and (iii) higher costs in repair and maintenance. Our cost of sales in Paraguay represented 60.4% of net sales in Paraguay for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 59.4% for 2016.

 

Gross Profit

 

Due to the factors described above, our gross profit was Ch$779,854 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 4.9% increase compared to Ch$743,549 million during 2016. Our gross profit represented 42.2% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 41.8% of our net sales in 2016.

 

Distribution, administrative and sales expenses

 

We had distribution, administrative and sales expenses of Ch$541,127 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 2.1% increase compared to Ch$529,879 million during 2016. This increase is mainly explained by (i) the effect of inflation in Argentina on expenses such as labor, freight and services provided by third parties, and (ii) higher labor costs in Chile, Brazil and Paraguay. This was partially offset by (i) the effect of converting figures from our subsidiary in Argentina, (ii) lower marketing expenses in Brazil, and (iii) lower freight costs in Brazil. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses represented 29.3% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 29.8% for 2016.

 

Chile

 

In Chile, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$150,404 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 1.3% decrease equivalent to Ch$1,930 million compared to Ch$152,334 million during 2016. This decrease in distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Chile was mainly due to the effect of other operating income classified under this item, which were lower in 2016. Isolating this effect, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses would have increased 0.9% in local currency, which is mainly explained by (i) higher distribution freight expenses, which was 5.4% higher compared to the previous year, and (ii) higher labor costs, which were 2.2% higher compared to the previous year. These effects were partially offset by lower marketing expenses, which were 7.0% lower compared to the previous year. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Chile represented 27.3% of our net sales in Chile during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 28.2% for 2016.

Brazil

 

In Brazil, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$157,401 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 1.4% decrease compared to Ch$159,699 million during 2016. In local currency, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses decreased 5.4% mainly due to (i) lower marketing expenses and (ii) lower freight costs resulting from the lower volume sold. This was partially offset by higher labor costs, which were 1.5% higher. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Brazil represented 26.1% of our net sales in Brazil during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 27.1% for 2016.

 

Argentina

 

In Argentina, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$197,595 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, an 8.0% increase compared to Ch$182,894 million during 2016. In local currency, the distribution, administrative and sales expenses increased 26.5%, mainly due to the effect of local inflation over expenses such as freight, labor and services provided by third parties. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Argentina represented 35.7% of our net sales in Argentina during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 35.4% for 2016.

 

Paraguay

 

In Paraguay, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$30,508 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a 2.2% increase, compared to Ch$29,849 million during 2016. The distribution, administrative and sales expenses in local currency in Paraguay increased 5.8%, which is primarily explained by (i) greater labor expenses, which were 12.4% higher compared to the previous year and (ii) higher distribution freight costs, which were 14.5% higher compared to the previous year, mainly due to an increase in direct sales.   This was partially offset by lower depreciation charges, which were 20.7% lower compared to the previous year. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Paraguay represented 21.6% of our net sales in Paraguay during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 22.6% for 2016.

We had other expenses, net, of Ch$67,928 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a Ch$4,886 million, or 6.7% decrease compared to Ch$72,814 million during 2016. The decrease is mainly explained by the decrease in financial expenses resulting from a lower indebtedness level in Argentina and Brazil, lower losses by readjustment units due to the lower inflation recorded in Chile in 2017 versus 2016, which favorably impacts the debt indexed to the Chilean inflation (Unidad de Fomento). In addition, during 2017, revenues from reversals of contingency provisions, for the IPI Manaus lawsuits won in Brazil, were recognized under other expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

We had income taxes of Ch$51,798 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, a Ch$2,991 million, or 6.1% increase compared to Ch$48,807 million during 2016. This increase is mainly explained by greater operating income (11.8%), partially offset by the effects of higher financial expenses and deferred tax estimates due to the exchange rate variation.

Basis of Presentation

 

The aforementioned discussion should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB.

 

These financial statements reflect the consolidated financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 as well as the operating results, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, all of which were approved by the board of directors on April 24, 2019.

 

Our consolidated financial results include the results of our subsidiaries located in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Our subsidiaries outside Chile prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS and to comply with local regulations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the country in which they operate. The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the subsidiaries outside of Chile, converted to Chilean pesos (functional and reporting currency of the parent company) and are presented in accordance with IFRS. The IFRS require that balances of subsidiaries be converted from their functional currency to the presentation currency (Chilean peso). The conversion for subsidiaries operating in non-hyperinflationary environments (Brazil and Paraguay) shall be performed by converting the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries at year-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts must be converted at monthly average exchange rates of the month in which they are recognized. And in the case of subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary environments (Argentina), non-monetary assets and liabilities and income statements will be restated by the inflation rate of the hyperinflationary economy, bringing its effects to the income statement. These restated balances will be converted from the functional currency to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate of each year.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Discussion of critical accounting estimates

 

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of our results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS. We cannot assure you that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of accounting policies significant to our operations, please see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of indefinite useful life

 

The Company tests if goodwill and intangible assets of indefinite useful life have suffered impairment loss on an annual basis or whenever there are indicators of impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units are determined based on calculations of the value in use. The key variables that management calculates include the volume of sales, prices, marketing expenses and other economic factors. The estimation of these variables requires a material administrative judgment as those variables imply inherent uncertainties. However, the assumptions are consistent with our internal planning. Therefore, management evaluates, and updates estimates according to the conditions affecting the variables. If these assets are deemed to have become impaired, they will be written off at their estimated fair value or future recovery value according to discounted cash flows. Discounted free cash flows in the cash generating unit of the Parent Company in Chile as well as the subsidiaries in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay generated greater values than their respective assets, including goodwill for the Brazilian, Argentine and Paraguayan subsidiaries.

 

Fair value of assets and liabilities

 

IFRS requires, in certain cases, that assets and liabilities be recorded at their fair value. Fair value is the amount at which an asset can be purchased or sold or the amount at which a liability can be incurred or liquidated in an actual transaction among parties duly informed under conditions of mutual independence, different from a forced liquidation.

 

The basis for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value are the current prices in the active market. Lacking such an active market, we estimate said values based on the best information available, including the use of models or other valuation techniques.

 

We estimated the fair value of the intangible assets acquired as a result of mergers and acquisitions based on the multiple period excess earning method, which implies the estimation of future cash flows generated by intangible assets, adjusted by cash flows that

 

73


Table of Contents

 

do not come from intangible assets, but from other assets. For this, we estimated the time during which the intangible asset will generate cash flows, the cash flows themselves, cash flows from other assets and a discount rate.

 

Other assets acquired and implicit liabilities in the business combination are carried at fair value using valuation methods that are considered appropriate under the circumstances including the cost of depreciated recovery and recent transaction values for comparable assets, among others. These methodologies require certain inputs to be estimated, including the estimation of future cash flows.

 

Provision for doubtful accounts

 

We evaluate the possibility of collecting trade accounts receivables using several factors. We apply a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses. Accordingly, we do not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognize a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. We have established a provision matrix that is based on our historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

 

Useful life, residual value and impairment of property, plant, and equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of those assets. Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances, changes to our business model, or changes in our capital strategy might modify the effective useful lives compared to our estimates. Whenever we determine that the useful life of property, plant and equipment might be shortened, it depreciates the excess between the net book value and the estimated recoverable amount according to the revised remaining useful life. Factors such as changes in the planned use of manufacturing equipment, dispensers, and transportation equipment or computer software could make the useful lives of assets shorter. We review the impairment of long-lived assets each time events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of any of those assets might not be recovered. The estimate of future cash flows is based, among other things, on certain assumptions about the expected operating profits in the future. Our estimates of non-discounted cash flows may differ from real cash flows because of, among other reasons, technological changes, economic conditions, changes in the business model, or changes in the operating profit. If the sum of non-discounted cash flows that have been projected (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the asset, the asset will be written down to its estimated recoverable value.

 

Liabilities for bottle and case collateral

 

We have a liability for deposits received for bottles and cases provided to our customers and distributors. The liability represents the deposit value that we may be required to remit upon receipt from the customer or distributor of the bottles and cases, in good condition, along with the original invoice. The liability is not subject to price level restatements as per current agreements with customers and distributors. We estimate the liability for deposits based on a periodic inventory of bottles loaned to customers and distributors, estimates of bottles in circulation and a weighted average historical deposit value per bottle or case. Significant management judgment is involved in estimating the number of bottles in circulation, the deposit value that could be subject to redemption and the timing of disbursements related to this liability.

 

Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations

 

Pursuant to the methodology of conversion of IFRS, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries of Brazil and Paraguay are converted from their functional currency (Brazilian real and Paraguayan guarani, respectively) to the presentation currency of the Parent company (Chilean peso), at the closing exchange rate, and income accounts at the exchange rate of the date of each transaction or at the average exchange rate of each month in which these are performed. In the case of subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary environments (Argentina, beginning in 2018), non-monetary assets and liabilities and income statements are restated by the inflation rate of the hyperinflationary economy, bringing its effects to the income statement. These restated balances are converted from the functional currency to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate of each year. The effects of these conversions are presented as other comprehensive income not affecting the results of the fiscal years ended as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The conversion effect resulting from bringing assets and liabilities (including the effects of intercompany accounts designated as an integral part of the investment) from the functional currency to the presentation currency, according to the methodology described above, resulted in a decrease of other comprehensive income of Ch$69,597 million in 2018 (a net decrease of Ch$68,333 million in 2017 and a net decrease of Ch$4,517 million in 2016).

 

In order to protect us from the effects on income resulting from the volatility of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, we maintain derivative contracts (cross currency swaps) derivative to cover almost 100% of U.S. dollar-denominated financial liabilities.

On the other hand, according to our currency hedge policy, we enter into forward contracts on a monthly basis to protect against the risk of variation of the U.S. dollar, which has an impact on some of our principal raw materials. This is why on our balance sheets there are dollar forward contracts against the Argentine peso, the Brazilian real, the Chilean peso and the Paraguayan guaraní. These contracts depend on each operation.

 

The mark to market of these contracts are recorded according to the hedge accounting methodology outlined in IFRS standards, i.e., the valuation at fair value is carried to equity accounts, and when the effect on results of the hedged item occurs, the effects of derivatives contracts, are recycled from equity to operating results. For further information about the instruments we use to protect against foreign currency risk, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk.”

 

Impact of Governmental Policies

 

Our business is dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in our countries of operation. Various governmental economic, fiscal, monetary and political policies, such as those related to inflation or foreign exchange, may affect these economic conditions, and in turn may impact our business. These government policies may also affect investments by our shareholders.

 

For a discussion of political factors and governmental, economic, fiscal and monetary policies that could materially affect investments by U.S. shareholders as well as our operations, please refer to “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” and “Item 10. Additional Information”.

 

B.                                   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Capital Resources, Treasury and Funding Policies

 

The products we sell are usually paid for in cash or short-term credit, and therefore our main source of financing comes from the cash flow of our operations. This cash flow has been generally sufficient to cover the investments necessary for the normal course of our business, as well as the distribution of dividends approved at our General Shareholders’ Meeting. Nevertheless, in 2013 it was necessary to issue international bonds to finance the acquisition of the 100% stake of Ipiranga in Brazil for R$1,155 million (equivalent to Ch$261,245 million). Our net cash position diminished after the merger with Polar and the Ipiranga acquisition in part because Polar and Ipiranga previously had more debt when compared to Andina’s balance sheet. Should additional funding be required for potential future investments in geographic expansion or other needs, the main sources of financing to consider are: (i) debt offerings in the Chilean and foreign capital markets (ii) borrowings from commercial banks, both internationally and in the local markets where we have operations; and; (iii) public equity offerings.

 

Certain restrictions could exist to transfer funds from our operating subsidiaries to our parent company, as it was the case of cash flows generated by our subsidiary in Argentina in the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. Currently, there are no such restrictions in place. During 2018, we received dividends from subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. We cannot assure you that we will not face restrictions in the future regarding the distribution of dividends from our foreign subsidiaries.

 

Our management believes that we have access to financial resources to maintain our current operations and provide for our current capital expenditure and working capital requirements, scheduled debt payments, interest and income tax payments and dividend payments to shareholders.

 

The amount and frequency of future dividends to our shareholders will be determined at the General Shareholders’ Meeting upon the proposal of our board of directors in light of our earnings and financial condition at such time, and we cannot assure you that dividends will be declared in the future. However, it should be noted that Corporate Law requires us to distribute at least 30% of any profits generated each year.

 

Our board of directors has been empowered by our shareholders to define our financing and investment policies. Our bylaws do not define a strict financing structure, nor do they limit the types of investments we may make. Traditionally, we have preferred to use our own resources to finance our investments.

 

Our financing policy contemplates that each subsidiary must finance its own operations. From this perspective, each subsidiary’s management must focus on cash generation and should establish clear targets for operating income, capital expenditures and levels of working capital. These targets are reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure that their objectives are met. Should additional financing needs arise, either as a result of a cash deficit or to take advantage of market opportunities, our general policy is to prefer local financing to allow for natural hedging. If local financing conditions were not acceptable, because of costs or other constraints, Andina will provide financing, or our subsidiary could finance itself in a currency different than the local one and through derivative instruments they will be hedged against the operation’s functional currency.

Table of Contents

 

Our cash management policy contemplates that any cash surplus must be invested in a portfolio of investment grade securities until such time as our board of directors makes a final decision as to the disposition of the surplus.

