MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
“Our first quarter results reflected the resiliency of our business and the advantages that a diversified footprint affords. Consolidated volume growth was supported by positive contributions from most of our operations, including strong performances in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala that helped offset a volume decline in Mexico. As expected, we faced a softer consumer backdrop in Mexico compounded by the excise tax increase. Despite these headwinds, we gained share across most of our markets and categories and achieved record volumes for a first quarter in key markets such as Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala. Our consolidated margins remained stable, supported by a strong performance in South America that compensated for pressures in Mexico and Central America. Unfavorable volume and mix impacts from the excise tax increase, severance and IT expenses resulted in a 17.4% drop in operating income in Mexico and Central America which was partially compensated by a 18.8% operating income growth in South America driven by volume growth and fixed costs and expenses absorption, resulting in a consolidated operating income decline of 2.3% for the quarter.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on strengthening our competitive position through targeted revenue management initiatives that support sustainable volume growth over the long term. Throughout 2026, we will also leverage the FIFA World Cup platform across our markets, while continuing to capture efficiencies and savings to protect profitability and prioritize the sustainable long-term growth of our business.”
