COVID-19 & 
OUR 2019 REPORT

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE

READING THIS REPORT IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19

As you will see, we have adopted a new approach to  
Amatil’s 2019 Annual Report. We have combined our 
Annual and Sustainability Reports for the first time,  
building on our commitment to move towards integrated 
reporting, and to showcase the year that was for our 
company, our people and all of our stakeholders.

At the time of publication of this 2019 Annual Report1 
(“Report”), the world is responding to the COVID-19 
pandemic and the duration, impacts and severity are 
continuing, with many unknowns.

At Coca-Cola Amatil, protecting the health and safety  
of our people and those we work with will always be our 
overriding priority. At the time of finalising this Report  
we are monitoring on a daily basis the status and impacts 
of COVID-19, to respond and adjust across all of our 
geographies and adapt to new work rhythms and  
operations – to remain focused on business continuity  
and our customers during this challenging time. 

We have cancelled large gatherings and implemented 
physical distancing measures designed to protect our people, 
whether they work in our field-based sales teams, front-line 
manufacturing and distribution operations, or in an office-
based environment. We have suspended all international  
and non-essential domestic travel and implemented 
measures to ensure we can equip our teams to work  
virtually where possible, and safely in all other situations. 

Amatil’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled 
for 26 May 2020 will also be conducted virtually, to 
discourage physical attendance for the protection of all  
our people and our investor community.

We will continue to align with advice from the World 
Health Organisation and the relevant Government 
Authorities in our countries of operation. 

Given the significant uncertainty around the duration  
and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, on 17 March 2020 
Amatil withdrew the earnings guidance, which was 
previously issued to the market on 20 February 2020. 

This Report reflects our results and achievements for 
2019. The strategies, priorities, shareholder value 
proposition and outlook statements were relevant and 
appropriate at the time of being issued within the 2019 
Financial and Statutory Reports, but COVID-19 will  
cause all of them to change. 

Amatil has a strong balance sheet and low net debt levels, 
ensuring we are well positioned to navigate this event.  
We have been implementing contingency plans to 
mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our workforce and 
operations. We will continue to evolve our response  
and assess the impact of this global pandemic as its 
effect on our business becomes clearer. 

Our latest updates to the market can be found on our 
website at www.ccamatil.com. 

We thank our many customers, brand and business  
partners across all regions for working with us in 
partnership to continue to meet the needs of our customers 
and protect the communities in which we operate.

1  Print date as at 14 April 2020.

BEING A SUSTAINABLE  BUSINESSTHE VALUE  WE CREATEPERFORMANCE  & OUTLOOKGOVERNANCE  & RISKSFINANCIAL & STATUTORY REPORTSOTHER  INFORMATIONOUR  BUSINESSWHO WE ARE

Coca-Cola Amatil is one of the largest bottlers and distributors of  
non-alcoholic and alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages in the Asia Pacific  
region and one of the world’s larger bottlers of The Coca-Cola Company’s 
range of products. 

OUR PURPOSE

EVERY DAY WE CREATE MILLIONS OF MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS  
AND POSSIBILITIES

Our future is shaped by our purpose and our values form the foundation of our culture. Our 
purpose unites all of us and focuses our energy. It reflects the scale of our business and the 
millions of people we connect with directly and through our products. It’s about what we do 
every day and the possibilities we are creating for the future for Shareholders and society.

OUR VALUES

Our Values are the basis for how we work together and operate. They guide our behaviours 
and our decisions, every day.

WE ARE 
STRAIGHTFORWARD 
AND OPEN

WE TAKE THE 
INITIATIVE AND 
OWN THE OUTCOME

WE FOCUS  
ON TODAY AND 
TOMORROW

OUR AMBITION

TO BE A REGIONAL BEVERAGES POWERHOUSE

Our Ambition is to be a Regional Beverages Powerhouse in the Association of Southeast 
Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Oceania regions as we look to grow within categories, across 
geographies and along the beverages value chain. We have a clear growth platform that 
builds on our expert knowledge of the beverages market in ASEAN and Oceania, our 
leading portfolio of brands, and track record of delivering innovation.

OUR GROUP STRATEGY

Our Group strategy is our blueprint for success. It positions us to capture growth and deliver long-term value. We know that our 
markets will continue to change. We are confident in our ability to adapt and adjust to capitalise on opportunities and address 
challenges as and when they arise. As a Group, we are focused on two overarching objectives – Perform and Grow. The success 
of both is built on a foundation of a Strong Organisation.

PERFORM

GROW

The Perform objective is guided by our Shareholder Value Proposition and is 
our primary day-to-day focus. The three strategic pillars within this – Lead, 
Execute, Partner – were defined as part of our 2014 strategic review and are 
the basis on which our businesses structure their plans. 

LEAD
Strengthen Category Leadership Position

–  Leading brands in each of our major categories in each market

–  Up-weighted levels of innovative marketing continually strengthening brand equity

–  Evolving portfolio that adapts to changing consumer preferences

EXECUTE
Step Change in Productivity and In-Market Execution 

–  World-class customer servicing capability 

–  Route-to-market that provides customer diversification and competitive 

advantage 

–  Effective leverage of our large-scale, low-cost manufacturing, sales and 

distribution capability

PARTNER
Better Alignment with The Coca-Cola Company and Our Other Brand Partners

–  Shared vision of success and aligned objectives

–  Joint plans for growing System profitability

–  Balanced share of risk and rewards

We are a strong organisation with a proven ability to adapt and capitalise  
on opportunities to further grow our portfolio of brands and businesses. 
Our growth agenda positions us to deliver long-term sustainable returns  
to our Shareholders.

Our ambition is to be a Regional Beverages Powerhouse. To achieve this,  
we are looking to be ‘the leading beverages business in the ASEAN and 
Oceania region’. 

Our growth agenda seeks to maximise opportunities and position us to 
deliver long-term sustainable returns to our Shareholders. We have a 
clear growth platform that focuses on:

GROWTH WITHIN CATEGORIES
–  Innovation with our brand partners and selective Mergers and Acquisitions

in existing and new beverage categories 

–  New beverage categories in existing markets

GROWTH ACROSS GEOGRAPHIES
– Entering new geographies in existing beverage categories 

–  Immediate focus on South-East Asia and Oceania based on our current

operations, future growth prospects and potential for synergies 

GROWTH ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN
–  Vertical integration and extensions of our existing value chain in current
geographies – increasing the role we play in getting our great beverages 
into the hands of consumers. 

STRONG ORGANISATION

Our ability to deliver our performance and achieve our growth aspirations is underpinned by a Strong Organisation with strong, accountable businesses,  
a One Amatil mindset led by the Group Leadership Team and a lean Group centre that safeguards and shapes our future. 

In 2019 we accelerated the implementation of our Strong Organisation through divestment of the SPC business and announcement of the integration of  
Alcohol & Coffee into each of our geographies. This has simplified our manufacturing model, strengthened our customer focus, and improved our emphasis  
on our Beverages Powerhouse ambition. 

A ONE AMATIL MINDSET
We believe the Group Leadership Team has a shared accountability for a One Amatil mindset so we are making decisions that are in the best interests of Amatil overall. 
There are many opportunities to share learnings, leverage expertise and share services. 

A LEAN GROUP OFFICE
An essential component of our model is a lean Group Office, which provides functional leadership to support our businesses and a One Amatil approach to safeguarding 
and shaping our future. This ensures we operate in line with the expectations of our Board, realise our ambition of becoming a Regional Beverages Powerhouse and create 
long-term value for Shareholders and for society. 

OUR LONG-TERM VALUE PROPOSITION

In 2019 we redefined our approach to the creation of long-term value.  It is a new way of thinking about how we create long-term, 
sustainable value that integrates our previous sustainability framework with our Shareholder value proposition. We believe 
creating value for society is completely integrated and consistent with the way we deliver value to Shareholders. This means  
that as we pursue growth, we do so through the lens of seeking positive impacts for our people, customers, partners, consumers, 
the environment and our community. 

We will continue to think about how we measure our performance against this model and refine our performance indicators 
so that our Shareholders and stakeholders can hold us accountable as we fulfil  our strategic ambition of being a Regional 
Beverages Powerhouse.

COCA-COLA AMATIL ANNUAL REPORT 2019

I am pleased to present the Coca-Cola Amatil 
Limited Annual Report for 2019.

The end of 2019 marked the completion of a two-year transition 
period for Amatil. We strengthened our customer and 
consumer focus and simplified our operating model to better 
align the beverage categories to our geographies. We also 
renewed our focus on core categories and channels and 
reinvested in people and facilities. The benefits of these 
changes are evident, both in this year’s strong financial results 
and in industry-changing commitments on sugar reduction  
and recycling.

Our overall Group result for 2019 delivered benefits from  
this business transformation effort. Group revenue increased 
strongly for the year, rising by 6.7 per cent, reflecting 
successful outcomes from strategic initiatives in each of  
our territories, strong in-market execution and targeted 
investment in the Australian and Indonesian businesses.

We also sought to maintain a leadership role in corporate 
citizenship, recognising the social and commercial importance 
of consumer wellbeing and business sustainability. We believe 
creating value for society is consistent with the delivery of 
value to Shareholders. This means that as we pursue growth, 
we do so through the lens of seeking positive impacts for our 
people, customers, partners, consumers, the environment and 
our community. This is what we call our Value Proposition.

At the heart of our Value Proposition is a thriving customer 
base. This is underpinned by four contributors – an engaged 
workforce, committed business partners, delighted consumers 
and a healthy natural environment. Our performance against 
these contributors determines our success in delivering value 
to Shareholders and to the communities in which we operate. 

Thriving Customers
In 2019 we committed to deliver quality, reliability, convenience 
and service to more than 630,000 customers across our  
six geographies. We introduced new product innovations, 
maximised efforts during key selling weeks and relaunched 
campaigns such as ‘Share a Coke.’ In Australia our additional 
support for restaurant and café customers substantially 
increased our customer visitation frequency and focused on 
driving the right range in-store. 

Our progress is evident in our ability to win market share, 
deliver new business growth and receive strong customer 
recognition. 

IN EARLY 2019 WE IMPLEMENTED A COCA-COLA BOTTLER SYSTEM 
FIRST WITH A 100 PER CENT RECYCLED PET PLASTIC BOTTLE FOR 
CARBONATED BEVERAGES.

Committed Partners
We are delighted with the strong performance of the Coca-Cola 
Trademark across our markets. This is a strong demonstration 
of the success and strength of our partnership with The 
Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola System is unique, and  
we are a proud partner in this System.

Amatil is proud to partner with a number brand partners in 
non-alcoholic ready-to-drink, alcoholic and hot beverages 
industries. Each relationship is different and we work closely 
with our partners to ensure we grow our businesses together. 
We are committed to successful business partnerships built  
on trust and shared value. 

We continued to focus on innovation and new product 
development through our partnership with Beam Suntory 
across Australia and New Zealand, and the successful launches 
of Roku premium gin and the Koyomi range of new-to-world 
Shochu-based drinks. 

Delighted Consumers
Consumer wellbeing continues to be a priority for  
Coca-Cola Amatil as we provide consumer choice based 
on their preferences.

We achieved substantial reduction in sugar content across 
our portfolio in Australia and New Zealand. Measured as  
grams per 100ml, so far we have achieved reductions of  
8.8 per cent in Australia and 5.3 per cent in New Zealand 
versus a 2016 baseline. 

In Indonesia we launched new products such as Sprite 
Waterlymon with sugar content lower than regular Sprite and 
introduced small packs (200ml) for popular products such as 
Frestea Green Honey and Refresh Strawberry. Overall, we’ve 
delivered a 7.8 per cent reduction in sugar grams per 100ml 
across our portfolio in Indonesia since 2016.

In Fiji we made changes to our portfolio to include Coca-Cola 
No Sugar, reformulated Diet Coke and reduced sugar content in 
a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic ready-to-drink brands.

Across the Pacific we set a roadmap for sugar reduction 
through to 2022, which includes reformulations of various 
Fanta and Sprite options in Fiji including Fanta Pineapple, 
Fanta Orange and in Samoa, Sprite.

Engaged People
We strive to achieve and maintain a zero-harm workplace  
where safety is everyone’s responsibility. For Coca-Cola Amatil, 
a safe workplace is the result of both our ‘safety first’ culture 
and a clearly defined set of requirements for all employees. 

Overall, we believe our people feel engaged, included and 
developed. This is evidenced by our 2019 employee 
engagement scores. Indonesia recorded a significant increase 
of six percentage points to 81 per cent, Papua New Guinea  
and Australia recorded impressive increases of 15 and 
12 percentage points respectively. New Zealand continues  
to produce Amatil’s leading engagement scores, achieving  
87 per cent in 2019. 

We are heading in the right direction in relation to gender 
diversity, with 43 per cent of our senior executive roles being 
held by women compared to 34 per cent in 2018. This is  
good progress but there is more to do. 

Better Environment
Inspired by The Coca-Cola Company’s launch of a World 
Without Waste, in early 2019 we implemented a Coca-Cola 
Bottler System first with a 100 per cent recycled PET plastic 
bottle for carbonated beverages. This innovation was 
developed by our team at Eastern Creek in NSW, Australia  
and is an innovation which our peers in the global Coca-Cola 
System are now keen to replicate.

As a result of innovations such as this, we are now producing 
all single-serve and water bottles in 100 per cent recycled 
plastic in Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, we are 
involved in the operation of all planned and operational 
container deposit schemes across Australia, and we continue 
to manage the Fijian based collection scheme Mission Pacific. 
In 2019 we celebrated our eleventh year supporting the Bali 
Beach Clean-Up program. 

Plastic continues to have a valuable role to play in our 
packaging mix. It is efficient to transport and has a low carbon 
footprint when compared to other packaging formats. Finding  
a solution to the impact of plastics on the environment is of 
global importance, and a key priority for Amatil.

Moreover, our 2019 Operating and Financial Review recognised 
the importance of disclosing climate related risks and 
opportunities in line with the recommendations of the  
Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures.  
We will continue to improve our assessment of climate risk, 
management and disclosure approaches in line with these 
recommendations.

Board Update 
Board renewal is an ongoing and important exercise. It ensures 
the Board has the right mix of skills and experience to meet  
the Company’s strategic objectives and future challenges,  
and that our Shareholders are represented by a diverse and 
experienced Board. 

In November 2019 we announced the appointment of  
Penelope (Penny) Winn to the Board, replacing Julie Coates. 
Penny has extensive experience in the retail and fast-moving 
consumer goods sectors, alongside expertise in complex 
logistics and supply chains. 

Creating value together 
The Board is committed to delivering long-term sustainable 
value for our customers, our people, partners, consumers,  
the environment and our shareholders.

Like many organisations across the globe, Amatil is continuing 
to work through the constantly changing impacts of COVID-19, 
with the safety and wellbeing of our people, our consumers,  
our customers and our communities our overriding priority.  
We will continue to evolve our response and assess the  
impact of this global pandemic as its effect on our business 
becomes clearer.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity  
to thank all of our teams across all our geographies for their 
dedication and contribution during the year.

Chairman

MANAGING 
DIRECTOR’S 
REVIEW

GROUP REVENUE INCREASED 
STRONGLY FOR THE YEAR,  
RISING BY 6.7 PER CENT.

ALISON WATKINS , Group Managing Director

AUSTRALIAN BEVERAGES PERFORMED WELL IN 2019, WITH REVENUE 
GROWTH OF 2.4 PER CENT – THE FIRST FULL-YEAR NET REVENUE 
INCREASE SINCE 2012.

At Coca-Cola Amatil, our operations and 
performance are built on the three pillars of 
our Group Strategy – Perform, Grow and Strong 
Organisation, and these are underpinned by 
our approach to creating value for both our 
Shareholders and our society.

2019 was a pleasing year for Coca-Cola Amatil, with top-line 
revenue growth reflecting the impact of our business 
initiatives across each market. 

Statutory Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) was 
$603.4 million, up 31.9 per cent and statutory Net Profit After 
Taxes (NPAT) was $374.4 million, up 34.2 per cent. 

Ongoing1 EBIT was $639.3 million, up 0.8 per cent. Ongoing 
NPAT was $393.9 million, up 1.4 per cent. There was also a 
strong cash flow result, with ongoing free cash flow before 
lease accounting changes improving by $70.8 million on the 
previous period. 

The final dividend for the year is 26 cents, which is 
unfranked. This represents a full year ongoing payout ratio of 
86.4 per cent. Those numbers exclude the four cents per 
share special dividend which was paid at the conclusion of 
the first half following completion of the asset sale of SPC. 
We expect Amatil dividends to return to being franked in 
2021, at above 50 per cent. 

Overall, this is a healthy financial performance for the Group, 
reflecting carefully targeted investment in the Australian and 
Indonesian businesses and strong in-market execution in 
each of our territories. 

Our Businesses 
Australian Beverages performed well in 2019, with revenue 
growth of 2.4 per cent - the first full-year net revenue 
increase since 2012. 

EBIT came in at $369 million. This includes investments in 
‘Feet on the Street’ in the state immediate consumption 
channel, additional commissioning costs for our new bottling 
and distribution centre at Richlands in Queensland, and a 
$9.6 million benefit from the introduction of new lease 
accounting standards during the year. 

Growth in sparkling beverages was driven by the Coca-Cola 
Trademark, including double-digit volume growth for 
Coca-Cola No Sugar which offset a slight decline in volume 
sales of Classic Coca-Cola. 

Underlying volumes in water were solid, despite cessation  
of sales of the low value, low margin Peats Ridge range in 
Officeworks. We increased distribution of Mount Franklin 
water in the state immediate consumption channel, and 
increased ranging in Convenience and Petroleum. We also 
held value share in water in the combined Grocery, and 
Convenience and Petroleum market. 

I am pleased to report that our New Zealand & Fiji segment 
had another very strong year with increases of 7.3 per cent  
in revenue and 10.1 per cent in EBIT. In New Zealand we 
continued to see strong momentum with revenue and volume 
growth and high single digit earnings growth. In Fiji, we 
delivered solid profit growth against a backdrop of challenging 
economic conditions and adverse weather conditions. 

Indonesia & Papua New Guinea delivered double-digit  
revenue and volume growth as well as strong EBIT growth. 
The Indonesia business demonstrated that it was able  
to achieve high single digit revenue and volume growth  
against the backdrop of a market where volume was flat.  
We continued to see very strong momentum in Papua New 
Guinea, with double-digit volume, revenue and EBIT growth, 
underpinned by continued strong demand for sparkling. 

Alcohol & Coffee delivered its fifth consecutive year of 
double-digit EBIT growth. Spirits and premix had another 
strong year with value share gains in rum, vodka and gin.  
We felt competitive pressures in some beer segments 
including in our business in Samoa. This impact, along with 
the measles outbreak in the last quarter, caused challenging 
trading conditions in that region. Our coffee business grew 
revenue and volume benefitting from strong growth delivered 
in the grocery channel through the bean, capsule and ground 
segments. 

Corporate & Services delivered reduced earnings for the year 
due to property sales and investments in Group capabilities 
and IT platforms. SPC is no longer included in this segment  
as the business was sold in mid-2019 for a total consideration 
of $49.6 million resulting in a gain from disposal of 
$13.8 million (after tax). 

Safety 
Our unrelenting focus on safety and wellbeing continued 
throughout the year. Since 2012 we have reduced total  
injuries by 69 per cent, however, in 2019 we saw a 26 per cent 
increase in the total number of injuries from 105 injuries  
in 2018 to 132 in 2019. Reviews have been conducted and 
improvement plans are in place. There is always more to  
be done and we continue to share learnings across our 
operations and geographies. 

Amatil X 
We expanded Amatil X, our emerging possibilities platform, 
into Indonesia in April 2019 through a partnership with 
Digitaraya, an established local accelerator program 
powered by Google Developers Launchpad, to support  
its Fast Moving Consumer Goods cohort. 

In December 2019 Amatil X announced a further partnership, 
with Artesian Venture Partners to establish a multi-million-
dollar fund targeting early stage start-ups focused on 
delivering value for customers, strengthening Amatil’s 
capabilities, and exploring new growth opportunities. The first 
investment from this fund – for New Zealand-based start-up 
Aider – supports delivery of an artificial intelligence digital 
assistant to improve sales outcomes in small and medium 
enterprises in hospitality and retail. 

Executive Team 
We reduced the size of the Group Leadership Team during 
2019 by consolidating responsibilities in line with our regional 
beverages powerhouse ambition and focus on a lean Group 
Office, with the departure of our Managing Director of Alcohol 
& Coffee, Shane Richardson, our Director of Group Public 
Affairs, Communications and Sustainability, Liz McNamara, 
and our Group Director, Partners and Growth, Chris Sullivan.  
We thank Shane, Liz and Chris for their commitment to Amatil 
over many years and wish them all the best for the future. 

I also want to recognise the outstanding contribution and 
dedication of all of our people in each of our businesses  
and locations. Their passion for our brands and our  
customers is inspiring. 

Outlook 
Given the significant uncertainty in relation to the duration 
and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, on 17 March 2020 we 
withdrew our earnings guidance, which was provided to the 
market on 20 February 2020. 

Amatil has a strong balance sheet and low net debt levels, 
ensuring we are well positioned to navigate this event. We 
have been implementing contingency plans to mitigate the 
impacts of COVID-19. We remain committed to keeping our 
Shareholders informed, while we focus on sustaining our 
operations and our commitments to our workforce.

STRATEGY AND LONG-TERM VALUE CREATIONAt the heart of how we create long-term value are our Thriving Customers, and delivering quality, reliability, convenience and service to more than 630,000 customers across our six geographies. Our ability to do this is underpinned by four other value drivers, all of them equal and all of them inter-related. These are Engaged People, Committed Partners, Delighted Consumers, and a Better Environment. Our ability to deliver against each of these is what determines our success in delivering value to our Shareholders and to society.

OUR SHAREHOLDER 
VALUE PROPOSITION

Our Shareholder Value Proposition guides 
our approach to the management of our 
diverse markets and portfolio, and targets the 
contribution each part of our business makes 
to the overall Group outcome. It is a tangible 
demonstration of our commitment to being 
accountable to our Shareholders. 

It is based on our competitive advantages, 
defining a compelling investment case and the 
components that will create Shareholder value.

INVESTMENT CASE

Predominantly a Coca-Cola franchisee with leading 
brands
Our partnership with The Coca-Cola Company gives us access 
to a portfolio of leading brands in a diverse range of categories, 
underpinned by decades of best-in-class marketing and 
product innovation. 

Our portfolio of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink and alcoholic 
beverages is also strengthened by other partnerships and by a 
small number of our own brands. These partnerships give us 
access to other international premium brands which assist us in 
securing market-leading positions and creating additional value. 

These relationships are described in the section ‘Committed 
Partners’. 

Route-to-market with scale and reach
We have an established and unrivalled sales and distribution 
network serving a wide range of customers. 

Our customer base varies between markets, but invariably 
includes small and large supermarkets, corner stores, fuel 
stations, cafes and restaurants across modern and traditional 
trade and increasingly through digital platforms. 

This sales and distribution network is one of our success 
factors as it gives us an accelerated platform to launch new 
products and achieve wide customer reach. 

Additionally, the provision of our branded fridges and vending 
machines gives us significant shelf space in all the markets in 
which we operate. 

Large-scale, modern, low-cost infrastructure 
We pride ourselves on being a world-class beverages company, 
continuously investing in efficiency and capacity for all our 
sites and in all our markets. 

The scale of our operations and quality of our products make us 
one of the most successful and competitive beverage suppliers 
in the Asia-Pacific region. 

We benefit from enviable economies of scale that allow us to 
produce a wide range of products and serve a large number 
of customers.

Steady cash flow from core Australia and New Zealand 
franchises
Our balanced exposure towards developed markets supports 
the sustainability of our business model. 

Our developed markets – Australia and New Zealand –  
generate strong cash flow, supporting the payment of  
attractive dividends while maintaining our ability to reinvest 
in the business to create an even stronger future.

In Indonesia, our geographic and customer reach, combined 
with our multi-category approach, makes us unique and 
positions us well to capture the growth we expect in this market. 

EBIT DRIVERS

Revenue growth and continuous cost focus across  
the Group
Revenue growth and continuous cost focus form the 
foundations of our business plans. These are two important 
building blocks underpinning our ability to grow earnings and 
cash flow.

Appropriate EBIT targets 
We have set medium-term EBIT targets for each of our 
businesses which reflect the market and our position within it. 
Our near-term targets take account of our recent performance 
and plans. 

EPS DRIVERS

Capex
We allocate modest capex for our developed markets with the 
view to maximising returns for our Shareholders. Indonesia 
remains an exciting growth market and we are investing in this 
market to maximise its potential.

Working capital management
Our focus on effective and efficient management of working 
capital resources drives strong cash generation particularly 
across our Australia and New Zealand businesses.

Bolt-on acquisitions and capital management initiatives 
Our priorities for cash are to create value for our Shareholders 
by investing in revenue growth plans, operational efficiencies 
and selective bolt-on acquisitions in existing and new 
beverage categories that strengthen our market leadership 
and our portfolio of beverages. Furthermore, we seek 
opportunities for vertical integration and extensions across 
the value chain.

The Board regularly reviews our capital structure to ensure it 
remains appropriate for our business. It is important that we 
maximise Shareholder returns while also providing sufficient 
funds to support the needs of the business. 

SHAREHOLDER VALUE CREATION

Mid-single digit EPS growth
The aggregation of all these elements underpins our 
expectation to deliver mid-single digit ongoing EPS growth 
in 2020 and over the medium term.

Attractive dividends
After investing to support and maintain the long-term growth 
prospects of the business, we pay our Shareholders attractive 
dividends. Our dividend policy is a payout ratio of above 
80 per cent over the medium term.

Strong balance sheet and return on capital employed
We expect that our balance sheet will remain conservative 
with flexibility to fund future growth opportunities.

We expect to maintain a strong return on capital employed.

OUR COMMITMENT
At the heart of how we create long-term value are our 
Thriving Customers, and delivering quality, reliability, 
convenience and service to more than 630,000 customers 
across our six geographies. 

In 2019, we demonstrated our commitment to customers by: 

 — creating value through a total beverage portfolio

 —  maximising the key selling weeks when beverages are most 

in demand

 — increased focus and investment in small stores to maximise 

beverages potential

 — joint value creation 

 — servicing customers efficiently from order to delivery.

OUR APPROACH

Creating value for customers through a total beverage 
portfolio
In 2019 we introduced new product innovations and focused  
on growing our core range of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink, 
alcohol and coffee beverages. This, supported by other 
initiatives in revenue growth management and route-to-market, 
drove results with our customers across our six geographies. 

By refining our strategies to align by category and channel,  
we helped our customers excite shoppers and grow their 
businesses. In established categories, we experienced 
progress in all regions, and saw a return to volume and revenue 
growth in the Coca-Cola Trademark in Australia. In the 
Australian market we also grew still beverages faster than  
the overall category, which supported value creation for  
our customers. 

For our customers in Indonesia, we drove volume-led growth 
across core categories with water and value-added dairy the 
main contributors of volume growth in still beverages. 

In alcohol, strong performance in the spirits and premix 
segment was driven by Canadian Club and innovation such  
as Koyomi and Roku Gin. 

In coffee, we saw strong revenue and volume growth in the 
grocery channel in bean, capsule and ground segments with 
our national account customers growing strongly. 

Maximising the key selling weeks when beverages are 
most in demand
Peak selling periods, including Christmas, Easter and Football 
Finals in Australia, are critical to success in the market. In 
these weeks, shoppers on average spend more within the 
beverage category, and a higher number of shoppers enter 
the category. 

In 2019 we relaunched the popular ‘Share a Coke’ campaign, 
Coca-Cola’s largest global campaign. The success of this 
campaign, combined with targeted execution and revenue 
growth management initiatives, delivered strong performance 
of the Coca-Cola Trademark across the 2019 festive and 
summer periods. 

In alcohol, key selling weeks were also distinct opportunities 
for our brands to increase their profile. In our Coors Beer brand, 
we focused activation for the American Superbowl event and  
in Magners Cider, St Patricks Day was a key selling period. 
Canadian Club was once again official partner of the Australian 
Open, and the summer festive period is always a perfect 
opportunity to profile our spirits portfolio for celebrations  
with family and friends or for gifting.

PIZZA HUT AUSTRALIA’S SUPPLIER  
OF THE YEAR 
Pizza Hut recently partnered with 
Amatil for the first time in Australia 
and only 12 months on we received 
Pizza Hut Australia’s Supplier of 
the Year Award. CEO of Pizza Hut 
Australia, Mr Phil Reed, described 
Amatil as: “A phenomenal partner 
helping two exceptional, iconic 
brands deliver 100 per cent Guest 
Experience so that customers 
across the whole of Australia can 
#sharegoodtimes.”

AMATIL WINS BURGER KING’S ANNUAL 
AWARD FOR BEST PARTNER OF THE YEAR 
IN INDONESIA
For three consecutive years, in 2017, 
2018 and 2019, Burger King awarded 
us the Best Partner of the Year 
Award for our service of more than 
160 Burger King outlets throughout 
Indonesia. This prestigious award 
recognised Amatil’s product 
portfolio, supply chain management, 
field service, marketing support, 
continuous business review and 
best-practice sharing.

THRIVING CUSTOMERS (CONTINUED)

Increased focus and investment in small stores  
to maximise beverages potential
Our small stores focus is becoming increasingly critical as it 
continues to offer revenue growth potential for our customers. 

To seize these opportunities, we took learnings from the 
New Zealand market and applied them to the Australian 
market. As part of the Accelerated Australian Growth Plan, we 
invested in our sales force with an additional 95 people placed 
in the state immediate consumption channel. The ‘Feet On The 
Street’ initiative substantially increased our customer visitation 
frequency and focused on driving the right range in-store. 
This focus on small stores resulted in increased volumes for 
customers in state immediate consumption. 

Our cold drink equipment fleet was another strong enabler in 
driving growth with our small store customers. In 2019 we 
focused on optimising performance across our strategic assets, 
by reactivating coolers in market and driving cooler purity of 
Amatil product ranges. Technology and innovation have been 
leveraged to enhance the consumer experience, and we are 
focused on driving the sustainability of our equipment through 
reduced energy usage and recyclability.

AMATIL X IN INDONESIA

In April 2019, Coca-Cola Amatil announced its 
corporate venture capital platform Amatil X would 
extend its geographical reach from Australia and 
NZ to include Indonesia. 

Amatil X was established in 2018 to help us identify, work 
with, and invest in start-ups. The model allows us to 
partner with, or invest in start-ups that offer new ways to:

— help our customers to grow 

— deliver our beverages

— sell to consumers, or

— reduce our impact on the environment.

We are also looking for start-ups who can work with us to 
solve our business challenges or help us better serve our 
customers.

Amatil X plays a unique role in building entrepreneurial 
capability at Coca-Cola Amatil. In 2019, we launched our 
flagship program, the Amatil X Academy in Indonesia. The 
Academy is a structured six-month internal accelerator 
designed to build entrepreneurial capability and connect 
our people to the local start-up ecosystem.

In its first year, Amatil X trained 1,629 employees at 
14 locations across Indonesia to apply Lean Start-up 
methodology to a corporate environment and 
demonstrated that great value can be unlocked when 
corporates and start-ups work together. 

Two winning teams had the opportunity to build their 
ideas into working prototypes to help solve some of the 
challenges facing our Indonesian business including 
managing plastic waste and product inventory tracking.

Joint value creation
Our success, and the success of our customers, requires us to 
work together to improve shopper satisfaction. Joint business 
plans and workshops are an essential part of this collaboration 
resulting in clearly defined shared responsibilities and joint 
tracking scorecards to evaluate progress and results. 

Another way we strengthen relationships and grow share is  
by leveraging our insights into category trends and shopper 
behaviour. Our access to a broad range of retailer, transaction 
and loyalty data means our industry, channel and customer 
knowledge is unrivalled. We are highly valuable as a business 
partner in providing insight-based recommendations to 
increase beverage incidence and drive growth across our 
customers. 

Wherever possible we work in partnership with our customers 
to ensure that they have the confidence to understand how 
we, as a major supplier, are helping make their supply chain 
more sustainable. 

Servicing customers efficiently from order to delivery
Our operating models are customer-centric and customised to 
the needs of local markets. We use a range of route-to-market 
models to maximise service across all regions. 

In Indonesia, we moved to a two-fold distribution strategy that 
has generated significant improvements in effectiveness and 
efficiency in our route-to-market execution. In addition to our 
own distribution network, we have established a network of 
Coca-Cola Official Distributors. These distributors offer better 
capability to execute the ‘last mile’ delivery significantly 
increasing our customer reach while allowing us to maintain 
relationships with our customers. 

In our Australian business, we moved from a state-led structure 
to a channel-led structure with ownership from strategy to 
execution and clarity of channel portfolio. Our regional 
coverage in Australia is a significant advantage, with delivery to 
85 per cent of postcodes weekly and 96 per cent of postcodes 
fortnightly. Our ability to efficiently serve our diverse range of 
customers has seen us achieve volume growth in all major 
channels in 2019, including grocery, convenience and 
petroleum and On the Go. 

