Daniel Rodríguez Cofré, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

“Our third quarter results reflect sustained positive momentum across our business units. OXXO Mexico delivered another strong set of numbers, with accelerating traffic growth on top of robust ticket expansion and reflecting a resilient consumer environment. We again saw some of our key categories performing extremely well, delivering strong top line performance, that combined with a leaner expense structure produced solid operating leverage. On the Digital front, we continued to add OXXO Premia and Spin by OXXO customers at an accelerated pace, but more importantly, Spin by OXXO received its definitive authorization to operate as a fintech in Mexico. This is a relevant milestone and will allow us to continue pursuing our ambition to become the preeminent fintech in Mexico.

 

Beyond Mexico, Proximity continued to grow at a good pace in most markets, and we closed the acquisition of Valora earlier this month. OXXO Gas had another strong quarter on the back of increased vehicle mobility which drove strong volume recovery, finally getting back to pre-COVID levels. And FEMSA Health delivered stable results against a demanding comparison base while facing a challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly in Chile. For its part, Logistics and Distribution had a strong quarter driven by a standout performance at Envoy Solutions, showing strong top-line growth and stable margins. Finally, Coca-Cola FEMSA also had a strong set of results with volumes increasing across territories and double-digit growth at the top and bottom-lines.

 

Against this backdrop of strong operational momentum and with such a rich opportunity set ahead of us, we want to thank and recognize John Santa Maria and Alfonso Garza for their extraordinary contributions to the FEMSA success story over so many decades, and we also congratulate Ian Craig and Constantino Spas for their new positions. We look forward to the exciting future Ian and Constantino will help us build.”

Total revenues increased 20.6% in 3Q22 compared to 3Q21. On an organic1 basis, total revenues increased 20.0%, reflecting a 17.5% average same-store sales increase, driven by 11.9% growth in average customer ticket and an increase of 4.9% in store traffic. These figures reflect the strong performance of the gathering consumer occasion, including beer, snacks and spirits, as well as the sustained recovery of mobility-driven occasions. During the quarter the Proximity Division’s store base expanded by 231 units to reach 902 total net store additions for the last twelve months. This includes 120 stores from our acquisition of OK Market in Chile. As of September 30, 2022, the Proximity Division had a total of 20,899 OXXO stores.

 

Gross profit reached 40.2% of total revenues, reflecting the phasing of the third quarter’s commercial activity and promotional programs from key suppliers, in anticipation of the upcoming FIFA World Cup and December holidays, as well as a modest impact from OXXO’s fast-growing loyalty program.

 

Income from operations amounted to 9.4% of total revenues, driven by higher operating leverage. Operating expenses increased 15.5% to Ps. 18,898 million, below revenues, reflecting enduring expense efficiencies and tight expense control, partially offset by our continuing initiative to gradually shift from commission-based store teams to employee-based teams.

 

Grupo Nós2

Total Revenues for the period grew 156% year-over-year, reaching R$146.7 million3.

Mexico City, October 24, 2022, Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFUBL, 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 third quarter and the first nine months of 2022.

 

THIRD QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Consolidated volumes increased 8.4% as compared to the third quarter of 2021. This increase was driven by volume growth across all of our territories, including single-digit increases in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Uruguay, coupled with double-digit volume increases in Argentina and Central America. On a comparable basis, our volume increased 7.3%.

Total revenues increased 18.2%, while comparable revenues increased 19.3%, driven mainly by volume growth, pricing initiatives, and favorable price-mix effects. These factors were partially offset by a decline in beer revenues related to the transition of the beer portfolio in Brazil, coupled with unfavorable currency translation effects of some of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos.

Operating income increased 13.3%, while comparable operating income increased 13.1%. Our raw material hedging strategies and operating expense efficiencies were partially offset by (i) a tough comparison base that includes the recognition of an extraordinary Ps. 620 million during the third quarter of 2021, related to favorable entitlements to reclaim certain taxes in Brazil following a favorable decision from Brazilian tax authorities; and (ii) higher PET and sweetener costs.

Majority net income increased 27.9%, driven mainly by an increase in our operating income, coupled with a decrease in our comprehensive financing result, related to a decrease in our interest expense, net.

Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.26 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 2.08 and per ADS were Ps. 20.82.).

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

 

“Our company´s momentum is evident in our solid results and the continuous progress we are making towards our key strategic objectives. Once again, our volumes grew across all of our territories, enabling us to deliver solid double-digit top- and bottom-line growth. Additionally, we continue making history in sustainable financing, becoming the first company in the consumer sector in the Americas and the first in the Coca-Cola System to successfully price social bonds, underscoring our profound commitment to our communities.

