2015 FOURTH - QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

 

Mexico City, February 23, 2016, Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL, NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA” or the “Company”), the largest franchise bottler in the world, announces results for the fourth quarter of 2015:

·         Comparable revenues grew 10.2% for the fourth quarter of 2015.

·         Comparable operating income grew 9.2% for the fourth quarter of 2015.

·         Comparable operative cash flow grew 10.7% for the fourth quarter of 2015 with a margin expansion of 10 basis points.

·         Comparable earnings per share grew 6.0%, reaching Ps. 1.45 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

In an effort to provide our readers with a more useful representation of our company's underlying financial and operating performance we are including the term “Comparable”. This means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. Currently, the only operation that qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy is Venezuela. In preparing this measure, management has used its best judgment, estimates and assumptions in order to maintain comparability. To translate the fourth quarter and full year 2015 reported results of Venezuela we use the SIMADI exchange rate of 198.70 bolivars per USD, as compared with 49.99 bolivars per USD in the same periods of 2014. As of the fourth quarter the average depreciation of currencies in our main operations as compared to the US dollar was: Brazilian real 51.0%, Colombian peso 40.8%, Mexican peso 21.0% and the Argentine peso 19.6%. Additionally, for the same period, the average depreciation of currencies in our main operations as compared to de Mexican peso was: Brazilian real 24.7% and Colombian peso 16.4%; while the Argentine peso appreciated 1.4%.

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

 

“We close 2015 proud of our operations’ achievements in a challenging year.  On a comparable basis, we delivered balanced high single-digit revenue and double-digit operating income growth on top of a margin expansion.  Importantly, building on our consumers’ preference for our diversified portfolio of beverage alternatives, transactions continued to outperform volumes in most of our operations—with still beverages accounting for 43% of our incremental transactions for the year.

Amid Mexico’s recovering consumer landscape and our system’s daily efforts to present the country’s consumer with increased beverage choices, we regained our track record of transaction growth—highlighted by a recovery in sparkling beverage transactions, coupled with a 7% increase in non-carbonated beverages.  In Central America, our operations built on our 7% comparable growth in 2014 to generate increased transactions during 2015.  We successfully navigated Brazil’s complex macroeconomic and consumer environment—achieving 20 consecutive months of market share gains in the sparkling beverage category.  In Colombia, we accomplished close to double-digit transaction growth for the third consecutive year and expanded our share of key beverage categories.  We built on strong transaction and pricing growth to expand our margins in Argentina, while delivering market share gains across all of our beverage categories. Despite an exceptionally complex operating environment, our Venezuelan team generated greater market share across the sparkling beverage category, along with improved profitability. Moreover, our Philippine operations accelerated transaction growth in our core sparkling beverages, simultaneously achieving a more sustainable improvement in our profitability.

We enter 2016 with a renewed focus on reinforcing our operating discipline and continually improving our execution standards, commercial practices, and business models to better serve our clients and consumers.  We will further concentrate on strengthening our financial position, maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation, and delivering sustainable, profitable growth for our shareholders,” said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

Consolidated Results

Comparable means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations, only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy.

Comparable total revenues grew 10.2% to Ps. 38,433 million driven by average price per unit case growth across most of our operations and volume growth in Mexico, Colombia and Central America.

 

The comparable number of transactions grew 2.7% to 5,070 million. Transactions of our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 1.9% driven by the positive performance of Mexico, which increased 6.2%, Colombia, which grew 8.7%, and Central America. Transactions of water, including bulk water, grew 3.4% driven by the performance of Colombia which offset a contraction in Mexico and Brazil. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 9.3%, mainly driven by Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and Central America.

 

Comparable sales volume grew 2.3% to 856.1 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 2.3% mainly driven by Mexico and Colombia, which offset a contraction in Brazil. Volume of our bottled water portfolio increased 3.0% driven by Brisa and Manantial in Colombia, and Aquarius in Argentina. Our still beverage category increased 9.4% driven by Del Valle, Vallefrut, Santa Clara and Powerade in Mexico; Hi-C and Cepita in Argentina and Del Valle line of business in Colombia. Volume of our bulk water portfolio decreased 0.6% mainly due to a decline of Ciel in Mexico.

 

Comparable gross profit grew 11.7% to Ps. 18,265 million with a gross margin expansion of 60 basis points in the period. In local currency, the benefit of lower sweetener and PET prices, in combination with our currency hedging strategy, was partially offset by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Brazilian Real(1), the Colombian Peso(1), the Mexican Peso(1) and the Argentine Peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

Comparable operating income grew 9.2% to Ps. 6,151 million with a margin contraction of 20 basis points to reach 16.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

On a comparable basis, during the fourth quarter of 2015 the other operative expenses net line recorded an expense of Ps. 183 million, mainly due to certain restructuring charges and negative operating currency fluctuation effects across our territories.

