·FEMSA Comercio – Retail Division total revenues and income from operations increased 14.4% and 11.6%, each as compared to 2015, reflecting new store openings and a 7.0% increase in OXXO’s same-store sales.

 

·FEMSA Comercio – Health Division total revenues and income from operations amounted to Ps. 43,411 million and Ps. 1,572 million respectively, driven by the integration of Socofar and 220 net new store openings across territories.

Carlos Salazar Lomelín, FEMSA’s CEO, commented: “During the fourth quarter, FEMSA Comercio again delivered robust growth across divisions, increasing revenues by 22 percent versus the comparable period of last year. At the Retail Division, same-store sales at OXXO accelerated relative to the third quarter and increased 8.6 percent, on top of a similar growth rate last year. At the Health Division revenue growth was also strong, as a solid performance in our South American operations provided cover for the intense integration and infrastructure work we are carrying out in Mexico. In addition, the Fuel Division again saw double-digit growth in same-station sales, as well as healthy price-driven improvements in profitability.

At Coca-Cola FEMSA, during the fourth quarter we saw a continuation of the trends from the third quarter, with Mexico still benefiting from a healthy consumer that supported moderate volume and transactions growth with robust pricing. However, most of our markets in South America continued to face adverse consumer and macroeconomic environments, and we saw raw material cost pressures across territories, particularly with regards to sugar. However, we did benefit from the positive currency translation effects from many of these markets relative to the Mexican peso.

 

Looking ahead to 2017, we still see a resilient consumer environment in our key Mexico market, but there is more uncertainty than usual largely driven by external dynamics, including the expectation for higher inflation, and we must exercise caution as we continue to execute our growth strategy. We are encouraged by the strength of our business platform, by the skill and experience of our team, and by the reliably defensive nature of our business. Beyond Mexico, we are optimistic that as the year progresses, market dynamics should improve in several of our markets, particularly Brazil. So, it should be an interesting year. As always, we look forward to the challenge.”

 

FEMSA Consolidated

 

Total revenues increased 22.8% to Ps. 109,907 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, reflecting solid growth across all operations. On an organic basis,1 total revenues grew 20.1% compared to 4Q15.

 

For the full year of 2016, total revenues increased 28.2% to Ps. 399,507 million compared to 2015, mainly driven by the integration of Socofar in FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division and by solid growth across all operations. On an organic basis,1 total revenues for the full year of 2016 increased 16.6% compared to the same period in 2015.

 

Gross profit increased 17.7% to Ps. 41,999 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15. Gross margin decreased 170 basis points to 38.2% of total revenues compared to 4Q15, reflecting a contraction in Coca-Cola FEMSA’s gross margin and the growth of lower margin businesses in FEMSA Comercio.

 

For the full year of 2016, gross profit increased 20.3% to Ps. 148,204 million compared to 2015. Gross margin decreased 240 basis points to 37.1% of total revenues compared to the same period in 2015, reflecting again a contraction in Coca-Cola FEMSA’s gross margin and the incorporation and growth of lower margin businesses in FEMSA Comercio.

 

Income from operations increased 9.8% to Ps. 11,678 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15. On an organic basis,1 income from operations increased 5.9% compared to the same period in 2015. Consolidated operating margin decreased 130 basis points to 10.6% of total revenues in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, driven by a margin contraction across several of our businesses.

 

For the full year of 2016, income from operations increased 10.9% to Ps. 37,427 million compared to 2015. On an organic basis,1 income from operations increased 6.3%. Our consolidated operating margin decreased 140 basis points to 9.4% as a percentage of total revenues as compared to 2015, driven by an operating margin contraction across businesses and the integration and faster growth of FEMSA Comercio’s divisions, whose lower margins tend to compress FEMSA’s consolidated margins over time.

 

Our effective income tax rate was 31.6% in 4Q16 compared to 29.4% in 4Q15.

 

 

1 Excludes non-comparable results and significant acquisitions in the last twelve months.

 

 3February 27, 2017

 

 

Net consolidated income increased 20.9% to Ps. 8,828 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, driven mainly by growth in FEMSA’s income from operations and by a foreign exchange gain related to FEMSA’s US dollar-denominated cash position, as impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican peso during the quarter.

