Net Sales
Our sales volume was 909.0 million unit cases during the year ended December 31, 2024, a 3.0% increase compared to 882.6 million unit cases in 2023, explained by the volume increase in our operations in Brazil, Paraguay and Chile, which was partially offset by the volume decrease in the Argentine operation. Volume for soft drinks, waters and juices/other non-alcoholic beverages increased 2.9%, 5.1% and 3.4%, respectively, while volume for beer and spirits decreased 1.2%, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023. The decrease of sales volume of beer and spirits is mainly due to the reduction of the volume in the Brazilian and Argentinean operations, which was partially offset by the growth of the volume in the Paraguayan operation. 
Our net sales were Ch$3,224,233 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 23.1% compared to Ch$2,618,437 million during 2023.

Soft drinks represented 64.6% of net sales during the