In New Zealand, performance was underpinned by moving our 
customer relationships from being a ‘supplier of need’ to a 
‘business partner of choice’. We provided the right tools and 
resources to support our sales teams, leveraging our high-
touch model with continuous learning, development and 
coaching. This was a key factor to our success in helping our 
smaller customers grow to their full potential. Our focus on 
being a partner of choice enables the field team to secure 
longer-term contracts with smaller stores and outlets and 
deliver tailored execution to meet their needs. 

For our customers in Fiji our high touch point service model 
continues to strengthen our relentless approach to superior 
customer service delivering incremental growth in the 
immediate consumption and take-home market. With this 
approach, we increased the number of small customer outlets 
by six per cent in 2019. 

In Papua New Guinea, we have focused on developing and 
reinforcing relationships with our prime distribution partners, 
leveraging their delivery network and capability to expand our 
reach together with our record ‘feet-on-ground’. 

OUR PROGRESS
Our progress is evident in our ability to win in the 
market, deliver new business growth and receive  
strong customer recognition.

In Australia, Pizza Hut recently partnered with Amatil for the 
first time in Australia. After only one year of service with Pizza 
Hut, we were honoured to receive their Supplier of the Year 
Award. This followed business wins with Red Rooster, Oporto, 
Bankwest Stadium, Hilton Hotels and Amatil becoming the first 
principal partner of the new Sydney Zoo. Our focus  
on driving the right range in small stores has resulted in an 
increase in core ranging points, the top 20 products relevant  
to the state immediate consumption channel in Australia.

Our New Zealand business was recognised as the number one 
supplier in the categories of Head office, Field, Delivery and 
National Contact Centre through the Coalface survey with a 
Net Promoter Score of 64.

The New Zealand team created new customer partnerships 
throughout 2019 and were recognised through multiple 
customer and industry awards including the Thirsty Liquor and 
Black Bull Liquor Key Account Manager of the Year, Countdown 
awards for Account Manager of the Year and Integrated 
Supplier Planner of the Year, CRM awards for Outbound 
Business to Business, Inbound Sales for our Customer Service 
Team, Favourite Outbound Customer Sales Rep of the Year, and 
New Zealand Association of Convenience Stores awards for 
Best Service to Stores, Best Administration Support and Best 
Delivery Service to Stores. 

The Fiji group continued to strive in managing customer 
relationships and secured the Sofitel Group contract along with 
other key major local players in the cinema, Supermarket and 
Petroleum channels. 

In 2019 the Indonesian team established new business 
partnerships which included KFC, Pizza Hut, Texas Chicken, 
Boga Group, Marriot Starwood Hotel Group, Lotteria, Lotte 
Cinema, Platinum Cinema, and Hanamasa. The team was also 
awarded Burger King’s Partner of the Year award for the third 
consecutive year in Indonesia. 

In Papua New Guinea, we have increased penetration by driving 
availability through our prime distribution partners while 
developing new complimentary ones. This has had a significant 
impact in delivering a double-digit growth performance.

PARTNERING FOR COMMERCIAL  
AND SUSTAINABILITY OUTCOMES
Amatil is the first principal sponsor 
of the new Sydney Zoo, near 
Blacktown. In line with Sydney 
Zoo’s commitment to sustainability 
all plastic bottles 600ml and less 
at the zoo are made from 100 per 
cent recycled plastic and 
consumers are encouraged to 
recycle the bottles. This is one 
example of Amatil’s commitment to 
bring sustainability innovations to 
market for the commercial benefit 
of our customers.

MONSTER ENERGY
We’re proud to partner with Monster Energy 
Company – one of the biggest energy drink

OUR COMMITMENT
We have a long and proud history of working closely with brand 
partners to bottle, package, sell and distribute a leading range 
of brands and products. 

In addition to brand partners, we have valued partnerships 
throughout our value chain, including with suppliers. We have 
made public sustainability goals to be achieved by the end of 
2020, being to ensure 80 per cent of spend with suppliers is 
covered by responsible sourcing assessments.

We request our supplier partners to follow Coca-Cola Amatil’s 
Responsible Sourcing Guidelines as well as The Coca-Cola 
Company’s Supplier Guiding Principles. Environmental and 
social sustainability criteria is also an important part of  
supplier sustainability assessments covering most of  
Coca-Cola Amatil’s key suppliers. 

We will keep looking for more opportunities to grow within 
these existing partnerships, as well as opportunities for  
new relationships with organisations that share our thirst  
for making possibilities a reality.

OUR APPROACH
Our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company 
Coca-Cola Amatil has a long-standing relationship with The 
Coca-Cola Company, which is both a Shareholder and brand 
owner. We are proud to have been a Coca-Cola bottler and 
distributor since 1965.

Our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company has evolved  
over the years, driven by the need for agility, responsiveness 
and proximity to the customer and consumer. Our relationship 
is marked by a new level of financial and strategic alignment  
as well as a shared vision of growth that positions us to win  
in increasingly competitive and fast-paced operating 
environments. 

We prepare, import, sell and distribute a range of products of 
The Coca-Cola Company and its affiliates and have a range of 
different agreements with them, reflecting the nature of those 
products and our role in different markets.

Our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company and its affiliates 
is governed in our various markets by bottlers’, distributors’ and 
license agreements which set out the respective rights and 
responsibilities of Coca-Cola Amatil and The Coca-Cola 
Company or its relevant affiliate. These agreements are 
typically 10 years in duration and have consistently been 
extended or renewed.

Our agreements relating to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji 
and Samoa are due for renewal or extension during 2020.

Our agreements with The Coca-Cola Company and its affiliates 
provide us exclusive rights to prepare, package, sell or 
distribute the relevant trademarked products of The Coca-Cola 
Company and its affiliate in a territory. Our agreements contain 
obligations in relation to production and marketing 
requirements of The Coca-Cola Company.

The Coca-Cola Company and its affiliates take overall 
responsibility for the consumer marketing of their products,  
for product innovation and research and development, and  
the supply of proprietary concentrates and beverage bases  
to Coca-Cola Amatil. 

Coca-Cola Amatil is responsible for determining the pricing  
of products offered to customers. 

Raw Materials and Concentrates The raw materials we use 
in our beverages include water, sugar and other sweeteners, 
carbon dioxide gas, glass and PET bottles, aluminium cans, 
closures and other packaging materials. We also purchase 
concentrate and beverage bases from The Coca-Cola Company 
which constitutes our largest individual product input cost. 
The price of concentrate and beverage base has historically 
been determined annually on a country by country basis. 
Concentrate and beverage base are priced and paid in the local 
currency of each Coca-Cola Amatil territory except in Papua 
New Guinea where it is priced in Kina and paid in USD.

Marketing Coca-Cola Amatil and The Coca-Cola Company’s 
affiliates work together on marketing activities on a country 
by country basis, with expenditure allocated annually and 
subject to revision throughout the year. The Coca-Cola 
Company’s marketing focuses on consumer awareness and 
advertising, while our marketing focuses on sales and point of 
sale execution, customer service, and our range of packaging 
options. We are also focused on increasing the number of 
points of sale through investing in distribution and cold drink 
equipment.

Restrictions & Consents Generally, our arrangements with  
The Coca-Cola Company prohibit us from producing, promoting 
or selling any non-alcoholic beverage without The Coca-Cola 
Company’s consent. However, with The Coca-Cola Company’s 
consent, we own outright and distribute the following brands: 
Mount Franklin, Kirks, Deep Spring, Bisleri Chinotto, L&P and 
Pump (in New Zealand). We are also required to gain consent from 
The Coca-Cola Company for distributing or storing any products, 
other than those of The Coca-Cola Company, in vehicles or 
equipment that has The Coca-Cola Company branding. 

Coca-Cola System Benefits Over the past years we have 
worked to broaden and deepen our relationship with The Coca-
Cola Company to unlock many of the benefits that come with 
being part of the Coca-Cola System.

COMMITTED PARTNERS (CONTINUED)

In addition to access to leading iconic beverages such as 
Coca-Cola, Sprite and Fanta, we have had access to new 
products via a strong innovation pipeline and a strengthened 
Merger and Acquisition capability.

Other benefits of being part of the Coca-Cola System include 
the opportunity to improve our knowledge and talent sharing 
with the bottler community, increase our access to data and 
insights, and leverage the work being done across the system  
in relation to responsible sourcing.

We gain significant benefits of scale through procurement 
across many categories of inputs and arrangements with our 
technology partners. 

All of this, combined with our unrivalled reach and execution 
capability, positions Amatil as a beverages leader with real 
competitive advantage.

OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADDITIONAL 
BRAND PARTNERS
Coca-Cola Amatil has a number of complementary 
relationships with other brand partners in the non-
alcoholic ready-to-drink, alcoholic and hot beverages 
industries. Each relationship is different, and we  
work closely with our partners to ensure we grow  
our businesses together.

Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Monster In May 2016, we entered into agreements with Monster 
Energy Company, a subsidiary of Monster Beverage Corporation, 
of up to 20 years, for Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New 
Guinea. These agreements give us the exclusive right to produce, 
distribute and sell energy drinks including Monster Energy in 
Australia and New Zealand, Mother in Australia, New Zealand 
and Fiji, Live+ in New Zealand and BU in Papua New Guinea. This 
followed the announcement of Monster Beverage Corporation’s  
long-term strategic partnership with The Coca-Cola Company in  
June 2015 to take ownership of The Coca-Cola Company energy 
brands at that time, including Mother and BU.

Made Group In October 2018 Coca-Cola Amatil and The Coca-Cola 
Company announced a joint acquisition of 45 per cent minority 
interest in Australia-based Made Group which produces a range 
of brands including Cocobella, Rokeby Farms, Impressed and 
NutrientWater. 

Organic & Raw Trading Co In October 2018 Coca-Cola Amatil 
entered into an agreement to sell and distribute the Kombucha  
brand Mojo following the acquisition of Organic & Raw Trading Co 
by The Coca-Cola Company in September 2018.

Alcoholic Beverages
Beam Suntory In June 2015 we renewed our agreement with 
Beam Suntory to sell and distribute Beam Suntory’s premium  
spirits portfolio in Australia and extended the relationship to 
New Zealand. The term of the agreement is 10 years in duration. 
We have distributed the Beam portfolio since 2006 and have  
seen the portfolio broaden significantly in that time.

Molson Coors International In 2013 we entered into a distribution 
agreement with Molson Coors International for Australia. Following 
Molson Coors’ acquisition of the Miller brand in 2016 we replaced our 
historical arrangements with a new long-term agreement under which 
we have the exclusive right to manufacture, import and distribute a 
range of Molson Coors’ products in Australia.

Casella Family Brands And Australian Beer Company In January 
2013, we established a joint venture with Casella Family Brands to 
form Australian Beer Company. Australian Beer Company produces 
a range of beers and cider products including Yenda and Pressman’s 
Cider as well as seasonal craft beers. Coca-Cola Amatil distributes 
Australian Beer Company’s products.

C&C Group In July 2014, we entered into a distribution agreement 
with C&C Group – owner of the Magners brand – for the distribution 
of Magners in New Zealand. This was renewed in 2015 and then 
in May 2017, we also entered a new long-term agreement for 
distribution in Australia. 

Abro In 2014 we brought the Rekorderlig brand into our portfolio 
by entering a long-term sales and distribution agreement with Chilli 
Brands. In 2018 we strengthened our relationship with the brand by 
entering into a long-term distribution agreement with Abro, the global 
brand owner of Rekorderlig Cider, and assumed full responsibility for 
the distribution and marketing of the brand in Australia.

Boston Beer Company In August 2013, we entered into a long-term 
distribution agreement with Boston Beer Company, which brought 
the Samuel Adams brand into our portfolio. 

Wellington Beverage Co. In 2019 we entered into a long-term 
distribution agreement with Wellington Beverage Co. to add the 
Fortunate Favours Beer and Cider ranges to our New Zealand 
portfolio.

Coffee
Caffitaly In 2016 we enhanced our relationship with Caffitaly by 
securing the exclusive right to import and sell Caffitaly coffee 
machines and a range of our coffee brands in Indonesia. In 2018 we 
expanded this relationship by extending the exclusive Master Supply 
Agreement to include the sales and distribution of Caffitaly coffee 
machines and coffee capsules, including under the Grinders Café 
Expresso system in Australia, New Zealand and Samoa.

Rancilio In 2005, Grinders Coffee commenced a long-term 
relationship with Rancilio Group and remains a key trading 
partner for Rancilio professional coffee machines in Australia. 
A leading coffee equipment manufacturer, Rancilio Group is 
most widely acclaimed for technologically advanced coffee 
machines, both traditional and fully automatic, as well as 
instant and electronic doser grinders.

OUR PROGRESS
We work closely with all partners to leverage the 
unique strength of each partnership. 

Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Core to what we do is our long and proud relationship with 
The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC).

TCCC is the global leader in beverages, with 133 years of 
experience and home to more than 500 brands across 
carbonated drinks, waters, juice, energy and sports drinks,  
dairy and plant-based beverages, and ready-to-drink teas  
and coffees. It is at the centre of the world’s largest beverage 
distribution system, with consumers in almost every country.

Over the past five years we have worked to broaden and deepen 
our relationship with TCCC to unlock many of the benefits that 
come with being part of the Coca-Cola System.

In addition to access to leading iconic beverages we have  
had access to new products via a strong innovation pipeline 
and a strengthened Merger and Acquisition capability.

This has grown our network across the System, improved  
our knowledge and talent sharing with the bottler community, 
increased our access to data and insights and enabled us to 
leverage the work being done across the System in relation  
to responsible sourcing. 

Alcoholic Beverages
We continued to focus on innovation and new product 
development through our partnership with Beam Suntory 
across Australia and New Zealand, and the successful launches 
of Roku premium gin and the Koyomi range of new-to-world 
Shochu-based drinks. We also built our category leadership 
position in bourbon and new age whiskey.

In the beer and cider categories, we worked closely with our 
partners to leverage opportunities across all categories. In beer 
and cider, our success continues to be driven by premium beer 
brands Coors, Blue Moon and Miller. With Australian Beer 
Company, Feral, Abro and C&C Group, we are also focused on 
growing our craft beer and our cider portfolios and working 
closely to take advantage of significant opportunities across 
categories where we can leverage our distribution and footprint. 

Partnering with suppliers and responsible sourcing
In 2019 over 80 per cent of suppliers, by share of spend,1 were 
assessed through responsible sourcing assessments that 
measure performance against the Coca-Cola Company’s 
Supplier Guiding Principles or Amatil’s Responsible Sourcing 
Guidelines. We apply a tiered approach, which includes 
partnering with independent third parties to assess suppliers 
in different risk procurement categories.

The Candler Cup is a global competition to find the 
very best Coca-Cola Company bottler in the world. 
Judging is based on executional excellence and 
commercial results.

For the second year running, Coca-Cola Amatil 
New Zealand was awarded #1 bottler in the Asia Pacific 
region. We went on to compete in the global Candler Cup 
where we became the only bottler to be a finalist for two 
consecutive years – a result we are very proud of. 

It’s a privilege to compete in this competition alongside 
bottlers from across the globe. The competition is not 
only a highlight on the calendar for our teams but an 
opportunity to showcase innovation and excellence 
from across our business.

The Candler Cup is named after Asa Candler who 
purchased control of Coca-Cola from inventor, 
John Pemberton, in 1887. By 1891, Candler had full 
control of the Coca-Cola product and when he sold 
the company in 1919, it was worth $US25 million  
(or $US342 million in today’s money).

OUR COMMITMENT
At Coca-Cola Amatil, we know that our success as an 
organisation depends on our people. Our overall commitment 
to, and expectations of, our people have been brought 
together in our People Pact, which is a statement of how we 
will work together to achieve organisation growth. Launched 
in 2017, the People Pact accompanies our vision and strategy, 
our values, leadership capabilities and our #onlyatAmatil 
moments and remains an important set of promises between 
individual employees and the organisation. 

In support of our commitment to developing inspiring leaders 
who energise, empower and engage their teams, in 2019 we 
introduced newly created Amatil leadership development 
programs. These have resulted in enhanced capability and 
increased engagement within our management populations 
and accordingly, with the teams that they lead. Specifically, 
our David Gonski Women in Leadership program is now in its 
fourth year and continues to develop, inspire and increase the 
confidence and profile of our women leaders across Amatil.

Human Rights has always been a priority and our Human Rights 
Policy ensures that our commitment, particularly to our own 
people, is clear. Included in our suite of 2020 Sustainability 
goals we have publicly stated our commitment to:

 — implementing and embedding our Human Rights Policy

 — having a Zero Harm workplace

 — having at least 30 per cent of Board, Senior Executive  

and Management positions held by women.

At Amatil, everything we do to engage, empower and  
develop our leaders and organisation brings us together  
with a commercial and values-driven purpose for today  
and tomorrow.

OUR APPROACH
Material hazards and priorities have been identified in  
our Coca-Cola Amatil Group-wide Health and Safety 
Management Framework. Our Diversity and Inclusion strategy 
also identifies priority areas for improvement. In addition to 
these, each business sets its own objectives and priorities on 
these topics, taking into consideration the needs of its people, 
business, markets, customers, consumers, partners, and 
communities.

The Board’s Risk and Sustainability Committee oversees the 
Group-wide Health and Safety Management Framework and 
achievements. The Board’s People Committee monitors the 
outcomes of our Diversity and Inclusion strategy. All people 
programs are guided by regulatory requirements and relevant 
company policies including the Coca-Cola Amatil Group-wide 
Code of Conduct – How We Do Business, Health, Safety and 
Wellbeing Policy, Gender Diversity Policy, Human Rights 
Policy, Whistleblower Protection Policy, People Pact, 
Domestic and Family Violence Policy (Australia) and  
Domestic Violence Policy (New Zealand).

Our Health and Safety Management Framework is certified  
at Group level under global OHSAS 18001 Standard. Formal 
joint management-worker health and safety committees 
operate at site level in all locations and all employees are 
represented by these committees. In most jurisdictions our 
formal agreements with trade unions also cover health and 
safety aspects. Health and safety performance is also 
monitored via regular internal and external audits and audits 
conducted by The Coca-Cola Company, to ensure we meet 
stringent quality, safety and environment requirements.

We also follow our own and partner guidelines such as 
The Coca-Cola Company’s Supplier Guiding Principles and 
Coca-Cola Amatil’s Responsible Sourcing Guidelines. 
Commitments to health, safety, diversity and human rights  
are also included as part of total supplier sustainability 
assessments covering the majority of our key suppliers.

A BUSINESS OUR PEOPLE ARE PROUD OF
Coca-Cola Amatil New Zealand has 
been recognised as one of the 
country’s best employers for the 
fourth consecutive year, receiving 
the prestigious Aon Best Employer 
Accreditation in 2019. This 
achievement adds to a range of 
official endorsements in recent years 
that recognise our commitment to 
our people.

EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERING IN SAMOA
Our engineering team from 
Paradise Beverages showed  
their ingenuity and pride by 
repurposing plastic drums from 
our manufacturing sites into 
rubbish bins, donating these to 
local beach picnic sites, and 
volunteering for beach clean-ups.

OUR PROGRESS
We’re proud of our culture and values, and the distinct 
and positive contribution our people make to the world 
in which we live. Across diverse regions and businesses, 
we focus on attracting, developing, retaining and 
engaging people who bring different experiences, 
thinking, attitudes, opinions and ideas. We also focus  
on keeping them safe, well and supported. 

Safety and employee wellbeing
We strive to achieve and maintain a zero-harm workplace where 
safety is everyone’s responsibility. The Group’s Health, Safety 
and Wellbeing Policy requires all employees, suppliers, 
contractors and visitors to operate to the highest standards.  
For Coca-Cola Amatil, a safe workplace is the result of both  
our ‘safety first’ culture and a clearly defined set of 
requirements for all employees.

Tragically, our Indonesian business reported four traffic-related 
fatalities in 20192. Three of these fatalities were Coca-Cola 
Amatil employees or contractors who died as a result of traffic 
accidents which occurred when they were working. One of the 
fatalities was a member of the public, who was involved in an 
accident where a third-party delivery driver, contracted to 
Coca-Cola Amatil, was found to be at fault.

Our condolences go to the family and friends of the deceased. 
Such a loss of life is unacceptable and our response to these 
incidents has been immediate and comprehensive, with full 
investigations and corrective actions applied locally and across 
the organisation. We invest in significant driver training 
programs across all countries, but particularly in Indonesia, 
where we’ve expanded these beyond our employees and 
contractors to the broader community. 

Indonesia continues to take a multi-faceted approach to safety, 
with substantial investment in safety programs over the past 
five years. In addition to driver safety, Indonesia’s hazard 
identification program has been instrumental in embedding  
a safety mindset and addressed many hazards across the 
business. 

Although since 2012 we have reduced total injuries by  
69 per cent, in 2019 we saw a 26 per cent increase in the 
total number of injuries to 132 from 105 in 2018. Reviews  
have been conducted and improvement plans are now in 
place to address this.

Human rights
In 2019, 84.8 per cent of our people across all countries 
completed the training program that we implemented, both 
online and offline, for our Human Rights Policy. Around 75 per 
cent of our employees are covered by collective bargaining 
agreements and we screen more than 80 per cent of supplier 
spend against responsible sourcing criteria, including human 
rights considerations across Amatil’s supply base.

1  Restated for previous years excluding SPC. Our injury and diversity data 
covers direct employees, which excludes contractors and outsourced 
workers. 88.3 per cent of our direct employees have permanent roles while 
the balance are fixed term.

2  When reporting on loss of life we include all work-related incidents where 
employees or contractors have died, or which have occurred on-site; and 
all incidents involving members of the public, where, post-investigation, 
Coca-Cola Amatil or its contractors were found to be at fault.

3  Excludes Group function injuries and hours.
4 

 We have introduced a new and consistent definition for 2018 using 
Workplace Gender Equality Agency (Australia) descriptors. This has 
provided our 2018 baseline of 21 per cent. A managerial position is one 
that has a direct report.

Engagement and development of our people
Our people feel engaged, included and developed. This is 
evidenced by the engagement scores we achieved across the 
business. In 2019 our Alcohol & Coffee business across all 
countries, Australian Beverages and Group Office moved to a 
new engagement survey platform, achieving an overall score of 
70 per cent. Indonesia, New Zealand, and Fiji remained using 
the same survey platform achieving a combined 80 per cent. 
Indonesia recorded a significant increase of six percentage 
points to 81 per cent; Papua New Guinea and Australia 
experienced impressive increases of 15 and 12 percentage 
points respectively. New Zealand continues to produce leading 
engagement scores achieving 87 per cent in 2019. 

Coca-Cola Amatil continues to support employee volunteering 
and fundraising, professional pro-bono services and matched 
workplace giving. All Australian-based employees receive one 
day’s paid leave a year for volunteering and in 2019, 114 people 
accessed this leave. In addition, paid leave is provided, at the 
discretion of managers, for volunteering with emergency 
services.

Employee development is supported across our business by 
programs that build leadership skills at all levels, individual 
development and functional advancement. Our David Gonski 
Women Leaders program continues to build high performing, 
engaged female leaders and our talent succession processes 
ensure we have a strong pipeline of capable people to deliver 
our strategy for today and tomorrow. From 82 total participants 
since the program launched, 18 per cent have been promoted, 
21 per cent have achieved expanded or new roles and 76 per 
cent have stayed with Amatil. Other programs include the 
Amatil X Academy in Indonesia, Leadership Speaker Series, 
Sisterhood Fiji and Change Agents in our Paradise Beverages 
business in Fiji. 

Diversity and inclusion
We recognise that a diverse workforce encompasses gender, 
ethnicity, age, disability, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, 
family and relationship status, socio-economic background  
and education. Diversity also encompasses the many ways our 
people work, their life experience, location, ways of thinking  
and work experiences.

Senior Executives

A cornerstone of our business transformation in 
Papua New Guinea is investment in the capability 
of our people. 

Programs such as the CareerTrackers Indigenous 
Internship Program and the Supply Chain Academy are 
providing the experience and technical development 
needed to connect people to industry, and ultimately 
provide job opportunities for current and future 
generations.

CareerTrackers is a non-profit organisation which aims to 
create pathways and support systems for young adults.  
Its 12-week program is designed to support students at 
university gain valuable work experience, develop 
presentation and communication skills and receive 
exposure to technical competencies through on-the-job 
experience. The program was launched in 2018 in Papua 
New Guinea and 37 interns have now completed it. 

The Supply Chain Academy, launched in 2019, aims to 
upskill employees with technical skills to apply to their 
positions and enable them to apply sound thinking and  
right work behaviours with the machines they operate.  
To date, 26 employees have graduated from the program. 
With Papua New Guinea facing an increase in youth 
unemployment and a scarcity of skilled labour, these 
programs help develop a skilled workforce who will have a 
greater range of expertise to contribute not only to Amatil 
but the economic development of their country. 

By embracing an inclusive culture, we build a team of people 
who bring their differences to work every day to deliver growth 
and build a stronger organisation for today, and tomorrow. We 
continue to make good progress on our gender diversity targets. 
Women now hold 38 per cent of Board, 43 per cent of senior 
executive and 21 per cent of management positions.

OUR COMMITMENT
We’re open and responsive to changing consumer tastes  
and preferences and aligned with global health guidelines 
and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We are committed to offering choice and information. We 
measure the amount of sugar per 100ml of our non-alcoholic 
beverages portfolio in all countries of operation and aim to 
reduce total sugar per 100ml by 10 per cent in Australia and 
New Zealand by 2020 and by over 20 per cent in Indonesia.1

We have also joined with industry peers in Australia to set an 
industry-wide pledge of a 20 per cent reduction in sugar per 
100ml across our non-alcoholic beverages portfolio by 2025. 
This pledge is also shared by our New Zealand business.  
In addition, we are committed to have the nutrition and 
responsible consumption information that our consumers 
want, conveniently available.

Our vision to delight is not limited to consumers. We also  
seek to delight the communities in which we operate,  
through a unique, sustained and valued collective impact. 
We aim to contribute the equivalent of one per cent of  
EBIT to community investment and are tracking the impact 
of this investment over time.

OUR APPROACH
Our wellbeing initiatives, which include quality standards,  
are guided by regulatory requirements and relevant company 
policies. These include the Coca-Cola Amatil Group Human 
Rights Policy and Alcohol Advertising and Marketing 
Standards, which confirm our commitment to the wellbeing of 
our consumers. We also adhere to The Coca-Cola Company’s 
Responsible Marketing Policy, Global School Beverage 
Guidelines and local industry voluntary commitments such as 
the Alcohol Beverages Advertising Code (known as ABAC) 
and DrinkWise Australia’s voluntary labelling guidelines, the 
Responsible Children’s Marketing Initiative in Australia, and 
New Zealand’s Healthy Kids Pledge. Quality performance is 
monitored via regular internal and external audits and audits 
conducted by The Coca-Cola Company to ensure we meet 
stringent Quality, Safety and Environmental requirements.  
We are committed to World Health Organisation Guidelines 
on recommended added sugar intakes.

Our Coca-Cola Amatil Group-wide Community Strategy 
Gotong Royong2 sets the framework for our community 
investment and activities. All community programs are guided 
by regulatory requirements and relevant company policies 
including the Coca-Cola Amatil Group Human Rights Policy, 
Environment Policy and Responsible Sourcing Guidelines.  
In partnership with The Coca-Cola Company there is a 
philanthropic foundation in Australia with an independent 
board and chairman. This is governed in accordance with 
Australian regulations and expectations of philanthropic 
foundations. In 2017 Coca-Cola Amatil joined LBG (formerly 
known as London Benchmarking Group) to verify and 
benchmark our community investment across the Group.

1  Based on portfolio-wide weighted volume sugar content (g/100ml). All targets are for 2020 compared to Moving Annual Trend for 1 January 2016 

unless otherwise specified.

2  Gotong Royong is an Indonesian phrase that translates as ‘cooperation in a community’ or ‘communal helping of one another’.

SUPPORTING BUSHFIRE RECOVERY 
IN AUSTRALIA
In late 2019 and early 2020 the 
east coast of Australia was 
ravaged by bushfires. To help 
emergency crews and communities, 
we donated more than 250,000 
bottles of water and Powerade 
and the exclusive ‘Share a Coke 
with the Firies’ can was created as 
an expression of our thanks.

PROVIDING RELIEF TO FLOOD 
AFFECTED INDONESIA
In 2019 Indonesia was impacted 
floods in the greater Jakarta 
and Banten areas. To provide 
relief to communities in these 
areas, Amatil donated more 
than 37,000 bottles of Ades 
water and financial aid.

OUR PROGRESS
To fulfil our vision to delight our consumers, we are 
increasing choice in all product categories, building  
on our commitment to responsible marketing and 
providing consumers with the information they need to 
decide on the right beverage for them at any occasion. 
We have also made good progress on our community 
investment goals and have improved our ability  
to assess our programs’ impact over time.

Delighting Consumers
During summer, Australians were able to ‘Share a Coke’ with 
friends and family with Coca-Cola releasing hundreds of its 
iconic bottles and cans featuring popular and diverse names 
that represent modern Australia. This successful campaign 
ensured every moment was memorable with personalised 
bottles of Coca-Cola. 

30

Consumer Wellbeing
By the end of 2019 we had made good progress towards our 
sugar reduction goals for our non-alcoholic beverage portfolio. 
In Australia, we have reformulated 25 products since 2015, 
including five in 2019, and reduced our sugar grams per 100ml 
in Australia by 8.8 per cent compared to the 2015 baseline.  
In New Zealand we have reformulated eight products since 
2015, reducing sugar grams per 100ml by 5.3 per cent. We 
are actively working in both countries to introduce further 
reformulations and low- or no-kilojoule new products that 
delight consumers, in 2020 and beyond. In both Australia  
and New Zealand 90 per cent of Coca-Cola product marketing 
in 2019 featured reduced or no-sugar Coca-Cola.

We are also making good progress in our other countries  
of operation, measuring portfolio-wide sugar content, 
implementing reformulation road maps, and planning further 
new low- or no-kilojoule product launches. In Indonesia, we 
have reformulated eight products since 2015, reducing sugar 
grams per 100ml by 13.5 per cent compared to the 2015 
baseline.

In Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia we are continuing to 
make small pack sizes available in all distribution channels. 
Small packs are now offered in 90 per cent of grocery stores 
and 72 per cent of petrol and convenience stores in Australia. 
In New Zealand 100 per cent of grocery stores and 61 per cent 
of petrol and convenience stores offer small packs.

Product innovation further delighted consumers with the 
introduction of Nutriboost in Indonesia, New Zealand and 
Australia and Powerade Active Water in Australia and New 
Zealand. Indonesia also launched Sprite Waterlymon with  
less sugar content.

For our alcoholic beverage portfolio, we have continued to 
embed our Alcohol Advertising and Marketing Framework, a 
training and marketing approvals process that we introduced in 
2017. In 2019 we completed an audit of a cross-section of all 
our alcohol advertising activities, across all countries; the 
findings of which showed a 100 per cent compliance rate.

Investing in our Communities
We’re fortunate to operate in six countries, across diverse and 
engaged communities, and privileged to work across a range 
of community activities. These include philanthropic grants 
through The Coca-Cola Australia Foundation and dedicated 
funds contributed from sponsorship and marketing activities 
to support grassroots sports and community development 
initiatives, including in Indigenous communities. We’re also 
always at the ready to provide water, food and other aid to 
people impacted by natural disasters, and to support 
community resilience beyond the immediate aftermath.

In 2019, the combined value of our cash, in-kind and 
volunteering hours, was $5.2 million, which is the equivalent 
of 0.81 per cent of EBIT. This community investment covered 
162 activities, across six countries, and has been verified by 
LBG. Of note, since its establishment in 2002, The Coca-Cola 
Australia Foundation has provided more than $16 million to 
hundreds of charities, positively impacting the lives of many 
young Australians. In Indonesia, our ‘Zone 1’ program, with its 
focus on health, infrastructure and education, supports 
communities living close to our bottling facilities. In 
New Zealand and the Pacific, we support community-focused 
programs, as well as larger events such as the Coca-Cola 
Christmas in the Park in Auckland and Christchurch, and the 
Coca-Cola Games for secondary school athletes in Fiji. We 
also sponsor many smaller grass-roots sporting and 
community programs across Fiji and Samoa.

Finally, we leverage our significant business investment in 
employment, training, ingredient supply, assets and services 
so that we can also provide community and social 
development benefits wherever possible. Notable in this area 
is Grinders Coffee’s over $1.95 million investment in Fairtrade 
community co-operatives over the past decade, and our 
annual $1 million investment in Australian social procurement 
initiatives, including Indigenous procurement.

NEW RECIPE, LESS SUGAR, 
GREAT TASTE

In 2019 Coca-Cola Amatil and The Coca-Cola 
Company introduced a reformulation of one of 
our most important brands, Sprite. Australians 
love the great Sprite taste; however, we also know 
that eating and drinking less sugar is important 
for many people.

To continue to delight our consumers, The Coca-Cola 
Company created a new recipe that not only tastes 
great but supports the wellbeing of consumers.

