Developmexxt in 6M25
In the first half of 2025, the Group reported EBITDA of 673.8 million, representing year-on-year decrease of CZK 180.1 million (21.1%). This decline was mainly driven by the introduction of the sugar tax in Slovakia, effective from 1 January 2025, as well as by unfavorable weather conditions. In the first quarter, EBITDA decreased by CZK 95.6 million (37.0%), in the second quarter by CZK 84.5 million (14.2%).
CzechoSlovakia segment experienced a decline in both revenue and EBITDA. As a result of the impelemented sugar tax, retail customers had stocked up on goods in the last quarter of 2024, which led to a decline in the first quarter of 2025. The most noticeable decline in sales, in terms of individual formats, was in the large pack of beverages for home.
The Group's second largest pillar, Beers & Ciders segment, also saw a decline in sales compared to last year. The brewing division Pivovary CZ Ciroup rebranded its key brands Holba and Zubr, supported by a strong communication campaign.
In the first half of 2025, Adriatic segment achived a solid year-on-year revenue growth. This growth was mainly driven by higher sales in Slovenia and Croatia, as well as by an increase in export markets. In the second quarter, there was a significant increase in demand and consumption, particularly in June, when the region was affected by a prolonged heatwave.
Fresh & Herbs segment experienced positive growth, mainly thanks to UGO, which continued its positive trend.
In 2025, several acquisitions took place. For example, the Kofola Group expanded its agriculture
activities and entered another coffee-growing region in Panama.
Development in individual business segments is presented in this interim report within section 4.1.

CzechoSlovakia segment was the most affected, with a decline in sales particularly in large beverages packs intended for home consumption.
Sales in the Adriatic segment grew mainly due to a significant increase in demand and consumption, particularly in June, when the region was affected by a prolonged heatwave.
Beers & Ciders segment was also impacted by unfavorable weather and weaker demand, further influenced by factors such as lower export volumes. All sales formats recorded declines, including cans, glass bottles, and KEGs. Revenue for 6M24 included the contribution from the breweries acquired in March 2024 but for 6M25 included all six months. For comparison revenue of this segment for all 6 months of 2024 reached CZK 798.4 million which indicates revenue decrease by 8% in 6M25.
Revenue in Fresh & Herbs segment was driven by UGO and LEROS. In the QSR division of UGO, results
were supported by successful product innovation and ongoing digitalization initiatives.

The decline in EBITDA reflects lower revenue (CzechoSlovakia and Beers & Ciders segment). The revenue growth in Adriatic segment was not proportionally reflected in EBITDA, mainly due to higher operating costs related to increased investments in the brand and rising personnel expenses following adjustments to the minimum wage.
Finance income/(costs), net
Better financial result was influenced mainly by lower interest expense from bank credits and loans (by CZK 24.9 million). There was also a positive FX effect of CZK 29.3 million.

Development in 2Q25 was, as stated above, influenced by cold spring months and the sugar tax implemented in Slovakia. The Kofola Group continued to build and strengthen its brands. In HoReCa, the CzechoSlovakia segment successfully started to distribute its new brand of juices Curiosa.
The increase in administrative costs is mainly related to personnel expenses (creation of a provison for bonuses).

The decline in revenue of selected product lines is driven by the factors mentioned above. The decrease in Non-carbonated beverages sales is primarily due to lower volumes of Curiosa juices, which are distributed exclusively within HoReCa (unlike Rauch, with which cooperation was terminated at the end of 2024).