 

For the full year of 2016, net consolidated income increased 16.8% to Ps. 27,175 million compared to 2015, also reflecting growth in our income from operations and lower financing expenses, which more than offset higher non-operating expenses.

 

Net majority income in 4Q16 was Ps. 1.86 per FEMSA Unit2. Net majority income per FEMSA ADS was US$ 0.90 for the fourth quarter of 2016. For the full year of 2016, net majority income per FEMSA Unit2 was Ps. 5.91 (US$ 2.87 per ADS).

 

Capital expenditures amounted to Ps. 8,378 million in 4Q16, reflecting higher investments in most operations.

FEMSA Comercio – Retail Division

 

Total revenues increased 17.3% to Ps. 36,493 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, reflecting the opening of 530 net new OXXO stores in the quarter to reach 1,164 total net new store openings for the last twelve months. As of December 31, 2016, FEMSA Comercio’s Retail Division had a total of 15,225 OXXO stores. OXXO’s same-store sales increased an average of 8.6% for the fourth quarter of 2016 over 4Q15. This performance was driven by a 7.0% increase in average customer ticket and an increase of 1.5% in store traffic.

 

For the full year of 2016, total revenues increased 14.4% to reach Ps. 137,139 million compared to 2015. OXXO’s same-store sales increased an average of 7.0% compared to 2015, driven by a 6.8% increase in average customer ticket and a slight increase of 0.2% in store traffic.

 

Gross profit increased by 18.3% in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, resulting in a gross margin expansion of 40 basis points to 40.6% of total revenues. This expansion mainly reflects healthy trends in our commercial income activity and the sustained growth of the services category, including income from financial services. For the full year of 2016, gross margin expanded by 80 basis points to 37.2% of total revenues compared to 2015.

 

Income from operations increased 10.2% to Ps. 4,083 million in 4Q16 over 4Q15. Operating expenses increased 21.8% to Ps. 10,734 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, above revenues, mainly reflecting: i) the tough comparison base in 4Q15, when retail operating margin expanded above trend, ii) the recent pick-up in electricity tariffs, and iii) our initiative to improve the compensation structure of key in-store personnel. Operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 11.2% of total revenues in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15.

 

For the full year of 2016, income from operations increased 11.6% to Ps. 11,485 million compared to 2015, resulting in an operating margin of 8.4%, which represents a contraction of 20 basis points from the prior year.

FEMSA Comercio – Health Division

 

Total revenues increased 32.1% to Ps. 12,293 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15 mainly driven by solid growth in our South American operations and continued store expansion across our territories, along with a translation benefit from the appreciation of the Chilean and Colombian pesos. As of December 31, 2016 FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division had a total of 2,120 points of sale across our territories, reflecting the addition of 19 net new stores in the quarter. Same-store sales for drugstores increased by an average of 22.5% in 4Q16 as compared to 4Q15, reflecting strong growth trends in South America that more than offset softness in Mexico, where we continue to experience pressure in oil-heavy southeastern markets as well as increased competitive dynamics in certain regions. This comparable growth rate also includes the benefit of currency translation, as described above.

 

For the full year of 2016, total revenues amounted to Ps. 43,411 million compared to Ps. 13,053 million in 2015. On an organic basis,1 total revenues for the full year of 2016 increased 24.0% compared to the same period in 2015. Same-store sales for drugstores increased an average of 22.4% compared to 2015.

 

Gross profit increased by 36.1% in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, resulting in a gross margin expansion of 90 basis points to 30.8% of total revenues, reflecting higher structural gross margins at the South American operations. For the full year of 2016, gross margin expanded by 100 basis points to 29.3% of total revenues compared to 2015.

 

Income from operations increased 19.8% to Ps. 599 million in 4Q16 over 4Q15. Operating expenses increased 39.6% to Ps. 3,188 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15. Operating margin contracted 50 basis points to 4.9% of total revenues in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, reflecting: i) higher expenses in Mexico as we continue to build infrastructure and prepare for further growth while we integrate our four legacy drugstore operations into a single platform; ii) improvements to the incentive structure for our in-store personnel; and iii) certain one-time expenses in South America.

