FEMSA Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

Monterrey, Mexico, July 28, 2021 — Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (“FEMSA”) (NYSE: FMX; BMV: FEMSAUBD) announced today its operational and financial results for the second quarter of 2021.

HIGHLIGHTS

· Our results in 2Q20 were significantly impacted by COVID-19 and the related changes in consumer mobility and behavior across markets. As we look at our 2Q21 results, the comparison base of 2Q20 is only a partial benchmark. Therefore, to facilitate the reader’s assessment of our business units’ performance in 2Q21, we provide the following table that includes variations versus 2Q19 as well.

⁽¹⁾ variations vs. comparable results

Eduardo Padilla, FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

“One year ago, we were in the eye of the storm. Our focus was on keeping our people and customers safe, preserving our cash, and making sure that we made it through the crisis in the best possible shape. Today, while the health emergency is not over, there is a clear recovery trend across business units and across markets. This improvement is not linear, nor is it the same for every market, but we are in a much better place now than we were last year in every one of our operations, and in some of them we are already above 2019 levels as well.

At OXXO, we are seeing consumers return to the stores as soon as mobility trends improve, and they are filling their needs as they always do, including thirst, hunger, and the occasional treat. And we are seeing some categories that gained momentum during the lockdowns, such as spirits and pantry replenishment, remain strong. Our Health Division continued leveraging its platform, delivering solid results on top of good numbers last year, and OXXO Gas showed great improvement even as we continued to face the headwinds of lower vehicle mobility in Mexico. Our Logistics and Distribution operations continued to see gradual improvement in their markets, although Latin America is reopening more slowly than the United States. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA delivered a very strong set of numbers, reflecting solid performance across markets, and the entire organization driving efficiencies that helped profitability.

Despite the uncertainty of the past twelve months, we remained committed to the long-term efforts that will help us build our future, such as the digital initiatives that already begin to enable new growth avenues across our operations. Those opportunities, combined with the encouraging near-term results we are delivering, make us optimistic about the second half of the year, and beyond. And I take this opportunity to again thank our more than three hundred thousand colleagues for their resilience and unwavering effort.”

Total revenues increased 19.7% in 2Q21 compared to 2Q20, reflecting a recovery in consumption during the second quarter coupled with an undemanding comparison across our business units. On an organic¹ basis, total revenues increased 15.7%.

Gross profit increased 23.7%. Gross margin expanded 130 basis points, mainly driven by expansion at Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity Division, partially offset by a contraction at FEMSA Comercio’s Health and Fuel Divisions.

Income from operations increased 87.4%. On an organic¹ basis, income from operations increased 84.9%, reflecting steady recovery trends across all our business units and an undemanding comparison base in the second quarter of 2020, which reflected COVID-19 pandemic containment measures, including operating and category restrictions. Consolidated operating margin increased 370 basis points to 10.2% of total revenues, reflecting margin expansion across all our business units.

Income tax was Ps. 3,311 million in 2Q21.

Net consolidated income increased to Ps. 5,255 million, driven by: i) higher income from operations across all our business units; and ii) an increase in our participation in associates’ results, which mainly reflects the results of our investment in Heineken. This was partially offset by a non-cash foreign exchange loss related to FEMSA’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position as impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican peso during the quarter.

Net majority income was Ps. 0.86 per FEMSA Unit² and US$0.43 per FEMSA ADS.

Capital expenditures amounted to Ps. 5,172 million, reflecting higher investments at most of our business units.

¹ Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months.

² FEMSA Units consist of FEMSA BD Units and FEMSA B Units. Each FEMSA BD Unit is comprised of one Series B Share, two Series D-B Shares and two Series D-L Shares. Each FEMSA B Unit is comprised of five Series B Shares. The number of FEMSA Units outstanding as of June 30, 2021 was 3,578,226,270, equivalent to the total number of FEMSA Shares outstanding as of the same date, divided by 5.

³ The exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for June 30, 2021 was 19.9060 MXN per USD.

⁴ Includes the effect of derivative financial instruments on long-term debt. Excludes long-term leases.

Total revenues increased 17.1% in 2Q21 compared to 2Q20, reflecting a 15.6% average same-store sales increase, driven by a 7.6% growth in average customer ticket and an increase of 7.4% in store traffic. These figures reflect an undemanding comparison base coupled with improving customer mobility and reduced operating restrictions during the second quarter of 2021. During the quarter, OXXO’s store base expanded by 128 units to reach 276 total net new store openings for the last twelve months. As of June 30, 2021, FEMSA Comercio’s Proximity Division had a total of 19,834 OXXO stores.

