FEMSA Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results

 

Monterrey, Mexico, July 23, 2015 — Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (“FEMSA”) announced today its operational and financial results for the second quarter of 2015.

 

Second Quarter 2015 Highlights:

  

·FEMSA consolidated total revenues increased 5.9% and income from operations grew 4.7% compared to the second quarter of 2014, driven by solid growth at FEMSA Comercio. On an organic basis1 total revenues decreased 1.2% and income from operations grew 4.4%.

 

·FEMSA Comercio achieved total revenues growth of 31.4% and income from operations growth of 21.3% compared to the second quarter of 2014, reflecting the incorporation of OXXO Gas operations and 5.3% growth in same-store sales. On an organic basis1 total revenues and income from operations grew 13.5% and 20.9%, respectively.

 

·Coca-Cola FEMSA total revenues decreased 11.8% and income from operations decreased 2.0% compared to the second quarter of 2014, reflecting the negative translation effect from the Venezuelan operation as well as the devaluation of the Brazilian real and the Colombian peso. On a currency neutral basis and excluding Venezuela, total revenues and income from operations grew 8.3% and 18.8%, respectively.

 

Carlos Salazar Lomelín, FEMSA’s CEO, commented: “Looking at our second quarter results, there are many reasons to be optimistic. At FEMSA Comercio, the trend of same-store sales for OXXO continues to improve gradually, and it increasingly reflects a better mix of ticket and traffic. And we continue to grow at healthy rates across formats, including drugstores where we closed our acquisition of Farmacon during the quarter, and gasoline stations where we are making progress according to plan. At Coca-Cola FEMSA, we continue to face challenging environments in several key markets. However, once you look beyond the extreme volatility of exchange rates, particularly in Venezuela and to a lesser extent in Colombia and Brazil, you find healthy operating dynamics in several of our markets, starting with Mexico where we are able to implement positive pricing and capture solid margin expansion, and continuing to most of our territories where we are achieving market share gains as we focus on generating incremental transactions and on optimizing our portfolio strategy.”

FEMSA Consolidated

 

Total revenues increased 5.9% compared to 2Q14 to Ps. 75.120 billion in 2Q15, driven by FEMSA Comercio. On an organic basis1 total revenues decreased 1.2% compared to 2Q14.

 

For the first half of 2015, consolidated total revenues increased 2.9% compared to the same period in 2014 to Ps. 140.443 billion, driven by FEMSA Comercio. On an organic basis1, total revenues for the first half of 2015 decreased 2.0% compared to the same period in 2014.

 

Gross profit decreased 1.2% compared to 2Q14 to Ps. 29.398 billion in 2Q15. Gross margin decreased 280 basis points compared to the same period in 2014 to 39.1% of total revenues, reflecting a gross margin contraction at FEMSA Comercio driven by the incorporation of OXXO Gas operations, which have a lower gross margin than FEMSA Comercio’s other operations.

 

For the first half of 2015, gross profit decreased 3.1% compared to the same period in 2014 to Ps. 55.148 billion. Gross margin decreased 240 basis points compared to the same period in 2014 to 39.3% of total revenues reflecting a gross margin contraction at FEMSA Comercio driven by the incorporation of OXXO Gas operations, which have a lower gross margin than FEMSA Comercio’s other operations.

 

Income from operations increased 4.7% compared to 2Q14 to Ps. 8.325 billion in 2Q15. On an organic basis1 income from operations increased 4.4% compared to the same period in 2014. Consolidated operating margin decreased 10 basis points compared to 2Q14, to 11.1% of total revenues in 2Q15, driven by margin contraction at FEMSA Comercio.

 

For the first half of 2015, income from operations increased 1.0% compared to the same period in 2014 to Ps. 14.196 billion. On an organic basis1, income from operations decreased 2.4%. Our consolidated operating margin year-to-date decreased 20 basis points to 10.1% as a percentage of total revenues as compared to the same period of 2014.

 

Our effective income tax rate was 33.6% in 2Q15 compared to 37.3% in 2Q14 in line with our expected medium-term range of low 30s.

