Mexico City, February 23, 2023, 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 fourth quarter and full year of 2022.

FOURTH QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Consolidated volumes increased 4.6%, driven mainly by volume growth in Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, and Uruguay, partially offset by a slight volume decline in Colombia. On a comparable basis, volume increased 3.6%.

Total revenues increased 14.9%, while comparable revenues increased 18.9%, driven mainly by favorable price-mix effects, coupled with volume growth. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects.

Operating income increased 15.9%, while comparable operating income increased 18.0%. Our solid top-line growth, raw material hedging strategies, and operating expense efficiencies were partially offset by higher raw material costs.

Majority net income increased 23.0%, resulting in earnings per share¹ of Ps. 0.43 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 3.40, and per ADS were Ps. 34.00.).

FULL YEAR OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Consolidated volumes increased 8.6% driven by volume growth across all our territories, including double-digit increases in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Guatemala coupled with a solid performance in Mexico and Uruguay. On a comparable basis, excluding M&A, our volume increased 7.5%.

Total revenues increased 16.4%, while comparable revenues increased 17.8%, driven mainly by our pricing initiatives, favorable price-mix effects, and volume growth. These factors were partially offset by a decline in beer revenues related to the transition of the beer portfolio in Brazil and unfavorable currency translation effects.

Operating income increased 12.5%, while comparable operating income increased 11.6% driven mainly by solid top-line and operating expense efficiencies. These effects were partially offset by higher raw material costs, coupled with a tough comparison base that includes the recognition of non-recurring tax effects in Brazil during 2021.

Majority net income increased 21.2%, resulting in earnings per share¹ of Ps. 1.13 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 9.06, and per ADS were Ps. 90.60.).

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

“2022 was a positive year for Coca-Cola FEMSA. In the face of an inflationary environment, our company was able to deliver its highest ever top-line, operating income, and operating cash flow levels. Notably, we were able to deliver double-digit top-line growth across our territories, reflecting our company’s ability to execute the right strategies locally, our revenue growth management initiatives, and effective point-of-sale execution. Simultaneously, we leveraged our enhanced cooperation framework with The Coca-Cola Company to increase investments in the business, advanced the rollout of our B2B omnichannel platform, and expand our multi-category strategy to explore new revenue streams in key territories.

Looking ahead, I am encouraged by the opportunities we see for our company. I am convinced that we have a talented team, clear rights-to-win, and positive momentum to enter a new chapter of growth and sustainable value creation for Coca-Cola FEMSA.”

CONSOLIDATED FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

CONSOLIDATED FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

	As Reported			Comparable ⁽¹⁾
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos	4Q 2022	4Q 2021	Δ%	Δ%
Total revenues	61,209	53,273	14.9%	18.9%
Gross profit	27,068	23,985	12.9%	16.9%
Operating income	9,013	7,778	15.9%	18.0%
Operating cash flow ⁽²⁾	11,954	10,648	12.3%	16.5%

Volume increased 4.6% to 995.3 million unit cases, driven mainly by volume growth in Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, and Uruguay. This increase was partially offset by a slight volume decline in Colombia. On a comparable basis, our volume would have increased 3.6%.

Total revenues increased 14.9% to Ps. 61,209 million. This increase was driven mainly by our pricing initiatives to offset increases in raw material costs, favorable price-mix effects, and volume growth. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects of most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 18.9%.

Gross profit increased 12.9% to Ps. 27,068 million, and gross margin decreased 80 basis points to 44.2%. This gross margin decrease was driven by higher raw material costs, mainly PET and sweeteners. These effects were partially offset by our top-line growth, the appreciation of the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs, and favorable raw material hedging initiatives. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 16.9%.

Operating income increased 15.9% to Ps. 9,013 million, and operating margin increased 10 basis points to 14.7%. This increase was driven mainly by our solid top-line performance, operational leverage, coupled with operating expense efficiencies across our operations. These effects were partially offset by increases in raw material costs. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 18.0%.

