Sales Volume increased
by 7.2% to 174.0 million unit cases, driven by volume growth in the Soft Drinks and Juices and Other Non-Alcoholic Beverages categories,
partially offset by declines in the Water and Beer and Other Alcoholic Beverages categories. The Non-Alcoholic Beverages Segment accounted
for 99.3% of total Sales Volume and grew by 8.1%, explained by growth in the Soft Drinks and Juices and Other Non-Alcoholic Beverages
categories, partially offset by a decrease in the Water category. The Alcoholic Beverages Segment accounted for 0.7% of total volume
and decreased by 54.0%, which was explained by the decrease in the Beer category, partially offset by the increase in the Other Alcohols
category. Transactions reached 921.3 million, representing an increase of 6.6%.

local currency, representing 97.7% of total sales. Net Sales in the Alcoholic Beverages segment decreased by 43.0% in local currency,
representing 2.3% of total sales.

Cost of Sales increased
4.3%, while in local currency it increased 16.6%, mainly explained by (i) higher sales volume, (ii) the negative effect of the exchange

by lower sugar costs.

Administrative Expenses decreased 2.5% in the reporting currency and increased 9.1% in local currency, mainly due to (i) higher freight
expenses as a result of higher sales volume, (ii) higher depreciation charges, and (iii) higher labor costs. This was partially offset
by lower marketing expenses.

increased by 5.9%.
