2Q26 PRESS RELEASE

It is my pleasure to share with you our 2Q26 financial results, for the first time as CEO of CCU, Company in which I have worked for more than 20 years, and I am proud to lead at a time that we need to look to the future with the strength and conviction that has always characterized us, as we face a particularly challenging context. Nonetheless, we have always shown a long-standing track record of adaptability and execution. Therefore, to continue successfully shaping our future, I would like to mention some relevant changes that we have defined. We have designed the strategy “Vamos por Más”, which is built on four pillars: (i) increase our focus on the business, (ii) boost operational synergies, (iii) act with greater agility, and (iv) accelerate our transformation. These pillars are oriented to generate growth and to respond to the new demands and challenges of the market. To support this strategy, we will execute changes in our organizational structure as well as strengthening our internal processes and capabilities, to remain at the cutting edge of new trends while enhancing our technological transformation. This transition will be implemented gradually throughout this year, with our main focus being to ensure operational continuity and performance. I am confident in the commitment that has always characterized all CCU employees, and together we will prepare CCU to successfully navigate current and future challenges.

Regarding our 2Q26 performance, CCU delivered a solid 59.4% EBITDA expansion, and 178 bps of EBITDA margin improvement, mostly driven by a robust set of results in our main Operating segment, Chile, which expanded EBITDA 26.2% and rose EBITDA margin by 264 bps. The International Business Operating segment, also contributed to a higher EBITDA, by posting a 25.8% lower EBITDA loss, as we continued facing a soft consumption environment in Argentina. On the other hand, the Wine Operating segment contracted EBITDA by 61.9%, sharply impacted by unfavorable trends for the wine category globally and a higher cost of wine.

Consolidated Net sales grew 4.8%, almost fully explained by 6.4% higher average prices in CLP, as volumes declined 1.5%. Higher prices in CLP were mostly a consequence of revenue management initiatives in all our Operating segments, and in terms of volumes, the 2.5% increase in the Chile Operating segment was offset by decreases of 7.4% and 13.7% in the International Business and Wine Operating segment, respectively. Gross profit grew 6.8%, and Gross margin improved 76 bps. MSD&A expenses rose 3.3% due to higher distribution expenses, associated with higher oil prices during the quarter, and restructuring expenses in Argentina and the Wine Operating segment. This was partially offset through ongoing efficiency initiatives, mainly in logistics. As a percentage of Net sales, MSD&A expenses decreased 62 bps. In all, EBITDA totalized CLP 31,591 million, growing 59.4%. Net income recorded a loss of CLP 20,712 million, compared with a loss of CLP 11,218 million in 2Q25. The higher loss was mostly due to a non-recurrent negative effect of CLP 6,068 million from an impairment loss related to Bolivia, and lower income taxes in 2Q25 coming from a non-recurring positive tax effect in Argentina.

In terms of our segments, the Chile Operating segment expanded top line by 1.5%, explained by 2.5% higher volumes, gaining overall market share versus 2Q25, partially offset by 1.0% decrease in average prices in CLP. During the quarter, non-alcoholic categories grew mid-single digits, outweighing the low-single digits decline in alcoholic categories, which encompasses beer and spirits. Flavored low-alcohol ready to drink products, led by brands such as “Stones” in beer and “Mistral Ice” and “Kantal” in spirits, continue to show excellent results, with volumes growing double digits in the quarter and representing 8.3% of total alcohol in this segment as of June 2026. Average prices contracted due to mix effects in the portfolio, partially offset by revenue management initiatives in all categories. Gross profit increased 9.4% and Gross margin expanded 328 bps, mainly driven by lower direct costs, mostly coming from the 5.0% appreciation of the CLP against the USD, impacting favorably our USD-denominated costs, partially offset by higher aluminum prices. MSD&A expenses grew 3.5%, below inflation, although as a percentage of Net sales increased 71 bps due to expenses pressures coming from higher distribution costs, partially offset by efficiencies. Altogether, EBITDA totalized CLP 53,401 million, a 26.2% increase, and EBITDA margin expanded 264 bps, reaching 13.5%.

I would like to mention that during the quarter, CCU acquired a 49.9% equity interest that Nestlé Chile S.A. held in our subsidiary Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. After this acquisition, CCU reached 100% ownership in this subsidiary, allowing us to further consolidate our leadership in a steadily growing water industry in Chile, which is expanding low-double digits as of June 2026. Following this transaction, we will maintain our strategic relationship with Nestlé Chile S.A., continuing the distribution of their ready-to-drink coffee based beverage products and water brands in Chile.

In the International Business Operating segment, Net sales increased 15.7%, driven by 24.9% higher average prices in CLP, partially offset by a 7.4% contraction in volumes. Higher average prices in CLP, was due to revenue management initiatives, mainly with price actions in Argentina in line with inflation. Volumes in this segment were below last year mainly explained by Argentina, due to a high-single digit contraction in beer and water, and a difficult business scenario in Bolivia, marked by social unrest and roadblocks that disrupted our operations. Gross profit increased 20.8%, and Gross margin grew 163 bps. MSD&A expenses grew 7.6%, and as a percentage of Net sales decreased 460 bps. EBITDA resulted in a loss of CLP 19,953 million, versus a loss of CLP 26,892 million in 2Q25. During the quarter, we incurred restructuring expenses in Argentina by CLP 1,408 million.

The Wine Operating segment posted a top line drop of 14.1%, mostly driven by a 13.7% decrease in volumes as average prices contracted 0.5%. Lower volumes were driven by industry contraction in exports and domestic market in Chile. The decline in average prices were lower due to a negative mix effect in the portfolio and a stronger CLP against the USD which impacted negatively export revenues. These effects were partially offset by revenue management initiatives. Gross profit fell 26.9%, and Gross margin contracted 560 bps, mostly due to cost pressures from a higher cost of wine, partially offset by efficiencies in manufacturing. MSD&A expenses dropped 3.7% mostly due to the lower business scale. Altogether, EBITDA reached CLP 4,298 million, a 61.9% decrease. During the quarter, we incurred restructuring expenses amounting CLP 1,633 million. To navigate the difficult scenario in the wine business we will continue pursuing efficiencies and keep developing a strategy of accelerating high-margin innovation; in this regard as of June 2026, flavored low-alcohol ready to drink products almost doubled versus last year, mostly driven by the launch of the single-serve can version of our brand “Gato Selección Dulce” among other brands, backed by our multicategory production capabilities.

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

Finally, to navigate the current challenging and volatile business context and keep projecting CCU’s future, we will act with more agility and focus, while delivering synergies and efficiencies across all our operating segments, together with strengthening our portfolio to adapt to new consumer trends by growing in high-margin innovation categories. Working together with collaboration we will be prepared with strength for our 2027-2030 Strategic Plan, with more focus, more synergies, more agility and more transformation, “Vamos por Más”.

Finally, in terms of Public Affairs and with the aim of fostering dialogue and collaboration, the Company, in partnership with SOFOFA—Chile's leading industrial association—held the latest event of 'Empresas Abiertas' at its PET bottle recycling plant, CirCCUlar.
