The components of cost of goods sold include raw materials (principally concentrate,
sweeteners and packaging materials), depreciation costs attributable to our production facilities, wages and other labor costs associated with labor force employed at our production facilities and certain overhead costs. Concentrate prices are
determined as a percentage of the retail price of our products in local currency, net of applicable taxes. Packaging materials, mainly PET resin and aluminum, and high-fructose corn syrup, used as a sweetener in some countries, are denominated in
U.S. dollars.
Administrative and Selling Expenses. Our administrative and selling expenses increased by 14.7% to Ps.
33,249 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Our administrative and selling expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 70 basis points to 30.6% in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, mainly as a result of expense efficiencies, which were partially offset by higher labor, freight, and fuel expenses.
Other Expenses Net. We recorded other expenses net of Ps. 531 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 as compared to Ps. 285 million in the same period in 2021, mainly as a result of the decrease in profit from the sale of fixed assets.
Comprehensive Financing Result. The term comprehensive financing result refers to the combined financial effects of
net interest expenses, net financial foreign exchange gains or losses, market value gains or losses on financial instruments, and net gains or losses on the monetary position of hyperinflationary countries where we operate. Net financial foreign
exchange gains or losses represent the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on financial assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than local currencies, and certain gains or losses resulting from derivative financial instruments.
A financial foreign exchange loss arises if a liability is denominated in a foreign currency that appreciates relative to the local currency between the date the liability is incurred and the date it is repaid, as the appreciation of the foreign
currency results in an increase in the amount of local currency, which must be exchanged to repay the specified amount of the foreign currency liability.
Comprehensive financing result in the six months ended June 30, 2022 recorded an expense of Ps. 2,765 million as compared to an
expense of Ps. 2,454 million in the same period in 2021. This 12.7% increase was mainly driven by a loss from derivative financial instruments of Ps. 581 million, as compared to a loss of Ps. 9 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. In accordance with IFRS
9, as of the second quarter of 2022, we recognized hedging gains or losses on debt instruments that are being hedged using interest rate derivatives. As a result, we recorded a one-off gain in Market
value gain (loss) on financial instruments of Ps. 653 million.
These effects were partially offset by a decrease in interest
expense, net, of 7.3% as compared to the same period of 2021, as we recognized an increase in our interest income related to an increase in interest rates in Mexico and Brazil.
In addition, we recognized a decrease in foreign exchange loss of 45.5% as compared to the same period of 2021, as our net cash exposure in
U.S. dollars was positively impacted by the depreciation of the Brazilian Real during the first six months of 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021.
Income Taxes. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, our effective income tax rate was 33.2% as compared to 36.5% in the
same period in 2021. This decrease was driven mainly by adjustments to deferred taxes for previous years that only occurred until the 3Q of 2021
Share of Equity Accounted Investees, Net of Taxes. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a gain of Ps.
138 million in the share of equity accounted investees, net of taxes as compared to a loss of Ps. 59 million in the same period in 2021, mainly due to improvements in the results of our investments in Mexico and Brazil.
Net Income (Equity holders of the parent). We reported a net controlling interest income of Ps. 7,532 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a net controlling interest income of Ps. 6,472 million in the same period in 2021. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth.
Results by Consolidated Reporting Segment

Central America
Total Revenues. Total revenues in our Mexico and Central America consolidated reporting segment
increased by 12.7% to Ps. 63,410 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, mainly as a result volume growth in all of our territories, our pricing initiatives across the division, and favorable price-mix effects.
