Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information
Unless otherwise specified, references herein to “dollars”, “U.S. dollars” or “US$” are to United States dollars; references to “pesos”, “Chilean pesos”, “Ch$” or “ThCh$” are to Chilean pesos; references to “Argentine pesos” or “AR$” are to Argentine pesos; references to “real”, “reais” or “R$” are to Brazilian reais; and references to “guaraníes”, “guaraní” or “G$” are to Paraguayan guaraníes. References to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento. The UF is an inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit with a value in Chilean pesos that is adjusted daily to reflect changes in the official consumer price index of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the “Chilean National Institute of Statistics”). The UF is adjusted in monthly cycles. Each day in the period beginning on the tenth day of the current month through the ninth day of the succeeding month, the nominal peso value of the UF is indexed up (or down in the event of deflation) in order to reflect a proportionate amount of the change in the Chilean consumer price index during the prior calendar month. Certain percentages and amounts contained in this annual report have been rounded for ease of presentation.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and the Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Chilean pesos. Our consolidated financial statements reflect the results of our subsidiaries located in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, converted into Chilean pesos (our functional and presentation currency). IFRS requires assets and liabilities to be converted from the functional currency of our subsidiaries outside Chile to our reporting currency (Chilean peso) at the end of period exchange rates and income and expense accounts to be converted at the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which income or expense is recognized for subsidiaries that do not operate in hyperinflationary economies.
In the case of our Argentine subsidiaries, which have been operating in an environment that during 2023, 2024 and 2025 was classified as hyperinflationary, the conversion criteria from the functional currency of those subsidiaries to our presentation currency is the following:
| ● | Statement of financial position (balance sheet): Non-monetary items are expressed in the current currency at the balance sheet date and translated to the presentation currency of the closing exchange rate. Losses and gains are included in net earnings (fiscal year income). |
| ● | Income statement: Income statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period, using the variation of the general price index from the date on which the expenses and revenues were accrued, and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate. |
| ● | Cash flow statement: Cash flow statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate. |
For more information on the effects of the hyperinflationary environment in Argentina see note 2.5 of our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Unless otherwise specified, our financial data is presented herein in Chilean pesos.

6
| ● | Geopolitical and other challenges and uncertainties globally could have a material adverse effect on the global economy and our business. |
You should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information set forth in this annual report on Form 20-F. Any of the following risks, if they materialize, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.
Risks Relating to our Company
We rely heavily on our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company, which has substantial influence over our business and operations; and changes in this relationship may adversely affect our business.
The Coca-Cola Company has substantial influence on the conduct of our business. The interests of The Coca-Cola Company may be different from the interests of our other shareholders. The largest part of our net sales for 2024 and 2025, respectively, were derived from the distribution of soft drinks and other beverages bearing trademarks owned by The Coca-Cola Company. In addition, The Coca-Cola Company currently owns, directly or through its subsidiaries, 14.65% of our Series A shares (representing 7.33% of our total shares) and benefits from certain rights under a shareholders’ agreement.
We produce, market and distribute Coca-Cola products through standard bottler agreements between our bottler subsidiaries and The Coca-Cola Company. Under these bottler agreements, we are prohibited from producing, bottling, distributing, or selling any products that could be substituted for, be confused with or be considered an imitation of soft drinks or other beverages and products under the trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company.
The Coca-Cola Company has the ability to exert a substantial influence on the business of the Company through its rights under the bottler agreements. The Coca-Cola Company also monitors our prices and has the right to review and approve our marketing, operating and advertising plans. These factors may have an impact on our profit margins, which could adversely affect our net income and results of operations.
Marketing campaigns for Coca-Cola products are designed and controlled by The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company also makes significant contributions to our marketing expenses, although it is not required to contribute a particular amount. Accordingly, The Coca-Cola Company may discontinue or reduce such contribution at any time.
We depend on The Coca-Cola Company to renew our bottler agreements, which are subject to termination by The Coca-Cola Company in the event we default or upon expiration of their respective terms. We currently are party to four bottler agreements: one agreement for Chile, which expires in January 2027, one agreement for Brazil, which expires in October 2027, one agreement for Argentina, which expires in September 2027, and one agreement for Paraguay, which expires in March 2028. We cannot provide any assurance that our bottler agreements will be maintained or renewed upon their termination. Even if they are renewed, we cannot provide any assurance that renewal will be granted on the same terms as those currently in effect. Termination, non-extension or non-renewal of any of our bottler agreements would prevent us from selling Coca-Cola trademark beverages in the affected territory, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
In addition, any acquisition we make of bottlers of Coca-Cola products in other territories may require, among other things, the consent of The Coca-Cola Company under bottler agreements to which such other bottlers are subject. We cannot assure you that The Coca-Cola Company will consent to any future geographic expansion of our Coca-Cola beverage business.
We cannot assure you that our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company will not deteriorate or otherwise undergo significant changes in the future. If such changes do occur, our operations and financial results and condition could be materially affected.
7
Our business is subject to regulation, which is complex and subject to change.
We are subject to local regulations in each of the territories in which we operate. The main areas of regulation are water, environment, labor, taxation, health, consumer protection, advertising, social security, and antitrust. Regulation could affect our ability to set prices for our products. The adoption of new laws or regulations or a stricter interpretation or enforcement thereof in the countries in which we operate may increase our operating costs or impose restrictions on our operations which, in turn, may adversely affect our financial condition, business and results. Further changes in current regulations may result in increased compliance costs, which may have an adverse effect on our results or financial condition.
In the past, voluntary price restraints or statutory price controls have been imposed in several of the countries in which we operate. Currently, there are no restraints or price controls applicable to our products in any of the territories in which we operate. However, we cannot assure you that government authorities in any country in which we operate will not impose statutory price controls, or that we will not be requested to impose voluntary price restraints in the future. The potential imposition of restraints or price controls in the future may have an adverse effect on our results and financial condition. Additionally, increases in minimum wages, as well as changes in the interpretation of labor laws and regulations, may also have an adverse effect on our results and financial condition.
Our business is subject to increasing environmental regulation, which may result in increases in our operating costs or adverse changes in consumer demand.
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations in the countries where we operate, which apply to our products, containers and activities. If these environmental laws and regulations are strengthened or newly established in jurisdictions in which we conduct our business, we may be required to incur considerable expenses in order to comply with such laws and regulations. We are also subject to uncertainty regarding the interpretation of the environmental laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate, and any ambiguity or uncertainty regarding the interpretation or application of regulations can result in increased production costs or penalties for non-compliance, which are difficult to predict. Such increased expenses may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. To the extent we determine that it is not financially sound for us to continue to comply with such laws and regulations, we may have to curtail or discontinue our activities in the affected business areas.
In addition, concerns over the environmental impact of plastic may reduce the consumption of our products sold in plastic bottles or result in additional taxes that could adversely affect consumer demand. Additionally, new laws and regulations on waste management and extended liability of the producer of plastic bottles may also have an adverse effect on our results and financial condition.
The beverage business environment is changing rapidly, including as a result of increased health and environmental concerns, such as epidemic diseases, single use packaging, and plastic bottles pollution, and if we do not address evolving consumer product and shopping preferences, our business could suffer.
The beverage business environment in our territories is dynamic and constantly evolving rapidly as a result of, among other things, changes in consumer preferences, including changes based on health and nutrition considerations, epidemic diseases, single use packaging, and plastic bottles pollution. Changes in consumer lifestyles; concerns regarding location of origin or source of ingredients and raw materials, and the environmental and sustainability impact of the product manufacturing process; consumer shopping patterns; consumer emphasis on transparency related to our products and packaging; are affecting the beverages industry. If we are unable to successfully adapt in this new environment, our participation in the sales of beverages and financial results in general would be negatively affected.
Increased concern about the health effects of sugar and other sweeteners in beverages could result in changes to the beverage business.
Consumers, public health officials and government agencies are increasingly concerned with public health consequences associated with obesity, particularly among young people. Additionally, some researchers, health advocates and dietary guidelines are encouraging consumers to reduce consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and beverages sweetened with nutritive or alternative sweeteners. Increasing public concern about these issues, the possibility of taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages or other sweeteners, additional governmental regulations concerning the marketing, labeling, packaging or sale of our beverages and any negative publicity resulting from actual or threatened legal actions against beverage companies relating to the marketing, labeling or sale of beverages may reduce demand for our products or increase the cost, which could adversely affect our profitability.
8
Our business is highly competitive, including with respect to price competition, which may adversely affect our net profits and margins.
The beverage business is highly competitive in each of the territories in which we operate. We compete with bottlers of local and regional brands, including low cost beverages and Pepsi products. This competition in each of the regions where we operate is likely to continue, and we cannot assure you that it will not intensify in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we do not continuously strengthen our capabilities in marketing and innovation to maintain our brand loyalty and market share, our business and results of operations could be negatively affected.
A devaluation of the currencies of the countries where we have our operations against the Chilean peso could negatively affect our results as reported in Chilean pesos.
The Company reports its results in Chilean pesos, while a large part of its revenues comes from countries that use other currencies. During 2024 and 2025, 28% and 29% of the Company’s net sales were generated in Brazil, 25% and 22% in Argentina, and 9% and 9% in Paraguay, respectively. If the currencies of these countries depreciate against the Chilean peso, this would have a negative effect on the results and financial condition of the Company, which are reported in Chilean pesos.
If our raw material costs increase, including as a result of U.S. dollar/local currency exchange risk, price volatility and inflation, our profitability may be affected.
In addition to water, our most significant raw materials are (1) concentrate, which we acquire from affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company, (2) sweeteners and (3) packaging materials. Our most significant packaging raw material costs arise from the purchase of resin and plastic preforms to make plastic bottles and from the purchase of finished plastic bottles, the prices of which are related to crude oil prices and global resin supply. Prices for concentrate are determined by an agreement between the Company and The Coca-Cola Company. The prices for our remaining raw materials are driven by market prices and local availability, the imposition of import duties and restrictions, fluctuations in exchange rates and inflation. We may not be successful in negotiating or implementing measures to mitigate the negative effect that increased raw material costs may have in the pricing of our products or our results.
We purchase our raw materials from both domestic and international suppliers, some of which must be approved by The Coca-Cola Company, which may limit the number of suppliers available to us. Because the prices of our main raw materials –except for concentrate– are denominated in U.S. dollars, we are subject to local currency risk with respect to each of our operations. If any of the Chilean peso, Brazilian real, Argentine peso, or Paraguayan guaraní were to depreciate significantly against the U.S. dollar, the cost of certain raw materials in our respective territories could rise significantly, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that these currencies will not lose value against the U.S. dollar in the future. Additionally, some raw material prices are subject to high volatility, which could also have a material adverse effect on our profitability. The supply or cost of specific raw materials could be adversely affected by domestic or global price changes, strikes, weather conditions, taxes, inflation, governmental controls, pandemics, or other factors. Any sustained interruption in the supply of these raw materials or any significant increase in their price could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
Negative information about our products or similar products on social media and similar platforms could adversely affect our reputation.
Negative or inaccurate information concerning us or The Coca-Cola trademarks may be posted on social media and similar platforms of Internet-based communications at any time. This information may affect our reputation and adversely impact our business and results of operations.
Instability in the supply of utility services and oil prices may adversely impact our results of operations.
Our operations depend on a stable supply of utilities and fuel in the countries where we operate. Electrical power outages could lead to increased energy prices and possible service interruptions. We cannot assure you that in the future we will not experience energy interruptions that could materially and adversely affect our business. In addition, a significant increase in energy prices would raise our costs, which could materially impact our results of operations. Fluctuations in oil prices have adversely affected our cost of energy and transportation in the regions where we operate, and we expect that they will continue to do so in the future. We cannot assure you that fuel prices will not increase in the future, and that such an increase would not have a significant effect on our financial performance.
9
Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of our products.
The countries in which we operate may adopt significant advertising restrictions as well as additional product labeling or warning requirements relating to the chemical content or perceived adverse health consequences of certain of our Coca-Cola products or other products. These requirements may adversely affect sales of our products and our results of operations. In addition, given the uncertainty surrounding the interpretation of these requirements, we may occasionally be subject to costs and penalties associated with non-compliance, which are difficult to predict.
Water scarcity, poor water quality and energy shortages could adversely impact our production costs and capacity.
Water is the main ingredient in substantially all of our products. It is also a limited resource in many parts of the world, facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, increasing demand for food and other consumer and industrial products whose manufacturing processes require water, increasing pollution and poor management, lack of physical or financial access to water, sociopolitical tensions due to lack of public infrastructure in certain areas of the world and the effects of climate change. As demand for water continues to increase around the world, and as the quality of available water deteriorates, we may incur increasing production costs or face capacity constraints and the possibility of reputational damage, which could adversely affect our profitability. We obtain water from various sources in our territories, including springs, wells, rivers and municipal and state water companies pursuant to concessions granted by governments in our various territories. Water scarcity or changes in governmental regulations aimed at rationing water in the regions where we operate could affect our water supply and therefore our business.
Some of the countries in which we operate have experienced prolonged periods of drought in the past. In the event that these drought periods occur and are prolonged over time, the costs of our operations could be significantly affected due to water scarcity and consequent power shortages. Similarly, in the event that a drought situation worsens, the authorities could be forced to issue new laws and regulations that could limit or restrict the sale of our products, which could adversely affect our financial results.
We also anticipate future discussions on new regulations in countries where we operate relating to future ownership and use of water resources, including possible nationalization, and stricter controls on water usage. In the event that these discussions lead to relevant changes in regulations regarding the ownership or use of water resources, the costs of our operation could be significantly affected.
We cannot assure you that water will be available in sufficient quantities and/or quality to meet our future production needs or will prove sufficient to meet our current water supply needs.
Climate change and legal or regulatory responses thereto may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
There is increasing concern that a gradual increase in global average temperatures due to increased concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is causing significant changes in weather patterns around the globe and an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. Decreased agricultural productivity in certain regions of the world as a result of changing weather patterns may limit the availability or increase the cost of key agricultural commodities, such as sugarcane, and corn, which are important sources of ingredients for our products. Climate change may also exacerbate extreme weather, resulting in water scarcity or flooding, and cause a further deterioration of water quality in affected regions, which could limit water availability for our operations. Increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions could also impair production capabilities, disrupt our supply chain or impact demand for our products. Increasing concern over climate change also may result in additional legal or regulatory requirements designed to reduce or mitigate the effects of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions on the environment and/or may result in increased disclosure obligations. Increased energy or compliance costs and expenses due to increased legal or regulatory requirements may cause disruptions in, or an increase in the costs associated with, the manufacturing and distribution of our beverage products. The effects of climate change and legal or regulatory initiatives to address climate change could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
Our ability to achieve our environmental, social and governance goals are subject to risks, many of which are outside of our control, and our reputation and brands could be harmed if we fail to meet such goals.
Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny from stakeholders related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters, including practices and disclosures related to environmental stewardship; social responsibility; diversity, equity and inclusion; and workplace rights. Our ability to achieve our ESG goals and objectives and to report our progress accurately and transparently, presents numerous operational, financial, legal and other risks. If we are unable to meet our ESG goals or evolving stakeholder expectations and industry standards, or if we are perceived to have not responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, our reputation, and therefore our ability to sell products, could be negatively impacted.
10
In addition, in recent years, investor advocacy groups and certain institutional investors have placed increasing importance on ESG matters. If, as a result of their assessment of our ESG practices, certain investors are unsatisfied with our actions or progress, they may reconsider their investment in our Company.
The imposition of exchange controls could restrict the entry and exit of funds to and from the countries in which we operate, which could significantly limit our financial capacity.
The imposition of exchange controls in the countries in which we operate could affect our ability to repatriate profits, which could significantly limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. Additionally, it may limit the ability of our foreign subsidiaries to finance payments of U.S. dollar denominated liabilities required by foreign creditors and suppliers.
Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain brand image and product quality.
Our beverage business is highly dependent on maintaining the reputation of our products in the countries where we operate. If we fail to maintain high standards for product quality, our reputation and ability to remain a distributor of The Coca-Cola Company beverages in the countries where we operate could be jeopardized. Negative publicity or incidents related to our products may reduce their demand and could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. If any of our products is defective or found to contain contaminants, or causes injury or illness, we may be subject to legal claims filed by consumers, product recalls, business interruptions and/or other liabilities.
We take significant precautions in order to minimize any risk of defects or contamination in our products. These precautions include quality-control programs for raw materials, the production process and our final products. We have also established procedures to correct as soon as practicable any problems that are detected. However, the precautions and procedures we implement may not be sufficient to protect us from potential incidents.
Trademark infringement could adversely impact our beverage business.
A significant portion of our sales derives from sales of beverages branded with trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company, as well as other trademarks. If other parties attempt to misappropriate trademarks we use, we may be unable to protect these trademarks. The maintenance of the reputation of these brands is essential for the future success of our beverage business. Misappropriation of trademarks we use, or challenges thereto, could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
We may not be able to successfully implement our expansion strategies or achieve the expected operational efficiencies or synergies from potential acquisitions.
We have, and we may continue to, acquire businesses and pursue other strategic transactions as part of our expansion strategies. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in identifying opportunities and consummating acquisitions and other strategic transactions on favorable terms or at all. These types of transactions may involve additional risks to our Company, including operating in geographic regions or with beverage categories in which we have less or no operating history. Depending on the size and timing of an acquisition or transaction, we may be required to raise future financing to consummate the acquisition or transaction. Moreover, even if we are able to consummate a transaction, acquisitions and other strategic opportunities may involve significant risks and uncertainties.
Key elements to achieving the benefits and expected synergies of our acquisitions are the integration of acquired businesses’ operations into our own in a timely and effective manner and the retention of qualified and experienced key personnel. We may incur in unforeseen liabilities in connection with acquiring, taking control of, or managing beverage operations and other businesses and may encounter difficulties and unforeseen or additional costs in restructuring and integrating them into our operating structure. These difficulties include distraction of management from current operations, difficulties in integration with our existing business and technology, greater than expected liabilities and expenses, inadequate return on capital, and unidentified issues not discovered in our pre-acquisition investigations and evaluations of those strategies and acquisitions. We cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful or completed as expected by us, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to do so.
In addition, mergers and acquisitions may require prior approval by local regulators. We cannot assure you that such regulators will grant their approval for all transactions involving Andina.
11
Weather conditions or natural disasters may adversely affect our business.
Lower temperatures and higher rainfall may negatively impact consumer patterns, which may result in lower per capita consumption of our beverages. Additionally, adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods, may affect road infrastructure in the countries in which we operate and limit our ability to sell and distribute our products.
Our business is subject to risks arising from pandemics.
Pandemics pose the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers and other partners may be limited or prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Additionally, we may experience raw material supply disruptions.
Pandemics and related government measures could adversely affect our business and results of operations, potentially materially.
Our insurance coverage may not adequately cover losses resulting from the risks for which we are insured.
We maintain insurance for our principal facilities and other assets. Our insurance coverage protects us in the event we suffer certain losses resulting from fire, terrorism and natural disasters, such as earthquake and floods, or from business interruptions caused by such events. In addition, we maintain other insurance policies, including coverage for general liability, product contamination, and cyberattacks, among others. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or will provide adequate compensation for losses that we may incur.
If we are unable to protect our information systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including over the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information. In particular, we depend on our information technology infrastructure for digital marketing activities and electronic communications among us and our clients, suppliers and also among our subsidiaries and facilities. Security breaches or infrastructure flaws can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. If we are unable to prevent such breaches or flaws, our operations could be disrupted, or we may suffer financial damage or loss because of lost or misappropriated information.
Cyber threats are rapidly evolving and the means for obtaining access to information in digital and other storage media are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Coca-Cola Andina has recognized cyber risk as a threat to our business and to mitigate it, it has implemented a cybersecurity strategy which, through its regulations, processes and measures aims to increase the level of cyber resilience of the Company.
Despite the measures and systems that have been implemented by the Company, as cyber threats evolve, change and become more difficult to detect and successfully defend against, therefore one or more cyber-attacks might defeat our or a third-party service provider’s security measures in the future and obtain personal information of customers or employees. Employee error or other irregularities may also defeat of security measures and result in a breach of information systems. Because information systems are critical to many of the Company’s operating activities, our business may be impacted by system shutdowns, service disruptions or cybersecurity incidents. These incidents may be caused by failures during routine operations such as system upgrades or by user errors, as well as network or hardware failures, malicious or disruptive software, unintentional or malicious actions of employees or contractors, cyberattacks by hackers, criminal groups or nation-state organizations (which may include social engineering, business email compromise, cyber extortion, denial of service, or attempts to exploit vulnerabilities), geopolitical events, natural disasters, failures or impairments of telecommunications networks, or other catastrophic events. If our information systems or third-party information systems on which we rely suffer severe damage, disruption or shutdown and our business continuity plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, we could experience delays in reporting our results, and we may lose revenue and profits as a result of our inability to timely manufacture, distribute, invoice and collect payments for finished products.
Moreover, hardware, software or applications we use may have inherent defects of design, manufacture or operations or could be inadvertently or intentionally implemented or used in a manner that could compromise information security. A security breach and loss of information may not be discovered for a significant period of time after it occurs.
12
While we have no knowledge of a material security breach to date, any compromise of data security could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws or standards, the loss of valuable business data, or a disruption of our business. A security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information could give rise to unwanted media attention, materially damage our customer relationships and reputation, and result in fines or liabilities, which may not be covered by our insurance policies.
If we fail to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws, we could be subject to adverse publicity, government enforcement actions and/or private litigation, which could negatively affect our business and operating results.
In the ordinary course of our business, we receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals (“personal data”), primarily employees, former employees, suppliers and consumers with whom we interact. As a result, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to personal data. These laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted in any jurisdictions in which Andina operates and at any time. These laws impose operational requirements for companies receiving or processing personal data, and many provide for significant penalties for noncompliance. Also, new standards or regulations over data security or the handling of personal information in the countries where we operate may increase our costs in order to comply with those potential regulations and have required and may in the future require costly changes to our business practices and information security systems, policies, procedures and practices.
Perception of risk in emerging economies may impede our access to international capital markets, hinder our ability to finance our operations and adversely affect our financial performance.
International investors, as a general rule, consider the countries in which we operate to be emerging market economies. Consequently, economic conditions and the market for securities of emerging market countries influence investors’ perceptions of Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay and their evaluation of securities of companies located in these countries.
During periods of heightened investor concern regarding emerging market economies, in particular in recent years Argentina, the countries where we operate may experience significant outflows of U.S. dollars.
In addition, during these periods companies based in the countries where we operate have faced higher costs for raising funds, both domestically and abroad, as well as limited access to international capital markets, which have negatively affected the prices of the aforementioned countries’ securities. Although economic conditions are different in each of the emerging-market countries, investors’ reactions to developments in one of these countries may affect the securities of issuers in the others.
Our business may be adversely affected if we fail to renew collective bargaining labor agreements on satisfactory terms or experience strikes or other labor unrest.
A substantial portion of our employees is covered by several collective bargaining labor agreements. Some of these agreements expire every year. Our inability to renegotiate these agreements on satisfactory terms could cause work stoppages and interruptions, which may adversely impact our operations. Changes to the terms and conditions of existing agreements could also increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our operational efficiency. We experience periodic strikes and other forms of labor unrest through the ordinary course of business. We cannot assure you that labor interruptions or other labor unrest will not occur in the future. If we experience strikes, work stoppages or other forms of labor unrest at any of our production facilities, our ability to supply beverages to customers could be impaired, which would reduce our net operating revenues and could expose us to customer claims.
Social and political instability in the countries where we operate, including protests, civil unrest or significant policy changes, could disrupt operations and adversely affect our financial results.
Recent global trends, including widespread electoral shifts and the rise of populist and far-right movements in Europe, the Americas and other regions, have weakened traditional coalitions and increased social polarization. Greater connectivity and access to information through social media and the internet have empowered citizens, making social movements and unrest easier to organize and escalate. In addition, factors such as economic inequality, abrupt policy changes, and perceived corruption can further intensify social tensions. In the countries where we operate, these dynamics may lead to protests, strikes, civil unrest, or regulatory uncertainty, which could disrupt production and distribution, affect supply chains, increase costs, and materially and negatively impact our business and financial results.
13
If we were to become subject to adverse judgments or determinations in legal proceedings to which we are, or may become, a party, our future profitability could suffer through significant liabilities, a reduction of sales, increased costs or damage to our reputation.
In the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations and governmental and administrative proceedings, some of which are or may be significant. Adverse judgments or determinations in one or more of these proceedings could require us to change the way we do business or use substantial resources in adhering to the settlements. These could have a material adverse effect on our business, including, among other consequences, by significantly increasing the costs required to operate our business. Ineffective communications during or after these proceedings could amplify the negative effects, if any, of these proceedings on our reputation and may result in a negative market impact on the price of our securities. We evaluate these litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and/or disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from our current assessments and estimates.
In addition, during recent years, the Company has been subject to judicial proceedings and administrative investigations associated with alleged monopolistic practices. Although these proceedings and investigations have not resulted in any convictions or penalties for the Company, we cannot assure that this will not occur in the future.
Antitrust complaints may be submitted in Chile without any prior admissibility test and, as a result, we cannot predict whether unsubstantiated claims against us will be filed. In addition, the Economic National Public Prosecutors’ Officer (Fiscalía Nacional Económica or FNE) may initiate ex officio investigations involving our business to identify potential risks of antitrust infringement. Possible sanctions in matters of competition could have an adverse effect on our business.
Adverse judgments or determinations in tax proceedings to which we are, or may become, a party, may have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
For further information, see “Risks Relating to Brazil – Brazil is a jurisdiction characterized by a high level of litigation. Within such litigation, tax-related matters may result in significant financial and reputational exposure.”
The countries in which we operate may adopt new tax laws or modify existing laws or their interpretations, to increase taxes applicable to our business or reduce existing tax incentives.
We cannot assure you that any governmental authority in any country where we operate will not impose new taxes or increase the taxes on our products in the future. The imposition of new taxes, the increases in taxes or the reduction of tax incentives may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results.
New income, sales, use, or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be enacted at any time in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any new taxes could adversely affect our domestic and international business operations and our business and financial performance. Existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. These events could require us to pay additional tax amounts on a prospective or retroactive basis. They could require us to pay fines and/or penalties and interest for past amounts deemed to be due. Additionally, new or modified tax laws could increase our compliance, operating and other costs, as well as the costs of our platform. Any or all of these events could adversely impact our business and financial performance.
For further information, see also “Risks Relating to Brazil – Changes in tax laws may increase our tax burden and reduce tax incentives and, as a result, negatively affect our profitability.”
If we do not successfully comply with laws and regulations designed to combat corruption in countries in which we sell our products, we could become subject to fines, penalties or other regulatory sanctions, and our sales and profitability could suffer.
Although we are committed to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner in compliance with local and international statutory requirements and standards applicable to our business, there is a risk that our employees or representatives may take actions that violate applicable laws and regulations that generally prohibit the making of improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business, including laws relating to the 1997 OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions or the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
14
We may not be able to recruit or retain key personnel.
The implementation of our strategic business plans could be undermined by a failure to recruit or retain key personnel or the unexpected loss of senior employees, including those in acquired companies. We face various challenges inherent in the management of a large number of employees over diverse geographical regions. Key employees may choose to leave their employment for a variety of reasons, including reasons beyond our control. The impact of the departure of key employees cannot be determined and may depend on, among other things, our ability to recruit other individuals of similar experience and skill. It is not certain that we will be able to attract or retain key employees and successfully manage them, which could disrupt our business and have an unfavorable material effect on our financial position, income from operations and competitive position.
Geopolitical and other challenges and uncertainties globally could have a material adverse effect on the global economy and our business.
In addition to the significant macroeconomic challenges posed by health concerns, we could be exposed to experience negative impacts to our businesses, financial condition and results of operations as a result of geopolitical and other challenges and uncertainties globally, including inflation, increase in interest rates, increased unemployment, foreign exchange rates and recession or economic slowdown, changing policy positions or priorities. Currently, the world economy is facing several exceptional challenges.
Geopolitical and economic risks have also increased over the past few years as a result of trade tensions between the United States and China and other countries, Brexit, and the rise of populism and tensions in South America and Middle East. In addition, the war in Ukraine has had a significant impact on the global economy, affecting energy markets, supply chains and the prices of certain raw materials. Growing tensions, including those in the Caribbean between the United States and Cuba and Venezuela, may lead, among others, to a deglobalization of the world economy, an increase in protectionism or barriers to immigration, a general reduction of international trade in goods and services and a reduction in the integration of financial markets, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Chile
Our growth and profitability depend significantly on economic conditions in Chile.
Our operations in Chile represented 42.4% and 42.7% of our assets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and 38.6% and 39.4% of our net sales for 2024 and 2025, respectively. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, and results of operations depend, to a considerable extent, upon economic conditions in Chile.
International and local economic conditions may adversely affect the Chilean economy, and unfavorable general economic conditions could negatively affect the affordability of and demand for some of our products in the country. In difficult economic conditions, consumers may seek to reduce discretionary spending by forgoing purchases of our products or buying low cost brands offered by competitors. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot assure you that the future development of the Chilean economy will not impair our ability to successfully carry out our business plan or materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
A severe natural disaster, such as earthquake or tsunami or wildfires, in Chile could adversely affect the Chilean economy and our network infrastructure.
Chile lies on the Nazca tectonic plate, one of the world’s most seismically active regions. Chile has been adversely affected by powerful earthquakes in the past.
A severe earthquake, tsunami and/or wildfires which in Chile in the future could have an adverse impact on the Chilean economy and on our business, financial condition and results of operation, including our production and logistics network.
Political developments in Chile could result in instability.
We cannot assure that measures taken by the government impacting private investment, such as higher taxation, will not be implemented, and we cannot assure whether the Chilean government will continue to pursue business-friendly and open-market economic policies that stimulate economic growth and stability. Further, there can be no assurance that future developments in or affecting the Chilean political landscape, including economic, social or political instability in Chile, will not materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
15
In the presidential elections held in December 2025, José Antonio Kast was elected as the new President of Chile. Although the market anticipates that the upcoming change in administration could lead to the implementation of more business‑friendly policies that favor the private sector and investment, we cannot assure you that Chile’s economic policy will undergo substantive changes or that any such changes will materialize as expected. The new government may face political, legislative, or social constraints that hinder the implementation of its agenda, or it may choose to adopt measures that are not as favorable to the business environment. In such events, our operations and financial results could be adversely affected.
The Chilean peso is subject to depreciation and volatility, which could adversely affect our business.
The Chilean peso has been subject to large nominal devaluations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. The main drivers of exchange rate volatility in past years were the significant fluctuations of commodity prices, as well as general uncertainty and trade imbalances in the global markets. During 2025, the Chilean peso had an average value of 951 Ch$/US$, reaching an average of 915 Ch$/US$ during the month of December, and ending the year at 907 Ch$/US$.
A significant part of the raw materials used by the Company are in U.S. dollars, therefore a devaluation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar can affect our costs and margins in a significant way.
In addition, as we report our results of operations in Chilean pesos, fluctuations in the value of the Chilean peso versus the Brazilian real, the Argentine peso and the Paraguayan guaraní could also impact our reported performance in Chilean pesos.
Inflation in Chile and government measures to curb inflation may disrupt our business and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The measures taken by the Central Bank in the past to control inflation have often included maintaining a conservative monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and economic growth. Inflation, measures to combat inflation, and public speculation about possible additional actions by the government have also contributed in the past to economic uncertainty in Chile and to heightened volatility in its securities markets. Periods of higher inflation may also slow the growth rate of the Chilean economy, which could lead to reduced demand for our products and decreased sales. Inflation is also likely to increase some of our costs and expenses, given that the majority of our supply contracts in Chile are UF-denominated or are indexed to the Chilean consumer price index. We cannot assure you that, under competitive pressure, we would be able to carry out price increases, without which our operating margins and operating income could suffer. Additionally, an important part of our financial debt in Chile is UF-denominated, and therefore the value of the debt reflects any increase in the inflation in Chile.
Risks Relating to Brazil
Our business operations in Brazil are dependent on economic conditions in Brazil.
Our operations in Brazil represented 29.0% and 31.1% of our assets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and 28.2% and 29.2% of our net sales for 2024 and 2025, respectively. Because demand for soft drinks and beverage products is usually correlated to economic conditions prevailing in the relevant local market, developments in economic conditions in Brazil, and measures taken by the Brazilian government, have had and are expected to continue to have an impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Brazilian economy has historically been characterized by unstable economic cycles and interventions by the Brazilian government. Brazilian GDP grew by 3.2% in 2023, 3.4% in 2024 and 2.2% in 2025 according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística or “IBGE”). The Brazilian government has often changed monetary, taxation and other policies to influence the course of Brazil’s economy. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by, among others, the following factors:
| ● | expansion or contraction of the Brazilian economy; |
| ● | exchange rate fluctuations; |
| ● | high inflation rates; |
| ● | changes in fiscal or tax policies; |
| ● | changes in monetary policy, including an increase in interest rates; |
16
| ● | exchange control policies and restrictions on remittances abroad; |
| ● | investment levels; |
| ● | liquidity of domestic capital and credit markets; |
| ● | employment levels and labor and social security regulations; |
| ● | energy or water shortages or rationalization; |
| ● | changes in environmental regulation; |
| ● | government restrictions in response to any pandemic and the capacity of authorities to keep the pandemic under control; |
| ● | social and political instability; |
| ● | uncertainty related to the government and the policies it may adopt; and |
| ● | other developments in or affecting Brazil. |
The Brazilian economy is also affected by international economic and market conditions in general, especially economic and market conditions in the United States, the European Union and China.
Changes in tax laws may increase our tax burden and reduce tax incentives and, as a result, negatively affect our profitability.
The Brazilian government regularly implements changes to tax regimes that may increase our and our customers’ tax burdens. These changes include modifications to tax rates, tax incentives and operating mechanics in the applicability of such taxes. In late 2023, the Brazilian government approved the tax reform on consumption (through Constitutional Amendment No. 132/2023), later regulated by Complementary Law No. 214/2025), of which one of the main objectives was to simplify the taxes levied on consumption, reducing distortions and enhancing transparency for businesses operating in Brazil.
Brazil’s current tax system is considered one of the most complex in the world, with excess legislation, multiple tax regimes, complex and numerous ancillary obligations and high compliance costs.
By means of this tax reform, the main taxes currently levied on consumption have been reorganized into new taxes: (i) contribution on goods, rights and services (the “CBS”); (ii) tax on goods, rights and services (the “IBS”); and (iii) selective tax (the “IS”), which will be implemented during a transition period (from January 2026 to December 2032), until the new tax regime comes completely into effect.
The CBS, a federal contribution, and the IBS, a state and municipal tax, form a Dual-VAT model featuring broad incidence (i.e., the model taxes goods, services and rights), full non-cumulativeness (i.e. there is a broad right to tax credits which can be applied against future amounts due under the same tax) and the application of particular rates based on the destination of goods and services.
The IS is a federal tax levied on specific goods and services considered to be harmful to health or to the environment. Sugary drinks (classified on Mercosur Code (NCM) 2202.10.00), which we currently bottle and distribute, are subject to IS.
A key factor that may impact our profitability is the expiration of several tax incentives on which we currently rely. The few incentives of CBS and IBS to be granted are those specifically outlined in the Federal Constitution.
Under the scope of the transition period, the tax reform establishes a timeline for the gradual phase-out of ICMS tax burden and its tax incentives from January 2029 to December 2032. Furthermore, the Tax Benefits Compensation Fund (“FCBF”) was created to mitigate the effects of the reduction of the tax incentives. However, the right to FCBF resources depends on the accomplishment of certain requirements, such as the benefit having been granted until May 31, 2023, for a specific period and under specific conditions.
Since 2018, the Brazilian government has gradually reduced the IPI rates applicable to soft drinks concentrate. These changes have negatively affected our operations, since the reduction in the rates under the IPI tax on soft drinks concentrate also reduces the presumed tax credit derived from purchases of this concentrate from the Manaus Free Trade Zone that currently benefits RJR and the soft drinks industry as a whole.
17
As of January 1, 2027, IPI rates will be reduced to zero for goods: (i) manufactured outside the Manaus Free Trade Zone and (ii) manufactured in the Manaus Free Trade Zone that are subject to an IPI rate lower than 6.5%, as provided in the current Table of Incidence of the Tax on Industrialized Products (TIPI). Goods manufactured in the Manaus Free Trade Zone that are subject to an IPI rate equal to or higher than 6.5% will maintain their current IPI rates, as provided in the current TIPI.
Additionally, regarding the tax on income, the following other noteworthy law has been recently approved and may impact returns on investment: Law No. 15,270 dated November 26, 2025 establishing that dividends paid by Brazilian companies to non-resident investors will be subject to withholding income tax at a 10% rate.
In addition, the Brazilian beverage industry experiences unfair competition arising from tax evasion, which is primarily due to the high level of taxes on beverage products in Brazil. An increase in taxes may lead to an increase in tax evasion, which could result in unfair pricing practices in the industry.
Brazil is a jurisdiction characterized by a high level of litigation. Within such litigation, tax-related matters may result in significant financial and reputational exposure.
Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. (“RJR”), the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, is currently a party to numerous judicial proceedings of various natures. The aggregate amount involved in such litigation currently amounts to approximately R$7,900 million. As part of these proceedings, the following tax-related matters stand out due to the size of the amounts claimed by adverse parties:
Our subsidiary RJR is involved in several tax proceedings in which the Brazilian federal tax authorities allege the existence of liabilities related to value added tax on industrialized products for an approximate total amount of R$3,625 million. These proceedings are at different administrative and judicial stages. We disagree with the Brazilian tax authorities’ position and believe that RJR is entitled to claim Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI) tax credits in connection with its purchases of certain exempt raw materials from suppliers located in the Manaus Free Trade Zone. We believe that the Brazilian tax authorities’ claims are without merit. Our external Brazilian counsel has advised us that it believes that RJR’s likelihood of loss in most of these proceedings is classified as possible or remote. Despite the foregoing, the outcome of these claims is subject to uncertainty, and it is difficult to predict their final resolution or any other negative repercussions from this dispute with the Brazilian tax authorities to The Coca-Cola Company or its bottling companies in Brazil, including our Brazilian subsidiaries.
RJR is party in three tax proceedings in which the Brazilian federal tax authorities (RFB) are charging Corporate Income Taxes (CIT), plus penalties and interest, involving an approximate total amount of R$1,190 million. These proceedings are related to the calendar-years of 2014 to 2018 and result from the disallowance of expenses from the tax deduction of (i) goodwill paid and registered by RJR, mainly upon the acquisition of the investment in Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga (Ipiranga) in 2013, under the ground that the “real acquirer or investor” was a company located abroad (and not directly RJR); and (ii) interest expenses incurred by RJR under a loan agreement executed with Andina Bottling Investments to finance part of the purchase price paid to sellers of Ipiranga, arguing that such expenses were “unnecessary” to RJR. These proceedings were examined by the Administrative Tax Court (the “CARF”), second administrative level (appellate division of administrative court), which issued favorable decisions to RJR. CARF understood that the company complied with the legal requirements that authorize the goodwill deduction for tax purposes and determined the full cancelation of the debts charged by Brazilian federal tax authorities, mainly under the grounds that (i) the acquisition of Ipiranga was carried out between independent parties in accordance with the applicable law; (ii) all legal requirements established by the regime of Law N. 9,532/97 were observed; (iii) the goodwill registered by RJR was fully based on the expected future profitability of the acquired investment, which was demonstrated through technical valuation reports; (iv) there is no legal basis to support allegations of “real acquirer or investor” or other related grounds; and (v) the interest expenses incurred by RJR are normal and necessary expenses to its business activities and, therefore, should be qualified as deductible for tax purposes.
The National Treasury Attorney’s Office (the “PGFN”) was notified of these decisions and presented special appeals to the Higher Chamber of the Administrative Tax Court (the “CSRF”), third administrative level, in two tax proceedings related to the years of 2014 to 2016 involving an approximate total amount of R$ 745 million. The appeals filed by the PGFN were dismissed by a definitive decision, so that the favorable result to RJR is considered final, resulting in the full cancellation of the CIT debts. RJR is currently awaiting to be formally notified of the tax debts cancellation and its reflection in RFB’s system (including the remittance of the proceeding to RFB’s archive) which is expected to occur during 2026. The tax proceeding related to the calendar years of 2017 and 2018 (R$445 million) was remitted to PGFN after a decision that dismissed the merits of a Motion to Clarify presented to CARF. PGFN is also authorized to file a special appeal to CSRF in this case. However, we believe that any claim potentially presented by PGFN are without merit, as already recognized by final administrative decisions issued by CARF in the other cases referred above involving RJR.

