Coca-Cola Europacific Partners reported a 31% surge in profit for 2025, driven by higher pricing and productivity gains that offset flat volumes across its markets. The bottler posted €2.79 billion in operating profit for the full year, with revenue rising 2.3% to €20.90 billion, according to preliminary unaudited results.

CEO Damian Gammell highlighted another strong year marked by robust top and bottom-line growth, strong free cash flow, and increased shareholder returns. The company announced a further €1 billion share buyback pending shareholder approval at its 2026 AGM. Total volumes reached 3,958 million unit cases, up 2.4% on a reported basis, though Europe saw a 0.2% decline due to softer demand in Germany and sugar tax impacts.

Despite flat volumes in Europe, revenue per unit case increased 3.6% on a comparable basis, supported by pricing and mix effects. Cost of sales rose 1.8% reported, with profit after taxes jumping 37% to €1.98 billion. The company forecasts 2026 revenue growth of 3% to 4% on a comparable and FX-neutral basis, with operating profit growth of about 7% and free cash flow of at least €1.7 billion.