 

For the full year of 2016, income from operations increased 157.7% to Ps. 1,572 million compared to 2015, resulting in an operating margin of 3.6%, which represents a contraction of 110 basis points from the prior year. On an organic basis,1 income from operations increased 5.8% compared to 2015.

 

FEMSA Comercio – Fuel Division

 

Total revenues increased 31.6% to Ps. 8,054 million in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15, reflecting the addition of 34 net new OXXO GAS stations in the quarter to reach 75 total net new stations for the last twelve months. As of December 31, 2016, FEMSA Comercio’s Fuel Division had a total of 382 OXXO GAS service stations. Same-station sales increased an average of 12.2% in 4Q16 over 4Q15, as average volume increased 7.8% while the average price per liter increased by 4.1%, reflecting national price increases instituted during the second half of 2016.

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

 

“We closed 2016 focused on our operating and financial discipline, while capturing opportunities that enabled us to strengthen our portfolio and consolidate geographically. We managed to deliver solid financial results for the year in the face of a very complex macroeconomic environment. On a comparable basis, our revenues and operating income increased by 6.6% and 4.0%, respectively, by leveraging our pricing flexibility across our markets.

 

Our transactions continued to outperform volumes across most of our operations thanks to our focus on affordability, commercial practices, and improved route-to-market capabilities. In Mexico, volume and transactions grew across our sparkling and still beverage categories, propelling our operation to a banner year. While in Central America, our performance was driven by Costa Rica and Nicaragua’s highest volume growth in the past 10 years. Our South America division faced the most difficult macroeconomic and consumer environments of our territories. Nevertheless, our flexibility to adapt to local market conditions enabled us to maintain or gain market share across key markets and categories. Finally, our Philippines operation delivered accelerated volume and transaction growth, while improving profitability, ahead of its consolidation in 2017.

 

During the year, we accelerated the transformation of our operating models, highlighted by the aggressive rollout of our KOFmmercial Digital Platform in Mexico and its initial rollout in Brazil. Importantly, we strengthened our footprint by closing our acquisition of Vonpar, bolstering our leading position in Brazil.

 

As we enter a new year, we renew our efforts to strengthen our portfolio, deploy our transformational initiatives, and continue our cultural evolution in order to deliver sustainable, profitable growth for our shareholders.” said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

4Q16 Consolidated Results

 

Comparable means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (i) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (iii) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations, only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy. In our “as reported” figures, our Venezuelan operation’s results were translated into Mexican pesos using the DICOM exchange rate published on December31, 2016 of 673.7617 bolivars per US dollar.

 

Comparable figures:

 

Revenues: Comparable total revenues grew 3.7% to Ps. 44,300 million driven by average price per unit case growth across most of our operations and volume growth in Mexico and Central America.

 

Transactions: The comparable number of transactions declined 6.4% to 4,746.1 million. Transactions of our sparkling beverage portfolio declined 6.3% driven by declines in Brazil, Colombia and Argentina, offsetting flat performance of Mexico. Our still beverage category decreased transactions by 4.8%, mainly driven by declines in Brazil and Colombia, offsetting increases in Mexico and Argentina. Transactions of water, including bulk water, decreased 9.6% driven by declines across most of our operations, offsetting growth in Mexico.

 

Volume: Comparable sales volume declined 5.9% to 806.8 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Our sparkling beverage portfolio declined 5.9% mainly driven by contractions in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, which offset growth in Mexico and Central America. The still beverage category decreased 3.9% driven by declines in Brazil, Colombia and Central America which offset growth in Vallefrut orangeade, del Valle juice and Santa Clara in Mexico. Volume of our bottled water portfolio decreased 8.6% driven by growth in Mexico offset by declines across the rest of our operations. Volume of our bulk water portfolio declined 5.0% mainly driven by declines of Crystal in Brazil, Brisa in Colombia and Ciel in Mexico offset by increases in Central America and Argentina.