Historically volatile political, social and economic conditions in Brazil could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Brazil’s political environment has historically influenced, and continues to influence, the performance of the country’s economy. Political crises have affected and continue to affect the confidence of investors and the general public, which have historically resulted in economic deceleration.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, from the Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores) was elected President of Brazil in October 2022 and took office in January 2023. A failure by the Brazilian government to implement necessary reforms may result in diminished confidence in the Brazilian government’s fiscal condition and budget, which could result in downgrades of Brazil’s sovereign foreign credit rating by credit rating agencies, negatively impact Brazil’s economy, lead to further depreciation of the real and an increase in inflation and interest rates, adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Brazil is scheduled to hold general elections on October 4, 2026, with a potential presidential runoff on October 25. Upcoming elections may increase political uncertainty and market volatility, and any change in economic policy priorities could adversely affect investor confidence, Brazil’s fiscal stability, inflation, interest rates, and, consequently, our business and results of operations.
Inflation and the Brazilian government’s measures to curb inflation, including by increasing interest rates, may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil.
Brazil has historically experienced high rates of inflation, including periods of hyperinflation before 1995. Several measures have been implemented by the Brazilian government in an effort to curb rising inflation, but we cannot predict whether these policies will be effective. According to the National Consumer Price Index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo, or “IPCA”), published by the IBGE), Brazilian annual rates of inflation for consumer prices were 4.6% in 2023, 4.8% in 2024 and 4.3% in 2025.
Inflationary pressures may result in governmental interventions in the economy, including policies that could adversely affect the general performance of the Brazilian economy, which, in turn, could adversely affect our business operations in Brazil. Inflation may also increase our costs and expenses, and we may be unable to transfer such costs to our customers, reducing our profit margins and net income. In addition, inflation could also affect us indirectly, as our customers may also be affected and have their financial capacity reduced. Any decrease in our net sales or net income, as well as any reduction in our financial performance, may also result in a reduction in our net operating margin. Our customers and suppliers may be affected by high inflation rates and such effects on our customers and suppliers may adversely affect us.
The Brazilian real is subject to depreciation and volatility, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Brazilian currency has been subject to significant fluctuations over the past three decades. Throughout this period, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly), exchange controls, dual exchange market and floating exchange rate systems. Although long-term devaluation of the real is generally related to the rate of inflation in Brazil, the devaluation of the real over shorter periods has resulted in significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Brazilian currency, the U.S. dollar and other currencies. The Brazilian real appreciated 8% in 2023, depreciated 22% in 2024 and appreciated 13% in 2025 compared to the closing exchange rate as of the end of the prior period for the U.S. dollar in nominal terms.
A significant part of the raw materials we use in Brazil are priced in U.S. dollars, so a depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar has a significant adverse effect in our costs and margins.
Any depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar could create additional inflationary pressure, which might result in the Brazilian government adopting restrictive policies to combat inflation. This could lead to increases in interest rates, which might negatively affect the Brazilian economy as a whole, as well as our results of operations, in addition to restricting our access to international financial markets. It also reduces the U.S. dollar value of our revenues. On the other hand, future appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar might result in the deterioration of Brazil’s current and capital accounts, as well as a weakening of Brazilian GDP growth derived from exports. We cannot assure you that the real will not again fluctuate significantly against the U.S. dollar in the future and, as a result, have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Argentina
Our business operations in Argentina are dependent on economic conditions in Argentina.
Our operations in Argentina represented 17.1% and 13.6% of our assets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and 24.8% and 22.2% of our net sales for 2024 and 2025, respectively. Developments in economic, political, regulatory and social conditions in Argentina, and measures taken by the Argentine government, have had and are expected to continue to have an impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Historically, the Argentine economy has experienced periods of high levels of instability and volatility, low or negative economic growth and high and variable inflation and devaluation levels. According to the National Statistics and Census Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos, or “INDEC”), Argentina’s real GDP decreased by 1.6% in 2023, decreased by 0.9% in 2024 and increased by 5.2% in 2025.
Argentine economic conditions are dependent on a variety of factors, including the following:
| ● | domestic production, international demand and prices for Argentina’s principal commodity exports; |
| ● | the competitiveness and efficiency of domestic industries and services; |
| ● | the stability and competitiveness of the Argentine peso against foreign currencies; |
| ● | the rate of inflation; |
| ● | the government’s fiscal deficits; |
| ● | the government’s public debt levels; |
| ● | government restrictions in response to any pandemic and the capacity of authorities to keep the pandemic under control; |
| ● | foreign and domestic investment and financing; and |
| ● | governmental policies and the legal and regulatory environment. |
Government policies and regulation—which at times have been implemented through informal measures and have been subject to radical shifts—that have had a significant impact on the Argentine economy in the past have included, among others: monetary policy, including exchange controls, capital controls, high interest rates and a variety of measures to curb inflation, restrictions on exports and imports, price controls, mandatory wage increases, taxation and government intervention in the private sector.
We cannot assure you that the future development of the Argentine economy will not impair our ability to successfully carry out our business plan or materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Argentine peso is subject to depreciation and volatility, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Fluctuations in the value of the peso continue to affect the Argentine economy. Since January 2002, the peso has experienced significant volatility, often following periods of high inflation and currency controls that artificially appreciated the value of the currency. Frequent devaluations have had an adverse effect on the ability of the Argentine government and Argentine companies to make timely payments on their foreign currency denominated obligations, have significantly reduced wages in real terms, and have negatively impacted the stability of businesses whose performance depends on the domestic market demand.
In an effort to reduce downward pressure on the value of the Argentine peso, the Argentine government has at times implemented policies aimed at maintaining the foreign currency reserves of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (“BCRA”), including measures that restrict the ability of private companies and individuals to purchase foreign currency. During 2025, the administration of President Milei announced plans to eliminate all foreign exchange restrictions. As of January 1, 2026, companies are permitted to remit dividends related to profits generated from financial statements closed in 2025.
20
In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Argentine peso depreciated 78%, 22% and 29%, respectively, compared to the closing exchange rate as of the end of the prior period for the U.S. dollar. A significant part of the raw materials used by the Company in Argentina are in U.S. dollars, so a devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar can affect our costs and margins in a significant way.
The depreciation of the Argentine peso may have a negative impact on the ability of certain Argentine businesses to service their foreign currency denominated debt, significantly reduce real wages and jeopardize the stability of businesses which success depends on domestic market demand. It may also, adversely affect the Argentine government’s ability to honor its foreign debt obligations. A significant appreciation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar also presents risks for the Argentine economy, including the possibility of a reduction in exports as a consequence of the loss of external competitiveness. Any such appreciation could also have a negative effect on economic growth and employment and reduce tax revenues.
Given the economic and political conditions in Argentina, we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, the value of the Argentine peso may depreciate or appreciate against the U.S. dollar, the euro or other foreign currencies. We cannot predict how these conditions will affect the consumption of our products. Moreover, we cannot predict whether the administration of President Javier Milei will be able to maintain its current monetary, fiscal, and exchange‑rate policies aimed at stabilizing the economy or what impact such policies could have on the value of the Argentine peso and, consequently, on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as on our ability to convert and transfer funds abroad in order to meet commercial or financial obligations.
Inflation in Argentina may adversely affect our operations, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Argentina has experienced high levels of inflation in recent decades. Historically, Argentina’s high inflation rates have resulted primarily from limited control over fiscal policy and the money supply. The country continues to face high inflationary pressures According to INDEC, the consumer price index (“CPI”) increased by 211.4% in 2023, while the wholesale price index (“WPI”) increased by 276.3%. In 2024, CPI increased by 117.8%, and WPI increased by 67.1%, according to INDEC. In 2025, INDEC reported a CPI increase of 31.5% and a WPI increase of 26.2%.
During 2023, 2024 and 2025, Argentina met the criteria to be considered a hyperinflationary economy under IAS 29, which include, among other factors, a cumulative three‑year inflation rate that approaches or exceeds 100%. Accordingly, IAS 29 must be applied to financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after July 1, 2018. IAS 29 also requires non-monetary assets and liabilities, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income to be restated in terms of a measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. IAS 29 also requires the use of a general price index to reflect changes in purchasing power. As a result, since July 2018, we have applied IAS 29 in the preparation of our financial statements and have reported the results of our operations in Argentina as if the economy had been hyperinflationary from January 1, 2018. In addition, the application of IAS 29, requires us to translate figures in Argentine pesos to Chilean pesos using the period closing exchange rate (instead of the average exchange rate), thus reducing our results of operations and net earnings. We cannot predict for how long Argentina will be considered a hyperinflationary economy and we will have to apply IAS 29 to the preparation of our financial statements.
The persistent inflationary environment in Argentina, which has led to the application of IAS 29, also has broader macroeconomic effects that may materially impact economic activity and our operations in the country.
In the past, inflation has materially undermined the Argentine economy and the government’s ability to generate conditions that foster economic growth. High inflation or a high level of price instability may materially and adversely affect the business volume of the financial system. This result, in turn, could adversely affect the level of economic activity and employment in the country.
High inflation also undermines Argentina’s foreign competitiveness and adversely affect economic activity, employment, real salaries, consumption and interest rates, thereby materially and adversely affecting economic activity and consumers’ income and their purchasing power, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Between 2007 and 2015, the INDEC, which is the only institution in Argentina with the statutory authority to produce official national statistics, experienced significant institutional and methodological changes that gave rise to controversy regarding the reliability of the information that it produces, including inflation, GDP and unemployment data, resulting in allegations that the inflation rate in Argentina and the other rates calculated by INDEC could be substantially different than as indicated in official reports. While previously the administration undertook reforms and the credibility of the national statistics systems has since been restored, we cannot assure you that the new or future administrations will not implement policies that may affect the national statistics system undermining consumer and investor confidence, which ultimately could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
21
Price control policies of previous governments in Argentina, if reinstated in the future, may have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations in Argentina.
In the past the Argentine government has, from time to time, established price controls on consumer products. President Milei’s administration has repealed price control regulations in Argentina with the aim of achieving a more transparent and free market. To the extent that the price of our products in Argentina is again restricted by the government through price controls, the results of our Argentine operations may be materially affected. We cannot assure that price controls in Argentina will not be reinstated in the future.
Political and economic instability in Argentina may recur, which could have a material adverse effect on our Argentine operations and on our financial condition and results of operations.
Argentina has a history of political and economic instability that often results in abrupt changes in government policies. Argentine governments have pursued different, and often contradictory, policies to those of preceding administrations. In recent decades, succeeding administrations have implemented interventionist policies, which included nationalization, debt renegotiation, price controls, and exchange restrictions, as well as market-friendly policies, such as export tax reductions, elimination of currency controls, deregulation of utility prices, negotiation of free trade agreements and implementation of pro-investor initiatives.
The last presidential election in Argentina was held between October (first round) and November 2023 (runoff). As a result of the election, Javier Milei, the candidate of the La Libertad Avanza party, was elected president and took office on December 10, 2023. During the first two years of his presidency, President Milei sought to implement new monetary, fiscal, and exchange rate policies, which have had effects on our business. During 2024 and 2025, the economic policies implemented by the new administration—including exchange rate adjustments, the removal of price controls, and the partial liberalization of imports—resulted in a sharp contraction in mass consumer demand and changes in the composition of sales channels. In our business, these measures helped correct price distortions and improved our average selling prices; however, they also led to lower volumes, increased consumer price sensitivity, greater migration toward lower‑priced brands, and a weakening of the supermarket channel. Although the market showed some signs of recovery over the course of 2025, conditions deteriorated again in early 2026. We cannot assure you that these conditions will not intensify or that future economic policies will not adversely affect our operations in the country.
The Argentine government has imposed, and may in the future impose further, restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad, which could affect the timing and amount of any dividends or other payment we receive from our Argentine subsidiary.
The Argentine government has imposed restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad. These controls have limited access to the foreign exchange market for Argentine residents, both companies and natural persons, including with respect to the payment of dividends in foreign currency abroad, as well as the payment of external financial debt and the payment of imports of goods and services, among others.
Under current Argentine law, and in spite of the new regulations issued or promoted by the current administration (including the Emergency and Necessity Decree DNU‑2023‑70‑APN‑PTE, dated December 20, 2023, the “Ley Bases” No. 27,742, and other measures issued in the areas of customs law and foreign trade), during 2025 we continue to be restricted from accessing the official foreign exchange market to make dividend payments in U.S. dollars, euros or other foreign currencies to the Company from our Argentine subsidiaries without prior approval from the Argentine Central Bank. Since January 1, 2026, access to foreign currency for dividend remittances relating to profits generated from financial statements closed in 2025 has been fully liberalized.
The significant restrictions on foreign exchange transactions imposed by the Argentine government have led to the existence of an informal foreign exchange market where foreign currencies quote at levels significantly higher than the official exchange rate. In the past, in some occasions, our Argentine subsidiary has only been able to purchase foreign currency at the informal exchange rate in order to remit dividends abroad. We cannot assure you that our Argentine subsidiary will not be required to access the informal foreign exchange market in order to purchase foreign currency in the future.
The Argentine government’s ability to obtain financing from international capital markets may be limited or costly, which may impair its ability to implement reforms and foster economic growth.
While Argentina had regained access to the international capital markets, actions by the Argentine government, or investor perceptions of the country’s creditworthiness, could curtail access in the future or could significantly increase borrowing costs, limiting the government’s ability to foster economic growth. Limited or costly access to international financing for the private sector could also affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
22
The Argentine government may standardize joint agreements that provide for wage increases for private sector employees, which could increase our operating costs.
In the past, the Argentine government has enacted laws, rules, and decrees requiring private sector employers to increase salaries and provide specific benefits to their workers. Although inflation has declined considerably during 2025, it remains elevated in comparison with levels in the other jurisdictions in which we operate and is expected to continue exerting pressure on labor costs. Furthermore, labor unions frequently demand large wage increases, and the Argentine government has implemented various policies aimed at reducing the adverse effects of inflation and exchange rate fluctuations on wages. Employers in both the public and private sectors continue to face strong pressure to raise wages due to the high rates of inflation. However, the Argentine government generally tends to validate and approve sector‑specific collective bargaining agreements, provided that the negotiated increases are consistent with projected inflation expectations.
Labor relations in Argentina are governed by specific legislation, such as Labor Law No. 20,744 and Law No. 14,250 on Collective Bargaining Agreements, which, among other things, specify how salary negotiations and other labor negotiations should be conducted. The government of President Javier Milei, through the enactment of a Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU-2023-70-APN-PTE, dated December 20, 2023) instituted labor reforms that, among other issues, included significant changes to the aforementioned laws. However, this decree is currently on hold due to a judicial order. Nonetheless, these laws have been amended by Law 27,742 (Bases Law) enacted on June 27, 2024 by the National Congress, by virtue of which some of the reforms provided for in the aforementioned DNU-2023-70-APN-PTE were incorporated.
Government measures to preempt or respond to social unrest may affect the Argentine economy and our business.
In recent decades, Argentina has experienced significant social and political turmoil, including civil unrest, riots, looting, nationwide protests, strikes and street demonstrations. Certain social and political tension and high levels of poverty and unemployment continue. Unions frequently stage nationwide strikes and protests, and riots and lootings of shops and supermarkets in cities around the country have taken place at times of social turmoil. While during 2025 protests, demonstrations, and road blockades decreased, partly as a result of amendments introduced by the “Ley Bases” to labor legislation—which classified participation in such actions as serious labor misconduct and grounds for dismissal with cause—and the implementation of the national “anti‑blockade protocol” by the federal government, there can be no guarantee that such disruptions will not become more prevalent in the future.
Future government policies to preempt, or in response to, social unrest may include new taxation policies and changes in laws and policies favoring foreign trade and investment. Such policies could materially affect the Argentine economy, and thereby our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Relating to Paraguay
Our business operations in Paraguay are dependent on economic conditions in Paraguay.
Our operations in Paraguay represented 11.6% and 12.5% of our assets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and 8.7% and 9.4% of our net sales for 2024 and 2025, respectively. Because demand for soft drinks and beverage products is generally related to the economic conditions prevailing in the local market which, in turn, depend on the macroeconomic and political conditions of the country, our financial situation and our results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in these factors over which we have no control.
Paraguay has a history of economic and political stability, exchange controls, frequent changes in regulatory policies, corruption and weak judicial security. Paraguayan GDP grew 5% in 2023, 4% in 2024 and 6% in 2025, according to the Paraguayan Central Bank. Paraguayan GDP is closely tied to the performance of Paraguay’s agricultural sector, which can be volatile.
The situation of the Paraguayan economy is also strongly influenced by the economic situation in Argentina and Brazil. A deterioration in the economic situation of these countries could adversely affect the Paraguayan economy and, in turn, our financial condition and operating results.
The Paraguayan guaraní is subject to depreciation and volatility, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The exchange rate of Paraguay is free and floating and the Paraguay Central Bank, actively participates in the exchange market in order to reduce volatility. Since a relevant portion of our total costs in Paraguay for raw material and supplies are denominated in U.S. dollars, a significant depreciation of the local currency could adversely affect our financial situation and results.
23
The Paraguayan guaraní appreciated 1% in 2023, depreciated 7% in 2024 and appreciated 19% in 2025, in each case compared to the closing exchange rate as of the end of the prior period with the U.S. dollar.
The local currency follows regional and global trends. When the U.S. dollar’s value increases, and raw materials lose value in Paraguay, this directly impacts Paraguay’s generation of foreign exchange which occurs mainly through the export of raw materials. A deterioration in the economic growth of Paraguay as result of a significant depreciation of the Paraguayan guaraní could have an effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Social and political instability in Paraguay, including protests, strikes, civil unrest or significant changes in government policies, could adversely impact our financial results.
The current environment in Paraguay may present risks associated with political polarization and potential social unrest, which could materialize in the form of strikes, road blockades and other disruptions that negatively affect logistics and business continuity. These risks could be further heightened if the government implements structural reforms or policy measures without broad social consensus, potentially triggering increased public dissatisfaction. In addition, uncertainty surrounding abrupt changes in public policies may alter market conditions and affect Paraguay’s overall risk perception, potentially discouraging foreign investment and adversely impacting our operations in the country.
Inflation in Paraguay may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Although inflation in Paraguay has remained stable at around 3.9% over the last five years, we cannot assure that it will not increase significantly. An increase in inflation in Paraguay could decrease the purchasing power of our consumers in the country, which could adversely affect our volumes and impact our sales income.
Risk Factors Relating to the ADRs and Common Stock
Preemptive rights may be unavailable to ADR holders.
According to the Ley de Sociedades Anónimas No. 18,046 and the Reglamento de Sociedades Anónimas (collectively, the “Chilean Companies Law”), whenever we issue new shares for cash, we are required to grant preemptive rights to holders of our shares (including shares represented by ADRs), giving them the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. However, we may not be able to offer shares to United States holders of ADRs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to our shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is effective with respect to such rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is available.
Under the procedure established by the Central Bank of Chile, the foreign investment agreement of a Chilean company with an existing ADR program will become subject to an amendment (which will also be deemed to incorporate all laws and regulations applicable to international offerings in effect as of the date of the amendment) that will extend the benefits of such contract to new shares issued pursuant to a preemptive rights offering to existing ADR owners and to other persons residing and domiciled outside of Chile that exercise preemptive rights, upon request to the Central Bank of Chile. We intend to evaluate at the time of any rights offering the costs and potential liabilities associated with any such registration statement as well as the indirect benefits to us of enabling United States ADR holders to exercise preemptive rights and any other factors that we consider appropriate at the time, and then make a decision as to whether to file such registration statement.
We cannot assure you that any registration statement would be filed. To the extent ADR holders are unable to exercise such rights because a registration statement has not been filed, the depositary will attempt to sell such holders’ preemptive rights and distribute the net proceeds thereof if a secondary market for such rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of any such sale. If such rights cannot be sold, they will expire, and ADR holders will not realize any value from the grant of such preemptive rights. In any such case, such holder’s equity interest in the Company would be diluted proportionately.
Shareholders’ rights are less well-defined in Chile than in other jurisdictions, including the United States.
Under the United States federal securities laws, as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules that apply to domestic United States issuers with equity securities registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the proxy solicitation rules, the rules requiring disclosure of share ownership by directors, officers and certain shareholders. We are also exempt from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., including the requirements concerning independent directors.
24
Our corporate affairs are governed by the laws of Chile and our estatutos or bylaws. Under such laws, our shareholders may have fewer or less well-defined rights than they might have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction.
Pursuant to Law No. 19,705, enacted in December 2000, the controlling shareholders of an open stock corporation can only sell their controlling shares through a tender offer to all shareholders in which the bidder would have to buy all of the offered shares up to the percentage determined by it, where the price paid is substantially higher than the market price (i.e., when the price paid was higher than the average market price for a period starting 90 days before the proposed transaction and ending 30 days before such proposed transaction, plus 10%).
The market for our shares may be volatile and illiquid.
The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. The Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”), which is Chile’s principal securities exchange, had a market capitalization of approximately US$262,079 million as of December 31, 2025 and an average monthly trading volume of approximately US$3,955 million for the year. The lack of liquidity is owed, in part, to the relatively small size of the Chilean securities markets and may have a material adverse effect on the trading prices of our shares. Because the market for our ADRs depends, in part, on investors’ perception of the value of our underlying shares, this lack of liquidity for our shares in Chile may have a significant effect on the trading prices of our ADRs.

