Message from the Chief Executive Officer

 

“As we strengthen our focus on improving our operational efficiency, rolling out our portfolio initiatives, and effectively executing at the point of sale across our markets, our revenues and operating cash flow for the third quarter grew 16.6% and 13.7%, respectively, resulting in majority net income growth of 39.2%.

 

Underscoring our company’s ability to adapt to diverse conditions, our Mexico and Central America division continues implementing our transformational initiatives, which helped mitigate margin pressures and the effects that hurricanes and earthquakes had on the consumer. Importantly, our operations’ effort to maintain our levels of excellence—while supporting our affected communities—merits our recognition. In South America, our affordability initiatives are showing encouraging results in Argentina and Brazil’s recovering consumer environments. In addition, our Brazilian operation continues to improve margins, driven by favorable raw material costs and efficiencies generated by our transformational initiatives. Finally, our operation in the Philippines continues to build on the growth achieved last year, delivering comparable volume and operating cash flow growth.

 

As we approach the final stretch of the year, we remain focused on our strategic framework to continue strengthening our portfolio, digitizing our operational capabilities, and creating a strong unified corporate culture to continue delivering value for all our stakeholders,” said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Consolidated results for the third quarter

Comparable means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change in a given measure excluding the effects of: (i) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements, (iii) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods; and (iv) includes the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., as if the consolidation had taken place at the beginning of first quarter 2016. From our operations, only Venezuela qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy. In our “as reported” figures, our Venezuelan operation’s results were translated into Mexican pesos using the DICOM exchange rate published on September 30, 2017, of 3,345.00 bolivars per US dollar.

Comparable figures:

Revenues: Comparable total revenues grew 3.9% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016, driven by average price per unit case growth across most of our operations and volume growth in the Philippines and Argentina, partially offset by volume declines in the rest of our operations.

Transactions: Comparable number of transactions declined 0.7%. Our water category grew 5.0% mainly driven by the positive performance of the Philippines, Argentina and Central America. Our sparkling category had a slight contraction of 0.8% driven by growth in Argentina and the Philippines offset by declines in the rest of our operations. Finally, our still beverage category declined 4.2% where growth in Brazil, Argentina and the Philippines was mainly offset by a decline in Colombia.

Volume: Comparable sales volume declined 1.6% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Our personal water portfolio’s volume grew 2.7% due to a positive performance in most of our operations. Our bulk water portfolio’s volume remained flat, driven by growth in most of our operations which was offset by a decline in Mexico. Our sparkling beverage portfolio’s volume contracted 1.7% despite growth obtained in the Philippines and Argentina. Finally, our still beverage category’s volume decreased 5.9% where growth in Brazil and Argentina was mainly offset by a decline in Colombia.

Gross profit: Comparable gross profit grew 6.6%. Our pricing initiatives, coupled with lower PET and sweetener prices in most of our operations, offset higher sweetener and concentrate prices in Mexico and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of the Argentine Peso, the Philippine Peso, and the Colombian Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

Operating Income: Comparable operating income grew 3.3% for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016.

Operating cash flow: Comparable operating cash flow increased 5.2% in the third quarter of 2017.

 

As reported figures:

Revenues: Total revenues increased 16.6% to Ps. 49,363 million in the third quarter of 2017, including the acquisition of Vonpar in Brazil and the consolidation of our operation in the Philippines, combined with price increases aligned with or above inflation in key territories such as Mexico, Brazil and Colombia, supported by volume growth in Argentina, the Philippines, and improvements in Brazil; all despite the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of all our operating currencies as compared to the Mexican Peso.

Transactions: Reported total number of transactions increased 32.1% to 6,485.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Volume: Reported total sales volume increased 16.6% to 960.9 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Gross profit: Gross profit grew 16.6% to Ps. 22,016 million, and gross margin remained flat at 44.6%.

Equity method: The reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures recorded a loss of Ps. 6 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a gain of Ps. 49 million recorded in the third quarter of 2016. This is mainly due to (i) the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., which is not included in the equity method as of February 2017 (ii) gains in Jugos Del Valle and our joint ventures in Brazil; and (iii) a loss in our dairy joint venture in Panama.

