4Q24 PRESS RELEASE

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

In 2024 CCU delivered higher financial results versus 2023 after a strong turnaround during the second half of the year. Also, we continued to advance in our strategy in a particularly challenging and volatile business environment. Through 2024 we faced a low-twenties contraction in the beer and water industries in Argentina, and a modest economic growth in Chile, that led to flat volumes in the Chile Operating segment. In addition, we experienced cost and expenses pressures coming from the depreciation of our local currencies against the US dollar.

In this context, full-year consolidated EBITDA reached CLP 387,267 million, increasing 2.1% (CLP 415,936 million; a 9.6% increase when a non-recurring gain from the sale of a portion of land in Chile in 2Q24 is included), and full-year consolidated Net Income reached CLP 140,016 million, expanding 32.5% (CLP 160,944 million; a 52.3% increase when the mentioned non-recurring gain is included). The strong turnaround in the second half of the year, where consolidated EBITDA surged by 27.7%, was mainly explained by a solid performance in 4Q24 in all our Operating segments, more than offsetting a challenging first half where we posted a 26.5% decline in EBITDA, as of June 2024. This upward trend was driven by effective initiatives in revenue management and efficiencies in all our Operating segments, enabling us to more than offset the negative impacts in our results from the challenging scenario described above.

The initiatives mentioned above were executed under the regional plan "HérCCUles", which we started in 2022 and ended in 2024, being key to align the Company under 6 pillars with the objective of recovering financial results, resulting in positive EBITDA and Net income growth, the latter well above inflation in that period, despite an unfavorable external context with devaluation of the currencies and low economic growth in the region.

Regarding our business strategy, during the year, CCU continued strengthening its regional footprint. In July 2024, we started consolidating "Aguas de Origen" (ADO), our water business with Danone in Argentina, which will continue bringing synergies to our operations in that country. In October 2024, we increased our scale in Paraguay through a partnership with the Vierci Group (AV), which includes the PepsiCo license for the production and distribution of beverages, as well as the distribution of snacks. With this association, Paraguay became the second country where the PepsiCo license is part of CCU's brand portfolio, in addition to Chile. At the same time, we continued investing in our brands achieving strong brand preference, especially beer in Chile, and kept reinforcing our digital transformation to support sales execution and drive operational efficiencies in the future. Finally, we were the first to inaugurate a modern PET recycling plant bottle-to- bottle in Chile, named "CirCCUlar".

From a quarterly perspective, in 4Q24, CCU delivered a solid set of results. Consolidated EBITDA reached CLP 182,6215 million, a 65.2% increase. This result was driven by all our Operating segments. It is important to mention that in 4Q23 the application of IAS 29 from IFRS in Argentina generated a loss of CLP 24,018 million in consolidated EBITDA, versus a gain of CLP 1,095 million in 4Q24. Even when isolating the mentioned effects, consolidated EBITDA expanded robustly by 34.9%. Excluding the inorganic volumes from the consolidation of ADO and AV in Argentina and Paraguay, respectively, volumes were down 0.1% in 4Q24, fully explained by the International Business Operating segment, which continued to contract versus last year, due to Argentina, almost fully offset by an expansion in the Chile Operating segment, while wine volumes were flat. Consolidated Net income reached a gain of CLP 74,153 million, up by 77.7%, driven the better operational result mentioned, and a better Non-operating result, particularly in Argentina.

In terms of our segments, in the Chile Operating segment top line expanded 9.9%, as a result of 4.9% increase in average prices and 4.7% higher volumes. Average prices were boosted by revenue management efforts, partially compensated by negative mix effects, while volumes expanded mainly due to a low comparison base in 4Q23. EBITDA totalized CLP 106,879 million, a 23.0% rise and EBITDA margin grew 208 bps to 19.6%. In the International Business Operating segment, excluding the inorganic volumes from the consolidation of ADO and AV, in Argentina and Paraguay, respectively, organic Net sales recorded a sharp increase, driven by higher organic average prices, which more than offset a 11.5% contraction in organic volumes. Higher organic average prices were mostly caused by a low comparison base due to a negative impact on revenues from the sharp ARS devaluation against the USD in our 4Q23 results6, and to a lesser extent revenue management initiatives. Organic EBITDA reached CLP 69,873 million, more than tripling versus last year, driven by all the geographies. The Wine Operating segment posted a top line expansion of 21.4%, driven by 21.7% rise in average prices while volumes were flat. Exports expanded during the quarter, being almost fully compensated by the drop in the Argentine domestic market, as Chilean domestic volumes were flat. The better average prices were mostly explained by a favorable comparison base6, a weaker CLP and its favorable impact on export revenues, and positive mix effects. EBITDA reached CLP 12,222 million, a 16.0% growth and EBITDA margin was down 74 bps.

