José Antonio Fernandez Carbajal, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

During the second quarter, we continued to see good momentum and strong performance from our core business units. Once again, most of our operations, including the two that contribute most to our results, delivered solid numbers. Proximity Americas saw a deceleration in the pace of same-store sales growth in Mexico against a tough comparison base, due in part to a shift in the timing of Holy Week celebrations, volatile weather, and the restriction of alcohol sales ahead of the national election, but offset by stellar gross margin and solid store expansion. Despite a challenging expense environment, Proximity Americas generated solid growth in operating income. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA delivered a remarkable set of numbers showing double-digit increases across its own income statement, driven once again by strong volume and revenue growth in its major markets.

 

We continued to see good results at Valora and OXXO Gas, with both businesses delivering double-digit growth in operating income. However, at our Health division we again faced competitive headwinds in Mexico offset by a stable performance in Chile and continued solid results in Colombia retail, and we are laser-focused with our plans to change the trajectory in Mexico to bring it in line with the positive dynamics we see elsewhere at FEMSA. Finally, at Digital, we continued to add users and advance towards our ecosystem objectives.

 

During the quarter, we also made strides on the execution of our capital allocation framework, actively utilizing both the dividend and share buyback levers to return capital to shareholders. And in early July, we received the remaining payments for the divestiture of our stake in Jetro Restaurant Depot, and we signed agreements to divest our refrigeration and foodservice equipment operations, as we continue to act on our stated objectives.

 

I want to thank our entire team for yet another quarter of excellent effort and results. We are maintaining the push into the second half of the year, confident that we can further maintain our positive momentum.

Total revenues increased 12.2% in 2Q24 compared to 2Q23, driven by growth across most of our business units and despite Holy week holidays having occurred in 2Q23 vs. in 2Q24, and volatile weather conditions.

 

Gross profit increased 19.1%. Gross margin increased 240 basis points, mainly reflecting margin expansions in Proximity Americas, Proximity Europe and Coca-Cola Femsa; and stable margins in FEMSA’s Health and Fuel operations.

 

Income from operations increased 15.8% mainly driven by growth in most of our business units, which was partially offset by a decrease in the Health division. The consolidated operating margin was 8.9% as a percentage of total sales, an expansion of 30 basis points, mainly explained by an expansion in the Proximity Europe division and stable margins in Proximity Americas, Coca-Cola FEMSA, and Fuel operations.

 

Our effective income tax rate was 29.6% in 2Q24 compared to 28.9% in 2Q23. Our income tax provision was Ps. 6,555 million in 2Q24.

 

Net consolidated income was Ps. 15,669 million, compared to Ps. 8,926 million in 2Q23, increasing 75.5%, reflecting: i) a non-cash foreign exchange gain of Ps. 6,131 million related to FEMSA’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position and derivative financial instruments positively impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican peso; ii) a non-operating expense of Ps. 137 million compared to an income of Ps. 9,511 million in the 2Q23, mostly reflecting the divestment of FEMSA’s minority stake in Jetro and dividends received from Heineken in 2023; iii) a higher interest income of Ps. 4,136 million related to an increase in our cash balance; and iv) a higher interest expense of Ps. 5,599 million, compared to Ps. 2,399 million in 2Q23, reflecting a benefit in the 2Q23 from a one-time gain related to the repurchase of debt.

 

Net majority income was Ps. 3.52 per FEMSA Unit4 and US$1.93 per FEMSA ADS3.

 

Net Debt / EBITDA. As of June 30, 2024, the cash and investments were Ps. 131,153 million and total debt was Ps. 167,172 million, resulting in a net debt of Ps. 36,019 million. Net Debt / EBITDA ratio ex-KOF was 0.6x.

 

Capital expenditures amounted Ps. 11,312 million, 5.7% as a percentage of total sales, and an increase of 35.1% compared to the 2Q23, mainly driven by higher investments in Coca-Cola FEMSA and Proximity Americas on ongoing investment initiatives aimed at organic growth and improving our productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness.

Total revenues increased 8.9% in 2Q24 compared to 2Q23, reflecting 4.1% average same-store sales for the Proximity Americas Division, driven by 4.7% growth in average customer ticket and a decrease of 0.6% in store traffic. These figures reflect a solid performance given that the Holy Week occurred in the 1Q24 vs. 2Q24, a strong comparison base, volatile weather conditions, and the restriction of alcohol sales ahead of the national election. Categories such as water and candy posted positive results, which were partially offset by a negative mix effects with declines in beer and soft drinks. During the quarter, the OXXO store base in Mexico & Latam expanded by 390 units to reach 1,621 total net store additions for the last twelve months. As of June 30, 2024, Proximity Americas had a total of 23,680 OXXO stores. The decline in net additions in the 2Q24 vs. 2Q23 is mainly related to a stronger start of openings this year than usual and does not reflect a change in the total expected openings in Mexico this year.