History
Chile
In 1941, The Coca-Cola Company licensed a private Chilean company to produce Coca-Cola soft drinks in Chile and production began in 1943. In 1946, the original licensee withdrew from the license arrangement and a group of U.S. and Chilean investors formed Andina, which became The Coca-Cola Company’s sole licensee in Chile.
Between 1946 and the early 1980s, Andina developed the Chilean market for Coca-Cola soft drinks with a system of production and distribution facilities covering the central and southern regions of Chile. In the early 1980s, Andina sold its Coca-Cola licenses for most areas outside the Santiago metropolitan region and concentrated on the development of its soft drink business in the Santiago metropolitan area. Although we are no longer the sole Coca-Cola bottler in Chile, we have been the principal manufacturer of Coca-Cola products in Chile for an uninterrupted period since 1946.
25
In 1998, we purchased a 49% stake in Vital S.A. from The Coca-Cola Company. Concurrently, The Coca-Cola Company purchased Vital S.A. mineral water springs located in Chanqueahue, 80 miles south of Santiago. As part of the transaction, the Vital bottler agreement was replaced with a Minute Maid International Inc. juice bottler agreement and a new mineral water bottling agreement with The Coca-Cola Company.
The production and packaging business of water, juices and non-carbonated beverages licensed by The Coca-Cola Company in Chile was restructured in 2005. Vital Aguas S.A. (“VASA”) was created in 2005 in order to develop the processing, production and packaging of mineral water and other waters by Agua Mineral de Chanqueahue Vital. Andina and Embonor S.A. continued the development of juices and non-carbonated beverages through their ownership stakes in Vital S.A., holding 66.5% and 33.5%, respectively. In January 2011, the juice production business was restructured to incorporate other Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile as shareholders of Vital S.A., which changed its name initially to Vital Jugos S.A. and then to VJ S.A. in 2019. Andina and Embonor hold 65% and 35% stakes in VJ S.A., respectively.
In 2001, we entered into a joint venture with Cristalerías de Chile to produce PET bottles. On January 27, 2012, Coca-Cola Embonor through its subsidiary, Embonor Empaques S.A., acquired Cristalerías de Chile’s stake equivalent to a 50% ownership interest in Envases CMF.
In 2012, in order to reinforce our leadership position among Coca-Cola bottlers in South America, the Company completed its merger with Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A. (“Polar”). Polar was a Coca-Cola bottler with operations in Chile, where it serviced territories in the II, III, IV, XI and XII regions, as well as parts of Argentina, as described below, and all of Paraguay. The merger granted former shareholders of Polar a 19.68% ownership interest in the merged entity, however the Company controls its day to day operations. As a result of the transaction, we also acquired additional indirect ownership interests in Vital Jugos, Vital Aguas and ECSA.

Argentina
Production of Coca-Cola soft drinks in Argentina began in 1943 with operations in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, through Inti S.A.I.C., (“INTI”). In 1995, we, through an investment company incorporated in Argentina called Inversiones del Atlántico S.A., (“IASA”), acquired a 59% interest in EDASA (the parent company of Rosario Refrescos S.A. and Mendoza Refrescos S.A.). These entities were subsequently merged to create Rosario Mendoza Refrescos S.A., (“ROMESA”). In 1996, we acquired an additional 35.9% interest in EDASA, an additional 78.7% interest in INTI, a 100% interest in CIPET (a PET plastic bottle and packaging business located in Buenos Aires) and a 15.2% interest in Cican S.A. During 1997, the operations of ROMESA were merged with INTI. In 1999, EDASA was merged into IASA. In 2000, IASA was merged into INTI, forming Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. (“EDASA”). In 2002, CIPET merged into EDASA. During 2007, EDASA’s ownership interest in Cican S.A. was sold to FEMSA.
In 2011, EDASA’s shareholders resolved to form Andina Empaques Argentina S.A., through a spin-off of all of EDASA’s Packaging Division, including all tangible and intangible assets related thereto. Subsequently, EDASA absorbed Coca-Cola Polar Argentina S.A.

Additionally, as a result of the Company’s merger with Polar which was completed in October 2012, the Company gained territory serviced by Polar in Argentina, consisting of territories in Santa Cruz, Neuquén, El Chubut, Tierra del Fuego, Río Negro, La Pampa and the western part of the province of Buenos Aires.
In March 2017, EDASA acquired 13.0% of the shares of the company Alimentos de Soja S.A.U., dedicated to the production of vegetable protein-based beverages marketed under the brand “AdeS.” The sale of Alimentos de Soja S.A.U. shares was carried out within the framework of a global transaction under the terms of which The Coca-Cola Company and certain Coca-Cola bottlers acquired the “AdeS” liquid soy-based food business from the Unilever Group in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia and Chile. EDASA began distributing AdeS products in July 2017. In 2018, EDASA acquired shares of Alimentos de Soja S.A.U. (currently Alimentos de Soja S.A., in liquidation), increasing its ownership interest to 14.3%. As of the date of this annual report, EDASA’s interest in Alimentos de Soja S.A. is equivalent to 14.82%. The amount of shares transferred was sufficient to provide EDASA with a percentage of shares approximately proportional to its market share in the territory. As of the date of this annual report, the company is in the process of being liquidated, as a result of the early dissolution that was unanimously approved by the shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.
In December 2017, EDASA, together with Monster Energy Company, entered into an agreement in which Monster Energy Company named Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. as distributor in the franchise territory of Andina Argentina of the products bearing the Monster brand for an initial period of 10 years.

Beginning in 2004, PARESA became property of the Grupo Polar from Chile, continuing its operations in the Paraguayan market.

We seek to enhance our business throughout the franchise territories by developing existing markets, penetrating other soft drink, waters and juices markets, and also alcoholic beverages markets, forming strategic alliances with retailers to increase consumer demand for our products, increasing productivity, and by further internationalizing our operations.

Distribution
Chile
Soft Drinks, Juices, Waters and Other Beverages: In Chile, we distribute our products through a distribution system that includes: (i) trucks owned by third parties (402 trucks) which provide exclusive distribution service, and (ii) our own trucks (460 trucks). In 2025, 100% of our distribution was carried out by exclusive third-party trucking companies. Distribution of all Andina beverages in Chile is carried out from distribution centers and production facilities. In most cases, the transportation company collects payment in cash or checks from the customer. In some cases, the driver also collects empty returnable glass containers or PET bottles of the same type and quantity as those delivered or collects cash deposits for net returnable bottles delivered. This task is particularly significant in the Chilean territory where returnable containers accounted for approximately 29.5% of the total volume sold of non-alcoholic beverages in 2025. Certain important customers (such as supermarkets) maintain accounts receivable with us, which are settled on average every 45.2 days after invoices are issued.
Beer and other Alcoholic Beverages: Andina in Chile uses its distribution system to distribute beer, and other alcoholic beverages in its franchise territories. Since 2018 it has developed a portfolio expansion strategy to become a total beverage company. To this end, the Company has entered into agreements with different strategic partners that have transformed its value proposition towards the customers of the different channels it serves in each category. Since 2018 it has been distributing Diageo’s complete distilled spirits portfolio, brands such as Johnnie Walker, Vat-69, Sandy Mac (whiskey), Cacique and Zacapa (rum), Smirnoff and Ciroc (vodka), Tanqueray and Gordon’s (gin), Bailey’s liqueur, among others, in the traditional channel, on-premise channel, convenience stores and B2C digital channel. In the third quarter of 2019, distribution of the complete product portfolio of the Capel Cooperative (Alto del Carmen and Capel piscos, among other brands, and wines from Viña Francisco de Aguirre) began in all channels in the territory. In 2020, a commercialization and distribution agreement was signed, with which most of the AB InBev brands in Chile were added to our portfolio, as part of the agreement, the products of said multinational are commercialized in the different channels in most of our territory. Finally, in 2021 a distribution agreement was signed with “Viña Santa Rita” to commercialize and distribute its main brands (as of November 2021) throughout Chile, such as wines, sparkling wines and cocktails. Andina in Chile buys the different alcoholic products from commercial partners (Diageo, Cooperativa Capel, AB InBev and Viña Santa Rita) at a price determined by those partners and sells them to its customers with a margin previously agreed by category and channel, to which different variables are added for the achievement of goals. The discount scheme is different in each category, but as a common rule the discounts approved by the commercial partners are paid by those partners and do not affect Andina’s margin in Chile.

Brazil
Soft Drinks, Juices, Waters, Other Non-alcoholic, Alcoholic Beverages and Confectionery: In Brazil, we generally distribute Coca-Cola products through a distribution system that includes: (i) own trucks, (ii) trucks operated by independent distributors pursuant to non-exclusive distribution arrangements, and (iii) trucks operated by independent transport companies on an exclusive basis with us. In 2025, 13.3% was distributed by exclusive distributors, 2.2% by independent transport companies and 84.5% by our own trucks. Distribution of all Andina Brazil’s beverages takes place from distribution centers and production facilities.
Other Beverages: Andina Brazil uses its distribution system to distribute beer in the Brazilian territory. Andina Brazil started distributing beer in the 1980s as a result of the acquisition of Cervejarias Kaiser S.A. (“Kaiser”) by a consortium of Coca-Cola bottlers (including Andina Brazil) in Brazil. In March 2002, the Canadian brewing company Molson Inc. acquired Kaiser. In 2006, FEMSA acquired from Molson a controlling ownership interest in Kaiser and in 2010, Heineken acquired a controlling interest in FEMSA’s beer operation. Andina Brazil buys beer from Heineken at a price determined by Heineken and sells it to its customers with a fixed margin. In the case of certain discount sales that have been approved by Heineken, Heineken shares between 50% and 100% of the cost of such discounts.
In 2002, The Coca-Cola Company and the Brazilian Association of Coca-Cola Manufacturers entered into an agreement regarding the distribution through the Coca-Cola system of beer produced and imported by what is now Heineken. In July 2017 Heineken Brazil notified Andina Brazil of the termination of the agreement by virtue of which Andina Brazil commercialized and distributed Heineken-branded beers in Brazil, which was effective until March 2022. During 2020, the Coca-Cola system in Brazil and Heineken reached a new agreement to redesign their distribution partnership in Brazil. As per the agreement, which became effective as of September 2021 and has an initial five year term of duration, the Coca-Cola system in Brazil would discontinue the distribution of Heineken and Amstel brands but would continue to offer the Kaiser, Bavaria and Sol brands, and would complement this portfolio with the Eisenbahn and Tiger. Additionally, as part of the redesign of the distribution partnership, the agreement allowed the Coca-Cola system bottlers in Brazil to distribute and produce other national or international brands, in certain percentages and under certain conditions.
In 2016, Andina Brazil signed an agreement with Monster Energy Company for the distribution of Monster Energy products in Andina Brazil’s territory. These products began being distributed in November 2016.
In September 2021, the Coca-Cola Brazil System, including Andina Brazil, signed a Master Agreement and Distribution Agreement with Estrella de Galicia Importação e Comercialização de Bebidas e Alimentos Ltda, with a term of 12 years, for the distribution of branded beers Estrella Galicia throughout the Brazilian territory with exclusivity.

On February 10, 2025, the distribution of CERPA Beer began pursuant to the contract between CERPA Cervejaria Paraense S/A and RJR. This contract was authorized by the master contract, signed on January 31, 2025, by the Coca-Cola Brazil system for the distribution of the CERPA brand beer portfolio throughout Brazil.
On October 3, 2025, the manufacturing of CERPA Beer began between CERPA Cervejaria Paraense S/A and RJR, with the objective of manufacturing Cerpa Cervejarias Paraense S/A beers at its factory in Duque de Caxias.
On December 4, 2025, a supply agreement was signed between Estrella De Galicia Importação e Comercialização de Bebidas e Alimentos Ltda. and RJR, allowing the latter to manufacture products for the sole purpose of selling them to Estrella Galicia.

Argentina
Soft Drinks, Juices and Waters: in 2025, 66% of EDASA’s Coca-Cola NARTD volume was distributed by direct distribution and 34% by other distributors and wholesale distribution (indirect distribution). The direct distribution is done by a group of independent transport companies, on an exclusive basis.
Other Beverages: Currently, Andina Argentina sells and distributes products belonging to the alcohol category, which are purchased from Grupo Peñaflor S.A., as a result of a commercial purchase and sale agreement with that company starting in September 2022. Under this agreement, Andina Argentina uses its distribution system to sell and distribute beer, sparkling wines, ARTDs (alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages), wines (from different segments such as table wines, young wines and aged wines), and alcoholic beverages such as spirits, gin, vodka and whiskey in the territory comprising the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, San Luis, the northwest area of the city of Córdoba, and the locality of Villa María.
In 2003, The Coca-Cola Company and two bottlers (ex-Coca-Cola Polar Argentina S.A., today Andina Argentina, and ex-Juan Bautista Guerrero S.A., today Salta Refrescos S.A. of the Arca group) executed a master agreement regarding the distribution of beer manufactured or imported by CICSA, through the Coca-Cola distribution system. The distribution master agreement was executed in 2003 for an initial period of five years, with successive extensions every three years, and the last one agreed in November 2017 for a new five-year term expiring on June 12, 2022. In 2019, an addendum to this agreement was signed to amend the commissions and included wine and cider within the scope of the distribution agreement. Also, on June 21, 2022, the parties agreed to extend the master distribution agreement for a one-year term until June 12, 2023, date on which the contractual relationship with CICSA was irrevocably terminated. Lastly, on June 28, 2022, Andina Argentina and Grupo Peñaflor S.A. entered into a distribution agreement for alcoholic beverages manufactured or imported by Grupo Peñaflor S.A. in the territory of the Provinces of Mendoza, San Juan and San Luis. Furthermore, in December 2024, distribution was extended to the territory of the Province of Córdoba.
In addition, in December 2017, EDASA executed an agreement with Monster Energy Company for the distribution and commercialization of energy drinks of the “Monster” trademark for an initial period of 10 years in the territory within the franchise of Andina Argentina, with the consent of The Coca-Cola Company. Also, in April 2021 EDASA, together with Monster Energy Company, entered into an agreement whereby Monster Energy Company appointed Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. as the manufacturer (Copacking services) of products bearing the Monster brand for an initial term of 5 years. Subsequently, EDASA, together with Monster Energy Company, entered into a manufacturing agreement on January 15, 2025, with a five-year term, automatically renewable for up to two additional successive five-year periods, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions

Chile
Soft Drinks: the soft drink segment of the Chilean beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising, ability to deliver product in popular bottle sizes, distribution capacity, and the number of returnable bottles held by retailers or by consumers. Returnable bottles can be exchanged at the time of new purchases in lieu of paying a bottle deposit, thereby decreasing the purchase price. Our main competitor in the Chilean franchise territory is Embotelladora Chilenas Unidas (ECUSA), a subsidiary of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. (CCU), the largest brewer in Chile. ECUSA produces and distributes Pepsi-Cola products and its own soft drinks brands (e.g., Bilz and Pap). Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2025, our average soft drink market share within our franchise territories was 64.6%.
Other beverages: our main competitor in the water market is CCU, which has its own brand (Cachantun and +Mas), where there is also competition from other low-priced brands (“B-Brands”). Our main competitors in the juice segment are the Watt’s-CCU joint venture, Córpora Tres Montes and three of the main milk producers in Chile: Soprole S.A., Nestlé Chile S.A. and Loncoleche. The market for fruit-flavored beverages in Chile also includes lower-cost concentrates of lower quality and artificially flavored powdered soft drink mixes. We do not consider these products to compete with our water and juice business as we believe these products are of lower quality and value. Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2025, our average market share within our Chilean franchise territories reached approximately 33.9% for juices and others segment and approximately 44.2% for waters.
In the different alcoholic categories, Andina’s main competitor in Chile is CCU, which through different business models distributes beers (its main brands are Escudo, Cristal, Royal and Heineken), spirits (brands from the Pernod Ricard portfolio), piscos (Control and Mistral brands, among others) and wines (including Viña San Pedro brands such as Castillo de Molina, among others).
Brazil
Soft Drinks: the soft drink segment of the Brazilian beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising and distribution capacity (including the number and location of sales outlets). According to A.C.

Packaging
Overview
Through Envases CMF S.A. in Chile (50% owned by Andina and 50% owned by Embonor), and AEASA in Argentina we produce PET bottles in both returnable and non-returnable formats, preforms and plastic caps. On average, returnable PET bottles can be used up to 12 times. Non-returnable PET bottles are produced in various sizes and are used by a variety of soft drink producers and, in Chile, also by producers of food, wine, home care and personal hygiene products.
Sales
In 2025, total sales of AEASA reached Ch$27,878 million, of which Ch$14,618 million corresponded to sales to EDASA, Ch$3,178 million corresponded to sales to other related companies of the group and Ch$10,082 million corresponded to sales to third parties.

Marketing
We and The Coca-Cola Company jointly promote and market Coca-Cola products in our franchise territories, in accordance with the terms of our respective bottler agreements. We advertise in major communications media. We focus our advertising efforts on increasing brand recognition by consumers and improving our customer relations. National advertising campaigns are designed and proposed by The Coca-Cola Company’s local affiliates, with our input at the local or regional level.
Generally, we pay approximately 50% of the advertising and promotional expenses incurred by The Coca-Cola Company in our franchise territories. Nearly all media advertising and promotional materials for Coca-Cola soft drinks are produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company. See “Item 4. Information on the Company —Bottler Agreements.” Marketing and promotional programs, including television, radio and print advertising, point-of-sale advertising, sales promotions, social media and entertainment are developed by The Coca-Cola Company for all Vital Jugos’ and Vital Aguas’ products.
In Brazil, pursuant to the existing distribution agreements with Estrella Galicia, Cerpa, Campari, Monster and Perfetti Van Melli, these companies are responsible for planning and managing advertising, marketing and promotional activities related to beer, alcoholic beverages, energy drinks and confectionery, respectively. Andina Brazil, however, is free to undertake marketing or promotional activities with Estrella Galicia, Cerpa, Campari, Monster and Perfetti’s prior approval. The parties have agreed to assume jointly the costs of certain promotional activities (radio or television) and for certain outdoor events which take place in the Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Ribeirão Preto regions.
In Argentina, in accordance with the existing distribution agreement with Grupo Peñaflor S.A., Grupo Peñaflor S.A. is responsible for planning and managing advertising, marketing and promotional activities related to beer, wine and cider. Andina Argentina, however, is free to undertake marketing or promotional activities with Grupo Peñaflor S.A.’s prior approval. The parties have agreed that Grupo Peñaflor S.A. will assume the costs of promotional activities (radio, television, outdoor advertising and media) in the region.
In Chile, pursuant to existing distribution agreements with Diageo, Cooperativa Capel, AB InBev and Viña Santa Rita, these companies are responsible for the planning and administration of advertising, commercialization and promotional activities related to their respective products. Embotelladora Andina S.A. may, however, engage in promotional or commercialization activities in the categories and channels in which it is authorized to operate with the prior approval of the company that owns the brand. In all cases the parties have agreed that the costs of advertising activities (including radio, television, street advertising and media in general) as well as the materials used in executing promotions in each channel will be borne by the companies that own the brands.
In Paraguay, in accordance with the existing distribution agreement with Cervepar S.A., Cervepar S.A.is responsible for planning and managing advertising, marketing and promotional activities related to beer.
In September 2016, November 2016, February 2018 and May 2019, Andina (Chile), Andina Brazil, Andina Argentina and Paraguay Refrescos, respectively, began to commercialize the Monster Energy energy drink. This brand is part of the collaboration agreement entered into during 2015 by The Coca-Cola Company and Monster Energy, which included the production and distribution of its products in Argentina and the distribution of its products in Coca-Cola system territories such as Chile, Brazil and Paraguay. While we implement communication and trade marketing at points of sale, all brand marketing activities—such as campaigns, packaging, advertising, image assets and related materials—are carried out directly by Monster Energy.

