    “In 2006 our knowledge of local market dynamics, coupled with our innovative products, processes, and practices, enabled us to achieve strong top-line results in the face of a more complex competitive environment. Thanks to the wide-spread popularity of brand Coca-Cola and our well-designed commercial strategies, we also were able to produce solid bottom-line growth in spite of cost pressures in the majority of our markets. During the year, we further strengthened our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company by arriving at a comprehensive, collaborative framework for a new stage of profitable growth. This new framework leverages the marketing strength of The Coca-Cola Company, defines a platform for our joint pursuit of incremental growth in the carbonated soft-drink category, and provides for the accelerated development of the non-carbonated beverage segment—through acquisitions and organic growth,” said Carlos Salázar Lomelín, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Our consolidated revenues increased 7.1% to Ps. 15,173 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 as a result of increases in all of our territories except for Mexico. Our consolidated average price per unit case decreased 0.6% to Ps. 28.36 (US$ 2.63) compared to the fourth quarter of 2005; average price per unit case increases in all of our territories partially offset price decline in Mexico.

Total sales volume increased 6.2% to 523.2 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005, mainly driven by a 7.4% volume growth of brand Coca-Cola, which accounted for almost 75% of our total incremental volumes during the quarter. Carbonated soft drinks sales volume grew 5.5% to 448.4 million unit cases, driven by incremental volumes across all of our territories.

Our gross profit rose 2.5% to Ps. 7,165 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 driven by increases in all of our operations, except for Mexico. Gross margin decreased 210 basis points to 47.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006 from 49.3% in the same period of 2005, due to a 5.1% increase in our average cost per unit case resulting from increases in our sweetener cost in all of our territories, and higher resin prices in some of our territories.

Our consolidated operating income increased 0.3% to Ps. 2,619 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, with double-digit increases in operating income in Colombia, Central America and Venezuela, and single-digit growth in Brazil, compensating decreases in Mexico and Argentina. Our operating margin was 17.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006, a decline of 110 basis points as compared to the same period of 2005 mainly due to a decline in the gross margin.

After an extensive analysis, conducted by a third-party, on the current conditions and expected useful life of our cooler inventories in our territories in Mexico, we decided to modify the useful life of our coolers from five to seven years. We made this decision based on the benefit of KOF´s maintenance policy and our ability to better manage our cooler platform. This modification reduced our amortization expenses by Ps. 127 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and benefited our operating income by a similar amount. Excluding this change our consolidated operating income would have decreased by 4.6% in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005 and the operating margin would have been 16.4% in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Our integral cost of financing declined by 68.9% in the fourth-quarter of 2006 to Ps. 91 million as compared to the same period of 2005, mainly driven by a decline in interest expenses resulted from a reduction in our liability position year over year.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, income tax, tax on assets and employee profit sharing as a percentage of income before taxes was 30.4% as compared to 35.8% in the same quarter of 2005. During the year our effective tax rate was benefited by a reduction in the statutory tax rates in some of our operations and the use of tax loss carry forwards, resulting in a reduction in our effective tax rate.

Our consolidated majority net income increased by 1.3% to Ps. 1,514 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. A reduction in our integral cost of financing and lower effective taxes, more than offset an increase in other expenses during the quarter. Earnings per share (“EPS”) were Ps. 0.82 (US$ 0.76 per ADR) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADR represents 10 local shares).

BALANCE SHEET

As of December 31, 2006, Coca-Cola FEMSA had a cash balance of Ps. 4,473 million (US$ 414 million), an increase of Ps. 2,267 million (US$ 210 million) compared to December 31, 2005, resulting mainly from internal cash generation, net of Coca-Cola FEMSA’s dividend payment in the amount of Ps. 716 million (US$ 66 million) made in the first half of the year, and some additional indebtedness.

