CCU: 6-K · earnings release
CCU (Compañía Cervecerías Unidas) furnished its 2Q26 results via Form 6-K: net sales rose 4.8% to CLP 607,801 million on 6.4% higher average prices, while consolidated volumes slipped 1.5%. EBITDA jumped 59.4% to CLP 31,591 million with margin up 178 bps to 5.2%.
The bottom line deteriorated: net income was a loss of CLP 20,712 million versus a CLP 11,218 million loss a year earlier, hurt by a non-recurring CLP 6,068 million impairment tied to Bolivia and the absence of a prior-year Argentine tax benefit. First-half net income still fell 28.8% to CLP 33,143 million.
By segment, Chile was the standout with volumes up 2.5%, EBITDA up 26.2% to CLP 53,401 million and overall market share gains, while the International Business EBITDA loss narrowed 25.8% to CLP 19,953 million amid soft Argentina and Bolivia social unrest. Wine EBITDA collapsed 61.9% to CLP 4,298 million on a 13.7% volume decline.
Strategically, CCU's new CEO (first quarter at the helm) unveiled the 'Vamos por Más' plan with organizational changes, and CCU bought Nestlé Chile's 49.9% stake in Aguas CCU-Nestlé to own the water subsidiary outright; PepsiCo also named CCU 'Bottler of the Year' for 2025. Leverage ticked up, with Net Financial Debt/EBITDA at 2.43 versus 2.03 at year-end and cash down to CLP 346,974 million.

The transaction was executed via a Share Purchase Agreement signed on June 5, 2026, following unanimous board approval on May 6, 2026.

This move consolidates CCU’s control over a leading player in Chile’s growing water industry, which includes mineral and bottled water brands.
Despite the full acquisition, CCU will maintain its commercial relationship with Nestlé, continuing to distribute ready-to-drink products in the water and coffee-based beverage markets in Chile.
