Annual General Meeting At today’s Annual General Meeting, Kofola
shareholders will approve the board of directors’ proposal to pay a dividend of CZK21 per
share, among other things. The meeting will take place on June 17, 2026, at
10:00 a.m. The CZK21 dividend offers a gross yield of
+4.0%. The record
date is expected to be Friday, June 26, 2026. This means that Wednesday,
June 24, 2026, will be the last trading day with the right to receive the
dividend. End of Partnership with PepsiCo in the Adriatic Region Kofola announced that it will end
its partnership with PepsiCo in Slovenia and Croatia on January 1, 2027. Kofola currently operates as a
Pepsi bottler and distributor. We
expect this change to result in a slight decline in revenue in the low
single-digit percentage range. Kofola will replace Pepsi products with its own
brands. Furthermore, the margin on sales of its own beverages will
be significantly higher than the current margin on Pepsi products. Kofola has already experienced a similar situation when it ended its
partnership with Rauch and replaced their juices with its own brands.