It’s no small task to create a beverage consumers love 
– the process involved understanding consumer needs,
developing reduced sugar recipes, implementing taste
trials, refreshing the brand, and finally launching the
new recipe.

In September 2019 the new Sprite recipe was launched 
which has 40 per cent less sugar (4.9 grams per 100ml) 
than the Sprite on the market in August 2019 (8.6 
grams per 100 ml). Importantly, the new recipe 
continues to feature the unique lemon-lime taste that 
makes Sprite so popular. 

This Sprite reformulation is one of many across the 
Amatil portfolio and forms part of our ongoing work 
with The Coca-Cola Company to launch reformulated 
products in order to reduce volume average weighted 
sugar content g/100ml by 10 per cent by 2020.

Reducing the sugar in Sprite is just one of the many 
things we are doing to help people make choices that 
are right for them. We’re also reducing sugar in a range 
of other drinks, introducing more smaller pack sizes, 
and launching new, no sugar beverages.

OUR COMMITMENT
Our focus is on those areas where we have the most 
opportunity to make a difference: sustainable packaging, 
water stewardship, energy management, climate protection 
and resilience, and caring for nature.

We have set public environment goals that we aim to achieve 
by the end of 20203. These include:

 — improving water intensity for non-alcoholic beverages to 
no more than 1.95L/L and improving water intensity for 
alcoholic beverages by 25 per cent (compared to 2013)

 — delivering a 25 per cent carbon reduction for the ‘drink in 

your hand’ 

 — ensuring that 60 per cent of our energy requirements come 

from renewable and low-carbon sources

 — developing a business case for 50 per cent recycled plastic 

in PET containers in Australia

 — ensuring 80 per cent of spend with suppliers is covered 

by responsible sourcing assessments.

In Australia, we support the country’s 2025 National 
Packaging Targets; in New Zealand, the Ministry for the 
Environment’s Plastic Packaging Declaration; and in 
Indonesia, the work of the Global Plastics Action Partnership. 

We’re also committed – in partnership with The Coca-Cola 
Company – to replenish 100 per cent of the water in finished 
products and share The Coca-Cola Company’s vision for a 
‘World Without Waste’ which includes an ambition to collect 
and recycle the equivalent of every bottle or can we sell by 
2030. In 2019 The Coca-Cola Company also made a 
worldwide commitment, aligned with the Science Based 
Targets Initiative, to reduce its carbon footprint by 25 per cent 
by 2030, compared to 2015. Coca-Cola Amatil’s emissions fall 
within the scope of this global goal.

OUR APPROACH
While material aspects and priorities have been identified in 
our Coca-Cola Amatil Group-wide Environment Strategy, we 
also ensure that each business sets its own environmental 
objectives and priorities, taking into consideration the needs 
of its operations, partners, communities, people and habitats.

We apply the Precautionary Principle4 to assessing 
environmental risks and opportunities. The Board Risk  
and Sustainability Committee oversees the Group-wide 
Environment Strategy commitments and achievements. 

All environment programs are guided by regulatory 
requirements and relevant company policies including the 
Coca-Cola Amatil Group-wide Environment Policy, Water 
Policy, and Human Rights Policy, both of which confirm our 
commitment to minimising our environmental impacts.  
ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification at site 
level ensures the appropriate environmental management  
and stewardship of resources. 

Environmental performance is monitored via regular  
internal and external audits including audits conducted  
by The Coca-Cola Company to ensure we meet stringent 
quality, safety and environment requirements. 

We also follow our own, and partner, guidelines such as  
The Coca-Cola Company’s Supplier Guiding Principles  
and Coca-Cola Amatil’s Responsible Sourcing Guidelines. 
Environmental sustainability is also included as part of 
supplier sustainability assessments covering most of 
Coca-Cola Amatil’s key suppliers. 

Each year we complete all mandatory external reporting such 
as that required under Australia’s National Greenhouse and 
Energy Reporting Scheme, National Pollutant Inventory and 
the Australian Packaging Covenant, and voluntarily complete 
CDP Climate Change and CDP Water Security questionnaires. 

3  All targets are for calendar year 2020 and from a 2010 baseline unless otherwise specified.
4  Precautionary Principle (2005), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO 
RECYCLING IN FIJI
In 2019, Coca-Cola Amatil Fiji 
launched a new, clear (more 
recyclable) bottle for Sprite  
– a first in the South Pacific,
while also celebrating 20 years
of bottle and can recycling at
Mission Pacific, a bottle buy-back
scheme launched in 1999.

DELIVERING WATER TO THE COMMUNITY  
IN INDONESIA
In the Cimanggung district, where an 
Amatil production facility is located, 
and which has been experiencing 
drought conditions, we supplied clean 
water to more than 200 families. Using 
three dedicated storage tanks, every 
day we returned ~36,000 litres of 
water to the local community.

Sustainable packaging
We are aiming to close the loop on our pack-to-pack recycling, 
and 2019 saw significant progress in this regard, particularly 
in Coca-Cola Amatil’s use of recycled plastic bottles in 
Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. The transition of all single-
serve bottles to 100 per cent rPET (the term used for recycled 
polyethylene terephthalate) in Australia and New Zealand was 
completed in December 2019. By the end of 2019, seven out 
of 10 plastic bottles in Australia were being made from 100 
per cent recycled material, with average recycled content, by 
weight, increasing to 38 per cent from 25 per cent in 2018.  
We expect to achieve over 50 per cent recycled content in  
our plastic bottles in Australia in 2020. In New Zealand, all 
our plastic bottles smaller than one litre and water bottles 
across all sizes are now made from 100 per cent recycled PET. 
In Fiji we are also transitioning some of our bottles to recycled 
plastic. Group-wide we are using 36 per cent recycled 
materials in our packaging. 

We continue to work with governments and stakeholders 
across all our countries of operation on packaging waste 
collection schemes. In Australia we play a pivotal role in 
container deposit and refund schemes. We are a joint venture 
partner in Exchange for Change, the New South Wales Scheme 
Coordinator, and a founding partner in Container Exchange, a 
not-for-profit organisation that manages the Queensland 
scheme. It was established in 2018 and a similar scheme is 
launching in Western Australia in June 2020. In addition, we 
have been operating the South Australian container deposit 
scheme for over 40 years through our wholly owned subsidiary 
Statewide Recycling. 

In Fiji, we’ve operated one of the main plastic bottle and can 
recycling schemes in the country, Mission Pacific, for 20 years 
and in 2019 launched our region’s first Sprite in a clear plastic 
bottle to improve its recyclability.

In New Zealand, Coca-Cola Amatil welcomed the 
Government’s announcement that it was developing a beverage 
Container Return Scheme, while in Apia, Samoa, we’ve 
partnered with members of the Samoan Recycling and Waste 
Management Association to establish a series of public-place 
recycling bins for plastic PET bottles and aluminium cans. 

For over 12 years in Indonesia we have, with partners, been 
organising ongoing daily beach clean-ups across five beaches, 
under the Bali Beach Clean-up program. This program has seen 
over 40,000 tonnes of waste collected and provides regular 
employment and skills training to a team of waste collectors. 
We also continue to use returnable glass bottles for non-
alcoholic beverages in Samoa and in some Indonesian 
locations, as well as for our breweries in Fiji and Samoa.

40,000t

More than 12 years of Bali Beach Clean Up 
has collected over 40,000 tonnes of waste 

In addition to these recycling efforts, we’re also focused on 
removing unnecessary plastic from our packaging and early 
this year we stopped distributing plastic drinking straws  
and stirrers in Australia, and Fiji, replacing them with 
biodegradable paper straws in most countries. 

In Indonesia, we continue to remove plastic from our 
packaging via a light-weighting program for primary, bottles 
and caps, and secondary, multi-pack shrink film and pallet 
wrap, plastic packaging; and since 2014 have decreased use 
of plastic across our PET packaging by 28.5 per cent. 
Indonesia also launched the new ‘Affordable Single Serve 
Pack’ line in East Java, producing lightweight plastic bottles 
coated with a thin layer of glass. The new bottles require 
1,000 tonnes less plastic each year to produce.

To further ‘close the loop’ on our packaging, in 2019 we 
entered into a Heads of Agreement with Veolia Australia and 
New Zealand, to explore opportunities for a recycled plastic 
processing plant in Australia; and in Indonesia, signed a 
Memorandum of Understanding with Dynapack Indonesia for 
a joint venture to explore opportunities to establish a recycled 
PET facility.

Water stewardship
We conduct vulnerability assessments of the water sources 
for all our non-alcoholic bottling plants and have implemented 
management plans to ensure that the sources we use are 
sustainable – not only for our own operations but for the 
communities that also rely on them. These plans are reviewed 
annually and updated every five years in light of the changes 
that may have occurred in our business, the climate, 
community use, and for agricultural users, among other 
stakeholders.

Within our operations we view water as a precious resource 
and manage it accordingly. In 2019 we maintained our 
achievement against our non-alcoholic water usage ratio 
target of 1.95 L/L. We have a 2020 goal for alcoholic 
beverages to reduce the water usage ratio by 25 per cent 
compared to 2013. In 2019 we achieved a reduction of 11.8 per 
cent. Further focus is required to achieve this goal by 2020. 
The total water we used in our manufacturing operations in 
2019 was 6,545 ML, a 4.6 per cent increase compared to the 
prior year, with over 75 per cent of this coming from municipal 
water supplies.

Together with The Coca-Cola Company we also implement 
water replenishment programs in most countries, and in 2019, 
we estimate that we replenished over 9,178 ML, which is  
290 per cent of the water used in our finished products.

Energy management, climate protection and resilience
We are committed to ensuring that we’re playing a role in 
limiting global temperature increases to no more than 
1.5 degrees Celsius.1 We’ve set targets for use of renewable 
and low-carbon energy, which includes natural gas, as well 
as targets for reducing the emissions intensity associated 
with ‘the drink in your hand’.

in renewable energy projects around our region, including  
three on-site solar projects in Australia, at Eastern Creek, 
Richlands and Kewdale, with combined generation capacity 
of 3.5 megawatts, and Indonesia’s largest rooftop solar 
project at Cibitung, with generation capacity of 7.1 megawatts. 
The Cibitung project will offset 8.9 thousand tonnes of carbon 
emissions per annum.

In 2019 we made good progress in these areas, with  
53.3 per cent of the energy used in our operations now being 
renewable or from low-carbon sources. Following the launch 
of our 1.1 megawatt rooftop solar panel installation in Fiji in 
2017, one of the largest in the country, we continue to invest 

In Australia we are using the Large-scale Generation 
Certificates created from these projects to meet the 
mandatory minimum renewable power percentage required 
under the national Renewable Energy Target, and currently 
trading any excess certificates. 

RESPONDING TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Coca-Cola Amatil recognises the importance of disclosing 
climate related risks and opportunities in line with the 
recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related 
Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and will continue to improve 
its assessment, management and disclosure approach in 
line with these recommendations.

Improving our understanding of climate related risks 
and opportunities
The global climate is changing and will continue to in ways 
that affect the planning and day-to-day operations of 
businesses. The manifestations of climate change that have 
the potential to impact Coca-Cola Amatil are two-fold:

 — Physical consequences relating to the physical changes 
to climatic conditions. Chronic changes such as rising 
temperatures, and increased droughts, and acute 
changes such as increased frequency and severity of 
weather events; and

 — Transitional consequences relating to the shift to a 

resilient, low carbon economy through changes in policy, 
regulation, technology, market and reputation associated 
with adaptation to a new climate paradigm and 
decarbonisation of the global economy.

In 2019 Coca-Cola Amatil completed a third-party, primarily 
qualitative, climate change risk and opportunity 
assessment out to 2050. This assessment confirmed that 
climate change effects that have the potential to impact 
Coca-Cola Amatil include changes in weather patterns 
such as increased temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, 
and more frequent or intense extreme events such as 
heatwaves, drought, storms and increased frequency of 

natural disasters. These may cause major business 
disruption, increased energy costs, and key input scarcity 
(such as water, sugar and other agricultural ingredients).

Governance and risk management
In addition to the assessment conducted in 2019,  
climate change risk assessment is integrated into the 
enterprise risk assessment processes and reporting, 
including being part of regular reports to the Risk and 
Sustainability Committee of the Board on business  
risks and controls.

Targets and plans
Coca-Cola Amatil has 2020 targets in place for emissions 
associated with its value chain, as well as use of low-
carbon and renewable energy. Coca-Cola Amatil already 
has management plans in place for most of the identified 
risks including business continuity frameworks which are 
tested regularly to reduce the impact of any major 
disruption. In addition, Coca-Cola Amatil has water 
stewardship and efficiency strategies, energy efficiency 
and renewable energy initiatives and strong supplier review 
processes and relationships. In light of the 2019 
assessment Coca-Cola Amatil is working to improve its 
understanding of its own emissions profile, and that of 
major suppliers, and developing a comprehensive plan to 
address the physical and transition risks identified.

Further climate change disclosure
We provide comprehensive disclosure through our annual 
sustainability reporting, our annual CDP Climate Change 
Response, and our annual CDP Water Response.

In other countries these projects are providing direct 
renewable energy to our sites and reducing our emissions 
accordingly. The long-term power purchase agreement we 
entered into with the Murra Warra Wind Farm in Victoria 
became operational in 2019. 

We also continue to invest in energy efficiency programs in all 
countries. These include rolling out additional sub-metering 
and energy efficient lighting, and considering energy efficient 
equipment in our bottling and packaging manufacturing 
plants. Over time, we are upgrading the fridges used in 
customer premises, to more energy efficient models, as well 
as replacing the refrigerants used with those with lower global 
warming potential.

Thanks to these initiatives and through the use of packaging 
with a lower carbon footprint, such as recycled plastic, we 
estimate that in 20181 our ‘drink in your hand’ emissions were 
16 per cent lower than our 2010 emissions, and we are 
tracking well towards our targeted 25 per cent reduction by 
the end of 2020. 

Responsible Sourcing
In 2019 we screened over 80 per cent of supplier spending 
using responsible sourcing criteria, including environmental 
impacts and management. Also, in Australia, 100 per cent of 
the sugar we use is certified under either Bonsucro or 
Smartcane Best Management Practice, and in Indonesia 
85 per cent of the sugar used is Bonsucro certified.

Caring for nature
Across our six countries of operation we support programs 
that help protect and regenerate natural systems and support 
biodiversity. For over five years we have been planting trees 
and developing education and community programs as part of 
our Coca-Cola Forests program in Lampung, Sumedang, and 
Semarang in Indonesia. In Fiji, we have supported the 
Mamanuca Environment Society in protecting sea turtles 
since 2006, and our people participate in regular volunteering 
days, often with their families, for beach clean-ups and 
mangrove planting.

AUSTRALIA’S FIRST 100 PER CENT 
RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLE FOR 
CARBONATED BEVERAGES

Australia is the first country in the world where all 
Coca-Cola bottles 600ml and under are made from 
100% recycled plastic. This innovation took nine 
years of extensive research, innovation and design, 
and makes recycled plastic the norm with seven 
out of 10 bottles now being made from 100 per cent 
recycled PET across the Amatil portfolio in 
Australia.

While 100 per cent recycled plastic had previously been 
used to bottle still beverages, it had never been 
successfully achieved at scale in carbonated drinks.

The Amatil Futureworks team and Packaging Services 
Division were able to overcome the challenge of using 100 
per cent recycled PET to package carbonated beverages, 
creating smart bottle designs that factor in the unique 
qualities of recycled plastic. This increase in the use of 
recycled plastic reduces the amount of new plastic resin 
used by Amatil by an estimated 10,000 tonnes/year in 
Australia and 2,900 tonnes/year in New Zealand.

“We’ve heard the community message loud and clear –  
that unnecessary packaging is unacceptable, and we need 
to do our part to reduce it,” says Peter West, Managing 
Director Australia. “That’s why we’ve taken this step to 
make recycled plastic the norm. It’s the single largest 
increase in recycled plastic use in our history, and our 
strongest step forward in reducing packaging waste and 
the environmental impact of our operations.”

The roll-out of increased recycled plastic across our range 
has been supported by a major advertising campaign in 
Australia and New Zealand to encourage further recycling.

In 2019 we also began exploring future opportunities for 
recycled plastic processing plants by signing a Heads of 
Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding with 
potential partners in Australia and Indonesia.

1  Following recommendations from a pre-assurance assessment of our 
inputs to the Drink in Your Hand tool, in 2019 we have completely 
aligned with an updated The Coca-Cola Company accounting model 
for calculating our emissions reduction. Results from the global model 
are available in the month of May in the following year. Consequently, 
we are now able to report our performance with a lag of one year in the 
Annual Report. However, an updated result for 2019 emissions will be 
published on our website in mid-2020.

STAKEHOLDERS

Along with creating millions of moments of happiness and 
possibilities, every day we are also focused on creating long- 
term value, both for our Shareholders, and for our society.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND CREATING VALUE
We create value by seeking positive impacts for our people, customers,  
partners, consumers, the environment and our community. 

The first step in creating value for our stakeholders is to understand what’s 
important to them and then respond accordingly. 

At Coca-Cola Amatil, stakeholder engagement is a circular, two-way activity  
that involves constant dialogue; it involves listening and responding, and is  
a major input to our business and sustainability strategy. 

Stakeholder engagement does not happen in isolation. When we think about  
our stakeholders, we think about the society we live in, and how what we do  
as an organisation impacts those around us. The diagram on the right outlines  
who our stakeholders are, how we engage with them, what they care about;  
and importantly, how we respond.

Our stakeholders are those with an interest in our business as well as those  
in areas where we can make the biggest impact. Stakeholders also identify 
themselves to us if they would like us to take action to address issues that  
are important to them and that we are able to influence. 

POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
In 2019 we made no political donations in our countries of operation. In  
New South Wales, the Election Funding, Expenditure and Disclosures Act 1981 
(NSW) prohibits political contributions and the Board has extended this to  
a policy of no political contributions across Australia. Rather, our focus is on 
community partnerships and participation in public policy development.

GROUP  
PERFORMANCE

OVERVIEW
2019 marked the completion of a two-year transition period 
for the Group, with Group trading revenue growth for 
continuing operations of 6.7 per cent for the year reflecting 
the results of strategic initiatives across the Group. 

Statutory Earnings Per Share (EPS) increased 34.3 per cent 
whilst ongoing EPS increased 1.5 per cent. 

Statutory Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) of 
$603.4 million was up 31.9 per cent and statutory Net Profit 
After Tax (NPAT) of $374.4 saw an increase of 34.2 per cent. 
Ongoing EBIT of $639.3 million was up by 0.8 per cent and 
ongoing NPAT of $393.9 million increased by 1.4 per cent. 

In FY19, Amatil achieved a strong ongoing free cash flow 
(before lease accounting changes)1 result with an 
improvement of $70.8 million on the prior year. 

Australian Beverages achieved pleasing progress across 
multiple areas of the business with an improvement in EBIT 
growth trajectory. The business achieved revenue growth 
for the first time in seven years together with volume growth 
for the year. Accelerated revenue and volume growth was 
delivered in 2H19 due to strong progress of the Accelerated 
Australian Growth Plan initiatives including focus on core 
range products, key selling weeks, driving growth in the state 
immediate consumption channel and targeted marketing 
initiatives such as the Share a Coke Campaign. 

The FY19 result included another excellent year from the 
New Zealand and Fiji businesses as strong momentum 
continued from previous years. The New Zealand & Fiji 
segment delivered revenue growth of 7.3 per cent (or 4.7 per 
cent in constant currency) and EBIT growth of 10.1 per cent  
(or 7.7 per cent in constant currency). New Zealand achieved 
revenue, volume and high single digit earnings growth, with 
strong performances in both sparkling and still beverages. 

Fiji delivered revenue and volume growth in both the 
sparkling and stills categories, across all major channels 
despite the impact of challenging economic conditions 
and unstable weather. 

The Indonesia & Papua New Guinea segment delivered 
double-digit revenue and volume growth and strong EBIT 
growth. Indonesia achieved strong revenue and volume 
growth from excellent execution and investments in 
marketing and PNG delivered strong double-digit revenue, 
volume and EBIT growth with the rectification of previous 
operational issues.

Momentum in Alcohol & Coffee continued with another year 
of double-digit EBIT growth at 12.7 per cent (or 12.2 per cent 
in constant currency). Revenue grew 5.1 per cent (4.3 per cent 
in constant currency). 

Our return on capital employed (before lease accounting 
changes) remains strong at 19.5%. Working capital increased 
by $107.1 million from increased receivables arising from 
strong sales performance in December in Australia and 
Indonesia, and increased inventory to support growth in 
PNG and New Zealand. 

Our net debt position reduced to $1,221.7 million. Including 
the impact of the new lease accounting standard, net debt 
increased to $1,751.5. Ongoing EBIT interest cover increased 
from 8.8 times in FY18 to 9.7 times, reflecting increased 
interest income from Indonesia and PNG, partly offset by 
the inclusion of leasing interest in FY19. 

We have declared a final dividend of 26.0 cents per share 
(2H18 26.0 cents per share), unfranked (2H18: 50 per cent 
franked), representing a full-year ongoing payout ratio of 
86.4 per cent (excluding the 4c interim special dividend).

Ongoing free cash flows (before lease accounting changes) increased by $70.8 million from 2018 and was mainly due to:
– Working capital was up due to increased receivables arising from strong sales performance in December in Australia and

Indonesia and increased inventory to support growth in PNG and New Zealand.

– Net finance costs decreased due to reduced interest rates on Australian borrowings and higher interest rates on Indonesia

and PNG deposits.

– Tax payments decreased driven by utilisation of deferred tax assets arising from prior period impairments, now realised as a

result of the sale of the SPC business.

– Capital expenditure decreased due to deferral of capital expenditure on existing projects to 2020.

Ongoing cash realisation (before lease accounting changes) decreased by 7.5 points from 2018 mainly driven by increased 
working capital.

GROUP PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED)

Group capital expenditure was $86.8 million lower than FY18 at $229.4 million. This was lower than had been anticipated due to 
payments for some projects in Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia being deferred to 2020.

In Australian Beverages: Capex included spend predominantly for completion of projects initiated in the prior year i.e. the 
glass bottling line and additional value-added dairy and juice capacity at the Richlands facility in Queensland and an updated 
Transport Management System.

New Zealand & Fiji: Capex included the roll-out of additional cold drink equipment across New Zealand and Fiji and completion 
of the warehouse automation project in Auckland.

Indonesia & Papua New Guinea: Capex included completion of the new affordable single serve packs (‘ASSP’) line in Surabaya, 
a project initiated in the prior year. We also invested in a liquid sugar facility, upgrading our SAP system in Indonesia and 
commenced construction of a new warehouse in Lae.

Corporate & Services: Capex was driven mainly by investment in additional cold drink equipment in Australia, information 
technology initiatives and human resources systems.

The balance sheet remains in a strong position. Net debt (before lease accounting changes) was lower at $1,221.7 million. 
Including the impact of the introduction of the new lease accounting standard, net debt increased to $1,751.5 million. As at 
31 December 2019, the Papua New Guinea business had local currency (Kina) denominated cash assets and funds in held to 
maturity investments of $213.9 million (PGK 508.2 million); 2018: $291.1 million (PGK 692.5 million). This amount has decreased 
by $68.7 million since the peak in June 2018 of $282.6 million reflecting repayments of an intercompany loan and internal 
dividend payments. Presently there are Papua New Guinean government-imposed currency controls which impact the extent 
to which the cash held in Papua New Guinea can be remitted for use elsewhere in the Group.

Ongoing EBIT interest cover increased from 8.8 times in FY18 to 9.7 times, reflecting increased interest income from 
Indonesia and PNG, partly offset by the inclusion of leasing interest in FY19. Excluding the impact of the introduction of the 
new lease accounting standard, EBIT interest cover increased to 12.4 times. 

Total available debt facilities at period end was $2.6 billion. The average maturity is 5.7 years. The maturity profile is as follows:

Ongoing capital employed (before lease accounting changes) decreased by $7.1 million from 2018 driven by:

Committed and uncommitted facilities maturity

– Working capital increased by $107.1 million from increased receivables arising from strong sales performance in December

in Australia and Indonesia, and increased inventory to support growth in PNG and New Zealand.

– Property, plant and equipment decreased by $29.3 million mainly due to a lower than normal level of capex in 2019 and

increased depreciation arising from significant capital expenditure on the Richlands warehouse and affordable single-serve
pack (‘ASSP’) production line in Indonesia in 2018.

– Intangible assets increased by $10.3 million with additions to software largely being offset by amortisation expenses for the year.

– Current and deferred tax liabilities (net) increased by $68.6 million due to deferred tax assets arising from prior period

impairments, now realised as a result of the sale of the SPC business.

– Other assets (net) decreased by $26.4 million resulting mainly from increased employee provisions.

Market overview
The non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverage industry in Australia is 
at a mature stage, increasingly fragmented and evolving rapidly, 
marked by consumers embracing new trends. Current themes 
shaping the industry include:

– consumer demand trends and opportunities: healthier choices,
value, convenience, innovation in packaging and reformulation,
technology, environmental and social sustainability, and growth
in ‘boutique’ brands

– competition: intensified competition between beverage
companies, and development of private label brands by
retailers

– changing trade environment: relationships with retailers, retail
consolidation and growth, stronger non-traditional channels,
technology

– changing regulatory environment: container deposit schemes.

Our route-to-market model
We sell and distribute our products directly to customers through 
a segmented execution strategy that leverages consumer and 
customer insights to get the right portfolio in every outlet. We  
use a range of route-to-market models to maximise profitability 
across brand, pack and channel portfolios. In addition to our 
traditional sales teams, we utilise online selling platforms.  
We offer an efficient and tailor-made delivery service to our 
customers, working with logistics and transport providers. 

Our channel segmentation
We have implemented a more tailored approach to channel 
segmentation to better recognise outlet characteristics and 
drivers. The segmentation process considers several elements 
including the ‘shopper mission’, customer type, consumer type 
and product range, tailoring customer service packages 
accordingly:

– Retail

 Ʌ Grocery

 Ʌ Convenience & Petroleum

– On-The-Go

 Ʌ State Immediate Consumption (state operational accounts,

e.g. Takeaway Foodservice, Bakery, Mixed Business,
Newsagents)

 Ʌ Restaurants & Cafés ‘RECA’ (e.g. mainstream cafés, specialty 

cafés, premium cafés, mainstream restaurants, 
contemporary restaurants and premium restaurants)

 Ʌ National On Premise (e.g. national accounts including 

Foodservice, Entertainment, Services and Accommodation) 

 Ʌ Vending (e.g. Education, Retail and Public Transit vending 

machines) 

 Ʌ Licensed (e.g. on premise, off premise and integrated 

venues).

2019 PERFORMANCE

Overview
Our result demonstrates pleasing progress on our Accelerated 
Australian Growth Plan. Australian Beverages achieved 
revenue growth for the first time in seven years together with 
volume growth for the year.

The business delivered accelerated revenue and volume 
growth in 2H19 due to strong progress of the Accelerated 
Australian Growth Plan initiatives including focus on core 
range products, key selling weeks, driving growth in the state 
immediate consumptions channel and targeted marketing 
initiatives such as the Share a Coke Campaign. As a result, 
the Coca-Cola Trademark delivered volume and revenue 
growth for the year.

The Accelerated Australian Growth Plan required ruthless 
prioritisation of the areas that have the largest impact on the 
business performance. One strategic initiative of the plan  
is the increase of the sales force – ‘Feet On The Street’ – in 
the state immediate consumption channel to substantially 
increase our customer visitation frequency. With an increase 
of approximately 95 people, we virtually doubled the size of 
the sales force serving that channel. 

As a result of this initiative, we have begun to see a volume 
improvement in the state immediate consumption channel 
across Australia which was reflected in our full-year result. 
Other additional benefits of this initiative included volume 
growth of the core range products and of our two largest 
customer segments – Gold and Silver – in the second half.

We achieved volume growth of 0.9 per cent for the year 
despite a decline of 1.0 per cent in Queensland from the 
container deposit scheme. Excluding Queensland, total 
volumes increased by 1.5 per cent.

Trading revenue per unit case was 1.5 per cent higher than 
last year, comprising a 1.7 per cent increase from charges 
related to container deposit schemes, a 0.1 net investment in 
realised price and a 0.1 decrease from product/channel mix.

We have seen an improvement in our EBIT growth trajectory. 
The FY19 EBIT performance includes a $9.6 million benefit 
from the introduction of the AASB16 lease accounting 
standard. Further, we incurred $5.0 million of additional costs 
due to commissioning issues at our Richlands, Queensland 
distribution centre and manufacturing. These issues impacted 
mostly the first half and were resolved by year end.

AUSTRALIAN BEVERAGES (CONTINUED)

Category 
Sparkling beverages and still beverages volumes increased  
by 0.3 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively. 

Enter
Continued to drive targeted distribution of the Mojo and 
Made brands.

Must Win
Total sparkling beverages achieved volume growth, driven by 
the volume increase in the Coca-Cola Trademark due to 
double-digit growth of Coca-Cola No Sugar. This strong 
performance was offset by a slight decline in Classic Coca-
Cola, however volume growth in this variant was achieved in 
the second half. The main contributors to this result were 
strategic growth initiatives such as the Share a Coke 
campaign and targeted execution in the state immediate 
consumption channel. 

It is pleasing to see that the cola market1 grew in value. 
Classic Coca-Cola held value share at 91% while our share in 
Diets/Lights Cola declined due to decreases in Diet Coke 
which was partially offset by gains in Coca-Cola No Sugar.

Underlying volume in water was impacted in FY19 by ceased 
sales of the low value/margin brand Peats Ridge in 
Officeworks in October 2018 (1.1 MUC impact). Excluding this 
impact, water volume would have increased by 0.6 per cent. 

We held value share in the growing water market1 and we are 
pleased with the increased distribution of Mount Franklin in 
the state immediate consumption channel.

Double Down
We have achieved strong volume and value share gains in 
energy due to strong execution and increased ranging with 
the introduction of nine additional SKUs of our Mother and 
Monster brands and launch of Coke Energy. The post launch 
underperformance of Coke Energy was offset by the strong 
performance of Monster. Value-added dairy grew volume and 
achieved value share gains benefitting from the introduction 
of Nutriboost.

Stabilise
Flavours/Adult volume and value share for the year were 
impacted by ongoing changes in pricing and ranging 
strategies by major retailers in the first half. This was partially 
offset by the good performance of Diets/Lights variants which 
achieved volume share gains and grew volume strongly. 

The tea and sports categories grew volume strongly.

We saw an increase in our value share in juice despite the 
continuation of the challenging conditions in FY19.

Channel 
We achieved volume growth in all major channels as we 
continued refining execution of our strategy.

Grocery
In the grocery channel, we grew volume as a result of a 
balanced focus on driving volume during key selling weeks 
and better promotional management throughout the year. This 
was a solid result given the impact of the cessation of the low 
value/margin brand Peats Ridge in Officeworks in October 
2018, representing a reduction of one million unit cases and 
driving the decline of water in grocery. We are pleased with 
the successful rate realisation achieved in key areas – large 
cola multipack cans and in the water category.

Our targeted initiatives across the store and strong execution 
during key selling weeks resulted in value share gains in still 
beverages and in the Coca-Cola No Sugar variant.

Convenience & Petroleum
Good momentum continued with strong volume growth and 
value share gains, driven by the double down strategies being 
implemented in the energy category. We delivered volume 
growth and improved value share in water due to increased 
ranging with key customers.

On-The-Go 
The On-The-Go channel achieved volume growth as we 
continued to focus on the state immediate consumption 
and RECA channels.

We increased volumes in state immediate consumption as a 
result of the additional investment in ‘Feet on the Street’ 
and focus on driving the right range in-store.

There was a strong contribution from RECA due to volume 
momentum continuing from FY18 into FY19 following the 
implementation of clear design principles to ensure channel 
clarity and ownership.

We increased volume in the national on premise channel 
driven by additional volumes from Pizza Hut, McDonalds  
and Hungry Jacks.

The Queensland container refund scheme commenced on

in FY19, whereas National excluding Queensland volumes 
increased by 1.5 per cent. This represents a lower impact  
on volumes in Queensland in FY19 than experienced in  
New South Wales in FY18.

The Western Australia container deposit scheme is expected 
to start in June 2020.

The Tasmania container deposit scheme is anticipated to be 
rolled out by 2022.

We support cost-effective well-run container deposit 
schemes where they exist in Australia.

2020 PRIORITIES & OUTLOOK

Accelerated Australian Growth Plan
In conjunction with The Coca-Cola Company, we are 
continuing to roll out our Accelerated Australian Growth Plan. 
The plan combines future proofing the portfolio with an 
enhanced and effective route-to-market strategy while taking 
a more tailored approach to segmentation. We have identified 
opportunities to sharpen our focus, and to ensure we 
prioritise the areas that have the greatest benefit to the 
business.