Channel Marketing
In order to provide more dynamic and specialized marketing of our products, our strategy is to divide our market into distribution channels. Our main channels are “mom and pops” which are small retailers, “on premise” consumption such as restaurants and bars, “supermarkets” and “wholesale distributors.” Presence in these channels entails a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the purchasing patterns and preferences of various groups of soft drinks and other beverages consumers in each type of location or distribution channel. In response to this analysis, we seek to tailor our product portfolio, price, promotions, packaging and distribution strategies to meet the particular needs of and exploit the potential of each channel. Our “mi” B2B platforms, “mi Andina” (in our operations in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay) and “mi Coca -Cola” (in Chile) which generated 72.6% of our 2025 net sales revenue in the mom and pops channel, serve as a key strategic lever. By harnessing advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, we steer customers toward high-value decisions, strengthening our commercial execution and accelerating profitable sales growth across markets.
We believe that the implementation of our channel marketing strategy also enables us to respond to competitive initiatives with channel-specific responses. This focused response capability isolates the effects of competitive pressure in a specific channel, thereby avoiding costlier market-wide responses. Our “mi” B2B ecosystem (in which we have invested significantly) serves as a strategic backbone across our route to market, enabling real time, data driven decision making and strengthening execution at every step. “mi Market,” our sales force assistant app, supports frontline teams through guided missions—promotion, portfolio, and in store execution—based on analytics, AI, and market strategic imperatives. “mi Ruta” elevates distribution performance by optimizing routing and reducing administrative workload for fleet operators. “mi Supply” enhances stock visibility and production planning, improving operational responsiveness. Together, these integrated tools create a unified “mi” ecosystem that ensures consistent value delivery and superior commercial execution across markets. These capabilities are essential for effectively implementing our channel marketing strategies across most of our sales routes in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.
Bottler Agreements
General
Our status as a The Coca-Cola Company franchisee is based on the bottler agreements that the Company has entered into with The Coca-Cola Company by which it has the license to produce and distribute Coca-Cola brand products within its operating franchise territories in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The Company’s operations are highly dependent on maintaining and renewing the bottler agreements which provide for the production and distribution of Coca-Cola brand products under certain terms and provisions.
The bottler agreements are international standard contracts. The Coca-Cola Company enters into with bottlers outside the United States for the sale of concentrates and beverage basis for certain Coca-Cola soft drinks and non-soft drink beverages. These are renewable upon request by the bottler and at the sole discretion of The Coca-Cola Company. We cannot assure you that the bottler agreements will be renewed upon their expiration or that they will be renewed upon the same or better terms.
Concentrates and beverage basis
The bottler agreements provide that we will purchase our entire requirement of concentrates and beverage basis for Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages from The Coca-Cola Company and other authorized suppliers. Concentrate prices for Coca-Cola trademark beverages are a percentage of the weighted average retail price in local currency net of applicable taxes, and are determined by an agreement between the Company and The Coca-Cola Company. We set the price of products sold to retailers at our discretion, subject only to certain price restrictions.
As of the date of this annual report, we are the sole producer of Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages in our franchise territories. Although this right is not exclusive, The Coca-Cola Company, even though it has the ability to do so, has never authorized any other entity to produce or distribute Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages in such territories, although we cannot assure you that in the future it will not do so. In the case of post-mix soft drinks, the bottler agreements explicitly establish such non-exclusive rights.
The bottler agreements include an acknowledgment by us that The Coca-Cola Company is the sole owner of the trademarks that identify the Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages and of any secret formula used in concentrates.
46
Production and Distribution
All distribution must be in authorized containers. The Coca-Cola Company has the right to approve, at its sole discretion, any and all kinds of packages and containers for beverages, including their size, shape and any of their attributes. The Coca-Cola Company has the authority at its sole discretion to redesign or discontinue any package of any of the Coca-Cola products, subject to certain limitations, so long as Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages are not all discontinued at the same time. We are prohibited from producing or handling any other beverage products, other than those of The Coca-Cola Company or other products or packages that would imitate, infringe or cause confusion with the products, trade dress, containers or trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company, or from acquiring or holding an interest in a party that engages in such activities. The bottler agreements also impose restrictions concerning the use of certain trademarks, authorized containers, packaging and labeling of The Coca-Cola Company and prohibit bottlers from distributing Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages outside their designated territories.
The bottler agreements require us to maintain adequate production and distribution facilities; inventories of bottles, caps, boxes, cartons and other exterior packaging or materials; to undertake adequate quality control measures prescribed by The Coca-Cola Company; to develop, stimulate, and fully satisfy the demand for Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages and that we use all approved means, and spend such funds on advertising and other forms of marketing, as may be reasonably required to meet that objective; and to maintain financial capacity as may be reasonably necessary to assure performance by us and our affiliates of our obligations before to The Coca-Cola Company. All bottler agreements require us to submit, on an annual basis, our business plans for such franchise territories to The Coca-Cola Company, including without limitation, marketing, management and promotional and advertising plans for the following year.
Advertising and marketing
The Coca-Cola Company has no obligation to contribute to our expenditures for advertising and marketing, but it may, at its discretion, contribute to such expenditures and perform independent advertising and marketing activities, as well as cooperative advertising and sales promotion that would require our cooperation and support. In each of the franchise territories, The Coca-Cola Company has been contributing approximately 50% of our advertising and marketing expenses, but no assurances can be given that equivalent contributions or any contributions at all will be made in the future.
Assignments and other provisions
Each bottler is prohibited from, directly or indirectly, assigning, transferring or pledging its bottler agreement, or any interest therein, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company, and each bottler agreement is subject to termination by The Coca-Cola Company in the event of default by us. Moreover, no material change of ownership or control in the bottler may occur without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company.
Termination
The Coca-Cola Company may terminate a bottler agreement immediately by written notice to the bottler in the event that, among other events, (i) the bottler suspends payments to creditors, declares bankruptcy, is declared bankrupt, is expropriated or nationalized, is liquidated, dissolved, changes its legal structure, or pledges or mortgages its assets; (ii) the bottler does not comply with instructions and standards established by The Coca-Cola Company relating to the production of its authorized soft drink products; (iii) the bottler ceases to be controlled by its controlling shareholders (without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company); or (iv) the terms of the bottler agreement become contrary to the applicable law.
Either party to any bottler agreement may, within 60 days’ notice thereof to the other party, terminate the bottler agreement in case of default of the other party, provided that such default is not remedied during such period.
In addition, if a bottler does not wish to pay the required price for concentrate for any Coca-Cola products, it must notify The Coca-Cola Company within 30 days of receipt of The Coca-Cola Company’s new prices. In the case of any Coca-Cola soft drink or other Coca-Cola beverages other than Coca-Cola concentrate, the franchise regarding such product shall be deemed automatically canceled three months after The Coca-Cola Company’s receipt of the bottler’s notice of refusal. In the case of Coca-Cola concentrate, the bottler agreements shall be deemed terminated three months after The Coca-Cola Company’s receipt of the bottler’s notice of refusal.
The Coca-Cola Company may also terminate the bottler agreements if the bottler or any individual or legal entity that controls it, engages in the production of any non-Coca-Cola beverage, whether through direct ownership of such operations or through control or administration thereof, provided that, upon request, the bottler shall be given six months to remedy such situation.

Regulation
General
We are subject to a full range of government regulations generally applicable to companies engaged in business in our franchise territories, including but not limited to labor, social security, public health, consumer protection, environmental, sanitation, employee safety, securities and anti-trust laws. As of December 31, 2025, we have no knowledge of any legal or administrative material pending proceedings are against us with respect to any regulatory matter in any of our franchise territories except those listed as such in “Item 8. Financial Information—Contingencies.”
We believe that, to the best of our knowledge, we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutory and administrative regulations relating to our business in each of our franchise territories.
Chile: There are no special licenses or permits specifically required to manufacture and distribute soft drinks and juices in the Chilean territory. Food and beverage producers in Chile, however, must obtain authorization from, and are supervised by the Health Ministry’s respective regional offices (Secretaría Regional Ministerial de Salud), which inspects production facilities and takes liquid samples for analysis on a regular basis. Our main plant in Renca obtained its permit to operate on October 6, 2011 which has been granted for an indefinite period. Likewise, the permits we have to operate our other plants in Chile, have also been granted for an indefinite period. In addition, production and distribution of mineral water is subject to special regulations such that mineral water may be drawn only from sources designated for such purpose by supreme decree. Certification of compliance with such decree is provided by the National Health Service, the Undersecretary’s Office of the Ministry of Health (Servicio de Salud Metropolitano del Ambiente). Our mineral water production facilities have received the required certification.
With regard to the storage and distribution of alcoholic beverages, these activities are governed by the provisions of Laws No. 18,455 and No. 19,925 and their subsequent amendments, which regulate the production, manufacture, commercialization, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
48
Brazil: Labor laws, in addition to mandating employee benefits, include regulations to ensure sanitary and safe working conditions in our production facilities located in Brazil. Food and beverage producers in Brazil must register their products with and receive a ten-year permit from the Ministry of Agriculture and Provisioning and the Ministry of Health. Our permits from said Ministries are valid and in force for a term of ten years for each product we produce. Although we cannot assure you that they will be renewed, we have not experienced any material difficulties in renewing our permits in the past nor do we expect to experience any difficulties in the future. The Ministries do not regularly inspect facilities, but they do send inspectors to investigate any complaints they receive.
Argentina: While most laws applicable to EDASA are enforced at the federal level, some, such as sanitary and environmental regulations, are primarily enforced by provincial and municipal governments. Licenses or permits are required for the manufacture or distribution of beverages in the Argentine territory, which are evidenced through national records of food establishment and food products. Additionally, our production facilities are subject to registration with federal and provincial authorities and to supervision by municipal health agencies, which certify compliance with applicable laws.
Paraguay: PARESA is registered with the Ministry of Industry and Trade in Paraguay, which issues and renews the industrial registry. Food and beverage producers in Paraguay must register with the Ministry of Health, which performs inspections of plants and monitors products in the market. Industries must also have an environmental license issued by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, which is the main body responsible for monitoring compliance with environmental laws. In addition to establishing the mandatory employee benefits, include safe working and sanitary conditions at industrial installations within Paraguay. PARESA maintains all of its licenses, permits and registrations issued by these institutions and ensures compliance with the regulations and ordinances of the municipalities where its plant is located.
Environmental Matters
It is our policy to conduct environmentally sound operations on a basis consistent with applicable laws and within criteria established by The Coca-Cola Company. Although regulation of matters relating to the protection of the environment is not as well-developed in the franchise territories as in the United States and other industrialized countries, we expect that additional laws and regulations may be enacted in the future with respect to environmental matters that may impose additional restrictions on us which could materially or adversely affect our results of operations in the future. As of December 31, 2025, we have no knowledge of any material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in any of the franchise territories with respect to environmental matters, and we believe that, to the best of our knowledge, we are in compliance in all material respects with all environmental regulations applicable to us.
Chile
The Chilean government has several regulations governing environmental matters relating to our operations.
Law N° 19,300 addressing general environmental concerns, passed in March 1994, regulates general environmental issues and fundamental aspects applicable to our activities and that could require the hiring of independent experts to conduct studies or environmental impact statements of any future project or activity that may be affected by the provisions of Law N° 19,300. In January 2010, the aforementioned law was amended by Law N° 20,417, which created a new environmental agency, the Environment Ministry, the Environmental Assessment Service and the Environment Superintendence. In January 2012, Law N° 20,600 was published which created the Environmental Tribunals (3), which came into operation on December 2012.
Law N° 20,920 passed in June 2016, sets the framework for waste management, the extended liability of the producer and the promotion of recycling, which aims to reduce waste generation and encourage reuse, recycling and other types of valorization, in order to protect people’s health and the environment. Law 21,368 was published on August 13, 2021, which requires that the composition of disposable plastic bottles must contain a percentage of plastic that has been collected and recycled within the country.
Brazil
Our Brazilian operations are subject to several environmental laws, none of which currently impose substantial restrictions on us. The Brazilian Constitution establishes the broad guidelines for the new treatment of environmental concerns. Environmental issues are regulated at federal, state and municipal levels. The Brazilian Constitution empowers the public authorities to develop regulations designed to preserve and restore the environment and to control industrial processes that affect human life. Violations of these regulations are subject to criminal, civil and administrative penalties.
49
In addition, Law N° 6,938 of 1981, known as the Brazilian Environmental Policy, introduced an environmental regime under which no environmental damage is exempt from coverage. This legislation is based on the idea that even a polluting waste tolerated under the established standards could cause environmental damage, and therefore subjects the party causing such damage to the payment of an indemnity. Moreover, as mentioned above, activities damaging to the environment lead to criminal and administrative penalties, provided for in Law N° 9,605 of 1998 or the Environmental Crimes Act.
Numerous governmental bodies have jurisdiction over environmental matters. At the federal level, the Ministério do Meio Ambiente (Brazilian Ministry of Environment) and the Conselho Nacional do Meio-Ambiente or CONAMA dictate environmental policy, including, without limitation, initiating environmental improvement projects, establishing a system of fines and administrative penalties and reaching agreements on environmental matters with offending industries. The Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis or IBAMA, enforces environmental regulations set by CONAMA, through the development of several activities for the preservation and conservation of natural heritage and controlling and supervising the use of natural resources. In addition, various federal authorities have jurisdiction over specific industrial sectors, all aspects listed by these government bodies are fully met by Andina Brazil.
Finally, various state and local authorities regulate environmental matters in the Brazilian territory including the Instituto Estadual do Ambiente or INEA, the main environmental authority in Rio de Janeiro, the Instituto Estadual de Medio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos (“IEMA”), the main authority on environmental issues in Espírito Santo, the Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental - CETESB, the main environmental authority in São Paulo and the Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Susutentável (SEMAD), the main environmental authority in Minas Gerais. INEA, IEMA, CETESB and SEMAD periodically inspect industrial sites. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with the standards established by all the governmental authorities applicable to our operations in Brazil. We cannot assure you, however, that additional regulations will not be enacted in the future, and that such restrictions would not have a material adverse effect on our results or operations. The operation in Brazil as that of Chile counts with all certifications mentioned in terms of Quality, Environment and Occupational Health and Safety and those associated with Food Safety and Best Practices in Food Processing.
Argentina
The Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, allows any individual who believes a third party may be damaging the environment to initiate an action against it. No action of this nature has been initiated against EDASA, but we cannot ensure that it will not be initiated in the future. Though provincial governments have primary regulatory authority over environmental matters, municipal and federal authorities also have authority competent to enact decrees and laws on environmental issues. Thus, municipalities can set policy on local environmental matters, such as waste management, while the federal government regulates inter-province environmental issues, such as transport of hazardous waste or environmental matters covered by international treaties.
In 2002, the National Congress approved federal Law N° 25,612, Comprehensive Management of Industrial Residues and Service Activities (Gestión Integral de Residuos Industriales y de Actividades de Servicios) and Law N° 25,675, General Environmental Law (Ley General del Ambiente) establishing minimum guidelines for the protection of the sustainable environmental management and the protection of biodiversity, applicable throughout Argentina. The law establishes the purposes, principles and instruments of the national environmental policy, the concept of “minimum guidelines,” the judicial purview and the rules governing environmental education and information, citizens’ participation and self-management, among other provisions.
Provincial governments within the Argentine territory have enacted laws establishing a framework for the preservation of the environment. Provincial laws that are applicable to industrial facilities at EDASA, among others are Law N° 7,343 of the Province of Córdoba and its supplemental N° 10,208 since 2014, Law N° 11,459 of the Province of Buenos Aires Environmental Code N° 5,439 of the Chubut province and Law Nº 5,961 of the Province of Mendoza. These laws contain principles on environmental policy and management, as well as rules on environmental impact assessment. They also give certain agencies jurisdiction over environmental issues.
Almost all provinces as well as many municipalities have established rules regarding the use of water, the sewage system and the disposal of liquids into underground flows of water or rivers. There are currently no claims pending against EDASA related to these rules, whose violation normally results in a fine.
Paraguay
The environmental framework comprises several national and local environmental regulations. The Paraguayan Constitution of 1992 states that everyone has the right to live in a healthy and ecologically balanced environment and has the obligation to preserve it. All damage caused to the environment will carry the obligation to repair and compensate.
50
Law 1561/00 chartered the three primary environmental agencies in Paraguay. These are: The Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development of Paraguay (Ministerio del Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible or “MADES”), National Environmental Council (Consejo Nacional del Ambiente or “CONAM”), and National Environmental System (Sistema Nacional del Ambiente or “SISNAM”). The Law establishes the authority and responsibility of these agencies to develop and oversee the national environmental policy.
The Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development is the main environmental body responsible for the development and implementation of national environmental laws and it is also the authority responsible for implementing most of the national environmental regulations and for monitoring their compliance. The CONAM is responsible for investigating and establishing the main goals in the environmental policies, which the MADES must then implement. The SISNAM is integrated by several bodies, including governmental and municipal agencies and private sector stakeholders, all interested in solving environmental issues. The SISNAM provides a discussion forum for the public and private sectors to work together collectively, developing ideas and plans to promote a sustainable development.
Environmental Impact: Law 294/93 states the rights and obligations that will be triggered by any damage caused to the environment and provides the obligation to restore the environment to its previous state or, if that is technically impossible, to make a payment or provide compensation.
Water Resources Act of Paraguay: Law 3239/07 on water resources establishes the sustainable management of all waters (superficial, ground, atmospheric) and the territories that generate such waters, regardless of their location, physical condition or natural occurrence within the Paraguayan territory, in order to make it socially, economically and environmentally sustainable for the people living in the territory of Paraguay. The supervising agency is the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. Superficial and ground waters are property of the State’s public domain. The law establishes the following order of priority for the use of water: i) fulfillment of the needs of aquatic ecosystems; ii) social use within the home environment; iii) use and enjoyment for agricultural activities, including aquaculture; iv) use and utilization for power generation; v) use and enjoyment for other industrial activities and vi) use and enjoyment for other activities. The use of water for productive purposes is subject to the authorization granted by the State through a permit (for the use of small amounts of water) or through concessions (prior public bidding process), in both cases after the payment of applicable fees. Authorizations may be revoked based on the occurrence of situations contemplated under the law. Concessions may be expropriated for public benefit or be terminated in certain situations established by the law. In addition, a National Registry of Water Resources has been created to keep record of all individuals or legal entities that utilize water resources or engage in activities related to them.

In 2025, we continued to modernize and renovate our production plants in order to maximize efficiency and productivity.
In Chile, during 2025 Andina advanced the construction of a water plant incorporating ultrafiltration technology, together with the installation of an industrial wastewater treatment facility that recovers and reuses residual water, safely reintegrating it into our operations. This project represents a key step in the Company’s sustainability strategy, as it is expected to enable an estimated 36% reduction in total water consumption, optimizing water use efficiency and decreasing environmental impact. In addition, it strengthens Andina’s long-term approach to water stewardship, supporting operational resilience under increasing water‑stress scenarios and aligning with the Company’s corporate commitments to efficiency.
In 2025, Andina Brazil consolidated its position as the most relevant supplier for other Brazilian Coca-Cola franchises over a wide variety of categories, supplying more than 31 million unit cases from all of our production facilities. Ribeirão Preto’s plant led this performance supplying over 24 million unit cases in soft drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, juice, mineral water and alcoholic beverages. The Jacarepaguá plant, on the other hand, served as a key supplier for tea beverages, juice and soft drinks, reaching 5 million unit cases in 2025, while the mineral water sources at Duque de Caxias supplied an additional 2.0 million unit cases. The expansion of the Duque de Caxias facility as a multicategory site advanced significantly during 2025. The plant’s multicategory production line, which includes beer manufacturing and a newly commissioned mineral water line, began operations. These developments expanded overall category availability and strengthened the Company’s ability to meet volume requirements from other franchises across the system. In addition, the Company initiated the procurement process for a new returnable packaging production line, scheduled to begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2026.

In terms of logistics and infrastructure, Andina Brazil recorded substantial progress during the year. Key milestones included the inauguration of a new distribution center in Araraquara, the opening of the Colatina distribution center, storage capacity enhancements at the Duque de Caxias facility, and the commencement of operations in a newly acquired logistics site adjacent to the Jacarepaguá plant. Expansion works also began at the Ribeirão Preto facility. Collectively, these initiatives increased the company’s storage capacity from 99,220 pallet positions (“PL positions”) to 114,041 PL positions in 2025, representing a 14.9% year over year expansion. Capacity is expected to reach 128,990 PL positions in 2026, reflecting an additional 13.1% increase as ongoing projects advance.
In Paraguay, during 2025, we expanded our fructose storage and utilization capacity to 600 tons. This allows us greater flexibility in the use of sweeteners in our products. We installed and started up a new bottling line for returnable products, reaffirming our commitment to returnable packaging and fully complying with the labeling law enacted in Paraguay in 2023. We also installed a water recovery plant, which allows us to reduce water consumption.

Results of operation
Set forth below is a discussion and analysis of our results of operation for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Our consolidated financial results for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 include the results of our subsidiaries in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Our consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the subsidiaries outside Chile, converted into Chilean pesos (our functional and reporting currency).
IFRS requires that assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries outside of Chile be converted from the functional currency to the presentation currency (Chilean peso) at year-end exchange rates, and that income and expense accounts are converted at monthly average exchange rates for the month in which they are recognized for those subsidiaries that do not operate in hyperinflationary economies.
In the case of our Argentine subsidiaries, which have been operating in an environment that during 2023, 2024 and 2025 was classified as hyperinflationary, the conversion criteria from the functional currency of those subsidiaries to our presentation currency is the following:
| ● | First adoption of a hyperinflationary economy was in 2018: Losses and gains by correction of current non-monetary items the previous year are recorded in accumulated results as of January 1, 2018. |
| ● | The statement of financial position (balance sheet): Non-cash items are expressed in the current currency at the balance sheet date and translated to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate. Losses and gains are included in net earnings (fiscal year income). |
| ● | The income statement: Income statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period, using the variation of the general price index from the date on which the expenses and revenues were accrued, and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate. |
| ● | Cash flow statement: Cash flow statement items are expressed in the current currency unit at the end of the reporting period and translated to the presentation currency at closing exchange rate. |
For more information on the effects of the hyper-inflationary environment in Argentina, see note 2.5 of our consolidated financial statements included herein.

Net Sales
Our sales volume was 945.8 million unit cases during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 4.1% increase compared to 909.0 million unit cases in 2024, explained by the increase in volume in all countries where we operate. Volume for soft drinks, waters and juices/other non-alcoholic beverages increased 3.6%, 7.6% and 5.7%, respectively, while volume for beer and spirits decreased 2.6%, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease of sales volume of beer and spirits is mainly due to the reduction of the volume in the Brazilian, Argentinean and Chilean operations, which was partially offset by the growth of the volume in the Paraguayan operation.
Our net sales were Ch$3,344,836 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 3.7% compared to Ch$3,224,233 million during 2024. Net sales increased in our Brazilian, Chilean, and Paraguayan operations as a result of higher sales in local currency in these markets. In the case of our Argentine operations, although revenues increased in local currency, they decreased in our reporting currency due to the negative effect of translating figures from Argentina’s local currency into the reporting currency.
Soft drinks represented 63.9% of net sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 64.6% during 2024.
Chile

Our cost of sales was Ch$2,037,679 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 4.7% increase, compared to Ch$1,945,363 million during 2024. This increase is mainly explained due to (i) higher sales volumes, (ii) higher PET resin costs in Brazil and Chile, (iii) higher concentrate costs in Brazil and Paraguay, (iv) the effect of the shift in the mix toward higher unit cost products in Argentina and Paraguay, and (v) the effect of the devaluation of the local currencies of Argentina and Brazil on our dollar-denominated costs. This was partially offset by (i) lower sugar costs, (ii) lower concentrate costs in Argentina and Chile, (iii) lower PET resin costs in Argentina and Paraguay, and (iv) the effect of translating figures from our Argentine subsidiary to the reporting currency. The cost of sales per unit case increased 0.7% in the same period. Our cost of sales represented 60.9% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 60.3% for 2024.

Brazil
Our cost of sales in Brazil was Ch$591,131 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 9.0% increase compared to Ch$542,293 million during 2024. The cost of sales per unit case increased 3.6% in the same period.

Argentina
Our cost of sales in Argentina was Ch$402,210 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 6.2% decrease compared to Ch$428,873 million during 2024. The cost of sales per unit case decreased 12.0% in the same period. In local currency (in real terms, based on currency rates as of December 2025) cost of sales increased 11.2% mainly due to (i) higher sales volume, (ii) the negative effect of the devaluation of the Argentine peso on our dollar-denominated costs, and (iii) the shift in the mix toward products with a higher unit cost. This was partially offset by (i) lower concentrate costs and (ii) lower raw material costs, specifically sugar and PET resin. Our cost of sales in Argentina represented 54.1% of net sales in Argentina for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 53.7% for 2024.

