(2) Reason for revision
On August 10, 2018, we temporarily withdrew our full-year 2018 forecast because we were not able toreasonably estimate the impact of the damage of the flood and expected business disruption.

Today, we announce our updated full-year forecast including the impact of the flooding and underlying
business trends, as we expect revenue to be impacted by lost sales opportunities due to loss of production
capacity of Hongo manufacturing plant, significantly higher logistics cost to supply products nationallyfrom alternate supply points, product supply constraints driven by rapid growth in aseptic products, aswell as extraordinary loss from asset and inventory write-offs. Please also see our supplemental
presentation material for details.

Full-year dividend forecast remains unchanged from previously announced guidance. (Full-year dividend
forecast: 50JPY/Share, with interim dividend of 25JPY/Share and year-end dividend forecast of25JPY/Share.)

2. Extraordinary loss
We suspended operations at the Hongo manufacturing plant and the adjacent logistics center of oursubsidiary, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc., located in Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture after experiencing
substantial flooding due to the extraordinary rains in July. In addition, some other facilities and sales
centers, as well as cold drink equipment and vehicles were damaged in the flooding.

We expect to incur

8.4 billion yen in extraordinary losses due to natural disaster for full-year 2018 results. The loss primarily
includes write-off of damaged assets and inventories.
