Consolidated Results


CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Our consolidated revenues increased 7.9% to Ps. 12,765 million in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of increases in all of our territories with the exception of Argentina. Over 80% of our revenues growth came from Mexico and Brazil. Consolidated average price per unit excluding beer increased slightly to Ps. 26.90 in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to Ps. 26.79 the same period of the previous year, driven by average price per unit increases in Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil

Total sales volume excluding beer grew 6.4% to 466.0 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005, mainly driven by sales volume growth in Mexico and Brazil. Carbonated soft drinks (CSD) sales volume grew 5.4% to 394.2 million unit cases, driven by incremental volume across all our territories.

Our gross profit rose 7.5% to Ps. 6,123 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of 2005; Mexico and Brazil represented the majority of our growth. Gross margin declined slightly to 48.0% in the first quarter of 2006 from 48.2% in the same period of 2005, due to cost pressures in all of our territories with the exception of Mexico and Argentina.

Our consolidated operating income rose 7.9% to Ps. 1,936 million in the first quarter of 2006, driven by operating income growth in Mexico, Brazil and Colombia. Our operating margin remained stable at 15.2% in the first quarter of 2006 as compared with the same period of 2005.

During the first quarter of 2006, our integral cost of financing increased to Ps. 479 million from Ps. 304 million in the same period of 2005, mainly driven by foreign exchange loss resulting from the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar as applied to our US dollar net liability position.

During the first quarter of 2006, income tax, tax on assets and employee profit sharing as a percentage of income before taxes was 36.0%, a decrease of 920 basis points compared with the same period of the previous year. The effective tax rate in 2005 was affected by a one-time payment in Mexico due to a revision made by the tax authorities of payments made during 2004 in connection with a change of criteria that required coolers to be treated as fixed assets with finite useful lives.

Our consolidated majority net income was Ps. 909 million in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 26.1% compared to the same period of 2005, mainly due to the above mentioned one-time tax charge to income during 2005. Earnings per share (“EPS”) were Ps. 0.49 (US$ 0.45 per ADR) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADR represents 10 local shares). Excluding the one-time payment in the amount of Ps. 122 million related to a change of criteria that required that coolers be treated as fixed assets with finite useful lives during 2005, net income would have increased by 7.8% .

Mexican Operating Results

MEXICAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Total revenues from our Mexican territories increased 7.1% to Ps. 6,769 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of the previous year, driven by sales volume growth. Average price per unit case declined 1.0% to Ps. 27.34 (US$ 2.51) during the first quarter of 2006, driven by strong volume growth from jug water and Mundet and Fanta Multi-flavors, which carry a lower price per unit case. Excluding Ciel water volume in 5.0, 19.0 and 20.0 -liter packaging presentations, our average price per unit case was Ps. 31.65 (US$ 2.90), a decrease of 0.7% in the first quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005.

Total sales volume increased 8.0% to 246.0 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the first quarter of 2005. The increases in carbonated soft drinks and jug water sales volume represented over 70% and nearly 20% of our incremental sales volume, respectively. Carbonated soft drinks sales volume grew 7.2% compared with the same period of the previous year, the Coca-Cola brand represented approximately 60% of this growth and Mundet and Fanta Multiflavors accounted for the majority of the balance. Excluding non-flavored bottled water, the non-carbonated beverage segment grew 58.3% in the first quarter of 2006 from a low base of comparison in 2005, mainly driven by volume growth of Ciel Aquarius our no calorie flavored water brand.

Operating Income

Our gross profit grew 9.6% to Ps. 3,591 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of 2005, resulting in a 120 basis-point gross margin expansion to 53.0% . This improvement was driven by lower polyethylene terephtalate (PET) resin costs in U.S. dollars, lower sweetener costs and the appreciation of the Mexican peso year over year as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated costs.

Our operating expenses per unit case remained stable, and operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased 20 basis points to 34.1% in the first quarter of 2006, from 33.9% in the same period of 2005. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to Ps. 404 million, reflecting a higher ongoing level of depreciation expenses from the introduction of coolers in the market towards the end of last year. Operating income increased 13.5% to Ps. 1,284 million in the first quarter of 2006, resulting in margin expansion of 110 basis points to 19.0% in the quarter.

Central American and Colombian Operating Results

CENTRAL AMERICAN OPERATING RESULTS (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama)

Revenues

Total revenues increased 5.9% to Ps. 918 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005, mainly driven by sales volume growth. Average price per unit case declined 1.9% to Ps. 32.55 (US$ 2.99), as a result of a more competitive environment.

Total sales volume in our Central American territories increased 6.9% to 27.9 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of 2005. Volume increases in carbonated soft drinks accounted for approximately 50.0% of this growth, mainly driven by strong volume growth from our flavored carbonated soft drinks in the majority of our territories.

Operating Income

In spite of higher sugar prices and higher packaging costs driven by a packaging mix shift towards non-returnable presentations, which represented 64.2% of our total sales volume in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to 54.4% in the same period of 2005, our gross profit rose 1.3% to Ps. 425 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of the previous year. This increase was a result of operating leverage due to higher revenues.

Our operating expenses declined as a percentage of total revenues from 35.1% in the first quarter of 2005 to 33.8% in the same period of 2006, driven by higher fixed cost absorption. However, our operating income remained stable at Ps. 115 million in the first quarter of 2006, resulting in an operating margin of 12.5%

COLOMBIAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Total revenues increased 2.6% to Ps. 1,160 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the first quarter of 2005, mainly as a result of average price per unit case growth. Average price per unit case increased 2.8% to Ps. 27.55 (US$ 2.53) mainly driven by price increases implemented during the second half of 2005.