 

Net consolidated income increased 18.7% compared to 2Q14 to Ps. 5.296 billion in 2Q15, reflecting lower financing expenses and an increase in FEMSA’s reported 20% participation in Heineken’s results. As is customary, for 2Q15 we are using Heineken’s 1Q15 net income figure, however we are making an adjustment to exclude the extraordinary gain from the sale of their packaging business in Mexico that was booked in 1Q15.

 

For the first half of 2015, net consolidated income increased 15.9% to Ps. 9.649 billion compared to the same period of 2014, mainly driven by an increase in FEMSA’s reported 20% participation in Heineken’s results, and to a lesser extent by lower financing expenses.

 

Net majority income for 2Q15 was Ps. 1.08 per FEMSA Unit2. Net majority income per FEMSA ADS was US$ 0.69 for the second quarter of 2015. For the first half of 2015, net majority income per FEMSA Unit1 was Ps. 1.96 (US$ 1.25 per ADS).

 2July 23, 2015

Capital expenditures amounted to Ps. 3.701 billion in 2Q15, reflecting lower investments at Coca-Cola FEMSA.

FEMSA Comercio

 

Total revenues increased 31.4% compared to 2Q14 to Ps. 36.667 billion in 2Q15, reflecting the incorporation of OXXO Gas operations and the opening of 258 net new OXXO stores in the quarter to reach 1,061 total net new store openings for the last twelve months. On an organic basis3, total revenues increased 13.5% compared to 2Q14. As of June 30, 2015, FEMSA Comercio had a total of 13,265 OXXO stores. Same-store sales increased an average of 5.3% for the second quarter of 2015 over 2Q14. This performance was driven by a 4.2% increase in average customer ticket and a 1.1% increase in store traffic.

 

For the first half of 2015, total revenues increased 25.6% compared to the same period in 2014 to Ps. 65.654 billion. On an organic basis3, total revenues for the first half of 2015 increased 13.0% compared to the same period in 2014. FEMSA Comercio’s same-store sales increased an average of 4.8% compared to the same period in 2014, driven by a 4.2% increase in average customer ticket and a 0.6% increase in store traffic.

 

Gross profit increased by 15.8% in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, resulting in a 420 basis point gross margin contraction to 30.7% of total revenues. This contraction mainly reflects the incorporation of OXXO Gas operations, which have a lower gross margin than FEMSA Comercio’s other operations. For the first half of 2015 and for the same reason, gross margin contracted by 270 basis points compared to the same period in 2014 to 31.4% of total revenues.

 

Income from operations increased 21.3% over 2Q14 to Ps. 2.578 billion in 2Q15. On an organic basis3, income from operations increased 20.9% in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14. Operating expenses increased 14.2% in 2Q15 to Ps. 8.679 billion, below revenue growth. In spite of this, operating margin contracted 60 basis points compared to 2Q14, to 7.0% of total revenues in 2Q15, driven by the lower gross margin.

 

For the first half of 2015, income from operations increased 22.8% compared to the same period in 2014 to Ps. 3.881 billion, resulting in an operating margin of 5.9%, which represents a 10 basis point contraction from the same period in the prior year, driven by the incorporation of OXXO Gas operations. On an organic basis3, income from operations increased 22.3% in the first half of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

2015 SECOND - QUARTER RESULTS

 

Mexico City July 23, 2015, Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL, NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA” or the “Company”), the largest franchise bottler in the world, announces results for the second quarter of 2015:

 

·Comparable revenues grew 8.3% for the second quarter of 2015.
·Comparable operating income grew 18.8% for the second quarter of 2015 with a margin expansion of 130 basis points.
·Comparable operative cash flow grew 8.9% for the second quarter of 2015 with a margin expansion of 10 basis points.
·Comparable earnings per share grew 5.0% to Ps. 1.23 in the second quarter of 2015.

 

For many years, in an effort to provide our readers with a more useful representation of our company's underlying financial and operating performance, we have included indicators such as “currency neutral” and “excluding M&A effects” that we are now including in the term “Comparable”. This means, with respect to a year over year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. In preparing this measure, management has used its best judgment, estimates and assumptions in order to maintain comparability. Currently, the only operation that qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy is Venezuela. To translate the second quarter and year to date 2015 results of Venezuela we use the SIMADI exchange rate of 197.30 bolivars per USD, as compared with 10.60 bolivars per USD in the same periods of 2014. Additionally, the average depreciation of currencies in our main operations this quarter was: Brazilian real (37.8%), Colombian peso (30.4%), Mexican peso (17.7%) and Argentine peso (11.1%).

