2018 THIRD QUARTER AND FIRST NINE MONTHS RESULTS

Mexico City, October 25, 2018, Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL, 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 third quarter of 2018.

 

Relevant Reporting Information

 

·       Volumes and financial results of the recently acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay were consolidated as of May 1, 2018 and as of July 1, 2018, respectively. Coca-Cola FEMSA de Venezuela was deconsolidated as of December 31, 2017.

·       On August 16, 2018, KOF announced the exercise of the put option to sell its 51% stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc.

As a result, the Asia Division is no longer reported.

Operational and Financial Highlights

·       Comparable revenues grew 6.5% for the quarter driven by growth in Brazil, Central America, Colombia, and Mexico.

·       Operating income grew 8.2%, while comparable operating income increased 5.5% for the quarter, driven mainly by lower sweetener costs, a favorable currency hedging position in South America, and operating expense efficiencies, partially offset by higher PET prices.

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

“Our third-quarter results reflect very encouraging positive trends in many of our markets. In Mexico, our revenue management platform’s analytics are enabling us to deliver solid top-line growth, backed by positive volume performance. In Central America, organic volumes are showing encouraging trends, coupled with the ongoing integration of very promising territories in Guatemala. Importantly, in South America, we continue to gain share in gradually recovering consumer environments as we offer affordability and focus relentlessly on point-of-sale execution: Colombia is gaining traction; Brazil continues to deliver top-and-bottom-line growth, while Argentina is better than ever prepared to face the challenging macro environment. Finally, this quarter, we welcome Uruguay as the newest territory to our diversified footprint. As we approach the end of the year, we look forward to continue capitalizing on our capabilities to capture the marketplace’s many opportunities, while obsessively focusing on serving our customers and consumers.” said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Consolidated results for the third quarter

Comparable(1) figures:

Revenues: Comparable total revenues grew 6.5% in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period of 2017, driven by average price per unit case growth aligned with or ahead of inflation in Mexico and Central America, coupled with volume growth in Brazil, Colombia, Central America, and Mexico.

Transactions: Comparable number of transactions increased 2.0%. Our sparkling beverage category grew 1.2%, driven by 3.1% growth in our colas portfolio, partially offset by a decline in flavors. Our positive performance in colas was driven by growth across all of our operations. Our still beverage category increased 3.6%, driven mainly by the positive performance of Brazil and Mexico, partially offset by declines in Central America and Colombia. Finally, our water category’s transactions increased by 7.4%, driven by growth in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, partially offset by a decline in Central America.

Volume: Comparable sales volume increased 2.5% in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Additionally, excluding jug water, comparable sales volume increased 3.2%. Our sparkling beverage portfolio’s volume increased 2.5%, driven by growth in our colas portfolio, partially offset by a decline in our flavors portfolio. Our growth in colas was driven by the positive performance of all of our operations. Our still beverage category’s volume grew 3.6%, driven by Central America and Mexico. Our personal water portfolio’s volume grew 12.0% due to positive performance across most of our operations. Finally, our bulk water portfolio’s volume declined 3.1%, driven mainly by declines in Central America, Colombia, and Mexico, partially offset by growth in the rest of our operations.

Gross profit: Comparable gross profit grew 5.8%. Our volume growth, lower sweetener prices in most of our operations, and favorable currency hedging positions in South America were offset by higher PET prices across most of our operations, higher concentrate prices in Mexico, and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of the Brazilian Real as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

Operating Income: Comparable operating income increased 5.5% for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period of 2017.

Operating cash flow: Comparable operating cash flow increased 6.2% in the third quarter of 2018.

As reported figures:

According to IFRS 5, the Philippines is presented as a discontinued operation as of January 1, 2018 and the consolidated income

statements presented herein are re-presented as if the Philippines had been discontinued from February 2017.

 

Revenues: Total revenues decreased 0.7% to Ps. 44,148 million in the third quarter of 2018, driven mainly by the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of the Argentine Peso and the Brazilian Real as compared to the Mexican Peso, combined with a volume decline and hyperinflationary accounting in Argentina and the deconsolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA de Venezuela as of December 31, 2017. These factors were partially offset by volume growth in Brazil, Central America, Colombia, and Mexico, price increases aligned with or above inflation in Mexico and Argentina, and the consolidation of recently acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay.