 

In light of our recent announcements regarding management succession, I am extremely privileged for the opportunity to serve and lead Coca-Cola FEMSA as CEO over the past nine years. Our company is better positioned than ever to capture the many opportunities that are in front of us, and I am very pleased with Ian Craig’s appointment by our Board of Directors as Chief Executive Officer as of January 1, 2023. Ian is a proven leader with an outstanding 28-year track record at FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA. I am confident in the bright future that lies ahead for Coca-Cola FEMSA under his tenure. Finally, I thank and congratulate Constantino Spas, our CFO, who has played a fundamental role in our company’s transformation journey, and has now been invited by FEMSA to become Chief Executive Officer of FEMSA Strategic Businesses as of next year. I wish them both great success.”

Operating cash flow (2)   10,626    9,320    14.0%   15.0%

 

Volume increased 8.4% to 925.8 million unit cases, driven mainly by volume increases in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Uruguay, coupled with double-digit volume increases in Argentina and Central America. On a comparable basis, our volume increased 7.3%.

 

Total revenues increased 18.2% to Ps. 57,093 million. This increase was driven mainly by volume growth, our pricing initiatives, and favorable price-mix effects. These factors were partially offset by a decline in beer revenues related to the transition of the beer portfolio in Brazil, coupled with unfavorable currency translation effects of some of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, excluding M&A and currency translation effects, total revenues would have increased 19.3%.

 

Gross profit increased 16.4% to Ps. 25,392 million, and gross margin decreased 70 basis points to 44.5%. This gross margin decrease was driven by higher raw material costs, mainly in PET and sweeteners. These effects were partially offset by our top-line growth and favorable hedging initiatives. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 17.6%.

 

Operating income increased 13.3% to Ps. 7,335 million, and operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 12.8%. This increase was driven by solid top-line performance, coupled with operating expense efficiencies. These effects were partially offset by a tough comparison base due to the recognition of a non-recurring tax income of Ps. 620 million during the third quarter of 2021 related to favorable entitlements to reclaim certain taxes in Brazil, following a favorable decision from Brazilian tax authorities. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 13.1%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 682 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,030 million in the same period of 2021.

 

This decrease was driven mainly by a decrease in our interest expense as a result of the tender offer completed during the quarter. In particular, we repurchased Senior Notes due 2030 for an amount of US$209 million and Senior Notes due in 2043 for an amount of US$111 million. In addition, we recognized a gain in interest income of Ps. 649 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 202 million recorded during the same period of 2021, related to an increase in interest rates.

 

These effects were partially offset by a lower foreign exchange gain of Ps. 40 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 305 million during the same quarter of 2021, as our cash exposure in U.S. dollars was positively impacted by the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican Peso.

 

We recognized a loss in the market value of financial instruments of Ps. 157 million, related to the increase in interest rates in the U.S., as compared to a loss of Ps. 42 million during the third quarter of 2021.

 

Finally, we recognized a gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 124 during the third quarter of 2022 as compared to a gain of Ps. 117 during the same period of the previous year.

 

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 33.4% as compared to 33.5% during the same period of the previous year, mainly driven by deferred taxes and inflationary adjustments.

 

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 4,374 million as compared to Ps. 3,419 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by a decrease in our comprehensive financing result, coupled with operating income growth. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.26 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 2.08 and per ADS were Ps. 20.82.).

Operating cash flow (2)   31,151    28,159    10.6%   9.7%

 

Volume increased 10.1% to 2,759.9 million unit cases, driven mainly by double-digit volume increases in all territories in South America and Central America, coupled with solid volume growth in Mexico. On a comparable basis, our volume would have increased 9.1%.

 

Total revenues increased 17.7% to Ps. 166,042 million. This increase was driven mainly by volume growth, our pricing initiatives, favorable currency translation effects, and favorable price-mix effects. These factors were partially offset by a decline in beer revenues related to the transition of the beer portfolio in Brazil. On a comparable basis, excluding M&A and currency translation effects, total revenues would have increased 17.4%.

 

Gross profit increased 14.0% to Ps. 73,469 million, and gross margin decreased 150 basis points to 44.2%. This gross margin decrease was driven mainly by (i) a tough comparison base due to the recognition of an extraordinary Ps. 1,083 million during the second quarter of 2021, related to credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone in Brazil; and (ii) higher raw material costs, mainly in PET and sweeteners. These effects were partially offset by our top-line growth and favorable hedging initiatives. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 13.9%.

 

Operating income increased 11.5% to Ps. 21,881 million, and operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 13.2%. This operating margin decrease was driven mainly by a decrease in gross margin, coupled with an additional tough comparison base at the operating income level, due to the recognition of non-recurring tax income of Ps. 620 million during the third quarter of 2021 related to favorable entitlements to reclaim certain taxes in Brazil, following a favorable decision from Brazilian tax authorities. These effects were partially offset by a solid top-line performance, coupled with operating expense efficiencies. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 9.3%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 3,438 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 3,477 million in the same period of 2021.

