Ian Craig, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

 

"Our first quarter results reflected our positive momentum and strong execution. We achieved double-digit revenue, operating income, and net income growth in the face of unfavorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies. Notably, these results were supported by positive volume performance across most of our territories, including strong growth in Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, and Uruguay. On the profitability front, we remain focused on implementing cost and expense efficiencies, as we invest across our operations to increase capacity and support our growth.

 

Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on the strategic priorities and promoting sustainability and social responsibility across our markets. We are confident that we can execute against these priorities and deliver long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

·

On March 27, 2023, Coca-Cola FEMSA held its Annual Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, during which its shareholders approved among other things, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the annual report presented by the Board of Directors, the declaration and payment of dividends corresponding to the fiscal year 2022, and the appointment or reelection of the members of the Board of Directors, the Planning and Finance, Audit and Corporate Practices Committees for 2023. The shareholders’ meeting approved the payment of a cash dividend of Ps. 0.725 per share (equivalent to Ps. 5.80 per unit) to be paid in two installments: the first installment for the amount of Ps. 0.3625 as of May 3, 2023, and the second installment for the amount of Ps. 0.3625 as of November 3, 2023, for all outstanding shares on the payment date.

 

·

Coca-Cola FEMSA released its 2022 integrated report entitled “Future-Ready,” the annual report on Form 20-F filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the annual report filing to the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores). These three reports are available on the Investor Relations section of Coca-Cola FEMSA´s website at www.coca-colafemsa.com

 

·

At the end of last year, Coca-Cola FEMSA acquired Cristal bulk water business from Embotelladoras Bepensa in the southeast region of Mexico. The results from this acquisition for the first quarter of 2023 include 15.1 million unit cases. As a result, excluding these volumes, consolidated volumes would have increased 4.9%.

 

·

The company continues progressing in the rollout of its Juntos+, its business-to-business (B2B) omnichannel commercial platform. During the quarter the company reached over 900 thousand digital active buyers on a consolidated level, driven mainly by an increase in Mexico, who reached 460 thousand active buyers and Brazil, with 230 thousand.

 

·

On April 26, the Company announced that it experienced a cybersecurity incident in recent days and has implemented its cybersecurity protection and response protocols. The Company is currently working with experts on measures to prevent an adverse impact on its information technology applications. While such measures are implemented, the Company expects to continue its business operations through backup procedures, and will prioritize its protection of the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of its information. A forensic assessment to determine the extent of the cybersecurity incident is currently ongoing.

CONSOLIDATED FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

CONSOLIDATED FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
		As Reported				Comparable (1)
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos		1Q 2023	1Q 2022	Δ%		Δ%
Total revenues		57,357	51,195	12.0%		21.7%
Gross profit		25,458	22,602	12.6%		21.8%
Operating income		7,724	6,844	12.9%		20.3%
EBITDA (2)		10,522	9,827	7.1%		15.2%

 

Volume increased 6.6% to 939.6 million unit cases, driven by volume growth in most of our territories, including strong performance in Mexico, Brazil, and Guatemala. On a comparable basis, excluding the acquisition of CVI in Brazil, total volume would have increased 6.2%.

 

Total revenues increased 12.0% to Ps. 57,357 million. This increase was driven by volume growth, revenue management initiatives and favorable mix effects. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 21.7%.

 

Gross profit increased 12.6% to Ps. 25,458 million, and gross margin increased 30 basis points to 44.4%. This gross profit increase was driven mainly by our top-line growth and was partially offset by higher raw material costs, mainly sweeteners and PET across our territories. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 21.8%.

 

Operating income increased 12.9% to Ps. 7,724 million, and operating margin increased 10 basis points to 13.5%. This expansion was driven mainly by a solid top-line performance and an operating foreign exchange gain in Mexico as a result of the appreciation of the Mexican Peso. These effects were partially offset by an increase in raw material costs, mainly sweeteners and PET, coupled with an increase in operating expenses such as labor, marketing, and maintenance. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 20.3%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,399 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 2,194 million in the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by a gain of Ps. 56 million in financial instruments as compared to a loss of Ps. 936 million that was driven mainly by a one-off market value loss that was recognized during the same period of 2022.

In addition, we recognized a decrease in our interest expense, net, mainly as a result of a gain in our interest income of Ps. 1,042 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 405 million that was driven by an increase in interest rates.

