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 fourth quarter of 2024.

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

“2024 marks the second chapter of our transformation. During the year, we continued to build on the growth momentum of our core business, strengthened our portfolio, and increased our customer base. On the digital front, we took Juntos+, our B2B omnichannel platform, to the next level with the deployment of advanced AI capabilities. Juntos+ now reaches 1.3 million active users across Latin America, with more than 1.1 million users engaged in our Juntos+ Premia loyalty plan. Notably, we successfully developed and began the rollout in Brazil of a new salesforce tool, Juntos+ Advisor. This tool leverages advanced AI models to enhance our salesforce capabilities and improve customer engagement. All of this, as we reinforced our desired culture across our operations.

Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the opportunities across our markets. We are transforming Coca-Cola FEMSA into a highly adaptive organization to successfully navigate ever-changing environments. Indeed, last year we deployed a record amount of CAPEX, mainly focused on expanding production and distribution capacity. We are participating in a vibrant beverage industry within a growing region, and our teams are well-positioned to capture these opportunities and continue generating value for all of our stakeholders.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION

CONSOLIDATED FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Volume increased 2.2% to 1,079.1 million unit cases, driven by volume growth across most of our territories. Volume growth was driven mainly by Brazil, Mexico, and Guatemala, partially offset by a slight volume decline in Colombia.

Total revenues increased 14.3% to Ps. 75,528 million. This increase was driven by volume growth, revenue management initiatives, and favorable mix effects. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 13.0%.

Gross profit increased 17.1% to Ps. 35,695 million, and gross margin increased 120 basis points to 47.3%. This expansion was driven mainly by our top-line growth, favorable mix effects coupled with easing sweetener and PET costs and favorable hedging initiatives. These effects were partially offset by higher fixed costs, such as maintenance, and the depreciation of our main operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 15.5%.

Operating income increased 25.0% to Ps. 12,092 million, and operating margin increased 140 basis points to 16.0%. This margin expansion was driven mainly by top-line growth and operating expense efficiencies, that mitigated margin pressures related to higher operating expenses such as maintenance, freight, operative foreign exchange loss, and labor. Additionally, we incurred a one-time net expense of Ps. 730 million, primarily related to asset write-offs, site cleaning, and debris removal following the impact of hurricanes in Guerrero and the flooding in Rio Grande do Sul. This figure already reflects the recognition of insurance claims in both Mexico and Brazil. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 23.2%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 980 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,285 million in the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 57 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to a loss of Ps. 317 million in the same period of the previous year, which was driven by the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican Peso and the Brazilian Real as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated cash position. In addition, we recognized a higher gain in monetary positions in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 61 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 4 million in the same period of the previous year.

These effects were partially offset by a loss in financial instruments of Ps. 33 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 90 million in the same period of the previous year.

Finally, we recognized interest expense, net, of Ps. 1,065 million as compared to Ps. 1,062 million in the same period of the previous year as higher interest expense mainly driven by new financing in Argentina was offset by higher interest income related increases in notional and interest rates.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 33.1% as compared to 33.8% during the same period of 2023.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 7,286 million as compared to Ps. 5,392 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. 0.43 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 3.47 and per ADS were Ps. 34.68.).

CONSOLIDATED TWELVE MONTHS RESULTS

Volume increased 4.4% to 4,224.6 million unit cases, driven by volume growth in most of our territories, including Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Colombia, and our Central America South territories, partially offset by a decrease in Argentina and Uruguay.

Total revenues increased 14.2% to Ps. 279,793 million. This increase was driven by volume growth, revenue management initiatives, and favorable mix effects. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 14.3%.

Gross profit increased 16.1% to Ps. 128,736 million, and gross margin expanded 80 basis points to 46.0%. This gross profit increase was driven mainly by our top-line growth, favorable packaging and sweetener costs, and hedging initiatives. These effects were partially offset by fixed costs and the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 16.1%.

