1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Results

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings Inc. ("CCBJH" or the "Company", or "we") announced year-to-datethird-quarter results for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020 (January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020, YTD Q3).

During the continued outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the safety and health of our consumers, our customers and our employees- especially those working daily to produce and supply essential goods and services- is our number one priority. Our mission is to deliver happy moments to everyone, even in challenging times, and we have been working with comprehensive business continuity actions in place to ensure safe and secure product supply.

In the year-to-datethird-quarter period, total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (NARTD) beverage industry volume performance is expected to continue to decline versus the prior-year reflecting weaker consumer traffic and demand driven by the COVID-19 outbreak as well as rainy and cool weather in July. The health food and cosmetics industries are also expected to decline reflecting weaker consumer traffic and demand as well as drop of inbound tourists' demand driven by the COVID-19 outbreak.

We continue to drive fundamental business transformation under the guiding principle of our mid-term strategic business plan announced in August 2019 that "business as usual is not an option". We are implementing initiatives to return the business to a sustainable growth trajectory, including transformation in the important vending channel and back-office routines to drive cost efficiencies, and increasing front-facing investments for growth in such areas as production capacity, space-to-sell and people development. In the short term, we are focusing on various urgent mitigation initiatives to deal with the rapidly evolving situation triggered by the COVID-19 outbreak, as we continue to address our cost structure and high fixed-cost base of the beverage business. We are also finding opportunities during this turbulent period to accelerate the pace of ongoing transformation projects and to identify new opportunities. This will ensure that we are well-prepared for the evolution of the business environment in the longer term.

Our year-to-datethird-quarter results were impacted by a sharp drop in beverage business sales volumes since March due to the COVID-19 situation, but we have seen moderating performance trends in the third quarter (July to September, Q3) compared to the second quarter (April to June), which has been the most impacted quarter thus far during the pandemic.

In addition to the business update in this document, please also see our earnings presentation material posted on the Company IR website (https://en.ccbjholdings.com/ir/library/presentation.php) to be used in our earnings conference call on Friday, November 13, 2020 at 1:30 pm (JST). The earnings presentation and audio will be available live and on demand as an audio webcast in the IR section of the CCBJH website.

Highlights of the Third Quarter

• Volume, revenue and Business Income in third quarter shows moderating trend versus prior quarters this year and third quarter Business Income was almost even versus prior year. Year-to-datethird-quarter revenue declined 11% and Business Income declined 59% versus prior year, reflecting negative channel/package mix and weaker consumer traffic and demand driven by the COVID-19 outbreak.
• Vending channel value share continues to improve, with 18 consecutive months of positive momentum. Focus on recovering year-to-dateover-the-counter ("OTC") market share decline with selective marketing reinvestment in fourth quarter (October to December), in line with gradual return of consumer demand.
• Delivering significant cost saving efforts to mitigate topline pressure while accelerating transformation including vending and OTC sales route transformation.
• Alcohol business continues to perform well. New alcohol manufacturing line installed in Kyoto Plant to meet growing demand and ensure stable supply.
• Announced updated full-year 2020 plan on October 5, targeting even Business Income through continued cost savings in spite of topline pressures. No change to 25 yen-per-shareyear-end dividend forecast.
• Continue to drive fundamental business transformation guided by our mid-term strategic plan amid the current COVID-19 driven challenges.
