Coca-Cola FEMSA Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

Mexico City, April 28, 2022, 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 first quarter of 2022.

FIRST QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Consolidated volumes increased 10.1% as compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase was driven mainly by double-digit volume increases in Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia and Central America, coupled with volume growth in the rest of our territories. Volumes of the recently acquired territory in Brazil were consolidated as of February 1, 2022. On a comparable basis, our volume increased 9.3%.
• Total revenues increased 14.6%, while comparable revenues increased 13.4%, driven mainly by volume growth, pricing initiatives, favorable price-mix effects, and favorable currency translation effects. These factors were partially offset by a decline in beer revenues related to the transition of the beer portfolio in Brazil.
• Operating income increased 16.0%, while comparable operating income increased 13.9%. Our solid top-line, favorable raw material hedging strategies, coupled with operating expense efficiencies, were partially offset by higher PET and sweetener costs.
• Majority net income decreased 8.3%, driven mainly by non-cash effects, a loss in the market value of financial instruments and a foreign exchange loss.
• Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.17 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.38 and per ADS were Ps. 13.77).

¹Quarterly earnings / outstanding shares. Earnings per share (EPS) were calculated using 16,806.7 million 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.