The prioritised Accelerated Australian Growth Plan initiatives 
and the investment in our field sales force form the building 
blocks of our plan, with these initiatives underpinned by key 
enablers that will support streamlining of costs and revenue 
growth. From a category perspective:

Applying the same categorisation to our distribution channels:

 – ‘Must Win’ channels are those in which we can make the 
greatest impact on our performance: grocery and state 
immediate consumption. The grocery channel strategy is 
linked to the key activities undertaken in the cola and water 
categories, targeting initiatives across the store, maximising 
key selling weeks, premiumisation and innovation. We 
expect to continue to see improvement in execution in 
grocery where we have brought store merchandising 
services in-house. The state immediate consumption 
channel provides us with significant growth potential by 
leveraging the ‘Feet on the Street’ initiative. The program 
was completed in FY19 and we expect to see an 
acceleration of the benefits in 2020. 

 – ‘Double Down’ channels – RECA and Convenience & 

Petroleum – offer the greatest potential for growth. The 
major focus in Convenience & Petroleum channels is on 
growing our value-added dairy and energy categories. 

 – ‘Stabilise’ channels are those in which growth is expected 
to be limited – national on premise, direct to consumer and 
licensed. We will bring greater focus on alignment and 
understanding of our customers’ priorities in these 
channels. 

 – ‘Enter’ includes online and food aggregators which are an 

area of ongoing focus.

Our Accelerated Australian Growth Plan is supported by  
five ‘enabler’ initiatives:

 – Portfolio simplification and innovation: we have 

identified significant range simplification opportunities in 
each of our channels that will support greater focus on our 
best-selling products. This will also have the benefit of 
enabling our processes and infrastructure to support 
innovation and growth opportunities. We will continue the 
roll out of the Price Quadrant Analysis (PQA) in the state 
immediate consumption channel.

 – Revenue growth management: we will continue the roll out 

of RGM 2.0 and seek new revenue growth opportunities.

 – ‘Must Win’ categories are cola and water where we are 

 – Continuation of the cost optimisation and reinvestment

committed to lead both market and share growth. In cola 
we seek to continue volume momentum as we deliver strong 
in-store activation and brand campaigns. We are focused 
on revitalising Diet Coke through distinctive silver 
packaging and targeted execution. Water represents an 
important strategic category in our portfolio due to its large 
size and strong growth of some subcategories. We expect to 
drive value through the launch of the new Mount Franklin 
Sparkling 10-pack cans and increasing awareness of the 
key sustainability initiatives with Mount Franklin Still 
variants.

 – ‘Double Down’ targets the value-added dairy and energy 
categories. Our strategic approach aims to accelerate 
volume and value growth and increase the market share  
in both categories through best in class execution. In 
value-added dairy we seek to continue to drive growth  
of the recently launched brand Nutriboost. We anticipate 
new product launches in energy and value-added dairy 
categories in FY20. 

 – ‘Stabilise’ categories are flavours, tea, juice, sports and 

adult which play an important role in our portfolio. We will 
continue to undertake very targeted initiatives to stabilise 
flavours through a strong focus on the diets/lights variants.

 – ‘Enter’ captures emerging categories such as kombucha 
and cold pressed juice. We commenced the sales and 
distribution roll out of Mojo kombucha in Australia in 2019. 
In 2020 we will focus on targeted distribution and 
innovation of Mojo as well as precision ranging of the  
Made brands Rokeby Farms and Impressed juice. 

plans: we continue to execute on a range of cost 
optimisation opportunities while reinvesting the cost 
savings. We seek to optimise the performance of our cold 
drink and vending equipment. We expect to see the benefits 
of the normalisation of the Richlands distribution centre in 
2020 while exploring further opportunities.

 – Product packaging and sustainability: we are committed 
to our sugar reduction and packaging targets and we have 
strong plans in place over 2020 to drive these ambitions 
and communicate our achievements with the broader 
community.

 – S&OP: we continue to enhance our sales and operational 
planning processes in 2020 to deploy our strategy and 
support clearer decision making. 

Improving alignment with The Coca-Cola Company 
Over the past several years we have implemented initiatives  
to improve alignment with The Coca-Cola Company. Examples 
of these initiatives include the Accelerated Australian Growth 
Plan and the joint acquisition of a 45 per cent minority 
interest in the Australia-based Made Group. We continue to 
work closely with The Coca-Cola Company to leverage the 
‘Refresh The World. Make A Difference’ strategy in Australia.

The non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverage industry in 
New Zealand is at a mature stage and evolving rapidly, marked 
by consumers embracing new trends. Current themes shaping 
the industry in New Zealand include:

 – consumer demand trends and opportunities: healthier 

choices, value, convenience, innovation in packaging and 
reformulation, technology and environmental and social 
sustainability, growth in ‘boutique’ brands and 
fragmentation of the market

 – increasing competition: between beverage companies and 

development of private label brands by retailers

 – changing trade environment: relationship with retailers, 
retail consolidation and growth, stronger non-traditional 
channels, technology

 – changing regulatory environment: container deposit 

schemes.

The non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverage industry in Fiji is in 
a developing stage, and has grown as consumer demand and 
preferences expand and evolve.

Our route-to-market model 
In New Zealand, we sell and distribute our products directly to 
customers through a segmented execution strategy that 
leverages consumer and customer insights to get the right 
portfolio in every outlet. We use a range of route-to-market 
models to maximise profitability across brand, pack and 
channel portfolios. In addition to our traditional sales teams, 
we also utilise online selling platforms. In Fiji we offer a 
high-touch face-to-face customer service model.

2020 PRIORITIES & OUTLOOK

New Zealand 
We are focused on maintaining our leadership position in 
sparkling and still beverages and improving our relationships 
with our brand partners. We are driving the fundamentals for 
sustainable and profitable growth by ensuring that we offer 
our customers and consumers the world’s leading beverage 
brands across a broad range of categories and formats. We 
will continue adding to our manufacturing and distribution 
capabilities and building our sales and marketing execution 
capability.

Fiji 
We continue to expand our distribution network through the 
roll out of cold drink equipment and increasing the number of 
outlets ranging our products. 

2019 PERFORMANCE

Overview
Our New Zealand & Fiji segment had another strong year with 
increases of 7.3 per cent (or 4.7 per cent in constant currency) 
in revenue and 10.1 per cent (or 7.7 per cent in constant 
currency) in EBIT.

New Zealand 
We continued to see strong momentum in New Zealand in 
2019. The business achieved revenue, volume and high single 
digit earnings growth from the sustained focus on growing  
the outlet base via smaller customers, one of the criteria for 
which it was nominated for The Coca-Cola Company Candler 
Cup competition.

The Coca-Cola Company introduced The Candler Cup 
competition across the Bottling system to recognise the  
‘Best Bottlers in the World’. In 2019 New Zealand was a finalist 
in the Candler Cup competition for the second year running.  
It is the only bottler in the world selected in the top four 
bottlers for two consecutive years.

With a long track record of strong and consistent execution, 
New Zealand delivered strong performances in both sparkling 
and still beverages. We grew revenue and volume in both 
categories supported by increased in-store range and outlet 
expansion.

We performed strongly in still beverages delivering volume 
growth in all categories. We are particularly encouraged by  
the strong volume growth from sports, energy and water. 

We achieved revenue and volume growth and improved 
profitability in all major channels. In grocery, growth was 
driven by a strong promotional calendar and activation 
programs. On-The-Go and licensed grew driven by our 
consistent strategy and execution as well as our strong 
focus on creating value for our customers.

Fiji
In Fiji we delivered revenue and volume growth in both the 
sparkling and still categories, across all major channels 
despite impacts of challenging economic conditions and 
unstable weather. We are pleased to see continued double-
digit EBIT growth as we maintained our focus on driving top 
line growth as well as delivering efficiencies across the 
supply chain.

We delivered revenue growth of 5.1 per cent (or 4.3 per cent

This performance reflects strong momentum supported by  
our robust commercial strategy, best-in-class portfolio of 
brands, cost discipline and synergies with the non-alcoholic 
ready-to-drink business.

Alcohol
In Alcohol, we grew revenue and achieved another year of 
double-digit EBIT growth with the benefit of price realisation 
in the spirits and premix categories.

In Australia, the spirits and premix categories grew strongly. 
Canadian Club continued to be the standout highlight for the 
year, delivering exceptional growth through effective 
marketing, strong sales execution as well as availability and 
popularity of Canadian Club Zero Sugar Dry. We are also 
seeing the benefit of strong innovation with the growing 
popularity of new brands including Koyomi. We achieved value 
share gains in rum, vodka and gin and strong volume growth in 
our gin and vodka categories, led by Roku gin, now the 
number six and fastest growing brand in the total gin 
category3 and Russian Standard vodka. Our premium 
Japanese whisky portfolio continued to deliver growth. 

We worked on our own brands and closely with our partners 
to leverage opportunities across all categories. Highlights 
during the year included:

Spirits and Premix: We launched Jim Beam Black Double 
Serve, a premium pre-mix variant. We saw continued strength 
of Maker’s Mark in premium bourbon, capitalising on 
premiumisation trend and supported by a clear and 
compelling drinks strategy.

Beer, Bitters and Cider: We faced strong competitive 
pressures in some segments of the beer market, impacting our 
overall performance in the beer category. Some highlights for 
the year included: the national roll out of Feral Biggie Juice, 
recently voted number seven most popular Australian Craft 
beer in the GABS Hottest 100 beers of 2019. We continued 
benefitting from the Coors relationship with the National 
Basketball Association and its sport-led marketing 
campaigns. We launched a strong national campaign for Miller 
Genuine Draft cementing its music credentials, supported by 
extensive marketing and customer experience events. The 
launch of Rekorderlig Blush Rose was part of our innovation 
plans for cider. 

3  Source: IRI. AU Liquor Dollar Sales 26 weeks to 12/01/2020. 

Paradise Beverages: There was an adverse impact from the 
challenging trading conditions in Samoa driven by strong 
competition in beer and the measles outbreak in the last 
quarter of the year. The investment in our Fiji business 
included a new bottle filler in the brewery and a new 
packaging line at the distillery. We also rebuilt our office 
facilities at the Fiji brewery, following a fire in late 2017.

Coffee
Grinders Coffee achieved strong growth in the grocery 
channel in the bean, capsule and ground segments. National 
accounts volumes grew strongly in the second half, due to 
continued focus on in-market execution. 

2020 PRIORITIES & OUTLOOK
We expect to continue achieving growth in each of our 
operating geographies. 

Spirits and Premix: Our partnership with Beam Suntory 
across Australia and New Zealand continues to deliver new 
growth opportunities. We have a category leadership position 
in bourbon as well as in new age whiskey and are working  
with Beam Suntory to bring innovation to the market.

Beer, Bitters and Cider: We continue to focus on growing  
our craft portfolio led by Feral and working closely with  
our partners to take advantage of significant opportunities 
across categories where we can leverage our distribution  
and footprint. 

Paradise Beverages: We will continue to focus on innovation 
and new product development, taking advantage of the 
increased capability and capacity generated by our capital 
investment program. 

Coffee: We continue developing the Grinders master brand 
across our bean, ground and capsule products, expanding  
our retail and cafe presence in Australia. 

Market overview 
Our premium alcohol portfolio includes a mix of established 
and high-potential emerging brands that we either own or sell 
and distribute in conjunction with global brand partners such 
as Beam Suntory and Molson Coors International. 

Our premium spirits portfolio includes Jim Beam Bourbon – 
Australia’s largest spirits and ready-to-drink brand – and 
emerging brands such as Canadian Club whiskey, now the 
fourth-largest brand by volume in the Australian market. 

In beer and cider our success has been driven by premium 
beer brands Coors, Blue Moon and Miller. In 2017 we brought 
Feral Brewing into our portfolio and have established Yenda 
as a quality craft beer in the Australian market.

In Fiji and Samoa, our Paradise Beverages Business produces 
market-leading beers such as Fiji Gold, Fiji Bitter, Vonu 
Premium Lager, and Vailima; Paradise Beverages also 
produces premium spirits, including the highly acclaimed 
Rum Co. of Fiji range, for the local and export markets.

We are also a key player within the hot beverages market. 
Grinders Coffee was established in 1962 in Melbourne and 
acquired by Coca-Cola Amatil in 2005. Today it is one of 
Australia’s premier coffee companies, combining innovation 
with heritage to deliver award-winning results. 

Alcohol & Coffee employs around 800 people across the 
region, predominantly at our operations including Paradise 
Beverages breweries in Suva, Fiji and Apia, Samoa, and 
Paradise Beverages distillery in Lautoka, Fiji, the Grinders 
roastery in Fairfield, Victoria, Feral Brewing Company in 
Western Australia, and in state-based teams across Australia.

On 9 September 2019 we announced changes to the Alcohol 
& Coffee organisational structure and senior accountabilities 
to further integrate beverage categories across each country 
of operation. 

As a result of these changes all Alcohol & Coffee categories 
will be managed in line with geographic responsibilities. As 
such, the Australian based Alcohol & Coffee portfolios will 
join the Australian Beverages team under the leadership of 
Peter West; Alcohol and Coffee in New Zealand, Paradise 
Beverages in Fiji and Samoa, and the international alcohol 
sales team, will join the New Zealand and Fiji businesses 
under the leadership of Chris Litchfield; and the Coffee 
portfolio in Indonesia will form part of the Indonesian 
business under the leadership of Kadir Gunduz. Amatil’s 
segment financial reporting will be adjusted to reflect these 
changes in responsibilities commencing in first half 
2020 reporting. 

These changes will improve our customer alignment and build 
on the existing integration in parts of the business including 
shared operations and sales teams in Australia and the 
structure in New Zealand.

OUR BUSINESS

Our Indonesia & Papua New Guinea Businesses 
prepare, sell, distribute and market non-alcoholic 
ready-to-drink products to hundreds of thousands of 
modern and traditional trade outlets across the two 
regions. In addition to the iconic Coca-Cola family 
of products, our portfolio includes Sprite, Fanta, 
Nutriboost and Minute Maid. In each country we also 
produce locally-loved brands including Frestea and 
Ades in Indonesia and BU in Papua New Guinea. 

In Indonesia we operate eight manufacturing 
facilities in Cibitung, Cikedokan, Bandung, Medan, 
Lampung, Semarang, Surabaya and Bali. We 
employ a total workforce of around 6,000 full-time 
employees and around 3,000 contractors, and 
distribute over 1.2 billion litres of refreshing drinks 
to outlets across the nation. We directly serve 
approximately 500,000 customers and indirectly 
distribute to approximately 1.5 million customers1. 

Coca-Cola Amatil and The Coca-Cola Company jointly  
own the Coca-Cola bottling operations in Indonesia  
(‘PT Coca-Cola Bottling Indonesia’ or ‘CCBI’), 70.6 per cent 
and 29.4 per cent respectively. 

Our Papua New Guinea Business employs more than 
700 people and generates employment for workers in related 
industries such as transport, sea freight, raw material supply, 
consumables, machinery and equipment services. Our range 
of products is offered through a network of approximately 
13,000 customers in various formats and spread around 
the 22 provinces of the country.

Market overview
The non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverage industry in 
Indonesia offers considerable prospects for growth and we 
believe it will become a growth engine for Coca-Cola Amatil. 
Our vision for the region is underpinned by the country’s 
significant long-term growth potential and favourable 
demographics. Current themes shaping the industry in 
Indonesia include:

 – strong growth potential: Indonesia is forecast to be the 
world’s fourth-largest economy by 2050; nominal gross 
domestic product per capita has increased 12 per cent per 
annum since 2005; and the economy is expected to be 
strong and relatively stable

 – demographics: a young population

 – growing affluence: there is a growing middle class personal 
consumption has grown 12 per cent per annum since 2005

 – increasing competition: market is fragmented with many 
players, many of whom are single-category focused with 
additional minor but growing plays in other categories

 – consumer spending: short-term challenges with subdued 
consumer spending in food and commercial beverages. 

The non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverage industry in 
Papua New Guinea is in a developing stage and has grown as 
consumer demand and preferences expand and evolve.

Our route-to-market model 
In Indonesia, we follow a two-fold distribution strategy that 
has generated significant improvements in effectiveness and 
efficiency in our route-to-market execution. In addition to our 
own distribution network, we have established a network of 
Coca-Cola Official Distributors across Indonesia. These 
distributors offer better capability to execute the ‘last mile’ 
delivery significantly increasing our customer reach while 
allowing us to maintain the relationships with our customers 
securing one of our strongest competitive advantages. We 
also have a large local sales team, segmented into the 
different market channels. 

In Papua New Guinea, we have made significant progress on 
our route-to-market strategy as we build a distributor model, 
utilising managed third-party partners, in addition to 
expanding our own distribution network. A dedicated sales 
team and activation strategy has been put in place to manage 
our modern trade and key accounts.

2019 PERFORMANCE
In Indonesia & Papua New Guinea we delivered double-digit 
revenue and volume growth and strong EBIT growth.

Indonesia
We are pleased with the improvement achieved by the 
business which includes high single digit volume and revenue 
growth at a time when soft market conditions persisted and 
the overall non-alcoholic ready-to-drink market was flat. 
Overall achieved volume share gains in non-alcoholic ready-
to-drink with sparkling up 3.3 percentage points. Our EBIT 
result reflected additional marketing spend with The Coca-
Cola Company. 

Gross domestic product growth has been relatively stable 
over the last four years, however, these levels are not 
translating into similar growth levels in the FMCG sector 
generally or in the non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverage 
market specifically. Discretionary consumer spending on 
non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages has been constrained 
by changes in spending priorities (e.g. smartphones, 
entertainment and travel).

Against a backdrop of soft market conditions, we have 
focused on consistent execution of our commercial plans, 
which has resulted in continued momentum in the business 
evidenced by the consecutive volume growth achieved in  
each of the last seven quarters.

This continued growth demonstrates the resilience of the 
business as well as the success of the strategic initiatives of 
the Accelerate to Transform plan including improved product 
availability, increased affordability, building brand strength 
and channel relevance.

INDONESIA & PAPUA NEW GUINEA (CONTINUED)

CORPORATE  
& SERVICES 

We have seen double-digit volume and revenue growth as well 
as transaction growth ahead of volume growth in our sparkling 
brands. Development of our key recruitment and frequency 
PET packs in the sparkling category has been particularly 
pleasing. Both the 250ml ASSP (affordable single-serve pack) 
and the 390ml packs delivered double-digit volume growth 
with an additional 100,000 outlets distributing at least one of 
these key packs. This follows the renewed focus on driving 
relevance of the sparkling category which demonstrates that 
our sparkling brands are clearly resonating with Indonesian 
consumers. There were clear benefits from the innovation 
introduced to the market in 2019, including recruitment of 
new consumers, target of more occasions and generation of 
incremental volume through the expansion of the Fanta 
portfolio and the introduction of Sprite Waterlymon, a product 
that plays in the near-water space with less carbonation and 
less sugar than classic Sprite. Additionally, growth in 
sparkling was supported by successful targeted brand 
campaigns undertaken following a significant review in 
conjunction with The Coca-Cola Company of Indonesian 
consumer trends. Some of the initiatives driving the category 
and strengthening the sparkling portfolio included:

 – Coca-Cola: Participation in music festivals and football 
competitions helped to add excitement to the brand, 
leveraging The Coca-Cola Company sponsorship of the 
English Premier League 

 – Sprite: Continued the successful ‘No Bokis’ campaign and 
promoted Sprite Waterlymon through TV commercials and 
digital media placement to increase consumer awareness 
for the product

 – Fanta: Targeted TV commercials to recruit new drinkers  

and link Fanta to the popular snacking occasion

 – recruit new drinkers through increased penetration of  

the small affordable packs. 

Water and value-added dairy were the main contributors to 
volume growth in still beverages. We are pleased with the 
value share gains achieved in both categories supported by 
innovation in Nutriboost with expanded pack sizes and the 
addition of new flavours – Coffee and Chocolate. The tea  
and juice performance was disappointing with volume and 
share declines.

The modern trade channel delivered volume and revenue 
growth while the Traditional Trade had a strong performance 
with all regions achieving volume and revenue growth, 
benefitting from our route-to-market model transformation 
and targeted customer value proposition.

Strong efficiency gains were delivered in manufacturing and 
administrative functions. We continue to invest in the 
capabilities of our people through our training academy model 
as well as through our bespoke leadership training programs. 
As a result of delivering on many of the elements of our 
transformation strategy, the business remains highly 
leveraged to deliver significant earnings improvements with 
higher levels of growth in the non-alcoholic ready-to-drink 
market in the future. 

Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea continued the strong momentum from the 
first half. The business achieved double-digit volume, revenue 
and EBIT growth for the year driven by strong demand for 
sparkling beverages and benefitting from normalised 
operational conditions following the rectification of the 
operational challenges experienced in FY18. 

2020 PRIORITIES & OUTLOOK

Indonesia
We are committed to our Accelerate to Transform strategy and 
cognisant of the challenges posed by the current market 
conditions. In conjunction with The Coca-Cola Company we 
undertook an extensive review in FY18 to further extend our 
consumer insights. Drawing on these insights, we will 
continue setting and executing our plans to repurpose our 
portfolio to adapt to the challenging operating environment. 

Accelerating growth in all our sparkling brands will continue 
to be a priority for us in 2020 by driving sparkling relevance 
and availability and broadening the occasions in which our 
sparkling brands are consumed.

Another priority for us is continuing to build a locally relevant 
stills business by gaining share in value-added dairy and tea 
through strong execution and innovation. We are focused on 
stabilising our juice business through a more consistent 
approach to marketing, launching of a new pack with new 
flavours and a stronger commercial proposition. We seek to 
maintain our position in water and isotonic while taking 
advantage of any opportunities that arise.

Papua New Guinea 
We are focused on strengthening our presence in sparkling 
through our core brands and accelerating growth in energy 
though the BU brand; developing our still portfolio by 
increasing penetration and distribution of our still brands;  
and optimising revenue opportunities through pack price 
architecture. The business will continue to expand its 
distribution network and seek productivity and efficiency 
improvements in manufacturing and logistics. Benefits are 
expected from supply chain investments and from a 
continued expansion of the beverages footprint.

Our Corporate & Services segment includes a variety 
of activities, including the Group corporate office 
functions and ancillary services such as property  
and equipment servicing.

Property
Since 2017, Amatil’s Property Division has taken a Group-wide 
approach to asset management of owned and leased 
properties, leading to the sale of sites and facilities that  
were surplus to requirements, as well as the 2017 sale and 
leaseback of the company’s flagship Richlands site. 

The division has also rolled out a new property management 
system to provide increased controls and insights across the 
portfolio; commenced a review of the property footprint to 
develop long-term plans for all manufacturing sites; and 
overhauled facilities management processes.

2019 PERFORMANCE
In Corporate & Services, we recorded an EBIT loss of 
$13.6 million. The main contributors for this result were: lower 
earnings for our services division driven by lower services 
requirement to Australian Beverages; lower earnings for our 
property division due to reduced rental fees from Australian 
Beverages; and investments in Group capabilities and 
IT platforms. 

SPC
In August 2018 we announced the commencement of a 
strategic review of growth options for SPC, which coincided 
with the completion of a four-year, $100 million co-investment 
in conjunction with the Victorian Government.

In November 2018 the review was concluded, and it was 
announced that the best way to unlock these opportunities 
is through divestment. 

At the beginning of June 2019, it was announced that the 
business had been sold to Shepparton Partners Collective  
Pty Ltd. On 1 July 2019 we announced the successful 
completion of the transaction. The business was sold for  
a total consideration of $49.6 million, resulting in a gain  
from disposal of $13.8 million (after tax). 

The sale agreement also includes a four-year deferred 
payment which, subject to business performance, could  
result in up to an additional $15 million of sale consideration 
at that time.

The sale of the SPC fruit and vegetable processing business 
was completed on 28 June 2019.

From a financial reporting perspective, SPC’s results and 
assets and liabilities were classified as a discontinued 
operation in the income statement and as held for sale  
on the balance sheet (for 2018) respectively.

SUSTAINABILITY 
STRATEGY 

Coca-Cola Amatil is committed to making a distinct and 
positive contribution to the world in which we live. This means 
that with each decision we seek to deliver the best outcomes 
for our people, consumer choice and wellbeing, the 
environment, and our communities, as well as our 
Shareholders.

Coca-Cola Amatil’s sustainability focus is on our people, 
wellbeing, environment, and our community. In 2017 Coca-
Cola Amatil conducted a strategic review of each of our 
priority focus areas and developed a set of strategies and 
public goals to achieve by the end of 2020.

These 2020 goals are aligned with, and embedded in, our 
broader business strategies to deliver long-term sustainable 
business value. The goals have also been developed 
considering the expectations of all key stakeholders – our 
people, our partners, our communities, our customers and  
our investors – and focusing on those areas that are the  
most material and where we can make the most difference.

In 2018, we reviewed our sustainability priorities, by 
conducting a materiality assessment with internal and 
external stakeholders. This review confirmed that we are 
focused on areas of most importance where we can have  
the greatest impact, and we noted increased stakeholder 
concerns regarding sustainable packaging, consumer 
wellbeing, climate change and human rights and will continue 
to prioritise these areas. Our materiality matrix diagram shows 
the outcome of this assessment.

We also remain committed to an enhanced approach to 
sustainability reporting with more data and analysis on the 
sustainability performance of all our businesses referencing 
the Global Reporting Initiative framework, LBG (formerly  
‘The London Benchmarking Group’) community investment 
guidelines and Sustainable Development Goals. Coca-Cola 
Amatil has also embarked on an assurance program to meet  
full verification and assurance of report data by 2020.

An overview of our 2020 commitments is overleaf, and our 
governance and strategic approach is provided below.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF 
SUSTAINABILITY
From the Board to the Group Leadership Team, Group 
functions to the businesses, at Coca-Cola Amatil we are 
committed to continual improvement and acting responsibly 
to support a better future for all our stakeholders.

The Coca-Cola Amatil Board is committed to achieving the 
highest standards of corporate governance and business 
conduct. The Board sees this commitment as fundamental  
to the sustainability and performance of our business and  
to enhancing shareholder value.

The Risk and Sustainability Committee of the Board reviews 
the effectiveness of Coca-Cola Amatil’s controls and 
strategies to manage our non-financial and operational risks 
and compliance matters by:

 – reviewing and monitoring compliance with our legal and 
regulatory responsibilities, internal policies and industry 
standards on operational matters

 – approving policies and standards that reflect our reputation

 – reviewing and monitoring social issues that could impact 

our reputation

 – reviewing Coca-Cola Amatil’s non-financial and operational 

risks and controls.

Management decisions in relation to sustainability are made 
by the Group Managing Director, Group Leadership Team and 
individual members of management who have direct authority. 
Across the Group functions and within each business, our 
health and safety, supply chain, environment, people and 
culture, procurement, and public affairs, communications  
and sustainability teams are responsible for the day-to-day 
implementation, management, monitoring and reporting of 
specific initiatives.

Within our long-term value creation proposition, our approach 
to sustainability and value to society is now integrated with 
value to Shareholders. This means that as we pursue growth, 
we do so through the lens of seeking positive impacts for our 
people, consumer wellbeing, customers, brand partners, the 
environment and our community. Our sustainability focus 
areas are based on materiality to long-term business 
sustainability.

ENGAGED PEOPLE
Coca-Cola Amatil provides a safe, open, diverse and inclusive 
workplace where our people are energised by, and committed 
to, human rights and their safety and wellbeing at work.

For Coca-Cola Amatil, a safe workplace is the result of both 
our ‘safety first’ culture and a clearly defined set of 
requirements for all employees. Coca-Cola Amatil strives  
to achieve and maintain a zero-harm workplace where safety 
is everyone’s responsibility and each individual is held to 
account. The Group’s Health, Safety & Wellbeing Policy 
requires all employees, suppliers, contractors and visitors  
to operate to the highest standards.

Human rights is relevant to all of our people across all of our 
countries of operation and is an important consideration for 
Amatil today and tomorrow.

COMMITTED PARTNERS
Coca-Cola Amatil’s Responsible Sourcing Guidelines together 
with The Coca-Cola Company’s Supplier Guiding Principles 
provide our suppliers with the standards and procedures we 
expect our partners to adhere to in order to meet our 
sustainability objectives for engaged people, a better 
environment and delighted consumers.

We have a 2020 sustainability goal to ensure 80 per cent  
of suppliers, by share of spend, are covered by responsible 
sourcing agreements.

DELIGHTED CONSUMERS

Consumer wellbeing
The wellbeing of our consumers – physical, mental and social 
– is at the heart of our vision to delight millions of consumers 
every day. We are open and responsive to changing consumer 
tastes and preferences and aligned with global health 
guidelines and Sustainable Development Goals.

We focus on choice through reformulation and new product 
introductions, with a target to reduce sugar in our portfolio  
in Australia and New Zealand. We will measure the sugar  
grams per 100ml of our non-alcoholic beverages portfolio  
in all countries of operation and reduce total sugar grams  
per 100ml by 10 per cent in Australia and New Zealand  
(vs 2015 sugar grams per 100ml) and have the nutrition and 
responsible consumption information that our consumers want, 
conveniently available. By the end of 2019 we reduced our 
sugar grams per 100ml in Australia by 8.8 per cent compared  
to the 2015 baseline and are on track to achieve the 2020 goal 
with a strong reformulation program in 2019. In New Zealand 
we reduced sugar grams per 100ml by 5.3 per cent.

We also are committed to consumer education, responsible 
marketing, and promotion of consumer awareness of the 
impact of their choices on health and wellbeing.

Our community
We make a unique, sustained, and valued collective impact  
on the communities in which we operate. Our contribution in 
Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Fiji 
and Samoa delivers outcomes in partnership with local 
communities to ensure they are relevant to local development 
needs and circumstances. We embrace the philosophy of 
Gotong Royong, or community cooperation, and we will aspire 
to contribute the equivalent of one per cent of EBIT and track 
the impact of this investment annually and over time.

SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY (CONTINUED)

Our community (continued)
Our contribution includes:

– Significant philanthropic grants through the Coca-Cola
Australia Foundation and the Coca-Cola Indonesia
Foundation as well as the contribution of dedicated funds
from sponsorship and marketing activities to support
grassroots sports and community development initiatives.

– Since establishment in 2002, the Coca-Cola Australia

Foundation has provided more than $16 million to hundreds
of charities, positively impacting many young Australians.

– Creating a culture that supports employee volunteering,
including professional pro-bono services, employee
fundraising and matched workplace giving.

– Being ready to lend a hand with provision of water, food
and other aid to people impacted by natural disasters
and to support community resilience beyond the
immediate aftermath.

– Ensuring we leverage our significant business investment
in employment, training, ingredient supply, assets and
services so that we can also provide community and
social development benefits wherever possible.

Coca-Cola Amatil’s annual sustainability reports are 
available on our website www.ccamatil.com.

BETTER ENVIRONMENT
We aim to leave a positive legacy and ensure minimal impact 
on the environment. We work responsibly in all we do, seeking 
to make the right choices now, in a sustainable way, for future 
generations.

Our commitment is focused where we have the most 
opportunity to make a difference: sustainable packaging; 
water stewardship; energy management and climate 
protection; biodiversity; and responsible sourcing.

By 2020, we will continue to drive water neutrality for 
non-alcoholic beverages; target a 25 per cent improvement in 
water efficiency for alcoholic beverages and food categories; 
deliver a 25 per cent carbon reduction for the ‘drink in your 
hand’; ensure that 60 per cent of our energy requirements 
come from renewable and low-carbon sources; and we aspire 
to packaging neutrality with business case development for 
50 per cent recycled PET in our Australian portfolio.

To achieve this vision, we work closely with partners and 
environmental experts so that we can understand and 
mitigate our impact and be proactive in implementing 
solutions. We have taken a leadership role in working with 
governments and stakeholders across Australia on container 
deposit and refund schemes, including as a joint venture 
partner in Exchange for Change, the New South Wales 
Scheme Coordinator, and a founding partner in Container 
Exchange, a not-for-profit organisation that is the Product 
Responsibility Organisation that has established and now 
manages the Queensland container refund scheme which 
commenced in 2018 and is implementing the container refund 
scheme in Western Australia, which will commence in June 
2020. In addition, we have run the South Australian container 
deposit scheme for over 40 years through our wholly owned 
subsidiary Statewide Recycling.

We also welcome and support The Coca-Cola Company’s 
‘World Without Waste’ global packaging strategy that has an 
industry-first goal of collecting and recycling the equivalent of 
every bottle or can it sells globally by 2030. In line with this 
commitment Coca-Cola Amatil approved the business case 
for 50 per cent recycled plastic in its Australian portfolio. The 
transition of all single-serve bottles to 100 per cent rPET in 
Australia and New Zealand was completed in December 2019. 
By the end of 2019, seven out of 10 plastic bottles in Australia 
were being made from 100 per cent recycled materials. In  
New Zealand, all our plastic bottles smaller than one litre and 
all water bottles across all sizes are now made from 100 per 
cent recycled PET.

OUR 2020 GOALS & 2019 PROGRESS

In 2017, we conducted a strategic review of our priority 
sustainability issues and opportunities and developed a set  
of strategies and public goals to achieve by the end of 2020. 
These were first published in our 2017 Operating and Financial 
Review and our 2017 Sustainability Report, both of which were 
released in early 2018.