Despite higher prices per unit case, our total sales volume remained stable in the first quarter of 2006 at 42.1 million unit cases, as compared with the same period of the previous year. The slight increase in carbonated soft drinks, driven by the Coca-Cola brand, partially offset sales volume decline in our non-carbonated beverage segment.

Operating Income

Gross profit increased 2.2% to Ps. 516 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of the previous year, resulting in a gross margin of 44.5% . Our gross margin remained relatively stable, in spite of higher sugar prices and higher packaging costs resulting from a mix shift towards non-returnable presentations, which accounted for 49.0% of our total sales volume in the first quarter of 2006, as compared to 44.1% in the same period of the previous year.

Our operating expenses remained stable-and, as a percentage of total sales, declined 100 basis points to 34.8% -in the first quarter of 2006, driven by lower freight costs and a reduction in breakage expenses. Our operating income increased 11.4% to Ps. 112 million, resulting in a margin expansion of 80 basis points from 8.9% in the first quarter of 2005 to 9.7% in the same period of 2006.

Venezuelan and Argentine Operating Results

VENEZUELAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Revenues from our Venezuelan operations increased 8.2% to Ps. 1,287 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of 2005. The average price per unit case increase represented over 75% of the revenue growth. Our average price per unit case increased 6.4% to Ps. 31.29 (US$ 2.87), mainly driven by price increases implemented during the quarter and the second half of last year and a packaging mix shift towards single-serve presentations.

Total sales volume increased 1.5% to 41.0 million unit cases during the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same quarter of 2005, mainly driven by an increase in carbonated soft drinks, which accounted for over 60% of incremental sales volume. Growth in the non-carbonated beverage segment, excluding non-flavored bottled water represented the majority of the balance.

Operating Income

Gross profit remained stable at Ps. 495 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of the previous year. As a percentage of sales, our gross margin decreased to 38.4% in the first quarter of 2006 from 41.7% in the same period of 2005. This decline was a result of higher raw material prices and higher packaging costs as a result of a shift in packaging mix towards non-returnable presentations, which grew as a percentage of our total sales volume to 76.1% in the first quarter of 2006 from 72.3% in the same period of 2005.

Operating expenses increased 13.7% to Ps. 481 million in the first quarter of 2006, driven by salary increases implemented during the last twelve months combined with higher freight and maintenance expenses. Operating income was Ps. 14 million during the first quarter of 2006, resulting in an operating margin of 1.1% .

ARGENTINE OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

In the first quarter of 2006, our total revenues declined by 3.1% to Ps. 748 million, as compared with the same period of 2005. Price increases implemented in 2005 partially offset last twelve months inflation, resulting in an average price per unit case decrease of 4.3% to Ps. 17.90 (US$ 1.64) .

Total volume increased by 4.8% to 41.2 million unit cases, mainly driven by sales volume increases from the Coca-Cola brand and our non-carbonated beverage segment. Carbonated soft drinks increased 4.2% mainly driven by the Coca-Cola brand and our core flavored carbonated soft drinks. The non-carbonated beverage segment posted strong volume growth of 30.0%, driven by the Cepita and Dasani brands.

Operating Income

Our gross profit grew slightly to Ps. 298 million, as compared with the first quarter of 2005. Gross margin improved as a percentage of total revenues from 38.3% in the first quarter of 2005 to 39.8% in the same period of 2006, mainly as a result of lower raw material costs.

Operating expenses increased 17.4% mainly due to salary and industry-wide freight costs increases, in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same quarter of 2005. Operating income was Ps. 103 million in the first quarter of 2006, resulting in an operating margin of 13.8% .

Brazilian Operating Results

BRAZILIAN OPERATING RESULTS

In January 2006, FEMSA Cerveza acquired an indirect controlling stake in Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. or Cervejarias Kaiser. As of February 2006, Coca-Cola FEMSA has subsequently agreed to continue to distribute the Kaiser beer portfolio and to assume the sales function in São Paulo, Brazil, consistent with the arrangements in place prior to 2004. Beer sales volume will not be included in our sales volume for the 2006 period, although revenues and costs will be recorded in our income statement. In 2005, we did not include beer that we distributed in Brazil in our sales volumes and net sales. Instead, the amount we received for distributing beer in Brazil is included in other revenues.

Revenues

Net revenues increased 24.8% to Ps. 1,901 million in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005. Excluding beer, net revenues increased 13.2% to Ps. 1,724 million in the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the same period of 2005, with volume growth accounting for approximately 70% of this growth. Excluding beer, average price per unit case increased 3.7% to Ps. 25.42 (US$ 2.33) during the first quarter of 2006, driven by price increases in connection with our multisegmentation initiatives implemented during the fourth quarter of last year and a packaging shift mix towards single serve presentations, which carry higher average price per unit case. Total revenues from beer were Ps. 177 million.

Sales volume, excluding beer, increased 9.2% to 67.8 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2006. The increase included a 7.2% growth in carbonated soft drinks, mainly driven by the Coca-Cola brand in returnable presentations, which accounted for over 50% of our incremental volume and the premium low calorie carbonated soft drinks segment and bottled water represented the majority of the balance.

Operating Income

In the first quarter of 2006, our gross profit increased 14.8% to Ps. 827 million, as compared with the same period of the previous year, in spite of the increasing pressures on sugar prices that were offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real year over year as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated costs and manufacturing efficiencies. Gross margin decreased from 46.0% to 43.2%, a margin reduction of 280 basis points in the first quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005 mainly driven by higher revenues as a result of the inclusion of beer revenues in our financial statement in 2006, as mentioned above.

Our operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 320 basis points in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005 to 27.1%, despite additional expenses incurred this quarter in connection with the selling function of beer. Operating income was Ps. 309 million in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 26.1%, resulting in a margin expansion of 50 basis points to 16.1% .