Regarding our main JVs and associated businesses, in Colombia, volumes reached 2.3 million hectoliters in 2024, increasing 7.8%, and we reached positive EBITDA.

To conclude, in 2024 we posted a strong turnaround in our financial results during the second half of the year, expanding EBITDA and Net Income versus 2023 in a challenging business scenario. At the same time, we strengthened our regional footprint. Looking ahead, we are cautious about 2025, as the business scenario will remain volatile and uncertain. Our focus will be on developing our 2025-2027 Strategic Plan, reinforcing our three strategic pillars: Profitability, Growth and Sustainability, with an especial focus on Profitability through revenue management efforts and efficiencies. Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to all our employees. Their dedication and commitment have been key to navigate challenging times. We will continue to work to ensure sustainable and profitable growth for CCU.

5 Excluding the consolidation of ADO in Argentina and of AV in Paraguay, consolidated EBITDA would have reached CLP 179,727 million.

6 The application of IAS 29 from IFRS in Argentina generated a material impact in 4Q23 results given the sharp depreciation of the ARS against the USD in that quarter. This generated a particularly low comparison base for the International Business Operating segment and the Wine Operating segment when comparing Net sales, Cost of sales, MSD&A expenses, EBIT and EBITDA, versus 4Q24 figures.

4Q24 PRESS RELEASE

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS - FOURTH QUARTER (Exhibit 1 & 3)

The analysis below considers organic figures, this is, excluding the consolidation of ADO and AV, unless otherwise stated.

  • Net sales were up 56.7% organically, fully driven by 56.9% higher organic average prices in CLP, as consolidated volumes decreased 0.1% organically. The higher organic average prices in CLP were driven by: (i) a 4.9% rise in the Chile Operating segment, related to revenue management initiatives, partially compensated by negative mix effects, (ii) a large increase in the International Business Operating segment, mostly boosted by a favorable comparison base in Argentina6, and revenue management initiatives, and (iii) a 21.7% growth in the Wine Operating segment, mainly as a result of a favorable comparison base6, a weaker CLP and its favorable impact on export revenues, and positive mix effects. In terms of organic volumes, the performance was as follows: (i) a 4.7% increase in the Chile Operating segment, in part due to a low comparison base in 4Q23, (ii) a 11.5% organic contraction in the International Business Operating segment, mainly concentrated in Argentina, while all the other geographies experienced volume growth, and (iii) a 0.3% contraction in the Wine Operating segment, where exports expanded during the quarter, being almost fully compensated by a weaker Argentine domestic market, as Chilean domestic volumes were flat.
  • Cost of sales was up 52.6% organically, explained by higher Cost of sales per hectoliter, which expanded 52.8% organically in CLP. Higher Cost of sales per hectoliter was due to: (i) a 7.8% increase in the Chile Operating segment, explained by the 7.3%7 depreciation of the CLP against the USD and its impact on USD-denominated costs, and higher prices in PET, aluminum and pulp, partially compensated by lower prices in malt and sugar, (ii) an increase in the International Business Operating segment, mostly caused by an unfavorable comparison base in Argentina6, together with cost pressures coming from the depreciation of the ARS against the USD and its negative impact on USD-denominated costs, and (iii) a 28.8% increase in the Wine Operating segment, also mainly due to the comparison base in Argentina6, a higher USD-linked costs, and a higher cost of wine.
  • Gross profit reached CLP 426,783 million organic, a 61.5% organic increase, and organic Gross margin was higher by 141 bps.
  • MSD&A expenses were up 62.8% organically in CLP, and as percentage of Net sales, were up 124 bps organically. The higher MSD&A expenses were largely due to: (i) a sharp increase in the International Business Operating segment, caused by an unfavorable comparison base in Argentina6, partially compensated with efficiencies, and (ii) a 10.2% increase in the Wine Operating segment, also driven by an unfavorable comparison base in Argentina6, and higher USD denominated marketing expenses, although, as a percentage of Net sales MSD&A expenses improved 298 bps due to efficiencies. The latter was partially compensated by a 1.5% decrease in the Chile Operating segment, due to efficiencies which helped to compensate higher USD-linked expenses and inflation. As a percentage of Net sales MSD&A expenses improved by 344 bps.
  • EBIT reached CLP 137,715 million, and CLP 135,733 million organic, expanding 61.9% and 59.6%, respectively.
  • EBITDA reached CLP 182,621 million, and CLP 179,727 million organic, increasing 65.2% and 62.6%, respectively, driven by all operating segments as follows: the Chile Operating segment expanded EBITDA by 23.0%; the International Business Operating segment expanded 216.2% organically, and the Wine Operating segment by 16.0%. EBITDA margin reached 18.9% and organically reached 20.0%, the latter expanding 72 bps.