Operating Income: Operating income declined 2.8% to Ps. 5,487 million, and operating margin contracted 220 basis points to 11.1%, mainly driven by higher labor costs, higher freight costs, and higher diesel and gasoline prices. Due to the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines in February 2017, the results of this operation are not included in our share of the profit of associates for 2017, as compared to 2016. These effects were partially offset by an operative foreign exchange gain.

Other non-operative expenses, net: Other non-operative expenses, net, recorded an expense of Ps. 597 million, compared to Ps. 806 million during the third quarter of 2016, due mainly to negative currency fluctuation effects in our Venezuela operation.

Comprehensive financing result: Comprehensive financing result in the third quarter of 2017 recorded an expense of Ps. 295 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,860 million in the same period of 2016.

During the third quarter of 2017, we recorded an interest expense of Ps. 2,170 million, compared to Ps. 1,925 million in the third quarter of 2016. This increase was driven by: (i) the interest rate increase 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; (ii) additional interest expense related to our refinancing strategy, as we issued new debt in Mexican Pesos at the end of June and made a partial early redemption of U.S. dollar-denominated notes in August; (iii) additional debt related to the acquisition of Vonpar; and (iv) the interest rate increase in Mexico.

These effects were partially offset by the decrease of interest rates in Brazil, the average exchange rate depreciation of the Brazilian Real compared to the Mexican Peso as applied to the existing Brazilian Real-denominated interest expense, and the reduction of debt in Argentina.

In addition, for the third quarter, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 97 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 432 million in 2016, which was generated as a result of the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position in 2016.

During the third quarter of 2017, we recorded a gain on monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 1,301 million as compared to Ps. 478 million during the same period of 2016, related to higher inflation during the period in our operation in Venezuela.

Market value on financial instruments recorded a gain of Ps. 203 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 134 million in the third quarter of 2016 due to the recent decrease of interest rates in Brazil as applied to our floating rate cross-currency swaps.

Income tax: During the third quarter of 2017, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 28.0%, compared to 23.2% in the same period of 2016. The increase of the tax rate in 2017 resulted from (i) a higher effective tax rate in Colombia; and (ii) a higher effective tax rate in the Philippines. These effects were not fully offset by tax efficiencies and ongoing efforts to reduce non-deductibles across our operations.

Net income: Reported consolidated net controlling interest income increased 39.2% to Ps. 3,152 million in the third quarter of 2017, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.50 (Ps. 15.01 per ADS).

Operating cash flow: Operating cash flow grew 13.7% to Ps. 9,303 million, and operating cash flow margin contracted 50 basis points to 18.8%.

Balance Sheet (1)

As of September 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of Ps. 20,206 million, including US$209 million denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase of Ps. 9,730 million as compared to December 31, 2016. This difference was mainly driven by the cash obtained from the issuance of shares to former Vonpar’s shareholders, the consolidation of the Philippines, and the cash flow generation across our territories.

As of September 30, 2017, total short-term debt was Ps. 2,155 million, and long-term debt was Ps. 76,510 million. Total debt decreased by Ps. 10,244 million, compared to year-end 2016, mainly due to the positive translation effect resulting from the appreciation of the end-of-period exchange rate of the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated debt position. Net debt decreased by Ps. 19,974 million compared to year-end 2016.

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter, including the effect of debt swapped to Brazilian Reals and Mexican Pesos at a floating and fixed rates, was 8.72%, a reduction as compared to the second quarter 2017 due mainly to the reduction of interest rates in Brazil.

In our “as reported” figures, our Venezuelan operation’s results were translated into Mexican pesos using the DICOM exchange rate published on September 30, 2017, of 3,345.00 bolivars per US dollar.

 

Comparable figures:

Revenues: Comparable total revenues from our Mexico and Central America division increased 4.1% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, driven by an increase in average price per unit case in Mexico, partially offset by volume declines in the division.

Volume: Total sales volume for the division decreased 3.0% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the same period of 2016. Volume decline during the quarter was mostly generated by natural disasters impacting the region.

