Coca-Cola FEMSA Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Results

 

Mexico City, February 25, 2021, Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOF UBL, 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 fourth quarter and the full year of 2020.

 

FOURTH QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

·Consolidated volumes increased 1.4%, driven mainly by volume growth in Brazil, Central America, Argentina coupled with flat performance in Colombia. These effects were partially offset by a decline in Mexico and Uruguay.
·Total revenues decreased 5.1%, while comparable revenues increased 1.9%. Revenue management and pricing initiatives were offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from our operating currencies in South America, mainly driven by an 18.3% translation effect from the Brazilian Real, coupled with unfavorable price-mix effects.
·Operating income increased 13.4%, while comparable operating income increased 21.9%. Favorable PET prices, coupled with maintenance, marketing, and other operating expense savings, were partially offset by the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs and unfavorable price-mix effects.
·Majority net income increased 59.2%, driven mainly by solid operating results. The same period of 2019 included an extraordinary non-operating expense of Ps. 948 million related to our Estrella Azul dairy joint venture in Panama.

FULL YEAR OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

·For the full year, volumes decreased 2.5%, impacted mainly by the enforcement of lockdowns and social distancing measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by volume growth in Brazil and Guatemala.
·Total revenues decreased 5.6%, while comparable revenues decreased 1.0%, impacted by unfavorable price-mix effects and currency translation headwinds, partially offset by pricing and revenue management initiatives.
·Operating income decreased 0.7%, while comparable operating income increased 4.4%. Lower PET prices and operating expense efficiencies, coupled with our ability to generate savings across our operations, allowed us to effectively mitigate unfavorable price-mix effects, higher concentrate costs, and the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.
·Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.61 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 4.91 and per ADS were Ps. 49.06.).
·Underscoring the Company’s solid financial position and cash flow generation, our cash position increased to Ps. 43,497 million including the payment of the second installment of dividends during early November.

John Santa Maria, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

“During 2020, in the face of the hardship brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to navigate the storm and emerge stronger. Our full year results underscore our resiliency and capability to generate efficiencies as well as our employees’ commitment to serve and satisfy the needs of our customers and consumers. Notably, in addition to these strong operating results, I am pleased that we have redesigned our distribution partnership with Heineken in Brazil. This new agreement realigns the interests of all parties and is built on a solid historical foundation that will allow us to develop a strong portfolio of leading brands to continue satisfying our clients and consumers in the country. Overall, these achievements are testament that we not only addressed the pandemic with operating excellence but also that that we continued to move aggressively on all strategic and digital fronts towards our ambition to become a true total beverage platform.”

·On February 24, 2021, The Coca-Cola Company, the Coca-Cola System in Brazil and HEINEKEN reached an agreement (the “Agreement”) to renew their longstanding distribution partnership in Brazil. As per the Agreement, expected to become effective mid-2021, the parties will begin a smooth transition of the Heineken and Amstel brands to HEINEKEN Brazil’s distribution network. The Coca-Cola System in Brazil will continue to offer Kaiser, Bavaria and Sol, and will complement this portfolio with premium brand Eisenbahn and other international brands. The Agreement allows the parties to better serve consumers and customers in the Brazilian market with a solid portfolio, building on the positive momentum developed over many years of successful collaboration. Additionally, as part of the redesign of the distribution partnership, the parties will have more flexibility. Subject to certain mutually-agreed upon terms established in the Agreement, the Coca-Cola System in Brazil will be able to produce and distribute alcoholic beverages and other beers in a certain proportion to HEINEKEN’s portfolio and HEINEKEN will be able to explore further opportunities in the non-alcoholic segment. This will allow Brazilian consumers to benefit from a wider array of options.

    As Reported   Comparable (1)
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos   4Q 2020 4Q 2019 Δ%   Δ%
Total revenues   49,116 51,735 (5.1%)   1.9%
Gross profit   21,939 22,928 (4.3%)   1.8%
Operating income   7,229 6,373 13.4%   21.9%
Operating cash flow (2)    9,998  9,391 6.5%   13.1%

 

Volume increased 1.4% to 902.2 million unit cases, driven mainly by increased volume in Brazil, Guatemala, and Argentina. This increase was partially offset by volume declines in Mexico and Uruguay.