As the impact of the consolidation of ADO and AV in the Non-operating result and in Net income is not material, the analysis below considers consolidated figures, this is, including the consolidation of both businesses.

  • Non-operatingresult totalized a loss of CLP 34,324 million versus a negative result of CLP 54,928 million last year. The lower loss was explained by: (i) a better result in Other gains/(losses) by CLP 16,462 million, mostly caused by derivative contracts8, specifically, forward contracts entered into to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our foreign currency balance positions, (ii) a better result in Foreign currency exchange differences by CLP 16,111 million, due to a lower exposure in foreign currency liabilities in Argentina's balance sheet, and (iii) a lower loss in Results as per adjustment units by CLP 2,643 million, mostly in Argentina. This was partially compensated by: (i) a higher loss by CLP 9,053 million in Net financial expenses, mostly due to a higher debt and higher interest rates, both in Argentina and, (ii) a higher loss in Equity and income of JVs and associated by CLP 5,559 million, largely generated by a positive result in Argentina from ADO in 4Q23, business which since July 2024 is consolidated, and a higher loss in Colombia, due to provisions related to claims regarding the determination of the Consumption tax basis (ICO, Impuesto al consumo).
  • Income taxes reached CLP 21,259 million versus a positive result of CLP 17,693 million last year. The higher taxes were mainly explained by a higher taxable income, generated by a better financial performance in Chile and Argentina.
  • Net income reached a gain of CLP 74,153 million versus a gain of CLP 41,729 million last year, expanding 77.7% explained by the effects mentioned above.

4Q24 PRESS RELEASE

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS - FULL YEAR 2024 (Exhibit 2 & 4)

The analysis below considers organic figures, this is, excluding the consolidation of ADO and AV, unless otherwise stated.

