Covid-19 Pandemic
 
With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, as of the date of this report, we continue selling, producing and distributing our products, in all of our business operations. Since the COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organization, we have implemented a regional plan in the countries where we operate with three priorities: the health and safety of all our workers and the people we interact with, the continuity of our operations, and the financial health of the Company. To achieve these objectives, we established seven Corporate Covid Protocols in all our facilities, we have fully met the measures dictated by the authorities, actively promoted preventive and self-care measures to our workers and we allowed home-office for thousands of people, when it was possible. All of the measures, allowed us to maintain a safe work environment, being essential to balance the safety of the people and to continue supplying our customers and consumers with our products without interruption.
 
Along with the above, the Company has developed several initiatives for the benefit of the community which it interacts with, based on innovation, using its facilities, raw materials and production processes to develop protection supplies against the virus. Some of the initiatives were the donation of hand sanitizer and disinfectant alcohol to the Ministry of Health in Chile, the donation of face shields and acrylic protectors to our clients and other public institutions, the coordination of an humanitarian flight to return Chilean and Colombian citizens to their country, food and health supply donations, and street sanitation in the communities near our operating centers among others.
 
Regarding the financial health of the Company, before the beginning of the pandemic, CCU had a solid financial position with a healthy balance sheet with low financial debt, this condition has allowed us to access the local financial market to obtain the necessary financing to provide continuity to its medium and long-term plans, and if necessary, it would allow us to access the international market. The latter can be noted in a decrease of around 12% of the net financial debt (compare with 2019)
,
which was mainly due to a contraction in our Cash inflow from operating activities excluding Income tax paid and the optimization of working capital.
[MNJO1]
 
In terms of Net income attributable to the equity holders of the parent (a decreased of 26.1% versus 2019), its contraction was mainly due to the devaluation of the CLP and ARS currencies against the USD, affecting costs indexed to USD and negative currency translation effects. However, there was an impact on financial results due to the pandemic, which negatively affected higher margin consumer occasions, through distribution channels and packaging formats. The latter although it was limited and it has been diminished in recent months, it cannot be ruled out that it will deepen in 2021 as a result of a possible resurgence of Covid-19 outbreak
