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).

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:
