CHAPTER 02

CEO's Comments

During 2022, we faced a highly complex global business environment, marked by inflationary pressures and economic deceleration that resulted in significant cost increases and changes in buying patterns among our main markets.

This challenging scenario has required us to make swift adjustments in various business areas to adapt to the new production, commercial, logistics, and financial environment. On a commercial level, we have been able to increase prices in most of our markets. In terms of operations and logistics, we have strengthened cost management, and have taken steps to accelerate continuous improvement and achieve new efficiencies with a more streamlined operation. Meanwhile, the company's financial strength has enabled us to make investments in working capital in order to mitigate the impact of the logistics crisis, and ensure the availability of products and continuity of business with our customers. The higher exchange rate, reflecting the riskier global outlook, had a positive impact on our company's sales and profitability.

In 2022, consolidated sales grew by 4.0% as a result of price increases that the company has implemented in various markets during the year and a favorable exchange rate, partially offset by a 9.6% reduction in consolidated sales volumes. Operating profit reached Ch$104,873 million in the year, a decrease of 21.1% compared to 2021. This was primarily due to extraordinary market conditions impacting raw materials costs, logistics expenses, and shipping costs, which should not be repeated with the same intensity in 2023 in view of the trends that have emerged in recent months.

On a quarterly basis, in 4Q22 we continued to observe a challenging environment that impacted on consumption. Consolidated sales decreased by 4.5% in the quarter, with lower volumes sold in our main markets. The gross margin was 38.6%, a decrease of 330 bps. Although we reduced selling, general, and administrative expenses in the quarter, lower sales volumes together with higher costs and rates had an impact on the operating profit and operating margin.

2022 is the final year of the five-year strategy that we launched in 2018. This has been a period of profound transformation and premiumization of our brand portfolio, during which we have laid the foundations for future growth and competitiveness. Our main objective for the next three years is to guide the company toward resuming strong sales growth, both in terms of volume and value, without losing our clear focus on continuing the premiumization of our wine portfolio.