These 2020 goals are aligned with, and embedded in, our 
broader business strategies to deliver long-term sustainable 
business value. In developing them, consideration was given to 
the expectations of all key stakeholders – our people, our 
partners, our communities, our customers, our consumers and 
our investors – and focus was placed on those areas that are 
most material to our business, where we can make the most 
difference and where we can deliver long-term value to both 
society and Shareholders.

In 2019 we continued to make good progress towards achieving 
these goals, and in some cases have already achieved the 2020 

target. We note that for a few of the goals the 2019 divestment 
of our SPC business means changed baselines and scope.

We remain committed to an enhanced approach to 
sustainability reporting with more data and analysis on the 
sustainability performance of all our businesses referencing 
the Global Reporting Initiative framework and the LBG  
(formerly ‘The London Benchmarking Group’) community 
investment guidelines.

Coca-Cola Amatil has also begun an assurance program to 
meet full verification and assurance of 2020 Sustainability Goal 
progress by 2020 with metrics against five of our 10 targets 
undergoing and receiving limited assurance from external 
auditors for selected metrics. As in previous years, our 
community investment data is verified by LBG (London 
Benchmarking Group).

In 2020 we are finalising our strategies and ambitions beyond 2020 
and look forward to publishing these in next year’s Annual Report.

Our 2020 Goals 
By the end of 2020 we aim to:

Supplier spend data is for Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia only. The proportion of supplier screening is measured based on the value of spend with 
suppliers who have been subject to one of Amatil’s screening tools, compared to total supplier spend for the calendar year. Amatil applies different 
screening tools according to the level of spend, sector, and location of each supplier. 
Total injuries include lost-time injuries, restricted work injuries and medical treatment injuries for employees only.
We define our senior executive as anyone reporting to the CEO or Group Leadership Team. Management positions are defined as anyone with a direct 
report. All figures exclude contractors and outsourced resources. 

4  Sugar measurement is portfolio-wide weighted volume average total sugar content grams per 100ml. Baseline is MAT 31 December 2015.
5  Following recommendations from a pre-assurance assessment of our inputs to the Drink in Your Hand tool, in 2019 we have completely aligned with an 

updated The Coca-Cola Company accounting model for calculating our emissions reduction. Results from the global model are available in the 
month of May in the following year. Consequently, we are now able to report our performance with a lag of one year in the Annual Report.  
However, an updated result for 2019 emissions will published on our website in mid-2020.

CORPORATE 
GOVERNANCE 

Coca-Cola Amatil’s approach to corporate governance goes 
beyond compliance. Both the Board and all levels of 
Management are fully committed to achieving the highest 
standards of corporate governance and business conduct. 
Indeed, we see this commitment as fundamental to our  
vision of creating millions of moments of happiness and 
possibilities every day.

Corporate Governance Statement
Under ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3, Coca-Cola Amatil is required 
to benchmark its corporate governance practices against the 
ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance 
Principles and Recommendations, 3rd edition (ASX 
Governance Recommendations).

We confirm that we have complied with all the ASX 
Governance Recommendations for the period 1 January 2019 
to 31 December 2019 (FY2019), as outlined in our 2019 
Corporate Governance Statement and Appendix 4G, which 
can be found at www.ccamatil.com/our-company/corporate-
governance/.

The Corporate Governance Statement, together with its 
accompanying Appendix 4G, has been approved by the  
Board and lodged with the ASX. 

Coca-Cola  Amatil’s  Corporate  Governance  Framework 
The  diagram  on  page  63  illustrates  our  corporate  governance 
framework.

The Board and Its Role

The Board represents and serves the interests of Coca-Cola 
Amatil’s Shareholders and is ultimately responsible for 
managing our business and affairs to the highest standards  
of corporate governance and business conduct. The Board 
also strives to protect and optimise Coca-Cola Amatil’s 
performance and build sustainable value for all stakeholders, 
according to its duties and obligations and within a framework 
of prudent and effective controls that enable risks to be 
assessed and managed.

The Board’s role and responsibilities, including those of its 
Committees, are set out in our Board Charter, which can be 
found at www.ccamatil.com/our-company/corporate-
governance/.

Structure and Composition of the Board
Current Board members include an Executive Director  
(i.e. the Group Managing Director), two Non-Executive 
Directors (i.e. The Coca-Cola Company Nominee Directors) 
and five Independent Non-Executive Directors. Details of their 
qualifications and experience are set out on page 64.

The Nominations Committee ensures the Board comprises 
Directors who have the skills, experience, knowledge and 
diversity needed to support our strategic objectives and  
fulfil our legal and regulatory requirements. 

62

The Board Skills Matrix (Skills Matrix) is an important tool in 
this process and sets out the key skills and experience that 
the Board looks for, together with the details of what each 
Director brings to the Board. Each year, this Skills Matrix is 
reviewed and amended as appropriate. Each Director then 
undertakes a self-assessment against it to identify their skill 
level against each required skill. These self-assessments are 
consolidated and reviewed by the Board. The Board then 
determines its position on each Director’s self-assessment 
and identifies (a) any skill gaps or opportunities to be targeted 
in future Board appointments and (b) professional 
development initiatives for Directors.

The result of the FY2019 Skills Matrix review and assessment 
process is set out in the Corporate Governance Statement.

Performance Evaluation Process
The performance evaluation process for the Board, its 
Committees, individual Directors and KMPs is set out in the 
Corporate Governance Statement. Given their different roles 
and responsibilities, Directors’ remuneration policies and 
practices differ from those that apply to the Group Managing 
Director and KMPs. 

Board Committees
The Board has five standing Board Committees to help 
discharge its responsibilities. These are the:

– Audit and Finance Committee;

– Nominations Committee;

– People Committee;

– Risk and Sustainability Committee; and

– Related Party Committee.

These Committees operate principally in a review or advisory 
capacity, except in cases where the Board specifically confers 
powers on a Committee. Each Committee has a charter, 
detailing its purpose, responsibilities and membership 
criteria.

Diversity and Inclusion
At Coca-Cola Amatil, we believe that the diversity of our 
business, markets, customers and people is a critical factor 
for our growth and ongoing success. Our strategy is built on 
the foundation of a strong organisation – and one where we 
celebrate the possibilities created by a vibrant, diverse and 
inclusive workforce. 

This broad approach allows us to build a team of people with 
different backgrounds, opinions and experiences who bring 
their differences to work every day. Our Diversity and 
Inclusion strategy and principles aim to support our diversity 
and scale, ensure our people feel engaged and valued, and 
deliver business outcomes.

Risk Framework
The Board is responsible for ensuring that there are adequate 
systems and procedures in place to identify, assess, monitor 
and manage risks. During the year, the Risk and Sustainability 
Committee reviews reports by Management (and independent 
advisers) and, where appropriate, makes recommendations as 
to how the Board should respond to the material risks that 
Coca-Cola Amatil faces in the markets in which it operates. 
Other Committees (such as the Related Party Committee, the 
Audit and Finance Committee and the People Committee) 
review risk matters in more detail as required by their 
respective Charters.

The internal and external audit functions are separate and 
independent of each other. They provide an independent and 
objective review of the way in which the Group assesses and 
manages risk. To preserve this independence, the General 
Manager – Risk, who is the head of the internal audit function, 
has a direct reporting line to the Chairman of the Audit and 
Finance Committee.

The Board’s Risk Management Policy formalises the Group’s 
approach to the oversight and management of material 
business risks. The policy is implemented through a top-down 
and bottom-up approach to identify, assess, monitor and 
manage key risks across our business units. The principles we 
use for assessing risk and the effectiveness of controls are 
based on the International Standard ISO 31000:2018 Risk 
Management – Principles and guidelines.

The Risk and Sustainability Committee reviews our enterprise 
risk management framework at least annually. It conducted a 
risk, governance and culture deep dive review during FY2019, 
and was satisfied with the soundness and effectiveness of 
our risk management framework.

Coca-Cola Amatil Policies and Practices
The Coca-Cola Amatil Code of Conduct – ‘How We Do 
Business’ (Our Code of Conduct) was updated by the Board  
in 2017. It sets out the way in which our Directors, employees, 
contractors, consultants and third parties are required to 
conduct themselves every day. The document articulates our 
high standards of business conduct, built on our commitment 
to act fairly, morally and lawfully with all stakeholders.

The main Group level policies relevant to conduct can  
be found at www.ccamatil.com/our-company/corporate-
governance/. 

Communication with Shareholders
The rights of our Shareholders are detailed in Coca-Cola 
Amatil’s Constitution. We also have a Disclosure and 
Communications Policy, which requires us to inform 
Shareholders about our strategic objectives and major 
developments. To allow Shareholders to effectively  
exercise these rights, the Board ensures our Shareholder 
communication is timely, relevant, useful and of high quality. 

To further improve accessibility to information, we 
communicate with Shareholders through ASX 
announcements, Company publications such as the  
Annual Report, webcasting analyst and media briefings,  
the Annual General Meeting, the website (www.ccamatil.com) 
and through our Investor Relations function.

BUSINESS AND 
SUSTAINABILITY RISKS

Coca-Cola Amatil is exposed to a range of market, financial, 
operational and socio-political risks that could have an adverse 
effect on the Group’s future financial prospects. The nature and 
potential impact of these risks can change over time and vary in 
degree with what Coca-Cola Amatil can control. Coca-Cola Amatil 
has a risk management framework in place with internal control 
systems to mitigate these key business risks. For further 
information on Coca-Cola Amatil Limited’s risk management 
framework, refer to our Corporate Governance Statement at 
www.ccamatil.com. This includes discussion of Coca-Cola  
Amatil Limited’s approach under Principle 7 of the ASX Corporate 
Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations, 3rd edition, being ‘Recognise and Manage Risk’. 

Coca-Cola Amatil’s key business risks include, but are not 
limited to:

– Beverage industry risks

 – Economic and political risks

– Cyber risk

– The Coca-Cola Company
(TCCC) and other brand
partners relationship risk

– Malicious product
tampering risk

– Litigation risk

– Supply chain risk

– Business interruption risk

– Workplace Health and

– Risk connected with loss of

Safety (WHS) risk

value to society

– Regulatory risks

– Climate change risk

– Foreign exchange risk

– Quality risk

– People risk.

Beverage industry risks
Fundamental shifts in the beverage and macroeconomic 
landscape continue to impact the beverage profit pool across the 
Group. These include changing consumer trends, a fragmented 
and price competitive trading environment, increasing margin 
pressure as manufacturer margins are squeezed by major 
retailers, digital disruption to supply chain and traditional ‘bricks 
and mortar’ retailers, and increased legislation and regulation. A 
primary driver is the health and wellness concerns around sugar 
and artificiality that are continuing to shift consumer preferences 
towards low- and no-kilojoule products, especially in developed 
countries. Coca-Cola Amatil’s Regional Beverages Powerhouse 
strategy establishes a clear growth platform that builds on our 
expert knowledge of the beverages market in ASEAN and 
Oceania, a leading portfolio of brands, and a track record of 
delivering innovation to grow across beverages categories (and its 
share of those categories). Coca-Cola Amatil continues to engage 
with stakeholders to raise awareness of the impacts of additional 
regulations and find industry-led initiatives to achieve public 
policy objectives with minimal impact to consumers and  
Coca-Cola Amatil. If the Group fails to drive market growth in 
established categories and provide the types of products that 
some of its consumers prefer, this could adversely affect its 
business and financial results. 

Economic and political risks
The World Economic Forum notes that the global economy  
is showing signs of vulnerability and is at risk of stagnation – 
reflected recently with the retail environment in Coca-Cola 
Amatil’s markets continuing to be a challenge as consumer 
spending remains subdued across several areas, particularly  
in relation to food and beverage retailing. Other key external 
economic factors potentially impacting Coca-Cola Amatil are 
likely to include input commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, 
Papua New Guinea economic instability and the impact on 

68

foreign currency liquidity, tariffs and protectionism, and 
geopolitical turbulence in the form of US-China Trade wars,  
Brexit and Middle East tensions. Coronavirus (COVID 19) may also 
have an adverse impact on global economies. Coca-Cola Amatil  
is implementing a range of strategic initiatives over 2020 to build 
scale and relevance in the markets in which it operates, and 
continue to manage its commodity and foreign exchange risks. 

Cyber risk
Cyber security and information privacy are an increasing 
challenge given the dynamic nature of these threats, and the 
importance of safeguarding intellectual property, supply chain 
systems, contractual agreements, operational technology and 
staff/customer information. Like many organisations, the majority 
of Coca-Cola Amatil’s core activities and operations are enabled 
by technology. Coca-Cola Amatil is heavily reliant on these 
systems being available, data integrity being maintained and IT 
platforms operating effectively for business operations as well as 
to support the effective implementation of strategic plans. 
Cyber-attacks on our key business partners which do not directly 
target Coca-Cola Amatil also have the potential to disrupt our 
operations. Coca-Cola Amatil has a cyber security strategy and 
framework that is used to identify and address risks associated 
with cyber-attacks.

The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) and other brand 
partners relationship risk
Coca-Cola Amatil’s relationships with its partners are key to its 
success and forms a fundamental part of the core strategy. 
Coca-Cola Amatil’s beverage business, of which The Coca-Cola 
Company branded products form the majority, relies on strong 
plans that are aligned for growth. Coca-Cola Amatil continues to 
drive further improvement in alignment with The Coca-Cola 
Company, and joint plans are in place with each of the alcohol 
and other brand partners to profitably drive volume. Coca-Cola 
Amatil’s relationship with The Coca-Cola Company is governed  
in its various markets by Bottler’s Agreements that set out the 
respective rights and responsibilities of Coca-Cola Amatil and 
The Coca-Cola Company. Termination of our agreements with  
The Coca-Cola Company or its other brand partners, or 
unfavourable renewal terms, could adversely affect Coca-Cola 
Amatil’s profitability. Our agreements with The Coca-Cola 
Company are typically 10 years in duration and have consistently 
been renewed. Coca-Cola Amatil’s Bottler’s Agreements provide 
it exclusive rights to prepare, package, sell and distribute the 
relevant trademarked products of The Coca-Cola Company in a 
territory. The Group’s agreements contain obligations in relation 
to preparation and marketing requirements of The Coca-Cola 
Company. The Coca-Cola Company typically takes overall 
responsibility for the consumer marketing of its products and 
supplies proprietary concentrates and beverage bases to 
Coca-Cola Amatil.

Risk connected with loss of value to society
Value to society refers to the net positive contribution we aim  
to deliver to society, also reflected in the level of acceptance or 
approval by local communities and stakeholders, including 
employees. A failure to deliver on Coca-Cola Amatil’s consumer, 
investor and community expectations in relation to the social and 
environmental impacts created by our activities could result in 
damage to our brand, reputation and consumer sentiment. 
Coca-Cola Amatil is committed to making a distinct and positive 
contribution to the world in which we live, through product 
innovation, packaging innovation to reduce waste, environmental 
initiatives to reduce our impact, supporting human rights, and 

supporting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Delivering on 
our commitments helps us maintain or improve the value we bring 
to society. Our sustainability reporting details our commitments 
and tracks our progress against these commitments.

Regulatory risks
The regulatory and political environment in all of Coca-Cola 
Amatil’s operating jurisdictions continues to add to the 
complexity of our business. As a result, corporates are vulnerable 
to more frequent regulatory interventions, such as taxes on sugar, 
plastic and other packaging and waste, restrictions on marketing 
activity, additional mandatory product labelling requirements, 
evolving and expanding Climate Change risk disclosures and 
increased entitlements for casual workers. Coca-Cola Amatil 
continues to engage with stakeholders to raise awareness of  
the impacts of additional regulations and develop initiatives  
to achieve public policy objectives with minimal impact to 
consumers and the Group. Coca-Cola Amatil is subject to  
regular tax audits across its jurisdictions and interacts with tax 
authorities on a range of issues as part of the ongoing operations 
of tax authorities. In addition, Coca-Cola Amatil has responded  
to the increased focus by revenue authorities on how companies 
structure their business across borders by publishing an  
annual Tax Transparency Report to provide governments and 
stakeholders with information on its taxation contribution in  
all its countries of operation. 

Climate change risk 
The global climate is changing and will continue to in ways that 
affect the planning and day-to-day operations of businesses.  
The manifestations of climate change that have the potential  
to impact Coca-Cola Amatil are two-fold:

– Physical consequences relating to the physical changes

to climatic conditions; and

– Transitional consequences relating to the shift to a resilient,
low carbon economy through changes in policy, regulation,
technology, market and reputation associated with adaptation
to a new climate paradigm and decarbonisation of the global
economy.

A more comprehensive climate change risk disclosure is detailed 
on page 36.

Malicious product tampering risk 
Malicious product tampering or material threat of malicious 
product tampering would have an adverse financial impact. This 
may result from an initial product recall, impacting short-term 
sales, as well as a potentially longer-term adverse financial 
outcome, due to a loss of brand image and a loss of customer  
and consumer confidence in markets where product tampering 
occurs. 

Litigation risk
From time to time, Coca-Cola Amatil may be party to claims and 
legal proceedings. Coca-Cola Amatil is committed to ensuring  
our business practices and dealings with and via third parties  
are ethical, legal, straightforward and open. We have established 
policies, procedures, standards and guidelines, which navigate 
how we conduct business the right way. Coca-Cola Amatil is 
mindful of the litigious landscape in the countries in which we 
operate including the emergence of class action activity. We 
continuously assess these risks, and endeavour to resolve 
commercial disputes amicably where possible.

Supply chain risk 
Disruptions in Coca-Cola Amatil’s supply chain due to the failure 
of a key supplier to meet its contractual obligations have the 
potential to significantly impact the Group’s operations. This  
risk is most likely to result from a suppliers’ inability to perform 
contractual supply obligations (e.g. due to unforeseen 
circumstances, labour disputes etc). Management work with 
stakeholders across the business to ensure we have the 
appropriate supply continuity plans in place for key inputs.  
Some residual supplier exposure is transferred by way of 
business interruption insurance.

Business interruption risk 
A manufacturing shutdown or disruption to business could have a 
major impact on profit and on Coca-Cola Amatil’s reputation with 
both consumers and customers. Coca-Cola Amatil is focused on 
ensuring that incident management, crisis response and business 
continuity frameworks are in place to address events (for example 
fire, explosion, civil unrest, terrorist attack, pandemic etc) that 
could result in a disruption.

Workplace health & safety risk 
Coca-Cola Amatil highly values safety and is committed to 
ensuring that a robust and effective WHS framework is employed 
across the Group. While Coca-Cola Amatil has historically 
experienced low injury rates, the risk of serious injury through 
industrial and traffic accidents remains in all Coca-Cola Amatil 
markets due to the nature of the manufacturing and distribution 
business. Coca-Cola Amatil has a robust WHS framework  
that is reviewed on a regular basis by management and audited 
externally. Additionally, management continue to invest in 
initiatives to reduce WHS related risks. 

Foreign exchange risk 
The Group is exposed to the effect of foreign exchange risk 
principally related to exposure to fluctuations in the value of the 
Australian dollar versus various currencies in which it borrows 
money. The Group is also exposed to the effect of foreign 
exchange risk due to fluctuations in the value of the Australian 
dollar, Indonesian Rupiah and New Zealand Dollar versus foreign 
currencies with respect to its commitments to make capital 
expenditure, the purchase of raw materials and other expenses, 
and the currencies of the other countries in which it maintains 
assets offshore and recognises earnings. Further, liquidity in the 
local Papua New Guinea currency market remains a risk for the 
Group. Coca-Cola Amatil hedges exposure to foreign currency 
denominated borrowings (by the use of cross currency and 
foreign exchange swap transactions) and foreign currency raw 
materials and capital expenditure exposure (by use of forward 
foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency deposits) in 
accordance with the Board approved Treasury Policy. However, 
there can be no assurance that the Group will be successful in 
eliminating all such foreign currency risks. 

Quality risk 
The risk of product contamination exists for beverages currently 
made or sold by Coca-Cola Amatil and particularly in relation to 
sensitive beverages. Given Coca-Cola Amatil’s extremely large 
beverage production volumes across the Group, the risk of quality 
issues is a key focus, with stringent product quality measures, 
risk management activities and incident management processes 
in place.

People risk
Our ability to recruit, retain and engage a talented and motivated 
workforce is a key success factor for Coca-Cola Amatil. Coca-Cola 
Amatil continue to build a strong employer brand, commit to 
developing and retaining talent and have established company-
wide engagement principles to drive engagement across the Group.

Capital and financial risk management 
Information concerning Coca-Cola Amatil’s capital and financial 
risk management can be found in Note 14 to the financial 
statements. 

Further disclosure 
Further information in relation to strategy, prospects for future 
financial years and business risks has not been disclosed. In the 
opinion of the Directors, such disclosures would unreasonably 
prejudice the interests of the Group, by providing competitors 
information that Coca-Cola Amatil regards as being commercially 
sensitive to the business.

REMUNERATION	REPORT	

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries

This Remuneration Report outlines remuneration strategy, framework and practices of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (Amatil) and its 
subsidiaries, and how these apply to Key Management Personnel (KMP) in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001. In this report, KMP consist of senior executives (referred to as KMP Senior Executives) and Non-Executive Directors.

The information contained in this Remuneration Report has been audited by Ernst & Young. Refer to the audit opinion on page 150.

INTRODUCTION	FROM	THE	PEOPLE	COMMITTEE	CHAIR
Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to introduce the Coca-Cola Amatil Remuneration Report for 2019. This report sets out the remuneration information for 
KMP Senior Executives and Non-Executive Directors, and describes the Group’s remuneration framework that applies to these roles.

The end of 2019 marked the successful completion of a two-year transition period for the Group. In this final transition year, the targets 
set reflected the necessary investments required for the businesses. The results delivered against these targets were strong, indicating 
that the planned investments and our strategies are delivering. Australian Beverages is positioned to grow in 2020 and the Group is 
expected to deliver mid-single digit earnings per share growth in 2020 and over the medium term. Additionally, during 2019 the Group 
took important steps towards its Regional Beverages Powerhouse ambition through the divestment of the SPC business and announced 
the integration of the Alcohol & Coffee business into each geographic segment. These results and progress translated into value 
creation for Shareholders, with our share price appreciating 35% during 2019. 

The Short-Term Incentive Plan outcomes reflect this strong performance with KMP Senior Executives receiving incentives at or above 
target. This contrasts with 2018 where results and incentive outcomes were well below target for most KMP Senior Executives. The 
Long-Term Incentive Plan also resulted in partial vesting due to the strong share price performance and returns delivered to 
Shareholders. 

In 2019 no changes were made to the remuneration of the Group Managing Director and other Australia-based KMP Senior Executives. 
The Managing Director, New Zealand & Fiji, and the Managing Director, Indonesia & Papua New Guinea, both received modest 
increases. 

Looking forward, the Group is committed to delivering mid-single digit earnings per share growth in 2020 and over the medium term. 
To support this, we will be reintroducing earnings per share to future Long-Term Incentive Plan grants to complement the existing  
Total Shareholder Return measures. 

I trust you find this report informative.

2	 REMUNERATION	@	AMATIL	
A summary of KMP Senior Executive remuneration for 2019 is outlined below, along with the direction for 2020. Further details on 2019 
remuneration outcomes can be found in Section 4.

What happened?

KMP Senior Executives

Fixed remuneration

No changes were made to the fixed remuneration of the Group Managing Director and other Australia-
based KMP Senior Executives in 2019, with moderate increases for the Managing Director, New Zealand 
& Fiji and Managing Director, Indonesia & Papua New Guinea.

2019 Short-Term Incentive 
Plan (STIP)

The STIP outcomes reflect strong performance of the Group and the businesses with KMP Senior 
Executives receiving incentives at or above target compared with 2018 where results and incentive 
outcomes were well below target for most KMP Senior Executives.

2017-2019 Long-Term 
Incentive Plan (LTIP) 
vesting 

The 2017-2019 LTIP achieved partial vesting when tested on 31 December 2019. Vesting was as follows: 

 — absolute total Shareholder return (Absolute TSR) – 30.6% total Shareholder return over the period 

(being 9.3% per annum)

 — relative total Shareholder return (Relative TSR) – nil vesting
 — earnings per share (EPS) – nil vesting.

This resulted in 22.1% of the LTIP vesting (2018: the 2016-2018 LTIP grant did not vest).

Other

A one-off equity grant (sign-on award) vested to Peter West, Managing Director, Australian Beverages. 
This replaced a portion of an incentive at his previous employer which was forfeited upon commencing 
employment with the Group. Further details are set out in Section 11 Additional Disclosures.

Non-Executive Directors

Non-Executive Director fees No changes were made to Non-Executive Director fees during 2019. 

What to expect?

The table below summarises key changes to be made to KMP Senior Executive remuneration for 2020. These changes have been 
informed by feedback received from Shareholders during 2019 and designed to support our return to growth from 2020 and the 
completion of our two-year transition period.

Performance 
conditions for 
upcoming 2020-2022 
LTIP awards

Having completed our two-year transition period, we are reintroducing EPS as a performance measure for the 
2020-2022 LTIP awards, with a target aligned to our Shareholder value proposition. 

The 2020-2022 LTIP awards will include:

 — EPS with a weighting consistent with the grants prior to 2019 i.e. the LTIP weightings will now be 33.3% 

Absolute TSR, 33.3% Relative TSR and 33.3% EPS 

 — no changes to the existing Relative TSR and Absolute TSR measures 
 — in response to Shareholder feedback, compound annual growth rate (CAGR) targets will be set and 

measured at the end of the three-year performance period. This contrasts with our historic approach to EPS 
where a simple average was used

 — to ensure focus of our KMP Senior Executives on the criticality of our ongoing1 performance, and consistent 

with the Short Term Incentive, ongoing profit will be used as the basis for measuring EPS. 

The 2019-2021 LTIP award remains unchanged and does not include EPS as a performance measure. We 
simplified our approach in 2019 to focus solely on relative and total Shareholder returns. Given the 2019 
calendar year fell within our transition period and included planned investments to support our return to 
growth, it was difficult to set EPS targets which would be meaningful to participants and acceptable to 
Shareholders. As we move into 2020, and in response to Shareholder feedback, we believe it is now 
appropriate to introduce EPS measured on a CAGR basis for the 2020-2022 LTIP awards.

Measuring profit for 
the 2020 STIP and 
2020-2022 LTIP 
award

During the Group’s two-year transition, statutory profit was used for incentive purposes. The rationale for using 
statutory profit over this period was to ensure focus on the whole result delivered to Shareholders, particularly 
in the context of planned one-off investments being made in the business. For 2020, the STIP and the LTIP 
will measure profit and earnings per share on an ongoing1 basis. This will support a primary focus on ongoing 
trading performance. The Board will consider any one-off items that occur that impact profit and/or earnings 
per share and, where appropriate, hold individual executives accountable or reward them based on these 
items, with appropriate disclosure to Shareholders.

3	 OVERVIEW	OF	OUR	REMUNERATION	APPROACH

Remuneration strategy and principles

Our KMP Senior Executive remuneration is designed to support and reinforce the Group’s purpose, values, strategy and our long-term 
approach to creating value for Shareholders and for society. The at-risk components of KMP Senior Executive remuneration are closely 
linked to successful execution of agreed plans and balance delivery in both the short and long term, to promote diligent risk 
management and sustainable growth. 

Our approach is guided by the following principles:

Provide competitive  
remuneration and benefits

 based on consideration of all the relevant inputs (e.g. experience, performance, market)  

to attract and retain talented executives to lead Amatil.

Ensure significant proportion  
of remuneration at-risk

 with rewards based on the achievement of financial and other business objectives,  

and with outcomes aligned to affordability and Shareholder value creation.

Re-enforce an  
ownership mindset

 by delivering a significant portion of at-risk remuneration as shares rather than cash,  

and through encouraging and facilitating the building of a shareholding in Amatil.

How remuneration is set and reviewed

The remuneration for KMP Senior Executives is set on appointment to the role and then reviewed annually. We set both the fixed 
remuneration and the total remuneration opportunity by considering:

 — experience, competence and performance in the role (or in a comparable external role if a new hire)

 — competitive market pressures (e.g. scarcity of talent for the specific role or function within a specific geography)

 — relevant market data (referencing a range around the 50th percentile for fixed remuneration and a 75th percentile opportunity, 

subject to performance, for total remuneration relative to comparable roles in comparable companies)

 — desired focus on fixed versus at-risk remuneration

 — internal equity with peer roles.

The components of remuneration 

KMP Senior Executive remuneration consists of fixed and at-risk components:

Fixed remuneration

Consists of cash salary and superannuation contributions. 

Short-Term Incentive 
Plan (with 40% 
delivered as deferred 
Coca-Cola Amatil 
Limited shares)

The STIP is the annual incentive plan for KMP Senior Executives. Awards under the STIP are based on business 
and individual performance measures, in addition to consideration of the way in which that performance was 
delivered (i.e. alignment with the Group’s purpose and values and considering the individual’s leadership 
accountability and responsibilities).

A portion is paid in cash and a portion (40%) is delivered as Coca-Cola Amatil Limited shares, which are 
deferred for up to two years to ensure continued alignment with Shareholder value creation beyond the 
performance year of the incentive.

Long-Term Incentive 
Plan 

The LTIP is an equity incentive plan used to align the reward of executives to the returns generated for 
Coca-Cola Amatil Limited Shareholders.

Other benefits

KMP Senior Executives are provided with other benefits including:

 — a company product allowance
 — annual health check
 — participation in the Employee Share Plan (ESP) known as MyAmatil. The ESP is open to all full and part-time 
employees of the Group on a voluntary basis with each participant able to contribute up to 3% per year of 
base salary to purchase shares. KMP Senior Executives are restricted to making contributions to MyAmatil 
during a trading window and must comply with the Trading in Coca-Cola Amatil Shares policy. For every 
share acquired a matching share is acquired, which under normal circumstances vests to the employee after 
a period of two years. There are no performance conditions. The Group Managing Director does not 
participate in this plan

 — life, total and permanent disability and salary continuance insurance premiums are also paid if the KMP 
Senior Executive chooses to be a member of the Coca-Cola Amatil Superannuation Plan in Australia.

As an expatriate in Indonesia, Mr Gunduz’s contract also provides for expatriate benefits including medical 
insurance, housing and utilities, home leave, school fees, and an expatriate allowance.

Aligned with market practice in New Zealand, Mr Litchfield receives medical insurance cover and a car 
allowance packaged as part of his fixed remuneration.

The focus on fixed versus at-risk, and the relevant time period

A significant portion of KMP Senior Executive remuneration is at-risk. The chart below illustrates the current mix between fixed 
remuneration, the STIP and the LTIP for each continuing KMP Senior Executive. 

The at-risk components target and stretch are calculated with reference to the financial targets we set, in addition to the successful 
delivery of individual business objectives each year. All targets are intended to be challenging yet achievable.

Minimum shareholding requirement

To ensure strong alignment with Shareholders, a minimum shareholding requirement applies to KMP Senior Executives and Directors 
to hold an amount equivalent in Coca-Cola Amatil Limited shares. These minimum shareholding requirements are: 

KMP Senior Executives

Non-Executive Directors

 — Group Managing Director: 100% of fixed remuneration.

 — 50% of the pre-tax Non-Executive Director base fee within 

 — Other KMP Senior Executives: 50% of fixed remuneration.

three years of appointment.

A five-year time frame is permitted for KMP Senior Executives  
to attain this holding.

 — 100% of the pre-tax Non-Executive Director base fee within  

five years of appointment.

The requirement does not apply to TCCC nominee Directors given 
the significant shareholding held by TCCC, and their role as 
representatives of TCCC. 

From time to time, KMP Senior Executives and Non-Executive Directors may be restricted from trading in Coca-Cola Amatil Limited 
given their access to confidential or price sensitive insider information which is not complete or disclosable under the ASX Listing 
Rules. This may impact their ability to meet the minimum shareholding requirement within the five-year time frame. As a result, this 
time frame may be extended at the Board’s discretion. As at 31 December 2019, all KMP Senior Executives and Non-Executive Directors 
were compliant with the minimum shareholding requirement.

2019 STIP outcomes – performance commentary

Overview
The end of 2019 marked the completion of a two-year transition period for the Group. In the final year of this transition revenue and 
profit targets were set by the Board to drive delivery of our strategy and plans, and reflected investments for growth in line with the 
Accelerated Australian Growth Plan, the Indonesia Accelerate to Transform Plan and our Group Strategy. 

The results delivered by each business and the Group overall in 2019 were strong, indicating the planned investments and our 
strategies are delivering. During 2019 the Group took important steps towards its Regional Beverages Powerhouse ambition through  
the divestment of the SPC business and announced the integration of the Alcohol & Coffee business into each geographic segment. 
Notably:

 — Australian Beverages lifted revenue and profitability markedly in the second half of 2019 and delivered revenue growth for the first 
time in seven years. The profit outcome delivered at approximately target, whilst the revenue outcome albeit strong, fell short of the 
challenging targets that had been set

 — Indonesia & Papua New Guinea produced strong outcomes, with consistent above-market revenue growth, albeit lower than target, 
and on-target earnings consistent with our investment plans in Indonesia. We achieved a comprehensive and better than target 
improvement from Papua New Guinea after the operational challenges of 2018

 — New Zealand & Fiji had another very strong year exceeding the expectations set for them and continuing the strong momentum from 

previous years

 — Alcohol & Coffee delivered its fifth year of consecutive double digit earnings growth in line with target. 