We had distribution, administrative and sales expenses of Ch$851,790 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, in line with the Ch$851,788 million reported in 2024. The stability in this figure is mainly explained by the counteracting effects of decreases in costs due to (i) lower marketing costs in Brazil, (ii) higher other operating income classified under this item in Brazil, and (iii) the effect of translating figures from our Argentine subsidiary to the reporting currency. This was offset by increases in costs due to (i) higher distribution expenses, (ii) higher labor costs, (iii) lower other operating income in Argentina, Chile and Paraguay, and (iv) higher marketing expenses in Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses represented 25.5% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 26.4% for 2024.
Chile
In Chile, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$301,928 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 6.9% increase compared to Ch$282,471 million during 2024. This was mainly due to (i) higher labor costs, (ii) lower other operating income classified under this item, (iii) higher distribution expenses, and (iv) higher marketing expenses. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Chile represented 22.9% of our net sales in Chile during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 22.7% for 2024.
Brazil
In Brazil, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$214,050 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, an 0.8% increase compared to Ch$212,332 million during 2024. In local currency, they increased 3.7%, mainly explained by (i) higher freight expenses as a result of increased sales volume, (ii) higher labor costs, and (iii) higher depreciation charges. This was partially offset by (i) lower marketing expenses and (ii) higher other operating income classified under this item. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Brazil represented 21.9% of our net sales in Brazil during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 23.3% for 2024.
Argentina
In Argentina, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$260,228 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 10.1% decrease compared to Ch$289,602 million during 2024. In local currency (in real terms, based on currency rates as of December 2025), the distribution, administrative and sales expenses increased 6.6%, which is mainly explained by (i) higher distribution costs due to higher volumes, (ii) lower other operating income classified under this item, (iii) higher marketing expenses, and (iv) higher labor costs and services provided by third parties. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Argentina represented 35.0% of our net sales in Argentina during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 36.3% for 2024.
Paraguay
In Paraguay, our distribution, administrative and sales expenses were Ch$62,048 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 12.1% increase, compared to Ch$55,373 million during 2024. The distribution, administrative and sales expenses in local currency in Paraguay increased 10.2%, which is mainly explained by (i) higher distribution costs, (ii) higher marketing expenses, (iii) higher labor costs, and (iv) lower operating income classified under this item. Our distribution, administrative and sales expenses in Paraguay represented 19.7% of our net sales in Paraguay during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 19.6% for 2024.

| (59,045) |
| (74,732) |
We had other expenses, net, of Ch$74,732 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 26.6% increase compared to Ch$59,045 million during 2024. This increase is mainly explained by a lower monetary inflation effect on the tax credit in Brazil in 2025 compared to 2024. In 2024, this effect contributed Ch$8,155 million to financial income, an impact that was not present in 2025. This was partially offset by lower financial expenses in 2025.
Additionally, we experienced higher losses relate to indexation unit due to lower inflation in Argentina in 2025. This line includes the inflation adjustment in Argentina, net of the restatement effect in UF of local bonds. As a result, losses increased by Ch$9,882 million. The overall increase in expenses was partially offset by a decrease in foreign exchange differences.
Income Taxes
We had income taxes of Ch$110,157 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 17.4% decrease compared to Ch$133,393 million during 2024. This decrease is mainly explained by lower withholding taxes related to dividend remittances to Chile, higher tax expenses in Brazil associated with Juros Sobre Capital Próprio (Brazilian interest on equity tax mechanism) remittances, and lower inflation in Chile, partially offset by higher operating results.
Net Income
Due to the factors described above, we had a net income of Ch$270,477 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, a 15.3% increase compared to Ch$234,644 million during 2024. Our net income represented 8.1% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 7.3% for 2024.
Summary of Results of Operations for the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024
For information regarding the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects –A. Operating Results 2024 –Summary of Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024” in our Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 26, 2025.
Basis of Presentation
The aforementioned discussion should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB.
These financial statements reflect the consolidated financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 as well as the operating results, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, all of which were approved by the board of directors on March 31, 2026.
65
Our consolidated financial results include the results of our subsidiaries located in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Our subsidiaries outside Chile prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS and to comply with local regulations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the country in which they operate. The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the subsidiaries outside of Chile, converted to Chilean pesos (functional and reporting currency of the parent company) and are presented in accordance with IFRS. The IFRS require that balances of subsidiaries be converted from their functional currency to the presentation currency (Chilean peso). The conversion for subsidiaries operating in non-hyperinflationary environments (Brazil and Paraguay) is performed by converting the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries at year-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts must be converted at monthly average exchange rates of the month in which they are recognized. In the case of subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary environments (Argentina), non-monetary assets and liabilities and income statements are restated by the inflation rate of the hyperinflationary economy, bringing its effects to the income statement. These restated balances are converted from the functional currency to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate of each year.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Discussion of critical accounting estimates
In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of our results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS. We cannot assure you that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of accounting policies significant to our operations, please see note 2.22 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
| B. | LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES |
Capital Resources, Treasury and Funding Policies
The products we sell are usually paid for in cash or short-term credit, and therefore our main source of financing comes from the cash flow of our operations. This cash flow has been generally sufficient to cover the investments necessary for the normal course of our business, as well as the distribution of dividends approved at our general shareholders’ meeting. Should additional funding be required for potential future investments in geographic expansion or other needs, our main sources of financing are expected to be: (i) debt offerings in the Chilean and international capital markets (ii) borrowings from commercial banks, both internationally and in the local markets where we have operations; and; (iii) public equity offerings.
Certain restrictions could exist to transfer funds from our operating subsidiaries to our parent company, however during 2025, we received dividends from subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. We cannot guarantee that we will not face restrictions in the future regarding the distribution of dividends from any other foreign subsidiaries.
Our management believes that we have access to financial resources to maintain our current operations and provide for our current capital expenditure and working capital requirements, scheduled debt payments, interest and income tax payments and dividend payments to shareholders.
The amount and frequency of future dividends to our shareholders will be determined at the general shareholders’ meeting upon the proposal of our board of directors in light of our earnings and financial condition at such time, and we cannot guarantee that dividends will be declared in the future. However, it should be noted that Chilean Corporate Law requires us to distribute at least 30% of any profits generated each year.
Our board of directors has been empowered by our shareholders to define our financing and investment policies. Our bylaws do not define a strict financing structure, nor do they limit the types of investments we may make. Traditionally, we have preferred to use our own resources to finance our investments.
66
Our financing policy contemplates that each subsidiary finances its own operations. From this perspective, each subsidiary’s management focuses on cash generation and should establish clear targets for operating income, capital expenditures and levels of working capital. These targets are reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure that their objectives are met. Should additional financing needs arise, either as a result of a cash deficit or to take advantage of market opportunities, our general policy is to prefer local financing to allow for natural hedging. If local financing conditions are not acceptable, because of costs or other constraints, Andina will provide financing, or our subsidiary could finance itself in a currency different than the local one and will use derivative instruments to hedge against the operation’s functional currency.
Our cash management policy contemplates that cash surpluses be invested in low-risk securities that are mainly short-term and easily liquidated assets until such time that this surplus should be needed.
Derivative instruments are utilized only for business purposes, and not for speculative purposes. Pursuant to our currency hedge policy, forward currency contracts are used in some operations to cover the risk of local currency devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar in an amount not greater than the budgeted purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials. Depending on market conditions, instead of forward currency contracts, from time to time we prefer to utilize our cash surplus to purchase raw materials in advance to obtain better prices and a fixed exchange rate. Additionally, during 2025 we entered forward contracts to hedge our budgeted purchases of #5 sugar and # 11 sugar, which are used in our operations in Chile and Brazil, respectively.
The Company believes its balances of cash and cash equivalents, which totaled Ch$296,540 million as of December 31, 2025, along with cash generated by ongoing operations and continued access to debt markets, will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements over the next twelve months and beyond.
The Company’s material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations.
Debt
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding fixed-rate notes with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of Ch$991,601 million (collectively the “Notes”). Future interest payments associated with the Notes total Ch$442,555 million, with Ch$34,093 million payable within 12 months. Additionally, the Company incurred a bank debt of 2.4 million UF in July 2025 with principal amount totaling Ch$93,839 million. Future interest payments associated with this bank debt total Ch$12,221 million, with Ch$2,702 million payable within 12 months.
Leases
The Company has lease arrangements for certain equipment and facilities, including machinery and production lines, building and installations and technology equipment. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had fixed lease payment obligations of Ch$28,215 million, with Ch$9,626 million payable within 12 months.
Manufacturing Purchase Obligations
The Company has agreements with its collaborating entities for its operation, which are mainly related to contracts entered into to supply products and/or support services in purchase of supplies for production like sugar, beverage cans and payments to obtain rights over mineral spring waters, among others. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had manufacturing purchase obligations of Ch$177,547 million, with Ch$69,522 million payable within 12 months.
Other Purchase Obligations
The Company’s other purchase obligations primarily consist of contracts entered into to supply information technology services, company commitments with its franchisor to make investments or expenses related to the development of the franchise, staff support services, security services, maintenance services for fixed assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had other purchase obligations of Ch$44,887 million, with Ch$34,553 million payable within 12 months.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2025 vs. Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2024 and 2023
Cash flows from operating activities during 2025 amounted to Ch$461,127 million compared to Ch$357,242 million in 2024. The increase in cash flow generation was mainly due lower payments to suppliers and interest.
67
For information regarding the cash flows from operating activities 2024 vs 2023, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects –B. Liquidity and Capital Resources –Capital Resources, Treasury and Funding Policies,” in our Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2025 vs. Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2024 and 2023
Cash flows for investment activities (including purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment; investments in associated companies; and financial investments) generated a negative cash flow of Ch$248,575 million in 2025 compared to a negative cash flow of Ch$289,853 million during 2024. The variation of Ch$41,278 million with respect to the previous year is mainly explained by a lower Capex in 2025 of Ch$13,720 million, added to higher redemptions of financial instruments as compared to 2024 in the amount of Ch$27,786 million.
For information regarding the cash flows from investing activities 2024 vs 2023, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects –B. Liquidity and Capital Resources –Capital Resources, Treasury and Funding Policies,” in our Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2025 vs. Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2024 and 2023
Financing activities generated a negative cash flow of Ch$162,412 million in 2025, with a negative variation of Ch$42,654 million with respect to the previous year, which is mainly explained by a higher dividend payment in 2025, slightly offset by higher amounts from loans.
As of December 31, 2025, 14 short-term credit lines are available for an amount equivalent to Ch$203,904 million, which remain unused. In Argentina, we had the equivalent of Ch$102,247 million in credit available from eight lines of credit. In Brazil, we had the equivalent of Ch$56,322 million in credit available from three lines of credit. In Chile, we had the equivalent of Ch$32,000 million in credit available from two lines of credit. In Paraguay, we had the equivalent of Ch$13,335 million in credit available from one line of credit.
For information regarding the cash flows from financing activities 2024 vs 2023, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects –B. Liquidity and Capital Resources –Capital Resources, Treasury and Funding Policies,” in our Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Liabilities
As of December 31, 2025, our total liabilities, excluding non-controlling interest, were Ch$2,223,852 million, representing a 2.32% decrease compared to December 31, 2024.
Current liabilities decreased by Ch$175,731 million (19.4%) compared to December 2024, mainly due to a decrease in other current non-financial liabilities of Ch$141,614 million, which is explained mainly by the payment of dividends made during 2025 recognized in December 2024. In addition, there was a decrease in other current financial liabilities of Ch$47,911 million due to the payment of short-term debt with financial institutions.
Non-current liabilities increased by Ch$122,876 million, or 9.0% compared to December 2024, mainly due to the increase in other non-current financial liabilities of Ch$125,253 million as a result of the incurrence of bank debt of 2.4 million UF contracted in July 2025. This increase was also influenced by variation in the UF, the effect of the exchange rate, and the mark-to-market of cross-currency swaps linked to the Company’s bonds.
68
As of December 31, 2025, our bond obligation had a weighted average interest rate of 4.8% in UF, 3.95% in US$ and 2.71% in CHF, while our bank obligation had a weighted average interest rate of 2.84% in UF and 6.54% for debts in Chilean pesos.
The following table presents future expirations for additional long-term liabilities. These expirations have been estimated based on accounting estimates because the liabilities do not have specific dates of future payment, as allowance for severance indemnities, contingencies, and liabilities are included.

Summary of Significant Debt Instruments
As of December 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with all its debt covenants which are summarized below:
Series B Local Bonds (BANDI-B1; BANDI-B2)
During 2001, we issued in Chile Series B bonds. This issuance was structured into two series, one of which matured in 2008. As of December 31, 2025, Series B is the outstanding series with sub-series B1 and B2. During 2001, UF 3.7 million in bonds were issued with final maturity in 2026, bearing an annual interest rate of 6.5%. The Series B Local Bonds are subject to the following restrictive covenants:
| ● | In October 2020, the covenant of Consolidated Financial Liabilities / Consolidated Equity was amended as the following: Maintain an indebtedness level where Net Consolidated Financial Liabilities shall not exceed Consolidated Equity by 1.20 times. For these purposes Net Consolidated Financial Liabilities will be the result of: (i) Other Current Financial Liabilities, plus (ii) Other Non-Current Financial Liabilities, less (iii) the sum of Cash and Cash Equivalents; plus, Other Current Financial Assets; plus Other Non-Current Financial Assets (to the extent that they correspond to the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities). |
| ● | Maintain and not lose, sell, assign, or transfer to a third party the geographical area today called the “Metropolitan Region”, as franchised territory in Chile by The Coca-Cola Company, for the development, production, sale and distribution of products and brands of such licensor, in accordance with the respective bottling agreement or license, renewable from time to time. |
| ● | Not lose, sell, assign, or transfer to a third party any other territory of Argentina or Brazil, which to date is franchised to the Company by The Coca-Cola Company for the manufacture, production, sale and distribution of products and brands of such licensor; as long as these territories account for more than 40% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Operating Flow. |
| ● | Maintain consolidated assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien by an amount, at least equal to 1.3 times the Company’s unsecured consolidated current liabilities. |

69
Series C Local Bonds (BEKOP-C)
As a consequence of our merger with Polar, we became an obligor under the following outstanding bonds issued by Polar in Chile in 2010.

This series is subject to the following restrictions:
| ● | Maintain a level of Net Financial Indebtedness within its quarterly financial statements that may not exceed 1.5 times, measured by figures included in the Company Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For these purposes, net financial indebtedness level is defined as the ratio of net financial debt to total equity of the Company (equity attributable to the owners of the controllers plus non-controlling interests). Net financial debt means the difference between the Company financial debt and cash. |
| ● | Maintain consolidated assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien by an amount, at least equal to 1.3 times the Company’s unsecured consolidated current liabilities. |
Unencumbered Assets are (a) assets that meet the following conditions: (i) they are the property of the Company, (ii) they are classified under Total Assets in the Company’s Financial Statement and, (iii) they are free of any pledge, mortgage or other levies constituted in favor of third parties, less (b) Other Current Financial Assets and Other Non-Current Financial Assets included in the Company’s Financial Statements (to the extent they correspond to the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities).

| ● | Maintain a Net Financial Coverage ratio greater than 3.0 times. Net financial coverage is the ratio between the Company’s EBITDA for the past 12 months and the Company’s Net Financial Expenses. Net financial Expenses is defined as the difference between the absolute value of the interest expenses associated with the issuer’s financial debt recorded in the “Financial Costs” account; and interest income associated with the issuer’s cash, recorded in the Financial Income account, for the past 12 months. However, this restriction will be considered breached when the mentioned net financial coverage ratio is lower than the ratio previously indicated during two consecutive quarters. |
In July 2020, derivatives were contracted (Cross Currency Swaps) that cover 100% of UF denominated financial obligations, redenominating them to Chilean pesos.
Series D and E Local Bonds (BANDI-D; BANDI-E)
During 2013 and 2014, Andina placed local bonds in the Chilean market. The issuance was structured into three series, one of which matured in 2020.

| ● | UF 3.0 million of Series E Bonds due 2035 were issued in March 2014, bearing an annual interest rate of 3.75%. |
The Series D and E local bonds are subject to the following restrictions:
| ● | Maintain an indebtedness level where Net Consolidated Financial Liabilities shall not exceed Consolidated Equity by 1.20 times. |
70
For these purposes Net Consolidated Financial Liabilities will be the result of: (i) Other Current Financial Liabilities, plus (ii) Other Non-Current Financial Liabilities, less (iii) the sum of Cash and Cash Equivalents; plus, Other Current Financial Assets; plus, Other Non-Current Financial Assets (to the extent that they correspond to the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities).
Consolidated Equity is total equity including non-controlling interests.
| ● | Maintain consolidated assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien by an amount, at least equal to 1.3 times the Company’s unsecured consolidated current liabilities. |
Unsecured Consolidated Current Liabilities are the Company’s total liabilities, obligations and debts that are not secured with real guarantees on goods and assets of the latter, made voluntarily or by agreement by the Company, less the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities accounted for under Other Current Financial Assets and Other Non-current Financial Assets of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
For purposes of determining Consolidated Assets these will consider assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien, as well as those assets that have real liens, mortgage or encumbrances that operate only by law. Therefore, Consolidated Assets free of any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance are regarded as those assets for which no real lien, mortgage or other encumbrance has been made voluntarily or by agreement by the Company, less the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities accounted for under Other Current Financial Assets and Other Non-current Financial Assets of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
| ● | Maintain and not lose, sell, assign, or transfer to a third party the Metropolitan Region, as franchised territory in Chile by The Coca-Cola Company for the production, sale and distribution of products and brands of the licensor. Losing said territory means the non-renewal, cancellation, early termination or annulment of the license agreement granted by The Coca-Cola Company for the Metropolitan Region. |
| ● | Not lose, sell, assign, or transfer to a third party any other territory of Argentina or Brazil, which as of the issuance date of the Series D and E local bonds were franchised to the Company by The Coca-Cola Company for the manufacture, production, sale and distribution of products and brands of The Coca-Cola Company; as long as these territories account for more than 40% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Operating Flow of the audited fiscal year immediately prior to the moment when such loss, sale, assignment or transfer occurs. For these purposes Adjusted Consolidated Operating Flow is the addition of the following accounting items of the Issuer’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position: (i) Gross Income, including revenue and cost of sales, less (ii) Distribution Costs, less (iii) Administrative Expenses, plus (iv) Participation in Earnings (Losses) of Associates and Joint Ventures accounted for using the Equity Method, plus (v) Depreciation, plus (vi) Amortization of Intangibles. |
In July 2020, derivatives were contracted (Cross Currency Swaps) that cover 100% of UF denominated financial obligations, redenominating them to Chilean pesos.
Series F Local Bonds (BANDI-F)
During 2018, Andina undertook the partial repurchase (US$210 million) of the Senior Notes due 2023, which was refinanced with the placement of the Series F Local Bonds in the Chilean local market. These bonds were issued in October 2018, in the amount of UF 5.7 million, accruing an annual interest rate of 2.8% and with a maturity of 2039.
The Series F local bonds are subject to the following restrictions:
| ● | Maintain an indebtedness level where Net Consolidated Financial Liabilities shall not exceed Consolidated Equity by 1.20 times. |
For these purposes Net Consolidated Financial Liabilities will be the result of: (i) Other Current Financial Liabilities, plus (ii) Other Non-Current Financial Liabilities, less (iii) the sum of Cash and Cash Equivalents; plus, Other Current Financial Assets; plus, Other Non-Current Financial Assets (to the extent that they correspond to the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities).
Consolidated Equity is total equity including non-controlling interests.
71
| ● | Maintain consolidated assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien by an amount, at least equal to 1.3 times the Company’s unsecured consolidated current liabilities |
Unsecured Consolidated Current Liabilities are the Company’s total liabilities, obligations and debts that are not secured with real guarantees on goods and assets of the latter, made voluntarily or by agreement by the Company, less the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities accounted for under Other Current Financial Assets and Other Non-current Financial Assets of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
For purposes of determining Consolidated Assets these will consider assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other lien, as well as those assets that have real liens, mortgage or encumbrances that operate only by law. Therefore, Consolidated Assets free of any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance shall be regarded as those assets for which no real lien, mortgage or other encumbrance has been made voluntarily or by agreement by the Company, less the active balances of derivative financial instruments, taken to cover exchange rate risks or interest rate risks on financial liabilities accounted for under Other Current Financial Assets and Other Non-current Financial Assets of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Senior Notes due 2050
On January 21, 2020, the Company issued a US$300 million Senior Bond in the U.S. market under 144A/Reg S regulations. These notes are unsecured obligations with the whole principal amount due in 2050, with an annual coupon rate of 3.950%. The proceeds from these notes were used to finance general corporate purposes which could include an eventual payment of existing liabilities, financing of potential acquisitions and improvement of the Company’s liquidity position.
At the same time, derivative contracts (cross currency swaps) have been entered into to fully redenominate financial obligations denominated in U.S. dollars to UF and CLP.
Senior Notes due 2028
In September 2023, the Company issued a 5-year corporate bond for CHF$170 million in the Swiss market under local regulations. These notes are unsecured obligations with the whole principal amount due in 2028, with an annual fixed rate of 2.7175%. The proceeds from these notes were used mainly to refinance the Company’s 2023 Senior Unsecured Bond and to finance investments in Brazil.

| C. | RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES |
Given the nature of the business and the support provided by The Coca-Cola Company as franchisor to its bottlers, the Company’s research and development expenses are not meaningful. For more information on patents and licenses, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – Bottler Agreements.”
| D. | TREND INFORMATION |
Our results will likely continue to be influenced by changes in the level of consumer demand in the countries in which we operate, resulting from governmental economic measures that are or may be implemented in the future. Additionally, the main raw materials used in the production of soft drinks, such as sugar and resin, may experience price increases in the future. Such price increases may affect our results if we are unable to pass on the cost increases to the sales price of our products due to depressed consumer demand and/or heightened competition.
Increased competition from low-price brands is another factor that could limit our ability to grow, and thus negatively affect our results.
73
Additionally, exchange rate fluctuations, in particular the potential devaluations relative to the U.S. dollar of local currencies in the countries in which we operate, may adversely affect our results because of the impact on the cost of U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials and the conversion of monetary assets.

Chile
In Chile, we have continued with the severance indemnity provision that employees are entitled to according to collective bargaining agreements and current legislation, which grants all employees one month per year of service with certain limits. Additionally, we benefit our employees with a contribution to a supplementary health insurance system in addition to that paid by the worker, which contributes to reducing the health costs of their families. On the other hand, employees are required to contribute funds to finance their retirement pensions. These pension funds are mostly managed by private entities.
In Chile, 66,47% of employees with indefinite employment contracts are affiliated with a labor union organization, with a total of 12 labor unions organizations and a total of 17 collective bargaining agreements.
Brazil
In Brazil, 11.51% of our employees are members of labor unions. Collective bargaining agreements are negotiated on an industry-wide basis, although companies can negotiate special terms for their affiliates that apply to all employees in each jurisdiction where companies have a plant. Collective bargaining agreements are generally binding for one year.
With respect to Andina Brazil, there are 35 collective bargaining agreements in force as of December 31, 2025.
The agreements do not require us to increase wages on a collective basis. Selected increases were granted, however, according to inflation. We provide benefits to our employees according to the relevant legislation and to the collective bargaining agreements. Andina Brazil experienced its most recent work stoppages in December 2014, for three days organized by the drivers of internal buses in the Espírito Santo operation. However, as this operation no longer uses internal buses, such work stoppages are not expected to occur in the future.
Argentina
In Argentina, 66.2% of EDASA’s employees are parties to collective bargaining agreements and are represented by local workers’ unions associated with a national federation of unions. The Argentine Chamber of Non-Alcoholic Beverages of the Argentine Republic (Cámara Argentina de Industria de Bebidas sin Alcohol de la República Argentina) (the “Chamber”) and the Argentine Workers Federation of Carbonated Water (Federación Argentina de Trabajadores de Aguas Gaseosas) (the “Federation”) are parties to a collective bargaining agreement that began July 29, 2008. Historically, the Federation and the Chamber convened once a year to discuss salary conditions for the upcoming year. However, due to the lower inflation rates recorded in Argentina in 2025, the Chamber and the Federation reached two wage agreements: the first covering salaries from January to July 2025 and the second covering salaries from August to December of the same year.
Argentine law requires severance payments upon dismissal without cause in an amount at least equal to an average of one-month’s wages for each year of employment or a fraction thereof if employed longer than three months. Severance payments are subject to maximum and minimum amounts fixed by legislations and jurisprudence of the Justice Supreme Court of Argentina.
On December 13, 2019, a public emergency in occupational matters was declared, which was in force throughout 2021. Consequently, during this period in the event of an employee’s dismissal without just cause, the employees shall be entitled to receive double the compensation referred to in the preceding paragraph. Along with this, on March 31, 2020, by means of a Decree of Need and Urgency, the national government banned dismissals without just cause and on the grounds of lack or decrease in labor and force majeure. This measure was originally valid for 90 days, but then had successive extensions, such that the measure was in force throughout 2021, but not in the subsequent years (2022 to 2025).
All employee contributions are made to the state social security system. Most of the health system in the Argentine territory is run by the unions through contributions from employees within the Collective Work Agreements (CCT — Convenios Colectivos de Trabajo).
Paraguay
In Paraguay, 23% of PARESA’s employees are members of labor unions. Collective bargaining agreements are negotiated with the company (Coca-Cola Paresa Paraguay). Unions can negotiate special terms for their members, which are applicable to all employees. Collective bargaining agreements generally have a two year term of duration.

| ● | amendment of the number of our directors; |
| ● | issuances of new shares; |
| ● | spin-offs or mergers; |
| ● | capital increases (subject to certain indebtedness thresholds); and |
| ● | the joint acquisition of our Series A shares. |
In connection with The Coca-Cola Company’s investment in us, The Coca-Cola Company and our controlling shareholders entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement dated September 5, 1996, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement or Shareholders’ Agreement”, included as exhibit to this annual report), providing for certain restrictions on the transfer of shares of our capital stock by the Coca-Cola Shareholders and our controlling shareholders. Specifically, our controlling shareholders are restricted from transferring their Series A shares without the prior authorization of The Coca-Cola Company. The Shareholders’ Agreement also provides for certain corporate governance matters, including the right of the Coca-Cola shareholders to elect two members of our board of directors as long as The Coca-Cola Company and its subsidiaries collectively own, in aggregate, a certain percentage of the Series A shares. In addition, in related agreements, our controlling shareholders granted The Coca-Cola Company an option, exercisable upon the occurrence of certain changes in the beneficial ownership of the controlling shareholders, to acquire 100% of the Series A shares held by our controlling shareholders at a price and in accordance with procedures established in such agreements.

| B. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
In the ordinary course of our business, we engage in a variety of transactions with certain of our affiliates and related parties. Financial information concerning these transactions is set forth in note 12.3 to our consolidated financial statements and were carried out under the following conditions: (i) they were previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, with the abstention of the director involved in the corresponding case; (ii) the purpose of these transactions was to contribute to the Company’s interest; and (iii) they were consistent with prevailing market price, terms and conditions at the time of their approval. Our Directors’ Committee is responsible for evaluating transactions with related parties and for reporting these transactions to the full board of directors. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors’ Committee.”
Our management believes, to the best of its knowledge, that it has complied in all material respects with the Chilean Public Company law regarding to the transactions with related parties in effect as of December 31, 2025. There can be no assurance, however, that these regulations will not be modified in the future.