 

Derivative instruments are utilized only for business purposes, and never for speculative purposes. Pursuant to our currency hedge policy, forward currency contracts are used in some operations to cover the risk of local currency devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar in an amount not greater than the budgeted purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials. Depending on market conditions, instead of forward currency contracts, from time to time we prefer to utilize our cash surplus to purchase raw materials in advance to obtain better prices and a fixed exchange rate.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2018 vs. Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2017

 

Cash flows from operating activities during 2018 amounted to Ch$235,279 million compared to Ch$247,960 million in 2017. The decrease in cash flow generation was mainly due to higher payments to suppliers during 2018.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2017 vs. Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2016

 

Cash flows from operating activities during 2017 amounted to Ch$247,960 million compared to Ch$223,447 million in 2016. The decrease in cash flow generation was mainly due to lower payments to suppliers during 2017.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2018 vs. Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2017

 

Cash flows for investment activities (includes purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment; investments in associated companies; and financial Investments) amounted to Ch$118,086 million in 2018 compared to Ch$168,831 million during 2017. During 2018 we made lower investments in property, plant and equipment in the amount of Ch$47,794 million and there is also a negative effect resulting from lower redemptions proceeds from financial instruments in the amount of Ch$26,316 million whose negative effect is offset by the positive effect of disbursements made in 2017 related to the participation in the purchase of the AdeS business in conjunction with The Coca-Cola Company for Ch$26,077 million.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2017 vs. Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2016

 

Cash flows for investment activities (includes purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment; investments in associated companies; and financial Investments) amounted to Ch$168,831 million in 2017 compared to Ch$113,916 million during 2016. During 2017 we made greater investments in property, plant and equipment in the amount of Ch$40,641 million and capital contributions were realized in the associated company Coca del Valle New Ventures S.A. and Trop Frutas do Brasil Ltda. for a total amount of Ch$15,570 million and disbursements related to the participation in the purchase of the AdeS business in conjunction with The Coca-Cola Company for Ch$26,077 million.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2018 vs. Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2017

 

Our financing activities are directly related to dividend distributions to shareholders, which records a utilization of cash resources amounting to Ch$87,536 million compared to Ch$74,968 million during 2017 and bank loans and the payment of these loans to finance these dividend and investment payments. Because of the seasonality of our business, we generate more cash flows during the summer months (December to March); therefore, during the winter season we may require financing to meet our dividend commitments and short-term investments.

 

As of December 31, 2018, 36 short-term credit lines are available for an amount equivalent to Ch$389,110 million, of which the equivalent of Ch$250,966 million corresponds to 20 unused lines of credit that remain available. In Argentina, we had the equivalent of Ch$115,702 million in credit available from eight lines of credit which have not been used. In Brazil, we had the equivalent of Ch$233,568 million in credit available from 20 lines of credit. The unused portion of these lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$95,424 million. In Chile, we had the equivalent of Ch$15,700 million in credit available from five lines of credit, which have not been used. In Paraguay, we had the equivalent of Ch$24,140 million in credit available from two lines of credit, which have not been used.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2017 vs. Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2016

 

Our financing activities are directly related to dividend distributions to shareholders, which records a utilization of cash resources amounting to Ch$74,968 million compared to Ch$67,592 million during 2016 and bank loans and the payment of these loans to finance these dividend and investment payments. Because of the seasonality of our business, we generate more cash flows

during the summer months (December to March); therefore, during the winter season we may require financing to meet our dividend commitments and short-term investments.

 

As of December 31, 2017, 20 short-term credit lines are available for an amount equivalent to Ch$403,028 million, of which the equivalent of Ch$265,095 million corresponds to 18 unused lines of credit that remain available. In Argentina, we had the equivalent of Ch$101,434 million in credit available from eight lines of credit. The unused portion of such lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$88,217 million. In Brazil, we had the equivalent of Ch$264,563 million in credit available from four lines of credit. The unused portion of these lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$139,846 million. In Chile, we had the equivalent of Ch$15,700 million in credit available from two lines of credit, which have not been used. In Paraguay, we had the equivalent of Ch$21,332 million in credit available from two lines of credit, which have not been used.

 

Liabilities

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, our total liabilities, excluding non-controlling interest, were Ch$1,350,790 million; representing a 3.8% increase compared to December 31, 2017. The increase in total liabilities resulted mainly from the restatement of bonds payable denominated in U.S. dollars (given the devaluation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar), and the increase of bonds payable for UF 5.7 million, partially offset by the prepayment of US$210 million given the prepayment of the bond in U.S. dollars and a decrease in the balance of trade accounts payable. As of December 31, 2018, our non-current liabilities included (i) other non-current financial liabilities for Ch$716,564 million, (ii) non-current accounts payable for Ch$736 million, (iii) other non-current provisions for Ch$58,967 million, (iv) deferred tax liabilities for Ch$145,246 million, and (v) provisions for employee benefits for Ch$9,416 million. Total non-current liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2018 amounted to Ch$930,928 million compared to Ch$873,339 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2018, our current liabilities included (i) other current financial liabilities of Ch$56,115 million; (ii) trade accounts and other accounts payable for Ch$238,110 million; (iii) current accounts payable to related entities for Ch$45,828 million; (iv) other current provisions for Ch$3,486 million; (v) current tax liabilities for Ch$9,339 million; (vi) current employee benefit provisions for Ch$33,211 million and (vii) other non-financial current liabilities for Ch$33,774 million. Total current liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2018 amounted to Ch$419,862 million compared to Ch$428,287 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2018, and before the cross-currency swaps contracts the company entered in, our bond liabilities had a weighted average interest rate of 4.0% while our bank liabilities had a weighted average interest rate of 5.65%.

 

Summary of Significant Debt Instruments

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company is in compliance with all its debt covenants which are summarized below:

 

Series B Local Bonds (BANDI-B1;BANDI-B2)

Net financial debt means the difference between the Company financial debt and cash.

For these purposes Adjusted Consolidated Operating Flow is the addition of the following accounting items of the Issuer’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position: (i) Gross Income, including revenue and cost of sales, less (ii) Distribution Costs, less (iii) Administrative Expenses, plus (iv) Participation in Earnings (Losses) of Associates and Joint Ventures accounted for using the Equity Method, plus (v) Depreciation, plus (vi) Amortization of Intangibles.

Senior Notes due 2023

 

In October 2013, we issued US$575 million of Senior Notes in the U.S. market under 144A/Reg S regulations. These notes are unsecured obligations with a bullet structure due 2023. The proceeds from these notes were used to finance a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Ipiranga and for general corporate purposes.

 

In October 2018, as part of the Company’s debt restructuring, Andina performed a partial repurchase of the Senior Notes in the amount of US$210 million (which was refinanced with the placement of Series F Local Bonds in the Chilean local market), with a total outstanding amount of Senior Notes of US$365 million.

 

C.                                    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES

 

Given the nature of the business and the support provided by The Coca-Cola Company as franchisor to its bottlers, the Company’s research and development expenses are not meaningful. For more information on patents and licenses, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — Bottler Agreements”.

 

D.                                   TREND INFORMATION

 

Our results will likely continue to be influenced by changes in the level of consumer demand in the countries in which we operate, resulting from governmental economic measures that are or may be implemented in the future. Additionally, principal raw materials used in the production of soft drinks, such as sugar and resin, may experience price increases in the future. Such price increases may affect our results if we are unable to pass the cost increases on to the sales price of our products due to depressed consumer demand and/or heightened competition.

Increased competition from low-price brands is another factor that could limit our ability to grow, and thus negatively affect our results.

 

Finally, exchange rate fluctuations, in particular the potential devaluations relative to the U.S. dollar of local currencies in the countries in which we operate, may adversely affect our results because of the impact on the cost of U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials and the conversion of monetary assets.

 

E.                                   OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of December 31, 2018, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

In Chile, we continue to make provisions for severance indemnities in accordance with our collective bargaining agreements and labor legislations, in the amount of one month’s salary for every year of employment subject to certain restrictions.

Employees are required to contribute funds for financing pension funds, which are mainly managed by private entities.

Andina Brazil experienced its most recent work stoppages in December 2014, for three days organized by the drivers of internal buses in the Espirito Santo operation. However, as this operation no longer uses internal buses, such work stoppages are not expected to occur in the future.

 

Argentina

 

In Argentina, 66.9% of EDASA’s employees are parties to collective bargaining agreements and are represented by local workers’ unions associated with a national federation of unions. The Argentine Chamber of Non-Alcoholic Beverages of the Argentine Republic (Cámara Argentina de Industria de Bebidas sin Alcohol de la República Argentina (the “Chamber”) and the Argentine Workers Federation of Carbonated Water (Federación Argentina de Trabajadores de Aguas Gaseosas) (the “Federation”) are parties to a collective bargaining agreement that began July 29, 2008. On December 12, 2018, the Chamber and the Federation entered into a new collective bargaining agreement establishing new salaries, new non- salary benefits and a new complementary regulation on company contributions.

 

Argentine law requires severance payments upon dismissal without cause in an amount at least equal to an average of one-month’s wages for each year of employment or a fraction thereof if employed longer than three months. Severance payments are subject to maximum and minimum amounts fixed by legislations and jurisprudence of the Justice Supreme Court of Argentina.

 

All employee contributions are made to the state social security system. Most of the health system in the Argentine territory is run by the unions through contributions from employees within the Collective Work Agreements (CCT — Convenios Colectivos de Trabajo).

 

Paraguay

Our controlling shareholders pass resolutions with the approval of at least four of the five parties, except with respect to the following matters, which require an unanimous decision:

Specifically, our controlling shareholders are

restricted from transferring its Series A shares without the prior authorization of The Coca-Cola Company. The Shareholders’ Agreement also provides for certain corporate governance matters, including the right of the Coca-Cola shareholders to elect two members of our board of directors so long as The Coca-Cola Company and its subsidiaries collectively own, in aggregate, certain percentage of the Series A shares. In addition, in related agreements, our controlling shareholders granted The Coca-Cola Company an option, exercisable upon the occurrence of certain changes in the beneficial ownership of the Controlling Group, to acquire 100% of the Series A shares held by our controlling shareholders at a price and in accordance with procedures established in such agreements.

 

B.            RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we engage in a variety of transactions with certain of our affiliates and related parties.

Our Directors’ Committee is responsible for evaluating transactions with related parties and for reporting these transactions to the full board of directors. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors’ Committee”.

 

Our management believes, to the best of its knowledge, that it has complied in all material respects with the Chilean Public Company law regarding to the transactions with related parties in effect as of December 31, 2018. There can be no assurance, however, that these regulations will not be modified in the future.

Dividend Policy

 

The declaration and payment of dividends are determined, subject to the limitations set forth below, by the affirmative vote of a majority of our shareholders at a general shareholders’ meeting, based upon the recommendation of our board of directors.

 

At our annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting, our board of directors submits our annual financial statements for the preceding fiscal year together with reports prepared by our Audit Committee for approval by our shareholders. Once our shareholders have approved our annual financial statements, they determine the allocation of our net income, after provision for income taxes and legal reserves for the preceding year and considering the accumulation of losses from prior periods. All shares of our capital stock outstanding at the time a dividend or other distribution is declared are entitled to share equally in that dividend or other distribution, except that holders of our Series B shares are entitled to a dividend 10% greater than any dividend on Series A shares.

 

Pursuant to Chilean law, we must distribute cash dividends equal to at least 30% of our annual net income, calculated in accordance with IFRS. If we do not record any net income in a given year, we are not legally required to distribute dividends from accumulated earnings. At the General Shareholders’ Meeting held in April of 2018, our shareholders authorized our board of directors to distribute, at its discretion, interim dividends during 2018 and 2019.

 

During 2016, 2017 and 2018, our respective General Shareholders’ Meetings approved additional dividend payments to be paid from retained earnings, given our significant cash generation. These additional dividend payments for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are not indicative of whether or not additional dividend payments will be made in any future period.

 

The following table sets forth the amount in Chilean pesos of dividends declared and paid per share each year and the U.S. dollar amounts paid to shareholders (each ADR represents six shares), on each of the respective payment dates:

The total number of registered ADR holders we had at December 2018 was 23 (16 in the Series A ADRs and 7 in the Series B ADRs). As of that date the ADRs represented 3.07% of the total number of our issued and outstanding shares. On December 31, 2018, the closing price for the Series A shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange was Ch$2,250 per share (US$18.94 per Series A ADR), and Ch$2,595 for the Series B shares (US$22.82 per Series B ADR). At December 31, 2018, there were 344,862 Series A ADRs (equivalent to 2,069,172 Series A shares) and 3,975,723 Series B ADRs (equivalent to 23,854,338 Series B shares).

 

Trading activity on the Santiago Stock Exchange is on average substantially less than that on the principal national securities exchanges in the United States. We estimate that for the year ended December 31, 2018, Andina’s shares were traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange on an average of approximately 74% and 100% of such trading days, for Series A and Series B shares, respectively.

 

Other than as previously discussed in “Item 7 - Major Shareholders” we are not aware of any other existing contracts or documents that impose material limitations or qualifications on the rights of shareholders of our listed securities.

 

Debt Securities

 

The Central Bank is responsible, inter alia, for Chile’s monetary policies and exchange controls. The Central Bank has authorized Chilean issuers to offer bonds in Chile and abroad under the terms of Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales or CFER). The following paragraphs summarize some of the Central Bank rules on international bond issuances. This summary does not intend to be complete and those interested in a full description should refer to Chapter XIV of the CFER.

 

Effective April 19, 2001 the CFER greatly simplified the procedure to register capital contributions, investments and foreign loans, including bonds issuances. Payments or remittances of funds, to or from Chile, in connection with credits granted abroad should be made through the Formal Exchange Market, which is composed by the main commercial banks that operate in Chile. When foreign currency resulting from loans or bonds is made available to the beneficiary in the country, the intervening bank should issue the pertinent “Form” and request certain information from the debtor and creditor, as applicable, pursuant to Chapter XIV.

 

Payments or remittances of foreign currency as capital, interest, adjustments, profits and other benefits originating in the transactions regulated under Chapter XIV must be reported to the Central Bank as follows: (i) if the foreign currency represents a remittance made from Chile, the intervening Formal Exchange Market bank should issue the above form; (ii) the issuer or borrower should inform the Central Bank, within the first 10 days of the month following the date of the transaction, if the foreign currency

used to make the pertinent payments originates from credit transactions for which the foreign currency has been used directly abroad or if the corresponding payment obligation is fulfilled abroad using funds other than those indicated in Chapter XIV.

