José Antonio Fernandez Carbajal, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Our results for the fourth quarter were strong, but less uniform across business units than what we saw earlier in the year. Revenues were robust, even as we cycled tough comparison bases at certain business units. However, on the expense side we felt more directly the cumulative effect from increased labor costs in Mexico, as well as some business- and country-specific situations that impacted our profitability.
Proximity Americas increased revenues by more than 14%, driven by high-single-digit comparable sales at OXXO and reflecting an accelerated store expansion, while we continued to see healthy growth trends in South America and across formats. In Europe, Valora achieved a strong operating result with substantial growth in a challenging macro environment. FEMSA Health delivered stable revenues, but a deteriorating dynamic in the institutional business in Colombia hurt our profitability. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA again delivered strong results across its income statement, while Digital@FEMSA continued to add users at a brisk pace.
On the strategic front, we recently provided incremental information regarding our capital allocation framework, and we stand ready to begin executing the plan in order to reach our stated leverage objective within two to three years.
In short, we wrapped up a unique year that was transformational on the strategic front, with remarkable results resulting from our FEMSA Forward strategy. Today, we are a leaner, more focused company, ideally positioned to pursue and capture the most compelling opportunity set we have ever had before us. Once again, I thank the entire FEMSA team for their excellent work, as we get ready to write another exciting chapter.”

Gross profit increased 15.7%. Gross margin decreased 70 basis points to 39.8% of total revenues, reflecting a gross margin contraction at Fuel, as well as the consolidation of Proximity Europe.

Our consolidated operating margin decreased 220 basis points to 8.5% of total revenues, reflecting margin expansion at Coca-Cola FEMSA, flat margin in Fuel, offset by margin contractions at Proximity Americas, and Health, as well as by the consolidation of Proximity Europe.

Net majority income per FEMSA Unit4 was Ps.18.55 (US$10.98 per ADS).