 

The comparable reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line recorded a loss of Ps. 69 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly due to an equity method loss from our participation in our non-carbonated beverage joint-ventures in Brazil and Panama, which were partially compensated by a positive contribution of our stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. This compares to a gain of Ps. 120 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Our comparable comprehensive financing result in the fourth quarter of 2015 recorded an expense of Ps. 2,015 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 1,781 million in the same period of 2014. The difference was mainly driven by higher interest expenses recorded in Brazil during 2015.

 

With the purpose of reducing counterparty risk, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we reset the terms of the swaps used to change dollar denominated debt into Brazilian reals, in connection with the acquisitions of Spaipa and Fluminense in Brazil in 2013. As a result, we recorded a payment of advanced interest expenses due to the interest rate differential between the level at which the dollar debt was originally swapped, and the level at which it was reset in the recouponing.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2015, comparable income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 27.8% as compared to 25.5% in the same period of 2014.

 

Comparable operative cash flow grew 10.7% to Ps. 8,147 million with a margin expansion of 10 basis points as compared to the same period of 2014.

 

Comparable net controlling interest income grew 6.0% to Ps. 3,015 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.45 (Ps. 14.54 per ADS)(2).

 

 

As reported figures

 

Total sales volume grew 1.8% to 913.4 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Total revenues increased 3.0% to Ps. 40,742 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, despite the negative translation effect resulting from using the SIMADI exchange rate(1) to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation and the depreciation of the Brazilian real(1), the Colombian peso(1) and the Argentine peso(1).

 

Gross profit grew 4.4% to Ps. 19,315 million and gross margin expanded 60 basis points to 47.4%. Operating income grew 4.3% to Ps. 6,649 million and operating margin expanded 20 basis points to 16.3%. Operative cash flow grew 8.9% to Ps. 8,820 million and operating cash flow margin expanded 110 basis points to reach 21.6%.

 

Reported consolidated net controlling interest income grew 1.5% to Ps. 3,121 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.51 (Ps. 15.06 per ADS)(2).

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2015, we had a cash balance of Ps. 15,989 million, including US$ 564 million denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase of Ps. 3,031 million compared to December 31, 2014. This difference was mainly driven by cash flow generation across our territories and the effect of the depreciation of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated cash position, net of the payment of the two installments of the dividend in the amount of Ps. 3,213 million and Ps. 3,192 million, during May and November of 2015, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2015, total short-term debt was Ps. 3,470 million and long-term debt was Ps. 63,260 million. Total debt increased by Ps. 702 million, compared to year end 2014 mainly due to the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of the end of period exchange rate of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated debt position. Net debt decreased Ps. 2,328 million compared to year end 2014.

 

As of December 31, 2015, we recognized in the cumulative translation account in our consolidated financial statements, a reduction in equity(2) of Ps. 4,798 million as a result of the effects of currency movements(1) on the valuation of our net investment in our subsidiaries and joint ventures.

 

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter, including the effect of debt swapped to Brazilian reals at a floating rate(2), was 8.2%. The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of December 31, 2015.

Our division’s comparable average price per unit case, which is presented net of taxes, grew 5.2%, reaching Ps. 41.12.

 

Total transactions in the Mexico and Central America division grew 5.7%, ahead the volume performance, totaling 2,794.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Summary of Full Year Results

Comparable means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of (1) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (2) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements and (3) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. From our operations only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy.

 

 

Comparable total revenues grew 8.6% to 143,462 in 2015, driven by average price per unit case growth in all of our operations and volume growth in Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Argentina.

 

The comparable number of transactions grew 1.1% to 18,961.5 million in 2015, outperforming volume growth. Transactions of our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 0.4% mainly driven by a 2.9% growth in Mexico and a positive performance in Colombia, Argentina and Central America, which was partially compensated by a contraction in Brazil. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 6.0%, mainly driven by Colombia, Mexico and Argentina. Transactions of water, including bulk water, increased 1.6% driven by the performance of Colombia and Argentina.

 

Comparable total volume grew 0.7% to 3,200.0 million unit cases in 2015, as compared to 2014. Our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 0.7% driven by the performance of brand Coca-Cola in Mexico, Colombia and Central America, and the positive performance of our flavored sparkling beverage portfolio in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Central America. The still beverage category grew 6.5% driven by the performance of Jugos del Valle juice in Colombia, Mexico and Central America; del Valle Frut orangeade in Mexico and Brazil; Powerade across most of our territories and the performance of the Santa Clara dairy business in Mexico. Personal water grew 1.8% driven by growth in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Central America. Bulk water contracted 2.8% mainly driven by a decline of Ciel in Mexico.