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

 

“As beverage transactions continued to outpace volumes across our operations—reinforcing our daily consumer engagement—we are encouraged by our operators’ positive performance in the midst of a challenging environment, marked by weak consumer trends in Brazil, a slowly recovering consumer landscape in Mexico, and currency volatility across our markets. On a comparable basis, we delivered high single-digit consolidated revenue growth and double-digit operating income growth during the quarter. Our financial performance is complemented by market share gains in most of our operations: notably, sparkling beverages in Brazil, most categories in Argentina, and across the non-carbonated beverage category in Mexico—including our increased market leadership in the Powerade brand. These accomplishments result from utilizing the right portfolio strategy, coupled with the right capabilities, within the markets we serve. We continue Coca-Cola FEMSA’s organizational transformation, protecting our short-term results, while ensuring our profitable growth for years to come,” said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Consolidated Results

 

Comparable means, with respect to a year over year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations, only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy.

 

Reported revenues, excluding Venezuela, grew 4.5% as compared to the same period of 2014, reaching Ps. 35,480 million. These figures were negatively impacted by the devaluation of the Brazilian real(1) and the Colombian peso(1). Comparable total revenues grew 8.3%, driven by average price per unit case growth across our operations and volume growth in Colombia and Argentina.

 

The total number of transactions, excluding Venezuela, grew 0.6% to close 4.6 billion, outperforming volume growth. Our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 0.4% mainly driven by transactions in Mexico and Argentina, which offset a contraction in Brazil. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 5.8%, mainly driven by Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. Transactions of water, including bulk water, decreased 2.5% driven by a decline in Mexico.

 

Reported total sales volume, excluding Venezuela, grew 0.1% to 789.4 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 0.4% mainly driven by Mexico, Argentina and Colombia, which offset a contraction in Brazil. Volume of our bottled water portfolio increased 3.0% driven by Aquarius and Bonaqua in Argentina, Crystal in Brazil, and Manantial in Colombia. Our still beverage category increased 6.8% driven by Del Valle and Santa Clara in Mexico, Cepita, Hi-C and Powerade in Argentina and Del Valle Fresh in Colombia. Volume of our bulk water portfolio decreased 6.5% mainly due to a decline of Ciel in Mexico.

 

Reported gross profit, excluding Venezuela, grew 7.5% to Ps. 16,931 million with a gross margin expansion of 130 basis points in the period. Comparable gross profit grew 10.6%. In local currency, the benefit of lower sweetener and PET prices in most of our territories was partially offset by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Brazilian Real(1), the Colombian Peso(1), the Mexican Peso(1) and the Argentine Peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

 

Reported operating income, excluding Venezuela, increased 17.0% to Ps. 5,474 million with a margin expansion of 160 basis points to reach 15.4% in the second quarter of 2015. Comparable operating income grew 18.8%.

 

On a reported basis and excluding Venezuela, during the second quarter of 2015 the other operative expenses net line recorded an expense of Ps. 196 million, mainly due to certain restructuring charges and negative operating currency fluctuation effects across our territories.

 

The reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line, excluding Venezuela, recorded a gain of Ps. 178 million in the second quarter of 2015, mainly due to equity method gains from our stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. and our participation in Mexico’s and Brazil’s non-carbonated beverage joint-ventures. This gain compares to a loss of Ps. 100 million recorded in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Our reported comprehensive financing result, excluding Venezuela, in the second quarter of 2015 recorded an expense of Ps. 1,558 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 1,183 million in the same period of 2014. During the quarter we registered a foreign exchange loss as a result of the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our US dollar-denominated net debt position.

 

During the second quarter of 2015, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes, excluding Venezuela, was 31.4% as compared to 30.8% in the same period of 2014.

