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.”

MENSAJE DEL DIRECTOR GENERAL
“Los resultados de nuestro primer trimestre reflejaron la resiliencia de nuestro negocio y las ventajas que ofrece la diversificación geográfica. El crecimiento de volumen consolidado fue impulsado por la mayoría de nuestras operaciones, incluyendo sólido desempeño en Argentina, Brasil, Colombia y Guatemala, que ayudaron a compensar una caída de volumen en México. Como se anticipaba, afrontamos un entorno de consumo más débil en México, presionado a su vez por el incremento del impuesto IEPS. A su vez, ganamos participación en la mayoría de nuestros mercados y categorías, y alcanzamos volúmenes récord para un primer trimestre en mercados clave como Brasil, Colombia y Guatemala. Nuestros márgenes consolidados se mantuvieron estables, respaldados por un sólido desempeño en Sudamérica que compensó las presiones en México y Centroamérica. En particular, menores volúmenes en México, una mezcla desfavorable, así como gastos por indemnizaciones y en TI, resultaron en una caída de 17.4% en la utilidad operativa en México y Centroamérica, lo cual fue parcialmente compensado por un crecimiento de 18.8% en la utilidad operativa en Sudamérica, impulsada por el crecimiento de volumen y la absorción de costos y gastos fijos, resultando en una disminución de 2.3% en la utilidad operativa consolidada para el trimestre.
Hacia adelante, mantenemos el enfoque en fortalecer nuestra posición competitiva mediante iniciativas de gestión de ingresos que apoyen un crecimiento de volumen sostenible en el largo plazo. A lo largo de 2026, también aprovecharemos la plataforma que nos provee la Copa Mundial de la FIFA en nuestros mercados, al mismo tiempo que continuamos capturando eficiencias y ahorros para proteger la rentabilidad y priorizar el crecimiento sostenible de largo plazo de nuestro negocio.”