| · | On February 15, 2024, FEMSA provided additional information regarding its future capital allocation plans. These plans have been approved by the Board of Directors of FEMSA and are an integral part of, and fully consistent with, the FEMSA Forward strategy presented in February of 2023. |
FEMSA´s capital allocation strategy is focused on driving the long-term intrinsic per-share value. FEMSA believes they have abundant attractive capital deployment opportunities. Over the next five years they expect to invest capital in core organic growth initiatives in excess of Ps. 237,000 million, with close to Ps. 170,000 million of that deployed in Mexico, where they are one of the largest employers (over 280,000 employees), and taxpayers, expecting to pay over Ps. 100,000 million in aggregate income taxes for the period between fiscal 2023 and 2028. Considering the remarkable speed and success with which the FEMSA Forward-related divestments have been executed, and after accounting for expected organic and inorganic capital needs, FEMSA believes that returning capital to shareholders should be an important part of the overall strategy.
FEMSA look at the portfolio of investment opportunities available, privileging organic investments within their proven business models that can generate returns well in excess of cost of capital, and with a relatively low level of risk. Also favoring investments in initiatives and capabilities with attractive risk-reward profiles that create and drive, through market expansion and innovation, future value creation opportunities. In addition, inorganic investments will be focused on meeting the strategic objectives of core verticals and scrutinized to meet strict financial criteria: value creation and cash flow generation.
Furthermore, subject to business performance and capital deployment opportunities and beyond the ordinary dividend, FEMSA will endeavor to return to shareholders an aggregate amount equivalent to approximately six percent of FEMSA’s current public market value over the next two to three years, through a combination of additional dividends and share buybacks. This capital return framework will have the overarching tenet of not maintaining idle capital on the balance sheet, and maximizing per-share value accretion as they strive to reach and maintain a 2x Net Debt/EBITDA ex-KOF objective.
FEMSA expects to use a combination of dividends and a multi-year share buyback program to return capital to its shareholders in 2024 and beyond. To this end, the Board of Directors has approved to submit to the 2024 Annual Shareholders Meeting the following proposals: i) Increase ordinary dividends by approximately 20% compared to 2023 on an aggregate basis by paying four quarterly installments of Ps. 0.9161 per FEMSAUB unit and Ps. 1.0993 per FEMSAUBD unit (Ps. 10.9931 per ADS); ii) pay an additional dividend in four quarterly installments of Ps. 0.6418 per FEMSAUB unit and Ps. 0.7701 per FEMSAUBD unit (Ps. 7.7010 per ADS), over and above the approved ordinary dividends, to be disbursed on the same dates as the ordinary dividends; and iii) double maximum share buyback capacity from the currently existing authorization.
Consistent with the plans described above, FEMSA intends to utilize a mix of the share buyback program and additional dividends as needed. Intending to continue to use these mechanisms in the medium term, focused on per-share value accretion and maintaining our stated leverage objective.
| · | On February 23, 2023, FEMSA announced that, as part of its commitment to the FEMSA Forward strategy, it is implementing changes in its corporate organization. |
Consistent with the FEMSA Forward strategy, each of the three core business verticals will continue strengthening their already robust teams to ensure they capture the significant growth opportunities ahead of them. Their size and complexity require a strong team, dedicated to the execution of their strategies, and the achievement of their business objectives. FEMSA corporate organization will focus on setting the overall strategic direction and providing guidance and support for the core businesses, including all major strategic, financial, and capital market-related matters.
In this context, and having largely concluded the transformational transactions stemming from FEMSA Forward, FEMSA announces two changes in FEMSA’s senior leadership team.
February 23, 2024 | Page 11
Francisco Camacho Beltrán, FEMSA’s Chief Corporate Officer, has decided to complete his cycle at the Company and pursue new professional challenges, stepping down from his role effective April 30, 2024. Since joining the Company in 2020, Francisco successfully led most of the corporate functions of FEMSA, while also playing a pivotal role in defining FEMSA’s Strategic Priorities Framework, ensuring its alignment with the new FEMSA Forward strategy, and coordinating the development of the current long-range plans of FEMSA and its business units. He leaves the Company with a clear roadmap for sustained growth, and in an enviable position to meet all the ambitious goals that the Company has set in its sustainability efforts.
Eugenio Garza y Garza, FEMSA’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has also decided to finish his cycle at the Company and step down as CFO effective April 30, 2024. Since joining FEMSA in 2018, Eugenio has played an instrumental role in the strategic and corporate development of FEMSA, including the design and implementation of the FEMSA Forward strategy in record time, the successful divestment of FEMSA’s stake in Heineken, JRD, and Envoy, as well as numerous other benchmark-setting M&A and capital market transactions. His leadership, financial acumen, and strategic vision have been key to the continued success and financial strength of FEMSA and its Business Units.
Martin Arias Yaniz has been appointed Chief Financial Officer, effective April 30, 2024. Martin has been an integral part of FEMSA’s finance and strategy team for 25 years. He began working with FEMSA in 1999 as a strategic advisor before formally joining FEMSA in 2003, occupying different leadership positions in the Corporate Development, Strategic Planning, and Treasury teams at both Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA. From 2014 until 2019, he was FEMSA’s Director of Strategic Planning and Corporate Development. Since his departure from this role, Martin has continued as a close and trusted advisor of the Company for strategic projects, including FEMSA Forward and the implementation of its related transactions. He will serve as FEMSA’s CFO on an interim basis, and FEMSA will conduct a thorough search process to appoint a permanent replacement in due course. FEMSA’s CFO will report to José Antonio Fernández Carbajal, FEMSA’s Executive Chairman and CEO.
Martin will work closely with Francisco and Eugenio over the next two months to facilitate a seamless handover. In addition, during this period, Eugenio will launch the implementation of the capital allocation elements of the FEMSA Forward strategy that was announced on February 15, transitioning to Martin in due course to ensure its continued success. Following his departure from the CFO position, Eugenio will remain working with FEMSA in an advisory role for key strategic projects.

Volume increased 6.1% to 1,056.2 million unit cases, driven by volume growth in most of our territories, including a solid performance in Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia, partially offset by a slight decrease in Argentina and Uruguay. Excluding the acquisition of the Cristal bulk water business in Mexico, total volume would have increased 5.1%.
Total revenues increased 8.0% to Ps. 66,078 million. This increase was driven mainly by volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 15.7%.
Gross profit increased 12.6% to Ps. 30,475 million, and gross margin increased 190 basis points to 46.1%. This expansion was driven mainly by our top-line growth, easing packaging costs, and the appreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. These effects were partially offset by higher sweetener costs across our territories. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 21.3%.
Operating income increased 7.3% to Ps. 9,674 million, and operating margin decreased 10 basis points to 14.6%. This margin decrease was driven mainly by an increase in expenses such as labor, marketing, and maintenance. In addition, the Company incurred temporary expenses mostly related to the shipment of finished product to Acapulco as a result of hurricane Otis. These effects were partially offset by a solid top-line performance, easing packaging costs, and the appreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar- denominated raw material costs. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 15.3%

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,285 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,092 million in the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by a lower gain in monetary positions in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 4 million, as compared to a gain of Ps. 128 million during the same period of the previous year.
Additionally, we recorded an increase in our interest expense, net, driven mainly by a decrease of Ps. 92 million in our interest income mainly related to the depreciation of the Argentine Peso. Finally, we registered a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 317 million as compared to Ps. 281 million during the same period of the previous year as our net cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and other operating currencies as compared to the previous quarter.
These effects were partially offset by a (i) higher gain in financial instruments of Ps. 90 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 72 million during the previous year, driven mainly by a decrease in interest rates in Brazil; and (ii) a lower interest expense related to the maturity of a Mexican Peso denominated bond.
Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 33.8% as compared to 7.7%. This increase was driven mainly by deferred taxes recognized during the same period of the previous year that resulted in a lower effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 5,392 million as compared to Ps. 7,144 million during the same period of the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by the normalization of our effective tax rate as compared to the same period of the previous year, coupled with an increase in our comprehensive financing result. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.32 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 2.57 and per ADS were Ps. 25.67.). Normalizing the base effect of a lower effective tax rate during the same period of the previous year, net income attributable to equity holders of the company increased 8.6%.

