We measure our performance against our strategic objectives using specific KPIs. These KPIs allow us, and our stakeholders, to track our progress in delivering on our targets.

These are also the financial and operational milestones which we focus on in implementing our Growth Story 2025 strategy.

Organic Volume growth Organic Volume growth

Organic Volume Growth (%)

How we measure our progress

Volume is measured in unit cases, where one unit case represents 5.678 litres. We grow volume as we expand per-capita consumption of our products and expand into new markets or categories. Since the start of 2022 we measure volume growth on an organic basis.

What happened in the year

Volume declined by 1.5% on an organic basis, adversely impacted by declines in Russia and Ukraine. Excluding these markets, organic volume growth was up 8.1%.

Link to remuneration

Revenue growth is used to assess business performance for the purpose of annual Management Incentive Plan (MIP) bonus awards, and volume is a key component of revenue.

Organic Revenue Growth Organic Revenue Growth

Organic Revenue per case growth and Organic Revenue Growth (%) 

How we measure our progress

We measure revenues per case and revenues on an organic basis to allow better focus on the underlying performance of the business. We grow organic revenue per case through pricing and improving mix.

What happened in the year

Organic revenue per case grew by 15.9% as pricing and revenue growth management actions in all markets drove improvements throughout the year. Organic revenue grew by 14.2%, while excluding Russia and Ukraine organic revenue grew by 22.7%.

Link to remuneration

Revenue growth is used to assess business performance for the purpose of our MIP awards.

Comparable EBIT and Comparable EBIT margin Comparable EBIT and Comparable EBIT margin

Comparable EBIT and comparable EBIT margin (%)

How we measure our progress

We measure this by comparable EBIT and comparable EBIT margin progress. We generate positive operational leverage as we grow revenues on our efficient cost base. Using a comparable measure allows us to adjust for one-off items which impact comparability of performance year on year.

What happened in the year

Comparable EBIT grew by 11.9% and by 1.3% on an organic basis. Comparable EBIT margins declined by 150bps and by 130bps on an organic basis.

Link to remuneration

Comparable EBIT is used to assess business performance for the purpose of our MIP awards.

CapEx and ROIC CapEx and ROIC

CapEx as percentage of NSR (%) and ROIC (%) 

How we measure our progress

We measure capital expenditure (capex) as a percentage of net sales revenue (NSR), and ROIC (return on invested capital), to ensure prudent capital allocation and efficient working capital management. Disciplined investment supports our growth.

What happened in the year

Capex as a percentage of NSR reached 6.4%, just below our targeted range for this metric following the suspension of capex investment in Russia in 2022. We delivered another year of good ROIC performance. ROIC excluding Egypt was 15.8%.

Link to remuneration

ROIC is given a 42.5% weighting in the assessment of performance conditions used to determine long-term Performance Share Plan (PSP) awards.

employee engagement employee engagement

Employee Engagement Score

How we measure our progress

We conduct an engagement survey with an independent third party and measure our results against the norm for companies which perform highly on this metric.

What happened in the year

Our employee engagement is below the global top decile norm.

Link to remuneration

Maintaining our high engagement score is one of the CEO’s individual performance metrics. These are used along with business performance measures to determine the CEO’s annual MIP bonus award

our sustainability commitments our sustainability commitments

Our sustainability commitments

How we measure our progress

Progress on Mission 2025 as well as progress towards our NetZeroby40 ambition.

What happened in the year

We made progress against most areas of our commitments; however, we need to accelerate our improvement in packaging and focus more on water reduction and health and safety.

Link to remuneration

Our efforts and ambitions are long term and cumulative, therefore greenhouse gas reduction is used to determine long-term PSP awards. Greenhouse gas reductions have a 15% weighting in PSP determinations. The benefit of this KPI is that it is quantifiable, and several of our Mission 2025 commitments feed into its progress

We have invested €2 bn since 2000 to grow and expand our business.
