Strategic Report Governance and Directors' Report Chairman's letter Financial Statements Sustainability Statement Other Information Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc 2025 Annual Report and Form 20-F 4 ‌Growing together Sol Daurella Chairman Engaging with our people I want to begin by expressing my sincere thanks to each of our 39,000 colleagues for the vital role they play in our success. Their commitment and energy make Coca - Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) what it is. Alongside our Board of Directors, I had the privilege of visiting a number of markets through tours and customer engagements in 2025, particularly in our Australia, Pacific and South East Asia (APS) region. These visits offer the chance to see first hand how we are growing in this dynamic part of the world. I was fortunate to visit Manila for our Capital Markets Event in May, where we shared our growth story with analysts and investors from around the world. It was inspiring to see the energy and potential of this vibrant market and celebrate one year since the Philippines joined the CCEP family. In GB, the Board came together for an employee townhall, a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and answer their questions. Townhalls like these tie directly to our broader focus on building an inclusive, supportive culture. As we often say, at CCEP people join for the brands and stay for the people. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths, enabling us to better reflect, understand, and serve our customers and communities. I was pleased to see record participation in our Inclusion Pulse Survey in 2025, including from our frontline teams. The feedback confirmed that our people feel respected, valued, and that they belong - and it will help us create an even stronger workplace environment. We were also proud to achieve Top Employers Institute accreditation in more markets than ever before. Further examples of Board engagement with local stakeholders across our markets can be found on pages 28-29 and 83 We continue to invest in our people, whether through the rollout of our enhanced Employee Assistance Programme or by accelerating AI-powered learning and development. These initiatives are helping us create opportunities for growth and build skills for the future. A local business At CCEP, we combine the strength and scale of a multinational company with the expertise and passion of a local business. And this, our local heritage, is something that is very close to my heart. The "Bosses" campaign in GB - which showcased convenience store owners - was a great example of how we celebrate our local roots, and our close partnership with The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC). This is why we also seek to make a lasting, positive contribution to communities across CCEP's markets, through local programmes such as GIRA Mujeres and GIRA Jóvenes. Growing sustainably We remain committed to building a sustainable future. Through CCEP Ventures, we continue to invest in innovative solutions that support our sustainability ambitions. For a 10 th consecutive year, CCEP was included in CDP's A-list for climate, recognising our actions and performance to reduce GHG emissions. And we are empowering our people to become sustainability ambassadors through the rollout of our Sustainability Academy.

Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths, enabling us to better reflect, understand, and serve our customers and communities." As always, I want to recognise Damian Gammell and our Executive Leadership Team (ELT) for steering the business through another solid year. This year, we announced several changes to our Executive Empowering people in Spain I am deeply proud of the impact of our GIRA programmes, which reflect our commitment to creating opportunities and supporting local communities. GIRA Jóvenes helps young people build skills for the future. In 2025, our 13 th edition reached approximately 700 participants from 23 localities, including more than 300 from rural areas. The creativity and dedication shown at the final event in Madrid was truly inspiring. Just as GIRA Jóvenes equips young people with skills for the future, GIRA Mujeres is helping women shape their own. It empowers women to start or transform their businesses. In 2025, over 800 female entrepreneurs took part and in November, I joined the gala for the 9 th edition, where 10 entrepreneurs presented their projects with passion and purpose. Congratulations to the four winners who received seed funding to bring their ideas to life. These programmes show how, together, we can create real opportunities and make a lasting difference. 9 th Leadership Team. I would like to thank Peter Brickley, Peter West and Clare Wardle for their outstanding contributions and wish them well in their retirement. At the same time, I am delighted to welcome Francesca Faure, Gareth McGeown and Svetlana Walker to the ELT, and I look forward to working closely with them as we continue to build on our success. 2026 will mark 10 years since the creation of Coca-Cola European Partners. I am incredibly proud of how far we have come - with more employees, operating in more markets, and delivering more value than ever before. This gives me great confidence in our future, and I look forward to what we will achieve together in the year ahead.

I am proud of the passion and commitment our teams have shown -delivering results today while building for tomorrow. Our focus remains clear: driving profitable growth through a customer and consumer led approach, powered by technology, innovation and investment. This is underpinned by our long-term strategy: great brands, great people and great execution, done sustainably. In March, we joined the FTSE 100 Index, an important milestone that reflects the size, scale and strength of our business, and makes us accessible to more investors. With a balanced footprint across 31 markets, spanning developed and emerging economies, we are well positioned for future growth. Partnerships and people Our strong partnerships with TCCC, Monster Energy Corporation (MEC or Monster) and other brand owners remain central to our success. Together, we are building a portfolio that meets evolving consumer needs. Our success is driven by our people - bringing energy, commitment, and passion to CCEP every day. To support them, we continue to invest in capability building across commercial, customer service, supply chain, leadership and AI. Great brands We are privileged to make, move and sell some of the world's most loved brands, and we continue to grow by giving consumers more of what they want. Our core range maintained good momentum, delivering exciting new flavours and high - impact campaigns. Fuze Tea continues to demonstrate the power of localised flavour innovation. In energy, Monster remains a key growth driver, supported by new launches, the Lando Norris partnership, and enduring success of core variants. Our alcohol ready to drink (ARTD) portfolio is also scaling fast, with great partnerships and new flavour launches, supported by activations that spark consumer curiosity.

We were also recognised as a top supplier in the Advantage Group Survey - with eight markets ranked #1 or #2 in FMCG. Coolers remain a significant growth engine. We placed over 75,000 in Europe in 2025, and are investing to expand our fleet over the next five years. We continue to innovate in pack formats, expanding in the affordability pack segment to increase accessibility, and drive more value through premiumisation, including mini-cans, mini-PET and more returnable glass.
