FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CCE PRESENTS AT BARCLAYS BACK-TO-SCHOOL INVESTOR CONFERENCE,
PROVIDES FULL-YEAR 2014 GUIDANCE

ATLANTA, September 3, 2014 – Coca-Cola Enterprises (NYSE/Euronext Paris: CCE) will discuss its plans and outlook with investors today at the Barclays Back-to-School Consumer Conference in Boston at 2:15 p.m. ET. The public can access the presentation through our website, www.cokecce.com.
In the presentation, CCE will provide 2014 full-year guidance, including earnings per diluted share growth of approximately 10 percent. Both net sales and operating income growth are now expected at the lower end of their previously disclosed ranges of low and mid-single-digit growth. This guidance is comparable and currency neutral. Based on recent rates, currency translation would benefit full-year 2014 earnings per diluted share by just under 4 percent.
“Our focus remains on our primary objective – delivering shareowner value,” said Mr. Brock. “While growth in the current environment remains challenging, we are focused

on delivering outstanding marketplace execution as we manage each of the levers of our business to drive cash flow and shareowner value.”
