Coca-Cola FEMSA Announces First Quarter 2020 Results

Mexico City, April 29, 2020, 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 first quarter of 2020.

FIRST QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

· Consolidated volumes remained flat, as a slight contraction in Mexico and volume declines in Brazil and Uruguay were offset by volume growth in Argentina, Central America, and Colombia.

· Total revenues decreased 1.9%, while comparable revenues grew 3.6%. Our pricing initiatives were offset mainly by unfavorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies into Mexican Pesos.

· Operating income remained flat, while comparable operating income increased 6.3%. Declining raw material costs, coupled with operating expenses efficiencies and tax reclaims in Brazil, were offset mainly by higher concentrate costs, and the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

· Majority net income decreased 1.5%, driven mainly by a one-time expense due to the prepayment of our 2023 U.S. dollar denominated bond, related to our successful debt refinancing initiatives completed during the quarter.

· Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.15 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.21 and per ADS were Ps. 12.15.).

FINANCIAL SUMMARY FOR THE FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Change vs. same period of last year
		Total Revenues	Gross Profit	Operating Income	Majority Net Income
		1Q20	1Q20	1Q20	1Q20
As Reported	Consolidated	(1.9%)	(0.9%)	0.3%	(1.5%)

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

“During the first quarter, we successfully navigated currency headwinds and the initial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver positive results. Excluding currency translation effects, our comparable revenues grew 3.6%, while our comparable operating income grew 6.3%, reflecting our positive underlying operating performance and our ability to drive cost and expense efficiencies. Importantly, recognizing the rapidly changing environment, we developed a comprehensive framework focused on deploying actions to ensure the continuity of our business, putting the safety and wellbeing of our employees as a paramount priority. Accordingly, we are listening and reacting to the needs of our customers, consumers, and the communities we serve. Following our conservative profile, we took measures to further strenghten our balance sheet, succesfully refinancing debt and taking on short-term credits to strengthen our cash position, all while implementing additional control measures on our costs, expenses, and CAPEX.

I am proud of the level of collaboration and resilience that we demonstrate as an organization. Coca-Cola FEMSA has faced crises before, and has been able to adapt and capitalize on dynamic environments. I am confident that the pressures we face will be temporary and that the measures we are taking will position us for success in the long-term.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

COVID-19 Outbreak

· During the first quarter of 2020, the Company developed a comprehensive management framework designed to guide its mitigation actions across five key areas: collaborators, clients, consumers, community, and cash flow.

o Collaborators: Ensuring employees’ safety and wellbeing is of utmost importance. Examples of the Company’s additional measures include implementing reinforced health, sanitation, and hygiene protocols across its facilities and providing additional protective equipment such as masks, gloves, and sanitizing gels.

o Clients:The Company is helping its clients to remain open for business in a safe way. Among its initiatives, the Company is leveraging its digital capabilities such as multichannel order taking via B2B platforms, contact centers, and WhatsApp. In addition, the Company’s preventive measures include donating protective screens for its clients’ counters. 

o Consumers: Consumers are at the center of the Company’s DNA. Accordingly, its mitigation actions include leveraging its affordability portfolio across key markets and channels, as well as reinforcing its presence in digital and direct to home channels.

o Communities: As a social response to the current situation, the Company is donating beverages to health centers, transporting health supplies, contributing to the construction of alternative health centers, and acquiring medical equipment, among other community relief initiatives.

o Cash Flow:Coca-Cola FEMSA´s liquidity position is robust and has a strong balance sheet, nonetheless, consistent with its financial discipline, the Company is implementing measures to further strengthen its balance sheet and protect its cash flow by prioritizing or deferring CAPEX investments and rationalizing expenses.

· The Company is confident that it has the resilient profile, solid cash position, balance sheet, and operational prowess to navigate this challenging environment.