 

Any change in the terms of the transaction must be reported to the Central Bank within 10 days after formalization. This requirement applies, among others, to the substitution of the debtor or creditor, total or partial assignments of credits or rights and the modification of the financial terms of the respective credit regarding investments or capital contributions.

 

Exchange rule amendments dated April 2001 established that transactions recorded prior to April 19, 2001 will continue to be governed by the rules in force at the time they were recorded, but that the parties may choose to apply the new regulations.

 

These procedures also apply to foreign loans obtained through the placement of convertible bonds, in which case the issuer shall report to the Central Bank any increase or decrease in their registered amount as a result of the conversion of convertible bonds denominated and payable in Chilean pesos, for other convertible bonds denominated and payable in foreign currency or shares, as applicable, acquired by foreign investors with proceeds that had entered Chile under the terms of Chapter XIV.

 

According to Chapter XIV, the Central Bank established that credits relating to acts, agreements or contracts which create a direct obligation of payment or remittance of foreign currency abroad by persons domiciled or residing in Chile, that exceed on an individual basis the sum of US$100,000 or the equivalent in other foreign currencies, absent any special rule in the CFER, shall be reported to the Chilean Central Bank by the obligor either directly or through a Formal Exchange Market entity using the forms contained in the CFER, within 10 days from formalization.

 

In February 1999, after obtaining the requisite authorization from the Central Bank, we issued bonds in the international markets, subject to the exchange regulations in effect at that time. The main difference between the exchange regime applicable to our bond issuances and those currently in effect, is that in the case of our bond issuances the Central Banks warrants the access to currency markets. However, the regime applicable to our bond issuance has less flexibility as far as the procedures to carry out payments or remittances to bond holders.

 

We cannot give any assurance that the Central Bank will not impose future restrictions applicable to the holders of debt securities, nor can we make any evaluation of the duration or impact of such restrictions, if imposed.

Board of Directors and Shareholder Meetings

 

The members of the board of Directors are proposed and elected every three years during the general annual shareholders’ meeting. Separate voting of the Series A and Series B shareholder elect board members. As mentioned, Series A shares elect twelve directors, and Series B shares elect two Directors.

 

Board members are elected by separate voting at Series A and Series B shareholders meeting and will hold their offices for three years with the possibility to be re-elected for an indefinite number of periods. Even though we have not established a formal process that allows our shareholders to communicate with the directors, shareholders desiring to do so may share their opinions, considerations or recommendations before or during the corresponding shareholders’ meeting which will be heard and attended by the Chairman of the Board, or by the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, and any such recommendations will be submitted for resolution by the shareholders in attendance during the meeting.

 

Regular general shareholders meetings are held once a year within the first four months following the date of the annual balance sheet. We prepare a balance sheet annually on our operations as of December 31, which is presented together with the profit and loss statement, the report by the auditors and annual report to the respective shareholders meeting. The board sends a copy of the balance sheet, annual report, report by the auditors and respective notes to each of the shareholders registered in the registry no later than by the date the first summons is published. Special shareholders meetings may be held at any time according to corporate needs and to discuss and decide upon any matter within the competence thereof, provided it is indicated in the summons. Being a shareholder of the Company is the only condition for entry to a shareholder’s meeting.

D.                                    EXCHANGE CONTROLS

 

Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile

 

The Central Bank is responsible, among other matters, for setting monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. As of April 19, 2001, the Chilean Central Bank (“CCB”) eliminated prior foreign exchange controls, imposed certain reporting requirements and determined that certain operations be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market (“FEM”). The main purpose of these amendments, as declared by the Central Bank, is to facilitate the flow of capital into Chile and outside the country and to foster foreign investment.

 

Equity investments in Chile (including investments in stock) by non-resident persons or entities must comply with some existing exchange control restrictions. Foreign investments may be registered with the Foreign Investment Committee (Comité de Inversiones Extranjeras) in accordance with Law N° 600 of 1974 and amendments or with the Central Bank in accordance with Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales or CFER) of the Central Bank. In the case of Decree Law N° 600, foreign investors execute a foreign investment agreement with Chile, thus guaranteeing access to the FEM. However, investors under Decree Law N° 600 will only be able to repatriate capital one year after the investment. Earnings can be remitted abroad at any time. In the case of CFER, capital as well as earnings can be repatriated at any time, without an agreement with the Central Bank.

 

During 2001, the CCB eliminated certain exchange controls. For instance, it revoked Chapter XXVI of the CFER, which regulated the issuance and placement of ADRs by Chilean corporations. Pursuant to the new rules, the Central Bank’s approval is no

longer a pre-condition for ADR issuances or foreign investment contracts with the CCB. ADR issuances are now regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, and the only requirements are that the CCB be informed of the transaction, by fulfilling the rules of Chapter XIV of the CFER, that mainly establishes that the monies come in or leave the country exclusively through the Formal Exchange Market, if the recipient of the investment decides to enter the foreign currency to the country or if it carries out payments or remittances from Chile.

 

Notwithstanding these changes, exchange transactions authorized prior to April 19, 2001 remained subject to the rules in force as of the date of such transactions. The new exchange regime did not affect Chapter XXVI of the CFER and the Foreign Investment Contract (“FIC”) between Andina, the Central Bank and The Bank of New York Mellon (as Depositary of the shares represented by ADRs). Notwithstanding the previous, the parties to the FIC may choose to adopt the norms imposed by the CCB, resigning to those of the FIC, and which has been the option we have taken until this date. The FIC is the agreement by which access to the FEM is given to the Depositary and ADR holders. The FIC adopted the dispositions of Chapter XXVI and was celebrated pursuant to Article 47 of the Constitutional Organic Act of the CCB.

 

Under Chapter XXVI of the CFER, if the funds to purchase the common shares underlying the ADRs are brought into Chile, the Depositary must deliver, on behalf of foreign investors, an annex providing information on the transaction to the Formal Exchange Market entity involved, together with a letter instructing such entity to deliver the foreign currency or the equivalent amount in pesos, on or before the date the foreign currency is brought or is to be brought into Chile.

 

Repatriation of amounts received with respect to deposited common shares or common shares withdrawn from deposits on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying common shares and any rights arising there from) need be made through the FEM. The FEM entity intervening in the repatriation must provide certain information to the CCB on the following banking business day.

 

Under Chapter XXVI and the FIC, the CCB agreed to grant to the Depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any investor not residing nor domiciled in Chile who acquire shares or replace ADRs for common stock, which we refer to as “Withdrawn Shares”, FEM access to convert Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and to remit those dollars outside Chile including amounts received as: (i) cash dividends; (ii) proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares; (iii) proceeds from the sale in Chile of preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares; (iv) proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of Andina; (v) proceeds resulting from capital decreases or earnings or liquidations; and (vi) other distributions, including those in respect of any re-capitalization resulting from holding shares, ADRs or by Withdrawn Shares.

 

The guarantee of FEM access under the FIC will extend to the participants of the ADR offering if the following requirements are met: (i) that the funds to purchase the shares underlying the ADRs are brought into Chile and converted into Chilean pesos through the FEM; (ii) that the purchase of the underlying shares is made on a Chilean stock exchange; and (iii) that within five business days from the conversion of the funds into Chilean pesos, the CCB is informed that the funds converted were used to purchase the underlying shares, if those funds are not invested in shares within that period, it can access the FEM to reacquire foreign currency, provided that the request is submitted to the CCB within seven banking business days of the initial conversion into pesos.

 

Chapter XXVI provides that FEM access in connection with dividend payments is conditioned to our certifying to the CCB that a dividend payment has been made and that any applicable tax has been withheld. Chapter XXVI also provides that FEM access in connection with the sale of Withdrawn Shares, or distribution thereon, is conditioned upon receipt by the CCB (i) a certificate by the Depositary or custodian, as the case may be, that the shares have been withdrawn in exchange for delivery of the appropriate ADRs, and (ii) a waiver of the benefits of the FIC with respect to ADRs (except in connection with the proposed sale of the shares) until the Withdrawn Shares are re-deposited.

 

FEM access under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic. Pursuant to Chapter XXVI, such access needs the BCC’s approval on a request submitted to that end through a banking institution established in Chile. The FIC provides that if the BCC has not acted upon the request within seven banking days, the request is deemed to have been granted.

 

Under current Chilean law, the BCC cannot unilaterally change the FIC. The Chilean Courts (although not binding on future judicial decisions) also have established that the FIC cannot be annulled by future legislative changes. No assurance can be given, however, that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, to the disposition of underlying shares, or to the repatriation of proceeds from their disposition, will not be imposed in the future; nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of any restrictions that might be imposed. If for whatever reason, including changes in the FIC or Chilean law, the Depositary is prevented from converting Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars, the investors shall receive dividends or other payments in Chilean pesos, which shall subject the investors to exchange rate risks. It cannot be guaranteed that the CFER, as amended, or any other exchange regulation will not be amended in the future, or that if new regulations are enacted that they shall have no material bearing on Andina or the ADR holders.

Table of Contents

 

No assurance can be given that Andina will be able to purchase U.S. dollars in the local exchange market at any time in the future, nor that any such purchase will be for the amounts necessary to pay any sum due under any of its capital or debt instruments. Likewise, it is not possible to guarantee that changes to the regulations of the CCB or other legislative changes relating to exchange controls will not restrict or impair Andina’s ability to purchase U.S. dollars in order to make payment on its debt instruments.

 

E.            TAXATION

 

Tax Considerations Relating to Equity Securities

 

Chilean Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion summarizes the material Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in Andina’s stock or ADRs by an individual who is not domiciled or resident in Chile or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment in Chile (a “foreign holder”). This discussion is based upon Chilean income tax laws presently in force, including Ruling No. 324 of January 29, 1990 of the Servicio de Impuestos Internos (the Chilean Internal Revenue Service or “SII”) and other applicable regulations and rulings that are subject to change without notice. The 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. Each investor or potential investor is encouraged to seek independent tax advice with respect to consequences of investing in Andina’s stock or ADRs.

 

Dividends

 

Dividend distributions to investors who are juridical or natural persons residing or domiciled abroad, are affected by an Additional Tax (“withholding at the source”) at a rate of 35%, with the right to credit for Corporate Tax paid by Andina (today a rate of 27%). However, distributions made to investors residing or domiciled in countries that do not have a treaty to avoid double taxation with Chile, are affected by an additional withholding equivalent to 35% of the Corporate Tax credit, thus limiting the credit for this tax at 65%. This limitation does not apply to distributions made to residents in countries that have a treaty, who can impute 100% of the credit.

 

Distributions made to investors residing or domiciled in Chile are affected by personal taxes (“Supplementary Global Tax”) which has progressive rates ranging from 0% to 35%. The Corporate Tax credit limitation applies to these investors, so they are taxed with a higher tax (“debit”) equivalent to 35% of the credit.

 

Capital Gains

 

Gains recognized from the sale or exchange of ADRs by a foreign holder outside of Chile are not subject to Chilean taxation. Gains recognized on a sale of shares of common stock are subject to both the Corporate Income Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being credited against the latter), unless the stock is sold on the stock market and acquired in a stock exchange or are shares of first issue.

 

The tax basis of shares of common stock received in exchange for ADRs will be determined in accordance with the valuation procedure set forth in the Deposit Agreement, which values shares of common stock at the highest reported sales price at which they trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the withdrawal of the shares of common stock from the Depositary. Consequently, the conversion of ADRs into shares of common stock, and the immediate sale of the shares for the value established under the Deposit Agreement, will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile. However, in the case where the sale of the shares is made on a day that is different than the date in which the exchange is recorded, capital gain subject to taxation in Chile may be generated. In connection thereto, on October 1, 1999 the Chilean Internal Revenue Service issued Ruling No. 3708 whereby it allowed Chilean issuers of ADRs to amend the deposit agreements to which they are parties in order to include a clause that states that, in the case that the exchanged shares are sold by the ADRs’ holders on a Chilean stock exchange either on the same day in which the exchange is recorded or within the two business days prior to such date, 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. As this amendment has been included in the Deposit Agreement, the capital gain that may be generated if the exchange date is different than the date on which the shares received in exchange for ADRs were sold, would not be subject to taxation, to the extent that the SII’s criterion is maintained and the contributor in good faith adopts this criterion, which the contributor must certify to the satisfaction of the authority in case of objection.

 

The distribution and exercise of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Any gain on the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock will be subject to both the Corporate Income Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being credited against the latter).

Table of Contents

 

Other Chilean Taxes

 

No Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes apply to the transfer or disposition of the ADRs by a foreign holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by 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 ADRs or shares of common stock.

 

Withholding Tax Certificates

 

Upon request, we will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of Chilean withholding taxes.

 

United States Tax Considerations Relating to ADRs or Shares of Common Stock.

 

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in Andina’s ADRs or shares of common stock. This discussion is based upon U.S. federal income tax laws presently in force. The discussion is not a full description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase ADRs or shares of common stock. In particular, the discussion is directed only to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold ADRs or shares of common stock as capital assets, and it does not address the tax treatment of holders that are subject to special tax rules under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”), such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships or other pass-through entities, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, persons holding ADRs or shares of common stock as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, holders that own or are deemed to own 10% or more of our shares (by vote or value), persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to ADRs or shares of common stock as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement, persons liable for alternative minimum tax or persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. In addition, the discussion below assumes that the Deposit Agreement, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms. If a partnership holds our ADRs or shares of common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding ADRs or shares of common stock should consult their tax advisors. This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the United States federal income tax consequences to a holder in light of its particular circumstances and does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income or the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws.

 

Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors about the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADRs or shares of common stock.