 

Comparable gross profit grew 10.3% to 67,663 with a gross margin expansion of 70 basis points. In local currency, the benefit of lower sweetener and PET prices, in combination with our currency hedging strategy, was partially offset by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso, the Mexican Peso and the Argentine Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

 

Comparable operating income increased 13.5% to Ps. 21,245 million with a margin expansion of 60 basis points to reach 14.8% in the full year of 2015.

 

During the full year of 2015 the comparable other operative expenses net line recorded an expense of Ps. 889 million, mainly due to certain restructuring charges and negative operating currency fluctuation effects across our territories.

 

The comparable share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line recorded an expense of Ps. 3 million in the full year of 2015, mainly due to an equity method loss from our non-carbonated beverage joint-ventures which were partially compensated by a positive contribution of our stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc.

 

Our comparable comprehensive financing result in 2015 recorded an expense of Ps. 7,261 million as compared to an expense of Ps. 5,574 million in 2014. This increase was mainly driven by (i) a foreign exchange loss as a result of the depreciation of the end-of-period exchange rate of the Mexican peso during the year, as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position of approximately US$650 million, and (ii) the previously mentioned effect of higher interest expenses recorded in Brazil during 2015.

 

During the full year of 2015, comparable reported income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 30.6% as compared to 25.6% in 2014. The lower effective tax rate registered during 2014 is mainly related to a one-time benefit resulting from the settlement of certain contingent tax liabilities under the tax amnesty program offered by the Brazilian tax authorities, which was registered during 2014.

 

Comparable operative cash flow grew 10.2% to Ps. 29,060 million with a margin expansion of 30 basis points as compared to the same period of 2014.

 

Comparable consolidated net controlling interest income decreased 2.1% to Ps. 9,511 million in the full year of 2015, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 4.59 (Ps. 45.88 per ADS)(2).

 

 

As reported figures

 

Total sales volume increased 0.5% to 3,435.6 million unit cases in 2015 as compared to 2014. Total revenues grew 3.4% to Ps. 152,360 million in the full year of 2015, despite the negative translation effect resulting from using the SIMADI exchange rate(1) to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation and the depreciation of the Brazilian real, the Colombian peso and the Argentine peso(1).

 

Gross profit grew 5.3% to Ps. 72,031 million and gross margin reached 47.3% in the full year of 2015. Operating income increased 9.2% to Ps. 22,645 million with an operating margin expansion of 80 basis points. Operative cash flow increased 10.0% to Ps. 31,233 million and operating cash flow margin expanded 120 basis points to reach 20.5%.

 

Consolidated net controlling interest income was Ps. 10,235 million in full year of 2015, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 4.94 (Ps. 49.38 per ADS)(2).

Philippines Operation

For the fourth quarter of 2015, affected by 5 less selling days, volume decreased 0.9%, while transactions contracted 2.4% and revenue decreased by 2.7%, as compared to the same period of 2014. Adjusted to exclude the effect of fewer selling days, the average daily sales volume growth was 5.6% and the average daily sales revenues increased 3.7% for the fourth quarter of 2015. On the same adjusted basis, consistent with our strategy to focus on packaging innovation for our core sparkling beverages, brand Coca-Cola grew 8% and our core flavors grew 11%. Our Philippines operation continues to deliver positive operational results, which have driven a more sustainable improvement of this franchise’s financial performance. 

 

Recent developments

·            In February 2016 the Venezuelan government announced changes to its exchange rate system. As of February 18, 2016 there are only two official exchange rates. The official CENCOEX rate, which applies to the importation of finished goods and raw materials for some product categories, was devalued from 6.30 bolivars per US dollar to 10 bolivars per US dollar. The state-run Supplementary Currency Administration System (SICAD) currency rate was discontinued. The current Sistema Marginal de Divisas (SIMADI) exchange rate will continue to exist as a free-floating mechanism. As per the most recent auction held on February 17, 2016, the exchange rate of the SIMADI was 202.04 bolivars per U.S. dollar.

 

·            On February 22, 2016, Coca-Cola FEMSA Board of Directors agreed to propose, for approval at the Annual Shareholders meeting to be held on March 7, 2016, an ordinary dividend of Ps. 6,944 million, representing Ps. 3.35 per each share (calculated on a basis of 2,072.9 million shares), to be paid in two installments during May and November of 2016.

(1) Includes the net reduction in equity of Ps. 4,798 million recognized in the cumulative translation account as a result of the valuation of our net investment in our subsidiaries and joint ventures. This reduction is originated by the negative translation effect of using the state-run SIMADI exchange rate in Venezuela; and the depreciation of the end-of-period exchange rate of the Brazilian real, the Colombian peso, and the Argentine peso, net of the positive translation effect resulting from the appreciation of the end-of-period exchange rates in Central America and the Philippines; all as compared to the Mexican peso.