 

Gross profit: Comparable gross profit grew 1.3% to Ps. 20,237 million with a gross margin contraction of 110 basis points in the period. Higher sugar prices, plus the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Argentine peso and the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs, and an unfavorable currency hedging position in Brazil, were not fully offset by the benefit of lower PET prices and our ongoing currency hedging strategy.

 

Other operative expenses: On a comparable basis, during the fourth quarter of 2016, the other operative expenses net line recorded an expense of Ps. 215 million, which compares to an expense of Ps. 65 million during the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Equity method: The comparable reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line recorded a loss of Ps. 275 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, which compares to a loss of Ps. 76 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly due to a loss in our stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. and in our non-carbonated beverage joint venture in Brazil that could not be compensated by a gain in our non-carbonated beverage joint venture in Mexico during the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

Operating Income: Comparable operating income declined 8.3% to Ps. 6,251 million with a 190 basis points margin contraction, reaching 14.1% in the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

Operating cash flow: Comparable operating cash flow declined 2.3% to Ps. 8,685 million with a margin contraction of 120 basis points to 19.6% in the fourth quarter of 2016. Amortization and other operative non-cash charges in the fourth quarter of 2016 were higher due to (i) operating currency fluctuation effects, (ii) an equity method loss.

 

Comprehensive financing result: Our comparable comprehensive financing result in the fourth quarter of 2016 recorded an expense of Ps. 2,076 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 2,793 million in the same period of 2015. As compared to the previous year, we recorded a foreign exchange gain mainly driven by the reduction of our dollar denominated net debt position.

 

Income tax: During the fourth quarter of 2016, comparable income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 25.3% as compared to 27.6% in the same period of 2015.

 

Net income: Comparable net controlling interest income declined 11.1% to Ps. 2,690 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.30 (Ps. 12.98 per ADS).

Balance Sheet (1)

 

As of December 31, 2016, we had a cash balance of Ps. 10,476 million, including US$ 114 million denominated in U.S. dollars, a decrease of Ps. 5,513 million as compared to December 31, 2015. This difference was mainly driven by the use of cash for Vonpar´s acquisition. In November, we paid the second installment of the 2015 dividend in the amount of Ps. 1.68 per share.

 

As of December 31, 2016, total short-term debt was Ps. 3,052 million and long-term debt was Ps. 85,857 million. Total debt increased by Ps. 22,179 million, compared to year end 2015 mainly due to the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated debt position and the contract of new debt for Vonpar´s acquisition. Net debt increased by Ps. 27,692 million compared to year end 2015.

 

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter, including the effect of debt swapped to Brazilian reals and Mexican peso, was 10.78%. The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency, interest rate type and maturity date as of December 31, 2016.

Transactions: Total transactions in the Mexico and Central America division grew 0.7%, in line with volume performance, totaling 2,815.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Transactions of our sparkling beverage portfolio remained flat, mainly driven by a decline in flavored sparkling beverages in Central America offset by a 2.5% growth of flavored sparkling beverages in Mexico, and a 2.1% improvement in brand Coca-Cola in Central America.

YTD Consolidated Results

 

Comparable means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (i) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (iii) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations, only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy. In our “as reported” figures, our Venezuelan operation’s results were translated into Mexican pesos using the DICOM exchange rate published on December 31, 2016 of 673.7617 bolivars per US dollar.

 

Comparable figures:

 

Revenues: Comparable total revenues grew 6.6% to Ps. 157,277 million driven by average price per unit case growth across most of our operations and volume growth in Mexico and Central America.

 

Transactions: The comparable number of transactions declined 0.3% to 18,902.4 million, outpacing volume performance. Transactions of our sparkling beverage portfolio declined 0.6% driven by the positive performance of Mexico, which increased 4.5%; Central America, which grew 3.1%; and offset by Colombia, Argentina and Brazil which declined 1.2%, 9.2% and 10.0% respectively. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 2.6%, mainly driven by Mexico and Central America which grew 8.3%. Transactions of water, including bulk water, declined 1.1% driven by a positive performance in Mexico, Central America and Colombia, offset by a decline in Brazil.

