Eduardo Padilla, FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

“The third quarter was a positive one on both the operational and strategic fronts. Operationally, we saw solid performances across our business units. OXXO continued to grow at a steady pace in Mexico, and we again saw encouraging data from the international operations. The Health division continued to see a soft patch in Chile but we are quickly making progress in the integration of GPF in Ecuador, while the Fuel division did not add to its number of stations but still managed to deliver encouraging results during the quarter. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA saw a resilient consumer environment in Mexico and solid growth in South America, combining to deliver a positive operating performance.

Strategically, we made two important announcements, first on our new joint venture with Raízen in Brazil, and more recently on our investment and joint venture with Jetro Restaurant Depot. These are relevant steps in our quest to deploy capital in high-growth, high-return retail assets, and we are very excited about both opportunities.”

¹ Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months.

² Comparable Results: Starting on the first quarter of 2019, we adopted the International Financial Reporting Standard 16 – "Leases" ("IFRS 16") across all our business units. The Comparable Results is a set of numbers which estimate the retroactive effect that the adoption of IFRS 16 would have had on FEMSA's 2018 financial results. The performance comparisons expressed in this document will be made relative to the Comparable Results unless stated otherwise.

Results are compared to the same period of previous year

Total revenues increased 10.2% in 3Q19 compared to 3Q18, reflecting growth across all business units. On an organic basis,¹ total revenues grew 8.1%.

Gross profit grew 12.8%. Gross margin expanded 90 basis points, mainly driven by strong expansion at FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity and Fuel Divisions, partially offset by a contraction at Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division.

Income from operations increased 18.1%. On an organic basis,¹ income from operations increased 17.7%. Consolidated operating margin increased 70 basis points to 9.7% of total revenues, reflecting margin expansion at Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA Comercio’s Fuel Division. These were partially offset by margin contraction at FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity and Health Divisions.

Income tax was Ps. 3,391 million in 3Q19.

Net consolidated income increased 52.9% to Ps. 9,613 million, driven by the increase in our Income from operations described above, and a non-cash foreign exchange gain related to FEMSA’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position as impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican peso.

Net majority income was Ps. 2.03 per FEMSA Unit² and US$1.03 per FEMSA ADS.

Capital expenditures amounted to Ps. 6,776 million, reflecting higher investments at most of our business units.

Total revenues increased 10.1% in 3Q19 compared to 3Q18, reflecting the opening of 232 net new OXXO stores in the quarter to reach 1,362 total net new store openings for the last twelve months. As of September 30, 2019, FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity Division had a total of 18,840 OXXO stores. OXXO’s same-store sales increased an average of 5.0%, driven by 6.5% growth in average customer ticket, which was partially offset by a decrease of 1.4% in store traffic.

Gross profit reached 40.0% of total revenues, reflecting: i) sustained growth of the services category including income from financial services; ii) healthy trends in our commercial income activity; and iii) increased and more efficient promotional programs with our key supplier partners.

Income from operations amounted to 9.1% of total revenues. Operating expenses increased 15.0% to Ps. 14,970 million, above revenues, mainly reflecting: i) our continuing initiative to strengthen our compensation structure of key in-store personnel in a tight labor market, including the gradual shift from commission-based store teams to employee-based teams; and ii) higher secure cash handling costs driven by increased volume and higher operational costs. These were partially offset by lower electricity costs as more than half of our stores in Mexico are now being supplied from wind energy.

*vs. Comparable Results

Total revenues increased 26.6% in 3Q19 compared to 3Q18. On an organic basis,¹ total revenues grew 6.2% reflecting stable trends in Mexico and positive trends in Colombia, that were partially offset by soft trading in Chile and a negative currency translation effect related to the appreciation of the Mexican peso compared to the Chilean and Colombian pesos. As of September 30, 2019, FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division had a total of 3,130 points of sale across our territories. This figure reflects the addition of 69 net new stores in the quarter, to reach 827 total net new store additions for the last twelve months, including the integration of Corporación GPF during the 2Q19. Same-store sales for drugstores decreased an average of 0.7%, reflecting the effects described above.

Gross profit represented 29.4% of total revenues, reflecting; i) new pricing regulations in Colombia; ii) increased promotional activity in Chile; and iii) the consolidation of Corporación GPF. These were partially offset by improved efficiency and more effective collaboration and execution with our key supplier partners in Mexico.

Income from operations amounted to 4.1% of total revenues. Operating expenses increased 25.1% to Ps. 4,029 million, as cost efficiencies and tight expense control across our legacy territories were more than offset by the consolidation of Corporación GPF, which has a relatively higher operating expense structure.

¹ Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months.

Coca-Cola FEMSA Announces Results for Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2019

Mexico City, October 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 third quarter and the first nine months of 2019.

THIRD QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

·	Volumes increased in Brazil and Central America, while remaining stable in Mexico; transactions outperformed volumes in Argentina and Brazil.
·	Revenues increased 10.3%, while comparable revenues grew 11.6%. Solid pricing, revenue management initiatives across our operations, volume growth in Brazil and Central America, and extraordinary other operating revenues related to tax reclaims in Brazil were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects mainly from the Argentine and Colombian Peso.
·	Operating income increased 21.4%, while comparable operating income increased 22.8%. A favorable price mix, stable raw material prices, operating expense efficiencies, and extraordinary tax effects in Brazil were partially offset by higher concentrate costs and the depreciation of all of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.
·	Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.24 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.92 and per ADS were Ps. 19.17).