 

As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial of ADRs or shares of common stock that is (i) an individual U.S. citizen or resident, (ii) a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust that: (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and with respect to which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

If the obligations contemplated by the Deposit Agreement are performed in accordance with its terms, ADR holders generally will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the owners of the shares of common stock represented by those ADRs. Deposits or withdrawals of shares of common stock by U.S. holders in exchange for ADRs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

 

Cash distributions (including the amount of any Chilean taxes withheld) paid to U.S. holders with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock generally will be treated as dividend income to such U.S. holders, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such income will be includable in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary income on the day received by the Depositary, in the case of ADRs, or by the U.S. holder, in the case of shares of common stock. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code. With respect to non-corporate U.S. holders, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on shares (or ADRs backed by such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United

States. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that our ADRs (which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange), but not our shares of common stock, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we do not believe that dividends that we pay on our shares of our common stock that are not represented by ADRs currently meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. There can be no assurance that our ADRs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Non-corporate holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Non-corporate U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given their particular circumstances.

 

Dividends paid in Chilean pesos will be includable in income in a U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate in effect on the day of receipt by the Depositary, in the case of ADRs, or by the U.S. holder, in the case of shares of common stock, regardless of whether the Chilean pesos are converted into U.S. dollars. If the Chilean pesos received as dividends are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder will have a basis in the Chilean pesos equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Chilean pesos will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss, regardless of whether the pesos are converted into U.S. dollars.

 

The Chilean Withholding Tax (net of any credit for the Corporate Income Tax) paid by or for the account of any U.S. holder may be eligible, subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions, for credit against the U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock generally will be foreign source income and will generally constitute passive category income. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, a U.S. holder that (i) has held ADRs or shares of common stock for less than a specified minimum period during which it is not protected from risk of loss or (ii) is obligated to make payments related to the dividends, will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on ADRs or shares of common stock. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

 

Distributions to U.S. holders of additional shares of common stock or preemptive rights with respect to shares of common stock that are made as part of a pro rata distribution to all shareholders of the Company generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

 

To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ADRs or shares of common stock (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized by the investor on a subsequent disposition of the ADRs or shares of common stock), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. Consequently, such distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally would not give rise to foreign source income and a U.S. holder generally would not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Chilean withholding tax imposed on such distributions unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against U.S. taxes due on other foreign source income in the appropriate category for foreign tax credit purposes. However, we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. holder should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend (as discussed above).

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company

 

We do not believe that we are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) and expect to continue our operations in such a manner that we will not be a PFIC. If, however, we are or become a PFIC, U.S. holders could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred by the U.S. holder under the PFIC rules of the U.S. federal income tax laws.

 

Non-corporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us, if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.

 

Capital Gains

 

U.S. holders that hold ADRs or shares of common stock as capital assets will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the sale or other disposition of such ADRs or shares (or preemptive rights with respect to such shares) held by

 

103


Table of Contents

 

the U.S. holder or the Depositary. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Consequently, in the case of a disposition of shares of common stock (which, unlike a disposition of ADRs, may be taxable in Chile), the U.S. holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit for any Chilean tax imposed on the gain unless it can apply (subject to applicable limitations) the credit against tax due on other income from foreign sources.

 

Estate and Gift Taxation

 

As discussed above under “Chilean Tax Considerations — Other Chilean Taxes,” there are no Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes applicable to the transfer or disposition of ADRs by a foreign holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by gift of shares of common stock by a foreign holder. The amount of any inheritance tax paid to Chile may be eligible for credit against the amount of U.S. federal estate tax imposed on the estate of a U.S. holder. U.S. holders should consult their personal tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent they may be entitled to such credit. The Chilean gift tax generally will not be treated as a creditable foreign tax for U.S. tax purposes.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends in respect of ADRs or shares of common stock or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of ADRs or shares of common stock paid within the United States (and in certain cases, outside of the United States) to U.S. holders other than certain exempt recipients. A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fails to report interest and dividends required to be shown on its federal income tax returns. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

ITEM 11.                  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The main sources of systematic risks that the Company is exposed to are: changes in interest rates and changes in currency exchange rates.

 

Particularly, interest rates increase, and currency exchange rates depreciation may affect the Company financial strategy given the various currency denominated debt the company currently holds. To protect the Company against market volatility, hedging policies have been set with the objective to regulate the use of financial derivatives by management. The use of these instruments had been strictly designed for hedging purposes, leaving out any speculation and trading use.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s debt is mainly denominated in UF (local inflation indexed Chilean currency) and U.S. dollar fixed rate bonds. Bank debt represents a smaller proportion of the total debt and it’s denominated in various local currencies in either fixed or variable rates. Given that the main portion of the debt is in fixed rate, the main risk is the interest rate increase at the moment of refinancing mature debt.

 

On the other side, our cash is invested in certain short-term securities mainly in fixed interest rate.

 

The following table provides information about the Company’s debt (bonds & bank debt) and short-term investments that have exposure to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2018.

Foreign Currency Risk

 

As of December 31, 2018, the only foreign currency used by the Company to finance its operation is the U.S dollar, all the rest of the company’s bank and public debt is denominated in local operation currencies (UF, Chilean Peso, Argentinean Peso, Brazilian real and Paraguayan guaranies).

In order to protect the Company from the effects on results due to the volatility of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, we have entered into currency swaps that cover 99% of our dollar-denominated financial obligations, thereby mitigating our exchange rate exposure.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s net exposure to existing assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, discounting our derivatives contracts, was Ch$2,466 million.

Fees and Charges

 

The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the depositary for our ADRs. ADR holders are required to pay various fees to the depositary, and the depositary may refuse to provide any service for which a fee is assessed until the applicable fee has been paid.

 

ADR holders are required to pay the depositary amounts in respect of expenses incurred by the depositary or its agents on behalf of ADR holders, including expenses arising from compliance with applicable law, taxes or other governmental charges, or conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars. The depositary may decide in its sole discretion to seek payment by either billing holders or by deducting the fee from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions.

 

ADR holders are also required to pay additional fees for certain services provided by the depositary, as set forth in the table below.

 

Depositary service

 

Fee payable by ADR holders

Issuance and delivery of ADRs, including in connection with share distributions

 

Up to US$5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof)

Withdrawal of shares underlying ADRs

 

Up to US$5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof)

Registration for the transfer of shares

 

Registration or transfer fees that may from time to time be in effect

Cash distribution fees

 

US$0.02 or less per ADS

 

In addition, holders may be required to pay a fee for the distribution or sale of securities. Such fee (which may be deducted from such proceeds) would be for an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the fee for the issuance of ADRs that would be charged as if the securities were treated as deposited shares and (2) the amount of such proceeds.

 

Fees Incurred in Past Annual Period

 

From January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, we received from the depositary US$88,617 for continuing annual stock exchange listing fees, standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs (consisting of the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls), any applicable performance indicators relating to the ADR facility, underwriting fees and legal fees.

 

Fees to be Paid in the Future

 

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, has agreed to reimburse us for expenses they incur that are related to establishment and maintenance expenses of the ADR program. The depositary has agreed to reimburse us for its continuing annual stock exchange listing fees. The depositary has also agreed to pay the standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs, which consist of the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls. It has also agreed to reimburse us annually for certain investor relationship programs or special investor relations promotional activities. In certain instances, the depositary has agreed to provide additional payments to us based on any applicable performance

indicators relating to the ADR facility. There are limits on the amount of expenses for which the depositary will reimburse us, but the amount of reimbursement available to us is not necessarily tied to the amount of fees the depositary collects from investors.

 

The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADRs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADRs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

ITEM 13.                  DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 14.                  MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

In 1996, our shareholders approved the Reclassification of Capital Stock, which we refer to as the “Reclassification,” of our common stock into two new series of shares. Pursuant to the Reclassification, each outstanding share of our common stock was replaced by one newly issued Series A share and one newly issued Series B share.

 

The Series A and Series B shares are principally differentiated by their voting and economic rights. The modification of our bylaws as of June 25, 2012, increased the number of directors from 7 to 14. The holders of the Series A shares have full voting power and are entitled to elect 12 of 14 members of the board of directors, and the holders of the Series B shares have no voting rights but for the right to elect 2 members of the board of directors. In addition, holders of Series B shares are entitled to a dividend 10% greater than any dividend on Series A shares.

 

After the Reclassification, the Superintendence of Pension Fund Managers (Superintendencia de Administradores de Fondos de Pensiones) decreed that Chilean pension funds would not be permitted to acquire Series B Shares due to their limited voting rights. In 2004, however, the Superintendence reversed, and approved Series B shares as investment instruments for Chilean Pension funds. Series A shares have always been eligible as investment instruments for Chilean pensions funds.

 

ITEM 15.                  CONTROLS AND DISCLOSURE PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the 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 specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a—15(f) and 15d—15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

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 as issued by the IASB. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions or our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, 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 our 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. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Controls—Integrated framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way Commission, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018.

 

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 has been audited by our registered independent accounting firm, which opinion is stated in their report, included on pages F-2 and F-3 herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required under Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16B.         CODE OF ETHICS

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that constitutes a code of ethics for our directors and employees. This Code applies to our Board of Directors, chief executive officer and all senior financial officers of our Company, including the chief financial officer or any other persons performing similar functions, as well as to all other officers and employees of the Company. Our Code of Ethics is available on our website www.koandina.com.

We have adopted pre-approval policies and procedures under which all non-audit services provided by our external auditors must be pre-approved by our Directors’ Committee. Once the proposed service is approved, our subsidiaries or we formalize the engagement of services. In addition, the members of our board of directors are briefed on matters discussed by the Directors’ Committee.

ITEM 16D.         EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

 

Our Audit Committee is comprised of Gonzalo Parot Palma, Salvador Said Somavía and Pilar Lamana Gaete.

 

We disclose that, with respect to the current membership of Mr. Salvador Said Somavía on our Audit Committee, the Company has relied on the exemption from the independence requirements provided by Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(D) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Pursuant to said rule, a member of the Committee who is an affiliate of the foreign private issuer or a representative of such an affiliate that has only observer status on, and is not a voting member or the chair of, the audit committee, and is not an executive officer of the foreign private issuer, may be exempted from the independence requirement.

 

Mr. Salvador Said Somavía meets, for the duration of his membership, the requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(D) because he (i) is a representative of our controlling shareholder group; (ii) has an observer-only status on our Audit Committee; (iii) is not an officer of the Company or any of our subsidiaries; and (iv) does not receive, directly or indirectly, compensation from us or any of our subsidiaries other than in his capacity as member of our Audit Committee.

 

Our reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, with respect to Mr. Salvador Said Somavía, would not materially adversely affect the ability of our Audit Committee to act independently.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “(consolidated) financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated April 24, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We have audited Embotelladora Andina S.A. internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria).

(the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria.

Basis for Opinion

 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

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 (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) 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.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

2.1           Periods covered

 

These Consolidated Financial Statements encompass the following periods:

 

Consolidated Statement of Financial Position: As of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Consolidated Income Statements by Function and Comprehensive Income: For the periods between January 1 and December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity:  Balance and movements between January 1 and December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

 

2.2                     Basis of preparation

 

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter “IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereinafter “IASB”).

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented under the historical cost criteria, although modified by the revaluation of certain financial instruments and derivative instruments.

 

The Company’s 2018 local statutory consolidated financial statements in spanish were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 28, 2019, with subsequent events first being considered through that date. Those local statutory consolidated financial statements consisted of consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 along with consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows (and related disclosures), each for the two years then ended. Those consolidated financial statements were then subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders during its April 17, 2019 meeting.

 

Included in this 2018 consolidated financial statements are consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, along with consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes  in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows (and the related disclosures) for each of the three years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. This three year presentation of operations, changes in equity and of cash flows is required by the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying English language IFRS consolidated financial statements are consistent with the previously issued local statutory consolidated financial statements. This three year English language IFRS consolidated financial statements were approved for issuances by the Board of Directors during a session held on April 24, 2019, with subsequent events considered through this later date.

 

These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared, based on accounting records kept by the Embotelladora Andina S.A. (“Parent Company”) and by other entities forming part thereof.

2.3                              Basis of consolidation

 

2.3.1                    Subsidiaries

 

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the companies controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).  Control is obtained when the Company has power over the investee, when it has exposure or is entitled to variable returns from its involvement in the investee and when it has the ability to use its power to influence the amount of investor returns. They include assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and results of operations for the periods between January 1 and December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows for the periods between January 1 and December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Income or losses from subsidiaries acquired or sold are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition through the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

 

The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of the subsidiary is the fair value of assets transferred, equity securities issued, liabilities incurred or assumed on the date that control is obtained. Identifiable assets acquired, and identifiable liabilities and contingencies assumed in a business combination are accounted for initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. 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 the consideration is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. All acquisition related costs are expensed in the period incurred.

 

Intercompany transactions, balances, income, expenses and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company, where necessary.

 

The interest of non-controlling shareholders is presented in the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of income by function under “Non-Controlling Interest” and “Earnings attributable to non-controlling interests”, respectively.

 

The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and cash flows after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions.

2.3.2                    Investments accounted for under the equity method

 

Associates are all entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

 

The Company’s share in profit or loss in associates subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized in the income statement.

 

Unrealized gains in transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company´s interests in those associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment on the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the associates are changed, where necessary, to ensure conformity with the policies adopted by the Company.

2.4                                Financial reporting by operating segment

 

IFRS 8 requires that entities disclose information on the results of operating segments. In general, this is information that Management and the Board of Directors use internally to assess performance of segments and allocate resources to them. Therefore, the following operating segments have been determined based on geographic location:

 

·                 Chilean operations

·                 Brazilian operations

·                 Argentine operations

·                  Paraguayan operations

 

2.5                                       Functional currency and presentation currency

 

2.5.1                      Functional currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the entities in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of each of the Operations is the following:

 

Company

 

Functional currency

 

 

 

Andina Empaques Argentina

 

Argentine Peso

Embotelladora del Atlántico

 

Argentine Peso

Embotelladora Andina

 

Chilean Peso

Paraguay Refrescos

 

Guaraní

Rio de Janeiro Refrescos

 

Reales

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the foreign exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Losses and gains in foreign currency resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and the translation at the closing exchange rate of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the income statements under foreign exchange rate differences, except when they correspond to cash flow hedges; in which case they are presented in the statement of comprehensive income.

