2015 FIRST - QUARTER RESULTS

 

Mexico City April 29, 2015, 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 first quarter of 2015:

·         Currency neutral revenues grew 5.5% for the first quarter of 2015, excluding Venezuela.

·         Currency neutral operative cash flow, excluding Venezuela, grew 9.1% for the first quarter of 2015 with a margin expansion of 60 basis points.

·         Currency neutral earnings per share, excluding Venezuela, grew 13.3% to Ps. 1.03 in the first quarter of 2015. Our reported Earnings per Share reached Ps. 1.06 in the first quarter of 2015.

Due to the ongoing volatility of operating and macroeconomic conditions in Venezuela, starting the first quarter of 2015, we have decided to use the SIMADI exchange rate to translate our Venezuelan operating results into our reporting currency, the Mexican peso. As of March 31, 2015 the exchange rate of SIMADI was 192.95 bolivars per US dollar. Consequently, Venezuela’s contribution to our consolidated results reduced importantly and now represents 7% of volume and 2% of both revenues and operative cash flow. In light of this adjustment, and in order to provide the reader with a better representation of our company's financial performance, we are including performance indicators that exclude the results of our Venezuelan operation in both periods and are presented on a currency neutral basis to exclude translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements.

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

“We are pleased with the performance of our operations during the first quarter of the year.  Despite a slight contraction in our consolidated volume driven by a continued difficult economic and consumer environment in Mexico and Brazil, we gained or maintained market share in the sparkling beverage category across our operations.  Thanks to our robust packaging portfolio and reinforced point-of-sale execution, our consumer transactions outperformed our volumes for the quarter. Moreover, our revenue management initiatives, coupled with our operating and financial discipline, enabled us to deliver comparable, currency-neutral top- and bottom-line line growth with a healthy EBITDA margin expansion in most of our operations and growth in earnings per share. Going forward, we will continue to transform our management and operating models, while investing in our operations' infrastructure, as exemplified by our new state-of-the-art bottling plant in Colombia, which commenced operations during the quarter,” said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Consolidated Results

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

Starting on February 2013, we are incorporating our stake of the results of Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. through the equity method on an estimated basis.

The first quarter of 2015 results of our Venezuelan operation were translated using the SIMADI exchange rate of 192.95 bolivars per U.S. dollar.

 

Our reported total revenues decreased 11.2% to Ps. 34,374 million in the first quarter of 2015, mainly driven by the negative translation effect resulting from using the SIMADI exchange rate to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation and the devaluation of the Brazilian real and the Colombian peso. Excluding Venezuela, total revenues grew 3.2% as compared to the same period of the previous year, reaching Ps. 33,604 million. On a currency neutral basis, and excluding Venezuela, total revenues grew 5.5%, driven by average price per unit case growth across our territories and volume growth in Colombia, Central America and Argentina.

Reported total sales volume decreased 1.0% to 811.1 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, driven by volume declines in Brazil and Mexico. Our sparkling beverage portfolio decreased 0.6%, mainly driven by declines in Brazil and Argentina, which were partially offset by growth of brand Coca-Cola in Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia and growth of flavored sparkling beverages across our territories. Volume of our bottled water portfolio increased 4.5% driven by Manantial in Colombia, and Aquarius and Bonaqua in Argentina. Our still beverage category declined 1.9% and volume of our bulk water portfolio decreased 7.2%. The total number of transactions surpassed 4.6 billion, outperforming the volume decline.

Our reported gross profit decreased 12.0% to Ps. 15,758 million and gross margin reached 45.8% in the first quarter of 2015. This decline was mainly driven by the negative translation effect from using the SIMADI exchange rate to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation. Excluding Venezuela, gross profit grew 4.1% to Ps. 15,376 million with a gross margin expansion of 40 basis points in the period. In local currency, the benefit of lower sweetener and PET prices in most of our territories was partially offset by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of Mexican Peso, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and the Argentine Peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

Our reported operating income declined 6.3% to Ps. 4,504 million with an operating margin expansion of 70 basis points. This decline was mainly driven by the previously mentioned negative translation effects. Excluding Venezuela, operating income increased 8.5% to Ps. 4,435 million with a margin expansion of 60 basis points to reach 13.2% in the first quarter of 2015. On a currency neutral basis, and excluding Venezuela, operating income grew 10.6%. On the same basis, operating expenses, as a percentage of revenues, contracted in most of our operations.

 

During the first quarter of 2015, the other operative expenses, net line recorded an expense of Ps. 222 million, mainly due to negative operating currency fluctuation effects across our territories and certain restructuring charges.