 

This slight decrease was driven mainly by a decrease in interest expense, net, as compared to the same period of 2021, as a result of the tender offer completed during the third quarter. In particular, we repurchased Senior Notes due 2030 for an amount of US$209 million and Senior Notes due in 2043 for an amount of US$111 million, coupled with an increase in our interest income related to an increase in interest rates.

 

These effects were partially offset by a loss in financial instruments of Ps. 738 million, as compared to a loss of Ps. 51 million recorded during the same period of 2021, driven mainly by a market value loss of Ps. 935 million recognized during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by a market value gain of Ps. 355 million recognized during the second quarter of 2022. As explained in the second quarter earnings release, in accordance with IFRS 9, as of the third quarter we are recognizing the hedging gain or loss on the debt instrument that is being hedged using interest rate derivatives. As a result, Coca-Cola FEMSA is recording in the second quarter a one-off gain in “Market value (gain) loss in financial instruments” of Ps. 653 million, corresponding to the first quarter of 2022, offsetting the loss recognized in said quarter.

 

In addition, we recognized a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 46 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 149 million in the same period of 2021, as our net cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the slight appreciation of the Mexican Peso during the year.

 

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 33.5% as compared to 35.5% during the same period of the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by adjustments to deferred taxes.

 

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 11,931 million as compared to Ps. 9,893 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.71 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 5.68, and per ADS were Ps. 56.79.).

   As Reported   Comparable (1) 
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos  3Q 2022   3Q 2021   Δ%   Δ% 
Total revenues   33,799    28,760    17.5%   17.6%
Gross profit   15,855    14,201    11.6%   11.7%

Operating cash flow (2)   7,171    6,062    18.3%   18.3%

 

Volume increased 9.2% to 555.8 million unit cases, driven by a solid performance in Mexico, coupled with double-digit volume increases in Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua.

 

Total revenues increased 17.5% to Ps. 33,799 million, driven mainly by volume growth in all of our territories, our pricing initiatives across the division, and favorable price-mix effects. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects of some of our operating currencies in the division into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 17.6%.

 

Gross profit increased 11.6% to Ps. 15,855 million, and gross margin contracted 250 basis points to 46.9%. This margin contraction was driven mainly by an increase in raw material costs such as PET and sweeteners, which was partially offset by our raw material hedging strategies and an increase in our top-line. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 11.7%.

 

Operating income increased 18.6% to Ps. 5,059 million, and operating margin expanded 20 basis points to 15.0% during the period, driven mainly by operating expense efficiencies, partially offset by an increase in fuel, freight, and maintenance expenses. On a comparable basis, operating income would have remained flat.

   As Reported   Comparable (1) 
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos  3Q 2022   3Q 2021   Δ%   Δ% 
Total revenues   23,294    19,556    19.1%   21.9%
Gross profit   9,537    7,616    25.2%   29.3%
Operating income   2,275    2,211    2.9%   2.3%
Operating cash flow (2)   3,455    3,258    6.1%   8.5%

 

Volume increased 7.1% to 370.0 million unit cases, driven mainly by a double-digit volume increase in Argentina, and a solid performance in Brazil, Colombia, and Uruguay. On a comparable basis, our volume for the division would have increased 4.4%.

 

Total revenues increased 19.1% to Ps. 23,294 million, driven mainly by our pricing initiatives, volume growth, and favorable price-mix effects. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in beer revenues as a result of the transition of our beer portfolio in Brazil, coupled with unfavorable currency translation effects. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 21.9%.

 

Gross profit increased 25.2% to Ps. 9,537 million, and gross margin expanded 200 basis points to 40.9%. This growth was driven mainly by solid top-line growth, favorable price-mix effects, and raw material hedging strategies. These effects were partially offset by increases in raw material costs such as PET and sweeteners. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 29.3%.

 

Operating income increased 2.9% to Ps. 2,275 million in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a margin contraction of 150 basis points to 9.8%. This decline in operating margin was driven mainly by a tough comparison base due to the recognition of non-recurring tax income of Ps. 620 million during the third quarter of 2021 related to favorable entitlements to reclaim certain taxes, following a favorable decision from Brazilian tax authorities, partially offset by favorable operating leverage as a result of solid volume growth across the division. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 2.3%.

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 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

 

In an effort to provide our readers with a more useful representation of our company’s underlying financial and operating performance, as of the first quarter 2020, we adjusted our methodology to calculate our comparable figures, no longer excluding hyperinflationary operations. Due to this change, 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; 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.