Functional currency in hyperinflationary economies

 

According to the criteria established in the International Accounting Standard No. 29 Financial information in Hyperinflationary Economies, as of July 2018, Argentina’s economy is considered to be hyperinflationary. This determination was carried out on the basis of a series of qualitative and quantitative criteria, among which the presence of an accumulated inflation rate of more than 100% for three years stands out. In accordance with IAS 29, the financial statements of companies in which Embotelladora Andina S.A. participates in Argentina have been retrospectively restated by applying a general price index to the historical cost, in order to reflect the changes in the purchasing power of the Argentinean peso, as of the closing date of these financial statements.

 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities were re-expressed since February 2003, the last date an inflation adjustment was applied for accounting purposes in Argentina. In this context, it should be mentioned that the group made its transition to IFRS on 1 January 2004, applying the attributed cost exemption for Property, plant and equipment.

 

For consolidation purposes in Embotelladora Andina S.A. and as a result of the adoption of IAS 29, the results and financial situation of our subsidiaries in Argentina were converted to the closing exchange rate (AR/CLP) as of December 31, 2018, in accordance with IAS 21 “Effects of foreign currency exchange rate variations”, when dealing with a hyperinflationary economy. Previously, the results of the Argentinean subsidiaries were converted to the average exchange rate of the period, as is the case for the conversion of the results of the rest of the subsidiaries operating in other countries whose economies are not considered hyperinflationary.

 

Whereas the functional and presentation currency of Embotelladora Andina S.A. does not correspond to that of a hyperinflationary economy, according to the guidelines set out in IAS 29, the restatement of comparative periods is not required in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

 

Inflation for the periods January to December 2018 and 2017 amounted to 47.6% and 24.8%, respectively.

 

The first time adoption of IAS 29 resulted in a positive adjustment in the accumulated results of Embotelladora Andina S.A., for Th$79,499,736 (net of taxes) as of January 1, 2018. On the other hand, during 2018, the adoption of this standard generated earnings by the re-expression of balance sheet accounts for Th$8,516,369, which is recognized in the consolidated income statement under “Income by readjustment units”. In addition, since the Argentinean economy was declared as hyperinflationary, a net loss effect was recorded for Th$15,743,592 in the fiscal year’s income, generated by inflation adjustment and translation at the closing exchange rate at December 31, 2018.

2.5.2                    Presentation currency

 

The presentation currency is the Chilean peso, which is the functional currency of the parent company, for such purposes, the financial statements of subsidiaries are translated from the functional currency to the presentation currency as indicated below:

 

a.              Translation of financial statements whose functional currency does not correspond to hyperinflationary economies (Brazil and Paraguay)

 

Financial statements measured as indicated are translated to the presentation currency as follows:

 

·                  The balance sheet is translated to the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date and the income statement is translated at the average monthly exchange rates, the differences that result are recognized in equity under other comprehensive income.

·                  Cash flow income statement are also translated at average exchange rates for each transaction.

·                  When an account receivable from related companies is designated as hedge investment, translation differences are recorded under comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. On disposal of the investment, such translation differences are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on the disposal of the investment.

 

b.              Conversion of financial statements whose functional currency corresponds to hyperinflationary economies (Argentina)

 

Financial statements measured in their functional currency, with inflation adjustments since they correspond to a hyperinflationary economy, are translated to the presentation currency as follows:

 

·                  The balance sheet is translated at the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date;

·                  Results are translated at the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date

·                  When an account receivable from related companies is designated as hedge investment, translation differences are recorded under comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. On disposal of the investment, such translation differences are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on the disposal of the investment.

 

c.               Comparative figures

 

According to the IAS, figures of previous years are not adjusted or re-expressed when the presentation currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy, as is the case of the Chilean peso, thus, financial statements of previous years are not amended.

2.6          Property, plant, and equipment

 

Assets included in Property, plant and equipment are recognized at their historical cost or fair value on the IFRS transition date, less depreciation and cumulative impairment losses.

 

Historical cost of Property, plant and equipment includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items less government subsidies resulting from the difference between the valuation of liabilities at fair value and the government´s preferential credit rates. Historical cost also includes revaluations and price-level restatements of opening balances (attributable cost) at January 1, 2009, in accordance with the exemptions in IFRS 1.

 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items of Property, plant and equipment will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement in the reporting period in which they are incurred.

 

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives.

 

The estimated useful lives by asset category are:

 

Assets

 

Range in years

 

Buildings

 

30-50

 

Plant and equipment

 

10-20

 

Warehouse installations and accessories

 

10-30

 

Furniture and supplies

 

4-5

 

Motor vehicles

 

5-7

 

Other Property, plant and equipment

 

3-8

 

Bottles and containers

 

2-8

 

 

The residual value and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted at the end of each financial statement-reporting period, if appropriate.

 

When the value of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the value is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

 

F-21


Table of Contents

 

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds to the carrying amount and are charged to other expenses by function or other gains, as appropriate.

 

If there are items available for sale and comply with the conditions of IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” are separated from Property, plant and equipment and are presented within current assets at the lower value between the book value and its fair value less selling costs.

 

2.7            Intangible assets and Goodwill

 

2.7.1                             Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary on the acquisition date. Since goodwill is an intangible asset with indefinite useful life, it is recognized separately and tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to that entity.

 

Goodwill is assigned to each cash generating unit (CGU) or group of cash-generating units, from where it is expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. Such CGUs or groups of CGUs represent the lowest level in the organization at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

 

2.7.2         Distribution rights

 

Distribution rights are contractual rights to produce and/or distribute products under the Coca-Cola brand and other brands in certain territories in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay that were acquired during Business Combination. Distribution rights are born from the process of valuation at fair value of the assets and liabilities of companies acquired in business combinations. Distribution rights have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized, as the Company believes that the agreements will be renewed indefinitely by the Coca-Cola Company with similar terms and conditions. They are subject to impairment tests on an annual basis.

 

2.7.3                              Software

 

Carrying amounts correspond to internal and external software development costs, which are capitalized once the recognition criteria in IAS 38, Intangible Assets, have been met. Software is amortized in administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement over a period of four years.

 

F-22


Table of Contents

 

2.8          Impairments of non-financial assets

 

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as intangibles related to distribution rights and goodwill, are not amortized and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are tested for impairment whenever there is an event or change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or its value in use.

 

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

 

2.9          Financial assets

 

Pursuant to IFRS 9, except for certain trade accounts receivable, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs, in the case of a financial asset that is not at fair value, reflecting changes in P&L.

 

According to IFRS 9, financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in P&L (FVPL), amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is based on two criteria: The Group’s business model for managing assets; and if the contractual cash flows of financial instruments represent “solely payments of principal and interest” on the outstanding principal amount (the “SPPI criterion”).

 

The new classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets is as follows:

 

·                  Financial asset at amortized cost for financial instruments that are maintained within a business model with the objective of maintaining the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. This category includes the Group’s trade and other accounts receivable.

 

·                  Financial assets measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (FVOCI), with gains or losses recognized in P&L at the time of liquidation. Financial assets in this category correspond to the Group’s instruments that meet the SPPI criterion and are kept within a business model both to collect cash flows and to sell.

 

F-23


Table of Contents

 

Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measures as follows:

 

·                  Equity instruments at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (FVOCI) without recognizing earnings or losses in P&L at the time of liquidation. This category only includes equity instruments that the Group intends to keep in the foreseeable future and that the Group has irrevocably chosen to classify in this category in the initial recognition or transition.

 

·                  Financial assets at fair value with changes in P&L (FVPL) include derivative instruments and equity instruments quoted that the Group had not irrevocably chosen to classify at FVOCI in the initial recognition or transition. This category also includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics do not comply with the SPPI criterion or are not kept within a business model whose objective is to recognize contractual cash flows or sale.

 

The Group’s financial liabilities accounting, to a large extent continues to be same as the one set forth in IAS 39. Similar to the requirements of IAS 39, IFRS 9 requires that assets for contingent services be treated as financial instruments measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in P&L.

 

Pursuant to IFRS 9, implicit derivatives are no longer separated from a principal financial asset. Financial assets, however, are classified according to contractual terms and the Group’s business model.

 

2.10           Derivatives financial instruments and hedging activities

 

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to mitigate risks relating to changes in foreign currency and exchange rates associated with raw materials, and loan obligations.

 

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

 

2.10.1        Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges

 

At the inception of the transaction, the group documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement within “other gains (losses)”.

 

F-24


Table of Contents

 

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example, when foreign currency denominated financial liabilities are translated into their functional currencies). The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of cross currency swaps hedging the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated income statement within “foreign exchange differences.”  When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the consolidated income statement.

 

2.10.2        Derivative financial instruments not designated for hedging

 

The fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting pursuant to IFRS are immediately recognized in the consolidated income statement under “Other income and losses”.  The fair value of these derivatives is recorded under “other current financial assets” or “other current financial liabilities” in the statement of financial position.”

 

The Company does not use hedge accounting for its foreign investments.

 

The Company also evaluates the existence of derivatives implicitly in contracts and financial instruments as stipulated by IFRS 9 and classifies them pursuant to their contractual terms and the business model of the group. As of December 31, 2018 and  2017, the Company had no implicit derivatives.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

The Company maintains assets related to foreign currency derivative contracts which were classified as Other current and non-current financial assets and Other current and non-current financial liabilities, respectively, and are accounted at fair value within the statement of financial position. The Company uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments with assessment techniques:

 

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data information.

 

During the reporting periods there were no transfers of items between fair value measurement categories. All of which were valued during the period using Level 2.

 

F-25


Table of Contents

 

2.11                                Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and manufacturing overhead (based on operating capacity) to bring the goods to marketable condition, but it excludes interest expense. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Spare parts and production materials are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Estimates are also made for obsolescence of raw materials and finished products based on turnover and age of the related goods.

 

2.12                                Trade receivables

 

Trade accounts receivables and other accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less an allowance for expected credit losses, given their short-term nature. An allowance for expected credit losses is made when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect the full amount according to the original terms of the receivable. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by the allowance for expected credit losses amount and the loss is recognized in administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement by function.

 

2.13                                Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank balances, time deposits and other short-term highly liquid and low risk of change in value investments and mutual funds with original short-term maturities equal to or less than three months.

 

2.14                                Other financial liabilities

 

Resources obtained from financial institutions as well as the issuance of debt securities are initially recognized at fair value, net of costs incurred during the transaction. Then, liabilities are valued by accruing interests in order to equal the current value with the future value of liabilities payable, using the effective interest rate method.

 

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets, considered as those that require a substantial period of time in order to get ready for their forecasted use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until the period in which the assets are substantially ready to be used or sold.

 

2.15                                Income tax

 

The Company and its subsidiaries in Chile account for income tax according to the net taxable income calculated based on the rules in the Income Tax Law. Subsidiaries in other countries account for income taxes according to the tax regulations of the country in which they operate.

 

F-26


Table of Contents

 

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements, using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

 

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The Company does not recognize deferred income taxes for temporary differences from investments in subsidiaries in which the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not be reversed in the near future.

 

2.16                                Employee benefits

 

The Company has a provision to cover indemnities for years of service that will be paid to employees in accordance with individual and collective agreements subscribed with employees, which is recorded at actuarial value in accordance with IAS 19.

 

Results from updated of actuarial variables are recorded within other comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 19.

 

Additionally, the Company has retention plans for some officers, which have a provision pursuant to the guidelines of each plan. These plans grant the right to certain officers to receive a cash payment on a certain date once they have fulfilled with the required years of service.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have recorded a provision to account for the cost of vacations and other employee benefits on an accrual basis. These liabilities are recorded under current non-financial liabilities.

 

2.17                                Provisions

 

Provisions for litigation and other contingencies are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.

 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

 

2.18           Leases

 

a)        Operating leases

 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

F-27


Table of Contents

 

b)        Finance leases

 

Leases of Property, plant and equipment where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases that are capitalized at the inception of the lease of the item of Property, plant and equipment at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

 

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The interest element is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

 

2.19           Deposits for returnable containers

 

This liability comprises cash collateral, or deposit, received from customers for bottles and other returnable containers made available to them.

 

This liability pertains to the deposit amount that is reimbursed when the customer or distributor returns the bottles and containers in good condition, together with the original invoice. The liability is estimated based on the number of bottles given to clients and distributors, the estimated number of bottles in circulation, and a historical average weighted value per bottle or containers.

 

Deposits for returnable containers are presented as a current liability in other financial liabilities because the Company does not have legal rights to defer settlement for a period in excess of one year. However, the Company does not anticipate any material cash settlements for such amounts during the upcoming year.

 

2.20                                Revenue recognition

 

Pursuant to IFRS 15, adopted by the Company for its consolidated financial statements as of the effective date January 1, 2018, the only performance obligation identified by the Company is the sale of finished products, which also incorporate the sale of the service of deliver the product to the final customer. The performance obligation is satisfied with the physical delivery of products to customers and no kind of contract exists granting additional rights to clients that can be unilaterally enforced.

 

Revenues from regular activities include fair value of the consideration received or to be received for goods sold during the regular course of the Company’s activities. These revenues are transferred and are presented net of VAT, reimbursements, deductions and discounts.

 

The Company recognizes said Revenues when they can be reliably valued, and when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company.

 

For previous periods, the Company applied the revenue recognition policy based on the requirements of IAS 18.

2.21        Contributions of The Coca-Cola Company

 

The Company receives certain discretionary contributions from The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) mainly related to the financing of advertising and promotional programs for its products in the territories where the Company has distribution licenses. The contribution received from TCCC are recognized in net income after the conditions agreed with TCCC in order to become a creditor to such incentive have been fulfilled, they are recorded as a reduction in the marketing expenses included in the Administration Expenses account. Given its discretionary nature, the portion of contributions received in one period does not imply it will be repeated in the following period.

 

2.22                                Dividend payments

 

Dividend distribution to Company shareholders is recorded as a liability in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, considering the 30% minimum dividend of the period’s earnings established by Chilean Corporate Law.