For the full year, the Group delivered ongoing Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) growth of 0.8%. Ongoing Net Profit After Tax 
(NPAT) growth was stronger at 1.4% driven by lower finance costs.

Profit assessment
Profit assessment for the purposes of the STIP during our transition period was focused on statutory profit. The rationale for using 
statutory profit during our transition period was to ensure focus on the whole result delivered to Shareholders, particularly in the 
context of planned one-off investments being made in the business.

On 28 June 2019, the Group announced it had completed the sale of the SPC business to Shepparton Partners Collective Pty Ltd,  
with an expected profit on sale of $14 million (actual was $13.8 million after tax). The Board considered the sale and given the previous 
impairments of SPC determined not to include the profit on sale of SPC when determining STIP outcomes for 2019. 

KMP Senior Executives were held to account for all other one-off items and no other adjustments were made to the statutory result  
for incentive purposes for 2019.

Revenue assessment
Revenue was introduced to the STIP in 2018 forming a 20% weighting and reflects the importance of the Group and businesses in 
delivering sustainable revenue growth. For 2019, challenging revenue targets were set for each business to drive a focus on growth. 
Recognising the importance of delivering revenue growth for the 2019 year the revenue component was only payable once growth was 
achieved. The payment schedule commenced at 0% payment for no growth and payment increasing with revenue growth in a straight 
line with 100% payable for reaching target, and 150% for achieving stretch.

Individual assessment
KMP Senior Executives delivered or exceeded their individual objectives which reflected our focus on successful execution of our 
strategic growth plans. Overall, the Group Managing Director, Group Chief Financial Officer, Managing Director, Australian Beverages 
and Managing Director, Indonesia & Papua New Guinea each achieved improved individual outcomes in 2019 with combined business 
and individual outcomes at or above target, compared with well below target for 2018. Only the Managing Director, New Zealand & Fiji 
achieved strong outcomes in both years, reflecting consistent and strong delivery of results in both years.

Further details on the STIP outcomes are included on the following pages.

2017-2019 LTIP grants – tested at the conclusion of the 2019 year 

The performance period for the 2017-2019 LTIP commenced on 1 January 2017 and concluded on 31 December 2019. Performance was 
assessed at the end of the 2019 calendar year and as a result of performance over the period, there was partial vesting (last year the 
2016-2018 LTIP grant did not vest).

Adjustments to unvested STIP Shares or LTIP awards

Each year, the Committee considers whether any events have occurred (or become apparent) during the year that merit an increase 
and/or reduction to unvested STIP shares or LTIP awards. Applying the remuneration accountability framework, the Committee 
considered the 2019 calendar year and determined that no such adjustment was required for KMP Senior Executives.

Remuneration received by KMP Senior Executives in 2019

The following table sets out the value of the remuneration received by KMP Senior Executives during the year. The figures in this 
table differ from those outlined in the statutory table later in Section 7 mainly because the statutory table includes an apportioned 
accounting value for all unvested LTIP grants (which remain subject to the satisfaction of performance and service conditions and may 
not ultimately vest). 

The values disclosed in the below table, while not in accordance with the accounting standards, are intended to help Shareholders 
better understand the linkages between performance and the remuneration realised by the KMP Senior Executives in relation to 2019. 

The table below shows:

 — fixed remuneration

 — any vesting of STIP shares, LTIP awards, and/or MyAmatil matching shares.

2019 STIP

Set out below is a summary of the terms and conditions which apply to the Plan for all KMP Senior Executives:

What is the purpose 
of the Plan?

The STIP is the annual incentive plan which seeks to incentivise strong performance from KMP  
Senior Executives. Awards under the Plan are based on performance for the year from 1 January 2019 
to 31 December 2019.

What are the 
performance 
conditions and why 
were they chosen?

The 2019 plan has three components: profit, revenue and individual business objectives. Profit and revenue 
targets are based on the Board’s approved business plans for the year, with the remaining component of 
the incentive containing specific business objectives applicable to the role of each KMP Senior Executive.  
These objectives are aligned with the priorities set out in the business plan and strategy. All targets are 
intended to be stretching yet achievable.

To reflect the importance of delivering to the expectations of our Shareholders, profit and revenue are used 
together in the Plan. The intention is to ensure an appropriate focus on sustainable revenue growth, which 
is also profitable. The table below outlines how we measure profit and revenue: 

Business segment

Profit (50%)

Revenue (20%)

Group

Measured as profit for the year attributable 
to Shareholders of Coca-Cola Amatil 
Limited, and as EBIT. We believe the use of 
these two measures together, and weighted 
equally, ensures a focus on the profit result 
generated for Shareholders, and reflects the 
performance of the businesses (as better 
represented by the EBIT result)

Measured as  
trading revenue

Each business

Measured as EBIT

The performance of the Group Managing Director and the Group Chief Financial Officer is measured on the 
Group results, whereas the managing Directors of individual businesses are assessed predominantly on the 
performance of their businesses, with only a small portion assessed against the Group result.

A threshold, target and stretch are set for Group and each business based on the business plan and the 
degree of difficulty the Committee and management believe is inherent in the targets. Each individual business 
therefore has a different threshold and stretch.

The maximum that can be achieved, requiring achievement of the stretch targets, is 150% against the profit 
and revenue targets.

Individual business objectives (30%)

This component is based on the achievement of objectives set at the beginning of the year. Each objective 
details a specific goal, and the related tasks and measures of success. They can include further financial 
metrics and both quantitative and qualitative objectives with relevant measures. Weightings are assigned  
to each objective to reflect their relative importance to delivery of the strategy and required focus.

In addition to assessing objectives, the Committee considers the remuneration accountability framework,  
and considers any other results through the year (that were not reflected in the objectives), and how the 
performance was delivered (through demonstrating strong leadership aligned with the Amatil values). 

The maximum that can be achieved is 150% against any individual business objectives.

2019-2021 LTIP 

Set out below is a summary of the terms and conditions of the 2019 grants made under the LTIP:

How is performance 
assessed?

The Committee relies on the audited Coca-Cola Amatil Limited financial results for the financial year to 
determine the extent to which profit and revenue targets have been achieved. 

What is the purpose 
of the Plan?

The LTIP is an equity incentive plan used to align the reward of KMP Senior Executives to the returns generated 
for Coca-Cola Amatil Limited Shareholders.

Consistent with current practice, in 2019 our KMP Senior Executives were assessed against profit targets, with 
a focus on the Group’s statutory result. This approach ensures incentives are aligned with the result delivered 
for Shareholders, including appropriate management of one-off non-trading items (both costs and benefits). 
When determining incentive outcomes, the Committee considers these non-trading items. Where it judges 
appropriate, the Committee adjusts outcomes upwards or downwards to better reflect the performance 
delivered and alignment with Shareholders. While the Committee seeks to minimise such adjustments, 
in 2019 it excluded the profit related to the sale of SPC.

The achievement of individual business objectives and the overall performance of KMP Senior Executives are 
assessed and recommended for approval to the Committee by the Group Managing Director. The Committee 
separately assesses the Group Managing Director’s performance and makes a recommendation to the Board 
for approval. 

The Committee believes this process provides an accurate and objective assessment of performance, with the 
appropriate level of governance, review and approval.

The incentive is calculated by assessing performance and applying the relevant weightings:

Profit result  
(50% of STIP) 

Assessed against the 
threshold, target and 
stretch and results in 
an outcome between 
0% and 150%.

Revenue result  
(20% of STIP) 

Assessed against the 
threshold, target and 
stretch and results in an 
outcome between 0% 
and 150%.

Individual business  
objectives (30% of STIP)

Achievement of individual 
business objectives, with 
consideration of other results 
throughout the year (that were not 
reflected in the objectives), and 
how the performance was 
delivered.

Each KMP Senior Executive is 
assessed between 0% and 150%.

Target
STIP opportunity

How is the incentive 
calculated?

How much can 
the executive earn 
each year?

Each KMP Senior Executive has a target opportunity specified in their contract or remuneration review letter. 
The 2019 target STIP opportunity for the Group Managing Director was 80% of fixed remuneration, and 60%  
for the other KMP Senior Executives. The maximum award an individual can earn is 150% of target.

How is the award 
paid?

60% of the post-tax award is paid as cash and 40% is delivered in Coca-Cola Amatil Limited shares. Half 
of the shares are subject to a one-year holding period and half are subject to a two-year holding period.

The shares are purchased on market and held irrespective of whether the executive is employed by the  
Group during this period. The executive receives dividends and voting rights on the shares during this time.  
The shares are released to the executive at the end of the holding period.

If an individual is terminated for cause prior to the release date of the shares, the shares are forfeited.

Is there any clawback 
or malus discretion?

The Board has the discretion to reduce the number of unvested STIP shares (including to zero), if it judges 
such an action appropriate. The Board considers the application of malus before any scheduled release 
of unvested shares.

Who participates? 

The Board annually invites KMP Senior Executives to participate in the Plan. 

What type of awards 
are granted?

The LTIP is a grant of rights to Coca-Cola Amatil Limited shares that vest after three years subject to the 
achievement of the performance conditions stipulated. There is no exercise price attached to the rights. 

What size of awards 
are granted?

The maximum face value for the 2019 LTIP grant for the Group Managing Director was 120% of fixed 
remuneration, and 80% for other KMP Senior Executives.

How is the number of 
rights determined?

The maximum number of rights awarded is determined on a face value basis (i.e. by dividing the maximum 
award opportunity by the market price of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited shares over the 30 days preceding the 
beginning of the performance period). To achieve vesting of the maximum number of rights, each of the 
performance conditions must be met in full at their stretch levels of performance.

What is the 
performance period?

Grants made under the LTIP have a three-year performance period. For the 2019 grant, the performance period 
is from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021.

What are the 
performance 
conditions and why 
were they chosen? 

The performance conditions, targets and vesting schedules are reviewed each year prior to grants being made, 
to ensure they align with Group strategy and the interests of Shareholders. 

For the 2019-2021 LTIP awards, we simplified our approach to focus solely on Relative TSR and Absolute TSR. 
Half of the award will be assessed independently against each measure.

What is the Relative 
TSR performance 
condition and target?

The use of both measures of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) will reward both relative and absolute Shareholder 
value creation. The Committee believes the two measures complement one another and provide a balanced 
assessment of performance in terms of the returns generated for Shareholders. The absolute measure has the 
benefit of providing executives with clarity on the level of share price growth required for maximum vesting.

Relative TSR represents the change in the value of the Group’s share price over the performance period plus 
reinvested dividends, expressed as a percentage of the opening value of the share. 

The Group’s Relative TSR is measured over the performance period and assessed against the TSR of the 
comparator group over the same period. Coca-Cola Amatil Limited is then given a percentile ranking based 
on its comparative TSR performance. The comparator group comprises the ASX 100 (less financial and mining 
companies) as defined at the start of the performance period, reflecting a peer group of comparable Top 
100 Australian listed companies.

The proportion of rights vested in this tranche is determined based on the following:

Roles in determining remuneration

What is the Absolute 
TSR performance 
condition and target?

The Group’s Absolute TSR is measured over the performance period and assessed relative to a target of 8% 
CAGR for partial vesting and a target for maximum vesting of 12% CAGR. 

The proportion of rights in this tranche that vest is determined based on the following table:

The table below sets out the roles of the Board, the People Committee and management in relation to Board and KMP Senior Executive 
remuneration:

 — Seeks input and advice from other 

Committees on matters that relate to 
KMP Senior Executive remuneration  
(e.g. risk management, safety 
performance etc).

External independent advice

How are performance 
conditions assessed?

At the completion of the three-year performance period, an external consultant undertakes the Relative TSR 
and Absolute TSR calculations to ensure independence of the calculation.

The Committee reviews the findings of the performance assessments and approves the vesting or lapsing 
of awards in accordance with the vesting tables.

Is retesting 
permitted?

There is no retesting of performance if performance conditions are not met at the end of the three-year 
performance period. 

What happens on 
ceasing employment?

Where a participant resigns or is terminated for cause before the end of the performance period, all rights 
will lapse immediately.

Unless the Board determines otherwise, if a participant ceases employment before the end of the performance 
period for any other reason:

 —  rights will be pro-rated to the date of cessation and tested against the performance conditions at the end 

of the performance period if more than one-third of the performance period has elapsed; or

 — all rights will lapse immediately if less than one-third of the performance period has elapsed.

What happens if a 
change of control 
occurs?

In the event of a change of control prior to the end of the performance period, the Board has retained 
discretion to vest any unvested LTIP awards.

Are there dividends 
or voting rights?

There are no dividend entitlements or voting rights attached to the rights awarded. The entitlement to receive 
dividends and voting rights only applies if the rights vest and shares are acquired.

Is there any clawback 
or malus discretion? 

The Board has the discretion to reduce the number of unvested LTIP rights (including to zero), where 
appropriate. The Board considers the application of malus before any scheduled release of unvested 
LTIP rights.

The People Committee also has access to independent advice. In 2019, the People Committee continued to utilise 
PricewaterhouseCoopers. No remuneration recommendations (as defined by the Corporations Act 2001) were provided in 2019. 
Advice was limited to market information with respect to the Group Managing Director’s and the Non-Executive Directors’ 
remuneration, and a market insight briefing for the Committee. 

Preventing unintended consequences 

The reward framework has design elements that protect against the risk of unintended and unjustifiable outcomes. These include:

 —  measuring incentive plans across a suite of relevant performance measures, and not placing too much emphasis on one specific 

aspect of performance

 — assessing performance through the types of objectives set, the deferred component of the STIP and the time periods over which 

performance is measured: one-year for the STIP, and three years for the LTIP

 — the STIP deferred shares and LTIP awards, which continue in the plan beyond cessation of employment (subject to the reason 

for ceasing employment) and ensure a focus on long-term Shareholder value creation

 —  a minimum shareholding requirement for KMP Senior Executives to ensure their incentives align with Shareholder interests

 — the Board’s ability to adjust STIP outcomes and reduce unvested STIP deferred shares, as well as unvested LTIP awards. These 

provisions are drafted broadly to provide the Board scope to exercise this authority as required.

Remuneration accountability framework

In determining remuneration outcomes for KMP Senior Executives, the Board considers not only the financial and individual 
performance outcomes, but also the way in which that performance was delivered using an accountability framework. The 
accountability framework supports rigour and consistency in how executive performance is measured and reflected through 
remuneration. This framework: 

 — describes the types of incidents that need to be identified and reported (e.g. safety, financial mis-statements, breaches of codes 

of conduct, poor audit findings, and breaches of post-employment restraints)

 — explicitly outlines the consequences of different performance outcomes (e.g. no remuneration review, reduced STIP outcomes, 

or applying malus to unvested STIP shares or LTIP awards)

 —  considers each event on a case-by-case basis, recording precedents, ensuring consistency and reflecting both negative and positive 

outcomes

 — typically reserves that decisions will be made at year-end regarding the totality of the individual’s contribution throughout the year 

 —  notes that in serious cases consequences may extend beyond the consideration of remuneration alone, e.g. an individual may be 

required to leave Coca-Cola Amatil Limited.

The accountability framework is considered each year when assessing KMP Senior Executive performance. The Group Managing 
Director reviews and makes recommendations on the application of the framework for their direct reports. These recommendations 
are then considered and approved by the People Committee. For the Group Managing Director, the People Committee considers the 
application of the accountability framework and makes recommendations to the Board for approval.

9	 NON-EXECUTIVE	DIRECTOR	FEES
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors comprises Directors’ fees (base plus Board Committee fees) and superannuation 
contributions. No element of remuneration is performance related.

Based on market information received from external remuneration consultants (via the Committee), Directors’ fees are set and 
approved by the Board. Setting the fees considers the size and complexity of the Group’s operations, the Directors’ associated 
workload and their responsibility for the stewardship of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited. 

No changes were made to Non-Executive Directors’ fees during 2019. 

The fees are paid within a maximum Directors’ fee limit of $2.8 million, which was approved at the 2016 Annual General Meeting. 
This is a maximum limit and current fees fall below this limit. 

Directors’ fees

The annual Directors’ fees (excluding superannuation contributions) payable to  
Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 31 December 2019 were as follows:

Board of Directors

Audit & Finance Committee

Risk & Sustainability Committee

People Committee

17,500

25,000

No fees are payable in respect of membership of the Related Party Committee or the 
Nominations Committee. The Chairman of the Board does not receive any Committee fees. 

Non-Executive Directors’ are required to hold an amount equivalent to 50% of the pre-tax 
Director base fee within three years of appointment, and 100% within five years of 
appointment. This is subject to any share trading restrictions that may impact on meeting 
the requirement within the required time frames. 

The requirement does not apply to TCCC nominee Directors given the significant 
shareholding held by TCCC, and their role as representatives of TCCC.

In addition to Director fees, Coca-Cola Amatil Limited makes superannuation 
contributions up to the amount required by the Superannuation Guarantee legislation.  
If an exemption applies (such as that introduced by the recent legislation impacting 
Non-Executive Directors on multiple Boards), contributions will instead be made as cash.

Non-Executive Directors can access the staff sampling program that provides employees 
with a limited amount of company products for personal consumption.

10	 KMP	SHAREHOLDINGS	

KMP Senior Executives

As noted earlier, to ensure alignment with Shareholders, a minimum shareholding requirement applies. Subject to any share trading 
restrictions that may impact the attainment of these thresholds within the guideline’s time frames, the Group Managing Director is 
required to hold an amount equivalent to 100% of fixed remuneration. Other KMP Senior Executives are required to hold 50% of fixed 
remuneration in Coca-Cola Amatil Limited shares. A five-year time frame is permitted to attain this holding.

The table below shows the movements in shareholdings for KMP Senior Executives during 2019. These include:

 —  purchased shares and vested shares: either purchased on market or received through a Coca-Cola Amatil Limited share plan and 

no longer subject to any restrictions

 — STIP shares: purchased as part of a STIP award that have not yet completed their holding period and remain subject to forfeiture 

in specific circumstances

 — Employee Share Plan (MyAmatil) shares: purchased and matching shares that have not yet completed their holding period and remain 

subject to forfeiture in specific circumstances.

Non-Executive Directors 

As described earlier in this report, the Directors are required (subject to any share trading restrictions that may impact the attainment  
of thresholds within the guideline’s time frames) to hold an amount equivalent to:

 — 50% of the pre-tax Non-Executive Director base fee within three years of appointment

 — 100% of the pre-tax Non-Executive Director base fee within five years of appointment.

1  No grants will vest if the performance conditions are not satisfied; hence, the minimum value of the grants yet to vest is nil. The maximum value has been 

estimated based on the fair value per grant at the maximum achievement of the vesting scale less amounts already expensed at 31 December 2019.

11  ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

Other equity awards

As a result of Mr West, Managing Director, Australian Beverages joining Coca-Cola Amatil Limited in April 2018, Mr West forfeited a 
long-term incentive award related to his previous employment. Amatil agreed to provide a one-off equity award with a service period 
from April 2018 to February 2020. This award granted was conditional on verification from the previous employer that equity he  
had forfeited would have vested and the award only compensated for a portion of this forfeiture (i.e. one of the two tranches that  
he was forgoing).

Following verification received in December 2019, Amatil granted the share rights to Mr West on 5 February 2020 to the value of 
$695,625 (61,668 rights). Given this was an award to satisfy forfeiture of an incentive from a previous employer that was confirmed 
to have met its performance conditions and vested, there were no Amatil performance conditions attached to this award. Following 
completion of the service period from April 2018 to February 2020, the award will vest to Mr West on 21 February 2020. 

Loans to KMP and other transactions of KMP and their personally related entities

Neither Coca-Cola Amatil Limited or its subsidiaries have loans with KMP or was party to any other transactions with KMP (including 
their personally related entities). 

The Directors’ Report has been signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	(also	referred	to	as	Company)	is	a	for-profit	company	limited	by	shares	that	is	incorporated	and	domiciled	in	
Australia,	whose	shares	are	publicly	traded	on	the	Australian	Securities	Exchange.	Our	registered	office	is	located	at	Level	13,	40	Mount	
Street,	North	Sydney,	NSW	2060.	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	does	not	have	a	parent	entity.	The	nature	of	the	operations	and	principal	
activities	of	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	and	its	subsidiaries	together	(referred	to	as	Group,	we,	us	or	our)	are	described	in	Note	1	Segment	
Reporting.	This	financial	report	was	authorised	for	issue	in	accordance	with	a	resolution	of	the	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	Board	of	
Directors	on	20	February	2020.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
This	general	purpose	financial	report:

	— is	prepared	in	accordance	with	Australian	Accounting	Standards,	other	authoritative	pronouncements	of	the	Australian	Accounting	

Standards	Board	(AASB)	and	the	Corporations Act 2001

	— has	been	prepared	on	the	basis	of	historical	cost,	except	for	certain	financial	assets	and	liabilities	which	have	been	measured	at	

fair value	(Note	16)

	— complies	with	International	Financial	Reporting	Standards	as	issued	by	the	International	Accounting	Standards	Board

	— is	presented	in	Australian	Dollars

	— presents	reclassified	comparative	information	where	necessary	to	conform	to	changes	in	presentation	in	the	current	period.	

Comparative	information	was	not	restated	to	reflect	the	adoption	of	AASB	16	Leases	

	— presents	all	values	as	rounded	to	the	nearest	hundred	thousand	dollars	under	ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 

Reports) Instrument 2016/191,	unless	stated	otherwise

	— is	prepared	in	accordance	with	AASB	5	Non-current	Assets	Held	for	Sale	and	Discontinued	Operations	which	requires:

a) the	consolidated	income	statement	is	prepared	on	a	continuing	operations	basis

b) 	the	consolidated	balance	sheet	assets	and	liabilities	of	the	discontinued	operation	are	disclosed	on	separate	line	items	denoted

as	held	for	sale,	only	for	the	year	in	which	the	held	for	sale	classification	was	made	(2018)

c) the	statement	of	cash	flows	is	presented	for	the	full	Group

d) Note	12c	provides	financial	information	for	the	discontinued	operation.

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED

2019

AASB 16 Leases
The	Group	adopted	this	standard	from	1	January	2019.	The	Group	elected	to	adopt	the	modified	retrospective	approach	in	transitioning	
to	the	standard	which	means	that	there	is	no	restatement	of	comparative	information.

a) Changes to accounting

i) In general
For	a	qualifying	lease,	we	now	recognise	a	right	of	use	asset	and	lease	liability	based	on	the	present	value	of	future	lease	payments
which	excludes	payments	of	a	variable	nature.	The	nature	and	structure	of	our	lease	portfolio	is	such	that	the	interest	rates	implicit	in
the	leases	are	not	readily	determinable.	The	Group	therefore	uses	Incremental	Borrowing	Rates	(IBRs)	to	discount	the	future	value	of
lease	payments.	The	IBR	denotes	the	rate	of	interest	that	a	lessee	would	have	to	pay	to	borrow	over	a	similar	term,	with	a	similar
security,	the	funds	necessary	to	purchase	an	asset	of	a	similar	value	to	the	right	of	use	asset	in	a	similar	economic	environment.

Lease	payments	(excluding	payments	for	short-term,	low-value	and	variable	consideration	leases),	previously	expensed	within	EBIT	
on a straight-line	basis,	now	reduce	the	lease	liability.	The	straight-line	depreciation	of	the	right	of	use	asset	is	now	expensed	within	
EBIT.	As	the	lease	liability	is	carried	at	present	value,	an	interest	expense	arises	over	the	duration	of	the	lease	term.	

The	principal	component	of	lease	payments	is	reclassified	in	the	statement	of	cash	flows	from	operating	to	financing	activities.

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries

OVERVIEW	(CONTINUED)
BASIS	OF	PREPARATION	(CONTINUED)
AASB 16 Leases (continued)
ii) Transition
In	adopting	this	standard,	the	opening	lease	liability	balance	has	been	determined	as	the	present	value	of	future	lease	payments	
discounted	using	applicable	IBRs,	for	terms	which	approximate	the	remaining	lease	term	as	at	1	January	2019.

The	opening	right	of	use	assets’	balance	has	been	determined	as	follows:

	— for	the	Group’s	14	largest	property	leases,	which	represent	the	bulk	of	the	Group’s	total	leases	(by	total	committed	future	cash	flows),	
as	the	present	value	of	committed	lease	payments	since	commencement	of	the	lease,	less	cumulative	straight-line	depreciation	and	
utilising	1	January	2019	discount	rates	for	durations	equivalent	to	the	remaining	lease	term.	This	approach	results	in	an	adjustment	
to opening	accumulated	losses

	— for	all	other	leases,	as	being	equal	to	the	opening	lease	liability.

The	following	practical	expedients,	allowed	by	the	standard,	were	used:

	— exclusion	of	leases	with	remaining	terms	of	less	than	12	months,	from	the	new	accounting	requirements

	— application	of	a	single	discount	rate	to	each	portfolio	of	leases	with	reasonably	similar	characteristics

	— use	of	hindsight	to	determine	the	lease	term	for	leases	that	include	options	to	extend	or	terminate	the	lease.

The	weighted	average	IBR	applied	to	lease	liabilities	on	1	January	2019	was	3.0%.

Determination	of	the	lease	term	is	a	key	judgement	exercised	by	management	on	a	recurring	basis.	In	determining	the	lease	term,	
management	considers	all	facts	and	circumstances	that	create	an	economic	incentive	to	exercise	an	extension	option,	or	not	to	
exercise	a	termination	option.

Extension	options	(or	periods	after	termination	options)	are	only	included	in	the	lease	term	if	the	lease	is	reasonably	certain	to	be	
extended	(or	not	terminated).

b) Financial impacts

The	impacts	on	the	financial	statements	and	notes	as	at	and	for	the	year	ended	31	December	2019	are	shown	throughout	this	report.	
At the	date	of	transition,	the	new	standard	resulted	in	the	following	increases:

1	 Under	the	previous	standard,	operating	lease	expenses	were	recognised	within	EBIT.	Under	the	new	standard,	lease	expenses	are	recognised	in	

the income	statement	and	comprise	depreciation	of	right	of	use	assets	recognised	within	EBIT	and	interest	expenses	arising	from	lease	liabilities	
recognised	within	net	finance	costs.

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
The	Group	adopted	this	interpretation	from	1	January	2019.	The	introduction	of	this	standard	did	not	have	any	material	impact	on	the	
Group’s	financial	statements	and	accordingly,	there	are	no	retrospective	adjustments.

2018

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The	Group	adopted	this	standard	from	1	January	2018.	The	introduction	of	this	standard	did	not	have	any	material	impact	on	the	
Group’s	financial	statements	and	accordingly,	there	are	no	retrospective	adjustments.

Additional	disclosures	of	the	Group’s	unchanged	revenue	accounting	policies	as	required	by	the	standard	are	included	in	Note	2.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
The	Group	had	previously	early	adopted	AASB	9	Financial	Instruments	–	2013,	which	was	otherwise	required	to	be	adopted	from	
1 January	2018.	The	Group	has	adopted	AASB	9	Financial	Instruments	–	Impairment	–	2014,	from	1	January	2018.	In	adopting	this	
standard,	allowances	for	doubtful	debts	increased	by	$5.8	million,	resulting	in	a	decrease	in	deferred	tax	liabilities	of	$1.7	million	and	
an increase	in	opening	accumulated	losses	of	$4.1	million	as	at	1	January	2018.	These	adjustments	arose	from	moving	to	an	expected	
credit	losses	approach	for	allowances	for	doubtful	debts,	as	required	by	the	new	accounting	standard.	This	change	had	an	immaterial	
impact	on	the	Group’s	income	statement	for	the	year	ended	31	December	2018.

USE OF ESTIMATES
In	applying	the	Group’s	accounting	policies,	management	has	made	a	number	of	estimates	and	assumptions	concerning	the	future.	
The key	estimates	and	assumptions	that	are	material	to	the	financial	statements	relate	to	the	following	areas:

	— estimation	of	useful	lives	of	property,	plant	and	equipment	and	intangible	assets,	refer	to	Notes	7	and	9

	— impairment	testing	of	goodwill	and	indefinite	life	intangible	assets,	refer	to	Note	10

	— income	tax,	refer	to	Note	11

	— accruals	for	rebates	and	promotional	allowances,	refer	to	Note	6c

	— net	assets	held	for	sale,	refer	to	Note	12c.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

SUBSIDIARIES

The	consolidated	financial	statements	of	the	Group	comprise	those	of	the	parent	entity,	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited,	and	its	subsidiaries.	
The	Group	controls	an	entity	when	it	has	power	over	the	entity,	is	exposed	to,	and	has	the	rights	to,	variable	returns	from	its	
involvement	with	that	entity	and	has	the	ability	to	affect	those	returns.	

In	preparing	the	consolidated	financial	statements,	the	effects	of	all	intra-group	transactions,	balances	and	unrealised	gains	and	losses	
on	transactions	between	entities	in	the	Group	have	been	eliminated.	The	financial	statements	of	subsidiaries	have	been	prepared	for	
the	same	reporting	period	as	that	of	the	parent	entity,	using	consistent	accounting	policies.	Adjustments	are	made	to	bring	into	line	
any dissimilar	accounting	policies	that	may	exist.

NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS (NCIs)

The	Group	measures	NCIs	at	their	proportionate	share	of	the	subsidiary’s	identifiable	net	assets,	results	for	the	year	and	movements	
in reserves.	Changes	in	the	Group’s	ownership	interest	in	a	subsidiary	that	do	not	result	in	a	loss	of	control	are	accounted	for	in	equity	
as	transactions	with	Shareholders.

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries

OVERVIEW	(CONTINUED)
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Both	the	functional	and	presentation	currency	of	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	and	its	Australian	subsidiaries	is	the	Australian	dollar.	
Each entity	in	the	Group	determines	its	own	functional	currency,	reflecting	the	currency	of	the	primary	economic	environment	in	which	
it	operates.

Transactions	in	foreign	currencies	are	initially	recorded	in	the	functional	currency	by	applying	the	exchange	rate	ruling	at	the	date	of	
the transaction.	Monetary	assets	and	liabilities	denominated	in	foreign	currencies	are	retranslated	at	the	rate	of	exchange	ruling	at	
the reporting	date.	Exchange	rate	gains	or	losses	arising	from	the	application	of	these	procedures	are	taken	to	the	income	statement.

Non-monetary	items	that	are	measured	in	terms	of	historical	cost	in	a	foreign	currency	are	translated	using	the	exchange	rate	as	at	the	
date	of	the	initial	transaction.	Non-monetary	items	measured	at	fair	value	in	a	foreign	currency	are	translated	using	the	exchange	rate	
at	the	date	when	the	fair	value	was	determined.

The	assets	and	liabilities	of	foreign	subsidiaries	are	translated	into	Australian	dollars	by	applying	the	rate	ruling	at	balance	date	and	
revenue	and	expense	items	are	translated	at	the	average	rate	calculated	for	the	period.	Transactions	in	equity	are	translated	by	applying	
the	rate	ruling	on	the	date	of	the	transaction	with	no	subsequent	revaluation.	The	exchange	differences	arising	from	translation	of	the	
financial	statements	of	foreign	subsidiaries	at	these	various	exchange	rates	are	recognised	in	other	comprehensive	income	within	the	
foreign	currency	translation	reserve.	When	a	foreign	operation	is	sold,	the	associated	exchange	differences	are	reclassified	to	the	
income	statement	as	part	of	the	gain	or	loss	on	sale.

	SEGMENT	REPORTING

I  OUR RESULTS
1	
We	operate	in	a	number	of	segments,	based	on	results	that	are	reported	to	the	Group	Managing	Director.	The	Australia,	New	Zealand	&	
Fiji,	and	Indonesia	&	Papua	New	Guinea	Non-Alcohol	Beverages	segments	manufacture,	distribute,	market	and	sell	sparkling	beverages	
and	other	non-alcohol	beverages.	The	Alcohol	&	Coffee	Beverages	segment	manufactures,	distributes,	markets	and	sells	alcohol	and	
coffee	products.	The	Corporate	&	Services	segment	includes	other	non-individually	reportable	businesses	and	comprises	of	the	
corporate	office	function	for	the	Group,	management	of	key	property	assets	of	Australia	and	New	Zealand	and	the	provision	of	certain	
support	services	to	the	Group	and	third-party	customer	businesses.	The	majority	of	the	Group’s	revenues	are	recognised	at	the	point	
in time	at	which	products	are	delivered	to	the	customer.

SPC	results	were	previously	reported	under	the	Corporate,	Food	&	Services	segment.	Following	the	decision	to	divest	the	business	in	
2018,	SPC	results	and	net	assets	which	were	designated	as	held	for	sale	in	2018	were	excluded	and	reported	separately	in	Note	12c	
Discontinued	Operation.

