CEO Comments
In 2022, we have faced a highly complex and uncertain global operating and macroeconomic environment that has challenged us as a Company to adapt and respond to the new logistics and commercial context in our quest to generate sustained value over time.
Given the strong inflationary pressures and their impact on dry goods costs, freight and labor costs, we have carried out price increases throughout the portfolio, with a focus on our profitability objectives, together with effective cost management and a strategy aimed at maintaining the financial strength of the Company.
In the second quarter, consolidated sales grew 5.6%, reaching Ch$222,180 million, reflecting the increase in average price/mix, a favorable exchange rate effect, and lower volumes. The decrease in volumes of 10.8% mainly reflects lower demand in Europe, especially in the UK, where there is a normalization in post- pandemic consumption habits, a high basis of comparison and adjustments after price increases in this key market. Lower sales volumes were also observed in Russia and Ireland. Volumes in Asia were affected by a gap in shipments to Japan and South Korea. In Chile, there was also a contraction mostly in the category of non-premium wine and a decrease in Beers and Spirits, after a period of extraordinary growth. Volumes in Latin America, led by Mexico, performed strongly, as they did in Canada.
At the operational level, the different initiatives carried out and effective cost management have allowed us to show an expansion of gross profit (+5.1%) and a stable gross margin. However, higher administrative and sales expenses, as a result of increases in the cost of employment, logistic expenses and investment in brands, together with extraordinary expenses to meet our commercial commitments, have caused a fall in the operating result and its margin.
Given our favorable financial management, we ended the quarter with a lower net financial expense, as well as a positive result on exchange rate differences, contributing to net income closing the period slightly above the one of the previous year.
Despite the challenging backdrop, our belief in the solid fundamentals of the strategy and the Company remains intact. While we have seen certain contractions in the Premium segment, we are certain that our strategic vision and investment in brand and market building will continue to bring growth and profitability to the Company. In turn, the focus on efficiency and the development of investments in our integrated production model will allow us to overcome complex quarters effectively, evolving into an even more solid Company.

2Q22 Results
1. Consolidated Revenue
In 2Q22, consolidated sales grew 5.6% to Ch$222,180 million. This result comes from a positive price/mix effect as the Company has carried out price increases in the different markets during the quarter, and a favorable exchange rate effect, partly offset by a 10.8% decrease in total volume.
Lower volumes have been driven by several factors, such as the price increases that have been made in different markets, consumption adjustments in a post-pandemic scenario along with high bases of comparison, the loss of promotional slots due to disruptions in logistics, a situation that continued to affect certain routes in the quarter, among others. The Company evidenced weaker volumes in its major markets of Chile, Europe and the USA. On the other hand, Latin America and Canada posted volume growth in the period.
In a challenging context, our brands in the Principal and Invest categories showed sales increases of 2.4% in value and a decrease of 11.1% in volume, due to weaker volumes in the main export markets. Consequently, the Company showed a slightly lower sales mix compared to the same quarter of 2021, with the Principal and Invest categories representing 49.1% of total Company sales (-100 bp).
For the quarter, we highlight the increase in the average price/mix in Chile Wine (+9.7%) and the USA (+5.2%); in Export Markets the Company has carried out price increases in local currency in most of its markets.
1.1. Export Markets
The company's sales in Export Markets grew 6.6% in value, reaching Ch$151,000 million. This result reflects the positive effect of price increases in local currency and the exchange rate effect, partly compensated by a 9.7% decrease in volumes.
In Europe, sales decreased 1.1%, with volumes down 15.3%, mainly due to lower volumes in the UK, Ireland and Russia. In the UK, volumes declined 12.2% mainly reflecting industry adjustments following pandemic restrictions and normal shopping behaviors returning, and volume adjustments following price increases in this key market.
In Asia, sales decreased 8.0% in value with volumes 27.5% down. This is largely explained by the phasing of shipments to Japan into the second half of the year, and lower volumes to South Korea in this quarter. We highlight sales growth in China, of 17.9% in value and 10.7% in volume, despite COVID restrictions affecting the large city of Shanghai in the months of April and May. The strategy and focus on the Premium categories that the Company has carried out had a positive performance with Invest brands increasing 124% in volume, and the Super and Ultra Premium portfolio expanding 24.7%.

In Latin America, sales had a positive performance (+38.0% in value, +8.9% in volume), led by Mexico with growth of 48.6% in value and 29.9% in volume, boosted by the Principal, Invest and Protect categories all posting double digit volume growth. Brazil's sales grew 7.2% in value.
In Canada, sales grew 14.5% in value and 3.6% in volume, with a solid performance of the Principal category.
Regarding the exchange rate impact, when compared with the same quarter of the previous year, in 2Q22, the average Chilean peso depreciated against all the currencies of our export markets: the Brazilian Real (26.0%), US dollar (18.4%), Mexican peso (17.7%), Chinese Yuan (14.8%), Canadian dollar (13.5%), Pound Sterling (5.8%), Norwegian krone (4.4%), Euro (4.4%), and Swedish krona (0.5%)1.
1.2. Chile
In the domestic market of Chile, wine sales decreased 4.4% to Ch$23,923 million as a result of a 9.7% increase in the average price/mix and a volume decrease of 12.8%. The volume decline was concentrated in the non-premium wine segment, reflecting mainly the downward trend in this category. On the other hand, Principal and Invest brands combined grew 5.6% in value and 1.1% in volume with an average price increase of 4.5% and a 370 bp increase in value mix.
The Beer & Spirits category showed a deceleration with sales decreasing 6.7% in value and 8.0% in volume. This result is mainly explained by a high comparative base from consecutive double- digit growth in previous quarters.
1.3. USA
Sales in the market of USA include sales of Bonterra Organic Estates (ex Fetzer Vineyards) and the imported portfolio from Chile and Argentina, currently commercialized by Bonterra Organic Estates.
In USA, sales increased 5.4% in value, with 5.2% higher average price/mix in US dollars. Total volume recorded a 15.3% decrease, mainly explained by lower sales in the non-premium portfolio (