 

2.23                       Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

The Company makes estimates and judgments concerning the future. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts. The estimates and judgments that might have a material impact on future financial statements.

 

2.23.1 Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives

 

The Company test annually whether goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life (such as distribution rights) have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units are generating units are determined based on value in use calculations. The key variables used in the calculations include sales volumes and prices, discount rates, marketing expenses and other economic factors including inflation. The estimation of these variables requires a use of estimates and judgments as they are subject to inherent uncertainties; however, the assumptions are consistent with the Company’s internal planning end past results. Therefore, management evaluates, and updates estimates according to the conditions affecting the variables. If these assets are considered to have been impaired, they will be written off at their estimated fair value or future recovery value according to the discounted cash flows analysis. Discounted cash flows in the Company’s cash generating units in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay generated a higher value than the carrying values of the respective net assets, including goodwill of the Brazilian, Argentinian and Paraguayan subsidiaries.

 

2.23.2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

IFRS requires in certain cases that assets and liabilities be recorded at their fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction ordered between market participants at the date of measurement.

 

The basis for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value are their current prices in an active market. For those that are not traded in an active market, the Company determines fair value based on the best information available by using valuation techniques.

 

F-29


Table of Contents

 

In the case of the valuation of intangibles recognized as a result of acquisitions from business combinations, the Company estimates the fair value based on the “multi-period excess earning method”, which involves the estimation of future cash flows generated by the intangible assets, adjusted by cash flows that do not come from these, but from other assets. The Company also applies estimations over the period during which the intangible assets will generate cash flows, cash flows from other assets, and a discount rate.

 

Other assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are carried at fair value using valuation methods that are considered appropriate under the circumstances. Assumptions include the depreciated cost of recovery and recent transaction values for comparable assets, among others. These valuation techniques require certain inputs to be estimated, including the estimation of future cash flows.

 

2.23.3       Allowances for expected credit losses

 

The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables using several factors. When the Company becomes aware of a specific inability of a customer to fulfill its financial commitments, a specific allowance for expected credit losses is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the amount that the Company estimates to be able to collect. In addition to specific provisions, allowances for expected credit losses are also determined based on the restated valued of expected credit losses pursuant to IFRS 9.

 

2.23.4       Useful life, residual value and impairment of property, plant, and equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of those assets. Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances, changes to the Company’s business model, or changes in its capital strategy might modify the effective useful lives as compared to our estimates. Whenever the Company determines that the useful life of Property, plant and equipment might be shortened, it depreciates the excess between the net book value and the estimated recoverable amount according to the revised remaining useful life. Factors such as changes in the planned usage of manufacturing equipment, dispensers, transportation equipment and computer software could make the useful lives of assets shorter. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of those assets may not be recovered. The estimate of future cash flows is based, among other factors, on certain assumptions about the expected operating profits in the future. The Company’s estimation of discounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows because of, among other reasons, technological changes, economic conditions, changes in the business model, or changes in operating profit. If the sum of the projected discounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset shall be written-off to its estimated recoverable value.

 

2.23.5       Liabilities for deposits of returnable container

 

The Company records a liability for deposits received in exchange for bottles and containers provided to its customers and distributors. This liability represents the amount of deposits that must be reimbursed if the customer or distributor returns the bottles and containers in good condition, together with the original invoice. This liability is estimated based on the number of bottles given on loan to customers and distributors, estimates of bottles in circulation and the weighted average historical cost per bottle or container. Management makes several assumptions in order to estimate this liability, including the number of bottles in circulation, the amount of deposit that must be reimbursed and the timing of disbursements.

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

 

The final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was issued in July 2014, incorporating all the phases of the IASB project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, this standard includes new requirements based on classification, measurement, impairment and hedge accounting principles, it introduces a “more prospective” model for expected credit losses for impairment accounting and a significantly reformed focus for hedge accounting. The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the accounting policies of the Company in terms of classification and measurement of financial assets and related profit or loss accounts.

 

For classification, measurement and accounting for hedges, no significant changes were determined. Therefore, no significant adjustments from the adoption of IFRS 9 were recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in relation to the classification, measurement and accounting for hedges.

 

In relation to the analysis carried out by the Company to determine the impact of the new expected credit loss model of financial assets to calculate the provisions that should be registered. as of January 1, 2018, the effect of adopting the standard within the retained earnings was not significant because most of the accounts receivable are characterized by recovering in the short term, which results in estimates of expected credit loss that approximates the previous provisions for doubtful accounts under IAS 39.

 

IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

 

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is a joint project with FASB to eliminate differences upon revenue recognition between IFRS and US GAAP, which was issued in May 2014, it is applicable to all customer contracts, it replaces IAS 11 construction contracts, IAS 18 revenues and related interpretations, and applies to all revenues arising from customer contracts, unless such contracts are within the scope of other standards. The new standard establishes a five-step model for accounting for revenues from contracts with customers, this model will facilitate the comparability of companies from different industries and regions. According to IFRS 15, revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transfer of control of goods or the provision of services to a customer.

 

F-31


Table of Contents

 

The standard requires that the entities apply more judgment, taking into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to the contracts with its customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for incremental costs arising from obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to the fulfillment of a contract.

 

With regards to the reporting segment of Embotelladora Andina, revenue channels are mainly related to the sale of finished product and the delivery of promotional products, which are currently being recognized in the statement of income when the Company transfers these products to the customers. These revenue channels are supported by contracts with different retailers through traditional and modern channels, in which prices with such customers are constantly negotiated due to the high turnover of the Company’s products and in order to remain competitive in the market.

 

For the transition, the Company applied the modified retrospective method by determining the cumulative effect as of the date of the standard adoption on the consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 2017 and prior periods. In this manner, the prior periods financial statements were not restated, concluding the impacts of adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

IFRIC Interpretation 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advanced Considerations”

 

The Interpretation addresses the way to determine the date of the transaction in order to establish the exchange rate to be used on the initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or the corresponding part of these) in the de-recognition of accounts of a non-monetary asset or liability arising from a payment or collection of advanced consideration in foreign currency, for this purpose the date of the transaction corresponds to the moment in which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or liability arising from the payment or collection of the advanced consideration.  If there are multiple advanced payments or collections, the entity shall determine a transaction date for each advanced consideration payment or collection.

 

The adoption of the aforementioned standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

IAS 28 “Investments in associates and joint ventures - decision to measure participation in associates and joint ventures at fair value with changes in results

 

The amendment clarifies that an entity that is a venture capital organization, or another qualifying entity, can choose in the initial recognition to assess its investments in associates and joint ventures at fair value with changes in results. If an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, it may choose to keep the measurement at fair value applied by its associate. The amendment must be applied retrospectively.

 

The adoption of the aforementioned standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

IFRS 16 “Leases”

 

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases.

 

IFRS 16 sets the definition of a lease agreement and specifies the accounting treatment of assets and liabilities arising from these contracts from the point of view of the lessor and lessee. The new standard does not differ significantly from the preceding standard, IAS 17 Leases, regarding accounting treatment from the point of view of the lessor. However, from the point of view of the lessee, the new standard requires the recognition of assets and liabilities for most of leasing contracts. IFRS 16 will be mandatory for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted if adopted together with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

The Company has assessed the impacts of the implementation of the new standard and has estimated an increase of its assets by approximately 1.0 %, and an increase of its liabilities of approximately 1.6 %. The impact of the adoption will generate a reduction of equity of approximately 0.6 %.

 

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”

 

In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23, clarifying the application of recognition and measurement criteria required by IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty about the tax treatments. This interpretation shall be applied for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2019.

 

The Company has yet to complete its evaluation of whether this interpretation will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Revised Conceptual Framework

 

The IASB issued a Revised Conceptual Framework in March 2018, incorporating some new concepts, providing updated definitions and recognition criterion for assets and liabilities and clarifying some important concepts.

Changes in the Conceptual Framework may affect the application of IFRS when no standard applies to a given transaction or event. The Revised Conceptual Framework becomes effective for periods ending on or after January 1, 2020.

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

 

The amendments clarify that when an entity gets control of an entity that is a joint venture, the requirements for a phased business combination are applicable, including the interests previously held on the assets and liabilities of a joint venture presented at fair value. The amendments must apply to business combinations made after January 1, 2019. Early application is allowed.

 

The entity will perform an assessment of the impact of the improvement once it becomes effective.

 

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments — Payments with negative compensation”

 

A debt instrument can be measured at amortized cost, cost or at fair value through another comprehensive result, provided that the contractual cash flows are only principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal capital and the instrument is carried out within the business model for that classification. Amendments to IFRS 9 aim to clarify that a financial asset meets the criterion of only principal plus interest payments regardless of the event or circumstance that causes the anticipated termination of the contract or of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract.

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 shall apply when prepayment is approximate to unpaid capital and interest amounts in such a way as to reflect the change in reference interest rate. This implies that prepayments at fair value or for an amount including the fair value of the cost of an associated hedging instrument will normally satisfy the criterion only principal payments plus interest only if other elements of the change in fair value, such as the effects of credit risk or liquidity are not representative. Application begins January 1, 2019 and will be retrospectively performed with early adoption allowed.

 

The Company will assess the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”

 

The amendment affects joint arrangements on interests previously held in a joint operation. A participating party, but that does not have the joint control of a joint operation could gain control if the joint operation activity constitutes a business as defined by IFRS 3. The amendments clarify that the interests previously maintained in that joint operation are not re-measured at the time of the operation. The amendments shall apply to transactions in which the joint control is acquired after January 1, 2019. Early application is allowed.

 

The Company will assess the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

 

IAS 12 “Income Taxes”

 

The amendments clarify that the income tax on dividends generated by financial instruments classified as equity are more directly linked to past transactions or events that generated distribution of profits than distribution to the owners. Therefore, an entity recognizes income tax on dividends in results, other comprehensive income or equity, according to where the entity originally recognized those transactions or past events. The amendments shall apply to dividends recognized after January 1, 2019.

 

The Company will assess the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

 

IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”

 

The amendments clarify that an entity treats any indebtedness originally made to develop a qualified asset as a general loan when substantially all the activities necessary to culminate that asset for use or sale are complete. Amendments should be applied beginning January 1, 2019.

 

The Company will assess the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

 

IAS 28 Investments in Associates

 

The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for long-term investments in associates or joint ventures for those investments that do not apply the equity method but which, in substance, is part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture. This clarification is relevant because it implies that the expected credit loss model, described in IFRS 9, applies to these long-term interests. Entities should apply the amendments retrospectively, with certain exceptions, and shall become effective beginning January 1, 2019. Early application is allowed.

 

The Company will assess the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

IAS 19   Employee Benefits — Amendment, reduction or liquidation of the plan

 

Amendments to IAS 19 address accounting when the plan is amended, reduced or liquidated during a reporting period.

 

The amendments specify that when a plan has been amended, reduced or liquidated during the annual reporting period, the entity must:

 

·                  Determine the current cost of services for the remainder of the period following the amendment, reduction or liquidation of the plan, using the actuarial assumptions used to re-measure the liability (asset) for net defined benefits, reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the assets of the plan after that event.

·                  Determine the net interest for the remainder of the period after the amendment, reduction or liquidation of the plan using: net liabilities (assets), for defined benefits that reflect the benefits offered under the plan and the assets of the plan after that event; and the discount rate used to re-measure net liabilities (assets) for defined benefits.

 

The amendments clarify that an entity first determines any past service costs, or a gain or loss in liquidation, without considering the asset ceiling effect. This amount is recognized under income. An entity then determines the asset ceiling effect after the plan is amended, reduced, or liquidated. Any change in that effect, excluding the amounts included in net interest, is recognized under other comprehensive income.

 

This clarification states that entities may have to recognize a past service cost, or a result in liquidation that reduces a surplus that was not recognized before. Changes to the asset ceiling effect are not offset by those amounts.

 

The amendments apply to amendments, reductions or liquidations of the plan occurring at or after the commencement of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted, which must be disclosed.

 

The entity will evaluate the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

 

IFRS 3 Business Combinations — Defining business

 

The IASB issued amendments regarding the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, to help entities determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business or not. The IASB clarifies the minimum requirements for defining a business, eliminates the assessment as to whether market participants are able to replace any missing items, includes guidance to help entities evaluate whether a process acquired is substantial, reduces the definitions of a business and products and introduces an optional fair value concentration test.

 

The amendments must apply to business combinations or asset acquisitions occurring on or after the commencement of the first annual reporting period commencing on or after January 1, 2020. Consequently, entities do not have to revise those transactions that occurred in previous periods. Early adoption is permitted and must be disclosed.

 

F-36


Table of Contents

 

Given that amendments are prospectively applied to transactions or other events occurring on or after the date of first application, most entities will probably not be affected by these amendments in the transition. However, those entities that consider acquiring a set of activities and assets after applying the amendments must first of all update their accounting policies in a timely manner.

 

The amendments could also be relevant in other areas of IFRS (for example, that may be relevant when a controller loses control of a subsidiary and has early adopted the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or business combination) (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28).

 

The entity will carry out an assessment of the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

 

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors- Definition of material

 

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, to align the definition of “material” in all standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. The new definition states that information is material if omitting it, erroneously declaring it, or hiding it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that primary users of general-purpose financial statements take based on those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.

 

The amendments must be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted and must be disclosed.

 

Although amendments to the definition of material are not expected to have a significant impact on an entity’s financial statements, the introduction of the term “hide” in the definition could impact the way in which materiality judgments are made in the practice, elevating the importance of how information is communicated and organized in the financial statements.

 

The entity will carry out an assessment of the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

 

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures — sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture

 

The amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) address a recognized inconsistency between the requirements of 10 IFRS and IAS 28 (2011) in the treatment of the contribution or sale of assets between an investor and the associate or joint venture. Amendments, issued in September of 2014, established that when the transaction involves a business (both in a subsidiary or not) it recognizes all profit or loss generated. A partial gain or loss is recognized when the transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even when the assets are in a subsidiary. The date of mandatory application of these amendments is to be determined since IASB is waiting for the results of its research project on accounting using the equity method. These amendments must be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted, which must be disclosed.