Volume increased 7.8% to 4,047.8 million unit cases, driven by volume growth in all of our territories, including a strong performance in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala. Excluding the acquisition of the Cristal bulk water business in Mexico, total volume would have increased 6.1%.
Total revenues increased 8.1% to Ps. 245,088 million driven by volume growth, revenue management initiatives, and favorable mix effects. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 18.0%.
Gross profit increased 10.5% to Ps. 110,860 million, and gross margin increased 100 basis points to 45.2%. This gross profit increase was driven mainly by our top-line growth, easing packaging costs, and favorable raw material hedging initiatives. These effects were partially offset by higher sweetener costs across our territories. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 20.5%.
Operating income increased 10.8% to Ps. 34,180 million, and operating margin increased 30 basis points to 13.9%. This growth was driven mainly by a solid top-line performance and an operating foreign exchange gain in Mexico as a result of the appreciation of the Mexican Peso. These effects were partially offset by an increase in raw material costs, mainly sweeteners, coupled with an increase in operating expenses such as labor, marketing, and maintenance. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 19.4%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 4,697 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 4,549 million in the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by a higher foreign exchange loss of Ps. 1,046 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 324 million during the same period of the previous year, as our net cash exposure in U.S. dollars was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso. In addition, we recorded a gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 93 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 536 million during the same period of the previous year.
These effects were partially offset by a gain in financial instruments of Ps. 169 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 672 million during the same period of the previous year. This was driven mainly by a market value loss recorded during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by a market value gain recognized during the second quarter of 2022. In accordance with IFRS 9, as of the second quarter of 2022, we are recognizing the hedging gain or loss on the debt instrument that is being hedged using interest rate derivatives.
In addition, we recorded a decrease in our interest expense, net of 4.3% mainly as a result of a gain in our interest income that was driven by an increase in interest rates.
Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 30.5% as compared to 25.4%. This increase was driven mainly by deferred taxes recognized during the same period of the previous year that resulted in a lower effective tax rate.
Net income attributable to equity holders of the company increased 2.6% to reach Ps. 19,536 million as compared to Ps. 19,034 million during the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by operating income growth, partially offset by an increase in income tax. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 1.16 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 9.30 and per ADS were Ps. 92.99.).
| (1) | Quarterly 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. |

Volume increased 6.0% driven mainly by solid growth in Mexico and Guatemala. These volumes include the integration of the Cristal bulk water business; excluding this effect, volume would have increased 4.2% in the division and 3.1% in Mexico.
Total revenues increased 11.3% to Ps. 37,622 million, driven mainly by volume growth and revenue management initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies in Central America. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 13.1%.
Gross profit increased 17.5% to Ps. 18,422 million, and gross margin expanded 260 basis points to 49.0%. This margin expansion was driven mainly by our top-line growth, easing packaging costs, and the appreciation of the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. These effects were partially offset by an increase in sweeteners costs. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 19.4%.
Operating income increased 7.8% to Ps. 5,618 million, and operating margin contracted 50 basis points to 14.9%, driven mainly by an increase in operating expenses such as labor, maintenance, and marketing. In addition, the Company incurred temporary expenses mostly related to the shipment of finished product to Acapulco as a result of hurricane Otis. This impact was mostly limited to the fourth quarter, as our production facility in Guerrero is now operating normally. These effects were partially offset by our top-line and gross profit growth. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 10.0%.

Volume increased 6.2%, driven by growth in Brazil and Colombia, partially offset by a slight decrease in Argentina and Uruguay.
Total revenues increased 3.8% to Ps. 28,456 million. This increase was driven mainly by volume growth, offset by unfavorable currency translation effects of most of our operating currencies in the division into Mexican Pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 19.5%.
Gross profit increased 5.8% to Ps. 12,054 million, and gross margin expanded 90 basis points to 42.4%. This increase was driven mainly by our top-line growth, easing packaging costs, and the appreciation of most of our operating currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar. These effects were partially offset by increases in sweeteners and the depreciation of the Argentine Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 24.3%.
Operating income increased 6.7% to Ps. 4,056 million, resulting in an operating margin expansion of 40 basis points to 14.3%. This increase was driven mainly by operating expense efficiencies.

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.”
Adjusted EBITDA 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 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.
COMPARABILITY
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, in this case the acquisition of CVI in Brazil, integrated as of February 2022; 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.