Property, plant and equipment increased as a net result of acquisition of subsidiaries of CZK 59.2 million, additions of CZK 596.5 million and depreciation charge of CZK 359.8 million. The most significant additions realized by the Group in 6M25 were represented by investments into the production machinery, returnable packages and vehicles.
Inventories increased due to increased stock level.
Trade and other receivables increased mainly due to higher trade receivables (CZK 97.0 million) which was driven by increased sales (seasonality).
Increase of the Bank credits and loans is a result of the proceeds from loans (CZK 591.3 million), regular loan repayment (CZK 214.4 million), overdraft and FX revaluation.
Other current liabilities decreased mainly as a result of lower provision for personal expenses.
The Group's consolidated net debt (calculated as total non-current and current liabilities relating to credits, loans, leases and other debt instruments less cash and cash equivalents) amounted to CZK 4,704.0 million as at 30 June 2025, which represents an increase of CZK 750.3 million. Increase is caused by new tranches drawing.
The Group's consolidated net debt / Adjusted LTM EBITDA as at 30 June 2025 was of 2.82 (as of 31
December 2024: 2.14).
CASHFLOWS
Cash flows from operating activities were lower by CZK 475.9 million mainly due weaker Group results compared to very strong prior period.
Cash flows from investing activities were higher by CZK 908.9 million mainly due to lower cash outflows connected with acquisition of subsidiaries.
Cash flows from financing activities were lower by CZK 1,058.0 million mainly due to lower cash inflows from drawings of bank loans.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES THAT SUBSTANTIALLY INFLUENCED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
There were no transactions with related parties that substantially influenced financial performance for the reported period ended 30 June 2025.
MAIN RISKS ANDUNCERTAINTIES IN SUBSEQUENT PERIOD
Kofola Group faces several risks and uncertainties that could impact our business performance. One of the primary risks continues to be the volatility in raw material prices, particularly sugar, fruit concentrates, and packaging materials, which may impact production costs. The economic instability in key markets can lead to increased costs for essential inputs. These fluctuations can adversely affect our margins if we are unable to pass on these cost increases to consumers through pricing adjustments. Consumer demand may be influenced by changing preferences, health trends, and economic conditions, including inflation and disposable income levels.
Additionally, the Group faces risks related to regulatory changes, sugar taxation, and environmental regulations affecting packaging etc. The introduction of the sugar tax in Slovakia presents a significant risk to Kofola's sales and profitability in the region.
Currently, the Group has a very solid financial position. It has sufficient cash balances and flexibility in its expenses. The Group also closely monitors the situation and create scenarios during its regular top management meetings.
EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT IN SUBSEQUENT PERIOD
In the second half of 2025, the CzechoSlovakia segment will focus on participating in selected major summer festivals and will fully exploit the potential of summer festivals and events to communicate with customers (e.g., Kofola Nñmesti lñsky, where weddings take place at festivals). Other brands prominent at festivals will be Semtex and Vinea. In the HoReCa segment, we will promote draught Kofola with a summer competition and the slogan "Pojd'na Kofolu". In our communication campaign, we will build on the new products launched in spring 2025 - in particular Korunni functional, EXTREM tangerine, the redesigned Kofola and the newest brands in our portfolio - Curiosa and Dilmah ICE TEA. In retail, we will focus on promoting unflavored waters, which are growing in popularity, especially in Slovakia, where a sugar tax was introduced this year. At the same time, we will focus fully on the Vinea brand, for which a full-format campaign called Mam Té / Ta rad (I love you) has been launched. In terms of investments, we plan to start construction of new warehouses at Mnichovo Hradi"sté and Rajeckñ Lesnñ plants with the aim of streamlining logistics processes in terms of time and costs. We do not expect any significant fluctuations in production costs and raw material and material costs in the second half of the year. We will continue to focus on cost optimization and streamlining internal and external processes across the entire Czechoslovak segment.
The Adriatic segment has faced several challenges in the first half of the year, including a weaker-than-expected start to the main season. The implementation of higher taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages has also negatively impacted overall performance, with noticeable changes in consumer purchasing behavior. Despite these headwinds, we remain cautiously optimistic for the second half of 2025. We expect a recovery across both key channels - Retail and HoReCa - and will actively pursue further improvements in operational efficiency including on identifying potential savings and optimizing processes. We continue to support our core brands - Radenska, Studena, and other strategic trademarks
- through planned marketing and promotional campaigns aimed at reinforcing brand visibility and driving consumer engagement. We believe that through strict cost discipline, commercial agility, and continued focus on our key brands, the Adriatic segment can return to a more positive performance by the end of the year.
UGO is fulfilling revenue and EBITDA targets for the first 2025 half and is expecting the same positive and stable trend in the second half. Quick Service Restaurants division is planning to open a new Salaterie in place of the Freshbar in Slovakia and open a couple of new restaurants till the end of the year in the Czech Republic. Quick Service Restaurants division is continuing to increase revenues from delivery, to invest into digitalization and productivity. Retail division is focused into productivity and portfolio optimization topics.
Leros had a very good first half of the year. We experienced stong first quarter which minimazed losses from our off season (May - July). We are very well prepared for the main season that starts in August and last till the end of the year. Our stores are 100% full of seasonal goods and the revenues of the first half of August show a really nice trend that should continue till the end of the year. As we are CZK 7 million ahead in EBITDA after the first 7 months, we believe to deliver at least budgeted EBITDA at the end of the year.
Premium Rosa in the first half of the year was a bit struggling with its cost structure and a slight drop in sales compared to budget. However, we have taken corrective measures and is focusing on the main season (September - December). Despite the fact that we are slightly behind the budget in revenue as well as in EBITDA we will do our best to achive budgeted figures by the end of the year.
Organizational integration and optimization of the breweries acquired in March 2024 was successfully completed in early 2025. This milestone positions the Beer & Ciders business segment to significantly expand its distribution across both retail and gastronomy channels in the Czech Republic, while also strengthening and growing its presence in export markets. To support this growth, the route-to-market strategy is being optimized, operational efficiencies are being implemented, and robust processes are being introduced to handle increased volumes. We are also increasing marketing investments, highlighted by the rebranding of Holba and Zubr, aimed at revitalizing their portfolios and increasing brand appeal. Despite some unfavorable weather forecasts, we remain focused on building upon the exceptionally strong results achieved in the second half of last year.
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Even though ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) does not require a reconciliation of Alternative Performance Indicators (APM) to financial statements if the APM can be defined from the financial statements, we add such a reconciliation for better understanding of our calculation of EBITDA and Net debt.