Total short-term debt was Ps. 3,174 million (US$ 294 million) and long-term debt was Ps. 16,189 million (US$ 1,499 million). Net debt decreased approximately Ps. 3,908 million (US$ 362 million) compared to year end of 2005, as a result of the above mentioned cash generation, and in nominal U.S. dollar terms net debt declined US$ 1,110 million since the second quarter of 2003 when we acquired Panamco.

During the fourth quarter, we assumed new debt in the amount of Ps. 2,698 million (US$ 250 million) to partially refinance our KOF-06 Yankee Bond and Panamco UDI based note maturities worth an approximate Ps. 3,605 million (US$ 333 million), cash on hand was used to pay down the remaining amount.

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter was 8.01% . The following chart sets forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type as of December 31, 2006:

MEXICAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Revenues from our Mexican territories decreased 0.5% to Ps. 7,449 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Sales volume growth partially compensated for lower average price per unit case. Average price per unit case declined by 3.0% to Ps. 28.26 (US$ 2.62) as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, because of the majority of the incremental volume came from multi-serve presentations and jug water, which carry lower prices 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. 32.45 (US$ 3.00) a 1.9% decline in real terms as compared to the same period of 2005.

Total sales volume increased 2.3% to 262.4 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, resulted from (i) a 1.1% sales volume growth in carbonated soft drinks, driven by a 3.7% increase in brand Coca-Cola, (ii) a 6.1% sales volume growth in jug water, and (iii) incremental volumes in non-flavored bottled water in single serve presentation. Non-carbonated beverage segment excluding non-flavored bottled water, grew over 20% in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005, driven by strong volume growth from Ciel Aquarius, a flavored no-calorie water.

Operating Income

Our gross profit declined by 1.1% to Ps. 3,960 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005. Gross margin declined from 53.5% in the fourth quarter of 2005 to 53.2% in the same period of 2006, resulted from lower average prices per unit case year over year.

As discussed above we modified during the quarter our coolers useful life from five to seven years in our Mexican operations. This modification reduced our amortization expenses by Ps. 127 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and benefited our operating income by a similar amount. Excluding this change, our operating expenses would have increased by 6.7% and as a result our operating income would have decreased by 11.8% in the fourth quarter of 2006. Our operating income margin would have declined by 250 basis points to 19.8% in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005.

The increase in operating expenses was driven mainly by higher marketing expenses recorded during the quarter in connection with brand building initiatives implemented during the year.

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

Revenues

Revenues reached Ps. 1,114 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 15.7% as compared to the same period of 2005. Volume growth accounted for more than 90% of our incremental revenues in the quarter and higher average prices were the balance. Average price per unit case increased by 3.7% to Ps. 33.61 (US$ 3.11) in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, mainly as a result of price increases implemented during the year throughout the region combined with changes in packaging mix towards non-returnable presentations, which carry higher average price per unit case.

Total sales volume in our Central American territories grew 15.1% to 32.7 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005, resulting from incremental volumes in each of our Central American territories. Incremental volumes of brand Coca-Cola accounted for more than 50% of the growth, and flavored carbonated soft drinks and non-carbonated beverages, including bottled water, contributed almost equally to the balance. In the fourth quarter 2006 non-carbonated beverages, excluding non-flavored bottled water, more than double its size from a small base reaching 5.1% of our total sales volume as compared to 2.3% in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Operating Income

Gross profit increased by 12.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005, to Ps. 524 million as a result of operating leverage due to higher revenues. Lower polyethylene terephtalate (“PET”) bottle prices were offset by higher packaging costs coming from a packaging mix shift towards non-returnable presentations, resulting in a gross margin decrease of 150 basis points, from 48.5% in the fourth quarter of 2005 to 47.0%in the same period of 2006.

Our operating income increased 10.7% to Ps. 186 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 driven by higher fixed cost absorption resulting from operating leverage. Our operating margin declined 70 basis points from 17.4% in the fourth quarter of 2005 to 16.7% in the same period of 2006 due to a reduction in the gross margin.

COLOMBIAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Total revenues increased 15.1% to Ps. 1,566 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Higher volumes drove over 80% of this growth, and higher average prices represented the majority of the balance. Our average price per unit case grew 2.4% to Ps. 29.16 (US$ 2.70), as a result of price increases implemented in the previous quarters and a mix shift towards higher average price per unit case products.

Total sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2006 grew 12.3%, as compared to the same period of 2005, to 53.7 million unit cases. Carbonated soft drinks volume growth accounted for over 85% of the incremental volume in the quarter, mainly driven by brand Coca-Cola with non-flavored water accounting for the majority of the balance. Non-carbonated beverages, excluding non-flavored water, increased 40% from a very low base during the quarter.

Operating Income

In spite of cost pressures during the quarter, our gross profit increased 11.1% to Ps. 702 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Cost pressures driven by sugar price increases, more than offset savings resulting from a reduction in PET bottle prices, resulting in a gross margin decline of 160 basis points from 46.4% in the fourth quarter of 2005 to 44.8% in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Operating expenses decreased by 0.9% in absolute terms and declined by 450 basis points as percentage of total revenues, due to operating leverage achieved by higher revenues as compared to the same period of 2005. Operating income increased 38.3% to Ps. 267 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005, resulting in margin improvement of 280 basis points reaching an operating margin of 17.0% .

VENEZUELAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Total revenues from our Venezuelan operations increased 17.1% to Ps. 1,760 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005. Volume growth accounted for the incremental revenues in the quarter. Our average price was Ps. 35.28 (US$ 3.27) in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Total sales volume increased 16.9% to 49.8 million unit cases during the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same quarter of 2005, incremental volumes from carbonated soft drinks accounted for over 90% of the total volume growth. Carbonated soft drinks sales volume increased 18.0% in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005, brand Coca-Cola and flavored carbonated soft drinks each contributed to almost half of the growth. Non-carbonated beverages, excluding non-flavored water, grew more than 40% in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, mainly driven by Nestea, a ready to drink iced-tea.

Operating Income

Gross profit reached Ps. 637 million an increase of 7.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of the previous year. However, our gross margin declined 330 basis points from 39.5% in the fourth quarter of 2005 to 36.2% in the same period of 2006, due to higher sugar prices, salary increases and higher packaging costs due to a shift in packaging mix to non-returnable presentations, which more than offset higher revenues.

Operating income reached Ps. 80 million, an increase of 33.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of the previous year. Higher revenues more than offset increases in operating expenses, and the gross margin decline, resulting in a 50 basis points margin expansion to 4.5% in the fourth quarter of 2006 from 4.0% in the fourth quarter of 2005.

ARGENTINE OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

In Argentina, our total revenues increased 7.0% to Ps. 988 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly driven by a 7.6% sales volume growth. During the quarter our product mix shift towards our premium and core brands, which carry higher average prices per unit case, and together accounted for almost 90% of our total sales volume, resulting in average price per unit case of Ps. 20.50 (US$ 1.90) .

In the fourth quarter of 2006, total sales volume increased 7.6% to 48.0 million unit cases, as compared to the same period of 2005. Incremental volumes from our core and premium carbonated soft drinks more than offset volume decline from the value protection carbonated soft drinks, resulting in a 6.2% volume growth in the quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Sales volume of non-carbonated beverages, excluding non-flavored bottled water, tripled its size during the quarter from a small base reaching 3.3% of our total sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to 1.1% in the same period of the previous year.

Operating Income

Gross profit increased 3.0% to Ps. 381 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Our gross margin declined 150 basis points to 38.6%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, due to higher sweetener costs and labor costs increases.

Operating expenses increased 11.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006 mainly due to higher freight costs and salary expenses. Higher revenues were more than offset by incremental expenses resulting in a decline in operating income of 9.5% to Ps. 133 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compare to the same period of 2005. Our operating income margin decreased 240 basis points to 13.5% .