Transactions: Reported total number of transactions increased 2.2% to 4,973.1 million in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

Volume: Reported total sales volume increased 2.2% to 839.2 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

Gross profit: Gross profit increased 0.6% to Ps. 20,236.7 million, and gross margin expanded 60 basis points to 45.8%.

Equity method: The reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures recorded a loss of Ps. 85 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to a loss of Ps. 6 million recorded in the third quarter of 2017. This is mainly due to a loss in our dairy joint venture in Panama, partially offset by gains in our joint ventures in Brazil.

Operating Income: Operating income increased 8.2% to Ps. 5,777.5 million, and operating margin expanded 110 basis points to 13.1% during the third quarter of 2018 as compared with the same period of 2017, which included Venezuela.

Other non-operative expenses, net: Other non-operative expenses, net, recorded an expense of Ps. 95 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 597 million during the third quarter of 2017, which mainly resulted from the effects of negative currency fluctuations in Coca-Cola FEMSA de Venezuela.

Comprehensive financing result: Comprehensive financing result in the third quarter of 2018 recorded an expense of Ps. 1,322 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 341 million in the same period of 2017.

During the third quarter of 2018, we recorded an interest expense, net, of Ps. 1,558 million, compared to Ps. 1,929 million in the third quarter of 2017. This decrease was driven by the decline of short-term interest rates in Brazil; the average exchange rate depreciation of the Brazilian Real compared to the Mexican Peso as applied to existing Brazilian Real-denominated interest expense; and the reduction of debt in Colombia. However, these effects were partially offset by financing during the previous quarter of Ps. 10,100 million for the acquisition of our new territories in Guatemala and Uruguay.

In addition, for the third quarter, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 60 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 84 million in the same period of 2017.

Moreover, due to the reporting of our Argentina operation as a hyperinflationary subsidiary as of the third quarter of 2018, monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries recorded a gain of Ps. 117 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 1,301 million during the same period of 2017, which was generated by Venezuela.

Market value on financial instruments recorded a gain of Ps. 59 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 203 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Income tax: During the third quarter of 2018, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 31.4%, compared to 25.2% in the same period of 2017. The higher tax rate was driven mainly by the increase in the relative weight of Brazil’s profits in our consolidated results, coupled with the deconsolidation of Venezuela, which had deferred taxes in the third quarter of 2017.

Net income: Consolidated net controlling interest income increased 3.6% to Ps. 3,266.1 million in the third quarter 2018, as compared to the same period of the previous year, which included Venezuela; resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.55 (Ps. 15.54 per ADS).

Earnings per share from continuing operations was Ps. 1.36 (Ps. 13.56 per ADS).

Operating cash flow: Operating cash flow decreased 1.2% to Ps. 8,491.6 million, and operating cash flow margin contracted 10 basis points to 19.2%.

Consolidated Balance Sheet (1)

As of September 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of Ps. 18,475 million of which US$180 million is denominated in U.S. dollars. This amount excludes the Philippine’s cash position of Ps. 5,918 million now that the Philippines operation is classified as assets available for sale. Excluding the Philippine’s cash position in 2017, our cash balance increased Ps. 6,007 million compared to year-end 2017, mainly driven by cash flow generation. As of September 30, 2018, total short-term debt was Ps. 10,121 million and long-term debt was Ps. 79,840 million. Total debt increased by Ps. 6,601 million and net debt, excluding the Philippine’s cash position, increased by Ps. 594 million compared year-end 2017, due mainly to financing for the acquisition of our new territories in Guatemala and Uruguay.

 

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter, including the effect of debt swapped to Brazilian Reals and Mexican Pesos, was 7.71%, a reduction as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, due mainly to the reduction of interest rates in Brazil.

Finally, our water category’s transactions increased by 4.2%, driven by growth across most of our operations, partially offset by a decline in Central America.

Volume: Comparable sales volume increased 1.4% in the first nine months of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Additionally, excluding jug water volume, comparable sales volume increased 2.2%.