Contingencies
We are party to certain legal proceedings that have arisen during the normal course of business, and we believe none of them are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In accordance with accounting principles, the provisions regarding legal proceedings and other contingencies must be recorded if such procedures or contingencies are reasonably probable to be resolved against the Company and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the corresponding obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of such obligation.
The following table represents accounting provisions made as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, for probable loss contingencies stemming from labor, tax, commercial and other litigation faced by our Company:

Dividend Policy
The declaration and payment of dividends are determined, subject to the limitations set forth below, by the affirmative vote of a majority of our shareholders at a general shareholders’ meeting, based upon the recommendation of our board of directors.
At our annual general shareholders’ meeting, our board of directors submits our annual financial statements for the preceding fiscal year together with reports prepared by our Audit Committee for approval by our shareholders. Once our shareholders have approved our annual financial statements, they determine the allocation of our net income, after provision for income taxes and legal reserves for the preceding year and considering the accumulation of losses from prior periods. All shares of our capital stock outstanding at the time a dividend or other distribution is declared are entitled to share equally in that dividend or other distribution, except that holders of our Series B shares are entitled to a dividend 10% greater than any dividend on Series A shares.
88
Pursuant to Chilean law, we must distribute cash dividends equal to at least 30% of our annual net income, calculated in accordance with IFRS. If we do not record any net income in a given year, we are not legally required to distribute dividends from accumulated earnings. At the general shareholders’ meeting to be held on April 16, 2026, we expect our shareholders to approve a distribution of dividends.
During 2023, 2024 and 2025, our respective general shareholders’ meetings approved additional dividend payments to be paid from retained earnings, given our significant cash generation. These additional dividend payments for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are not indicative of whether or not additional dividend payments will be made in any future period.
The following table sets forth the amount in Chilean pesos of dividends declared and paid per share each year and the U.S. dollar amounts paid to shareholders (each ADR represents six shares), on each of the respective payment dates:

We are not aware of any changes bearing upon our financial condition since the date of the financial statements included in this annual report.
ITEM 9.THE OFFER AND LISTING
| A. | OFFER AND LISTING DETAILS |
Our common shares are listed and traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange and on the Bolsa Electrónica de Chile (the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange).
Also, our common shares have been traded in the United States on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) since July 14, 1994 in the form of ADRs, which represent six common shares each. The Depositary for the ADRs is The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.
The total number of registered ADR holders we had at December 31, 2025 was 29 (22 in the Series A ADRs and 7 in the Series B ADRs). As of that date the ADRs represented 2.21% of the total number of our issued and outstanding shares. On December 31, 2025, the closing price for the Series A shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange was Ch$3,600,00 per share (US$ 23.30 per Series A ADR) and Ch$4,220.00.00 for the Series B shares (US$ 27.900 per Series B ADR). As of December 31, 2025, there were 492,513 Series A ADRs (equivalent to 2,955,078 Series A shares) and 2,994,625 Series B ADRs (equivalent to 17,967,750 Series B shares).
Trading activity on the Santiago Stock Exchange is on average substantially less than that on the principal national securities exchanges in the United States.

| B. | MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION |
Our bylaws (“Estatutos”) are included as an exhibit to this annual report, and are also available on our website www.koandina.com, under Corporate Governance/Key Policies and Principles. The following is a summary of the material provisions of our bylaws. The last amendment of our bylaws was approved on July 12, 2012.
Organization
We are a publicly held company and were incorporated on February 7, 1946. Our legal domicile is the city of Santiago, Chile, notwithstanding the special domiciles of offices, agencies or branches that are established in the country as well as abroad. Our duration is indefinite.
Purposes
Our corporate purposes are to execute and develop the following:
| ● | Develop one or more industrial establishments dedicated to the business, operations and activities to manufacture, produce, transform, bottle, can, distribute, transport, import, export, purchase, sell and market in general, in any form and in any way, any type of food product and in particular any type of mineral water, juice, beverage and drink in general or other similar products, and raw materials or semi-finished materials used in such activities and/or products complementary or related to the preceding businesses and activities; |
| ● | Develop one or more agricultural or agro industrial establishments and farmland dedicated to the business, operations and development of agricultural activities and agro industry in general; |
| ● | Produce, transform, distribute, transport, import, export, purchase, sell and market in general, in any form and in any way, any type of agricultural products and/or agro industrial products and raw materials, or semi-finished materials used in such activities, and/or products complementary or related to the preceding activities; |
| ● | Manufacture, distribute, transport, import, export, purchase, sell and market in general, in any form and in any way, any type of container; and execute and develop any type of material recycling process and activity; |
| ● | Accept from and/or grant the representation of trademarks, products and/or licenses related to such businesses, activities, operations and products to national or foreign companies; |
90
| ● | Provide any type of service and/or technical assistance in any way related to the goods, products, businesses and activities referred to in the preceding letters; |
| ● | Invest cash surplus, even in the capital market; and |
| ● | In general, undertake all other businesses and activities supplementary or linked to the above mentioned operations. |
We may execute our objectives directly or by participating as a partner or shareholder in other companies or by acquiring rights or interests in any other type of association related to the aforementioned activities.
Voting Rights
Our capital equity is divided into Series A shares and Series B shares, both preferred and with no par value, whose features, rights and privileges are the following:
| ● | The preference of Series A shares consists solely of the right to elect twelve out of the fourteen board members of the Company. Series A shares are entitled to full voting rights without limitations. |
| ● | The preference of Series B shares consists solely of the right to receive all and any of the per share dividends we may distribute, whether temporary, definitive, minimum mandatory, additional, or eventual, increased by 10%. Series B shares are entitled to a limited voting right, voting only with respect to the election of two board members for the Company. |
| ● | The preferences of Series A and B shares will remain in effect through December 31, 2130. Once this period has expired, Series A and B will be eliminated and the shares which comprise them shall automatically become common shares without any preferences whatsoever, therefore eliminating the division of shares into series. |
Board of Directors and Shareholder Meetings
The members of the board of Directors are proposed and elected every three years during the annual general shareholders’ meeting. Separate voting of the Series A and Series B shareholder elect board members. As mentioned, Series A shares elect twelve directors, and Series B shares elect two Directors.
Board members are elected by separate voting at Series A and Series B shareholders’ meeting and will hold their offices for three years with the possibility to be re-elected for an indefinite number of periods. Even though we have not established a formal process that allows our shareholders to communicate with the directors, shareholders desiring to do so may share their opinions, considerations or recommendations before or during the corresponding shareholders’ meeting which will be heard and attended by the Chairman of the Board, or by the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, and any such recommendations will be submitted for resolution by the shareholders in attendance during the meeting.
Regular general shareholders’ meetings are held once a year within the first four months following the date of the annual balance sheet. We prepare a balance sheet annually on our operations as of December 31, which is presented together with the profit and loss statement, the report by the auditors and annual report to the respective shareholders’ meeting. The board makes available a copy of the balance sheet, annual report, report by the auditors and respective notes to each of the shareholders registered in the registry no later than by the date the first summons is published. Special shareholders’ meetings may be held at any time according to corporate needs and to discuss and decide upon any matter within the competence thereof, provided it is indicated in the summons. Being a shareholder of the Company is the only condition for entry to a shareholder’s meeting.

See “Item 4. Information on the Company - Bottler Agreements and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Summary of Significant Debt Instruments”.
| D. | EXCHANGE CONTROLS |
Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile
The Central Bank of Chile (“BCCh”) is responsible for, among other matters, setting monetary policies and regulating foreign exchange operations.
91
As of January 1, 2026, the new Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales (“CNCI”) entered into force, replacing the previous framework. The CNCI consolidates and modernizes the rules applicable to international exchange transactions, maintaining the principle of exchange freedom while establishing updated requirements for reporting and channeling operations through the Mercado Cambiario Formal (“MCF”). The purpose of these amendments, as declared by the BCCh, is to facilitate the capital flows into and out of Chile, foster foreign investment and strengthen transparency in the balance of payments.
Equity investments in Chile (including stock purchases) by non-resident persons or entities must comply with the reporting and channeling requirements established in the CNCI.
Any foreign individual or legal entity, as well as Chileans with residence abroad, may invest in Chile under the general regime of exchange freedom, provided that transactions are reported to the BCCh when required and conducted through the MCF when applicable.
Under the CNCI, foreign investors are no longer required to obtain special certificates or contracts (such as the former Foreign Investment Contract or Chapter XIV authorizations). Instead, they must comply with standardized reporting obligations through the Integrated Information System (SICAM), which centralizes the submission of data on cross-border transactions.
Issuances of ADRs by Chilean corporations are now treated as ordinary foreign investments. They do not require prior approval from the BCCh, but they must be reported in accordance with CNCI rules. Funds related to ADR transactions, dividends, or share sales must be channeled through the MCF when entering or leaving the country.
Repatriation of amounts received with respect to shares, ADRs, or other securities—including dividends, sale proceeds, liquidation distributions, or capital reductions—must be carried out through the MCF and reported to the BCCh under the CNCI.
Access to foreign currency through the MCF is guaranteed under the CNCI framework, provided that the relevant reporting obligations are met. Unlike the previous regime, FEM access is no longer subject to individual contracts with the BCCh, but rather to compliance with general rules applicable to all investors.
The CNCI establishes that the BCCh cannot unilaterally restrict exchange freedom, but it retains the authority to impose reporting obligations and channeling requirements.
| E. | TAXATION |
Tax Considerations Relating to Equity Securities
Chilean Tax Considerations.
The following discussion summarizes the material Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in Andina’s stock or ADRs by an individual who is not domiciled or resident in Chile or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment in Chile (“foreign holder”). This analysis is based on the Chilean Income Tax Law currently in force and on the applicable administrative jurisprudence, including Ruling No. 324 dated January 29, 1990 issued by the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“SII”), as well as on the current income tax treaty between Chile and the United States (the “Treaty”), together with other applicable regulations and rules that are subject to change without prior notice The discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation. Each investor or potential investor is encouraged to seek independent tax advice with respect to consequences of investing in Andina’s stock or ADRs.
Dividends
Dividend distributions to investors who are natural or legal persons residing or domiciled abroad are subject to an additional withholding tax of 35%, with the right to a corporate income tax credit for the corporate tax (First Category Tax, currently at a rate of 27%) paid by Andina. Shareholders can claim a credit for 100% of the corporate tax if they are resident in a country that has a double taxation treaty with Chile, and only 65% of the corporate tax if they are resident in a country without such a treaty. The treaty to avoid double taxation between Chile and the United States came into force in December 2023; therefore, dividends paid by Andina to a shareholder resident in the United States are subject to a withholding tax of 35% minus a credit for 100% of the corporate tax (currently at a rate of 27%) paid by Andina.
92
Distributions made to investors residing or domiciled in Chile are taxed by personal taxes (“Supplementary Global Tax”) which have progressive rates ranging from 0% to 40%. The tax credit limitation also applies to these investors; thus, they are taxed with an additional tax (“debit”) equivalent to 35% of the corporate tax credit.
Capital Gains
Profits recognized from the sale or exchange of ADRs by a foreign holder made outside Chile are not subject to Chilean taxation. Capital gains generated by the sale of shares on the stock exchange are subject, as a general rule, to a 10% capital gains tax. This tax does not apply if the shareholder is resident in the United States and the conditions established in Article 13, No. 6, letters b) and c) of the Treaty are met. Essentially, these conditions are met when the shares are sold by an institutional investor on a Chilean stock exchange or another type of investor on a stock exchange (recognized by Chile or the United States, as applicable) or in a public share offering, insofar as, in the latter case, the shares have been acquired on a Chilean stock exchange, in a public share offering, in a placement of shares from a first issue or in an exchange of bonds convertible into shares.
The tax cost of the shares of common stock received in exchange for ADRs (“conversion”) is determined in accordance with the valuation procedure established in the Deposit Agreement, which values the common shares at the highest sale price recorded on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date the common shares are withdrawn. Accordingly, the conversion of ADRs into common shares, and the immediate sale of such shares at the value established pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, does not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile. However, if the sale of the shares occurs on a day different from the date on which the conversion is recorded, the resulting capital gain may be subject to taxation in Chile. With respect to this matter, on October 1, 1999, the SII issued Ruling No. 3,708, through which it allowed Chilean issuers of ADRs to amend their deposit agreements to include a clause providing that, if the exchanged shares are sold by ADR holders on the Santiago Stock Exchange, either on the same day the exchange is recorded or within the two business days prior to such date, the acquisition price of such exchanged shares shall correspond to the price indicated on the invoice issued by the securities broker involved in the sale transaction. Therefore, this modification is included in the Deposit Agreement, any capital gain —that may be generated when the conversion date differs from the sale date— may not be subject to taxation, provided that the SII maintains this criterion and the taxpayer acts in good faith, which the taxpayer must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the authority in the event of a challenge.
The distribution and exercise of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock are not subject to taxation in Chile. Any capital gain from the sale or assignment of preemptive rights will be subject to general taxation.
The tax treaty to avoid double taxation between Chile and the United States
The current income tax treaty between Chile and the United States entered into force in December 2023, and the following are among its tax effects:
| ● | The Treaty (art. 10) establishes maximum withholding tax rates on dividends of 5% or 15%, depending on the shareholder’s level of ownership (a maximum rate of 5% applies if the beneficial owner holds 10% or more of the voting shares of the company paying the dividend, and a 15% rate applies in all other cases). This benefit provided under the Treaty will not be applicable, in the case of Chile, for as long as Chile maintains its integrated tax system. Therefore, the withholding tax rate on dividends paid from Chile to a U.S. resident remains 35%, but with a credit for 100% of the 27% corporate tax paid by the Chilean company. |
| ● | The entry into force of the Treaty does not have any effect on the exemptions applicable to capital gains derived from the sale of ADRs. In the case of the sale of shares issued by a Chilean company by a U.S. resident, if certain conditions are met, the Treaty provides for exclusive taxing rights in the United States, including in the case of shares sold on a recognized stock exchange in Chile or in a public offer regulated by law. Therefore, under the Treaty, the capital gain arising from the sale of such shares may be exempt from taxation in Chile. |
Other Chilean Taxes
The transfer of ADRs by a foreign holder is not subject to inheritance tax or donation tax. These taxes may only apply in case of donation or hereditary transfer of common shares.
The issuance, registration or transfer of ADRs or common shares is not taxed with Stamp and Seal Tax or any other similar tax.
93
Withholding Tax Certificates
Upon request, we will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of Chilean withholding taxes applied in Chile on earnings distributed to foreign holders.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Relating to ADRs or Shares of Common Stock.
The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in ADRs or shares of common stock. This discussion is based upon U.S. federal income tax laws presently in force. The discussion is not a full description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase ADRs or shares of common stock. In particular, the discussion is directed only to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold ADRs or shares of common stock as capital assets, and it does not address the tax treatment of holders that are subject to special tax rules under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships or other pass-through entities, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, persons holding ADRs or shares of common stock as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, holders that own or are deemed to own 10% or more of our shares (by vote or value), persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to ADRs or shares of common stock as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement, persons liable for alternative minimum tax or persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, as well as the Treaty, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. In addition, the discussion below assumes that the Deposit Agreement, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms. If a partnership holds ADRs or shares of common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding ADRs or shares of common stock should consult their tax advisors. This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a holder in light of its particular circumstances and does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income, U.S. federal estate and gift taxes or the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws.
Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors about the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADRs or shares of common stock.
As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of ADRs or shares of common stock that is (i) an individual U.S. citizen or resident, (ii) a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust that: (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and with respect to which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
If the obligations contemplated by the Deposit Agreement are performed in accordance with its terms, ADR holders generally will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the owners of the shares of common stock represented by those ADRs. Deposits or withdrawals of shares of common stock by U.S. holders in exchange for ADRs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Cash Dividends and Other Distributions
Cash distributions (including the amount of any Chilean taxes withheld) paid to U.S. holders with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock generally will be treated as dividend income to such U.S. holders, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such income will be includable in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary income on the day received by the Depositary, in the case of ADRs, or by the U.S. holder, in the case of shares of common stock. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporations under the Code.
94
Subject to applicable limitations (including a minimum holding period requirement), dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders from a qualified foreign corporation may be treated as “qualified dividend income” that is subject to reduced rates of taxation. A qualified foreign corporation includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States which the U.S. Treasury Department determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and which includes an exchange of information provision. The U.S. Treasury Department has determined that the Treaty meets these requirements, and we believe we are eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. A foreign corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on shares (or ADRs backed by such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that our ADRs (which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange), but not our shares of common stock, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There also can be no assurance that our ADRs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States in later years. Non-corporate U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given their particular circumstances.
Dividends paid in Chilean pesos will be includable in income in a U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate in effect on the day of receipt by the Depositary, in the case of ADRs, or by the U.S. holder, in the case of shares of common stock, regardless of whether the Chilean pesos are converted into U.S. dollars. If the Chilean pesos received as dividends are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder will have a basis in the Chilean pesos equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Chilean pesos will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss, regardless of whether the pesos are converted into U.S. dollars.
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, including a minimum holding period requirement, any Chilean withholding tax (net of any credit for the corporate income tax) paid by or for the account of any U.S. holder may be eligible for credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock will generally be foreign source income and will generally constitute passive category income. However, U.S. Treasury regulations addressing foreign tax credits (the “Foreign Tax Credit Regulations”) impose additional requirements for foreign taxes to be eligible for a foreign tax credit if the relevant taxpayer does not elect to apply the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, and there can be no assurance that those requirements will be satisfied for a U.S. holder that does not elect to apply the benefits of the Treaty. The Treasury and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) are considering proposing amendments to the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations. In addition, notices from the IRS provide temporary relief by allowing taxpayers that comply with applicable requirements to apply many aspects of the foreign tax credit regulations as they previously existed (before the release of the current Foreign Tax Credit Regulations) for taxable years ending before the date that a notice or other guidance withdrawing or modifying the temporary relief is issued (or any later date specified in such notice or other guidance). Instead of claiming a foreign tax credit, a U.S. holder may be able to deduct any Chilean withholding tax in computing its taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law (including that a U.S. holder is not eligible for a deduction for otherwise creditable foreign income taxes paid or accrued in a taxable year if such U.S. holder claims a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid or accrued in the same taxable year). The rules governing the foreign tax credit and deductions for foreign taxes are complex. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations (and the related temporary relief in the IRS notices) and the availability of the foreign tax credit or a deduction under their particular circumstances.
Distributions to U.S. holders of additional shares of common stock or preemptive rights with respect to shares of common stock that are made as part of a pro rata distribution to all shareholders of the Company generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ADRs or shares of common stock, and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. However, we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. holder should expect that a distribution will generally be reported and treated as a dividend (as discussed above).
Passive Foreign Investment Company
We do not believe that we are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) and expect to continue our operations in such a manner that we will not be a PFIC. If, however, we are or become a PFIC, U.S. holders could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred by the U.S. holder under the PFIC rules of the U.S. federal income tax laws.
95
Non-corporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.
Capital Gains
U.S. holders that hold ADRs or shares of common stock as capital assets will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the sale or other disposition of such ADRs or shares (or preemptive rights with respect to shares) held by the U.S. holder or the Depositary. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Consequently, in the case of a disposition of shares of common stock or preemptive rights (which, unlike a disposition of ADRs, may be taxable in Chile), the U.S. holder may not be able to use a foreign tax credit for any Chilean tax imposed on the disposition unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income from foreign sources. However, pursuant to the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations, unless a U.S. holder elects to apply the benefits of the Treaty, any such Chilean tax would generally not be a foreign income tax eligible for a foreign tax credit (regardless of any other income that a U.S. holder may have that is from foreign sources). In such case, the non-creditable Chilean tax may reduce the amount realized on the disposition of the shares or preemptive rights. As discussed above, however, notices from the IRS provide temporary relief by allowing taxpayers that comply with applicable requirements to apply many aspects of the foreign tax credit regulations as they previously existed (before the release of the current Foreign Tax Credit Regulations) for taxable years ending before the date that a notice or other guidance withdrawing or modifying the temporary relief is issued (or any later date specified in such notice or other guidance). If any Chilean tax is imposed upon the disposition of shares of common stock or preemptive rights and a U.S. holder applies such temporary relief, such Chilean tax may be eligible for a foreign tax credit or deduction, subject to the applicable conditions and limitations. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations (and the related temporary relief in the IRS notices) and the availability of the foreign tax credit or a deduction under their particular circumstances.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends in respect of ADRs or shares of common stock or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of ADRs or shares of common stock paid within the United States (and in certain cases, outside of the United States) to U.S. holders other than certain exempt recipients. Likewise, a backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number and a certification that it is not subject to backup withholding or fails to report interest and dividends required to be shown on its federal income tax returns. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

ITEM 11.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The main sources of systematic risks that the Company is exposed to are: changes in interest rates and changes in currency exchange rates.
Particularly, interest rates increase, and currency exchange rates depreciation may affect the Company financial strategy given the various currency denominated debt the Company currently holds. To protect the Company against market volatility, hedging policies have been set with the objective to regulate the use of financial derivatives by management. The use of these instruments had been strictly designed for hedging purposes, leaving out any speculation and trading use.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s debt is mainly denominated in UF (local inflation indexed Chilean currency), U.S. dollar fixed rate bond and CHF Swiss franc fixed rate bond. Bank debt represents a smaller proportion of the total debt and it’s denominated in various local currencies in either fixed or variable rates. Given that the main portion of the debt is in fixed rate, the main risk is the interest rate increase at the moment of refinancing mature debt.
On the other hand, our cash is invested in certain short-term securities mainly in fixed interest rate.
97
The following table provides information about the Company’s debt (bonds & bank debt) and short-term investments that have exposure to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2025.

In order to protect the Company from the effects on results due to the volatility of the Brazilian real against the CHF Swiss franc (CHF$170 million of Senior Notes in the Swiss market), we have entered into currency swaps that cover 100% of our Swiss franc-denominated financial obligations, thereby mitigating our exchange rate exposure. Additionally, to protect the Company from the effects on results due to the volatility of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar (USD$300 million bond due 2050), derivatives have been contracted (cross currency swaps) to redenominate the US dollar-denominated financial obligations as follows: i) USD$150 million to UF’s and ii) USD$150 million to CLP.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s net exposure to existing assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, discounting our derivatives contracts, was Ch$25,586 million of higher foreign currency assets.

| D. | AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS |
Fees and Charges
The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the depositary for our ADRs. ADR holders are required to pay various fees to the depositary, and the depositary may refuse to provide any service for which a fee is assessed until the applicable fee has been paid.
ADR holders are required to pay the depositary amounts in respect of expenses incurred by the depositary or its agents on behalf of ADR holders, including expenses arising from compliance with applicable law, taxes or other governmental charges, or conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars. The depositary may decide in its sole discretion to seek payment by either billing holders or by deducting the fee from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions.
99
ADR holders are also required to pay additional fees for certain services provided by the depositary, as set forth in the table below.
Depositary service | | Fee payable by ADR holders |
Issuance and delivery of ADRs, including in connection with share distributions | Up to US$5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) | |
Withdrawal of shares underlying ADRs | Up to US$5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) | |
Registration for the transfer of shares | Registration or transfer fees that may from time to time be in effect | |
Cash distribution fees | US$0.02 or less per ADS | |
Transfers made pursuant to terms of Deposit Agreement | Fee not in excess of US$1.50 for an ADR |
In addition, holders may be required to pay a fee for the distribution or sale of securities. Such fee (which may be deducted from such proceeds) would be for an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the fee for the issuance of ADRs that would be charged as if the securities were treated as deposited shares and (2) the amount of such proceeds.
Fees Incurred in Past Annual Period
From January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, we did not receive any amounts from the depositary.
Fees to be Paid in the Future
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, has agreed to reimburse us for expenses they incurred that are related to establishment and maintenance expenses of the ADR program. The depositary has agreed to reimburse us for continuing annual stock exchange listing fees. The depositary has also agreed to waive the standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs programs, which consist of the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls. It has also agreed to reimburse us annually for certain investor relationship programs or special investor relations promotional activities. In certain instances, the depositary has agreed to provide additional payments to us based on any applicable performance indicators relating to the ADR facility. There are limits on the amount of expenses for which the depositary will reimburse us, but the amount of reimbursement available to us is not necessarily tied to the amount of fees the depositary collects from investors.
The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADRs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADRs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

ITEM 14.MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In 1996, our shareholders approved the reclassification of our common stock into two new series of shares. Pursuant to the reclassification, each outstanding share of our common stock was replaced by one newly issued Series A share and one newly issued Series B share.
The Series A and Series B shares are principally differentiated by their voting and economic rights. The modification of our bylaws as of June 25, 2012, increased the number of directors from 7 to 14. The holders of the Series A shares have full voting power and are entitled to elect 12 of 14 members of the board of directors, and the holders of the Series B shares have no voting rights but for the right to elect 2 members of the board of directors. In addition, holders of Series B shares are entitled to a dividend 10% greater than any dividend on Series A shares.
After the reclassification, the Superintendence of Pension Fund Managers (Superintendencia de Administradores de Fondos de Pensiones) decreed that Chilean pension funds would not be permitted to acquire Series B Shares due to their limited voting rights. In 2004, however, the Superintendence reversed, and approved Series B shares as investment instruments for Chilean Pension funds. Series A shares have always been eligible as investment instruments for Chilean pensions funds.
ITEM 15.CONTROLS AND DISCLOSURE PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a—15(f) and 15d—15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions or our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
101
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Controls—Integrated framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way Commission, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores Auditores y Compañía Limitada, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included on pages F-2 and F-3 herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required under Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 16.[Reserved]
ITEM 16A.AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our board of directors has also determined that Mr. Domingo Cruzat Amunátegui, Juan Gerardo Jofré Miranda and Mr. Gonzalo Parot Palma fulfills the independence standards set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the U.S. Exchange Act and applicable NYSE rules.
ITEM 16B.CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that constitutes a code of ethics for our directors and employees. This Code applies to our Board of Directors, chief executive officer and all senior financial officers of our Company, including the chief financial officer, or any other persons performing similar functions, as well as to all other officers and employees of the Company. Our Code of Ethics is available on our website www.koandina.com. If we make any substantive amendment to the Code or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on the above mentioned website. On April, 2021, we amended our Code of Ethics to incorporate provisions related to criminal liability of legal entities, in accordance with Chilean Law N° 20,393, Argentine Law N° 27,401, and other compliance and anti-bribery provisions, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Additionally, we incorporated other provisions, making explicit reference to the importance of equal treatment and respect for each individual, diversity and non-discrimination, a healthy working environment, protection of our natural resources, sustainability, among others.

ITEM 16G.CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
NYSE and Chilean Corporate Governance Requirements
The following table sets forth significant differences between Chilean corporate governance practices and those corporate governance practices followed by domestic corporations under NYSE listing standards.
REQUIREMENT | | NYSE REQUIREMENTS FOR US LISTED COMPANIES | | CHILEAN LAW REQUIREMENTS AND COMPANY PRACTICE |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Independent Directors | Under NYSE rules, the board of directors is required to have a majority of independent directors. However, “controlled companies,” as defined under NYSE rules, are exempt from this requirement. | Under Chilean law, there is no legal obligation to have a Board of Directors composed of a majority of independent members. Our company does not have a majority independent board of directors, and as a “controlled company,” we would be exempt from NYSE’s requirement to have one. | |||
Article 50 bis of the Corporations Law requires appointing at least one independent director. Chilean Law considers independent such director that within the last 18 months is not involved in certain circumstances, such as: having an economic interest in the company or other group, having a relationship with such persons, be director of nonprofit organizations, among others, and comply with a declaration of independence. We have three of such directors. | |||||
Executive Sessions | Non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. | No similar legal obligation exists under Chilean law. Under Chilean law, the position of director of a corporation is incompatible with the position of manager, auditor, accountant or president of the company. The Non-Management Director does not exist under Chilean law. Directors, however, are required to convene in legally established meetings to resolve matters required by Chilean Corporation Law. Since Non-Management Director does not exist under Chilean law, it is not possible to comply with the Section 303A.03. | |||
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee | Listed companies must have a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee composed entirely of independent directors. However, “controlled companies,” as defined under NYSE rules, are exempt from this requirement. | There is no similar legal obligation under Chilean law. Andina has a Directors’ Committee whose functions are set by Chilean Corporation Law. Our Directors’ Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Company does not have a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and as a “controlled company,” we would be exempt from NYSE’s requirement to do so. The functions of the Directors’ Committee are described under Item 6C. | |||
Compensation Committee | Listed companies must have a Compensation Committee composed entirely of independent directors. However, “controlled companies,” as defined under NYSE rules, are exempt from this requirement. | There is no similar legal obligation under Chilean law. In accordance with Chilean law, the above-mentioned Directors’ Committee is in charge of reviewing management compensation. Our Company does not have a Compensation Committee and as a “controlled company,” we would be exempt from NYSE’s requirement to do so. The functions of the Directors’ Committee are described under Item 6C. | |||
Audit Committee | Must have an audit committee with the specific responsibilities and authority necessary to comply with SEC rules. Members must meet all of the independence requirements of the NYSE, as well as SEC Rule 10A-3 independence requirements (subject to any available exemptions). | No similar legal obligation exists under Chilean law. However, in accordance with the Chilean Public Companies Law 18,046, public companies that have a net worth of more than 1.5 million UFs and/or at least a 12.5% of its issued shares with voting rights are held by individual shareholders who control or own less than 10% of such shares must have a Directors’ Committee, formed by three members who are in their majority independent of the controller. Andina designated an Audit Committee in accordance with SEC Rule 10A-3. The functions of the audit committee are described under “Item 6C.”. | |||
104
REQUIREMENT | | NYSE REQUIREMENTS FOR US LISTED COMPANIES | | CHILEAN LAW REQUIREMENTS AND COMPANY PRACTICE |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Internal Audit Function | Listed companies must maintain an Internal Audit Function to provide management and the Audit Committee with ongoing assessments of the company’s risk management processes and systems of internal control. A listed company may choose to outsource this function to a third party service provider other than its independent auditor. | There is no similar obligation under Chilean law. Chilean law requires that companies must have account inspectors or external auditors. However, Andina has an Internal Auditor who reports to the Audit Committee. | |||
Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans and Certain Other Share Issuances | Shareholders must approve all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exemptions. Shareholder approval also required for certain other dilutive and related party equity issuances. | There is no similar obligation under Chilean law, with the exception of Directors’ compensation which is annually approved during the general shareholders’ meeting. Other than the foregoing, we have not and do not intend to submit for shareholder approval any equity-compensation plans, or the other dilutive and related party equity issuances covered by NYSE rules. | |||
Corporate Governance Guidelines | Listed companies must adopt and disclose Corporate Governance Guidelines. | Chilean law establishes mandatory corporate governance standards. The CMF’s General Rule No. 461 requires disclosure of any additional discretionary Corporate Governance Guidelines that may be adopted. The Company fulfills all statutory governance obligations under Chilean Corporate Law and has not formally adopted additional discretionary Corporate Governance Guidelines. | |||
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct | A company must adopt a Code of Business Conduct for its directors, officers and employees. Such company must disclose any waiver of its code of conduct that is granted to an officer or director. | There is no legal obligation to adopt a Code of Business Conduct. Chilean law requires that a company have a set of internal regulations which regulate the company and its relations with personnel. Such regulations must contain, among other things, regulations related to ethics and good behavior. Notwithstanding the above, a company may create internal codes of conduct, provided they do not require or prohibit behavior that contravenes Chilean law. In 1996, Andina created a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to the entire Company, and that has been updated over the years. Andina has posted this information on its website at www.koandina.com. See Item 16B. “Code of Ethics.” |

Governance
Our cybersecurity risk management program is supported by a compliance scheme based on a framework of supervisory and governance entities.
Additionally, to protect against and address cybersecurity incident management and decision-making, there is a senior management committee known as the “
The Cybersecurity Committee is comprised of the Company’s CISO, the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Information Technology Officer, the Company’s Risk and Sustainability Corporate Manager, and a Representative of the Corporate Internal Audit Area.
The Company’s CISO is responsible for overseeing and managing cybersecurity issues and risks. This includes being responsible for creating, managing, and carrying out the company’s cybersecurity plan for its networks, both IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology) at the corporate and regional level, overseeing the implementation of improvements, architectures, policies, and standards related to the protection of the organization’s digital assets. In addition, the CISO manages the IT Risk Map (IT RIA) and related mitigation plans, ensuring that necessary modifications are made to maintain compliance with the company’s regulatory framework and standards.

