IV. Description of selected financial data and events having the significant impact on the level of achieved financial result

Capital Group Żywiec S.A.

After three quarters of 2020 the cumulative consolidated operating profit of Grupa Żywiec amounted to PLN 257M (decrease by 9% versus the same period of 2019: PLN 284M). Despite the good weather in the summer season, market share gains and the increase in its revenues in the Q3, the Groups's result was affected by the acceleration of negative changes in the market and significant increase in production costs.

In the nine months of 2020, the Group's revenues increased by 6% vs the same period of 2019, while production and packaging costs increased by 13%. This is mainly due to the acceleration in the growth of less profitable distribution channels and the increase in the share of one way packaging in the sales structure as well as the negative impact of currency exchange rates. Despite the implemented savings measures and better results in the Q3, the company recorded a 9% decrease in operating profit.

'Over the past 9 months we focused on ensuring the safety of employees and our partners, while quickly adjusting our plans to the changing situation. We operate in a time of great uncertainty in the market caused by the developing pandemics and large changes in consumer behaviour. Nowadays they shop more at discounters and more often choose beer in one way packaging. This affects the Company's prof- itability.' - said Francois-XavierMahot, President of Grupa Żywiec S.A. - 'Thanks to our great people we could adapt fast our ways of working and marketing plans and were able to accelerate our growth in the premium segment contributing to high single digit growth of our total revenue. However, revenue growth and saving measures were not enough to offset the negative impact of cost increases on profit levels. Additionally, we experienced a negative impact of the currency rates on our result.' - added Mahot.

Observing the growing uncertainty in the environment and a further increase in costs, Grupa Żywiec took steps to strengthen its competitive position by focussing on its core business strengths. The Company launched a transformation program aimed at simplifying its business and focussing its resources on key strategic areas, making deliberate choices to divest some non-strategic assets that would not bring the expected return in the current reality. In this context Grupa Żywiec have recently announced they have signed a letter of intent expressing its intention to sell to Van Pur S.A. 100% of shares in Browar Braniewo Sp. z o.o, along with the rights to the brands 'Kuflowe', 'Braniewo' and 'Jasne, że pełne' and the assets related to the production of these beers. The finalization of this transaction requires the consent of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection and depends on the course of the due diligence process. At the same time, Grupa Żywiec S.A. conduct talks with potential investors regarding the sale of Browar Zamkowy Cieszyn Sp. z o.o.