 

The Company will assess the impact of the amendment once it becomes effective.

NOTE 9 — CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

 

9.1 Tax Reform

 

On September 29, 2014, the Official Daily Newspaper published Law N°20,780 that amends the Chilean tax regime, with the main following changes:

 

·                  It establishes a new system of semi-integrated taxation, which can be used as an alternative to the integrated regime of attributed income. Taxpayers may opt freely to any of the two to pay their taxes. In the case of Embotelladora Andina S.A. by a general rule established by law the semi-integrated taxation system applies, which was ratified by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

·                  The semi-integrated system establishes the gradual increase in the first category tax rate for the business years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 onwards, increasing to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, 25.5% and 27% respectively.

(1)         Correspond to the contractual rights to produce and distribute Coca-Cola products in certain parts of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. Distribution rights result from the valuation process at fair value of the assets and liabilities of the companies acquired in business combinations. Production and distribution contracts are renewable for periods of 5 years with Coca-Cola. The nature of the business and renewals that Coca-Cola has permanently done on these rights, allow qualifying them as indefinite contracts. These production and distribution rights, and in conjunction with the assets that are part of the cash-generating units, are annually subjected to the impairment test. Such distribution rights are composed in the following manner and are not subject to amortization: except for the Monster rights that are amortized in the term of the agreement which is 4 years.

14.2        Goodwill

 

Goodwill is considered as the excess acquisition cost over fair value of the group´s ownership interest in identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the acquisition date.

 

14.2.1    Measurement of recoverable goodwill value

 

Goodwill is annually reviewed but its recoverable value is checked during anticipated periods, if there are facts indicating a possible impairment. These signs may include new legal dispositions, changes in the economic environment affecting business operating performance indicators, movements in the competition, or the sale of a significant part of the cash-generating unit (CGU).

 

Management reviews business performance based on geographic segments. Goodwill is monitored by operating segment that includes different cash generating units of the operations in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Impairment of distribution rights is geographically monitored at the CGU or group of cash generating units that correspond to specific territories for which Coca-Cola distribution rights have been acquired. These cash generating units or groups of cash generating units are composed by:

 

·                  Regions in Chile (excluding Metropolitan Region, province of Rancagua and province of San Antonio)

·                  Argentina North

·                  Argentina South

·                  Brazil (state of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo)

·                  Brazil (Ipiranga territories)

·                  Brazil: (investment in the associate Sorocaba)

·                  Brazil: (investment in the associate Leão Alimentos S.A.)

·                  Paraguay

 

In order to check if goodwill has suffered an impairment loss, the company compares its book value with its recoverable value, and an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the book value amount of the asset over its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable values of the CGU, management considers the discounted cash flow method as the most appropriate method.

 

14.2.2              Main assumptions used in the annual test:

 

a.         Discount rate:

 

The real discount rate applied in the annual test carried out in December 2018 was estimated with the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which allows estimating a discount rate according to the risk level of the CGU in the country where it operates. A nominal discount rate before taxes is used according to the following table:

Management carries out the annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 of each year for each CGU.

b.                  Other assumptions

 

Financial projections to determine the present net value of future cash flows of the CGU are modelled based on the main historical variables , and the respective budgets approved by the CGU. In this sense, a conservative growth rate is used, which reach 3% for the soft drinks category and up to 7% for the less developed categories such as juices and water. Perpetuity growth rates between 1% and 2.5% are established by operation depending on the level of consumption maturity of the products at each operation are set beyond the fifth year of projection. In this sense, the variables of greater sensitivity in these projections correspond to discount rates applied in order to determine the net present value of projected flows, perpetuity growths and EBITDA margin considered in each CGU.

 

For purposes of sensitizing the impairment test, variations were made to the main variables used in the model. Following we present the ranges used for each of the modified variables:

 

·                                          Discount rate: Increase/decrease of up to 100bps as value in the rate with which the future flows are discounted to bring them to present value

·                                          Perpetuity: Increase/decrease of up to 75bps in the rate to calculate the perpetual growth of future flows

·                                          EBITDA margin: Increase/decrease of 100bps in the EBITDA margin of operations, which is applied per year for the projected periods, i.e. for the years 2019-2023

 

14.2.3              Conclusions

 

As a result of the annual test for 2018, no impairments have been identified in any of the CGUs assuming conservative EBITDA margin projections and in line with the markets’ history.  As of December 31, 2018, there have been no signs of impairment.

 

Despite the deterioration of the macroeconomic conditions experienced by the economies of the countries where the cash generating units develop their operations, recovery values from the impairment test were higher than the book values of assets.

Series B was issued with charge to the bonds line registered with the Securities Registered under number 254 dated September 13, 2001.

 

Regarding Series B, the Issuer is subject to the following restrictions:

 

·             Maintain an indebtedness level where Consolidated Financial Liabilities to Consolidated Equity does not exceed 1.20 times. For these purposes Consolidated Financial Liabilities shall be regarded as Liabilities Receivables accruing interest, namely: (i) other current financial liabilities, plus (ii) other non-current financial liabilities, less (iii) asset balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate or interest rate risks on financial liabilities under “Other Current Financial Assets” and “Other non-current Financial Assets” of the Issuer’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Consolidated Equity will be regarded as total equity including non-controlling interest.

 

As of December 31, 2018, indebtedness level is 0.78 times of Consolidated Equity.

 

·             Maintain, and in no manner lose, sell, assign or transfer to a third party, the geographical area currently denominated as the “Metropolitan Region” (Región Metropolitana) as a territory in Chile in which we have been authorized by The Coca-Cola Company for the development, production, sale and distribution of products and brands of the licensor, in accordance to the respective bottler or license agreement, renewable from time to time.

 

·             Not lose, sell, assign, or transfer to a third party any other territory of Argentina or Brazil, which as of this date is franchised by TCCC to the Company for the development, production, sale and distribution of products and brands of such licensor, as long as any of these territories account for more than 40% of the Issuer’s Adjusted Consolidated Operating Cash Flow.

 

·             Maintain consolidated assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other encumbrances for an amount at least equal to 1.3 times of the issuer’s unsecured consolidated liabilities.

 

Unsecured consolidated liabilities payable shall be regarded as the total liabilities, obligations and debts of the issuer that are not secured by real guarantees on goods and assets of the latter, voluntarily and conventionally constituted by the issuer less the asset balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate or interest rate risks on financial liabilities under “Other Current Financial Assets” and “Other non-current Financial Assets” of the Issuer’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

The following will be considered in determining Consolidated Assets:  assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien, as well as those assets having a pledge, mortgage or real encumbrances that operate solely by law, less asset balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to hedge exchange rate or interest rate risks on financial liabilities under “Other Current Financial Assets” and “Other non-current Financial Assets” of the Issuer’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Therefore, Consolidated Assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien will only be regarded as those assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other real lien voluntarily and conventionally constituted by the issuer less asset balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate or interest rate risks on financial liabilities and under “Other Current Financial Assets” and “Other non-current Financial Assets” of the Issuer’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

As of December 31, 2018, this index is 1.66 times.

Regarding Series C, the Issuer is subject to the following restrictions:

 

·             Maintain a level of “Net Financial Debt” within its quarterly financial statements that may not exceed 1.5 times, measured over figures included in its consolidated statement of financial position. To this end, net financial debt shall be defined as the ratio between net financial debt and total equity of the issuer (equity attributable to controlling owners plus non-controlling interest). On its part, net financial debt will be the difference between the Issuer’s financial debt and cash.

 

As of December 31, 2018, Net Financial Debt was 0.62 times.

 

·             Maintain consolidated assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other encumbrances for an amount at least equal to 1.3 times of the issuer’s unsecured consolidated liabilities.

 

Unencumbered assets refer to the assets that meet the following conditions: are the property of the issuer; classified under Total Assets of the Issuer’s Financial Statements; and that are free of any pledge, mortgage or other liens constituted in favor of third parties, less “Other Current Financial Assets” and “Other Non-Current Financial Assets” of the Issuer’s Financial Statements (to the extent they correspond to asset balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to hedge exchange rate and interest rate risk of the financial liabilities).

 

Unsecured total liabilities correspond to: liabilities from Total Current Liabilities and Total Non-Current Liabilities of Issuer’s Financial Statement which do not benefit from preferences or privileges, less “Other Current Financial Assets” and “Other Non-Current Financial Assets” of the Issuer’s Financial Statements (to the extent they correspond to asset balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to hedge exchange rate and interest rate risk of the financial liabilities).

 

As of December 31, 2018, this index is 1.66 times.

 

·             Maintain a level of “Financial net coverage” in its quarterly financial statements of more than 3 times. Net financial coverage means the ratio between the Issuer’s Ebitda for the past 12 months and net financial expenses (financial income less financial expenses) of the issuer for the past 12 months. However, this restriction will be considered breached when the mentioned net financial coverage level is lower than the level previously indicated during two consecutive quarters.

 

As of December 31, 2018, Net Financial Coverage level is 6.08 times.

NOTE 20 —   DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

Embotelladora Andina currently maintains “Cross Currency Swaps” and “Currency Forward” agreements as Derivative Financial Assets.

 

Cross Currency Swaps, also known as interest rate and currency swaps, are valued by the method of discounted future cash flows at a rate corresponding to the risk of the operation. The basis of the information used in the calculations is obtained in the market by using the Bloomberg terminal. Currently Embotelladora Andina maintains Cross Currency Swap for BRL/USD, for which it is necessary to discount future cash flows in Brazilian Reais and in U.S. Dollars. For this calculation, the Company uses as discount curves, the Brazilian Real Zero-Coupon and the U.S. Dollar Zero-Coupon.

 

On the other hand, the fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated in reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. To perform the above calculation, the Company uses market information available on the Bloomberg terminal.

 

As of the closing dates as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held the following derivative instruments:

 

F-93


Table of Contents

 

20.1                Derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges:

 

a)     Cross Currency Swaps associated with US Bonds

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company entered into cross currency swap derivative contracts to convert US Dollar public bond obligations of US$360 million into Real liabilities to hedge the Company’s exposure to variations in foreign exchange rates. Said contracts are valued at their value and the net value to be received as of December 31, 2018 amounted to ThCh$87,446,662. These swap contracts have the same terms of the underlying bond obligation and expire in 2023. Additionally, the fair value of these derivatives which is lower than the hedged items amounted to ThCh$14,089,111 and has been recognized within other equity reserves as of December 31, 2018. The ineffective portion for ThCh$2,07,802 in losses associated with this hedge was recorded in other gains and losses as of December 31, 2018.

 

The amount of exchange differences recognized in the statement of income related to financial liabilities in U.S. dollars and the identified effective portion that was absorbed by the amounts recognized under comprehensive income amounted to ThCh$25,302,080 as of  December 31, 2018.

 

20.2. Forward currency transactions expected to be very likely:

 

During 2018 and 2017, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to expected future raw materials purchases in US Dollars during these years. The total amount of outstanding forward contracts was US$56.8 million as of December 31, 2018 (US$62.8 million as of December 31, 2017). These agreements were recorded at fair value, resulting in net earnings due to hedge recycling of ThCh$7,583,354 for the period ended December 31, 2018, and hedge asset and liabilities of ThCh$669,527 and ThCh$130,829, respectively. Contracts that ensure future flows of foreign currency have been designated as hedge agreements, as of December 31, 2018 with a pending amounted to be recycled to income in the amount of ThCh$397,151.

 

Futures contracts that ensure prices of future raw materials have not been designated as hedge agreements, since they do not fulfill IFRS documentation requirements, whereby its effects on variations in fair value are accounted for directly under statements of income in the “other gains and losses” account.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

As of  December 31, 2018, the Company had total assets related to its foreign exchange derivative contracts for ThCh$88,116,189 (ThCh$62,367,852  as of December 31, 2017) and liabilities for ThCh$130,829 as of December 31, 2018 (ThCh$445,278  as of December 31, 2017). Those contracts covering existing items have been classified in the same category of hedged, the net amount of derivative contracts by concepts covering forecasted items have been classified in financial assets and financial liabilities. All the derivative contracts are carried at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

 

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

Level 3: Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

During the reporting period, there were no transfers of items between fair value measurement categories; all of which were valued during the period using level 2.

NOTE 21 —   CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

 

21.1                                                              Lawsuits and other legal actions:

 

In the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries do not face judicial or extra-judicial contingencies that might result in material or significant losses or gains, except for the following:

 

1)        Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. faces labor, tax, civil and trade lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of a probable loss because of these lawsuits, totaling ThCh$948,042. Management considers it unlikely that non-provisioned contingencies will affect the Company’s income and equity, based on the opinion of its legal counsel. Additionally, Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. maintains time deposits for an amount of ThCh$656,817 to guaranty judicial liabilities

 

2)        Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. faces labor, tax, civil and trade lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of a probable loss because of these lawsuits, totaling ThCh$55,518,871 Management considers it unlikely that non-provisioned contingencies will affect the Company’s income and equity, based on the opinion of its legal counsel. As it is customary in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. maintains judicial deposits and assets given in pledge to secure the compliance of certain processes, irrespective of whether these have been classified as a possible, probable or remote. The amounts deposited or pledged as legal guarantees as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, amounted to ThCh$31,143,415 and ThCh$31,953,725, respectively.

 

To ensure fulfillment of the obligations arising from judicial proceedings faced in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda., has taken guarantee insurance and guarantee letters amounting to R$986,396,119 with different financial institutions and insurance companies in Brazil, through which these entities after a 0.44% annual commission, become responsible of fulfilling obligations with the Brazilian tax authorities should any trial result against Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. Additionally, if the warranty and bail letters are executed, Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. promises to reimburse to the financial institutions and Insurance Companies any amounts disbursed by them to the Brazilian government.

