Kofola had a weak start to 2025 in the first quarter. Its EBITDA was down 37% yoy. These weak figures are due to the introduction of a sugar tax in Slovakia and significant pre-stocking. Marketing costs were also higher. Colder weather did not help, either. Despite these results, which represent only 8.3% of the full-year EBITDA projection, Kofola reiterated its full-year targets.