The	Group’s	financial	statements	are	affected	by	seasonality	depending	on	the	timing	of	certain	festivities	in	the	different	countries	
within	which	Coca	Cola	Amatil	operates.	Typically,	revenue,	earnings	and	operating	cash	flows	of	Australian	and	New	Zealand-based	
operations	are	greater	in	the	second	half	of	the	financial	year	due	to	the	Christmas	holiday	trading	period,	which	can	lead	to	associated	
effects	on	working	capital	components.	Similarly,	the	Ramadan	period	positively	impacts	the	timing	of	the	Indonesian	business’s	
financial	performance	within	the	financial	year.

Segment	revenue	is	evaluated	with	reference	to	trading	revenue.	Segment	results	are	evaluated	on	an	earnings	before	interest,	tax	and	
non-trading	items	basis.	Segment	net	assets	include	Net	assets	–	Operating	and	Investing	amounts	(which	excludes	net	debt).	Net	debt	
comprises	of	cash	assets,	held	to	maturity	investments,	interest	bearing	receivables,	borrowings,	debt	related	derivative	assets	and	
liabilities,	and	other	financial	and	lease	liabilities.	The	Group	manages	its	net	debt,	net	finance	costs	and	income	taxes	on	a	Group	
basis,	and	these	measures	are	therefore	not	reported	internally	at	a	segment	level.	Inter-segment	transactions	are	conducted	on	normal	
commercial	terms	and	conditions.

INCOME STATEMENT DISCLOSURE

Profit	before	income	tax	from	continuing	operations	includes	the	following	specific	expenses	
(excluding	non-trading	items):

Remuneration	and	on-costs

Defined	contribution	and	defined	benefit	superannuation	expenses

Share-based	payments	expense

Employee	related	costs

Finance	costs

Finance	costs	–	lease	liabilities

Depreciation	expense1

Amortisation	expense

5,112.1

4,802.0

1	 2019	includes	depreciation	expense	–	right	of	use	assets	of	$68.9	million.

The	Group	earned	33.5%	(2018:	35.6%)	of	its	trading	revenue	from	continuing	operations	from	its	top	three	customers	mainly	in	
Australia,	being	Woolworths	Limited,	Coles	Group	Limited	and	Metcash	Limited	(2018:	Woolworths	Limited,	Wesfarmers	Limited	and	
Metcash	Limited).	

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Sale of products
The	Group	sells	a	range	of	beverage	products	to	wholesale,	retail	and	consumer	customers.	A	sale	is	recognised	when	control	of	the	
product	has	transferred,	being	when	the	product	is	delivered	to	the	customer	and	there	is	no	unfulfilled	obligation	that	could	affect	the	
customer’s	acceptance	of	the	products.	Delivery	occurs	when	the	product	has	been	shipped	to	the	location	specified	by	the	customer	
and	the	customer	accepts	the	product	in	accordance	with	agreed	arrangements.

Revenue	from	sales	is	recognised	based	on	the	contract	agreed	between	the	customer	and	Coca-Cola	Amatil.	Contracts	do	not	commit	
customers	to	purchasing	anything	nor	commit	Coca-Cola	Amatil	to	deliver	the	same	but	set	out	the	terms	and	conditions	that	apply	
between	the	parties	at	the	time	an	order	is	placed	by	a	customer	and	accepted	by	Coca-Cola	Amatil.	The	terms	and	conditions	cover	
a range	of	conditions	including	pricing,	settlement	of	liabilities,	return	policies,	provision	and	servicing	of	equipment	and	any	other	
negotiated	performance	obligations.	

No	element	of	financing	is	present	in	the	pricing	arrangement.	Settlement	terms	range	from	cash-on-delivery	to	credit	terms	ranging	
from	7	to	90	days.	Terms	reflect	negotiations	with	customers,	policies,	procedures	and	controls	held	by	each	business	as	it	relates	to	
customer	credit	risk.

For	customers	who	purchase	on	credit,	a	receivable	is	recognised	when	the	products	are	delivered	as	this	is	the	point	in	time	that	the	
consideration	is	unconditional	because	only	the	passage	of	time	is	required	before	the	payment	is	due.	

Rental of equipment and service fees
The	Group	earns	revenue	from	renting	equipment	that	is	used	to	dispense	certain	of	its	beverage	products	purchased	by	the	customer.	
Rental	agreements	generally	range	from	12	to	24	months	in	duration	and	revenue	is	recognised	on	a	straight-line	basis	over	the	term.	
Rental	paid	in	advance	is	not	recognised	as	revenue	until	the	period	the	payment	relates	to	has	passed.

Service	fee	revenue	mainly	arises	from	container	recycling	services	provided	to	manufacturers	and	distributors	of	eligible	containers	in	
certain	Australian	jurisdictions.	Revenue	is	based	on	the	volume	of	containers	processed	and	is	recognised	as	the	service	is	delivered.

Financing components
As	the	Group	does	not	have	any	contracts	where	the	period	between	the	transfer	of	the	promised	product	or	services	to	the	customer	
and	payment	by	the	customer	exceeds	one	year,	it	does	not	adjust	any	of	the	transaction	prices	for	the	time	value	of	money.	

b) Non-trading items

Transactions	which	are	material	to	the	financial	statements	individually	or	in	aggregate	and	
are	either	non-recurring	or	arise	from	activities	other	than	those	associated	with	Coca-Cola	
Amatil’s	ordinary	trading	activities	are	classified	as	non-trading	items.	Such	transactions	are	
included	in	the	support	services	and	other	expenses,	net	finance	costs	and	income	tax	
expense	line	items	within	the	income	statement.

Profit	before	income	tax1	from	continuing	operations	includes	the	following	amounts	
(by	nature),	which	are	classified	as	non-trading	items:

Gain	from	property	sales

Redundancy	employee	costs

Impairment	of	non-current	assets

Accelerated	depreciation	expense	–	plant	and	equipment

Other	net	expenses

1	 Refer	to	Note	11a	for	details	of	income	tax	on	non-trading	items.

These	amounts	have	arisen	mainly	due	to:

	— sale	of	remainder	of	the	Thebarton,	South	Australia	property	following	closure	of	manufacturing	operations.	(2018:	First	lot	of	the	

Thebarton	site,	a	surplus	property	in	Auckland,	New	Zealand	and	sale	and	leaseback	of	the	Kewdale,	Western	Australia	
manufacturing	and	warehousing	site)

	— the	Australian	beverages	and	Alcohol	&	Coffee	businesses	continuing	transformation	activities	through	implementing	new	and	

revised	organisation	designs	across	most	functional	areas	

	— impairment	of	various	under-performing	investment	($5.6	million)	and	plant	and	equipment	($8.7	million)	assets	mainly	in	Australia	

and	Alcohol	&	Coffee	

	— accelerated	depreciation	charges	(2018)	and	other	costs	relating	to	the	Thebarton	site	closure

	— costs	associated	with	implementation	of	container	deposit	schemes

	— 2018	included	a	non-recurring	amount	of	interest	income	relating	to	a	cross	currency	swap.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Trade	and	other	receivables	are	recognised	at	the	face	value	of	amounts	due	less	an	allowance	for	doubtful	receivables.	Doubtful	
receivables	are	determined	using	an	expected	credit	loss	approach	whereby	trade	and	other	receivables	that	share	the	same	or	similar	
credit	risk	characteristics	and	debt	ageing	are	grouped	and	then	assessed	for	collectability	as	a	whole.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Carrying value and depreciation
Property,	plant	and	equipment	assets	are	stated	at	cost	less	accumulated	depreciation	and	impairment.	Cost	includes	the	transfer		
from	equity	of	gains	or	losses	from	cash	flow	hedges	undertaken	for	the	purchases	of	property,	plant	and	equipment.	Subsequent	
expenditure	is	capitalised	when	it	is	probable	that	future	economic	benefits	associated	with	the	expenditure	will	flow	to	the	Group.	
Property,	plant	and	equipment	assets,	other	than	land,	are	depreciated	on	a	straight-line	basis	over	the	estimated	useful	lives	of	the	
assets	and	are	tested	for	impairment	when	there	is	any	indication	of	impairment.	Useful	life	details	of	these	assets	were	as	follows:

Buildings	and	leasehold	improvements

Plant	and	equipment

20	to	50	years

2	to	25	years

An	item	of	property,	plant	and	equipment	is	derecognised	upon	its	disposal.	Any	gain	or	loss	arising	on	derecognition	(calculated	by	
deducting	the	carrying	amount	and	costs	of	disposal	from	proceeds)	is	included	in	the	income	statement	in	that	financial	year.

Impairment
Property,	plant	and	equipment	are	tested	for	impairment	in	accordance	with	the	policy	for	impairment	testing	disclosed	in	Note	10.	
An impairment	loss	is	recognised	when	the	carrying	amount	of	property,	plant	and	equipment	exceeds	its	recoverable	amount,	which	
is defined	as	the	greater	of	an	asset’s	fair	value	less	costs	to	sell,	or	value	in	use.

KEY ESTIMATES 

Useful	lives	of	assets	are	generally	estimated	based	on	historical	experience.	However,	the	future	utilisation	of	assets	is	reviewed	
annually	and	considered	against	their	remaining	useful	life	with	adjustments	made	when	deemed	necessary.

Short-term leases
In	addition	to	payments	made	for	leases	with	terms	of	less	than	12	months,	this	disclosure	amount	also	includes	(and	is	mainly	
represented	by)	the	fixed	component	of	lease	payments	made	for	Australian	product	transportation	services	under	contracts	with	less	
than	12	months	remaining	from	the	date	of	transition	to	the	new	standard.	Such	payments	ordinarily	fall	into	the	new	lease	accounting	
requirements;	however,	Amatil	applied	the	practical	expedient	available	on	transition	which	permitted	such	amounts	to	be	treated	as	
short-term	leases.

Variable leases
This	amount	mainly	consists	of	the	variable	component	of	lease	payments	made	for	the	abovementioned	product	transportation	
services,	whereby	these	components	are	dependent	on	various	factors	such	as	number	of	cases	of	product	delivered,	number	of	trips	
and	pallets.	Generally,	the	majority	of	these	contracts	are	structured	in	a	manner	such	that	payments	are	dependent	or	linked	to	these	
factors,	hence	making	these	leases	mainly	variable	in	nature.

The	total	cash	outflow	for	leases	(including	short-term,	low-value	and	variable	leases)	in	2019	was	$261.8	million.

For	details	on	the	overall	transition	methodology	and	implementation	of	AASB	16	Leases	by	Amatil,	please	refer	to	pages	105	to	107.

Indefinite	life	intangible	assets,	except	for	goodwill,	are	recognised	initially	at	the	date	of	acquisition	at	their	fair	value	which	is	deemed	
to	be	cost.

Investments in bottlers’ agreements (IBAs)
We	have	a	number	of	bottling	agreements	with	The	Coca-Cola	Company	(TCCC)	which	provide	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	with	the	
exclusive	rights	to	prepare,	package,	distribute	and	sell	TCCC	branded	products	in	each	of	the	six	countries	in	which	Coca-Cola	Amatil	
Limited	operates.

The	agreements	are	for	mainly	10-year	terms	and	reflect	the	long	and	ongoing	relationship	between	the	Group	and	TCCC.	
No	consideration	is	payable	upon	renewal	or	extension	of	the	agreements.

In	assessing	the	useful	life	of	the	agreements,	consideration	is	given	to	the	Group’s	history	of	dealings	with	TCCC	since	1939,	their	
established	international	practices	and	equity	interests	in	the	Group,	participation	of	nominees	of	TCCC	on	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	
Board	of	Directors	and	the	ongoing	profitability	of	TCCC	brands.	Accordingly,	no	factor	can	be	identified	that	would	result	in	the	
agreements	not	being	renewed	or	extended	and	therefore	the	agreements	have	been	assessed	as	having	indefinite	useful	lives,	which	
require	annual	impairment	testing.

Goodwill
Goodwill	is	the	excess	of	the	cost	of	a	business	acquisition	over	the	fair	value	of	net	assets	acquired.	Goodwill	is	not	amortised	but	is	
tested	annually	for	impairment.

Methodology

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)

Definite lives

Definite	life	intangible	assets	are	recognised	at	cost.	Assets	acquired	in	a	business	acquisition	are	recognised	at	the	date	of	acquisition	
at	fair	value,	which	is	deemed	to	be	cost.	Following	initial	recognition,	intangible	assets	are	amortised	on	a	straight-line	basis	over	their	
useful	lives	and	tested	for	impairment	when	there	is	any	indication	of	impairment.	Useful	life	details	for	these	assets	are	as	follows:

Brand	names	and	trademarks

Software	development	and	other	assets

40	to	50	years

3	to	14	years

Any	gain	or	loss	arising	on	derecognition	(calculated	by	deducting	the	carrying	amount	and	costs	of	disposal	from	proceeds)	is	included	
in	the	income	statement	in	that	financial	year.

Impairment

Management	uses	the	‘value-in-use’	approach	to	determine	the	recoverable	value	of	each	cash	generating	unit	(CGU).	The	value		
is	based	on	the	net	present	value	of	a	5-year	forecast	plus	a	terminal	value	estimation	using	appropriate	perpetuity	growth	rates.	

The	5-year	cashflow	forecast	is	based	on:

	— 3-year	Board	approved	business	plans,	risk	adjusted	based	on	an	assessment	of	the	historical	trends	and	level	of	accuracy	

of previous	forecasts

	— an	assessment	of	sustainable	growth	for	years	4	and	5	based	on	the	risk	adjusted	trend	for	the	first	3	years
	— a	terminal	growth	based	an	assessment	of	inflation	and	perpetual	growth	using	market	and	economic	data.

For	the	years	beyond	the	3-year	business	plans	the	forecast	takes	into	consideration	the	following	key	inputs:

	— Volumes	–	non-alcohol	ready	to	drink	(NARTD)	market	growth	and	share	data	(by	category	for	Australia	and	Indonesia)	and	

gross domestic	product	(GDP)	growth	externally	sourced

	— Pricing	–	long-term	inflation	rates,	level	of	market	competitiveness	and	trends
	— EBIT	Margin	–	historic	and	forecast	trends,	and	management	view	of	long-term	sustainable	margin
	— Capital	expenditure	–	percentage	of	forecast	sales	taking	into	account	capacity	requirements	and	age	of	assets
	— Working	capital	movement	–	percentage	of	sales	adjusted	for	trends.

Intangible	assets	are	tested	for	impairment	in	accordance	with	the	policy	for	impairment	testing	assets	disclosed	in	Note	10.	In	the	case	
of	definite	life	intangible	assets	where	an	impairment	indicator	exists,	an	impairment	loss	is	recognised	when	the	carrying	amount	of	
the	assets	exceeds	its	recoverable	amount,	which	is	defined	as	the	greater	of	an	asset’s	fair	value	less	costs	to	sell,	or	value	in	use.

Discount rates

KEY ESTIMATES 

Useful	lives	of	assets	are	generally	estimated	based	on	historical	experience.	However,	the	condition	and	future	utilisation	of	
assets	are	reviewed	annually	and	considered	against	their	remaining	useful	life	with	adjustments	made	when	deemed	necessary.

10		 IMPAIRMENT	TESTING

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

At	each	reporting	date,	we	assess	whether	there	is	an	indication	that	an	asset	may	be	impaired.	Where	an	indicator	of	impairment	exists	
or	where	annual	impairment	testing	for	an	asset	is	required,	we	make	a	formal	estimate	of	its	recoverable	amount.	An	impairment	loss	
will	be	recognised	in	the	income	statement	for	the	amount	by	which	the	carrying	value	of	an	asset	exceeds	the	recoverable	amount,	
which	is	defined	as	the	greater	of	an	asset’s	fair	value	less	costs	to	sell,	or	value	in	use.	Non	financial	assets,	other	than	goodwill,	that	
suffered	an	impairment	in	prior	periods	are	reviewed	for	possible	reversal	of	the	impairment	at	each	reporting	date.

Discount	rates	applied	to	our	forecast	cash	flows	represent	the	weighted	average	cost	of	capital	(WACC)	for	the	Group	in	relation	
to	each	CGU,	risk	adjusted	where	applicable.	The	local	discount	rates	used	are	provided	in	the	table	below:

Impact of possible changes in key assumptions 

Indonesia

The	recoverable	amount	of	the	Indonesian	CGU	is	estimated	to	be	5%	above	the	carrying	amount,	which	would	be	eliminated	if	the	
average	annual	revenue	growth	for	the	5-year	forecast	period	was	reduced	by	0.3%	from	6.4%	to	6.1%,	the	discount	rate	increased	
by 0.4%	from	11.9%	to	12.3%	or	the	real	terminal	growth	rate	decreased	by	0.5%	from	1.0%	to	0.5%.

Other CGUs

Based	on	current	economic	conditions	and	performances	of	our	other	CGUs,	there	are	no	reasonably	possible	changes	in	key	
assumptions	used	to	determine	recoverable	amounts	which	would	could	cause	recoverable	amounts	to	decline	below	the	carrying	
amounts	for	the	CGUs.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Current tax
Current	tax	asset	or	liability	represents	amounts	receivable	or	payable	in	relation	to	income	taxes	attributable	to	taxable	profits	of	the	
current	or	prior	financial	years,	less	instalments	of	income	tax	paid.	The	tax	rates	and	laws	used	to	compute	current	taxes	are	those	
that	are	enacted	or	substantially	enacted	as	at	the	reporting	date.

Deferred tax
Deferred	tax	balances	arise	when	there	are	temporary	differences	between	accounting	carrying	amounts	and	the	tax	bases	of	assets	
and	liabilities,	other	than	for	the	following:

	— where	the	difference	arises	from	the	initial	recognition	of	an	asset	or	liability	in	a	transaction	that	is	not	an	acquisition	of	a	business	

and	affects	neither	the	accounting	profit	nor	taxable	profit	or	loss

	— where	temporary	differences	relate	to	investments	in	subsidiaries	to	the	extent	the	Group	is	able	to	control	the	timing	of	the	reversal	

of	the	temporary	differences	and	it	is	probable	that	they	will	not	reverse	in	the	foreseeable	future.

Deferred	tax	assets	are	recognised	for	deductible	temporary	differences	and	unused	tax	losses	only	if	it	is	probable	that	future	taxable	
amounts	will	be	available	to	utilise	those	temporary	differences	and	losses.	The	carrying	amount	of	deferred	tax	assets	is	reviewed	at	
each	reporting	date	and	reduced	to	the	extent	that	it	is	no	longer	probable	that	the	related	tax	benefit	will	be	realised.

Deferred	tax	assets	and	liabilities	are	offset	only	when	there	is	a	legally	enforceable	right	to	offset	current	tax	assets	and	liabilities	and	
when	the	deferred	tax	balances	relate	to	the	same	taxation	authority.

Australian tax consolidation
Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	has	a	consolidated	group	for	income	tax	purposes	with	each	of	its	wholly-owned	Australian	subsidiaries.	The	
entities	within	the	tax	consolidated	group	have	entered	a	tax	funding	agreement	whereby	each	subsidiary	will	compensate	Coca-Cola	
Amatil	Limited	for	the	amount	of	tax	payable	that	would	be	calculated	as	if	the	subsidiary	was	a	taxpaying	entity.

Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited,	as	the	head	entity,	and	the	subsidiaries	in	the	tax	consolidated	group	continue	to	account	for	their	own	current	
and	deferred	tax	amounts.	The	amounts	are	measured	as	if	each	entity	in	the	tax	consolidated	group	continues	to	be	a	stand-alone	
taxpayer	in	its	own	right.	The	current	tax	balances	are	then	transferred	to	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	via	intercompany	balances.	

Tax reviews
Coca-Cola	Amatil	is	subject	to	regular	tax	reviews	across	our	jurisdictions	and	interacts	with	tax	authorities	on	a	range	of	issues	as		
part	of	the	ongoing	operations	of	these	tax	authorities.	In	Australia,	the	Australian	Taxation	Office	(ATO)	rates	Coca-Cola	Amatil	as	
a ‘key	taxpayer’	and	it	is	subject	to	the	ATO’s	‘Top	100’	assurance	program	using	its	justified	trust	methodology.	At	present,	Coca-Cola	
Amatil	is	subject	to	ATO	audits/reviews	of	income	tax	and	excise.	There	are	also	ongoing	audits/reviews	in	Indonesia	and	Papua	New	
Guinea	by	their	respective	tax	authorities.	At	present,	Coca-Cola	Amatil	has	not	received	notification	of	any	material	assessments	from	
any	tax	authority	in	the	jurisdictions	in	which	it	operates.	In	addition,	Coca-Cola	Amatil	has	responded	to	increased	government	and	
stakeholder	focus	by	publishing	an	annual	Tax	Transparency	Report	in	accordance	with	the	terms	of	the	Australian	Voluntary	Tax	
Transparency	Code.

KEY ESTIMATES 

In	determining	the	Group’s	deferred	tax	assets	and	liabilities,	management	is	required	to	make	an	estimate	about	the	availability	
of	future	taxable	profits	and	cash	flows.	Changes	in	circumstances	will	alter	expectations,	which	may	impact	the	amount	of	tax	
losses	and	temporary	differences	not	yet	recognised.

The	details	of	unrecognised	deductible	temporary	differences	are	as	follows:

sufficiently	probable	and	therefore	no	deferred	tax	benefit	has	been	recognised.

12a DEFINED BENEFIT SUPERANNUATION PLANS
We	sponsor	a	number	of	superannuation	plans	that	incorporate	defined	contribution	and	defined	benefit	categories.	The	defined	
benefit	plans	are	the	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Superannuation	Plan	(CCASP),	which	is	predominantly	Australia-based,	and	the	CCBI	
Superannuation	Plan	(CCBISP),	which	is	Indonesia-based	(collectively	Plans).	The	defined	benefit	category	for	the	CCASP	is	closed	
to new	entrants.	The	Plans	provide	benefits	for	employees	or	their	dependants	on	retirement,	resignation	or	death.	In	the	majority	of	
cases,	this	takes	the	form	of	lump	sum	payments.

The	obligation	to	contribute	to	the	Plans	is	covered	by	a	combination	of	trust	deeds,	legislation	and	regulatory	requirements.	Contributions	
are	made	at	levels	necessary	to	ensure	the	Plans	have	sufficient	assets	to	meet	their	vested	benefit	obligations.	The	rate	of	contribution	is	
based	on	a	percentage	of	employees’	salaries	and	wages	and	is	regularly	reviewed	and	adjusted	based	on	actuarial	advice.

Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	contributions	are	agreed	between	the	Plan	trustees	and	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited,	following	advice	from	
the	Plan	actuary	at	least	every	three	years	(or	more	frequently	if	circumstances	require).

Vested	benefit	obligations	represent	the	estimated	total	amount	that	the	Plans	would	be	required	to	pay	if	all	defined	benefit	members	
were	to	voluntarily	leave	the	Plans	on	the	particular	valuation	date.	However,	the	liability	recognised	in	the	balance	sheet	is	based	on	
the	projected	benefit	obligation	which	represents	the	present	value	of	employee	benefits	accrued	to	date,	assuming	that	employees	
will	continue	to	work	and	be	members	of	the	Plans	until	their	exit.	The	projected	benefit	obligation	takes	into	account	future	increases	
in	an	employee’s	salary	and	provides	a	longer-term	view	of	the	financial	position	of	the	Plans.

i) MATURITY PROFILE OF DEFINED BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

The	weighted	average	durations	of	the	defined	benefit	obligation	for	CCASP	and	CCBISP	are	7.2	and	8.2	years	respectively.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Current	and	adjusted	prior	period	related	service	costs	are	recognised	in	the	income	statement	as	they	accrue.	Interest	is	recognised	in	
the	income	statement	for	implied	returns	on	plan	assets	(interest	income),	and	for	changes	in	the	time	value	of	plan	obligations	(interest	
expense),	using	the	applicable	discount	rate.	Revaluation	adjustments	arising	from	changes	in	actuarial	assumptions,	and	differences	
between	actual	and	implied	returns	on	plan	assets	are	recognised	in	other	comprehensive	income	within	the	actuarial	valuation	reserve.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Employee benefits
Employee	benefits	provisions	include	liabilities	for	benefits	accumulated	as	a	result	of	employees	rendering	services	up	to	balance	
date,	including	related	on-costs,	in	relation	to	annual,	sick,	long	service	and	other	leave,	incentives,	termination	and	other	benefits.	
These	benefits	are	charged	to	the	income	statement	when	services	are	provided	and	to	the	extent	the	benefits	are	expected	to	vest	
with	employees.	Employee	benefits	provisions	are	measured	at	remuneration	rates	expected	to	be	applicable	to	future	payments	which	
settle	these	liabilities	and	are	discounted	back	to	the	reporting	date	using	market	yields	on	corporate	bonds	with	maturities	aligned	to	
the	estimated	timing	of	settlement	payments.	

Termination	benefits	included	in	employee	benefits	are	recognised	as	an	expense	when	the	Group	is	committed	to	a	formal	detailed	
plan	to	terminate	employees	before	their	normal	retirement	date,	and	the	Group	can	no	longer	withdraw	the	termination	offer.

SALE OF SPC

On	30	November	2018,	the	Group	announced	that	the	2018	strategic	review	of	SPC	had	concluded	with	a	decision	to	proceed	toward	
divestment.	The	associated	assets	and	liabilities	were	consequently	presented	as	held	for	sale	in	the	2018	financial	statements	and	
assessed	for	impairment	in	accordance	with	accounting	standards,	resulting	in	the	net	assets	being	reduced	to	a	nil	carrying	amount.	

On	28	June	2019,	the	sale	of	the	business	was	completed	and	financial	information	relating	to	the	discontinued	operation	is	set	out	below:

KEY ESTIMATES 
Assets	held	for	sale	are	carried	at	the	lower	of	carrying	value	or	fair	value	less	costs	to	sell.	Judgement	is	required	to	determine	the	
fair	value	less	costs	to	sell	of	certain	assets.	During	the	comparative	period	the	net	assets	of	SPC	were	classified	as	held	for	sale	
with	the	net	assets	to	be	sold	impaired	to	$nil.	In	determining	the	fair	value	less	costs	to	sell	for	the	SPC	net	assets,	consideration	
was	given	to	non-binding	sales	offers	and	costs	of	disposal	which	are	inherently	subject	to	estimation	and	therefore	actual	
outcomes	may	vary	on	sale	completion.

III	 OUR	CAPITAL	–	FINANCING	
HOW	THE	GROUP	MANAGES	ITS	CAPITAL	–	FINANCING
We	manage	our	capital	to	ensure	that	entities	in	the	Group	have	continued	access	to	funding	to	support	the	business	activities	and	
strategies	of	the	Group	while	maximising	returns	to	Shareholders	through	the	optimisation	of	net	debt	and	equity	balances.

Our	capital	is	equity	plus	net	debt.	Net	debt	is	calculated	as	the	sum	of	borrowings,	debt	related	derivatives	and	other	financial	and	
lease	liabilities,	less	cash	assets	and	held	to	maturity	investments.

In	order	to	maintain	or	adjust	our	capital	structure,	the	Group	may	undertake	certain	activities	such	as	adjusting	the	amount	of	
dividends	paid	to	Shareholders,	return	equity	to	Shareholders,	issue	new	shares	or	buy	back	existing	shares.	The	Group	continuously	
reviews	the	capital	structure	to	ensure	that:

	— sufficient	finance	for	the	business	is	maintained	at	a	reasonable	cost

	— 	sufficient	funds	are	available	for	the	business	to	carry	out	its	investing	activities,	such	as	purchasing	of	property,	plant	and	

equipment	and	acquisitions	of	businesses

	— distributions	to	Shareholders	are	maintained	within	stated	dividend	policy	parameters

	— where	funds	are	or	will	be	in	excess	to	that	required	to	enact	the	Group’s	business	strategies,	the	return	of	equity	funds	to	

Shareholders	is	considered.

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF RESERVES

Foreign currency translation 
This	reserve	aggregates	the	translation	differences	arising	from	the	translation	of	the	financial	statements	of	foreign	subsidiaries	as	
described	in	the	foreign	currency	translation	policy	described	in	the	overview	on	page	108.

Share-based remuneration 
This	reserve	is	used	to	record	obligations	to	provide	employees	with	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	ordinary	shares	in	accordance	with	
employee	ownership	plans	(including	tax	effects).	Refer	to	Notes	13b	and	18	for	further	information	regarding	treasury	shares	and	
employee	ownership	plans	respectively.

General
This	reserve	relates	to	The	Coca-Cola	Company’s	29.4%	investment	in	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	Indonesian	business	(PT	Coca-Cola	
Bottling	Indonesia),	which	arose	from	the	2015	transaction	between	equity	holders	of	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	and	recognised	in	
reserves.

Actuarial valuation
This	reserve	is	used	to	record	movements	in	defined	benefit	superannuation	plan	assets	and	liabilities	due	to	revaluations	arising	from	
changes	in	actuarial	assumptions	and	differences	between	actual	and	implied	returns	on	plan	assets	(including	tax	effects).	Refer	to	
Note	12a	for	further	information.

Cash flow hedging 
This	reserve	is	mainly	used	to	record	the	revaluation	impact	of	recognising	financial	assets	and	liabilities	at	fair	value	(including	tax	
effects)	where	these	financial	assets	and	liabilities	are	used	as	cash	flow	hedges	and	qualify	for	hedge	accounting.	Refer	to	Note	14d	
for	further	information.

Cash	assets	comprises	cash	on	hand,	cash	at	banks	and	short-term	deposits	with	a	maturity	of	one	year	or	less	that	are	repayable	to	
the	Group	on	demand	and	are	subject	to	an	insignificant	risk	of	changes	in	value.	

Cash	at	bank	earns	interest	at	floating	rates	based	on	daily	bank	deposit	rates.

Short-term	deposits	are	made	for	varying	periods,	depending	on	the	near-term	cash	requirements	of	the	Group	and	earn	interest	at	the	
respective	short-term	deposit	rates.

RESTRICTIONS ON CASH HELD IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA 

As	at	31	December	2019,	Coca-Cola	Amatil’s	Papua	New	Guinea	business	had	local	currency	(Kina)	denominated	cash	assets	and	
funds	in	held	to	maturity	investments	of	$213.9	million	(PGK	508.2	million)	(2018:	$291.1	million	(PGK	692.5	million)).	Presently,	there	are	
Papua	New	Guinean	government-imposed	currency	controls	which	impact	the	extent	to	which	the	cash	held	in	Papua	New	Guinea	can	
be	remitted	for	use	elsewhere	in	the	Group.

derivatives	–	debt	related;	refer	to	note	14d.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Borrowings	are	initially	recognised	at	fair	value	at	settlement	date	and	subsequently	at	amortised	cost	using	the	effective	interest	
method,	net	of	associated	transaction	costs.	Borrowings	are	derecognised	when	the	obligation	under	the	liability	is	discharged,	
cancelled	or	expired.

14c OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

COLLATERAL

The	Group,	as	part	of	its	capital	and	risk	management	strategy,	uses	financial	instruments	to	hedge	the	Group’s	exposure	to	adverse	
fluctuations	in	market	risks.	The	hedges	are	marked-to-market,	to	determine	fair	value,	at	regular	intervals	to	test	for	hedge	
effectiveness	between	the	underlying	hedged	item	and	the	hedging	instrument.	

Due	to	changes	in	the	fair	value	of	the	hedge	contracts	and	to	minimise	the	impact	of	credit	default,	the	Group	received	$90.3	million	
(USD	63.0	million)	as	cash	collateral	pledged	from	external	counterparties	(2018:	$67.9	million	(USD	48.0	million)).	Coca-Cola	Amatil	
Limited	holds	the	collateral	under	agreements	to	provide	protection	against	credit	risk	exposure	by	its	counterparties.	As	at	
31 December	2019,	if	pledged	collaterals	were	included	in	the	master	netting	arrangements	on	the	derivative	portfolio,	net	derivative	
assets	would	reduce	to	$18.3	million	net	derivative	liability	(2018:	net	impact	would	reduce	the	net	derivative	assets	to	$13.6	million).

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Cash	collateral	received	or	paid	by	the	Group	is	recognised	at	fair	value	at	settlement	date	in	the	statement	of	cash	flows.	All	other	
financial	assets	are	recognised	on	trade	date.	A	financial	asset	or	liability	is	derecognised	as	and	when	the	rights	to	receive	or	
obligation	to	pay	cash	flows	from	the	asset	or	liability	have	expired	or	the	Group	has	transferred	its	rights	to	receive,	or	obligation		
to	pay,	cash	flows.

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries

III	 OUR	CAPITAL	–	FINANCING	(CONTINUED)
14d	DERIVATIVE	NET	ASSETS/(LIABILITIES)	(CONTINUED)
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Derivative	financial	instruments	are	used	to	manage	exposures	to	certain	financial	risks	and	are	recognised	at	fair	value.	On	
subsequent	revaluation,	for	example,	at	trade	date,	derivatives	are	carried	as	assets	when	their	fair	value	has	increased	and	as	liabilities	
when	their	fair	value	has	decreased.	

The	effectiveness	of	the	hedging	relationship	is	tested	at	inception	and	at	regular	intervals	thereafter	by	means	of	cumulative	dollar	offset	
effectiveness	calculations.	The	primary	objective	is	to	determine	if	changes	to	the	fair	value	of	the	hedged	item	and	the	derivative	are	
highly	correlated	and	thus	support	the	assertion	that	there	will	be	a	high	degree	of	offset	in	fair	value	movements	achieved	by	the	hedge.

