COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES, INC.
REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2014 RESULTS


CCE achieved full-year earnings per diluted share of $2.63 on a reported basis, up 8 percent, or $2.85 on a comparable basis, up 13½ percent and up 11 percent on a comparable and currency-neutral basis.

Full-year net sales totaled $8.3 billion, an increase of ½ percent on a reported basis, or down ½ percent on a currency-neutral basis; volume was flat and net pricing per case declined ½ percent.

Full-year operating income was $1.0 billion on a reported basis, up 11½ percent, or $1.1 billion on a comparable basis, up 5 percent and up 3 percent on a comparable and currency-neutral basis.

Fourth-quarter earnings per diluted share totaled 46 cents on a reported basis, or 58 cents on a comparable basis.

CCE affirms its expectation for 2015 comparable and currency-neutral earnings per diluted share growth in a range of 6 percent to 8 percent; at recent rates, currency translation would reduce earnings per diluted share by approximately 16 percent.


ATLANTA, February 12, 2015 - Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE/Euronext Paris: CCE) today reported full-year 2014 earnings per diluted share of $2.63, or $2.85 on a comparable basis. Currency translation had a positive impact of approximately 6 cents on full-year comparable earnings per diluted share.



Page 2 of 14

Reported operating income for the year totaled $1.0 billion; comparable operating income totaled $1.1 billion, up 5 percent and up 3 percent on a comparable and currency-neutral basis versus a year ago. Items affecting comparability are detailed on pages 11 through 14 of this release.
Reported earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter were 46 cents, or 58 cents on a comparable basis. Currency translation had a negative impact of approximately 5 cents on fourth-quarter comparable earnings per diluted share.
“Throughout 2014, persistent macroeconomic and marketplace headwinds continued to affect our business and our top-line growth,” said John F. Brock, chairman and chief executive officer. “While this impacted our ability to achieve our full-year net sales and operating income objectives, we adjusted our plans, focused on generating strong free cash flow, and achieved our earnings per share growth objective.
“As we go forward into 2015, we will continue to adapt to these operating conditions, with a solid emphasis on innovation in every aspect of our business,” Mr. Brock said. “We will remain flexible in our approach and continue to manage each element of our business to deliver on our most important objective, creating value for our shareowners.”
Operating Review
For the full year, total volume was flat. Sparkling drinks declined ½ percent, including flat volume for our total Coca-Cola trademark brands. Coca-Cola Zero contributed substantial growth of 11 percent for the year. Sparkling flavors declined 2 percent, with growth of 6½ percent for our energy portfolio. Still beverages grew 1½ percent, with juices down ½ percent and water up 5½ percent, led by Chaudfontaine and the introduction of smartwater in Great Britain. Total volume in Great Britain declined ½ percent and volume in continental Europe (including Norway and Sweden) increased ½ percent for the full year.
Full-year net sales totaled $8.3 billion, up ½ percent on a reported basis, or down ½ percent on a currency-neutral basis. Net pricing per case for the full year declined ½ percent, and cost of


Page 3 of 14

sales per case declined 1 percent. Operating expenses increased approximately 1 percent. These figures are presented on a comparable and currency-neutral basis. Free cash flow for 2014 totaled $677 million.
For the fourth quarter, volume grew 2 percent, driven primarily by growth in Coca-Cola trademark brands, including 9 percent growth for Coca-Cola Zero and introductory volume for Coca-Cola Life. Sparkling flavors grew 1 percent, with growth of 11 percent for our energy portfolio. Still beverages grew 7½ percent, with juices up 4 percent and water up 12½ percent in the quarter. Fourth-quarter volume in Great Britain grew 6 percent, and continental European volume declined 1 percent.
Fourth-quarter net sales totaled $1.9 billion, down 5½ percent on a reported basis, or up 1½ percent on a currency-neutral basis. Reported operating income totaled $195 million, a decline of 10 percent. On a comparable basis, operating income totaled $227 million, a decline of 2 percent, or an increase of 5 percent on a comparable and currency-neutral basis. Fourth-quarter net pricing per case declined 2 percent, and cost of sales per case declined 2½ percent, both on a comparable and currency-neutral basis.
        “Despite the continued challenges in our markets, we believe our commitment to customer service and innovation, as well as continued focus on improving efficiency and effectiveness, will allow us to realize available growth opportunities,” said Hubert Patricot, executive vice president and president, European Group.
“Our business plan for 2015 includes solid brand, package, and marketplace initiatives, including expanding the distribution of new products such as Coca-Cola Life and Finley. We also will continue to increase our penetration in the convenience channel, grow our digital sales presence, and optimize the high levels of service we provide our customers,” Mr. Patricot said.

Share Repurchase
CCE repurchased approximately $925 million of its shares in 2014, reflecting our commitment to generate cash from operations, optimize our capital structure, and to return excess cash to shareowners. In 2015, the company expects to repurchase approximately $600 million of its shares. These plans may be adjusted depending on economic, operating, or other factors, including acquisition opportunities.
Full-Year 2015 Outlook
CCE expects 2015 earnings per diluted share to grow in a range of 6 percent to 8 percent on a comparable and currency-neutral basis. Although it is too early to predict the impact, based on recent exchange rates, currency translation would negatively impact full-year earnings per diluted share by approximately 16 percent.
Net sales and operating income are expected to be slightly positive on a comparable and currency-neutral basis. The company also expects 2015 free cash flow in a range of $600 million to $650 million, including the expected negative impact of currency translation based on recent rates. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $325 million. Weighted-average cost of debt is expected to be approximately 3 percent. The comparable effective tax rate for 2015 is expected to be in a range of 27 percent to 28 percent.
Conference Call
CCE will host a conference call with investors and analysts today at 10 a.m. ET. The call can be accessed through the company’s website at www.cokecce.com.

The non-GAAP financial measures "Currency-Neutral Bottle and Can Net Pricing Per Case" and "Currency-Neutral Bottle and Can Cost of Sales per Case" are used to more clearly evaluate bottle and can pricing and cost trends in the marketplace. These measures exclude items not directly related to bottle and can pricing or cost and currency exchange rate changes.