 

Reported operative cash flow, excluding Venezuela, grew 7.0% to Ps. 7,120 million with a margin expansion of 50 basis points as compared to the same period of 2014. Comparable operative cash flow grew 8.9%.

 

Reported consolidated net controlling interest income, excluding Venezuela, grew 6.0% to Ps. 2,556 million in the second quarter of 2015, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.23 (Ps. 12.33 per ADS)(2). Comparable consolidated net controlling interest income grew 5.0%.

 

As reported figures

 

Total sales volume grew 0.1% to 846.5 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Total revenues decreased 11.8% to Ps. 36,550 million in the second quarter of 2015, mainly driven by the negative translation effect resulting from using the SIMADI exchange rate(1) to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation.

 

Gross profit decreased 10.5% to Ps. 17,492 million and gross margin expanded 70 basis points to 47.9%. Operating income declined 2.0% to Ps. 5,630 million and operating margin expanded 150 basis points to 15.4%. Operative cash flow decreased 10.4% to Ps. 7,386 million and operating cash flow margin expanded 30 basis points to reach 20.2%. These declines were mainly driven by the previously mentioned negative translation effects.

 

Reported consolidated net controlling interest income declined 0.4% to Ps. 2,668 million in the second quarter of 2015, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.29 (Ps. 12.87 per ADS)(2).

Balance Sheet

 

As of June 30, 2015, we had a cash balance of Ps. 13,529 million, including US$ 519 million denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase of Ps. 571 million compared to December 31, 2014. This difference was mainly driven by cash flow generation across our territories and the effect of the depreciation of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated cash position, net of the payment of the first installment of the dividend in the amount of Ps. 3,213 million, during May of 2015.

 

As of June 30, 2015, total short-term debt was Ps. 3,575 million and long-term debt was Ps. 65,928 million. Total debt increased by Ps. 3,476 million, compared to year end 2014 mainly due to the negative effect resulting from the depreciation of the end of period exchange rate of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated debt position. Net debt increased Ps. 2,905 million compared to year end 2014.

 

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter was 8.3%. The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of June 30, 2015.

Mexico & Central America Division

 

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

 

Comparable means, with respect to a year over year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations, only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy.

 

Reported total revenues from our Mexico and Central America division increased 6.7% to Ps. 20,322 million in the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, driven by average price per unit case increases in Mexico and Central America. Our average price per unit case, which is presented net of taxes, grew 7.2%, reaching Ps. 40.23. Comparable total revenues in the division increased 4.5%.

 

Transactions in the Mexico and Central America division grew 0.7%, outpacing volume performance, totaling more than 2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 1.6% mainly driven by a 2% increase in transactions of brand Coca-Cola in Mexico. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 5.4%, mainly driven by Mexico, which generated more than 12 million incremental transactions. Transactions of water, including bulk water, decreased 12.7% driven by a decline in Mexico.

 

Reported total sales volume decreased 0.4% to 504.8 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period of 2014. Volume in Mexico contracted 0.4% and volume in Central America decreased 0.8%. Our sparkling beverage category increased 1.0% driven by growth of brand Coca-Cola, Mundet and Fanta in Mexico. Our personal water portfolio decreased 3.8% and our bulk water portfolio decreased 7.5%. Our still beverage category grew 5.0% mainly driven by a 21% growth of the Del Valle portfolio, 10% growth of Powerade and our Santa Clara dairy business, which grew 338%. This volume performance reflects on stable market share in sparkling beverages and continued market share gains in juices and isotonics.

 

Our reported gross profit increased 7.9% to Ps. 10,625 million in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Reported gross margin reached 52.3% in the second quarter of 2015, an expansion of 60 basis points as compared to the same period of the previous year. Comparable gross profit grew 6.0%, with a margin expansion of 70 basis points. Lower PET and sweeteners prices in the division were partially offset by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of most of our division’s currencies(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

 

Reported operating income(2) increased 19.0% to Ps. 4,011 million in the second quarter of 2015. Our reported operating margin expanded 200 basis points to reach 19.7% in the second quarter of 2015. Our operating expenses in the division grew 6.7%, mainly driven by higher freight costs in Mexico as result of increased regulation which were compensated by a continued strict expense control implemented across the division. Comparable operating income(2) in the division grew 17.0% with a margin expansion of 210 basis points.

