Coca-Cola made five substantive modifications to existing risk disclosures while maintaining 37 unchanged risks and adding or removing no risk categories. The most significant revisions involved heightened emphasis on bottling partner relationships, health-related demand pressures, retail landscape disruptions, product safety vulnerabilities, and workforce management challenges. These modifications reflect evolving operational and market pressures without introducing fundamentally new risk categories to the company's disclosure framework.

We generate a significant portion of our net operating revenues by selling concentrates and syrups to independent bottling partners. For the year ended December 31, 2025, one bottler accounted for 10% of our net operating revenues, which are reflected in our EMEA and Asia Pacific operating segments. As independent companies, our bottling partners, some of which are publicly traded companies, make their own business decisions that may not always align with our interests. In addition, some of our bottling partners have the right to manufacture or distribute their own products or certain products of other beverage companies. If we are unable to maintain operating and strategic alignment or agree on appropriate pricing and marketing and advertising support, or if our bottling partners are not satisfied with our brand innovation and development efforts, they may take actions that, while maximizing their own short-term profits, may be detrimental to our Company or our brands, or they may devote more of their resources to business opportunities or products other than those of the Company. Further, actions by our bottling partners, including related to product quality, safety, marketing practices, labor relations, regulatory compliance, sustainability, or other matters could adversely affect the reputation, consumer perception, or value of our brands, even if we are not directly responsible for such actions. Such actions could, in the long term, have an adverse effect on our profitability.