Operating income increased 17.4% to Ps. 40,141 million, and operating margin increased 40 basis points to 14.3%. This increase was driven mainly by top-line growth and operating expense efficiencies. These effects were partially offset by increases in operating expenses such as labor, freight, and maintenance and a non-cash operating foreign exchange loss. In addition, we recognized additional net expenses of Ps. 1,637 million related to asset write-offs and the removal of debris resulting from the impact of the hurricanes in Mexico and the floodings in Brazil. This figure includes the recognition of insurance claims in Mexico and Brazil. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 17.6%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 3,906 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 4,697 million in the previous year. This decrease is explained mainly by a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 304 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 1,046 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 2024. In addition, we recorded a higher gain on monetary position of inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 216 million as compared to Ps. 93 million.

These effects were partially offset by an increase in our interest expense, net, of Ps. 4,492 million as compared to an expense of Ps. 3,914 million in the same period of the previous year. This increase was mainly driven by an increase in our debt in Argentina and a reduction in our interest income.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 32.7% as compared to 30.5% during 2023. This increase was driven mainly by adjustments in deferred taxes.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company increased 21.5% to reach Ps. 23,729 million during the year 2024, as compared to Ps. 19,536 million during the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth, coupled with a decrease in our comprehensive financing result. These effects were partially offset by a higher income taxes rate. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 1.41 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 11.30 and per ADS were Ps. 112.95.).

MEXICO & CENTRAL AMERICA DIVISION FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

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

Volume increased 1.5%, driven by volume growth in all our territories across the division.

Total revenues increased 10.4% to Ps. 41,540 million, driven mainly by revenue management initiatives and the favorable translation effect from most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 7.2%.

Gross profit increased 10.0% to Ps. 20,255 million, and gross margin contracted 20 basis points to 48.8%. This margin decrease was driven mainly by higher fixed costs, such as maintenance and the depreciation of the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs, that offset our top-line growth and easing sweetener and packaging costs, coupled with favorable hedging initiatives. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 6.7%.

Operating income increased 23.7% to Ps. 6,947 million, and operating margin increased 180 basis points to 16.7%. This margin increase was driven mainly by our top-line growth, and operating expense efficiencies that mitigated margin pressures related to higher operating expenses such as labor, freight, and maintenance, coupled with an operating foreign exchange loss. In addition, this quarter we recognized one-time net expenses of Ps. 399 million related to asset write-offs and the removal of debris related to the impact of hurricanes in Mexico. This figure includes the recognition of insurance claims. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 19.0%.

SOUTH AMERICA DIVISION FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

(Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay)

Volume increased 3.0% to 489.5 million unit cases, driven mainly by 3.7% volume growth in Brazil, 8.9% volume growth in Uruguay, and a 2.9% increase in Argentina, partially offset by a 0.3% decrease in Colombia.

Total revenues increased 19.4% to Ps. 33,988 million. This increase was driven mainly by volume growth, coupled with revenue management initiatives. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from the Argentine Peso and the Brazilian Real into Mexican pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 21.0%.

Gross profit increased 28.1% to Ps. 15,439 million, and gross margin expanded 300 basis points to 45.4%. This expansion was driven mainly by top-line growth, coupled with a decrease in raw material costs, such as sweetener and PET, and fixed cost efficiencies, which were partially offset by purchases of finished products, and inventory write-offs in Brazil. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 29.5%.

Operating income increased 26.9% to Ps. 5,145 million, resulting in an operating margin expansion of 80 basis points to 15.1%. This increase was driven mainly by an increase in our gross profit, which was partially offset by higher operating expenses such as freight and marketing. In addition, this quarter we recognized one-time net expenses of Ps. 331 million related to asset write-offs and the removal of debris related to the impact of the floodings in Rio Grande do Sul. This figure includes the recognition of insurance claims. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 29.3%.

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.”

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 to maintain comparability.