These effects were partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 640 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 165 million, as our net cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and the Brazilian Real. Moreover, we recognized a lower gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 32.4% as compared to 29.5%. This increase was driven mainly by inflationary effects across our territories, effects of non-recoverable withholdings, and deferred taxes.

 

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 3,916 million as compared to Ps. 2,894 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth, coupled with a one-off non-cash effect that affected our comprehensive financial result during the same period of 2022. Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.23 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.86 and per ADS were Ps. 18.85.).

MEXICO & CENTRAL AMERICA DIVISION FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

(Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua)

 

 

 

MEXICO & CENTRAL AMERICA DIVISION RESULTS
		As Reported				Comparable (1)
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos		1Q 2023	1Q 2022	Δ%		Δ%
Total revenues		33,617	28,935	16.2%		17.9%
Gross profit		15,919	14,007	13.6%		15.2%
Operating income		5,011	4,950	1.2%		2.5%
EBITDA (2)		6,706	6,722	(0.2%)		1.1%

 

 

Volume increased 8.8% driven by growth across all territories in the division. These volumes include the integration of Cristal bulk water business. Excluding these volumes, volume would have increased 5.7% in the division and 4.8% in Mexico.

 

Total revenues increased 16.2% to Ps. 33,617 million, driven by volume growth and revenue management initiatives. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies in Central America. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation effects, total revenues would have increased 17.9%.

 

Gross profit increased 13.6% to Ps. 15,919 million, and gross margin contracted 100 basis points to 47.4%. This margin decrease was driven mainly by an increase in raw material costs such as sweeteners and concentrate in Mexico. These effects were partially offset by our top-line growth, favorable raw material hedging initiatives and the appreciation of the Mexican Peso as applied to our dollar-denominated raw material costs. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 15.2%.

 

Operating income increased 1.2% to Ps. 5,011 million and operating margin contracted 220 basis points to 14.9%, driven mainly by an increase in operating expenses such as labor, marketing, and maintenance that were partially offset by an operating foreign exchange gain in Mexico. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 2.5%.

EBITDA (2)		3,816	3,105	22.9%		52.7%

 

 

 

Volume increased 3.8%, driven mainly by a solid performance in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, partially offset by a flat performance in Colombia. On a comparable basis, excluding volumes from the acquisition of CVI in Brazil, volume would have increased 2.8%.

 

Total revenues increased 6.6% to Ps. 23,740 million, driven by our volume growth, revenue management and favorable mix effects. This increase was partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects of most of our operating currencies in the division into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 27.5%.

 

Gross profit increased 11.0% to Ps. 9,539 million, and gross margin expanded 160 basis points to 40.2%. This increase was driven mainly by our top-line growth, favorable mix effects, and raw material hedging strategies. This increase was partially offset by increases in raw material costs such as sweeteners and PET. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 34.8%.

 

Operating income increased 43.3% to Ps. 2,713 million in the first quarter of 2023, resulting in an operating margin expansion of 290 basis points to 11.4%. This increase was driven mainly by higher gross profit and an increase in operating leverage resulting from volume growth and operating expense efficiencies. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 77.7%.

DEFINITIONS

Volume is expressed in unit cases. Unit case refers to 192 ounces of finished beverage product (24 eight-ounce servings) and, when applied to soda fountains, refers to the volume of syrup, powders, and concentrate that is required to produce 192 ounces of finished beverage product.

 

Transactions refers to the number of single units (e.g., a can or a bottle) sold, regardless of their size or volume or whether they are sold individually or in multipacks, except for soda fountains, which represent multiple transactions based on a standard 12 oz. serving.

 

Operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure computed as “gross profit – operating expenses – other operating expenses, net + operative equity method (gain) loss in associates.”

 

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure computed as “operating income + depreciation + amortization & other operating non-cash charges.”

 

Earnings per share are equal to “quarterly earnings / outstanding shares.” Earnings per share (EPS) for all periods are adjusted to give effect to the stock split resulting in 16,806,658,096 shares outstanding. For the convenience of the reader, as a KOFUBL Unit is comprised of 8 shares (3 Series B shares and 5 Series L shares), earnings per unit are equal to EPS multiplied by 8. Each ADS represents 10 KOFUBL Units.

 

COMPARABILITY

Our “comparable” term means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change of a given measure excluding the effects of: (i) mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, in this case the acquisition of CVI in Brazil, integrated as of February 2022; and (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements. In preparing this measure, management has used its best judgment, estimates, and assumptions in order to maintain comparability.