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 resume 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. Therefore, financial information will not be comparable with previous quarters until the first quarter of 2007, and on a yearly basis, until the end of 2007.

Revenues

Net revenues increased 20.1% to Ps. 2,290 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005. Excluding beer, net revenues increased 5.8% to Ps. 2,017 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005 with volume growth accounting for the majority of the incremental net revenues. Excluding beer, average price per unit case increased 0.6% to Ps. 26.34 (US$ 2.44) during the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by product mix shift towards our core brands, which carry a higher average per unit case prices than our value protection brands. Total revenues from beer were Ps. 273 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Sales volume, excluding beer, increased 5.2% to 76.6 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Carbonated soft drinks sales volume growth accounted for almost 90% of the incremental volumes, driven by the Coca-Cola brand. Non-carbonated beverages, excluding non-flavored bottled water, grew 60%, driven by the introduction of a fruit juice based product under the Minute Maid Mais brand.

Operating Income

In the fourth quarter of 2006, our gross profit increased by 3.7% to Ps. 961 million, as compared to the same period of the previous year, in spite of higher sugar prices year over year, which were partially offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real year over year as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated costs. Gross margin was 41.9% in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Our operating expenses as percentage of total revenues declined from 30.0% in the fourth quarter 2005 to 26.6% in the same period of 2006, due to higher fixed cost absorption driven by incremental revenues. Operating income was Ps. 351 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 3.5% as compared to the same quarter of 2005.

SUMMARY OF FULL-YEAR RESULTS

During 2006, our consolidated revenues increased 6.9% to Ps. 57,738 million, as compared with 2005, as a result of growth in all of our territories. Consolidated average price per unit case remained flat in real terms at Ps. 28.36 (US$ 2.63) during 2006, average price increases in almost all our territories offset price declines in Mexico and Argentina.

Total sales volume increased 5.8% to 1,998.1 million unit cases during 2006, as compared with the same period of the previous year mainly driven by a 6.4% volume growth of brand Coca-Cola, which accounted for almost 70% of our consolidated incremental volumes. Sales volume growth in Mexico and Brazil, excluding beer, accounted for over 55% of our incremental volume. Carbonated soft drink sales volume grew 5.9% to 1,694.7 million unit cases, driven by incremental volume across all of our territories.

Our gross profit increased 4.0% to Ps. 27,542 million in 2006, as compared with the previous year, driven by gross profit growth across all of our territories. Over 45% of this increase came from Brazil and Mexico. Gross margin decreased 130 basis points to 47.7% in 2006 from 49.0% in the same period of 2005, due to a 3.8% increase in our average cost per unit case resulting from increases in our sweetener cost in all of our territories, and higher resin prices in some of our territories.

Our consolidated operating income increased 2.6% to Ps. 9,456 million in 2006, as compared with 2005. Mexico, Colombia and Central America accounted for almost half of our growth. Our operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 16.4% during 2006, mainly due to higher costs per unit case. Excluding the change in the useful life of our coolers in Mexico recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 mentioned above, our consolidated operating income would have increased 1.2% in the year.

Our integral cost of financing decreased 9.9% to Ps. 1,134 million during 2006 as compared to 2005, mainly driven by a reduction in interest expenses, which more than offset a foreign exchange loss resulting from the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar as applied to our net liability position denominated in foreign currency, compared to a gain recorded during 2005.

During 2006, income tax, tax on assets and employee profit sharing as a percentage of income before taxes was 34.0% as compared to 36.0% in 2005. During the year our effective tax rate was benefited by a reduction in the statutory tax rates in some of our operations and the use of tax loss carry forwards, resulting in a reduction in our effective tax rate.

Our consolidated majority net income increased by 2.6% to Ps. 4,883 million in 2006 compared to 2005 driven by (i) higher operating income, (ii) lower interest expenses, and (iii) a reduction in our effective tax rate. Earnings per share (“EPS”) were Ps. 2.64 (US$ 2.45 per ADR) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADR represents 10 local shares).