Purpose o£ APM:
A. EBITDA
M/I
The Company uses EBITDA because it is an important economic indicator showing a business's operating efficiency comparable to other companies, as it is unrelated to the Company's depreciation and amortisation policy, capital structure and tax treatment. EBITDA indicator is also treated as a good approximation for operating cash flow. Additionally, it is one of the fundamental indicators used by companies worldwide to set their key financial and strategic objectives.
The Company uses EBITDA indicator also in budgeting process, benchmarking with its peers and as a basis for remuneration for key management staff. Such indicator is also used by stock exchange and bank analysts.
8. Net deL›t
The Company uses Net debt indicator because it shows the real level of a Company's financial debt, i.e. the nominal amount of debt net of cash, cash equivalents, and highly liquid financial assets held by the Company. The indicator allows assessing the overall indebtedness of the Company.
C. Net debt/EBI'FDA
The Company uses Net debt/EBITDA indicator because it indicates a Company's capability to pay back its debt as well as its ability to take on additional debt to grow its business. Additionally, the Company uses this indicator to assess the adequacy of its capital structure and stability of its expected cash flows. Such indicator is also used by stock exchange and bank analysts.
3.1.1ODIVIDEi'4D POLICY
In June 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company's dividend policy for the periods of 2024 and 2025. The intention of the Board of Directors is to maintain the current trend and distribute approximately CZK 300 million to shareholders in each financial year. This currently represents approximately CZK 13.46 per share before tax. The realisation of this intention is conditional on sufficient funds being available for distribution (distributable resources) without jeopardising the
Company's financial stability. This dividend policy was announced at the General Meeting on 28 June 2024.
On 25th June 2025, the General Meeting of Kofola CeskoSlovensko a.s approved the payment of a dividend of CZK 21 per share before tax by an absolute majority of votes of all shareholders. The dividend amount paid out to the shareholders was reduced by the advanced dividend for 2024 in the amount of CZK 7.50 per share before tax paid out in October 2024 based on the decision of the Company's Board of Directors dated 8 October 2024.
