1Q26 PRESS RELEASE

CCU started 2026 with a strong set of results in Chile, its main Operating segment, while it continued to face a soft consumption environment in Argentina, and a particularly weak business context in the wine business. In terms of financial results, consolidated EBITDA was flat versus last year, growing 0.1%, as the robust 13.7% EBITDA growth in the Chile Operating segment was offset by contractions of 18.6% and 50.1% in the International Business and Wine Operating segments, respectively.

In the quarter, Consolidated Net sales were flat, growing 0.2%, explained by 1.8% higher volumes, almost fully offset by 1.5% lower average prices in CLP. Consolidated volumes were driven by a 3.9% expansion in the Chile Operating segment, more than offsetting the decreases of 1.7% and 5.9% in the International Business and Wine Operating segments, respectively. Lower average prices in CLP were mostly due to a negative currency translation effect in Argentina, coming from the 28.7% depreciation of the ARS against the USD, being partially compensated by revenue management initiatives. Gross profit grew by 1.4%, and Gross margin improved 55 bps, mainly due to lower direct costs and efficiencies. MSD&A expenses were practically flat in CLP, offsetting with efficiencies, overall expenses pressures and restructuring costs in Argentina. As a percentage of Net sales MSD&A grew 23 bps. In all, EBITDA reached CLP 131,644 million and EBITDA margin was stable at 16.1%. Net income reached CLP 53,856 million, down 6.8% from last year.

In terms of our segments, in the Chile Operating segment top line expanded 3.9%, explained by higher volumes as average prices were flat. Higher volumes were driven by high-single digits growth of non-alcoholic categories, and overall market share gains in alcoholic and non-alcoholic categories. Alcohol categories, which encompass beer and spirits, decreased low-single digits, although, flavored low-alcohol ready to drink products volumes grew low-double digits. Flat average prices were a consequence of a mix effect in the portfolio, mainly due to the abovementioned growth in non-alcoholic, particularly in water. Gross profit increased 10.2% and Gross margin rose 278 bps compared to last year, mainly driven by lower costs, coming from the 8.1% appreciation of the CLP against the USD, impacting favorably our USD-denominated costs, and efficiency gains in procurement and manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher aluminum prices. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales grew 31 bps. Altogether, EBITDA reached CLP 107,357 million, a 13.7% increase, and EBITDA margin was up by 173 bps, reaching 20.0%.

In the International Business Operating segment, Net sales recorded a 6.7% decrease, driven by 5.1% lower average prices in CLP, and a 1.7% contraction in volumes. Lower average prices in CLP were a consequence of a negative currency translation effect in Argentina and negative mix effects, partially offset by price actions in line with inflation on a year-to-date basis, although still lagging annual inflation in this country. Volumes in this segment were below last year explained by Argentina, due to a mid-single digits contraction in beer, in a market share stable scenario, partially offset by a low-single digits increase in the non-alcoholic category. As a result of the challenging scenario in Argentina, Gross profit contracted 10.7% in CLP, and Gross margin decreased by 218 bps due to cost pressures. MSD&A expenses, as a percentage of Net sales, decreased 54 bps, due to efficiencies. In all, EBITDA reached CLP 28,489 million, a 18.6% contraction. Excluding restructuring costs in Argentina, EBITDA would have amounted to CLP 31,346 million, representing a 10.4% contraction.

The Wine Operating segment posted a top line drop of 7.2%, mostly driven by 5.9% lower volumes and 1.4% lower average prices. Weaker volumes were explained by a contraction in both exports and our domestic markets, in line with the industries. The lower average prices were mostly as a result of the appreciation of the CLP against the USD and its unfavorable impact on export revenues together with mix effects, partially offset by revenue management initiatives in domestic markets. Gross profit was down 21.8%, and Gross margin deteriorated by 589 bps mostly due to higher cost of wine. MSD&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales were flat. Altogether, EBITDA reached CLP 3,288 million, a 50.1% decrease, and EBITDA margin was down 508 bps.

Regarding our main JVs and associated businesses, in Colombia, we posted mid-teens volume growth during the quarter, continuing on a positive path of building business scale. We are focused on building brand equity to enhance profitable growth in the future.

In summary, during 1Q26 CCU delivered a robust performance in Chile, its main Operating segment, and faced challenging business environment in Argentina and the wine business. Looking forward, we will continue working under the execution of CCU's 2025-2027 Strategic Plan, and its three pillars Profitability, Growth and Sustainability, which will be crucial to face the singular moment that the global economy is going through given current geopolitical conflicts which have materially increased costs globally, generating inflationary pressures. Our Company is not exempt from this, forcing us to act with caution and deploy our resiliency and adaptation capacity to navigate this uncertain and volatile scenario. Regarding this, CCU already took at the end of the quarter, proactive actions of revenue management initiatives, and we will continue reinforcing efficiency efforts, and managing CAPEX priorities. All of these initiatives aim to offset the negative impact of the current scenario.