 

Gross profit reached 44.1% of total revenues, reflecting a 310-basis points expansion resulting from higher contribution of financial services and an increase in commercial income, as well as revenue growth management initiatives which contributed to better pricing dynamics.

 

Income from operations represented 9.9% of total revenues, 10 basis points below 2Q23. Operating expenses increased 20.3% to Ps. 26,870 million, mainly reflecting higher operating expenses as we build our platform in South America, an increase in labor expenses across operations, and our ongoing investments to enhance our commercial capabilities such as market segmentation and product assortment.

Total revenues decreased 0.4% in 2Q24 compared to 2Q23, impacted by several factors such a persistent negative competitive environment in Mexico coupled with a decline in Ecuador, these effects were partially offset by revenue growth in Chile and Colombia. During the quarter, the store base increased by 56 units reaching a total of 4,496 locations across our territories, as of June 30, 2024. This figure reflects the addition of 229 net new locations in the last twelve months. Same-store sales decreased by an average of 1.1%, reflecting the trends described above.

 

Gross profit was 30.3% of total revenues, stable year on year, reflecting higher retail sales in our operation in Colombia, and increased promotional activities in our operations in South America. These was partially offset by lower sales in Mexico and Ecuador.

 

Income from operations amounted to 4.1% of total revenues, resulting in a decline of 14.8%, which represents a sequential improvement compared to the 40% decline in the 1Q24, mainly explained by income from operations growth in Colombia and stable results in Chile, which were offset by declines in Mexico and Ecuador. Operating expenses increased 2.6% to Ps. 4,954 million, explained by expenses incurred from strategic adjustments to our value proposition in Mexico and the expansion of stores in Colombia, which were partially offset by tight expense control.

Our effective income tax rate was 31.9% for the six months of 2024, compared to 29.6% in 2023. Our income tax provision was Ps. 9,936 million for the six months of 2024.

 

Net consolidated income was Ps. 21,450 million reflecting; i) a challenging comparative base from the first six months of 2023, which included a gain of Ps. 40,606 million from the reclassification of FEMSA’s investment in Heineken to discontinued operations; ii) a non-operating expense of Ps. 624 million compared to an income of Ps. 9,471 million in the 2Q23, mostly reflecting the divestment of FEMSA’s minority stake in Jetro and dividends received from Heineken in 2023; iii) lower interest income of Ps. 6,837 million compared to Ps. 9,862 million in of 2023 attributable to a gain from the purchase of debt of US$1.7 billion during 2023; and iv) a higher interest expense amounting to Ps. 10,271 million compared to Ps. 5,653 in million reflecting a benefit in the 2023 from a one-time gain related to debt repurchase. This was partially offset by a non-cash foreign exchange gain of Ps. 5,008 million related to FEMSA’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position and financial derivatives positive impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican peso.

 

Net majority income per FEMSA Unit2 was Ps.4.32 (US$2.37 per ADS).

 

Capital expenditures amounted to Ps. 18,882 million, an increase of 39.5% compared to 2023, reflecting our store expansion in Proximity Americas and higher investments in core capabilities across our business units.

 

 

1 Adjusted EBITDA: Operating Income + Depreciation + Amortizations.

2 FEMSA Units consist of FEMSA BD Units and FEMSA B Units. Each FEMSA BD Unit is comprised of one Series B Share, two Series D-B Shares and two Series D-L Shares. Each FEMSA B Unit is comprised of five Series B Shares. The number of FEMSA Units outstanding as of June 30, 2024 was 3,578,226,270, equivalent to the total number of FEMSA Shares outstanding as of the same date, divided by 5.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

·In preparing our consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, we identified that certain transactions related to our non-core discontinued operations (Solistica and AlPunto) were incorrectly classified for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and the comparable period in 2023. We have attached to this press release reclassified information for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that shows the variations from the previously reported information and the 2023 reclassified comparable figures; this can be found on page 23-24. It is important to highlight that these corrections do not impact the consolidated net profit of the Company in either period or the results of the business units which are reported individually for those periods.

 

No reclassification is required in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the information included in this press release for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2024 reflects the correct classification.