 

Reported operative cash flow grew 7.3% to Ps. 5,021 million in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Our reported operative cash flow margin was 24.7%, an expansion of 10 basis points. Comparable operative cash flow grew 5.5% with a margin expansion of 20 basis points.

 

The difference between the margin expansion at the operating income level and the operative cash flow level is mainly related to the equity method, which is recorded as a non-cash item.

South America Division

 

(Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina)

 

Comparable means, with respect to a year over year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations, only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy.

 

Reported total revenues, excluding Venezuela, grew 1.6%, reaching Ps. 15,159 million. These figures were negatively impacted by the devaluation of the Brazilian real(1) and the Colombian peso(1). Comparable total revenues grew 14.0%, driven by average price per unit case growth across our territories and volume growth in Argentina and Colombia. Revenues of beer in Brazil accounted for Ps. 1,469 million in the second quarter of 2015.

 

Transactions in the division, excluding Venezuela, grew 0.6% totaling more than 1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Our sparkling beverage portfolio decreased 1.4%, mainly driven by a 3.7% decline in Brazil. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 6.3%, driven by Colombia and Argentina. Transactions of water, including bulk water, increased 13.5% driven by growth across the operations.

 

Reported total sales volume in our South America division, excluding Venezuela, grew 1.1% to 284.7 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014. Our water category, including bulk water, grew 11.0% driven by Aquarius and Bonaqua in Argentina, Manantial in Colombia and Crystal in Brazil. The still beverage category grew 9.6% favored by the performance of Del Valle Fresh in Colombia, and Cepita, Hi-C and Powerade in Argentina. Our sparkling beverage category decreased 0.6%, driven by a decline in Brazil, which was partially offset by growth in Argentina and Colombia. We continue to gain market share in the sparkling beverage category in every country in the region.

 

Reported gross profit, excluding Venezuela, grew 7.0% to Ps. 6,306 million, with a margin expansion of 210 basis points. Lower sweetener and PET prices in most of our territories were partially compensated by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the currencies in our South America division(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. Comparable gross profit increased 19.5% with a margin expansion of 190 basis points.

 

Reported operating income, excluding Venezuela, grew 11.7% to Ps. 1,465 million, with a margin expansion of 90 basis points as compared to the same period of the previous year. Comparable operating income grew 24.0%. We increased marketing investments in Colombia and Brazil to enhance market place execution, expand our cooler coverage and reinforce our returnable packaging portfolio.

 

Reported operative cash flow, excluding Venezuela, increased 6.5% to Ps. 2,102 million, reaching an operative cash flow margin of 13.9%, an expansion of 70 basis points as compared to the same period of 2014. Comparable operative cash flow grew 18.6%.

 

As reported figures

 

Reported total revenues decreased 27.5% to Ps. 16,229 million in the second quarter of 2015, mainly driven by the negative translation effect that resulted from using the SIMADI exchange rate(1) to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation.

 

Reported gross profit decreased 29.2% to Ps. 6,867 million in the second quarter of 2015 and gross profit margin reached 42.3%. Our reported operating income decreased 31.7% to Ps. 1,620 million in the second quarter of 2015, and operating income margin reached 10.0%. Reported operative cash flow decreased 33.6% to reach Ps. 2,366 million in the second quarter of 2015, resulting in a margin of 14.6%. These declines were mainly driven by the previously mentioned negative translation effect.

Summary of Six-Month Results

 

Comparable means, with respect to a year over year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy.

 

Reported revenues, excluding Venezuela, grew 3.8% as compared to the same period of 2014, reaching Ps. 69,082 million. These figures were negatively impacted by the devaluation of the Brazilian real(1) and the Colombian peso(1). Comparable total revenues grew 7.0%, driven by average price per unit case growth across our operations and volume growth in Colombia, Argentina and Central America.

 

The total number of transactions, excluding Venezuela, grew 0.1% to more than 9 billion, outperforming volume growth. Our sparkling beverage portfolio decreased 0.1% mainly driven by a 5.3% contraction in Brazil, which is partially compensated by growth in the rest of the operations. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 2.0%, mainly driven by Colombia, Argentina and Mexico. Transactions of water, including bulk water, decreased 0.1% driven by a decline in Mexico.