 

Main contingencies faced by Rio de Janeiro Refrescos are as follows:

 

a)             Tax contingencies resulting from credits on tax on industrialized products (IPI).

 

Rio de Janeiro Refrescos is a party to a series of proceedings under way, in which the Brazilian federal tax authorities demand payment of value-added tax on industrialized products (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados, or IPI) allegedly owed by ex-Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga. The initial amount demanded reached R$1,330,473,161 (historical amount without adjustments), corresponding to different trials related to the same cause. In September 2014, one of these trials for R$598,745,218, was settled in favor of the Company, and additionally during 2017 several trials were settled in favor of the Company in the amount for R$135,282,155 however, there are new lawsuits arising after the purchase of ex-Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga (October 2013) that amount to R$346,232,541.

 

The Company rejects the position of the Brazilian tax authority in these procedures and considers that Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga was entitled to claim IPI tax credits in connection with purchases of certain exempt raw materials from suppliers located in the Manaus free trade zone.

 

F-96


Table of Contents

 

Based on the opinion of its advisers, and judicial outcomes to date, Management estimates that these procedures do not represent probable losses and has not recorded a provision on these matters.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the IFRS related to business combination in terms of distribution of the purchase price establish that contingencies must be measured one by one according to their probability of occurrence and discounted at fair value from the date on which it is deemed the loss can be generated. According to this criterion, from a total of identified contingencies amounting R$1,138,749,846 (including readjustments of current lawsuits), the Company recorded a provision for the beginning of business combination accounting in the amount R$203,070,206 equivalent to ThCh$36,411,450.

 

b)             Tax contingencies on ICMS and IPI causes.

 

They refer mainly to tax settlements issued by advance appropriation of ICMS credits on fixed assets, payment of the replacement of ICMS tax to the operations, untimely IPI credits calculated on bonuses, among other claims.

 

The Company does not consider that these judgments will result in significant losses, given that their loss, according to its legal counsel, is considered unlikely. However, the accounting standards of financial information related to business combination in terms of distribution of the purchase price, establish contingencies must be valued one by one according to their probability of occurrence and discounted to fair value from the date on which it is deemed that the loss can be generated. According to this criterion, an initial provision has been made in the business combination accounting for an amount of R$76,883,016 equivalent to ThCh$13,785,489.

 

3)        Embotelladora Andina S.A. and its Chilean subsidiaries face labor, tax, civil and trade lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of a probable loss because of these lawsuits, totaling ThCh$5,970,453. Management considers it is unlikely that non-provisioned contingencies will affect income and equity of the Company, in the opinion of its legal advisors.

 

4)        Paraguay Refrescos S.A. faces tax, trade, labor and other lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of any loss because of these lawsuits amounting to ThCh$15,160. Management considers it is unlikely that non-provisioned contingencies will affect income and equity of the Company, in the opinion of its legal advisors.

NOTE 22 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s businesses are exposed to a variety of financial and market risks (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk). The Company’s global risk management program focuses on the uncertainty of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the performance of the Company. The Company uses derivatives to hedge certain risks. A description of the primary policies established by the Company to manage financial risks are provided below:

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company maintains all of its debt liabilities at a fixed rate as to avoid fluctuations in financial expenses resulting from tax rate increases.

 

The Company’s greatest indebtedness corresponds to own issued Chilean local bonds at a fixed rate in the amount of UF16,928 million denominated in UF (“UF”), a currency indexed to inflation in Chile (the Company’s sales are correlated with the UF variation).

 

There is also the Company’s indebtedness on the international market through a 144A/RegS Bond at a fixed rate for US$365 million (original amount issued US$575 million and partial prepayment in October 2019 for US$210 million), denominated in dollars, and practically 100% of which has been re-denominated to BRL through Cross Currency Swaps.

 

Credit risk

 

The credit risk to which the Company is exposed comes mainly from trade accounts receivable maintained with retailers, wholesalers and supermarket chains in domestic markets; and the financial investments held with banks and financial institutions, such as time deposits, mutual funds and derivative financial instruments.

 

a.              Trade accounts receivable and other current accounts receivable

 

Credit risk related to trade accounts receivable is managed and monitored by the area of Finance and Administration of each business unit. The Company has a wide base of more than 100 thousand clients implying a high level of atomization of accounts receivable, which are subject to policies, procedures and controls established by the Company. In accordance with such policies, credits must be based objectively, non-discretionary and uniformly granted to all clients of a same segment and channel, provided these will allow generating economic benefits to the Company. The credit limit is checked periodically considering payment behavior. Trade accounts receivable pending of payment are monitored on a monthly basis.

 

i.                                          Sale Interruption:

 

In accordance with Corporate Credit Policy, the interruption of sale must be within the following framework: when a customer has outstanding debts for an amount greater than US$ 250,000, and over 60 days expired, sale is suspended. The General Manager in conjunction with the Finance and Administration Manager authorize exceptions to this rule, and if the outstanding debt should exceed US$1,000,000, and in order to continue operating with that client, the authorization of the Chief Financial Officer is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each operation can define an amount lower than US$250,000 according to the country’s reality.

ii.                                       Impairment

 

The impairment recognition policy establishes the following criteria for provisions: 30% is provisioned for 31 to 60 days overdue, 60%between 60 and 91 days, 90%between 91 and 120 days overdue and 100% for more than 120 days. Exemption of the calculation of global impairment is given to credits whose delays in the payment correspond to accounts disputed with the customer whose nature is known and where all necessary documentation for collection is available, therefore, there is no uncertainty on recovering them. However, these accounts also have an impairment provision as follows: 40% for 91 to 120 days overdue, 80% between 120 and 170, and 100% for more than 170 days.

 

iii.                                    Prepayment to suppliers

 

The Policy establishes that US$25,000 prepayments can only be granted to suppliers if its value is properly and fully provisioned. The Treasurer of each subsidiary must approve supplier warranties that the Company receives for prepayments before signing the respective service contract. In the case of domestic suppliers, a warranty ballot (or the instrument existing in the country) shall be required, in favor of Andina executable in the respective country, non-endorsable, payable on demand or upon presentation and its validity will depend on the term of the contract. In the case of foreign suppliers, a stand-by credit letter will be required which shall be issued by a first line bank; in the event that this document is not issued in the country where the transaction is done, a direct bank warranty will be required. Subsidiaries can define the best way of safeguarding the Company’s assets for prepayments under US$25,000.

 

iv.                                   Guarantees

 

In the case of Chile, we have insurance with Compañía de Seguros de Crédito Continental S.A. (AA rating —according to Fitch Chile and Humphreys rating agencies) covering the credit risk regarding trade debtors in Chile for 91% both for the existing as well as the expired debt, total amount of the trade debtors in Chile reached ThCh$63,322,758. A provision of ThCh$1,343,691 has been made for the portion of past due outstanding debt portfolio not covered by the insurance.

 

The rest of the operations do not have credit insurance, instead mortgage guarantees are required for volume operations of wholesalers and distributors in the case of trade accounts receivables. In the case of other debtors, different types of guarantees are required according to the nature of the credit granted.

 

Historically, uncollectible trade accounts have been lower than 0.5% of the Company’s total sales.

 

b.         Financial investments

 

The Company has a Policy that is applicable to all of the companies of the group in order to cover credit risks for financial investments, restricting both the types of instruments as well as the institutions and degree of concentration. The companies of the group can invest in:

 

a.              Time deposits: only in banks or financial institutions that have a risk rating equal or higher than Level 1  (Fitch) or equivalent for deposits of less than 1 year and rated A (S&P) or equivalent for deposits of more than 1 year.

 

b.              Mutual funds: investments with immediate liquidity and no risk of capital (funds composed of investments at a fixed-term, current account, fixed rate Tit BCRA, negotiable obligations, Over Night, etc.) in all those counter-parties that have a rating greater than or equal to AA-(S&P) or equivalent, Type 1 Pacts and Mutual Funds, with AA+ rating (S&P) or equivalent.

c.               Other investment alternatives must be evaluated and authorized by the office of the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Exchange Rate Risk

 

The company is exposed to three types of risk caused by exchange rate volatility:

 

a)        Exposure of foreign investment

 

This risk originates from the translation of net investment from the functional currency of each country (Brazilian Real, Paraguayan Guaraní, and Argentine Peso) to the Parent Company’s reporting currency (Chilean Peso). Appreciation or devaluation of the Chilean Peso with respect to each of the functional currencies of each country, originates decreases and increases in equity, respectively. The Company does not hedge this risk.

 

a.1 Investment in Argentina

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company maintains a net investment of ThCh$141,415,980 in Argentina, composed by the recognition of assets amounting to ThCh$241,496,143 and liabilities amounting to Ch$100,080,163. These investments accounted for 24.6% of the Company’s consolidated sales revenues

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Argentine peso devalued by 44.1% with respect to the Chilean peso.

 

If the exchange rate of the Argentine Peso depreciated an additional 5% with respect to the Chilean Peso, the Company would have lower income from the operation in Argentina of ThCh$1,008,205 and a decrease in equity of ThCh$4,547,092, originated by lower asset recognition of ThCh$8,049,598 and by lower liabilities recognition of ThCh$3,502,506.

 

a.2 Investment in Brazil

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company maintains a net investment of ThCh$266,078,105 in Brazil, composed by the recognition of assets amounting to ThCh$814,443,115 and liabilities amounting to ThCh$548,365,009. These investments accounted for 32.3% of the Company’s consolidated sales revenues.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Brazilian Real devalued by 3.5% with respect to the Chilean peso.

 

If the exchange rate of the Brazilian Real depreciated an additional 5% with respect to the Chilean Peso, the Company would have lower income from the operation in Brazil of ThCh$1,755,781 and a decrease in equity of ThCh$12,297,287, originated by lower asset recognition of ThCh$36,589,434 and by lower liabilities recognition of ThCh$ 24,292,147.

 

a.3 Investment in Paraguay

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company maintains a net investment of ThCh$247,867,392 in Paraguay, composed by the recognition of assets amounting to ThCh$286,061,496 and liabilities amounting to ThCh$38,194,104. These investments accounted for 8.9% of the Company’s consolidated sales revenues.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Paraguayan Guarani appreciated by 6.0% with respect to the Chilean peso.

 

F-102


Table of Contents

 

If the exchange rate of the Paraguayan Guaraní devalued by 5% with respect to the Chilean Peso, the Company would have lower income from the operations in Paraguay of ThCh$1,220,490 and a decrease in equity of ThCh$11,738,373 originated by lower asset recognition of ThCh$13,360,934 and lower liabilities recognition of ThCh$1,622,561.

 

b)        Net exposure of assets and liabilities in foreign currency

 

This risk stems mostly from carrying liabilities in US dollar, so the volatility of the US dollar with respect to the functional currency of each country generates a variation in the valuation of these obligations, with consequent effect on results.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company maintains a net liability position totaling ThCh$251,124,893, basically composed of bonds payable and leasing contracts for ThCh$257,041,934 partially offset by financial assets denominated in dollars for ThCh$5,917,041.

 

All U.S. Dollar liabilities amounting to ThCh$257,041,934 correspond to dollar liabilities of the Chilean, Argentinean and Brazilian operations and are, therefore, exposed to the volatility of the Chilean peso against the U.S. Dollar.

 

In order to protect the Company from the effects on income resulting from the volatility of the Brazilian Real and the Chilean Peso against the U.S. dollar, the Company maintains derivative contracts (cross currency swaps) to cover almost 100% of US dollar-denominated financial liabilities.

 

By designating such contracts as hedging derivatives, the effects on income for variations in the Chilean Peso and the Brazilian Real against the US dollar, are mitigated annulling its exposure to exchange rates.

 

The Company’s net exposure as of December 31, 2018, to foreign currency over existing assets and liabilities, discounting the derivatives contracts, is an asset position of ThCh$2,466,157.

 

c) Assets purchased or indexed to foreign currency exposure

 

This risk originates from purchases of raw materials and investments in Property, plant and equipment, whose values are expressed in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. Changes in the value of costs or investments can be generated through time, depending on the volatility of the exchange rate.

 

Annual purchases of raw materials denominated or indexed in U.S. dollars, amounts to 19% of our cost of sales or approximately US$340 million.

 

In order to minimize this risk, the Company maintains a currency hedging policy stipulating that it is necessary to enter into foreign currency derivatives contracts to lessen the effect of the exchange rate over cash expenditures expressed in US dollars, corresponding mainly to payment to suppliers of raw materials in each of the operations. This policy stipulates a 12-month forward horizon. As of December 31, 2018, US$56.8 million for future purchases have been hedged-for the following 12 months.

 

F-103


Table of Contents

 

According to the percentage of purchases of raw materials which are carried out or indexed to U.S. dollars, a possible change in the value of the US dollar by 5% in the four countries where the Company operates, and excluding derivatives contracts taken to mitigate the effect of currency volatility, keeping everything constant, would lead to a lower accumulated result amounting to ThCh$5,861,388 as of December 31, 2018. Currently, the Company has contracts to hedge this effect in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.

 

Commodities risk

 

The Company is subject to a risk of price fluctuations in the international markets mainly for sugar, aluminum and PET resin, which are inputs required to produce beverages and, as a whole, account for 35% to 40% of operating costs. Procurement and anticipated purchase contracts are made frequently to minimize and/or stabilize this risk. The possible effects in these Consolidated Financial Statements, in case of a 5% increase in prices of its main raw materials, would be a reduction of ThCh$7,762,189 in earnings for the period ended December 31, 2018. To minimize this risk or stabilize often supply contracts and anticipated purchases are made when market conditions warrant.

 

Liquidity risk

 

The products we sell are mainly paid for in cash and short-term credit; therefore, the Company´s main source of financing comes from the cash flow of our operations. This cash flow has historically been sufficient to cover the investments necessary for the normal course of our business, as well as the distribution of dividends approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. Should additional funding be required for future geographic expansion or other needs, the main sources of financing to consider are: (i) debt offerings in the Chilean and foreign capital markets (ii) borrowings from commercial banks, both internationally and in the local markets where the Company operates; and (iii) public equity offerings
