Eduardo Padilla, FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

 

“FEMSA delivered solid results in the second quarter, which was an interesting one from a calendar standpoint. We had tailwinds from the Holy Week shift in April, as well as a tough comparison base from last year’s World Cup that began in June. However, a key positive theme across most of our operations was one of strong revenue growth driven by healthy pricing, that in turn allowed us to deliver margin expansion at FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity and Fuel Divisions. At the Health Division, our Mexican operations continued to perform well but were overshadowed by soft results and unfavorable foreign exchange dynamics in Chile, while Colombia continued to expand, and we were happy to close the acquisition of GPF in Ecuador during the quarter. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA also achieved strong top-line dynamics in most of its markets, which flowed all the way down the income statement.”

 

 

1 Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months.

2 Comparable Results: Starting on the first quarter of 2019, we adopted the International Financial Reporting Standard 16 – “Leases” (“IFRS 16”) across all our business units. The Comparable Results is a set of numbers which estimate the retroactive effect that the adoption of IFRS 16 would have had on FEMSA’s 2018 financial results. The performance comparisons expressed in this document will be made relative to the Comparable Results unless stated otherwise.

Gross profit grew 9.7%. Gross margin expanded 10 basis points, mainly driven by strong expansion at FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity and Fuel Divisions, partially offset by a contraction at Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division.

 

Income from operations increased 8.3%. On an organic basis,2 income from operations increased 6.6%. Consolidated operating margin decreased 10 basis points to 9.3% of total revenues, reflecting margin contraction at Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division.

Income tax was Ps. 2,174 million in 2Q19.

 

Net consolidated income decreased 26.0% to Ps. 7,747 million, as the increase in our Income from operations described above did not fully offset a non-cash foreign exchange loss related to FEMSA’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position as impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican peso.

Total revenues increased 11.3% in 2Q19 compared to 2Q18. On an organic basis,2 total revenues grew 11.0%, reflecting the opening of 375 net new OXXO stores in the quarter to reach 1,312 total net new store openings for the last twelve months. As of June 30, 2019, FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity Division had a total of 18,608 OXXO stores. OXXO’s same-store sales increased an average of 6.2%, driven by 7.5% growth in average customer ticket, which was partially offset by a decrease of 1.1% in store traffic.

 

Gross profit reached 39.8% of total revenues, reflecting: i) sustained growth of the services category including income from financial services; ii) healthy trends in our commercial income activity; iii) increased and more efficient promotional programs with our key supplier partners; and iv) the consolidation of Caffenio.

 

Income from operations amounted to 9.8% of total revenues. Operating expenses increased 17.0% to Ps. 14,149 million, above revenues, mainly reflecting: i) our continuing initiative to strengthen our compensation structure of key in-store personnel in a tight labor market, including the gradual shift from commission-based store teams to employee-based teams; ii) higher secure cash handling costs driven by increased volume and higher operational costs; and iii) the consolidation of Caffenio.

Total revenues increased 13.9% in 2Q19 compared to 2Q18. On an organic basis,1 total revenues grew 0.1% reflecting steady trends in Mexico and Chile, offset by a negative currency translation effect related to the appreciation of the Mexican peso compared to the Chilean and Colombian pesos. As of June 30, 2019, FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division had a total of 3,061 points of sale across our territories. This figure reflects the addition of 677 net new stores in the quarter including the integration of Corporación GPF, to reach 810 total net new store additions for the last twelve months. Same-store sales for drugstores decreased an average of 2.6%, reflecting the negative currency translation effect mentioned above.

 

Gross profit represented 29.8% of total revenues, reflecting; i) a demanding comparison base in our operations in South America, where gross margin expanded above trend in 2Q18; ii) new pricing regulations in Colombia; and iii) increased promotional activity in Chile. These were partially offset by improved efficiency and more effective collaboration and execution with our key supplier partners in Mexico.

 

Income from operations amounted to 4.4% of total revenues. Operating expenses increased 13.7% to Ps. 3,877 million, as cost efficiencies and tight expense control across our legacy territories were more than offset by the consolidation of Corporación GPF, which has a relatively higher operating expense structure.

·On April 30, 2019, FEMSA announced that FEMSA Comercio through its majority-owned subsidiary Socofar, had successfully completed the acquisition of Corporación GPF (“GPF”). GPF is a leading drugstore operator based in Quito, Ecuador, with almost 90 years of solid trajectory, operating more than 620 points of sale nationwide mainly under the Fybeca and SanaSana banners. This transaction represents a new building block of FEMSA Comercio’s drugstore strategy in South America, following its successful acquisition of a controlling stake in the drugstore and distribution platform of Chile-based Socofar in 2015. This announcement marked another important step for FEMSA Comercio as it brings its considerable retail expertise and Socofar’s deep industry knowledge to the Ecuadorian market and its more than 16 million consumers. GPF is a strong local operator with attractive growth prospects, and it will help Socofar as it continues to build a robust base from which to expand further in the region.

