Coca-Cola FEMSA Announces Second Quarter and First Six Months 2022 Results

Mexico City, July 25, 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 second quarter and the first six months of 2022.

SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Consolidated volumes increased 11.9% as compared to the second quarter of 2021. This increase was driven mainly by double-digit volume increases in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Central America, coupled with volume growth in the rest of our territories. On a comparable basis, our volume increased 11.0%.
• Total revenues increased 19.9%, while comparable revenues increased 16.4%, driven mainly by volume growth, pricing initiatives, favorable price-mix effects, and favorable currency translation effects as a result of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real. These factors were partially offset by a decline in beer revenues related to the transition of the beer portfolio in Brazil.
• Operating income increased 5.6%, while comparable operating income increased 1.8%. Our raw material hedging strategies and operating expense efficiencies were partially offset by (i) a tough comparison base that includes the recognition of an extraordinary Ps. 1,083 million during the second quarter of 2021, related to credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone in Brazil; and (ii) higher PET and sweetener costs.
• Majority net income increased 39.5%, driven mainly by a decrease in our comprehensive financing result, related to a gain in the market value of financial instruments, a decrease in interest expense, net and a foreign exchange gain.
• Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.28 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 2.20 and per ADS were Ps. 22.02.)
•  

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.