Policy for Information Security
The Company’s information security policy is an ongoing process designed to protect information assets from threats that could compromise their availability, integrity, or confidentiality. The corporate information security policy was created and put into effect to strengthen this pillar. In addition to providing general guidelines on the access, handling, manipulation, processing, transmission, and storage of the Company’s information assets, this policy seeks to establish general guidelines regarding the responsibility, protection, and management of information risks. The implementation of this policy involves the classification of information, the definition of responsibilities, and the use of digital solutions to strengthen its execution. Examples of these solutions include the unification of information storage and transfer mechanisms, the protection of information through Data Lost Prevention (DLP) practices, and the encryption of information stored on the Company’s essential equipment. The CISO is in charge of the Company’s information security strategy, policies, guidelines, and practices.

Cybersecurity provider risk and measurements management
Infrastructure and information security services are outsourced to one of the largest technology companies in Latin America. This company provides us with field support, users support center, networking support and cyber security monitoring. The IT outsourcing service is governed by a contractual agreement that specifies service levels and a Data Processing Agreement.
Cybersecurity Framework
Our cybersecurity risk management program was developed in accordance with, and aligned to, international standards, best practices, and worldwide frameworks such as the International Organization for Standardizations (ISO) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework (NIST) and incorporates the highest industry standards and is continually tested for Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR). Our program is managed with an integrated people, processes, and technology vision and in order to improve its cyber resilience, the Company has a cybersecurity strategy to which it adds new controls and systems every year. This involves a risk management methodology based on a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and Risk Impact Analysis Information Technology (RIA IT) model to unify risk and processes deemed critical to the organization, as well as regular and comprehensive testing of vulnerability mitigation measures found through ethical hacking, pentesting and vulnerabilities assessments. This activity gives a clear picture of known vulnerabilities in the system so that they can be specifically fixed and additional searches for undiscovered weaknesses, foreseeing future attacks and strengthening defenses. Furthermore, a “Zero Trust” model for platform access, Privileged Access Control and Multifactor Authenticator has been implemented for all platforms and user access. We use policies, processes, software, training programs, and hardware solutions to protect and monitor our environment across all critical systems, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-malware, patch management, and identity management systems.
Corporate Cybersecurity Policy
The Company’s Corporate Cybersecurity strategy provides a framework for effective security management processes pertaining to IT systems and the associated assets, and it establishes a control model for the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. Our cybersecurity risk management program also includes review and assessment by independent, external third parties, who evaluate and report on our cybersecurity program, as well as preparedness for internal incident response and help identify areas for continuous focus and improvement.
Dissemination and Training
The Company provides continuous information about the measures taken to promote cybersecurity, ensuring that all employees are informed of, and have received training on cybersecurity concepts and threats to information security and cybersecurity. Focusing on software and services based on the Company’s digital transformation, specialized areas in the Company’s IT and Human Resources departments coordinate specific training through various channels, using communications and e-mails delivering content that addresses information management and information security.
For instance, all employees of the company receive cybersecurity and phishing exercise training each year; the technology team also receives training on the various guidelines and protocols related to cybersecurity practices, including safeguarding digital assets, secure development, managing IT risks, and system modifications, among other topics.

Consolidated Financial Statements
EMBOTELLADORA ANDINA S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Santiago, Chile
December 31, 2025 and 2024
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors Embotelladora Andina S.A.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income by function, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows-direct method for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
F-1
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
F-2
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Life (Distribution rights) and Goodwill Impairment Assessment
As described in Notes 2.7.1, 2.7.2, 2.8, 2.22.1, 15 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated intangible assets with indefinite useful life (distribution rights) and goodwill balances, as of December 31, 2025, were Ch$ 674,766,128 thousand and Ch$ 137,128,318 thousand respectively. Management carries out an impairment test annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the cash generating units exceed their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. The recoverable amount of cash generating units are determined based on value in use calculations. The value in use is determined by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management’s cash flow projections included significant judgments and assumptions relating to sales volumes and prices, discount rates, marketing expenses and other economic factors.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the intangible assets with indefinite useful life (distribution rights) and goodwill impairment assessment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the value in use calculation of the cash generating units; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s cash flow projections and significant assumptions related to sales volumes and prices, discount rates, marketing expenses and other economic factors; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
F-3
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s intangible assets with indefinite useful life (distribution rights) and goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Company’s cash generating units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the estimate; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the perpetual growth rates and discount rates. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to sales volumes and prices, discount rates, marketing expenses and other economic factors involved evaluating whether the significant assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the cash generating units, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these significant assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the perpetual growth rates and discount rates assumptions.

2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING CRITERIA
2.1 Accounting principles and basis of preparation
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS” Accounting Standards) and the Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the going concern principle by applying the historical cost method, with the exception, according to IFRS, of those assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value.
These Consolidated Statements reflect the consolidated financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the periods between January 1 and December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and the related notes.
F-15
The Company’s 2025 local statutory consolidated financial statements in Spanish were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 27, 2026, with subsequent events first being considered through that date. Those local statutory consolidated financial statements consisted of consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 along with consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows (and related disclosures), each for the two years then ended.
Included in this 2025 consolidated financial statements are consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, along with consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows (and the related disclosures) for each of the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. This three-year presentation of operations, changes in equity and of cash flows is required by the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
This three-year English language IFRS consolidated financial statements were approved for issuances by the Board of Directors during a session held on March 31, 2026, with subsequent events considered through this later date.
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on the accounting records maintained by the Parent Company and by the other entities that are part of the Company and are presented in thousands of Chilean pesos (unless expressly stated) as this is the functional and presentation currency of the Company. Foreign operations are included in accordance with the accounting policies established in Notes 2.5.
2.2 Subsidiaries and consolidation
Subsidiary entities are those companies directly or indirectly controlled by Embotelladora Andina. Control is obtained when the Company has power over the investee, when it has exposure or is entitled to variable returns from its involvement in the investee and when it has the ability to use its power to influence the amount of investor returns. They include assets and liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported. Income or losses from subsidiaries acquired or sold are included in the consolidated statements of income by function from the effective date of acquisition through the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of the subsidiary is the fair value of assets transferred, equity securities issued, liabilities incurred or assumed on the date that control is obtained. Identifiable assets acquired, and identifiable liabilities and contingencies assumed in a business combination are accounted for initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the consideration is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group entities are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are modified to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Group.
The interest of non-controlling shareholders is presented in the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of income by function under “Non-Controlling Interest” and “Earnings attributable to non-controlling interests”, respectively.
F-16
The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating balances and transaction among the Group’s entities, the subsidiary companies included in the consolidation are the following:

2.3 Investments in associates
Ownership interest held by the Group in associates are recorded following the equity method. According to the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recorded at cost. As of the date of acquisition, the investment in the statement of financial position is recorded by the proportion of its total assets, which represents the Group’s participation in its capital, once adjusted, where appropriate, the effect of the transactions made with the Group, plus capital gains that have been generated in the acquisition of the company.
Dividends received from these companies are recorded by reducing the value of the investment and the results obtained by them, which correspond to the Group according to its ownership, are recorded under the item “Participation in profit (loss) of associates accounted for by the equity method.”
Associates are all entities over which the Group exercises significant influence but does not have control. Significant influence is the power to intervene in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate, without having control or joint control over it. The results of these associates are accounted for using the equity method. Accounting policies of the associates are changed, where necessary, to ensure conformity with the policies adopted by the Company and unrealized gains are eliminated.
For associates located in Brazil, the financial statements accounted for using the equity method have a one-month lag because their reporting dates are different from those of Embotelladora Andina S.A.
2.4 Financial reporting by operating segment
“IFRS 8 Operating Segments” requires that entities disclose information on the results of operating segments. In general, this is information that Management and the Board of Directors use internally to assess performance of segments and allocate resources to them. Therefore, the following operating segments have been determined based on geographic location:
| ● | Operation in Chile |
F-17
| ● | Operation in Brazil |
| ● | Operation in Argentina |
| ● | Operation in Paraguay |
2.5 Functional and presentation currency
2.5.1 Functional currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the entities in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of each of the Operations is the following:
Company | | Functional Currency |
Embotelladora del Atlántico | Argentine Peso (ARS) | |
Embotelladora Andina | Chilean Peso (CLP) | |
Paraguay Refrescos | Paraguayan Guaraní (PYG) | |
Rio de Janeiro Refrescos | Brazil Real (BRL) |
Foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are converted to the functional currency at the observed exchange rate of each central bank, in effect on the closing date.
All differences arising from the liquidation or conversion of monetary items are recorded in the income statement, with the exception of the monetary items designated as part of the hedging of the Group’s net investment in a business abroad. These differences are recorded under other comprehensive income until the disposal of the net investment, at which point they are reclassified to the income statement. Tax adjustments attributable to exchange differences in these monetary items are also recognized under other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are valued at historical cost in a foreign currency are converted using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are converted using the exchange rate in effect at the date on which fair value is determined. Losses or gains arising from the conversion of non-monetary items measured at fair value are recorded in accordance with the recognition of losses or gains arising from the change in the fair value of the respective item (e.g., exchange differences arising on items whose fair value gains or losses are recognized in comprehensive income).
Functional currency in hyperinflationary economies
Beginning July 2018, Argentina’s economy is considered as hyperinflationary, according to the criteria established in the International Accounting Standard No. 29 “Financial information in hyperinflationary economies” (IAS 29). This determination was carried out based on a series of qualitative and quantitative criteria, including an accumulated inflation rate of more than
Non-monetary assets and liabilities were restated since February 2003, the last date an inflation adjustment was applied for accounting purposes in Argentina. In this context, it should be mentioned that the Group made its transition to IFRS on January 1, 2004, applying the attributed cost exemption for Property, plant and equipment.
For consolidation purposes in Embotelladora Andina S.A. and as a result of the adoption of IAS 29, the results and financial position of our Argentine subsidiaries were converted to the closing exchange rate (ARS/CLP) at the date of presentation of these financial statements, in accordance with IAS 21 “Effects of foreign currency exchange rate variations”, when dealing with a hyperinflationary economy.
F-18
The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are those that were presented as current year amounts in the relevant financial statements of the previous year (i.e., not adjusted for subsequent changes in price level or exchange rates). This results in differences between the closing net equity of the previous year and the opening net equity of the current year and, as an accounting policy option, these changes are presented as follows: (a) the re-measurement of Opening balances under IAS 29 as an adjustment to equity and (b) subsequent effects, including re-expression under IAS 21, as “Exchange rate differences in the conversion of foreign operations” under other comprehensive income.
The adjustment factor is derived from the National Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census of the Argentine Republic (INDEC). Inflation for the periods January to December 2025 and 2024 amounted to 38.40% and 118.10%, respectively.
2.5.2 Presentation currency
The presentation currency is the Chilean peso, which is the functional currency of the parent company, for such purposes, the financial statements of subsidiaries are translated from the functional currency to the presentation currency as indicated below:
| a. | Translation of financial statements whose functional currency does not correspond to hyperinflationary economies (Brazil and Paraguay) |
Financial statements measured as indicated are translated to the presentation currency as follows:
| ● | The statement of financial position is translated to the closing exchange rate at the financial statement date, and the income statement is translated at the average monthly exchange rates, the differences that result are recognized in equity under other comprehensive income. |
| ● | Cash flow income statements are also translated at average exchange rates for each transaction. |
| ● | In the case of the disposal of an investment abroad, the component of other comprehensive income (OCI) relating to that investment is reclassified to the income statement. |
| b. | Translation of financial statements whose functional currency corresponds to hyperinflationary economies (Argentina) |
Financial statements of economies with a hyperinflationary economic environment, are recognized according to IAS 29 Financial Information in Hyperinflationary Economies, and subsequently converted to Chilean pesos as follows:
| ● | The statement of financial position sheet is translated at the closing exchange rate at the financial statements date. |
| ● | The income statement is translated at the closing exchange rate at the financial statements date. |
| ● | The statement of cash flows is converted to the closing exchange rate at the date of the financial statements. |
| ● | For the disposal of an investment abroad, the component of other comprehensive income (OCI) relating to that investment is reclassified to the income statement. |
In accordance with IAS 21 “Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates,” we use the closing exchange rate to translate financial information into presentation currency. The official dollar whose value is determined by the Banco de la Nación Argentina (BNA) is used to calculate the exchange rate for the presentation and preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
F-19
2.5.3 Exchange rates
Exchange rates regarding the Chilean peso, calculated using the closing rates for each period and used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, are as follows:
Date | | USD | | BRL | | (*) ARS | | PGY |
12.31.2025 | | | | | ||||
12.31.2024 | | | | | ||||
12.31.2023 | | | | |
Exchange rates regarding the Chilean peso, calculated using average rates, used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, are as follows:
Date | | USD | | BRL | | PGY |
12.31.2025 | | | | |||
12.31.2024 |
| | | | ||
12.31.2023 |
| |
| |
| |
(*) For the translation of Argentine figures, closing rates (not average) are used, as described in Note 2.5.2 b.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
The elements of Property, plant and equipment, are valued for their acquisition cost, net of their corresponding accumulated depreciation, and of the impairment losses they have experienced.
The cost of the items of Property, plant and equipment include in addition to the price paid for the acquisition: i) the financial expenses accrued during the construction period that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets, which are those that require a substantial period of time before being ready for use, such as production facilities. The Group defines a substantial period as one that exceeds twelve months. The interest rate used is that corresponding to specific financing or, if it does not exist, the weighted average financing rate of the Company making the investment; and ii) personnel expenses directly related to the construction in progress.
Construction in progress is transferred to operating assets after the end of the trial period when they are available for use, from which moment depreciation begins.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items of Property, plant and equipment will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated since it has an indefinite useful life. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives.
F-20
The estimated useful lives by asset category are:
Assets | | Range in years |
Buildings |
| |
Plant and equipment |
| |
Warehouse installations and accessories |
| |
Furniture and supplies |
| |
Motor vehicles |
| |
IT equipment | ||
Other Property, plant and equipment |
| |
Bottles and containers |