Please refer to page 9 for our definition of “comparable” and a description of the factors affecting the comparability of our financial and operating performance.

⁽²⁾

Operating cash flow = operating income + depreciation + amortization & other operating non-cash charges.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,092 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 748 million in the same period of 2021.

This increase was driven mainly by a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 281 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 79 million recorded during the same period of 2021, as our cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the quarterly appreciation of the Mexican Peso.

In addition, we recorded higher interest expenses of Ps. 1,833 million as compared to Ps. 1,592 million recorded during the same period of 2021. This is a result of increases in interest rates.

Moreover, we recognized a lower gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 128 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to a gain of Ps. 270 during the same period of the previous year.

Finally, this quarter we recognized a lower gain in the market value of financial instruments of Ps. 72 million, as compared to a gain of Ps. 131 million during the fourth quarter of 2021.

These effects were partially offset by higher interest income for Ps. 821 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 365 million recorded during the same period of 2021, related to an increase in interest rates.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 7.7% as compared to 14.1% during the same period of the previous year. This lower effective tax rate was mainly driven by deferred tax effects.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 7,144 million as compared to Ps. 5,809 million during the same period of the previous year, driven mainly by solid operating results, coupled with a decline in the effective tax rate. Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.43 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 3.40 and per ADS were Ps. 34.0.).

Gross profit	100,300	88,598	13.2%	14.6%
Operating income	30,838	27,402	12.5%	11.6%
Operating cash flow ⁽²⁾	43,001	38,849	10.7%	11.4%

Volume increased 8.6% to 3,755.2 million unit cases, driven mainly by volume growth across all of our territories, including double-digit increases in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Guatemala, coupled with solid performances in Mexico and Uruguay. On a comparable basis, excluding M&A, our volume would have increased 7.5%.

Total revenues increased 16.4% to Ps. 226,740 million. This increase was driven mainly by volume growth, our pricing initiatives to offset increases in raw material costs, 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 and unfavorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, excluding M&A and currency translation effects, total revenues would have increased 17.8%.

Gross profit increased 13.2% to Ps. 100,300 million, and gross margin decreased 130 basis points to 44.2%. This decrease in gross margin 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 PET and sweeteners. These effects were partially offset by top-line growth and favorable raw material hedging initiatives. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 14.6%.

Operating income increased 12.5% to Ps. 30,838 million, and operating margin decreased 50 basis points to 13.6%. This operating margin decrease was driven mainly by higher raw material costs, coupled with a tough comparison base that included the recognition of non-recurring tax income of Ps. 620 million during the third quarter of 2021. These effects were partially offset by our solid top-line performance, coupled with operating expense efficiencies across our territories. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 11.6%.

Operating cash flow = operating income + depreciation + amortization & other operating non-cash charges.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 4,549 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 4,219 million in 2021.

This increase was driven mainly by a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 324 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 227 million recorded during the same period of 2021, as our cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso.

In addition, we recognized a loss in the market value of financial instruments of Ps. 672 million, as compared to a gain of Ps. 80 million during 2021.

Additionally, we recorded an increase in interest expense. During the year, interest expenses were Ps. 6,500 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 6,192 million during 2021. This increase was mainly driven by increases in interest rates, partially offset by the tender offer completed during the third quarter of 2022.

Finally, we recognized a lower gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries, recording Ps. 536 million during 2022, as compared to a gain of Ps. 734 million during the previous year.

These effects were partially offset by higher interest income, resulting in Ps. 2,411 million during 2022, as compared to a gain of Ps. 932 million recorded during 2021. This increase is related to an increase in interest rates.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 25.4% as compared to 28.9% during the same period of the previous year, mainly driven by deferred tax effects.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 19,034 million as compared to Ps. 15,708 million during the same period of the previous year, an increase of 21.2%. This was driven mainly by operating income growth, coupled with a decline in our effective tax rate during the year. Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 1.13 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 9.06, and per ADS were Ps. 90.61.).

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.
