S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook to negative from
stable for Coca-Cola HBC AG, whose operations include Coca-Cola
sales in Russia and Ukraine.
S&P, which affirmed the company's ratings, said Russia
represented about 15.5% of total volume in 2021.
Last week, Coca-Cola Co. said it would suspend operations in
Russia. As of Dec. 31, Coca-Cola Co. owned about 21% of Coca-Cola
HBC.
In addition to "material disruptions" resulting from the
suspension, Coca-Cola HBC faces issues including high commodity
costs, S&P said.