Other Recent Developments

· As was previously disclosed, in January 2020, Coca-Cola FEMSA issued US$1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2030. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2030 notes were used to repurchase and redeem its 3.875% senior notes due 2023 and for general corporate purposes.  This resulted in the one-time expense due to the prepayment of our U.S. dollar denominated bond due 2023 and related to our successful debt refinancing initiatives completed during the quarter. In addition, in February 2020, the Company announced the successful placement of two tranches of Mexican Peso-denominated bonds or certificados bursátiles in the Mexican market for an aggregate amount of Ps. 3,000 million for 8 years and for an aggregate amount of Ps. 1,727 million for 5.5 years.

· In addition to the previously mentioned transactions, the Company incurred in short-term financing for Ps. 11,143 million as a preventive measure to reinforce its cash position. As of 31 March 2020, the Company had a cash position of more than Ps. 39 billion. 

· Similar to what it was reported for the third quarter of 2019, following a favorable decision from Brazilian authorities on a separate matter, Coca-Cola FEMSA has been entitled to reclaim tax payments made in prior years in Brazil, resulting in an extraordinary positive effect on its first-quarter 2020 results, affecting mainly other operating revenues and other operating expenses, net. The total net amount of extraordinary tax effects in Brazil, including our conservative approach to not credit IPI related to concentrate purchases in Brazil, in the operating income is Ps. 78 million for the period.

· In an effort to provide readers with a more useful representation of the Company's underlying financial and operating performance, as of the first quarter 2020, the Company adjusted its methodology to calculate comparable figures, no longer excluding hyperinflationary operations. Due to this change, the term “comparable” 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.

This dividend payment represents a 37% increase compared to the previous year’s dividend.

CONSOLIDATED FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

 

CONSOLIDATED FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
	As Reported			Comparable (1)
Expressed in millions of Mexican pesos	1Q 2020	1Q 2019	Δ%	Δ%
Total revenues	45,348	46,248	(1.9%)	3.6%
Gross profit	20,714	20,892	(0.9%)	4.4%
Operating income	5,729	5,714	0.3%	6.3%
Operating cash flow (2)	9,086	8,541	6.4%	12.2%

Volume decreased 0.3% to 793.5 million unit cases, driven mainly by volume declines in Brazil and Uruguay and a slight volume contraction in Mexico, partially offset by volume growth in Argentina, Central America, and Colombia.

Total revenues decreased 1.9% to Ps. 45,348 million. This figure includes extraordinary other operating revenues related to an entitlement to reclaim tax payments in Brazil. Our decline in revenues was driven mainly by the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as compared to the Mexican Peso, an effect that was partially offset by price initiatives in key markets. On a comparable basis, total revenues increased 3.6%.

Gross profit decreased 0.9% to Ps. 20,714 million, and gross margin increased 50 basis points to 45.7%. Our gross margin expansion was driven mainly by lower PET costs and a favorable raw material hedging position. These effects were partially offset by higher concentrate costs 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 increased 4.4%.

Operating income remained flat at Ps. 5,729 million, and operating margin increased 20 basis points to 12.6%. This result was driven mainly by operating expense efficiencies and tax reclaims in Brazil. On a comparable basis, operating income increased 6.3%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 2,196 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,593 million in the same period of 2019. This increase was driven mainly by a one-time interest expense due to the prepayment of our U.S. dollar denominated bond due 2023 related to our successful debt refinancing initiatives performed during the quarter. In particular, we tender offer and make whole a total of US$900 million of a Yankee bond maturing in 2023. This effect was partially offset by a foreign exchange gain, as our cash exposure to U.S. dollars was positively impacted by the depreciation of the Mexican Peso. In addition, we recognized a larger gain in monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries.

Income tax asa percentage of income before taxes was 30.6% as compared to 32.7% during the same period of the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by the increase in the relative weight of Mexico’s profits in our consolidated results, which has a lower tax rate, partially offset by an increase generated by the valuation of certain financial instruments related to our hedging strategies.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 2,552 million as compared to Ps. 2,590 million during the same period of the previous year. This decline was driven mainly by a one-time expense of Ps. 1,475 million impacting our interest expense, due to the prepayment of our U.S. dollar denominated bond due 2023. This prepayment is related to our successful debt refinancing initiatives completed during the quarter. Earnings per share¹ were Ps. 0.15 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 1.21 and per ADS were Ps. 12.15.).

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 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

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.