 

Reported total sales volume, excluding Venezuela, decreased 0.6% to 1,538.7 million unit cases in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Our sparkling beverage portfolio decreased 0.3% driven by a contraction in Brazilian volumes that were partially compensated by the positive performance in the rest of our operations. Volume of our bottled water portfolio increased 6.7% driven by Aquarius and Bonaqua in Argentina and Manantial in Colombia. Our still beverage category increased 3.0% driven by the performance of Cepita, Hi-C and Powerade in Argentina and Del Valle Fresh in Colombia. Volume of our bulk water portfolio decreased 8.4% mainly due to a decline of Ciel in Mexico.

 

Reported gross profit, excluding Venezuela, grew 5.9% to Ps. 32,308 million with a gross margin expansion of 90 basis points in the period. Comparable gross profit grew 8.4%. In local currency, the benefit of lower sweetener and PET prices in most of our territories was partially offset by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso, the Mexican Peso and the Argentine Peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

 

Reported operating income, excluding Venezuela, increased 13.0% to Ps. 9,902 million with a margin expansion of 110 basis points to reach 14.3% in the first six months of 2015. Comparable operating income grew 15.0%.

 

On a reported basis and excluding Venezuela, during the first six months of 2015 the other operative expenses net line recorded an expense of Ps. 376 million, mainly due to certain restructuring charges and negative operating currency fluctuation effects across our territories.

 

The reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line, excluding Venezuela, recorded a gain of Ps. 190 million in the first six months of 2015, mainly due to equity method gains from our stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. and our participation in Mexico’s and Brazil’s non-carbonated beverage joint-ventures.

 

Our reported comprehensive financing result, excluding Venezuela, in the first six months of 2015 recorded an expense of Ps. 2,931 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 2,275 million in the same period of 2014. During the quarter we registered a foreign exchange loss as a result of the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our US dollar-denominated net debt position.

 

During the first six months of 2015, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes, excluding Venezuela, was 30.8% as compared to 32.6% in the same period of 2014.

 

Reported operative cash flow, excluding Venezuela, grew 7.1% to Ps. 13,331 million with a margin expansion of 60 basis points as compared to the same period of 2014. Comparable operative cash flow grew 9.0%.

 

Reported consolidated net controlling interest income, excluding Venezuela, grew 9.6% to Ps. 4,714 million in the first six months of 2015, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 2.27 (Ps. 22.74 per ADS)(2). Comparable consolidated net controlling interest income grew 9.6%.

 

As reported figures

 

Total sales volume decreased 0.5% to 1,657.4 million unit cases in the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Total revenues decreased 12.7% to Ps. 71,044 million in the first six months of 2015, mainly driven by the negative translation effect resulting from using the SIMADI exchange rate(1) to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation.

 

Gross profit decreased 12.6% to Ps. 33,310 million and gross margin reached 46.9% in the first six months of 2015. Operating income declined 5.2% to Ps. 10,145 million with an operating margin expansion of 120 basis points. Operative cash flow decreased 9.5% to Ps. 13,768 million and operating cash flow margin expanded 70 basis points to reach 19.4%. These declines were mainly driven by the previously mentioned negative translation effects.

 

Consolidated net controlling interest income was Ps. 4,867 million in the first six months of 2015, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 2.35 (Ps. 23.48 per ADS)(2).

Philippines Operation

 

For the second quarter of 2015, volume rose 2%, transactions grew by 3% and revenue increased close to 14%, as compared to the same period of 2014. Volume of our core sparkling beverages grew more than 9% and transactions continued to outperform volume growth supported by the success of our one way PET single serve presentations of 250 milliliters and 300 milliliters for brands Coca-Cola, Sprite and Royal. In addition, during the quarter we launched Timeout, a new 8 ounce returnable glass presentation for brand Coca-Cola, to reinforce our affordable portfolio in the Greater Manila Area. We continue to strengthen our Route-to-Market deployment to ensure excellent commercial execution and set the stage for a more efficient sales and distribution model throughout the country.