Gross profit reached 41.6% of total revenues, reflecting more dynamic commercial income activity and promotional programs with our key supplier partners.

Income from operations amounted to 9.0% of total revenues, driven by higher operating leverage. Operating expenses increased 5.8% to Ps. 16,569 million, below revenues, reflecting cost efficiencies and tight expense control, partially offset by our continuing initiative to gradually shift from commission-based store teams to employee-based teams and an undemanding comparison base in 2Q20 that included extraordinary expenses in connection to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total revenues increased 17.6% in 2Q21 compared to 2Q20, mainly reflecting positive trends in our Mexican, Chilean and Colombian operations, partially offset by a negative currency translation effect related to the depreciation of the Chilean and Colombian pesos relative to the Mexican peso. During the quarter, the Health Division’s store base expanded by 54 units to reach a total of 3,459 points of sale across its territories as of June 30, 2021. This figure reflects the addition of 270 net new store openings for the last twelve months. Same-store sales for drugstores increased an average of 14.9%, reflecting the revenue drivers described above. On a currency-neutral¹ basis, total revenues increased 18.9% while same-store sales increased by 21.6%.

Gross profit represented 29.6% of total revenues, reflecting: i) increased promotional activities in our operations in South America; and ii) higher institutional sales in our operations in Chile and Colombia. These were partially offset by improved efficiency and more effective collaboration and execution with key supplier partners in Mexico.

Income from operations amounted to 5.7% of total revenues, reflecting higher operating leverage. Operating expenses increased 2.5% to Ps. 4,378 million, below revenue growth, reflecting tight expense control and efficiency gains across our operations.

Coca-Cola FEMSA Announces Results for the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2021

Mexico City, July 26, 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 second quarter and the first six months of 2021.

SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

· Consolidated volumes increased 9.1% as compared to the second quarter of 2020 and 1.3% as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was driven by volume growth across all of our territories as a result of solid execution, coupled with economic reopening and increased mobility across our markets.

· Total revenues increased 10.9%, comparable revenues increased 19.2%. This increase was driven mainly by volume growth, coupled with pricing initiatives and favorable price-mix effects. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation. Total revenues remained flat as compared to the same period of 2019.

· Operating income increased 41.3%, while comparable operating income increased 44.1%. This increase was driven mainly by cost and expense efficiencies, coupled with favorable price-mix effects and raw material hedging initiatives. Additionally, we recognized a positive extraordinary effect of Ps. 1,083 million, driven by the resumption of the recognition of tax credits in Brazil related to the Manaus Free Trade Zone. These effects were partially offset by the normalization of certain operating expenses and unfavorable currency hedging positions. Operating income increased 14.4% as compared to the same period of 2019.

· Majority net income increased 56.8%, driven mainly by operating income growth, coupled with a decline in other non-operating expenses related to impairments of Ps. 903 million recognized during the same period of the previous year.

· Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.20 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.58 and per ADS were Ps. 15.79.).

FINANCIAL SUMMARY FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2021

	South America	29.9%	19.6%	55.0%	20.7%	415.3%	58.0%

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

“We are proud that our efforts to accelerate the recovery are reflected in solid second-quarter results and a solid cash flow generation. Our consolidated revenues increased 10.9%, driven by our portfolio and execution initiatives, coupled with recovering mobility and improving price-mix trends. Notably, our Mexico and Central America division delivered double-digit top-line growth, while our South America division’s outstanding volume performance was driven mainly by a solid growth in Brazil, coupled with recovering trends in Colombia, Argentina, and Uruguay. As a result, our consolidated volumes already exceed our 2019 baseline by 1.3%.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

· After conducting a thorough analysis, Coca-Cola FEMSA has decided to reverse its temporary decision to suspend tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone in Brazil as of the second quarter 2021.

This decision was supported by recent developments and opinions from external advisors.

Potential future concentrate price adjustments for sparkling beverages and flavored water in all our territories will consider investment and profitability levels that are mutually beneficial for both parties.

Gross profit	22,560	19,075	18.3%	26.1%
Operating income	7,248	5,130	41.3%	44.1%
Operating cash flow (2)	10,007	8,221	21.7%	27.4%

Volume increased 9.1% to 851.4 million unit cases, driven mainly by double-digit growth in South America, coupled with solid volume recoveries in Mexico and Central America. Consolidated volume increased 1.3% versus our 2019 baseline.