 

·On June 10, 2024, FEMSA announced that it has entered into a new derivative instrument in the form of an accelerated share repurchase transaction (“ASR”) to repurchase the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”). Under the terms of this new ASR, FEMSA has agreed to repurchase up to USD $600 million of its ADSs. The total number of ADSs ultimately repurchased under this ASR will be based on the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s ADSs during the term of the ASR and subject to certain limitations. The final settlement of the ASR is expected to be completed, at the latest, in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Additionally, the Company announces the completion of the ASR announced in March 2024, with the final delivery of the shares repurchased thereunder made on May 28, 2024. The Company repurchased a total of approximately 3.2 million ADSs at an average price of USD $123.27 per ADS, for a total amount of USD $400 million.

 

·On July 1, 2024, FEMSA received all remaining amounts related to the divestment of our stake in Jetro Restaurant Depot corresponding to USD $945 million.

 

·On July 8, 2024, FEMSA announced that on June 4, 2024, it made a partial buyback offer in international markets (the “Repurchase Offer”), with respect to debt securities denominated in United States dollars, issued previously by FEMSA, through which it agreed to repurchase debt securities due 2050 for a principal amount of US$ 206.7 million. The settlement of the buyback was carried out on June 20, 2024, and simultaneously FEMSA canceled the total amount of securities repurchase.

 

·On July 17, 2024, FEMSA announced it has reached a definitive agreement with Mill Point Capital LLC, a US based private equity firm, to divest FEMSA’s refrigeration and foodservice equipment operations, Imbera and Torrey, for a total amount of $8,000 million pesos (approximately USD $450 million), on a cash-free, debt-free basis.

 

This transaction represents an additional step in the continued execution of the FEMSA Forward plan that was communicated in February of 2023. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, and is expected to close by the end of the year.

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

 

"As we close a positive first half of the year, I am encouraged by the progress we are making in implementing a long-term sustainable growth model. For the second quarter, we delivered solid volume growth in Mexico, Central America, and Brazil, achieving double-digit consolidated revenue and operating income growth. We also continued progressing towards becoming our customers’ preferred commercial platform, completing the rollout of Juntos+ version 4.0 in Mexico and Brazil, while beginning its implementation in Guatemala, Panama, and Colombia. This version features advanced analytics and a more user-friendly interface. Now more than half of our total customer base are digital buyers.

 

Last May, our resilience and ability to respond to challenges was put to the test by the severe flooding that impacted the south of Brazil. I want to take a moment to express our heartfelt support to all of the people affected by this flooding and to recognize the leadership and swift actions taken by our team to ensure the wellbeing of our Brazilian collaborators as well as their families and to provide effective community support while also mitigating operational disruptions.

 

Looking ahead, our priorities for the year remain clear: continue building on the growth momentum of our core business, take Juntos+ to the next level, continue developing our customer-centric culture, and implementing initiatives to foster a sustainable future.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

On May 10, 2024, Coca-Cola FEMSA announced the suspension of operations at its Porto Alegre plant, resulting from the floods that impacted the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The Company, working together with FEMSA, The Coca-Cola Company, and the rest of the Coca-Cola System in Brazil, focused its efforts on providing support and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of its employees and their families, as well as providing support to local communities as the top priority. In addition, the Company implemented initiatives to mitigate operating disruptions, such as sourcing finished product from surrounding territories and setting up alternative sales and distribution networks to serve its customers. The Company has now completed site cleaning and is working towards a gradual reopening of this facility.

 

On July 16, 2024, Coca-Cola FEMSA paid the second installment of the ordinary dividend approved for Ps. 0.19 per share, for a total cash distribution of Ps. 3,193.26 million.

 

On July 19, 2024, Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA announced their inclusion in the FTSE4Good Emerging Markets Latin America Index for the ninth consecutive year. This recognition underscores both companies’ sustainability performance.

CONSOLIDATED SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

 

 

CONSOLIDATED SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

   As Reported   Comparable (1) 
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos  2Q 2024   2Q 2023   Δ%   Δ% 
Total revenues   69,456    61,428    13.1%   17.9%
Gross profit   31,961    27,267    17.2%   22.0%
Operating income   9,746    8,562    13.8%   17.5%
Adj. EBITDA (2)   13,922    11,439    21.7%   27.0%

 

Volume increased 7.5% to 1,095.8 million unit cases, driven by volume growth in most of our territories, including a strong performance in Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, and our Central America South territories, partially offset by a decrease in Argentina and Uruguay.

 

Total revenues increased 13.1% to Ps. 69,456 million. This increase was driven mainly by solid volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects of most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 17.9%.