Coca-Cola FEMSA Announces Results For Second Quarter and First Six Months Of 2019

 

Mexico City, July 25, 2019, Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOF UBL, NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA”, “KOF” or the “Company”), the largest Coca-Cola franchise bottler in the world by sales volume, announces results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2019.

 

SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

·Volumes increased in Brazil, Central America and Colombia; transactions outperformed volumes in Argentina and Brazil.

 

·Revenues increased 7.6%, while comparable revenues grew 11.6%. Solid pricing, revenue management initiatives across our operations and volume growth in Brazil, Central America and Colombia were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from all of our operating currencies.

 

·Operating income increased 6.5%, while comparable operating income increased 13.8%. Favorable price mix effect, more stable raw material prices, and operating expense efficiencies, were partially offset by higher concentrate costs, the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated raw material costs, and restructuring severances for Ps. 512 million in Argentina, Central America, Colombia, and Mexico related to our efficiency initiatives to create a leaner and more agile organization.

 

·Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.21 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.66 and per ADS were Ps. 16.60).

John Santa Maria, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

 

“Our second quarter results show continuous progress and positive momentum. Despite prevailing external volatility and currency headwinds, our consolidated revenues grew 7.6% while our comparable revenues grew 11.6%. Importantly, our majority net income grew 25.4%, reflecting our progress to transform Coca-Cola FEMSA into a stronger and more resilient business. In Mexico and Central America, we continue to report healthy top-and-bottom line growth. In South America, we continue to see strong top-line performance driven mainly by strong volumes in Brazil, better-than-expected volume performance in Colombia and signs of stabilization in Argentina —encouraging trends as we move into the second half of the year.

 

Finally, as part of our commitment to drive agility and efficiency across our organization, we started the rollout of a set of initiatives during the first half of the year to create a leaner, more agile organization that is fully focused on its consumers. We expect that these efforts, which will be rolled out to all of our operations throughout the coming months, combined with ongoing digitalization, will provide us with the required flexibility to continue driving growth in our business.”

CONSOLIDATED SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

   As Reported (1)   Comparable (2) 
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos  2Q 2019   2Q 2018   Δ%   Δ% 
Total revenues   47,978    44,569    7.6%   11.6%
Gross profit   22,102    20,857    6.0%   10.1%
Operating income   6,338    5,952    6.5%   13.8%
Operating cash flow (3)   9,180    8,726    5.2%   9.2%

 

Volume increased 2.2% to 840.9 million unit cases, driven mainly by 7.2% growth in Brazil, slight growth in Colombia and the consolidation of recently acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay; partially offset by volume declines in Mexico and Argentina. On a comparable basis, total volumes increased 1.3%.

 

Total revenues increased 7.6% to Ps. 47,978 million, driven mainly by price increases above inflation and revenue management initiatives across our territories, volume growth in Brazil, Central America and Colombia, the consolidation of recently acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay and a favorable mix effect driven by transactions growing ahead of volumes in Argentina and Brazil. These factors were partially offset by the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of all of our operating currencies as compared to the Mexican Peso, combined with volume decline in Argentina and Mexico. On a comparable basis, total revenues increased 11.6%.

 

Gross profit increased 6.0% to Ps. 22,102 million and gross margin contracted 70 basis points to 46.1%. More stable sweetener and packaging prices were offset by i) higher concentrate costs in Mexico; ii) higher concentrate costs in Brazil, related to the reduction of tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone; iii) an unfavorable currency hedging position in most of our operations; and iv) the depreciation in the average exchange rate of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. On a comparable basis, gross profit increased 10.1%.

 

Operating income increased 6.5% to Ps. 6,338 million, and operating margin contracted 20 basis points to 13.2%. This increase was driven mainly by operating expense efficiencies and freight efficiencies in Brazil and Mexico; effects that were partially offset by restructuring severance in Argentina, Central America, Colombia, and Mexico. On a comparable basis, operating income increased 13.8%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,559 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,438 million in the same period of 2018. This quarter we had a reduction in our interest expense, net, as compared to the same period of 2018, a foreign exchange loss —as our cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso during the second quarter of 2019—and a reduction in other financial expenses.