For	all	hedges,	amounts	recognised	in	equity	are	transferred	to	the	functional	cost	areas	appropriate	to	the	hedged	item,	as	and	when	
the	hedged	item	is	consumed,	except	for	basis	risk	adjustments.

Any	gain	or	loss	is	reclassified	to	the	income	statement	when	the	Group	exercises,	terminates	or	revokes	designation	of	the	hedge	
relationship.	Any	ineffectiveness	that	may	arise	from	credit	valuation	adjustments	is	recognised	in	the	income	statement	as	finance	costs.

The	Group	designates	its	derivatives	as	hedges	for	either:

	— the	fair	values	of	certain	liabilities	(fair	value	hedges)

	— the	cash	flows	associated	with	assets	and	liabilities	and	highly	probable	forecast	transactions	(cash	flow	hedges).

Fair value	hedges	are	used	to	mitigate	the	exposure	that	arises	from	changes	in	the	fair	value	of	a	hedged	item	such	that	changes	in	
the	fair	value	of	the	hedged	item	are	offset	against	the	changes	in	the	value	of	the	hedging	instrument.	Where	there	is	a	gain	or	loss	
from	remeasuring	the	fair	value	of	the	derivative,	they	are	recognised	within	net	finance	costs	in	the	income	statement.

Cash flow	hedges	are	used	to	hedge	future	cash	flows	or	a	probable	transaction	that	could	affect	the	income	statement.	Any	gain	
or loss	on	effective	portions	of	the	hedging	instrument	is	recognised	directly	in	equity,	while	any	gain	or	loss	on	ineffective	portions	
is recognised	in	the	income	statement	within	net	finance	costs.	If	the	forecast	transaction	is	revoked	or	no	longer	expected	to	occur,	
amounts	previously	recognised	in	equity	are	transferred	to	the	income	statement	over	the	remaining	life	of	the	underlying	exposure.	

The	Group	placed	certain	amounts	of	foreign	currency	on	deposit	that	were	used	to	hedge	highly	probable	forecast	purchases	of	capital	
expenditure	items	and	raw	materials.	Movements	in	the	translation	of	these	deposits	are	recognised	within	other	comprehensive	income.

For	reporting	purposes,	the	Group	categorises	its	hedges	as	either	debt	related	or	non-debt	related.

Debt related

Debt	related	derivatives	apply	solely	to	hedging	of	the	foreign	currency	principal	amounts	and	fair	values	of	borrowings.	During	the	
financial	year,	the	Group	held	cross	currency	swaps	to	mitigate	exposures	to	changes	in	the	fair	value	of	a	portion	of	the	Group’s	foreign	
currency	denominated	debt	from	fluctuations	in	foreign	currency	and	interest	rates.	The	changes	in	fair	values	of	the	hedged	debt	
resulting	from	movements	in	exchange	rates	and	interest	rates	are	offset	against	the	changes	in	the	values	of	the	cross	currency	swaps.	
The	objective	of	this	hedging	is	to	convert	foreign	currency	borrowings	to	local	currency	borrowings	at	inception.	No	significant	portion	
of	the	change	in	the	fair	value	of	the	cross	currency	swap	is	expected	to	be	ineffective	as	the	amount	of	the	cross	currency	swap	is	the	
same	as	that	of	the	underlying	debt	and	all	cash	flow	and	reset	dates	coincide	between	the	borrowing	and	the	swaps.

Non-debt related

Non-debt	derivatives	relate	to	all	financial	instruments	other	than	those	that	are	debt	related,	being	foreign	currency,	commodity	and	
interest	rate	derivatives	(as	these	do	not	impact	the	calculation	of	net	debt).	These	hedges	comprise	fair	value	and	cash	flow	hedges.

Refer	to	Note	15	for	further	information	on	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	financial	risk	management	process.

Presentation, offsetting and netting arrangements

The	Group	presents	derivative	assets	and	liabilities	on	a	gross	basis.	Certain	derivative	assets	and	liabilities	are	subject	to	enforceable	
master	netting	arrangements	with	individual	counterparties	if	a	default	event	occurs.	If	these	netting	arrangements	were	to	be	applied	
to the	derivative	portfolio	as	at	31	December	2019,	derivative	assets	and	liabilities	would	each	reduce	by	$19.1	million	(2018:	$66.2	million).	

IV  OUR RISK MANAGEMENT
15	 FINANCIAL	RISK	MANAGEMENT

HOW THE GROUP MANAGES FINANCIAL RISK

Our	financial	risk	management	activities	are	carried	out	by	the	Group’s	Treasury	function,	which	is	governed	by	a	Board	approved	Treasury	
Policy	which	strictly	prohibits	any	speculative	trading.	The	Group’s	risk	management	activities	seek	to	reduce	the	volatility	of	financial	
performance,	which	assists	in	the	delivery	of	the	Group’s	financial	targets.	This	is	achieved	through	a	process	of	identifying,	recording	and	
communicating	financial	exposures	and	risks	within	the	Group	upon	which	risk	management	strategies	are	applied	using	derivatives	and	
hedge	accounting	practices.	Refer	to	Note	14d	for	further	information	on	the	recognition	and	measurement	of	derivatives.

The	Group’s	financial	assets	and	liabilities	originate	from,	and	are	used	for,	operating	and	investing	activities	which	generate	financial	
assets	and	liabilities	including	cash,	trade	and	other	receivables	and	trade	and	other	payables,	and	for	financing	activities,	which	are	
used	to	invest	surplus	funds	and	to	raise	funds	for	the	Group’s	operations	and	take	the	form	of	cash,	term	deposits,	bonds,	bank	loans	
and	bank	overdrafts.

Risk management

Financial	assets	and	liabilities,	being	primarily	derivative	or	hedging	contracts,	are	used	to	manage	financial	risks	that	arise	from	the	
abovementioned	activities.	These	risks	are	summarised	and	described	further,	in	the	following	sections:

a) market	risks	relating	to:

i)

foreign	currencies

ii)

interest	rates

iii) commodity	prices.

b) other	financial	risks	relating	to:

i)

liquidity

ii) credit

iii) 	foreign	currency	translation.

a) MARKET RISKS

Sensitivity – analyses
The	below	sensitivity	analyses	illustrate	possible	outcomes	from	the	Group’s	approach	to	financial	risk	management	in	relation	to	
market	risks.	The	analyses	show	the	effect	on	profit	and	other	comprehensive	income	for	the	year	if	market	rates	had	been	10%	higher	
or	lower	with	all	other	variables	held	constant,	taking	into	account	existing	financial	asset	and	liability	exposures	and	related	hedges.	
A sensitivity	of	10%	has	been	selected	as	this	is	considered	reasonable	given	the	current	level	of	market	prices,	the	volatility	observed	
on	a	historical	basis	and	market	expectations	for	future	movements.

or	decrease	in	commodity	prices.

As	shown	in	the	table	above,	a	movement	in	market	rates	by	10%	would	have	no	material	impact	on	profit	for	the	year,	reflecting	
the Group’s	approach	to	hedging	as	described	in	Note	14d.	Volatility	does	arise	in	other	comprehensive	income	mainly	due	to	the	
remeasurement	of	derivatives	to	fair	value	as	at	the	reporting	date.

IV	 OUR	RISK	MANAGEMENT	(CONTINUED)
15	 FINANCIAL	RISK	MANAGEMENT	(CONTINUED)

a) MARKET RISKS (CONTINUED)
i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign	currency	risk	refers	to	the	risk	that	the	cash	flows	arising	from	a	financial	commitment	or	recognised	asset	or	liability	will
fluctuate	due	to	changes	in	foreign	currency	rates.	The	Group’s	foreign	currency	risk	arises	primarily	from:

	— firm	commitments	and/or	highly	probable	forecast	transactions	for	receipts	and	payments	settled	in	foreign	currencies	and	prices	

dependent	on	foreign	currencies	respectively

	— cash,	term	deposits	and	borrowings	denominated	in	foreign	currency

	— translation	of	the	financial	statements	of	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	foreign	subsidiaries,	refer	to	Note	15b)	iii).

The	Group’s	risk	management	policy	for	foreign	exchange	allows	hedging	of	forecast	cost	of	goods	sold	related	transactions	for	up	to	four	
years	before	requiring	executive	management	approval.	Foreign	currency	denominated	capital	expenditure	is	generally	hedged	upon	the	
making	of	firm	commitments.	The	policy	prescribes	a	range	of	minimum	and	maximum	hedging	parameters	linked	to	actual	and	forecast	
transactions	involving	material	foreign	currency	exposures	which	are	progressively	increased	to	a	range	of	35%	to	100%	in	the	current	year.

The	Group’s	material	foreign	currency	transactions	(relative	to	each	subsidiary’s	functional	currency)	are	mainly	conducted	in	the	
following	currencies:

	— Australian	Dollars	(AUD)

	— United	States	Dollars	(USD)	–	primarily	for	commodity	purchasing,	borrowings	and	capital	expenditure

	— New	Zealand	Dollars	(NZD)

	— Japanese	Yen	(JPY)	–	primarily	for	borrowings

	— Euros	(EUR)	–	primarily	for	capital	expenditure

	— Norwegian	Krone	(NOK)	–	primarily	for	borrowings.

At	the	reporting	date,	the	Group	had	exposure	to	foreign	currency	risk	on	the	following	financial	assets	and	liabilities	(due	to	the	items	being	
denominated	in	currencies	other	than	the	reporting	currencies)	and	mitigated	that	risk	with	the	hedges	presented	in	the	following	table:

ii) Interest rate risk
Interest	bearing	financial	assets	and	liabilities	which	expose	the	Group	to	interest	rate	risk	are	predominantly	cash	assets,	borrowings,
held	to	maturity	investments	and	other	financial	and	lease	liabilities.

The	Group’s	risk	management	policy	for	interest	rate	risk	seeks	to	minimise	the	effects	of	interest	rate	movements	on	its	financial	asset	
and	liability	portfolio	through	management	of	the	exposures.	The	policy	prescribes	that	the	average	maturity	of	the	hedging	portfolio	
must	be	between	one	and	five	years.	It	is	usual	practice	for	the	next	12	months’	floating	rate	exposures	to	be	largely	fixed	up	to	a	
maximum	of	100%	of	the	forecast	exposure.

The	Group	primarily	enters	interest	rate	swap	and	cross	currency	swap	agreements	to	manage	these	risks.	

At	the	reporting	date,	the	Group	had	the	following	mix	of	financial	assets	and	liabilities	bearing	interest	and	hedges	to	mitigate	interest	
rate	risk:

iii) Commodity price risk
Commodity	price	risk	is	the	risk	arising	from	volatility	in	commodity	prices	in	relation	to	raw	materials	(mainly	sugar,	aluminium,	resin
and	coffee)	used	in	the	business.

The	Group’s	risk	management	policy	for	commodity	price	risk	allows	hedging	of	forecast	transactions	for	up	to	four	years	before	
requiring	executive	management	approval.	The	policy	prescribes	a	range	of	minimum	and	maximum	hedging	levels	linked	to	actual	
and forecast	transactions	involving	strategic	commodity	exposures	which	are	progressively	increased	to	a	range	of	70%	to	100%	in	
the current	year.

The	Group	primarily	enters	futures	and	swap	contracts	to	hedge	commodity	price	risk,	with	the	objective	of	obtaining	lower	raw	material	
prices	and	a	more	stable	and	predictable	commodity	price	outcome.	Futures	contracts	are	mainly	used	to	hedge	the	primary	exposures,	
being	aluminium	ingot,	raw	sugar	and	resin,	which	are	priced	on	the	London	Metal	Exchange,	Intercontinental	Exchange	and	on	the	
Independent	Chemical	Information	Services	respectively.	These	exposures	are	designated	to	be	the	risk	component	which	are	hedged	
with	futures	contracts.	These	together	form	a	part	of	the	hedge	relationship	and	are	designed	to	be	highly	effective.	Costs	associated	
with	rolling	of	aluminium	cans,	refining	of	raw	sugar	and	any	other	transaction	costs	represent	other	risk	components	which	do	not	form	
part	of	the	hedge	relationship	but	are	recognised	within	cost	of	goods	sold	in	the	income	statement.

b) OTHER FINANCIAL RISKS

i) Liquidity risk
Liquidity	risk	is	the	risk	there	will	be	insufficient	funds	available	to	meet	the	Group’s	financial	commitments	as	and	when	they	fall	due,
and	the	risk	of	unforeseen	events	which	may	curtail	cash	inflows.

To	help	reduce	liquidity	risk,	the	Group:

	— 	has	a	liquidity	policy	which	targets	a	minimum	level	of	committed	facilities	relative	to	net	debt

	— 	has	readily	accessible	funding	arrangements	in	place

	— 	generally	utilises	financial	assets	and	liabilities	that	are	tradeable	in	liquid	markets

	— 	staggers	maturities	of	financial	assets	and	liabilities.

Liquidity	risk	is	measured	by	using	cash	flow	forecasts	and	comparing	projected	debt	levels	against	total	committed	facilities.	

The	contractual	cash	flows	and	expected	timings	of	the	Group’s	financial	liabilities	are	shown	in	the	table	below.	The	contractual	
amounts	represent	the	net	future	undiscounted	principal	and	interest	cash	flows	and	therefore	may	not	equal	to	the	carrying	amounts	
in	the	financial	statements.

Group	to	make	a	financial	loss.	The	Group	has	exposure	to	credit	risk	on	all	financial	assets	included	in	the	Group’s	balance	sheet.
To help	manage	this	risk,	the	Group:

	— 	has	a	policy	for	establishing	credit	limits	for	the	entities	it	deals	with

	— 	may	require	collateral.

For	credit	purposes,	there	is	only	a	credit	risk	where	the	contracting	entity	is	liable	to	pay	the	Group	on	settlement.	The	Treasury	Policy	
sets	limits	on	the	amount	of	credit	exposure	to	each	financial	institution.	New	derivatives,	cash	and	term	deposit	transactions	are	
limited	to	financial	institutions	that	meet	minimum	credit	rating	criteria	in	accordance	with	the	Policy	or	as	approved	under	the	Policy.	
These	limits	are	set	to	minimise	the	concentration	of	risk	and	therefore	mitigate	the	risk	of	financial	loss	as	a	result	of	a	counterparty’s	
failure	to	make	a	payment.

Customer	credit	risk	is	managed	by	each	business	subject	to	established	policies,	procedures	and	controls	relating	to	customer	risk	
management.	Credit	limits	are	set	for	each	customer	and	these	are	regularly	monitored.	For	information	concerning	percentage	of	sales	
to	the	Group’s	top	three	customers	and	trade	receivables	past	due	but	not	impaired,	refer	to	Notes	2	and	6a	respectively.

The	Group’s	maximum	exposure	to	credit	risk	is	the	sum	of	the	carrying	amount	of	all	cash	assets,	held	to	maturity	investments,	loans	
receivable,	trade	and	other	receivables	and	derivative	asset	balances.

b) OTHER FINANCIAL RISKS (CONTINUED)

iii) Foreign currency translation risk
The	financial	statements	for	each	of	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	foreign	operations	are	prepared	in	their	local	currency.	For	the
purposes	of	preparing	the	Group’s	consolidated	financial	information,	each	foreign	operation’s	financial	statements	are	translated	into
Australian	Dollars	using	applicable	foreign	exchange	rates	for	the	reporting	period.	A	translation	risk	exists	on	translating	the	financial
statements	of	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	foreign	operations.	As	a	result,	volatility	in	foreign	exchange	rates	can	impact	the	Group’s	net
assets,	profit	and	other	comprehensive	income.

The	Group	does	not,	as	a	matter	of	policy,	hedge	translation	risk.	However,	there	are	occasions	when	it	is	considered	appropriate	to	
hedge	foreign	currency	denominated	earnings	and	this	form	of	translation	risk	may	be	hedged	from	time	to	time.

16	 FAIR	VALUE
The	Group	applies	historical	cost	accounting,	with	the	exception	of	financial	assets	and	liabilities.	These	financial	assets	and	liabilities,	
and	a	summary	of	how	fair	value	accounting	is	applied,	are	summarised	below:

Financial assets and liabilities

Carrying amount and fair value relationship

Cash,	trade	and	other	
receivables	and	payables

Borrowings	–	bonds

Values	are	approximately	the	same	mainly	due	to	their	short-term	nature.

At	31	December	2019,	the	carrying	and	fair	values	of	the	Group’s	bonds	were	$2,157.1	million	and	
$2,272.2	million	(2018:	$2,156.0	million	and	$2,172.1	million)	respectively.	To	calculate	fair	values,	
inputs	were	based	on	interest	rates	and	yield	curves	at	commonly	quoted	intervals	and	credit	
spreads	(Level	2	inputs)	that	are	observable	for	a	similar	liability	in	the	market.	Bonds	pay	fixed	
interest;	difference	between	the	carrying	and	fair	values	for	bonds	is	driven	by	the	agreed	fixed	
interest	and	Level	2	inputs	used	to	calculate	the	fair	value.

Long-term	deposits	and	
borrowings	–	other	than	bonds

Values	are	approximately	the	same,	mainly	due	to	the	absence	of	material	break	costs	on	early	
repayment	or	cancellation.

Derivatives

Accounted	for	at	fair	value	using	the	valuation	techniques	described	below.

DERIVATIVES – VALUATION TECHNIQUES
Fair	values	of	derivatives	based	on	quoted	prices	in	active	markets	are	categorised	as	Level	1.	The	Group	establishes	fair	value	by	using	
valuation	techniques	such	as	discounted	cash	flow	or	option	pricing	models	(Level	2),	using	inputs	that	are	observable	either	directly	
(as prices)	or	indirectly	(derived	from	prices).	These	include	reference	to	the	fair	values	of	recent	arm’s	length	transactions,	involving	
the same	or	similar	instruments.	The	classification	of	derivatives	by	level	is	shown	in	the	table	below:

18	 EMPLOYEE	OWNERSHIP	PLANS
Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	has	the	following	plans:	the	Employees	Share	Plan,	the	Long-Term	Incentive	Plan	and	the	Executive	Post-Tax	
Share	Purchase	Plan.	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited	fully	paid	ordinary	shares	issued	under	these	plans	rank	equally	with	all	other	existing	
fully	paid	ordinary	shares	with	respect	to	voting	rights,	dividends	and	future	bonus	and	rights	issues.	

EMPLOYEES SHARE PLAN (ESP)

The	ESP	provides	all	full-time	and	part-time	permanent	employees	with	an	opportunity	to	contribute	up	to	3%	of	their	base	salary	to	
acquire	shares	in	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited.	The	ESP	is	administered	by	a	trustee	which	acquires	and	holds	shares	on	behalf	of	the	
participants.	These	shares	are	purchased	on	market	at	prevailing	market	prices.	Shares	forfeited	under	the	terms	of	the	ESP	are	also	
utilised.	For	every	share	acquired	with	amounts	contributed	by	a	participant,	a	matching	share	is	acquired	by	the	trustee,	which	under	
normal	circumstances	vests	with	the	employee	after	a	period	of	two	years	from	their	date	of	issue	(acquisition	or	utilisation)	with	
contributions	made	by	the	employing	entities.	There	are	no	performance	conditions.	Members	of	the	ESP	receive	dividends	on	both	
vested	and	unvested	shares	held	on	their	behalf	by	the	trustee.	As	at	31	December	2019,	the	number	of	shares	in	the	ESP,	both	vested	
and	unvested,	was	3,067,792	(2018:	3,352,054).	The	number	of	shares	vested	to	employees	was	1,333,373	(2018:	1,658,053).	All	shares	
were	purchased	on	market	during	the	year.	

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP)

Under	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	LTIP,	senior	executives	(as	approved	by	the	Board)	have	the	opportunity	to	be	rewarded	with	fully	
paid	ordinary	shares,	providing	the	LTIP	meets	minimum	pre-determined	hurdles	covering	a	three-year	period,	as	set	by	the	People	
Committee.	These	shares	are	purchased	on	market	or	issued	to	the	trustee	once	the	LTIP	vests.	

LTIP	2019-2021	has	two	performance	conditions,	namely	Relative	Total	Shareholder	Return	(TSR)	and	Absolute	TSR.	The	prior	plans	
had	three	performance	conditions,	namely	Relative	TSR,	Absolute	TSR	and	EPS.	Details	of	the	performance	and	service	conditions	
for the	LTIP	2019–2021	are	provided	in	the	Remuneration	Report.

Dividends	are	payable	to	participants	of	the	LTIP	only	once	the	rights	vest	into	shares.

The	fair	value	of	shares	offered	in	the	LTIP	was	determined	by	an	independent	external	valuer	using	an	option	pricing	model	with	the	
following	input:

restricted	for	24	months.	Dividends	are	payable	to	the	participants	of	the	Plan.	Details	on	the	forfeiture	conditions	of	these	shares	are	
provided	in	the	Remuneration	Report.	As	at	31	December	2019,	the	number	of	restricted	shares	in	the	Plan	was	88,419	(2018:	127,470).

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

The	value	of	services	provided	by	employees	to	the	Group	in	return	for	Coca-Cola	Amatil	Limited’s	shares	granted	under	employee	
ownership	plans	is	measured	by	reference	to	the	fair	value	of	the	shares	as	at	the	grant	date.	Fair	values	are	determined	as	the	cost	
of shares	purchased	for	employer	contributions	to	the	ESP	(shares	are	purchased	at	grant	date)	and	are	determined	by	an	independent	
external	valuer	for	shares	granted	under	the	LTIP	(shares	are	purchased	at	vesting	date).

The	fair	value	of	shares	is	charged	to	the	income	statement	over	the	vesting	period,	with	a	matching	increase	in	the	share-based	
remuneration	reserve	recognised,	representing	the	obligation	to	provide	these	shares	on	vesting.	On	vesting,	the	treasury	shares	
account	and	this	reserve	are	reduced.

No	expense	is	recognised	for	awards	that	do	not	ultimately	vest,	except	for	awards	where	vesting	is	only	conditional	upon	a	market	
condition,	such	as	Relative	TSR	and	Absolute	TSR,	or	subject	to	service	conditions	not	being	fulfilled	(as	determined	by	the	Board	
at its absolute	discretion).

REPORT

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT  
TO THE MEMBERS OF COCA-COLA AMATIL LIMITED 

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT 

OPINION 

We have audited the financial report of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”), which comprises 
the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019 and of its consolidated financial

performance for the year ended on that date; and

b)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

BASIS FOR OPINION 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical 
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in 
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the 
current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but 
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided 
in that context. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report, including 
in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of 
material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters 
below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report. 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF COCA-COLA AMATIL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Key Audit Matters (Continued) 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

1.  Carrying Value of Indonesian Cash Generating Unit

Due to the limited amount by which the recoverable amount of the 
Indonesian Cash Generating Unit (CGU) exceeds it’s carrying value, this 
CGU is susceptible to impairment. 

As disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the assessment of 
impairment for the Indonesian CGU, involves critical accounting 
estimates and significant judgements. Note 10 also demonstrates the 
amount of change to the revenue, discount rate and terminal growth 
rate assumptions which would lead to an impairment charge being 
required. 

This was considered a key audit matter given the limited headroom and 
significant judgment required in performing this assessment. 

2.  Accounting for Rebates and Promotional Allowances

As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, revenue is 
recognised when control of the product has transferred, being when 
the product is delivered to the customer and there is no unfulfilled 
obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. 

Revenue is recognised net of rebates and promotional allowances owed 
to customers based on their individual contractual arrangements.  The 
recognition and measurement of rebates and promotional allowances, 
including establishing an appropriate accrual at year end, involves 
significant judgment and estimate, particularly related to the expected 
level of rebate claims by the customers. 

This was considered a key audit matter given the value of the rebate 
and promotional allowances provided to customers, together with the 
level of judgment involved in estimating the accrual for promotional 
allowances at year end. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

•

Assessed whether the methodology used by the Group met the
requirements of Australian Accounting Standards

•  Tested the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow model 
•  Assessed whether the carrying value of the CGU used in the

impairment test was appropriately determined in accordance with 
the Australian Accounting Standards 

•  Assessed the cash flow forecasts by considering the historical 

reliability of the Group’s cash flow forecasts, recent results, and 
our knowledge of the business and industry, corroborating this 
data with external information where possible 
Evaluated the Group’s analysis of the sensitivity of changes in key
assumptions used in their impairment testing model, by
considering a range of reasonably possible changes in key
assumptions
Involving our business valuation and modelling specialists in the
consideration of key assumptions such as, the discount rate, and
terminal growth rates
Assessed the adequacy of the financial statement disclosures
relating to impairment testing

•

•

•

Our audit procedures included the following: 
•

Considered the application of Australian Accounting Standards to
the Group’s accounting policies regarding rebates and
promotional allowances
Evaluated the effectiveness of the Group’s processes to calculate
and record rebates and promotional allowances 
For a sample of contracts and promotional activities, assessed
whether the rebates and promotional allowances were calculated
in accordance with the terms of each contract
Considered the impact of customer claims and payments made
subsequent to year end
Analysed movements, trends and the ageing profile of the
rebates and promotional allowances accrual
Performed analysis of write backs to the rebate and promotional
allowances throughout the year
Enquired of the Group as to the existence of any side
arrangements or contracts with unusual terms and conditions
Considered the presentation and disclosure in respect of rebates
and promotional allowances in the financial statements

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF COCA-COLA AMATIL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL REPORT AND AUDITOR’S REPORT THEREON 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 2019 Annual 
Report other than the financial report and our audits report thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual 
Report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the date of this 
auditor’s report.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion 
thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the 
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially 
misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report 
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL REPORT 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the 
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to 
liquidate the Company or Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due 
to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a 
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 
throughout the audit. We also: 

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s or the Group’s internal control

•

•

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by
the directors

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s or Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the
related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company or the Group to cease
to continue as a going concern

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report
represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to

express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COCA-COLA AMATIL LIMITED (CONTINUED)AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED) We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.  REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 74 to 98 of the directors' report for the year ended 31 December 2019. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited for the year ended 31 December 2019, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Please	refer	to	the	AGM	Notice	of	Meeting	for	further	details.

In	light	of	the	escalating	COVID-19	pandemic,	we	encourage	
Shareholders	to	monitor	Amatil’s	corporate	website	or	the	
Australian	Securities	Exchange	(ASX)	website	for	updates	
(if any) relating	to	the	AGM.

VOTING RIGHTS
The	AGM	Notice	of	Meeting	contains	instructions	to	Shareholders	
on	the	various	voting	mechanisms	available	to	them.	
Shareholders	should	follow	those	instructions	while	casting	
their votes	or	call	Amatil’s	share	registry,	Link	Market	Services,	
should	they	face	any	technical	difficulties	in	casting	their	vote.

LISTINGS
Amatil’s	ordinary	shares	are	quoted	under	the	symbol	CCL		
on	Australian	Securities	Exchange	(ASX)	and	are	traded	on	
ASX	on the	issuer	sponsored	sub-register	or	under	CHESS	
(Clearing	House	Electronic	Subregister	System).

During	FY	2019,	Amatil	listed	$133	million	2.45%	Senior	
Secured	Notes	on	the	ASX	under	the	symbol	CCLHA.

Amatil’s	ordinary	shares	are	traded	in	the	United	States	in	
the	form	of	American	Depositary	Receipts	(ADRs)	issued		
by	The	Bank of	New	York	Mellon	as	Depositary.	The	ADRs		
trade	over-the-counter	under	the	symbol	CCLAY.

Amatil	has	a	number	of	Senior	Secured	Notes	listed	on	the	
Singapore	and	Luxembourg	Stock	Exchanges.

ANNUAL REPORTS
The	Amatil	Annual	Report	is	available	at	Amatil’s	website	
www.ccamatil.com.	Printed	copies	of	Annual	Reports	are	only	
mailed	to	those	Shareholders	who	have	elected	to	receive	one.	
Amatil	encourages	Shareholders	to	receive	notification	of	all	
Shareholder	communications	by	email	and	have	internet	access	
to	documents	including	Company	Announcements,	Dividend	
Statements	and	Notices	of	Shareholder	Meetings.	In	this	way,	
Shareholders	receive	prompt	information	and	have	the	
convenience	and	security	of	electronic	delivery,	which	is	not	
only cost-effective	but	environmentally	friendly.

COMPANY PUBLICATIONS
Other	than	the	Annual	Report	(which	for	FY19	includes	the	
Sustainability	Report),	Amatil	publishes	a	Corporate	Governance	
Statement.

Shareholders	are	encouraged	to	access	Shareholder	
communications	and	information	online	at	www.ccamatil.com.

WEBSITE
All	material	contained	in	this	Report	is	also	available	on	Amatil’s	
website.	In	addition,	announcements	to	the	ASX,	media	releases,	
and	presentations	by	senior	management	are	also	published	on		
the	website.	The	website	address	is	www.ccamatil.com.

DIVIDENDS PAID
The	sum	of	dividends	paid	to	Shareholders	relating	to	2019	was	
47.0	cents	per	share	(excluding	the	interim	special	dividend	of	
4.0 cents	per	share);	flat	against	2018.	Based	on	ongoing	
operations,	this	represents	a	payout	ratio	of	86.4%	for	the	full	
year.	Dividends	for	2019	were	unfranked,	and	full	year	free	cash	
flow	was	sufficient	to	cover	both	interim	and	final	dividend	
payments.

DIRECT DEPOSIT OF DIVIDENDS
As	previously	advised	to	Shareholders,	commencing	with	the		
final	dividend	payment	in	April	2012,	Amatil	introduced	a	system	
of	mandatory	direct	crediting	of	dividends	in	Australia.	

Commencing	with	the	2013	final	dividend	payment	in	April	2014,	
the	same	mandatory	direct	crediting	was	introduced	in	
New Zealand,	and	cheques	will	only	be	paid	to	non-New	Zealand	
overseas	Shareholders	without	an	Australian	or	New	Zealand	
financial	institution	account,	or	in	exceptional	circumstances.

If	you	are	an	Australian	or	New	Zealand	resident	Shareholder,	
any Amatil	dividends	will	be	paid	directly	into	your	bank	account	
on	the	dividend	payment	date.	Your	dividend	payment	statement	
will	be	sent	by	mail	or	emailed	to	you	on	that	date.

If	you	are	an	Australian	or	New	Zealand	Shareholder	and	have	not	
provided	your	Australian	or	New	Zealand	bank	account	details,	
you	will	not	receive	your	dividend	until	you	do	so.	You	can	provide	
your	bank	account	details	by	contacting	the	share	registry,	Link	
Market	Services.

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Participation	in	the	Dividend	Reinvestment	Plan	(DRP)	is	optional	
and	available	to	all	Shareholders,	except	those	who	are	resident	
in the	United	States,	or	in	any	place	in	which,	in	the	opinion	of	
the Directors,	participation	in	the	DRP	is	or	would	be	illegal	or	
impracticable.	Shareholders	may	elect	to	participate	for	all	or	
only	some	of	their	shares.	Shares	under	the	DRP	were	purchased	
on	market	for	the	2019	interim	and	final	dividend	at	the	market	
price	of	Amatil	ordinary	shares	calculated	at	each	dividend	
payment,	being	the	weighted	average	price	of	all	ordinary	Amatil	
shares	sold	on	the	ASX	and	Chi-X	trading	platforms	during	the	
10 trading	days	commencing	on	the	third	trading	day	after	the	
record	date	for	the	dividend.	There	is	no	brokerage,	stamp	duty	
or other	transaction	costs	payable	by	participants.	The	DRP	
discount	was reduced	from	2.0%	to	nil	with	effect	from	the	2010	
interim	dividend	payment.

The	DRP	rules	may	be	modified,	suspended	or	terminated	by	the	
Directors	at	any	time	by	way	of	an	announcement	to	the	ASX	
and placed	on	Amatil’s	website.	Changes	will	be	effective	on	
the date	of	the	announcement.	For	additional	information	and	
a DRP application	form,	please	contact	our	share	registry,	Link	
Market	Services	on	tel:	+61	1300	554	474	or	via	website	at	
www.linkmarketservices.com.au.

TAX	FILE	NUMBERS
Australian	tax	payers	who	do	not	provide	details	of	their	tax	file	
number	will	have	the	unfranked	portion	of	dividends	subjected	to	
the	top	marginal	personal	tax	rate	plus	Medicare	levy.	It	may	be	in	
the	interests	of	Shareholders	to	ensure	that	tax	file	numbers	have	
been	supplied	to	the	share	registry.	Forms	are	available	from	the	
share	registry	should	you	wish	to	notify	the	registry	of	your	tax	
file	number	or	tax	exemption	details.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS
It	is	important	for	Shareholders	to	notify	the	share	registry	in	
writing	promptly	of	any	change	of	address.	As	a	security	measure,	
the	old	address	should	also	be	quoted	as	well	as	your	
Shareholder	Reference	Number	(SRN).	You	may	also	update	your	
details	online	at	www.linkmarketservices.com.au.
