IV.	Description of selected financial data and events having the significant impact on the level of achieved
	financial result
	Capital Group Żywiec S.A.
	Q1 2019
	After an exceptionally good 2018, the Group continued its value-creation strategy and increased share of sales
	in both premium beers and innovations, leading to positive growth in revenue per hectolitre of beer. As a result
	despite lower sales volume total revenue was at a similar level to the first quarter of 2018. Further increase in
	production costs, specifically raw materials, energy and packaging had a significant impact on the Group's
	operations impacting operating profit.
	"We are pleased with our 2019 results to date, in particular with the growth coming from the upper end of our
	portfolio. This supports our commitment to continue and accelerate our value strategy." - said
	Francois-Xavier Mahot, President of the Management Board of Grupa Żywiec S.A.
	In the first quarter of 2019:

•Consolidated revenue from the sale of products, goods and materials reached PLN 606,693 (2018: PLN 604,448 thousand)

•Consolidated operating profit was 3% lower at PLN 12,477 thousand (2018: PLN 12,894 thousand)

•Capital Group Żywiec S.A. net profit was PLN 6,493 thousand (2018: PLN 4,511 thousand).

In the first quarter of 2019 net revenues from sales of products, goods and materials reached PLN 609,151 thousand (2018: PLN 606,116 thousand). Operating profit amounted to PLN 5,316 thousand.