 

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 24.7% as compared to 30.7% during the same period of the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by the increase in the relative weight of our Mexico operation´s profits in our consolidated results, which have a lower tax rate, coupled with certain tax efficiencies and ongoing efforts to reduce non-deductible items across our operations.

 

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company reached Ps. 3,487 million as compared to Ps. 2,781 million during the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.21 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.66 and earnings per ADS were Ps. 16.60).

 

 

(1)Quarterly earnings / outstanding shares. Earnings per share (EPS) for all periods are adjusted to give effect to the stock split resulting in 16,806.7 million shares outstanding. For the convenience of the reader, as a KOF UBL 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 KOF UBL Units.

Operating cash flow (3)   6,285    5,614    12.0%   11.4%

 

Volume increased 0.5% to 554.7 million unit cases, driven by the consolidation of recently acquired territories in Guatemala and volume growth in Costa Rica, Panama and organic volume in Guatemala, partially offset by volume decline in Mexico and Nicaragua. On a comparable basis, volume decreased 0.5%.

 

Total revenues increased 9.9% to Ps. 29,008 million, driven by pricing ahead of inflation across the division, volume growth in Costa Rica, Panama and organic volume growth in Guatemala, and the consolidation of recently acquired territories in Guatemala as of May 1, 2018. These effects were partially offset by volume declines in Mexico and Nicaragua and a slightly unfavorable mix driven by volumes outperforming transactions. On a comparable basis, total revenues increased 9.2%.

 

Gross profit increased 10.0% to Ps. 14,166 million and gross profit margin remained flat at 48.8% driven mainly by our pricing initiatives and lower sweetener and PET costs. These factors were partially offset by higher concentrate costs in Mexico, and an unfavorable currency hedging position. On a comparable basis, gross profit increased 9.3%.

 

Operating income increased 19.1% to Ps. 4,527 million in the second quarter of 2019, and operating income margin expanded 120 basis points to 15.6% during the period driven mainly by operating expense efficiencies and lower freight in Mexico, partially offset by restructuring severances of Ps. 436 million in the division.

Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos  2Q 2019   2Q 2018   Δ%   Δ% 
Total revenues   18,970    18,177    4.4%   15.9%

Operating cash flow (3)   2,895    3,112    (7.0%)   4.1%

 

Volume increased 5.7% to 286.2 million unit cases, driven by volume growth of 7.2% in Brazil, 0.6% in Colombia, and the consolidation of the recently acquired territory in Uruguay partially offset by a volume decline in Argentina. On a comparable basis, volume grew 5.4%.

 

Total revenues increased 4.4% to Ps. 18,970 million, driven mainly by strong volume growth in Brazil, pricing ahead or in line with inflation in the division, a favorable mix effect driven by transactions outperforming volumes in Argentina and Brazil, and the consolidation of the recently acquired territory in Uruguay as of July 1, 2018. These factors were partially offset by a volume contraction in Argentina, coupled with an unfavorable currency translation effect resulting from the depreciation of all our local currencies in the division as compared to the Mexican Peso. On a comparable basis, total revenues increased 15.9%.

 

Gross profit decreased 0.5% to Ps. 7,937 million, and gross profit margin contracted 210 basis points to 41.8%. This is a result of higher concentrate costs in Brazil related to the reduction of tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus free trade zone, and the depreciation of the average exchange rate of all our local currencies in the division as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. These factors were partially offset by our pricing initiatives, lower sweetener and PET prices. On a comparable basis, gross profit increased 11.8%.

 

Operating income decreased 15.8% to Ps. 1,812 million in the second quarter of 2019, resulting in a margin contraction of 230 basis points to 9.5% driven mainly by a decline in Argentina´s top line and restructuring severances of Ps. 76 million in Argentina and Colombia, partially offset by freight efficiencies in Brazil and expense control in the division. On a comparable basis, operating income increased 2.4%.

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.”

 

Operating cash flow 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 each KOF UBL 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 KOF UBL Units.

 

COMPARABILITY

 

In an effort to provide our readers with a more useful representation of our company's underlying financial and operating performance, we are including the term “Comparable.” This means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change of a given measure excluding the effects of: (i) mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, including acquisitions made in Guatemala and Uruguay as of May and July 2018, respectively; (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements; and (iii) the results of hyperinflationary subsidiaries in both periods: Argentina’s results from 2019 and 2018. In preparing this measure, management has used its best judgment, estimates, and assumptions in order to maintain comparability. The relation between our reported and comparable figures is described in the following chart:

 

 *Reported 2018 figures reflect the Philippines as a discontinued operation.