Our still beverage category’s volume declined 1.6% while our personal water portfolio’s volume grew 2.0% driven by positive performance in both Mexico and Central America.

Volume: Reported total sales volume increased 14.2% to 2,837.3 million unit cases in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Gross profit: Gross profit grew 22.9% to Ps. 67,193 million, and gross margin declined 90 basis points to 44.4%.

Equity method: The reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures recorded a gain of Ps. 5 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to a gain of Ps. 318 million recorded in the first nine months of 2016. This is due to (i) the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., which is no longer included in the equity method as of February 2017, (ii) gains from our Jugos Del Valle joint venture and our joint ventures in Brazil; and (iii) a loss in our dairy joint venture in Panama.

Operating Income: Operating income increased 7.0% to Ps. 17,744 million, and operating margin contracted 200 basis points to 11.7%, due mainly to an increase in operating expenses, partially offset by an operative foreign exchange gain.

Other non-operative expenses, net: Other non-operative expenses, net, recorded an expense of Ps. 707 million, compared to expenses of Ps. 1,839 million during the first nine months of 2016, due mainly to the negative currency fluctuation effects in our operation in Venezuela, partially offset by income related to the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines.

Comprehensive financing result: Our comprehensive financing result in the first nine months of 2017 recorded an expense of Ps. 3,190 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 5,687 million in the same period of 2016.

During the first nine months of 2017, we recorded an interest expense of Ps. 6,829 million, compared to Ps. 5,336 million in the first nine months of 2016. This increase was driven by: (i) the interest rate increase 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; (ii) additional debt related to the acquisition of Vonpar; (iii) the average exchange rate appreciation of the Brazilian Real compared to the Mexican Peso as applied to our existing Brazilian Real-denominated interest expense; and (iv) the interest rate increase in Mexico. These effects were partially offset by the decrease of interest rates in Brazil and the reduction of debt in Argentina.

In addition, for the first nine months, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 279 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 1,838 million in 2016, which resulted from the depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position in 2016.

During the first nine months of 2017, we recorded a gain on monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 2,163 million as compared to Ps. 794 million during the same period of 2016 related to our operation in Venezuela.

Market value on financial instruments recorded a gain of Ps. 556 million due to the recent decrease of interest rates in Brazil as applied to our floating rate cross-currency swaps.

Income tax: During the first nine months of 2017, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 21.3%, compared to 25.1% in the same period of 2016. This reduction was driven mainly by the one-time non-operative income recorded in connection with the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. in February.

Net income: Reported consolidated net controlling interest income increased 55.5% to Ps. 10,233 million in the first nine months of 2017, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 4.90 (Ps. 49.00 per ADS).

Operating cash flow: Operating cash flow grew 22.0% to Ps. 28,638 million, and operating cash flow margin contracted 60 basis points to 18.9%.

Additional Information

This news release may contain forward-looking statements concerning Coca-Cola FEMSA’s future performance, which should be considered as good faith estimates by Coca-Cola FEMSA. These forward-looking statements reflect management’s expectations and are based upon currently available data. Actual results are subject to future events and uncertainties, many of which are outside Coca-Cola FEMSA’s control, which could materially impact the Company’s actual performance. References herein to “US$” are to United States dollars. This news release contains translations of certain Mexican peso amounts into U.S. dollars for the convenience of the reader. These translations should not be construed as representations that Mexican peso amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated.

All the financial information presented in this report was prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

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: (i) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, (ii) translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements, (iii) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods, and (iv) includes the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., as if the consolidation had taken place at the beginning of the first quarter of 2016. 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.

As a result of newly issued KOF L shares, year-to-date earnings per share were computed based on 2,088.2 million shares, the weighted average outstanding shares over the period. At the end of September 2017, total outstanding shares were 2,100.8 million shares (each ADS represents 10 local shares).

For reporting purposes, all corporate expenses, including the equity method recorded from our stake of the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., were included in the results of the Mexico and Central America division. Starting on February 2013 and ending on January 2017, we incorporated our stake of the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. through the equity method.