John Santa Maria, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

“I am encouraged by our positive operating performance across our divisions. In Mexico and Central America, our solid top-line growth was underscored by our resilient Mexico operation—where our affordability, portfolio innovation, and commercial initiatives are enabling us to drive price mix improvements—coupled with solid volume growth in Central America, driven by our improved route to market. In South America, I am pleased by the turnaround of our Brazilian operation, which continues to post solid volume performance, as it builds on two years of continuous growth. This is driven by our relentless focus on our consumers, resulting in market share gains across key categories. In addition, our Colombia operation’s single-serve affordability strategy is gaining traction as we focus on the profitability of our portfolio.

Moreover, we were selected for the Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index, reaffirming our commitment and challenging us to continue evolving our sustainability strategy.

As we approach the final stretch of the year, we are encouraged that our fundamental transformation has a long runway, which commits us to working extensively to continue delivering value for all of our stakeholders.”

Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos	3Q 2019	3Q 2018	Δ%	Δ%
Total revenues	48,699	44,148	10.3%	11.6%

Operating income	7,013	5,777	21.4%	22.8%
Operating cash flow ⁽³⁾	10,069	8,492	18.6%	21.2%

Volume increased 0.3% to 842.1 million unit cases, driven mainly by 5.6% growth in Brazil, 2.8% growth in Central America, and stable performance in Mexico, partially offset by volume declines in Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay. On a comparable basis, total volumes increased 1.4%.

Total revenues increased 10.3% to Ps. 48,699 million. This figure includes extraordinary other operating revenues related to an entitlement to reclaim tax payments in Brazil. Our revenues were driven mainly by healthy pricing in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia, revenue management initiatives across our territories, volume growth in Brazil and Central America, and a favorable mix effect driven by transactions growing ahead of volumes mainly in Brazil. These factors were partially offset by the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of the Argentine Peso, the Colombian Peso, the Uruguayan Peso, and the Nicaraguan Cordoba as compared to the Mexican Peso, combined with volume declines in Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 11.6%.

Gross profit increased 7.1% to Ps. 21,667 million, and gross margin contracted 130 basis points to 44.5%. Lower packaging prices, stable sweetener prices mainly in Brazil, and a favorable currency hedging position in most of our operations 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; and iii) 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 7.6%.

Operating income increased 21.4% to Ps. 7,013 million, and operating margin expanded 130 basis points to 14.4%. This increase was driven mainly by operating expense efficiencies and tax reclaims in Brazil, partially offset by restructuring severance payments of Ps. 367 million related to our efficiency program and other tax-related provisions. The total net amount of extraordinary tax effects in Brazil this quarter is Ps. 1,139 million. On a comparable basis, operating income increased 22.8%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,430 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,322 million in the same period of 2018. This increase was driven mainly by a market value loss in financial instruments recognized during the quarter. This effect was partially offset by a reduction in our interest expense, net, as compared to the same period of 2018 and a foreign exchange gain—as our cash exposure in U.S. dollars was positively impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican Peso during the third quarter of 2019.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 25.9% as compared to 31.4% 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 across our operations.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company reached Ps. 4,027 million as compared to Ps. 3,266 million during the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.24 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.92, and earnings per ADS were Ps. 19.17.).

Volume increased 1.2% to 2,479.3 million unit cases in the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018, driven mainly by solid growth in Brazil and the consolidation of acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay, partially offset by volume declines in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico.

Total revenues increased 9.1% to Ps. 142,504 million in the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. This figure includes extraordinary other operating revenues related to an entitlement to reclaim tax payments in Brazil. Total revenues were driven mainly by healthy pricing, revenue management initiatives across our territories, volume growth in Brazil, the consolidation of recently acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay, and a favorable mix effect driven by transactions growing ahead of volumes in Argentina, Brazil, and Central America. 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 declines in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 4,566 million during the first nine months of 2019 compared to an expense of Ps. 4,837 million in the same period of 2018. For this period, 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 first nine months of 2019—and a reduction in other financial expenses.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 27.4% as compared to 31.2 % during the first nine months of the previous year.

Operating cash flow ⁽³⁾		4,147		3,090		34.2	%		44.4	%

Volume increased 0.4% to 306.4 million unit cases, driven by strong volume growth of 5.6% in Brazil, partially offset by volume declines in Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay. On a comparable basis, volume grew 3.7%.

Total revenues increased 13.6% to Ps. 20,533 million. This figure includes extraordinary other operating revenues related to an entitlement to reclaim tax payments in Brazil. Revenues were driven mainly by strong volume growth in Brazil, pricing ahead of inflation in Brazil, and a favorable mix effect driven by transactions outperforming volumes in Argentina and Brazil. These factors were partially offset by volume contractions in Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay, coupled with an unfavorable currency translation effect resulting from the depreciation of the Argentine Peso, Colombian Peso, and Uruguayan Peso as compared to the Mexican Peso. On a comparable basis, total revenues increased 17.4%.

Gross profit increased 7.9% to Ps. 8,279 million, and gross profit margin contracted 210 basis points to 40.3%. This is a result of our revenue management initiatives, a favorable currency hedging position, combined with lower PET prices in the division, and lower sweetener prices mainly in Brazil. These factors were partially offset by 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. On a comparable basis, gross profit increased 9.9%.

Operating income increased 43.9% to Ps. 2,918 million in the third quarter of 2019, resulting in a margin expansion of 300 basis points to 14.2%. This result includes operating expense efficiencies and tax reclaims in Brazil, partially offset by a decline in Argentina´s top line and restructuring severance payments of Ps. 160 million related to our efficiency program and other tax-related provisions. The total net amount of extraordinary tax effects in Brazil this quarter is Ps. 1,139 million. On a comparable basis, operating income increased 49.5%.

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 “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:

^{*Reported
2018 figures reflect the Philippines as a discontinued operation.}