 

Volume: Comparable sales volume declined 0.9% to 3,171.3 in 2016, as compared to 2015. Our sparkling beverage portfolio contracted 1.0% driven by declines in Brazil and Argentina which offset growth in Mexico and Central America. Our still beverage category increased 2.9% driven by Vallefrut, del Valle juice and Santa Clara in Mexico. Volume of our bottled water portfolio declined 1.1% mainly driven by Brazil and Colombia offsetting growth in Mexico and Argentina. Volume of our bulk water portfolio decreased 1.9% mainly driven by a decline of Brisa and Crystal bulk water in Colombia and Brazil respectively.

 

Gross profit: Comparable gross profit grew 4.5% to Ps. 72,284 million with a gross margin contraction of 90 basis points in the period. Higher sugar prices, plus the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Argentine peso, the Colombian Peso, the Brazilian Real and the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs; and an unfavorable currency hedging position in Brazil, were not fully offset by the benefit of lower PET prices, and our ongoing currency hedging strategy.

 

Other operative expenses: On a comparable basis, during 2016, the other operative expenses net line recorded an expense of Ps. 339 million, which compares to an expense of Ps. 770 million during the same period of 2015.

 

Equity method: The comparable reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line recorded a gain of Ps. 43 million for year 2016, which compares to a loss of Ps. 21 million recorded in the same period of 2015, mainly due to a positive contribution of our stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. and the non-carbonated beverage joint venture in Mexico.

 

Operating Income: Comparable operating income grew 4.0% to Ps. 22,646 million with a 40 basis points margin contraction, reaching 14.4% for the full year 2016.

 

Operating cash flow: Comparable operating cash flow grew 4.0% to Ps. 30,931 million with a margin decline of 50 basis points as compared to the same period of 2015. Other operative non-cash charges in 2016 were lower as a result of (i) operating currency fluctuation effects and (ii) the recording of an equity method gain.

 

Comprehensive financing results: Our comparable comprehensive financing result for the full year 2016 recorded an expense of Ps. 8,589 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 8,352 million in the same period of 2015. The difference was mainly driven by (i) a foreign exchange loss as a result of the depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position and (ii) higher interest expense in Mexican pesos, mainly driven by the effect of the depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our interest payments denominated in U.S. dollars and Brazilian reals.

 

Income tax: During 2016, comparable income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 26.8% as compared to 30.4% in the same period of 2015. The lower tax rate in 2016 resulted from (i) certain tax efficiencies across our operations, (ii) a lower effective tax rate in Colombia and (iii) ongoing efforts to reduce non-deductible items across our operations.

 

Net income: Comparable net controlling interest income increased 0.6% to Ps. 9,290 million for the full year 2016, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 4.48 (Ps. 44.82 per ADS).

Philippines Operation

 

Total transactions during the year grew 8.6%, in line with volume growth, which grew 8.9% driven by the performance of Colas and flavored sparkling beverages. Colas growth was mainly driven by our single-serve and multi-serve returnable glass bottles as well as our multi-serve PET presentation. In flavored sparkling beverages, our single-serve “Mismo” one-way PET presentation continued to deliver growth. Also, our growth in water came both from multi-serve and single-serve presentations. For the year, our Philippines operation and its encouraging top- and bottom-line performance, contributed positively to the company’s consolidated results.

 

Sustainability

 

At Coca-Cola FEMSA, our purpose is to generate economic, social and environmental value. Thus, sustainability is a core element of our business’ strategic framework.

We replenished 100% of the water we used to produce our beverages in Mexico and Brazil. Since 2010, we increased our energy efficiency by 19% and reduced our manufacturing operations’ carbon footprint by 28%. Additionally, we covered 46% and 74% of our Mexican and Brazilian bottling operations’ energy requirements, respectively, from clean sources of energy—achieving 29% coverage globally.

This means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (i) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (iii) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. Currently, the only operation that qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy is Venezuela. In preparing this measure, management has used its best judgment, estimates and assumptions in order to maintain comparability.

 

Earnings per share were computed based on 2,072.9 million outstanding shares (each ADS represents 10 local shares).

 

For reporting purposes, all corporate expenses, including the equity method recorded from our stake of the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., are included in the results of the Mexico and Central America division. Starting on February 2013, we are incorporating our stake of the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. through the equity method.