  • Net sales were up 9.4% organically, as a result of a 15.4% increase in organic average prices in CLP, partially offset by a 5.2% contraction in organic consolidated volumes. The higher organic average prices in CLP breakdowns as follows: (i) a 4.3% rise in the Chile Operating segment, related to revenue management initiatives, partly offset by negative mix effects in the portfolio;
    1. a 57.1% increase in the International Business Operating segment, driven by revenue management initiatives, which more than compensated the devaluation of the ARS against the USD, and a positive mix effect, and (iii) a 10.6% growth in the Wine Operating segment, mainly boosted by the weaker CLP and its favorable effects on export revenues and a positive mix effect. The lower organic volumes were largely caused by the 18.2% organic contraction in the International Business Operating segment, almost fully explained by Argentina, due to a low-twenties decline in the beer industry, while Paraguay and Bolivia expanded volumes, and Uruguay decreased due to a high comparison base, explained by a water scarcity situation in 2023 which boosted packaged water consumption. The Chile Operating segment, maintained scale, decreasing 0.3%. The Wine Operating segment expanded volume by 1.0% almost fully driven by exports from Chile, which expanded 3.9%, while volumes in the domestic market in Chile were flat and volumes in the Argentine domestic market dropped.
  • Cost of sales grew 12.0% organically, as a consequence of the 18.1% organic increase in Cost of sales per hectoliter. The higher Cost of sales per hectoliter was due to: (i) a 7.1% increase in the Chile Operating segment, explained by the 12.5%7 depreciation of the CLP against the USD and its impact on USD-denominated costs, partially compensated by lower prices mainly in malt and PET, partially counterbalanced by higher prices in sugar, fruit pulp and aluminum; (ii) a 68.6% organic expansion in CLP in the International Business Operating segment, mostly driven by Argentina due to cost pressures coming from the depreciation of the ARS against the USD; and (iii) a 7.7% increase in the Wine Operating segment driven by higher USD-linked costs, partially compensated by a lower cost of wine.
  • Gross profit reached CLP 1,263,652 million organic, an 6.5% organic expansion. Gross margin was lower by 126 bps.
  • MSD&A expenses were up 11.2% organically in CLP, and as percentage of Net sales, deteriorated 57 bps, mostly explained by the International Business Operating segment, due to Argentina. The breakdown per Operating segment was as follows:
    1. in the Chile Operating segment, MSD&A expenses expanded 1.2%, and as a percentage of Net sales improved 93 bps, mainly due to efficiencies which more than offset larger USD-linked expenses and inflation, (ii) in the International Business Operating segment MSD&A expenses in CLP were up 37.9% organically, and as a percentage of Net sales increased 306 bps organically, the latter mainly due to a lower business scale in Argentina impacting negatively fixed-expenses dilution; (iii) in the Wine Operating segment, MSD&A expenses went up 9.1%, although as a percentage of Net sales decreased 74 bps, due to efficiencies which helped to offset higher marketing expenses related to exports which are denominated in USD.
  • EBIT reached CLP 262,702 million, and CLP 262,146 million organic. Excluding the non-recurring gain from a sale of a portion of land in Chile in 2Q24, organic EBIT totalized CLP 233,477 million, a 7.8% organic decrease compared to last year.
  • EBITDA reached CLP 415,936 million, and CLP 414,095 million organic. Excluding the non-recurring gain from a sale of a portion of land in Chile in 2Q24, organic EBITDA totalized CLP 385,426 million, up 1.6% organically compared to last year, posting a strong turnaround in the second half of the year. By Operating segment, the higher organic EBITDA was explained by a 2.4% expansion in the Chile Operating segment and a 30.0% rise in the Wine Operating segment, being partially offset by an 10.5% organic contraction in the International Business Operating segment, mostly concentrated in Argentina, while Paraguay and Bolivia reported an improvement in EBITDA. EBITDA margin reached 14.3%, and organically reached 14.7%, the latter flat versus last year.

As the impact of the consolidation of ADO and AV in the Non-operating result and in Net income is not material, the analysis below considers consolidated figures, this is, including the consolidation of both businesses.

  • Non-operatingresult totalized a loss of CLP 97,172 million versus a negative result of CLP 150,125 million. The better result was mainly explained by: (i) a lower loss in Foreign currency exchange differences by CLP 48,147 million, due to a lower exposure in foreign currency liabilities in Argentina's balance sheet, (ii) a better result in Other gains/(losses) by CLP 13,221 million, mostly caused by derivative contracts8, specifically, forward contracts entered into to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our foreign currency balance position, (iii) a lower loss in Equity and income of JVs and associated by CLP 9,723 million, driven by non-recurring expenses in 2023 related to the route-to-market integration of ADO into our operation, and a better financial result in Colombia, and (iv) a better result in Results as per adjustment units by CLP 3,304 million, mostly in Argentina. The latter was partially offset by a higher loss by CLP 21,443 million in Net financial expenses, mainly due a higher debt and higher interest rates in Argentina.
  • Income taxes reached a positive result of CLP 11,015 million versus a positive result of CLP 15,267 million last year. The lower positive result was mainly explained by a higher taxable income, partially compensated by positive effects in Argentina from the application of inflation for tax purposes.
  • Net income reached a gain of CLP 160,944 million, expanding 52.3% versus last year. Excluding the non-recurring gain from a sale of a portion of land in Chile in 2Q24, Net income totalized CLP 140,016 million, increasing 32.5%, explained by the effects mentioned above.

