This week, our Bitesize Investor series returned, shining a spotlight on Egypt and giving investors and analysts a closer look at the progress and potential of the business. For the first time, the event also adopted a hybrid format, bringing together in-person and virtual audiences. A large, dynamic and culturally rich country, Egypt is a strategically important market with strong momentum. Since our acquisition in 2022, it has become our third-largest market, accounting for around 11% of our total volumes. Our Group Chief Operating Officer, Naya Kalogeraki, General Manager for Egypt, Adnan Topic, Chief Financial Officer for Egypt, Kostis Vairlis, and People & Culture Director for Egypt, Sherif Fouad, together with members of our Executive Leadership Team, shared perspectives on Egypt's progress since the acquisition, highlighting the investments, capabilities, portfolio expansion and strong partnerships with The Coca-Cola Company and Monster Energy that have strengthened the business and created new opportunities for growth. At the heart of this progress are our teams in Egypt, whose talent, commitment and expertise continue to drive success across the country. We are excited about the opportunities ahead in Egypt and across Africa, and the important role the continent continues to play in our company’s growth journey.

It was great to host analysts and investors in Cairo earlier this week for the latest event in Coca-Cola HBC's Bitesize Investor series, focused on our Egypt business. During the session, our COO Naya Kalogeraki, Egypt General Manager Adnan Topic, Egypt CFO Kostis Vairlis, and Egypt People & Culture Director Sherif Fouad, shared insights into progress made since acquiring the business in 2022 – including details on the integration process, the work we have done to develop our capabilities and the expansion of our 24/7 portfolio. We also made sure to take our guests into Cairo to see our execution in the market and visited one of our plants to see our best-in-class supply chain facilities. Bringing Coca-Cola HBC’s investment case to life is the best part of our job in IR – and I’m so grateful to my team and the local team for all their hard work in the lead-up to and during the event.

A $25 million vote of confidence is reshaping the future of Middle East manufacturing. International Finance Corporation (IFC) is backing Egypt’s Edita Food Industries in a bold push into Iraq, signaling more than just expansion. It reflects a growing shift: African consumer brands are no longer staying local; they’re building regional powerhouses. Edita plans to more than double its production capacity in Iraq by 2028, tapping into a market increasingly seen as the next frontier for growth. At a time when access to long-term industrial financing remains limited, this deal highlights how global development capital is stepping in to fuel strategic expansion. But this isn’t just about snacks, it’s about strategy. It’s about early movers securing market share, diversifying revenue, and redefining where Africa’s leading companies can compete. The big question: will more African manufacturers follow this cross-border playbook? 📌Tap the comment below to read the full story.

A visual breakdown of the largest initial public offerings in African corporate history Public equity markets remain a vital avenue for institutional capital mobilization on the continent, with telecommunications, retail, and energy driving the largest listings to date. The retail sector holds the record for the largest listing, led by Pepkor with a massive one point two five billion dollar public offering in 2017. Telecommunications follows closely with immense structural transactions, highlighted by Maroc Telecom raising one point zero seven billion dollars in 2004, Telecom Egypt at eight hundred and ninety one million dollars in 2005, and both Airtel Africa and Safaricom securing eight hundred million dollars in 2008. The energy corridor also showcases massive listings, driven by Kenya Pipeline Company at eight hundred and twenty five million dollars in 2026 and Seplat Energy at five hundred million dollars in 2014. The landscape is set for further disruption as the upcoming Dangote Refinery public offering is projected to become the largest initial public offering in African history. These historic listings prove that despite regional macroeconomic fluctuations, deep pools of public capital exist for scalable institutional assets. Will the highly anticipated Dangote Refinery listing catalyze a new wave of local public listings across other major industrial sectors?
