                    2. During the year-to-date third quarter period of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the Japanese economy continued to show a modest recovery with continued improvement of the job market and income situation as well as positive indicators of consumer sentiment and consumer spending.

                      In the soft drink industry, the market remained almost flat in terms of sales volume when compared to the same period in the previous year, reflecting poor weather during the summer peak season in eastern Japan, with continuous rain in the Kanto and Tohoku regions. Continued roll-outs of FOSHU (Food for Specific Health Usage), functional-claim and other value-added products have helped to offset this negative impact of weather on industry volume performance.

                      Both the health food and cosmetics industries continue to generate positive results, supported by launches of functional-claim food products and a stream of market entrants from other industries driven by the demand from health-conscious consumers in the health food industry. In the cosmetics industry, consumer needs continue to diversify and the demand from inbound tourism has also contributed growth.

                      In this operating environment, in order to pursue new business opportunities and realize sustainable growth, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. (CCBJI) was formed through the business integration of Coca-Cola West (CCW) and Coca-Cola East Japan Co., Ltd. (CCEJ) effective April 1, 2017 through a combination of a share exchange and an absorption-type company split.

                      Furthermore, CCBJI (the Company) announced a medium-term business plan, the "Growth Roadmap for 2020

                      & Beyond" for the period up to 2020, which sets forth the Company's strategic initiatives, namely profitable revenue growth, integration synergies, establishment of a new operating model and a holistic financial framework to create shareholder value while investing in people capability development and shared value with local communities. The Company will focus on these initiatives to achieve sustainable growth, leverage the synergy effects of the business integration, and continue to lead the domestic soft drink industry.

                      The summary of financial results for the year-to-date third quarter period of this fiscal year is as follows.

                      Year-to-date third quarter, consolidated net revenues of the soft drink business increased by 293,576 million yen to 622,837 million yen (up 89.2%) year on year, primarily owing to factors such as the business integration of CCW and CCEJ effective as of April 1, 2017. Consolidated net revenues of the healthcare & skincare business fell by 2,198 million yen to 22,251 million yen (down 9.0%) year on year. As a result, the total consolidated net revenues increased by 291,378 million yen to 645,088 million yen (up 82.4%) year on year.

                      Year-to-date third quarter, consolidated operating income of the soft drink business increased by 19,832 million yen to 36,341 million yen (up 120.1%) year on year, due to an increase in net revenues led by the business integration described above as well as a decrease of expenses brought by the change in depreciation method for fixed assets and cost savings initiatives (at both CCW and CCEJ). Consolidated operating income in the healthcare & skincare business fell by 252 million yen to 2,264 million yen (down 10.0%) year, due to factors such as the aforementioned drop in net revenues. As a result, the total consolidated operating income for the year-to-date period increased by 19,508 million yen to 38,606 million yen (up 102.9%) year on year.

                      Furthermore, consolidated recurring income increased by 19,556 million yen to 37,876 million yen (up 106.7%) year on year.

                      Year-to-date third quarter, net profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 13,170 million yen to 23,797 million yen (up 123.9%) year on year, mainly due to an increase in recurring income, etc.

                      Year-to-date third quarter pro-forma revenues, assuming the business integration of CCW and CCEJ from January 2017 and estimating 2016 results using the same standard, decreased by 12,892 million yen to 764,029 million yen (down 1.7%) year on year, mainly impacted by a decrease of sales volume partly driven by poor weather as well as our continued focus on driving profitability. Year-to-date pro-forma operating income increased by 2,620 million yen to 40,131 million yen (up 7.0%) year on year driven by cost reductions in manufacturing as well as generating integration synergies in the soft drink business, etc. Year-to-date pro-forma net profit attributable to shareholders of parent was 24,389 million yen, up 2,599 million yen (11.9 %) year on year.