4Q24 PRESS RELEASE

HIGHLIGHTS BY OPERATING SEGMENTS - FOURTH QUARTER

CHILE OPERATING SEGMENT

In the Chile Operating segment top line expanded 9.9%, as a result of 4.9% increase in average prices and 4.7% higher volumes. Average prices were boosted by revenue management efforts, partially compensated by negative mix effects, while volumes expanded mainly due to a low comparison base in 4Q23. EBITDA totalized CLP 106,879 million, a 23.0% rise and EBITDA margin grew 208 bps to 19.6%.

We made progress in terms of our Sustainability Strategy "Juntos por un Mejor Vivir" (Living better together). Our PET recycling plant "CirCCUlar" achieved an important new milestone by launching the first PET bottles produced with recycled material in Chile. The chosen brand was Cachantun, our leading mineral water brand. We also led the 9th version of the most extensive recycling campaign in Chile, called "Familias reciclando en modo #BilzYPap" ("Families recycling in a BilzYPap mode") an initiative that invites all Chilean families to recycle PET bottles with more than 700 recycling points across Chile. Under our "Equilibrio Hídrico" (Water Balance agenda), CCU, in partnership with FreshWater, installed innovative water purification devices in two educational entities, providing daily water to children in a zone where water scarcity has been a persistent challenge.

Regarding our brands, CCU was recognized as a leading citizen brand in Chile, ranking 20th, in the 15th edition of the "Marcas Ciudadanas" "Citizen Brands" study conducted by Cadem, Deloitte, and Diario Financiero during the second semester of 2024. This study evaluates 310 brands, out of which 40 were considered citizen brands given their contribution, and impact on the lives of Chileans. Furthermore, CCU's brands Cachantun and Kunstmann achieved first place in the beverages and alcoholic beverages categories, respectively.

As for innovations, we presented new brands and new varieties of existing brands during the quarter, among them are: the launch of H2Oh!, a new lightly sparkling, refreshing, and sugar-free non-alcoholic beverage presented in two flavors, Lima Limón and Naranchelo. This brand addresses the growing consumer demand for variety and healthier options in the market. In the beer category, we launched Sol Mix, with two new flavored varieties designed to expand consumption occasions and broaden the beer market by targeting consumers of other categories.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS OPERATING SEGMENT

In the International Business Operating segment, excluding the inorganic volumes from the consolidation of ADO and AV, in Argentina and Paraguay, respectively, organic Net sales recorded a sharp increase, driven by higher organic average prices, which more than offset a 11.5% contraction in organic volumes. Higher organic average prices were mostly caused by a lowcomparison base6 due to a negative impact on revenues from the ARS devaluation against the USD in our 4Q23 results, and to a lesser extent revenue management initiatives. Organic EBITDA reached CLP 69,873 million, more than tripling versus last year, driven by all the geographies.

WINE OPERATING SEGMENT

The Wine Operating segment posted a top line expansion of 21.4%, driven by 21.7% rise in average prices while volumes were flat. Exports expanded during the quarter, being almost fully compensated by the Argentine domestic market, as Chilean domestic volumes were flat. The better average prices were mostly explained by a favorable comparison base6, a weaker CLP and its favorable impact on export revenues, and positive mix effects. EBITDA reached CLP 12,222 million, a 16.0% growth and EBITDA margin was down 74 bps.

During the quarter we launched Donnaluna, a refreshing new wine cocktail, designed to refresh during the warmer months, made with natural essences, lightly sparkling, and low in alcohol and calories. Donnaluna's varieties have 5.5 degrees of alcohol and are presented in three styles: tinto rosso, rossatto, and bianco.