The residual value and useful lives of Property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted at the end of each fiscal year, if appropriate.
The Company assesses on each reporting date if there is evidence that an asset may be impaired. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset, if there is evidence, or when an annual impairment test is required for an asset.
Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds to the carrying amount and are charged to other expenses by function or other gains, as appropriate in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Company incorporates general and specific interest costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of an asset that necessarily takes time to get ready for its intended use. No interest has been recognized for the reported period.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are no essential items or fixed assets that are temporarily out of service. Property, plant, and equipment primarily comprise land and buildings, production machinery, cooling equipment, returnable bottles, vehicles, and other auxiliary equipment. All of these elements are integral for the manufacturing, storage, and distribution of beverages.
The Company does not possess any substantial assets that, having reached the end of their depreciation cycle, continue to be utilized as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. The assets that may eventually be affected by this situation primarily consist of minor assets, such as cooling equipment, returnable bottles, furniture, computers, and lighting, among others.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company utilizes the cost model to measure its property, plant, and equipment. Based on our estimates, the carrying amount does not exceed fair value. Given that the assets are in operational use, they have not suffered any significant impairment, and market prices for similar assets remain stable in the industry. Therefore, no appraisal or revaluation process has been carried out in those fiscal years.
2.7 Intangible assets and goodwill
2.7.1 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary on the acquisition date. Since goodwill is an intangible asset with indefinite useful life, it is recognized separately and tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognized, for the amount by which the carrying amount of cash generating units exceed their recoverable amount immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to that entity.
F-21
Goodwill is assigned to each cash generating unit (CGU) or group of cash-generating units, from where it is expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. Such CGUs or groups of CGUs represent the lowest level in the organization at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
2.7.2 Distribution rights
Distribution rights are contractual rights to produce and/or distribute Coca-Cola brand products and other brands in certain territories in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. Distribution rights are born from the process of valuation at fair value of the assets and liabilities of companies acquired in business combinations. Distribution rights have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized, (as they are historically permanently renewed by The Coca-Cola Company) and therefore are subject to impairment tests on an annual basis.
2.7.3 Software
Carrying amounts correspond to internal and external software development costs, which are capitalized once the recognition criteria in IAS 38, Intangible Assets, have been met. Their accounting recognition is initially realized for their acquisition or production cost and, subsequently, they are valued at their net cost of their corresponding accumulated amortization and of the impairment losses that, if applicable, they have experienced. The aforementioned software is amortized within . Amortization is recorded in the income statement under cost of sales or administrative expenses, depending on the purpose and use of the software, whether in production processes or administrative functions.
2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as intangibles related to distribution rights and goodwill, are not amortized and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are tested for impairment whenever there is an event or change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or its value in use.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units – CGU). Cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount has been determined on the basis of its value in use.
Regardless of what was stated in the previous paragraph, in the case of CGUs to which goodwill or intangible assets with an indefinite useful life have been assigned, the analysis of their recoverability is carried out systematically at the end of each fiscal year. These indications may include new legal provisions, change in the economic environment that affects business performance indicators, competition movements, or the disposal of an important part of a CGU.
Management reviews business performance based on geographic segments. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level that includes the different cash generating units in operations in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The impairment of distribution rights is monitored geographically in the CGU or group of cash generating units, which correspond to specific territories for which distribution rights have been acquired for products owned by The Coca-Cola Company, as well as other intangible assets of indefinite useful life.These cash generating units or groups of cash generating units are composed of the following segments:
| ● | Operation in Chile; North Zone (Antofagasta, Atacama and Coquimbo), Metropolitan Area, Central Zone (San Antonio and Cachapoal and Extreme South Zone of Aysen and Magallanes); |
| ● | Operation in Argentina; San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis, Córdoba, Santa Fé, Entre Ríos, La Pampa, Neuquén, Rio Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego and western area of the Province of Buenos Aires; |
| ● | Operation in Brazil: State of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo, Ipiranga territories, and investment in the Sorocaba associate; |
| ● | Operation in Paraguay |
Other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives consist of:
| ● | Comercializadora Novaverde (Guallarauco); |
F-22
| ● | AdeS Argentina; |
| ● | AdeS Brazil and investment in the associate Leão Alimentos e Bebidas Ltda.; |
| ● | AdeS Paraguay |
To assess whether goodwill has suffered a loss due to impairment of value, the Company compares the book value thereof with its recoverable value, and recognizes an impairment loss, for the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable values of the CGU, management considers the discounted cash flow method as the most appropriate.
The main assumptions used in the annual impairment test are:
| a) | Discount rate |
The discount rate applied in the annual impairment test carried out in 2024 was estimated using the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) methodology, which allows estimating a discount rate according to the level of risk of the CGU in the country where it operates. A nominal discount rate in local currency before tax is used according to the following table:
2025 Discount | 2024 Discount |
| |||
| rates | | rates |
| |
Argentina |
| | % | | % |
Chile |
| | % | | % |
Brazil |
| | % | | % |
Paraguay |
| | % | | % |
| b) | Other assumptions |
The financial projections used to determine the present net value of future cash flows from Cash Generating Units (CGUs) are prepared based on key historical variables and approved budgets for each CGU.
In this regard, a conservative growth rate is used, taking into account the differences that exist in categories with high growth such as carbonated beverages, categories with medium growth such as waters and juices, and categories that have lower margins such as alcohol. Additionally, the valuation model considers projections over 5 years based on perpetuity growth rates per operation, which follow real growth according to long-term population growth expectations. In this sense, the variables with greatest sensitivity in these projections are the discount rates applied in the determination of the net present value of projected cash flows, growth perpetuities and EBITDA margins considered in each CGU.
In order to sensitize the impairment test, variations were made to the main variables used in the model. Ranges used for each of the modified variables are:
| ● | the discount rate used to determine the present value of projected cash flows, |
| ● | the perpetuity growth rate, and |
| ● | the EBITDA margins considered for each CGU. |
In order to assess the robustness of the impairment test results, sensitivity analyses were performed using variations in the main variables used in the model. The following ranges were considered for these variations.
| ● | Discount rate: increase or decrease of up to 200 basis points, applied to the rate used to discount future cash flows to present value. |
| ● | Perpetuity growth rate: increase or decrease of up to 25 basis points in the rate used to determine the perpetual growth of future cash flows. |
| ● | EBITDA margin: increase or decrease of up to 150 basis points on the EBITDA margin of operations, applied uniformly to each year of the projected period, corresponding to the years 2026 to 2030. |
F-23
As a result of the modeling and valuation of the various CGUs, and considering the impairment tests performed as of December 31, 2025, Management has concluded that there is no indication of impairment in any of the Cash Generating Units evaluated.
The recoverable values determined exceed the carrying amounts of the associated assets, even under the sensitivity scenarios applied to the main variables of the model. The projections utilized reflect conservative assumptions and are in line with the historical performance of the markets in which the Company operates.
For the 2024 period, although no impairment were identified for the CGUs described above, during the annual review of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, it was determined that for the Guallarauco brand, specifically the investment in Novaverde, the recoverable value was CLP
2.9 Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that results in the recognition of a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity.
2.9.1 Financial assets
Pursuant to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, except for certain trade accounts receivable, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs, in the case of a financial asset that is not at fair value, reflecting changes in P&L.
The classification is based on two criteria: (a) the Group’s business model for the purpose of managing financial assets to obtain contractual cash flows; and (b) if the contractual cash flows of financial instruments represent “solely payments of principal and interest” on the outstanding principal amount (the “SPPI criterion”). According to IFRS 9, financial assets are subsequently measured at (i) fair value with changes in P&L (FVPL), (ii) amortized cost or (iii) fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The subsequent classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets are as follows:
| - | Financial asset at amortized cost for financial instruments that are maintained within a business model with the objective of maintaining the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. This category includes the Group’s trade and other accounts receivable. |
| - | Financial assets measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (FVOCI), with gains or losses recognized in P&L at the time of liquidation. Financial assets in this category correspond to the Group’s instruments that meet the SPPI criterion and are kept within a business model both to collect cash flows and to sell. |
Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measures as follows:
| - | Equity instruments at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (FVOCI) without recognizing earnings or losses in P&L at the time of liquidation. This category only includes equity instruments that the Group intends to keep in the foreseeable future and that the Group has irrevocably chosen to classify in this category in the initial recognition or transition. |
| - | Financial assets at fair value with changes in P&L (FVPL) include derivative instruments and equity instruments quoted that the Group had not irrevocably chosen to classify at FVOCI in the initial recognition or transition. This category also includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics do not comply with the SPPI criterion or are not kept within a business model whose objective is to recognize contractual cash flows or sale. |
F-24
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a portion of a financial asset or a portion of a group of similar financial assets) is initially disposed (for example, canceled in the Group’s consolidated financial statements) when:
| - | The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, |
| - | The Group has transferred the rights to receive the cash flows of the asset or has assumed the obligation to pay all cash flows received without delay to a third party under a transfer agreement; and the Group (a) has substantially transferred all risks and benefits of the asset, or (b) has not substantially transferred or retained all risks and benefits of the asset but has transferred control of the asset. |
2.9.2 Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as a fair value financial liability at the date of their initial recognition, as appropriate, with changes in results, loans and credits, accounts payable or derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective coverage. All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs directly attributable are netted from loans and credits and accounts payable.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other accounts payable, loans and credits, including those discovered in current accounts, and derivative financial instruments.
The classification and subsequent measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities are as follows:
| - | Fair value financial liabilities with changes in results include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated in their initial recognition at fair value with changes in results. The losses or gains of liabilities held for trading are recognized in the income statement. |
| - | Loans and credits are valued at cost or amortized using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when liabilities are disposed, as well as interest accrued in accordance with the effective interest rate method. |
A financial liability is disposed of when the obligation is extinguished, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another of the same lender under substantially different conditions, or where the conditions of an existing liability are substantially modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a disposal of the original liability and the recognition of the new obligation. The difference in the values in the respective books is recognized in the statement of income.
F-25
2.9.3 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset with the corresponding net amount presenting the corresponding net amount in the statement of financial position, if:
| - | There is currently a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts recognized, and |
| - | It is intended to liquidate them for the net amount or to realize the assets and liquidate the liabilities simultaneously. |
2.10 Derivatives financial instruments and hedging activities
The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to mitigate risks relating to changes in foreign currency and exchange rates associated with raw materials, and loan obligations. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each closing date. Derivatives are accounted as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
2.10.1 Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges
At the inception of the transaction, the group documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement within “other gains (losses).”
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example, when foreign currency denominated financial liabilities are translated into their functional currencies). The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of cross currency swaps hedging the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated income statement within “foreign exchange differences.” When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the consolidated income statement.
2.10.2 Derivative financial instruments not designated for hedging
The fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting pursuant to IFRS are immediately recognized in the income statement under “Other income and losses”. The fair value of these derivatives is recorded under “other current financial assets” or “other current financial liabilities” in the statement of financial position.
The Company does not use hedge accounting for its foreign investments.
The Company also evaluates the existence of embedded derivatives in contracts and financial instruments as stipulated by IFRS 9 and classifies them pursuant to their contractual terms and the business model of the group. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no embedded derivatives.
F-26
2.10.3 Fair value hierarchy
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the date of the transaction. Fair value is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability takes place;
| - | In the asset or liability main market, or |
| - | In the absence of a main market, in the most advantageous market for the transaction of those assets or liabilities. |
The Company maintains assets related to foreign currency derivative contracts which were classified as Other current and non-current financial assets and Other current and non-current financial liabilities, respectively, and are accounted at fair value within the statement of financial position.
The Company uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments with assessment techniques:
Level 1: | Quote values (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2: | Valuation techniques for which the lowest level variable used, which is significant for the calculation, is directly or indirectly observable |
Level 3: | Valuation techniques for which the lowest level variable used, which are significant for the calculation, are not observable. |
During the reporting periods there were
2.11 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and manufacturing overhead (based on operating capacity) to bring the goods to marketable condition, but it excludes interest expense. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Spare parts and production materials are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The initial cost of inventories includes the transfer of losses and gains from cash flow hedges, related to the purchase of raw materials.
Estimates are also made for obsolescence of raw materials and finished products based on turnover and age of the related goods.
2.12 Trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable are measured and recognized at the transaction price at the time they are generated less the provision for expected credit losses, pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 15, since they do not have a significant financial component, less the provision of expected credit losses. The provision for expected credit losses is made applying a value impairment model based on expected credit losses for the following 12 months. The Group applies a simplified focus for trade receivables, thereby impairment is always recorded referring to expected losses during the whole life of the asset. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by the provision of expected credit losses, and the loss is recognized in administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement by function.
2.13 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank balances, time deposits and other short-term highly liquid and low risk of change in value investments.
F-27
2.14 Other financial liabilities
Resources obtained from financial institutions as well as the issuance of debt securities are initially recognized at fair value, net of costs incurred during the transaction. Then, liabilities are valued by accruing interests in order to equal the current value with the future value of liabilities payable, using the effective interest rate method.
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets, considered as those that require a substantial period of time in order to get ready for their forecasted use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until the period in which the assets are substantially ready to be used or sold.
2.15 Income tax
The Company and its subsidiaries in Chile account for income tax according to the net taxable income calculated based on the rules in the Income Tax Law. Subsidiaries in other countries account for income taxes according to the tax regulations of the country in which they operate.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements, using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The Company does not recognize deferred income taxes for temporary differences from investments in subsidiaries in which the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not be reversed in the near future.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has legally recognized a right to offset against the tax authority the amounts recognized in those items; and intends to settle the resulting net debts, or to realize the assets and simultaneously settle the debts that have been offset by them.
2.16 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
2.17 Leases
In accordance with IFRS 16 “Leases” Embotelladora Andina analyzes, at the beginning of the contract, the economic background of the agreement, to determine if the contract is, or contains, a lease, evaluating whether the agreement transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. Control is considered to exist if the client has i) the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset; and ii) the right to direct the use of the asset.
The Company when operating as a lessee, at the beginning of the lease (on the date the underlying asset is available for use) records an asset for the right-of-use in the statement of financial position (under Property, plant and equipment) and a lease liability (under Other financial liabilities).
F-28
This asset is initially recognized at cost, which includes: i) value of the initial measurement of the lease liability; ii) lease payments made up to the start date less lease incentives received; iii) the initial direct costs incurred; and iv) the estimation of costs for dismantling or restoration. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost, adjusted by any new measurement of the lease liability, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses due to impairment of value. The right-of-use asset is depreciated in the same terms as the rest of similar depreciable assets, if there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will acquire ownership of the asset at the end of the lease. If such certainty does not exist, the asset depreciates at the shortest period between the useful life of the asset or the lease term.
On the other hand, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted at the incremental loan rate of the Company, if the interest rate implicit in the lease could not be easily determined. Lease payments included in the measurement of the liability include: i) fixed payments, less any lease incentive receivable; ii) variable lease payments; iii) residual value guarantees; iv) exercise price of a purchase option; and v) penalties for lease termination.
The lease liability is increased to reflect the accumulation of interest and is reduced by the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of the liability is measured again if there is a modification in the terms of the lease (changes in the term, in the amount of payments or in the evaluation of an option to buy or change in the amounts to be paid). Interest expense is recognized as an expense and is distributed among the periods that constitute the lease period, so that a constant interest rate is obtained in each year on the outstanding balance of the lease liability.
Short-term leases, equal to or less than one year, or lease of low-value assets are excepted from the application of the recognition criteria described above, recording the payments associated with the lease as an expense in a linear manner throughout the lease term. The Company does not act as lessor, nor does it have variable payments as lessee.
2.18 Deposits for returnable containers
This liability comprises cash collateral, or deposit, received from customers for bottles and other returnable containers made available to them.
This liability pertains to the deposit amount that will be reimbursed when the customer or distributor returns the bottles and containers in good condition, together with the original invoice.
This liability is presented under Other current financial liabilities since the Company does not have legal rights to defer settlement for a period in excess of one year. However, the Company does not anticipate any material cash settlements for such amounts during the upcoming year.
2.19 Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control over a good or service is transferred to the client. Control refers to the ability of the client to direct the use and obtain substantially all the benefits of the goods and services exchanged. Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which it is expected to be entitled for such transfer of control, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Management has defined the following indicators for revenue recognition, applying the five-step model established by IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”: 1) Identification of the contract with the customer; 2) Identification of performance obligations; 3) Determination of the transaction price; 4) Assignment of the transaction price; and 5) Recognition of revenue.
All the above conditions are met at the time the products are delivered to the customer. Net sales reflect the units delivered at list price, net of promotions, discounts and taxes.
The revenue recognition criteria of the goods provided by Embotelladora Andina corresponds to a single performance obligation that transfers the product to be received to the customer.
F-29
2.20 Contributions from The Coca-Cola Company
The Company receives certain discretionary contributions from The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) mainly related to the financing of advertising and promotional programs for its products in the territories where the Company has distribution licenses. The contribution received from TCCC is recognized in net income after the conditions agreed with TCCC in order to become a creditor to such incentive have been fulfilled, they are recorded as a reduction in the marketing expenses included in the Administration Expenses account. Given its discretionary nature, the portion of contributions received in one period does not imply it will be repeated in the following period.
2.21 Dividend distribution
The minimum mandatory dividend established by the Chilean Corporations Law is 30% of net income for the year, which must be ratified unanimously by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. Net income is determined as of December 31 of each year, at which time the liability is recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Interim and final dividends are recorded at the time of their approval by the competent body, which in the first case is normally the Board of Directors of the Company, while in the second case it is the responsibility of the General Shareholders’ Meeting.
2.22 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has used certain judgments and estimates made to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments. Following is an explanation of the estimates and judgments that might have a material impact on future financial statements.
2.22.1 Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
The Company tests annually whether goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life (such as distribution rights) have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units are determined based on value in use calculations. The value in use is determined by management using a discounted cash flow model. The significant judgments and assumptions used in the cash flow projections include sales volumes and prices, discount rates, marketing expenses and other economic factors.
The estimation of these variables requires a use of estimates and judgments as they are subject to inherent uncertainties; however, the assumptions are consistent with the Company’s internal planning and past results. Therefore, management evaluates, and updates estimates according to the conditions affecting the variables. If these assets are considered to have been impaired, they will be written off at their estimated fair value or future recovery value according to the lowest discounted cash flows analysis. On an annual basis and close to each fiscal year end discounted cash flows in the Company’s cash generating units in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay generated a higher value than the carrying values of the respective net assets, including goodwill of the Brazilian, Argentinian and Paraguayan subsidiaries.
2.22.2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
IFRS require in certain cases that assets and liabilities be recorded at their fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction ordered between market participants at the date of measurement.
The basis for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value are their current prices in an active market. For those that are not traded in an active market, the Company determines fair value based on the best information available by using valuation techniques.
In the case of the valuation of intangibles recognized as a result of acquisitions from business combinations, the Company estimates the fair value based on the “multi-period excess earning method”, which involves the estimation of future cash flows generated by the intangible assets, adjusted by cash flows that do not come from these, but from other assets. The Company also applies estimations over the period during which the intangible assets will generate cash flows, cash flows from other assets, and a discount rate.
F-30
Other assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are carried at fair value using valuation methods that are considered appropriate under the circumstances. Assumptions include the depreciated cost of recovery and recent transaction values for comparable assets, among others. These valuation techniques require certain inputs to be estimated, including the estimation of future cash flows.
2.22.3 Allowances for doubtful accounts
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate expected credit losses for trade receivables. Provisions are based on due days for various groups of customer segments that have similar loss patterns (i.e., by geography region, product type, customer type and rating, and credit letter coverage and other forms of credit insurance).
The provision matrix is initially based on the historically observed non-compliance rates for the Group. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. For example, if expected economic conditions (i.e., gross domestic product) are expected to deteriorate over the next year, which can lead to more non-compliances in the industry, historical default rates are adjusted. At each closing date, the observed historical default rates are updated and changes in prospective estimates are analyzed. The assessment of the correlation between observed historical default rates, expected economic conditions and expected credit losses are significant estimates.
2.22.4 Useful life, residual value and impairment of property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of those assets. Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances, changes to the Company’s business model, or changes in its capital strategy might modify the effective useful lives as compared to our estimates. Whenever the Company determined that the useful life of Property, plant and equipment might be shortened, it depreciates the excess between the net book value and the estimated recoverable amount according to the revised remaining useful life. Factors such as changes in the planned usage of manufacturing equipment, dispensers, transportation equipment and computer software could make the useful lives of assets shorter. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of those assets may not be recovered. The estimate of future cash flows is based, among other factors, on certain assumptions about the expected operating profits in the future. The Company’s estimation of discounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows because of, among other reasons, technological changes, economic conditions, changes in the business model, or changes in operating profit. If the sum of the projected discounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset shall be written off to its estimated recoverable value.
2.22.5 Contingent liabilities
Provisions for litigation and other contingencies are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the current obligation at the date of issuance of the financial statements, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using estimated cash flows to settle the current obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). The accrual of the discount is recognized as a finance cost. Incremental legal costs expected to be incurred in settling the legal claim are included in the measurement of the provision.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
A contingent liability does not imply the recognition of a provision. Legal costs expected to be incurred in defending the legal claim are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
F-31
2.22.6. Employee benefits
The Company records a liability regarding indemnities for years of service that will be paid to employees in accordance with individual and collective agreements subscribed with employees, which is recorded at actuarial value in accordance with IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”. At the year end there were no modifications to the agreements. Results from updated actuarial variables are recorded within other comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 19. Additionally, the Company has retention plans for some officers, which have a provision pursuant to the guidelines of each plan. These plans grant the right to certain officers to receive a cash payment on a certain date once they have fulfilled the required years of service.
The Company and its subsidiaries have recorded a provision to account for the cost of vacations and other employee benefits on an accrual basis. These liabilities are recorded under current non-financial liabilities.
2.23 New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to IFRS
2.23.1 Mandatory standards, interpretations and amendments for the first time for financial years beginning on January 1, 2025.
Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability. Issued in August 2023, this amendment affects an entity that has a transaction or operation in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency for a specific purpose at the measurement date. A currency is exchangeable into another currency when it is possible to obtain the other currency (with a normal administrative delay), and the transaction is carried out through a market or exchangeable mechanism that creates enforceable rights and obligations. This amendment establishes the guidelines to be followed to determine the exchange rate to be used in situations of absence of exchange y as mentioned above.
The consolidated financial statements of Embotelladora Andina S.A. as of December 31, 2025, incorporate changes resulting from the initial adoption of International Accounting Standard IAS 21 – Lack of Exchangeability.
On April 14, 2025, in the context of the new economic plan, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) announced the lifting of exchange controls.
The elimination of these restrictions on the acquisition of foreign currency allowed for greater transparency in the determination of exchange rates and facilitated convergence toward a unified dollar. This led to a devaluation of the official dollar and a reduction in the exchange rate known as the “dólar contado con liquidación” (CCL), bringing both values closer together.
In compliance with IAS 21 – Lack of Exchangeability, from January 1, 2025, until the date of the lifting of the currency controls, the results and financial statements of subsidiaries in Argentina, whose functional currency is the Argentine peso, have been translated into the presentation currency using the exchange rate corresponding to the CCL dollar.
The effects of the exchange rates used to convert the functional currency (ARS) to the presentation currency (CLP) are as follows:
1. | As of December 31, 2025, the conversion of balance sheet accounts in Argentina was performed using a parity of $ |
2. | For the purposes of the initial adjustment (determination of the adjustment as of January 1, 2025), where the impact is exclusively on the Company’s equity, a parity of $ |
F-32
The effects of these exchange rates on the balance sheet accounts, in the process of conversion from the functional currency (ARS) to the presentation currency (CLP), is CLP

2.23.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments issued, the application of which is not yet mandatory, for which early adoption has not been made.
Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Published in May 2024, this amendment intends to:
| ● | Clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; |
| ● | Clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the principal-and-interest-only payment (SPPI) criterion; |
| ● | Add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that may change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals); and |
| ● | Make updates to disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). |
Annual Improvements to IFRS - Volume 11. The following improvements were published in July 2024:
(1) | IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. Some cross-references to IFRS 9 indicated in paragraphs B5-B6 regarding the retrospective application exception in hedge accounting were improved. |
(2) | IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Regarding the disclosures on results from the derecognition of financial assets where there is continuous involvement, a reference to IFRS 13 is incorporated in order to disclose whether there are significant unobservable inputs that impacted the fair value, and therefore, part of the result of the derecognition. |
(3) | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. A reference on the initial measurement of accounts receivable was amended by eliminating the concept of transaction price. |
(4) | IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Some improvements are incorporated in the description of the control assessment when there are “de facto agents.” |
(5) | IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. A reference in paragraph 37 regarding the concept of “equity method” was amended by eliminating the reference to the “cost method”. |
Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Contracts Referencing Electricity That Depends on Nature (Published in December 2024). This amendment includes:
| ● | Clarifying the application of the “own use” requirements; |
| ● | Allowing hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments; and |
| ● | Disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on an entity’s financial performance and cash flows. |
IFRS 18 Presentation and disclosure in financial statements. Issued in April of 2024.This is the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the income statement. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to (Mandatory as from January 1, 2027):
| ● | The structure of the income statement; |
| ● | Disclosures required in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (i.e., performance measures defined by management); and |
F-33
| ● | Enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation that apply to the principal financial statements and notes overall. |
IFRS 19 Non-Public Interest Subsidiaries: Disclosures. Issued in April 2024. This new standard establishes that an eligible subsidiary applies the requirements of other IFRS Accounting Standards, except for the disclosure requirements, and instead may apply the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19. The reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19 balance the information needs of users of the financial statements of eligible subsidiaries with cost savings for preparers. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard for eligible subsidiaries
A subsidiary is eligible if it:
| ● | Has no public liability; and |
| ● | Has an ultimate or intermediate parent that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS. |
The amendments to IFRS 19 assist eligible subsidiaries by reducing disclosure requirements in respect of Standards and amendments issued between February 2021 and May 2024, namely:
| ● | IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements; |
| ● | Financing Agreements with Suppliers (Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7); |
| ● | International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12); |
| ● | Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21); and |
| ● | Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). |
Amendments to IAS 21 - Conversion to a Hyperinflationary Reporting Currency. Published in November 2025, these limited-scope amendments specify the conversion procedures applicable to entities whose reporting currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. An entity applies the amendments when:
| ● | its functional currency is the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy, and it translates its results and financial position into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy; or |
| ● | it translates the results and financial position of a foreign operation whose functional currency is the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. |
The objective of the amendments is to enhance the usefulness of the resulting information in a cost-effective manner. The amendments were developed in response to stakeholder feedback and are expected to reduce diversity in practice and provide a clearer basis for reporting in a hyperinflationary currency.
Amendments to Illustrative Examples on IFRS 7, IFRS 18, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 36, and IAS 37 - Disclosures about Uncertainties in Financial Statements. Published in November 2025.
These amendments introduce illustrative examples demonstrating how entities apply the requirements of IFRS Accounting Standards to disclose the effects of uncertainties in their financial statements.
The examples do not add to or amend the requirements of IFRS Accounting Standards and, accordingly, do not give rise to transition requirements. The examples will accompany the respective Standards to which they relate.
Company management estimates that the adoption of the standards, interpretations and amendments described above will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application.
Regarding the implementation of IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, management is conducting a thorough analysis of the potential impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

3 – FINANCIAL REPORTING BY SEGMENT
The Company provides financial information by segments according to IFRS 8 “Operating Segments,” which establishes standards for reporting by operating segment and related disclosures for products and services, and geographic areas.
The Company’s Board of Directors and Management measures and assesses the performance of operating segments based on the net income of each of the countries where there are Coca-Cola franchises.
The operating segments are determined based on the presentation of internal reports to the Company´s chief strategic decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Company´s Board of Directors who makes the Company’s strategic decisions.
The following operating segments have been determined for strategic decision making based on geographic location:
| ● | Operation in Chile |
| ● | Operation in Brazil |
| ● | Operation in Argentina |
| ● | Operation in Paraguay |
The
Expenses and revenue associated with the Corporate Officer were assigned to the operation in Chile in the soft drinks segment because Chile is the country that manages and pays the corporate expenses, which would also be substantially incurred, regardless of the existence of subsidiaries abroad.
Total revenues by segment include sales to unrelated customers and inter-segments, as indicated in the consolidated statement of income of the Company.

(“RJR”) filed a court order No. 0021799-23.2006.4.02.5101 seeking recognition of the right to exclude ICMS (Tax on Commerce and Services) from the PIS (Program of Social Integration) and COFINS (Contribution for the Financing of Social Security) calculation base, as well as recognition of the right to obtain reimbursement of amounts unduly collected since November 14, 2001, duly restated using the Selic interest rate. On May 20, 2019, the ruling favoring RJR became final, allowing the recovery of amounts overpaid from November 14, 2001 to August 2017. It is worth noting that in September 2017, RJR had already obtained a Security Mandate, which granted it the right to exclude, from that date, the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base. |

The company took steps to assess the total amount of the credit at issue for the period of unduly collection of taxes from November 2001 to August 2017, totaling approximately CLP
Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga, acquired in September 2013, also filed a court order n. 0005018-15.2002.4.03.6110 to recognize the same issue as the one previously descibed for RJR. On September 12, 2019, the ruling favoring Ipiranga became final, allowing the recovery of the amounts overpaid from September 12, 1990 to December 12, 2013 (date on which Ipiranga was acquired by RJR). The Ipiranga credit will be generated in the name of RJR, however pursuant to a contractual clause (“Subscription Agreement for Shares and Exhibits”), which requireds RJR to transfer any gain resulting from this action to the former shareholders of Ipiranga. The Company performed procedures to assess the total amount of the credit in question for the tax period expired, totaling BRL
As of December 31, 2025, the amount to be transferred to the former shareholders of Ipiranga is CLP

Exchange rate fluctuations associated with financial liabilities denominated in US dollars and Swiss francs are recognized in income, while the valuation effects of hedging instruments are recognized in comprehensive income, in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.
22.2 Forward currency contracts for highly probable expected transactions:
During the years 2025 and 2024, Embotelladora Andina S.A. entered into forward contracts to ensure the exchange rate on future commodity purchasing needs for its 4 operations, closing forward instruments in USD/ARS, USD/BRL, USD/CLP, and USD/PYG. At the closing date of these financial statements, outstanding contracts amount to USD
Forward contracts that secure future commodity prices have been designated as hedging contracts since they comply with the documentation requirements of IFRS, and therefore their effects on changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income.
F-75
22.3 Raw material swap for highly probable expected transactions:
During the year 2025, the Company entered into No. 5 sugar swap contracts to hedge the price of future sugar purchases for its Chilean operations. At the date of these financial statements, the outstanding contracts amounted to USD
In addition, it entered into sugar swap contracts No. 11 to secure the price of future sugar purchases for its Brazilian operations. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding contracts amounted to USD
Forward contracts that hedge future raw material prices have been designated as hedging contracts as they meet the documentation requirements of IFRS, and therefore their effects on changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
22.4 Fair value hierarchies
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has assets from derivative contracts amounting to ThCh$
Hedging contracts associated with existing items have been classified in the same accounting category as the hedged items, while derivative contracts related to expected items are presented within current financial assets and liabilities.
All hedging contracts are recognized at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: | quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) |
Level 3: | Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data. |
During the reporting period, there were

23 – LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
23.1 Lawsuits or other legal actions:
In the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries do not face legal or extrajudicial contingencies that might result in material or significant losses or gains, except for the following:
| 1) | Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. and Andina Empaques Argentina S.A. face labor, tax, civil and trade lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of a probable loss because of these lawsuits, totaling ThCh$ |
| 2) | Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. faces labor, tax, civil and trade lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of a probable loss because of these lawsuits, totaling ThCh$ |
Part of the assets held under warranty by Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. are in the process of being released and others have already been released in exchange for guarantee insurance and bond letters for BRL
Main contingencies faced by Rio de Janeiro Refrescos are as follows:
| a) | Tax contingencies resulting from credits on tax on industrialized products (IPI). |
Rio de Janeiro Refrescos is a party to a series of proceedings under way, in which the Brazilian federal tax authorities demand payment of value-added tax on industrialized products (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados, or IPI) totaling BRL
The Company does not share the position of the Brazilian tax authority in these procedures and considers that it was entitled to claim IPI tax credits in connection with purchases of certain exempt raw materials from suppliers located in the Manaus free trade zone.
F-77
Based on the opinion of its advisers, and legal outcomes to date, Management estimates that these procedures do not represent probable losses and has not recorded a provision on these matters.
Notwithstanding the above, the IFRS related to business combination in terms of distribution of the purchase price establish that contingencies must be measured one by one according to their probability of occurrence and discounted at fair value from the date on which it is deemed the loss can be generated. As a result of the acquisition of Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga in 2013 and pursuant to this criterion and although there are contingencies listed only as possible for BRL
| b) | Other tax contingencies. |
They refer to ICMS-SP tax administrative processes that challenge the credits derived from the acquisition of tax-exempt products acquired by the Company from a supplier located in the Manaus Free Zone. The total amount is BRL
The company was challenged by the federal tax authority for tax deductibility of a portion of goodwill in the 2014-2016 period arising from the acquisition of Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga. The tax authority understands that the entity that acquired Companhia de Bebidas Ipiranga is Embotelladora Andina and not Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. In the view of external lawyers, such a statement is erroneous, classifying it as a possible loss. The value of this process is BRL
| 3) | Embotelladora Andina S.A. and its Chilean subsidiaries face labor, tax, civil and trade lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of a probable loss because of these lawsuits, totaling ThCh$ |
| 4) | Paraguay Refrescos S.A. faces tax, trade, labor and other lawsuits. Accounting provisions have been made for the contingency of any loss because of these lawsuits amounting to ThCh$ |

24 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s businesses are exposed to a variety of financial and market risks (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk). The Company’s global risk management program focuses on the uncertainty of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the performance of the Company. The Company uses derivatives to hedge certain risks. A description of the primary policies established by the Company to manage financial risks are provided below:
Interest Rate Risk
As of December 31, 2025, the Company maintains all of its debt obligations at a fixed rate, in order to avoid fluctuations in financial expenses that could arise from possible increases in interest rates.
The Company’s indebtedness corresponds to
Of the total local bonds,
Furthermore, the Company has debt in the international market through a 144A/Reg S bond issued in the United States, at a fixed rate in US dollars, for a total amount of USD
Likewise, in September 2023, the Company issued a bond in the Swiss market for CHF
Credit risk
The credit risk to which the Company is exposed comes mainly from trade accounts receivable maintained with retailers, wholesalers and supermarket chains in domestic markets; and the financial investments held with banks and financial institutions, such as time deposits, mutual funds and derivative financial instruments.
F-80
a) Trade accounts receivable and other current accounts receivable
Credit risk related to trade accounts receivable is managed and monitored by the area of Finance and Administration of each business unit. The Company has a broad client base implying a high level of atomization of accounts receivable, which are subject to policies, procedures and controls established by the Company. In accordance with such policies, credits must be based objectively, non-discretionary and uniformly granted to all clients of the same segment and channel, provided these will allow generating economic benefits to the Company. The credit limit is checked periodically considering payment behavior. Trade accounts receivable pending of payment are monitored on a monthly basis.
| i. | Sale Interruption |
In accordance with Corporate Credit Policy, the interruption of sale must be within the following framework: when a customer has outstanding debts for an amount greater than USD
| ii. | Impairment |
The impairment recognition policy establishes the following criteria for provisions:
| iii. | Prepayment to suppliers |
The Policy establishes that USD
| iv. | Guarantees |
In Chile, we have insurance with Compañía de Seguros de Crédito Continental S.A (AA rating -according to Fitch Chile and Humphreys rating agencies) covering the credit risk regarding trade debtors in Chile.
The rest of the operations do not have credit insurance, instead mortgage guarantees are required for volume operations of wholesalers and distributors in the case of trade accounts receivables. In the case of other debtors, different types of guarantees are required according to the nature of the credit granted.
Historically, uncollectible trade accounts have been lower than
F-81
b) Financial investment.
The Company has a Policy that is applicable to all the companies of the group in order to cover credit risks for financial investments, restricting both the types of instruments as well as the institutions and degree of concentration. The companies of the group can invest in:
| i. | Time deposits: only in banks or financial institutions that have a risk rating equal to or higher than Level 1 (Fitch) or equivalent for deposits of less than |
| ii. | Mutual funds: investments with immediate liquidity and no risk of capital (funds composed of investments at a fixed-term, current account, fixed rate Tit BCRA, negotiable obligations, Over Night, etc.,) in all those counter-parties that have a rating greater than or equal to AA-(S&P) or equivalent, Type 1 Pacts and Mutual Funds, with a rating greater than or equal to AA+ (S&P) or equivalent. |
| iii. | Other investment alternatives must be evaluated and authorized by the office of the Chief Financial Officer. |
Exchange Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to
a) Exposure of foreign investments:
This risk arises from converting net investments from each country’s functional currency (Brazilian real, Argentine peso, or Paraguayan guaraní) to the presentation currency of the parent company (Chilean peso). Appreciation or devaluation of the Chilean peso against each country’s functional currency gives rise to respective decreases or increases in equity. The Company does not hedge this risk.
The Company assesses fluctuations in the currencies used in its operations relative to the presentation currency of the financial statements through a sensitivity analysis of total assets, total liabilities, and net equity in local currency.

F-82
Net exposure of assets and liabilities in foreign currency
This risk stems mostly from carrying liabilities in US dollar, so the volatility of the US dollar with respect to the functional currency of each country generates a variation in the valuation of these obligations, with consequent effect on results. In order to protect the Company from the effects on income resulting from the volatility of the Brazilian Real and the Chilean Peso against the U,S, dollar, the Company maintains derivative contracts (cross currency swaps) to cover almost
| b) | Exposure of assets purchased or indexed to foreign currency |
This risk originates from purchases of raw materials and investments in Property, plant and equipment, whose values are expressed in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. Changes in the value of costs or investments can be generated through time, depending on the volatility of the exchange rate.
In order to minimize this risk, the Company maintains a currency hedging policy stipulating that it is necessary to enter into foreign currency derivatives contracts to lessen the effect of the exchange rate over cash expenditures expressed in US dollars, corresponding mainly to payment to suppliers of raw materials in each of the operations. This policy stipulates up to 12-month forward horizon.
Commodities risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of price fluctuations in international markets, mainly for sugar, PET resin, and aluminum, which are the main inputs used in the production of beverages and packaging and together represent between
Liquidity risk
The products we sell are mainly paid for in cash and short-term credit; therefore, the Company´s main source of financing comes from the cash flow of our operations. This cash flow has historically been sufficient to cover the investments necessary for the normal course of our business, as well as the distribution of dividends approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. Should additional funding be required for future geographic expansion or other needs, the main sources of financing to consider are: (i) debt offerings in the Chilean and foreign capital markets (ii) borrowings from commercial banks, both internationally and in the local markets where the Company operates; and (iii) public equity offerings.
The following table presents an analysis of the Company’s committed maturities for liability payments throughout the coming years:
