ANADOLU EFES CONSOLIDATED
The strong volume performance delivered in both business lines in such a challenging year like 2021 is the testimony of the agility and adaptability muscles of our business; thanks to the actions we have taken in the face of uncertainty while ensuring the right strategy in an environment where the priorities were ever-changing.
Anadolu Efes' consolidated sales volumes showed a solid growth and increased by 13.2% year-on-year on a reported basis; reaching 23.9 mhl in 4Q2021; while both business lines contributed positively to this growth. Excluding the impact of Uzbekistan from our soft drinks operation's volumes in 4Q2021, the year-on-year growth was 6.6%.
Despite the price increases implemented during the period to address the cost inflation, the consolidated volume performance in 4Q have significantly outpaced our expectations. While soft drink operations continued their strong momentum in the last quarter, 2021 was a year full of record-high performances for CCI. In beer group, there was growth both domestically and internationally where Russian beer operations showed another phenomenal performance in the quarter continuing its growth momentum. Although the challenges caused by the pandemic remained intact in the last quarter of the year, Turkey and CIS beer operations have shown volume increases benefiting from cycling a low base.
As a result, Anadolu Efes consolidated volume reached 116.1 mhl in FY2021; growing by 12.2% on a reported basis, significantly outpacing our guidance of mid-to-high single digit growth. Excluding the impact of Uzbekistan from our soft drinks operation's volumes in FY2021, the year-on-year growth was 10.9%.
BEER GROUP
Beer Group volume grew by 6.0% in 4Q2021 taking up FY2021 volumes to 37.9 mhl with year-on-year increase of 4.7%; outperforming our guidance of low-single digit growth.

Russian beer volumes were up by high-single digits in 4Q2021 despite relatively higher pricing, bringing up FY volume growth to mid-to-high single digits, which yielded the fourth year of growth in a row since the establishment of JV. The robust growth in the portfolio was nourished by the strong performance in global brands, which was mainly led by BUD brand. On top of that, we have become the second largest player in non-alco segment as a result significant outperformance of the non-alco market where the market growth was around 10% in FY2021. The momentum achieved in premium segment yielded higher value share gain than that of volume share on a year-on-year basis.
Ukraine volumes were down this quarter as well; bringing the FY decline to around low-teens digits on a year-on year basis. The volumes in the quarter were mainly affected by increased promotions by the competition. Global brand performance was the major contributor to the volumes in Ukraine which was also supported by the good momentum achieved in cider segment which addresses our strategy to develop adjacent categories.
In CIS countries, the volumes were up by mid-teens on average in the last quarter as well as in FY. In Kazakhstan, the market growth was assisted by the growth in GDP in 2021 where the market also benefitted from eased restrictions.

In Georgia, the market volumes as well as our volumes have seen strong growth rates fueled by the economic rebound as a result of increased exports and favorable tourism in the country.
Turkey beer total sales volume was recorded as 1.2 mhl in 4Q2021, with a very solid year-on-year growth of 10.1%. Pandemic continue to pose significant challenges to our business, but relatively less restrictive environment during 4Q helped year-on-year volume growth where last year's volumes were affected by sales limitations and lockdowns. Economic volatility and high inflation environment in the country, which will be critical for 2022 volumes had already started to affect volumes especially in the last month. With the volume growth achieved in the last quarter, Turkey beer total sales volume reached to 4.9 mhl in FY2021, up 5.2% year-on-year, supported by double-digit growth in export volumes to Belarus, China and MENA countries.
