"For 2013, we remain committed to being a high service, low cost producer while maintaining the appropriate balance between revenue and margin," continued Mr. Fowden.

FOURTH QUARTER 2012 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY


 
--  Total filled beverage case volume (excluding concentrate sales) was
    199 million cases compared to 228 million cases. The volume decline
    was due primarily to our decision to exit certain low gross margin
    business in North America and the United Kingdom / Europe ("U.K.") as
    well as a continued general decline in the North American carbonated
    soft drink ("CSD") and juice categories. Including concentrate sales,
    volume was 280 million cases compared to 303 million cases.
    Concentrate volume grew 6% due primarily to the timing of shipments to
    customers in Asia.
    
    
--  Revenue was lower by 6% at $517 million. An overall increase in
    average price per case globally and favorable product mix in the U.K.
    was offset by lower overall volumes.
    
    
--  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased 230 basis points to
    11.7% compared to 9.4%. The margin improvement was due primarily to an
    increase in average price per case and our exit from certain low gross
    margin business globally, as well as increased operational
    efficiencies in North America.
    
    
--  Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were flat at
    $44 million.
    
    
--  Income before income taxes increased to $3 million compared to a loss
    before income taxes of $10 million.
    
    
--  Income taxes were a benefit of $1 million compared to a $1 million tax
    expense.
    
    
--  EBITDA increased 53% to $42 million compared to $27 million. Adjusted
    EBITDA increased 31% to $43 million compared to $32 million.
    
    
--  Free cash flow was $101 million arising from $120 million of net cash
    provided by operating activities less $19 million of capital
    expenditures, compared to $87 million of free cash flow arising from
    $104 million of net cash provided by operating activities less $17
    million of capital expenditures.

FOURTH QUARTER 2012 REPORTING SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS


 
--  North America filled beverage case volume was 146 million cases
    compared to 170 million cases. Revenue was lower by 9% at $384 million
    as an increase in average price per case was more than offset by our
    exit from certain low gross margin business alongside a continued
    general decline in the North American CSD and juice categories.
    
    
--  U.K. filled beverage case volume was 46 million cases compared to 49
    million cases due primarily to our exit from certain low gross margin
    business as well as the decrease in early customer orders ahead of
    future price increases compared to the prior period. Revenue increased
    5% (3% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) to $117 million as a
    result of an increase in average price per case and favorable product
    mix, including growth in the energy and sports drinks categories.
    
    
--  Mexico filled beverage case volume was 7 million cases compared to 8
    million cases. Revenue was lower by 15% (17% excluding the impact of
    foreign exchange) at $10 million due primarily to the loss of a
    regional brand license at the end of its term.
    
    
--  RCI concentrate volume was 58 million cases compared to 55 million
    cases. Revenue increased 11% to $6 million due primarily to the timing
    of shipments to customers in Asia.

FISCAL YEAR 2012 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY


 
--  Total filled beverage case volume (excluding concentrate sales) was
    867 million cases compared to 960 million cases. The volume decline
    was due primarily to our decision to exit certain low gross margin
    business in North America and the U.K. as well as a continued general
    decline in the North American CSD and juice categories. Including
    concentrate sales, volume was 1,247 million cases compared to 1,314
    million cases. Concentrate volume grew 7% due primarily to increased
    volume from a new customer in South America and the timing of
    shipments to customers in Asia.
    
    
--  Revenue was lower by 4% (3% excluding the impact of foreign exchange)
    at $2,251 million. An overall increase in average price per case
    globally and favorable product mix in the U.K. was offset by overall
    lower volumes and a product mix shift into juice drinks and sports
    drinks from 100% shelf-stable juice in North America.
    
    
--  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased 110 basis points to
    12.9% compared to 11.8%. The margin improvement was due primarily to
    an increase in average price per case and our exit from certain low
    gross margin business globally, as well as increased operational
    efficiencies in North America.
    
    
--  SG&A expenses were $178 million compared to $173 million. The
    modest increase in S
G&A expenses was driven primarily by higher
    employee-related costs compared to a lowering of the annual incentive
    and long-term incentive accruals in the prior year partially offset by
    lower information technology expenses in 2012.
    
    
--  Income before income taxes increased 41% to $57 million compared to
    $41 million.
    
    
--  Income taxes increased to a $5 million tax expense compared to a $1
    million tax benefit.
    
    
--  EBITDA increased 8% to $209 million compared to $193 million. Adjusted
    EBITDA increased 7% to $213 million compared to $199 million.
    
    
--  Free cash flow was $103 million arising from $173 million of net cash
    provided by operating activities less $70 million of capital
    expenditures, compared to $115 million of free cash flow arising from
    $164 million of net cash provided by operating activities less $49
    million of capital expenditures.

FISCAL YEAR 2012 REPORTING SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS


 
--  North America filled beverage case volume was 652 million cases
    compared to 728 million cases. Revenue was lower by 6% (5% excluding
    the impact of foreign exchange) at $1,707 million as an increase in
    average price per case was more than offset by our exit from certain
    low gross margin business, a continued general decline in the North
    American CSD and juice categories and a product mix shift into juice
    drinks and sports drinks from 100% shelf-stable juice.
    
    
--  U.K. filled beverage case volume was 190 million cases compared to 195
    million cases due primarily to our exit from certain low gross margin
    business as well as poor weather in the summer months. Revenue
    increased 6% (7% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) to $473
    million as a result of an increase in average price per case and
    favorable product mix, including growth in the energy and sports
    drinks categories.
    
    
--  Mexico filled beverage case volume was 26 million cases compared to 37
    million cases. Revenue was lower by 25% (18% excluding the impact of
    foreign exchange) at $39 million due primarily to the loss of a
    regional brand license at the end of its term, partially offset by
    increased contract manufacturing volume.
    
    
--  RCI concentrate volume was 278 million cases compared to 259 million
    cases. Revenue increased 22% to $31 million due primarily to increased
    volume from a new customer in South America and the timing of
    shipments to customers in Asia.

Defined Terms Certain defined terms used in this press release include the following. "GAAP" means U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. "Total filled beverage case volume" means filled beverage 8-ounce equivalents. "EBITDA" means GAAP earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. "Adjusted EBITDA" means GAAP earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding purchase accounting adjustments, integration expenses, restructuring expenses and asset impairments. "Free cash flow" means GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. See the accompanying reconciliation of Cott's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its GAAP net income, and Cott's free cash flow to its GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, as well as the "Non-GAAP Measures" paragraph below.

Non-GAAP Measures To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, Cott utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Cott excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes from Cott's results of operations. Cott utilizes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business. Because Cott uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Cott's underlying business performance and the performance of its management. Additionally, Cott supplements its reporting of net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding capital expenditures to present free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, pay dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Cott's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures, including but not limited to risk factors contained in Cott's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other periodic reports filed with the securities commissions.