Our personal water portfolio’s volume grew 12.8% due to the positive performance of most of our operations. Finally, our bulk water portfolio’s volume decreased 5.3%, driven by declines in Colombia and Mexico.

Gross profit: Comparable gross profit grew 5.4%. Our pricing initiatives, coupled with lower sweetener prices in most of our operations, were partially offset by higher PET costs across most of our operations, higher concentrate costs in Mexico, and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of the Argentine Peso and the Brazilian Real as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

Operating Income: Comparable operating income remained flat for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to the same period of 2017.

Operating cash flow: Comparable operating cash flow increased 3.8% in the first nine months of 2018.

As reported figures:

Revenues: Reported total revenues decreased 4.7% to Ps. 130,577 million in the first nine months of 2018, driven by the consolidation of recently acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay, volume growth in Brazil, Central America, Colombia, and Mexico, and price increases aligned with or above inflation in Argentina and Mexico. These factors were partially offset by the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of the Argentine Peso and the Brazilian Real as compared to the Mexican Peso, the deconsolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA de Venezuela as of December 31, 2017, and the reporting of Argentina as a hyperinflationary subsidiary as of July 1, 2018.

Equity method: The reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures recorded a loss of Ps. 201 million in the first nine months of 2018, compared to a gain of Ps. 5 million recorded in the first nine months of 2017. This is due mainly to a loss in our dairy joint venture in Panama, partially offset by gains in our joint ventures in Brazil and in our Jugos del Valle joint venture in Mexico

This decrease was driven by the decline of short-term interest rates in Brazil; the average exchange rate depreciation of the Brazilian Real compared to the Mexican Peso as applied to existing Brazilian Real-denominated interest expense; and the reduction of debt in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. However, these factors were partially offset by: (i) an interest rate increase in Mexico; (ii) financing of Ps. 10,100 million for the acquisition of our new territories in Guatemala and Uruguay; and (iii) an interest rate increase resulting from swapping U.S. dollar-denominated debt to Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso-denominated debt as part of our strategy to eliminate our U.S. dollar net debt exposure.

In addition, for the first nine months of 2018, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 51 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 268 million in 2017, which resulted from the depreciation of the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated cash position.

Due to the deconsolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA de Venezuela, no monetary position in hyperinflationary subsidiaries was recorded in the first six months of 2018. Nevertheless, with the reporting of Argentina as of July 1, 2018, a gain of Ps. 117 million was recorded in monetary position in hyperinflationary subsidiaries, compared to a gain of Ps. 2,163 million related to Venezuela for the first nine months of 2017.

Market value on financial instruments recorded a loss of Ps. 246 million, compared to a gain of Ps. 556 million in the first nine months of 2017, due to the decrease in long-term interest rates in Brazil as applied to our fixed rate cross-currency swaps, during the period.

Income tax: During the first nine months of 2018, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 31.2%, compared to 20.7% in the same period of 2017. The lower tax rate in the first nine months of 2017 was driven mainly by deferred taxes in Venezuela.

Net income: Consolidated net controlling interest income decreased 19.9% to Ps. 8,201.0 million in the first nine months of 2018, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 3.90 (Ps. 39.04 per ADS), driven mainly by a non-cash gain on monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries generated by Venezuela during the comparable period of 2017.

Operating cash flow: Operating cash flow decreased 5.2% to Ps. 24,909.3 million, and operating cash flow margin contracted 10 basis points to 19.1%.

 

Result from discontinued operations

On August 16, 2018, KOF announced the exercise of the put option to sell its 51% stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. Therefore, the Philippines is presented as a discontinued operation as of January 1, 2018, and the consolidated income statements presented herein are re-presented as if the Philippines had been discontinued from February 2017, date of the consolidation of said operation.

During the first nine months of 2018, the result of discontinued operations reached Ps. 576 million as compared to Ps. 700 million in the same period of the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by an increase in the cost of goods related to (i) the implementation of the excise tax, (ii) sugar scarcity, and (iii) higher PET prices; partially offset by operational efficiencies.

Comparability