 

Total revenues decreased 5.1% to Ps. 49,116 million. Our revenues were impacted mainly by a negative translation effects resulting from the depreciation of most of our operating currencies in South America as compared to the Mexican Peso, coupled with an unfavorable price-mix effect. These factors were partially offset by volume growth in Brazil, Guatemala, and Argentina, coupled with pricing and revenue management initiatives across our territories. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 1.9%.

 

Gross profit decreased 4.3% to Ps. 21,939 million, and gross margin expanded 40 basis points to 44.7%. Our cost saving initiatives, lower PET prices, and currency hedging strategies were partially offset by i) the depreciation in the average exchange rate of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs; (ii) unfavorable price-mix effects; and iii) higher concentrate costs in Mexico. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 1.8%.

 

Operating income increased 13.4% to Ps. 7,229 million, and operating margin expanded 130 basis points to 14.7%. This increase was driven mainly by labor, maintenance, and marketing operating expense efficiencies across our operations. In addition, the same period of the previous year included restructuring severance payments related to our Fuel for Growth efficiency program. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 21.9%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,777 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,507 million in the same period of 2019.

This quarter, the Company had a flat interest expense, net, as compared to the same period of 2019, as a reduction in interest expenses was offset by a reduction in interest income. The decrease in interest expenses was driven mainly by the payment of the promissory note related to the acquisition of Vonpar in 2017, coupled with the prepayment of our U.S. dollar-denominated bond due 2023, partially offset by new short-term financing incurred during the first quarter of 2020, as a preventive measure to reinforce the Company’s cash position. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of Ps. 123 million in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries as compared to a gain of Ps. 139 million during the same period of 2019. These effects were partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 346 million, driven mainly by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated cash position.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 36.3% as compared to 43.6% during the same period of the previous year. The tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 was driven mainly by an increase in deferred taxes, while for the same period of 2019, it was driven mainly by the effect of extraordinary non-operating expenses and impairments recognized during the quarter.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company reached Ps. 3,177 million as compared to Ps. 1,995 million during the same period of the previous year, driven mainly by solid operating results. Additionally, during the same period of 2019, we recorded an extraordinary non-operating expense of Ps. 948 million in Estrella Azul, our former dairy joint venture in Panama. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.19 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.51, and earnings per ADS were Ps. 15.12.).

Total revenues   183,615 194,472 (5.6%)   (1.0%)
Gross profit   82,811 87,508 (5.4%)   (1.3%)
Operating income   25,243 25,423 (0.7%)   4.4%

Volume decreased 2.5% to 3,284.4 million unit cases in the full year of 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019, impacted mainly by the enforcement of lockdowns and social distancing measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by volume growth in Brazil and Guatemala.

 

Total revenues decreased 5.6% to Ps. 183,615 million in the full year of 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This figure includes extraordinary other operating revenues related to an entitlement to reclaim tax payments in Brazil during the third quarter. Total revenues were impacted mainly by unfavorable price-mix and currency translation effects resulting from the depreciation of all of our operating currencies in South America into Mexican Pesos, mainly driven by a 14.5% unfavorable translation effect from the Brazilian Real. These factors were partially offset by pricing and revenue management initiatives. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation effects, total revenues would have only decreased 1.0%.

 

Gross profit decreased 5.4% to Ps. 82,811 million in the full year of 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019, and gross margin expanded 10 basis points to 45.1%.

On a comparable basis, gross profit would have decreased 1.3%.

Labor, maintenance, and marketing expense efficiencies, coupled with tax reclaims in Brazil, were offset mainly by a gross profit decline. In addition, the same period of the previous year included restructuring severance payments related to our Fuel for Growth efficiency program. On a comparable basis, operating income would have increased 4.4%.

 

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 6,678 million during the full year of 2020 compared to an expense of Ps. 6,071 million in the same period of 2019.

Interest expense, net, recorded an increase during the year, driven mainly by a one-time interest expense related to the prepayment of our U.S. dollar-denominated bond due 2023, as well as our successful debt refinancing initiatives performed during the first quarter. In addition, the Company incurred short-term financing, as a preventive measure to reinforce the Company’s cash position. These effects were partially offset by debt prepayments.

This increase was partially offset by a gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 376 million. Additionally, the Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 4 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 330 million during 2019.

