Mexico City, Mexico, October 28th, 2026 / — BECLE, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Cuervo”, “Becle” or the “Company”) (BMV: CUERVO) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30th, 2026.

All figures in this release are derived from the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30th, 2026, and for the nine-month period that ended on the same date, which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Volume declined 8.7% to 5.7 million 9L cases; Excluding b:oost, volume declined 5.6%, with a further sequential improvement in U.S. shipments as the distributor transition continues to progress.
  • Net sales decreased 15.3%; On a constant currency basis, net sales decreased 10.3%, or 9.6% excluding b:oost, driven by lower volumes and an unfavorable regional price/mix.
  • On a constant currency basis, gross margin decreased 330 bps, from 56.1% to 52.8%, driven by net sales per case pressure.
  • Excluding the effect of the P$753 million gain in other income recorded in the third quarter of 2025, EBITDA margin declined 760 bps, from 24.8% to 17.2%, on a constant currency basis.
  • Generated $1.0 billion pesos in net cash from operating activities.
  • Lease-adjusted net leverage of 1.3x, within the Company’s 1.0x to 1.5x target range.

All above-mentioned increases and decreases are compared to the corresponding period from last year.

Management commentary

“During the third quarter, the realignment of our U.S. distribution continued to progress, and our portfolio continued to outperform the broader full-strength spirits market, with our largest transition markets returning to growth. We remained focused on disciplined execution, protecting our brands and financial strength, and committed to creating sustainable value over time.”

EBITDA
EBITDA is a measure used in the Company’s financial analysis that is not recognized under IFRS but is calculated from amounts that derive from the Company’s financial statements. We calculate EBITDA as net income plus depreciation and amortization, income tax expense, and interest expense, less interest income, plus foreign exchange gain (loss).
EBITDA is not an IFRS measure of liquidity or performance, nor is EBITDA a recognized financial measure under IFRS. We believe that EBITDA can be useful to facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods on a combined basis, but these metrics may be calculated differently by other issuers. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to (i) net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or (ii) cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity.
Disclaimer
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements which are based on Becle’s current expectations and observations. Actual results obtained may vary significantly from these estimates. The information related to future performance contained in this press release should be read jointly with the risks included in the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report filed with the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission). This information, as well as future statements made by Becle or by any of its legal representatives, either in writing or verbally, may vary significantly from the actual results obtained. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and no assurance can be made as to the actual results obtained. Becle undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update or review any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or other related events.