Total revenues increased 10.9% to Ps. 47,786 million, driven mainly by volume, our pricing initiatives and favorable price-mix effects across our markets. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from all of our operating currencies. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 19.2%. Total revenues declined 0.4% versus the same period of 2019.

Gross profit increased 18.3% to Ps. 22,560 million, and gross margin expanded 290 basis points to 47.2%, driven mainly by cost efficiencies, successful raw material hedging initiatives, favorable price-mix effects, and the recognition of Ps. 1,083 million related to the resumption of tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone. These effects were partially offset by an unfavorable currency hedging position and higher concentrate costs in Mexico. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 26.1%. Gross profit increased 2.1% versus the second quarter of 2019.

Operating income increased 41.3% to Ps. 7,248 million, and operating margin expanded 330 basis points to 15.2%. This increase was driven mainly by the increase in gross profit, coupled with operating expense efficiencies. These effects were partially offset by the normalization of certain operating expenses such as marketing, labor, and maintenance related to increases in mobility across our operations. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation effects, our operating income would have increased 44.1%. Our operating income increased 14.4% versus our 2019 baseline.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,323 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,268 million in the same period of 2020. This increase was driven mainly by a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 171 million, as our cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, as compared to the first quarter of the year. In addition, the Company recorded a lower interest income as compared to the same period of the previous year.

These effects were partially offset by a decrease in interest expenses of Ps. 162 million, driven mainly by the payment of short-term financing incurred during the first quarter of 2020, which was a preventive measure to reinforce the Company’s cash position in the face of the uncertainties driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Finally, a gain of Ps. 118 million in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries was recognized as compared to a gain of Ps. 81 million during the same period of 2020.

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 37.9% as compared to 32.6% during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by adjustments to deferred tax reserves, the effects of a higher inflation level, and adjustments in the tax provision.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company reached Ps. 3,316 million as compared to Ps. 2,115 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth, coupled with impairments recognized in other non-operating expenses of Ps. 903 million during the same period of 2020. Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.20 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.58 and per ADS were Ps. 15.79.).

Volume increased 4.9% to 1,652.1 million unit cases in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020, driven mainly by gradual recoveries and increases in mobility across our markets. Consolidated volume increased 0.9% as compared with the same period of 2019.

Total revenues increased 4.7% to Ps. 92,500 million in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020, driven mainly by volume growth, coupled with our pricing initiatives and favorable price-mix effects. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects resulting from the depreciation of all of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased 12.2%. Total revenues declined 2.1% versus the same period of 2019.

Gross profit increased 6.9% to Ps. 42,491 million in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020, and gross margin expanded 90 basis points to 45.9%. Our raw material hedging initiatives, cost efficiencies, favorable price-mix effects, and the recognition of Ps. 1,083 million related to the resumption of tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone were partially offset by an unfavorable currency hedging position, the depreciation in the average exchange rate of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs, and higher concentrate costs in Mexico. On a comparable basis, gross profit would have increased 13.7%. Gross profit declined 1.4% versus 2019.

Operating income increased 21.1% to Ps. 13,147 million in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020, and operating margin expanded 190 basis points to 14.2%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 2,454 million during the first six months of 2021 compared to an expense of Ps. 3,467 million in the same period of 2020.

Interest expense, net, recorded a decrease during the first six months of 2021, driven mainly by a one-time interest expense related to our successful debt refinancing initiatives during the first quarter of 2020, coupled with the payment of short-term financings during the first six months of 2021. These short-term financings were a preventive measure to reinforce the Company’s cash position in the face of the uncertainties driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, we recognized a larger gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries as compared to the same period of 2020.

These effects were partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 156 million, as compared to a gain of Ps. 493 million registered during the same period of 2020, as our cash exposure to U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso.  

Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 36.5% as compared to 31.5% during the first six months of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by tax impacts related to higher inflation in 2021, adjustments of deferred tax assets and effects of certain changes on tax legislation where we operate.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company increased 38.9% to reach Ps. 6,472 million in the first six months of 2020 as compared to Ps. 4,658 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by an increase in operating income, coupled with lower financial costs related to a one-time increase in our interest expense in 2020 and lower non-operative expenses due to impairments of Ps. 903 million recognized during the first six months of 2020. Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.39 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 3.08 and earnings per ADS were Ps. 30.81.).

Total revenues increased 11.7% to Ps. 17,524 million, driven mainly by volume growth across our territories and favorable price-mix effects, partially offset by an unfavorable currency translation effect resulting from the depreciation of all of our operating currencies in the division as compared to the Mexican Peso.

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 “quarterly 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.