 

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 33.8% as compared to 30.9% for the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by impairments of approximately Ps. 2.4 billion recognized during the period and an increase in deferred taxes.

Operating cash flow (2)    6,612  5,502 20.2%   19.2%

 

 

Volume decreased 2.4% to 495.0 million unit cases, driven mainly by a volume decline in Mexico as a result of mobility restrictions and social distancing measures related to the COVID-19 outbreak. This decline was partially offset by volume growth in Guatemala.

 

Total revenues decreased 0.7% to Ps. 27,073 million, driven mainly by a volume decline in Mexico, coupled with unfavorable price-mix effects across our markets. This decrease was partially offset by pricing and revenue management initiatives, and a favorable currency translation effect from our operating currencies in Central America as translated into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have decreased 1.5%.

 

Gross profit increased 4.7% to Ps. 13,670 million, and gross margin expanded 260 basis points to 50.5%, driven mainly by our pricing initiatives, cost efficiencies, and lower PET costs, coupled with our raw material and currency hedging strategies. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable price-mix effects, higher concentrate costs in Mexico, and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 3.9%.

 

Operating income increased 40.6% to Ps. 4,956 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, and operating margin expanded 540 basis points to 18.3% during the period, driven mainly by our ability to drive savings and operating expense efficiencies primarily in labor, maintenance, and marketing expenses in Mexico.

Gross profit   8,269 9,878 (16.3%)   (1.5%)
Operating income   2,273 2,848 (20.2%)   (4.2%)
Operating cash flow (2)    3,385  3,889 (13.0%)   2.9%

 

 

 

Volume increased 6.4% to 407.2 million unit cases, driven by sequential improvements across most of the division. Volume was strong with 7.8% growth in Brazil and 11.6% volume growth in Argentina, partially offset by a 0.9% volume decline in Uruguay and stable performance in Colombia.

 

Total revenues decreased 10.0% to Ps. 22,043 million. Revenues were impacted mainly by unfavorable price-mix and currency translation effects resulting from the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as compared to the Mexican Peso, mainly driven by a 14.5% unfavorable translation effect from the Brazilian Real. These effects were partially offset by volume growth in Brazil and Argentina and our revenue management initiatives. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation effects, total revenues would have increased 6.5%.

 

Gross profit decreased 16.3% to Ps. 8,269 million, and gross margin contracted 280 basis points to 37.5%. This decrease was driven mainly by an unfavorable price-mix effect and the depreciation of the average exchange rate of all our operating currencies in the division as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. These effects were partially offset by lower PET costs and our revenue management initiatives. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have decreased 1.5%.

 

Operating income decreased 20.2% to Ps. 2,273 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in a margin contraction of 130 basis points to 10.3%. This decrease was driven mainly by an unfavorable price-mix effect, coupled with an operating foreign exchange loss. These factors were partially offset by operating expense efficiencies. On a comparable basis, operating income would have decreased 4.2%.

DEFINITIONS

Volume is expressed in unit cases. Unit case refers to 192 ounces of finished beverage product (24 eight-ounce servings) and, when applied to soda fountains, refers to the volume of syrup, powders, and concentrate that is required to produce 192 ounces of finished beverage product.

 

Transactions refers to the number of single units (e.g., a can or a bottle) sold, regardless of their size or volume or whether they are sold individually or in multipacks, except for soda fountains, which represent multiple transactions based on a standard 12 oz. serving.

 

Operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure computed as “gross profit – operating expenses – other operating expenses, net + operative equity method (gain) loss in associates.”

 

Operating cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure computed as “operating income + depreciation + amortization & other operating non-cash charges.”

 

Earnings per share are equal to “Earnings / outstanding shares.” Earnings per share (EPS) for all periods are adjusted to give effect to the stock split resulting in 16,806,658,096 shares outstanding. For the convenience of the reader, as each KOF UBL 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 KOF UBL Units.

 

 

 

COMPARABILITY

In an effort to provide our readers with a more useful representation of our company's underlying financial and operating performance, as of the first quarter 2020, we adjusted our methodology to calculate our comparable figures, no longer excluding hyperinflationary operations. Due to this change, our “comparable” term means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change of a given measure excluding the effects of: (i) mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; and (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements. In preparing this measure, management has used its best judgment, estimates, and assumptions in order to maintain comparability.