 

Gross profit increased 17.2% to Ps. 31,961 million, and gross margin increased 160 basis points to 46.0%. This expansion was driven mainly by our top-line growth, coupled with favorable packaging costs and favorable hedging initiatives. These effects were partially offset by higher sweetener costs across our territories and the depreciation of the Argentine Peso. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 22.0%

 

Operating income increased 13.8% to Ps. 9,746 million, and operating margin increased 10 basis points to 14.0%. This resilient margin performance was driven mainly by operating leverage and operating expense efficiencies, offsetting a non-cash operating foreign exchange loss driven by the depreciation of the Mexican Peso, increases in operating expenses such as labor, freight, and maintenance, and non-recurring expenses related to the flooding in the South of Brazil. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 17.5%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 885 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,377 million in the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 177 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 437 million, as our net cash exposure in U.S. dollars was positively impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican Peso and the Brazilian Real.

 

In addition, we recognized a gain of Ps. 61 million in financial instruments as compared to a loss of Ps. 68 million as compared to the same period of the previous year related to an increase in the long-term interest rates in Brazil.

 

These effects were partially offset by higher interest expenses, net, of Ps. 1,157 million as compared to Ps. 935 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly as a result of (i) lower interest income, and (ii) a slight increase in our interest expense.

 

Additionally, we recorded a lower gain in monetary positions in inflationary subsidiaries as compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 34.9% as compared to 27.2% during the same period of 2023. This increase was driven mainly by inflationary effects, deferred taxes, and the recognition of a one-time effect related to previous acquisitions in Brazil.

 

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 5,608 million as compared to Ps. 4,926 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth and a decrease in our comprehensive financing result that was partially offset by an increase in our effective tax rate. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.33 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 2.67 and per ADS were Ps. 26.69.).

 

 

(1) Quarterly earnings / outstanding shares. Earnings per share (EPS) were calculated using 16,806.7 million 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.

Adj. EBITDA (2)   25,949    21,930    18.3%   24.6%

 

Volume increased 7.5% to 2,104.4 million unit cases, driven by volume growth in most of our territories, including a strong performance in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, and our Central America South territories, partially offset by a decrease in Argentina and Uruguay.

 

Total revenues increased 12.7% to Ps. 133,685 million. This increase was driven mainly by solid volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects of most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 18.0%.

 

Gross profit increased 15.0% to Ps. 60,561 million, and gross margin expanded 90 basis points to 45.3%. This gross profit increase was driven mainly by our top-line growth, coupled with favorable packaging costs and hedging initiatives. These effects were partially offset by higher sweetener costs across our territories and the depreciation of the Argentine Peso. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 20.4%.

 

Operating income increased 13.0% to Ps. 18,380 million, and operating margin remained flat at 13.7%. This stable margin performance was driven by i) increases in operating expenses such as labor, freight, and maintenance, ii) a tough comparison base that included a non-cash operating foreign exchange gain in Mexico, as compared to a loss during the second quarter of this year, and iii) non-recurring expenses related to the flooding in the South of Brazil. These effects were offset by top-line growth and operating expense efficiencies. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 18.1%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 2,080 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 2,774 million in the previous year. This decrease is explained mainly by a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 204 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 1,066 million, as our net cash exposure in U.S. dollars was positively impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican Peso and the Brazilian Real during the first six months of 2024.

 

Additionally, we recorded a gain of Ps. 15 million in financial instruments as compared to a loss of Ps. 15 million as compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

In addition, we recognized an interest expense of Ps. 3,648 million as compared to an expense of Ps. 3,678 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly as a result of a lower interest expense related to the maturity of a Mexican Peso denominated bond, partially offset by new financing in Mexico and Argentina.

 

These effects were partially offset by a lower interest income of Ps. 1,307 million as compared to Ps. 1,866 million during the same period of the previous year, mainly as a result of a decrease in interest rates in Brazil and Mexico. Additionally, we recorded a lower gain in monetary positions in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 42 million, as compared to a gain of Ps. 120 million during the same period of the previous year.

 

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 32.9% as compared to 29.6% during the same period of 2023. This increase was driven mainly by inflationary effects and deferred taxes.

 

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company increased 19.8% to reach Ps. 10,598 million during the first six months of 2024, as compared to Ps. 8,837 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth, coupled with a decrease in our comprehensive financing result. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.63 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 5.04 and per ADS were Ps. 50.45.).

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.”

 

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

 

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

 

COMPARABILITY

 

Our “comparable” term means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change of a given measure excluding the effects of: (i) mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; 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.