 

The share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line recorded a gain of Ps. 12 million in the first quarter of 2015, mainly due to equity method gains from our participation in Mexico’s and Brazil’s non-carbonated beverage joint-ventures, which were partially compensated by an equity method loss from our stake in Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc.

 

Reported operative cash flow decreased 6.0% to Ps. 6,358 million and operating cash flow margin expanded 100 basis points to reach 18.5% in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding Venezuela, operative cash flow grew 7.1% to Ps. 6,210 million with an operative cash flow margin expansion of 70 basis points as compared to the same period of the previous year. On a currency neutral basis, and excluding Venezuela, operative cash flow grew 9.1%.

Our comprehensive financing result in the first quarter of 2015 recorded an expense of Ps. 1,381 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 1,221 million in the same period of 2014. During the quarter we registered a foreign exchange loss as a result of the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our US dollar-denominated net debt position.

During the first quarter of 2015, income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 30.4% as compared to 33.8% in the same period of 2014. The lower effective tax rate registered during the first quarter of 2015 was mainly driven by a smaller contribution from our Venezuela subsidiary, which carries a higher effective tax rate.

Our reported consolidated net controlling interest income was Ps. 2,194 million in the first quarter of 2015, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.06 (Ps. 10.58 per ADS), computed on the basis 2,072.9 million shares (each ADS represents 10 local shares). On a currency neutral basis, and excluding Venezuela, consolidated net controlling interest income grew 13.3% reaching Ps. 2,142 million in the first quarter of 2015, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.03 (Ps. 10.33 per ADS).

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2015, we had a cash balance of Ps. 13,378 million, including US$519 million denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase of Ps. 420 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 as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated cash position.

As of March 31, 2015, total short-term debt was Ps. 1,348 million and long-term debt was Ps. 66,078 million. Total debt increased by Ps. 1,399 million, compared to year end 2014 mainly due to the negative 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 increased Ps. 979 million compared to year end 2014, as a result of the previously mentioned depreciation effect of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated debt position.

 

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter was 8.1%. The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of March 31, 2015.

Mexico & Central America Division

(Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama)

For reporting purposes, all corporate expenses, including the equity method recorded from our stake of the results of Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc., are included in the results of the Mexico and Central America division.

Reported total revenues from our Mexico and Central America division increased 4.8% to Ps. 17,036 million in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, driven by average price per unit case increases in both Mexico and Central America. Our average price per unit case, which is presented net of taxes, grew 5.1%, reaching Ps. 38.72. On a currency neutral basis, total revenues in the division increased 3.1%.

 

Reported total sales volume decreased 0.3% to 439.8 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the first quarter of 2014. The 0.9% volume contraction in Mexico was partially compensated by the 5.8% volume increase in Central America, including a 10.9% increase in Nicaragua and 8.2% volume growth in Guatemala. Our sparkling beverage category increased 1.5% driven by growth of brand Coca-Cola across all countries in the region. Our personal water portfolio remained flat. Our still beverage category decreased 5.2% and our bulk water portfolio decreased 7.4%. Transactions for the Mexico and Central America division outpaced volume performance by close to 1 percentage point and totaled more than 2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2015.

 

Our reported gross profit increased 5.6% to Ps. 8,555 million in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Lower PET and fructose prices in the division were partially offset by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of most of our division’s currencies(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. Reported gross margin reached 50.2% in the first quarter of 2015, an expansion of 40 basis points as compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

Reported operating income(2) increased 8.1% to Ps. 2,389 million in the first quarter of 2015. Our reported operating margin expanded 40 basis points to reach 14.0% in the first quarter of 2015. Our operating expenses in the division grew only 3.7%, as result of the strict expense control implemented across these operations.

 

Reported operative cash flow grew 9.1% to Ps. 3,574 million in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Our reported operative cash flow margin was 21.0%, an expansion of 90 basis points.

South America Division

(Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina)

The first quarter of 2015 results of our Venezuelan operation were translated using the SIMADI exchange rate of 192.95 bolivars per U.S. dollar.

 

Reported total revenues decreased 22.8% to Ps. 17,338 million in the first quarter of 2015, mainly driven by the negative translation effect that resulted from using the SIMADI exchange rate to translate the results of our Venezuelan operation and the devaluation of the Brazilian real and the Colombian peso. Revenues of beer in Brazil accounted for Ps. 1,890 million in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding Venezuela, total revenues grew 1.6%, reaching Ps. 16,568 million. On a currency neutral basis, and excluding Venezuela, total revenues grew 7.9%, driven by average price per unit case growth across our territories and volume growth in Colombia and Argentina.

 

Reported total sales volume in our South America division decreased 1.7% to 371.3 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014. Our water category, including bulk water, grew 4.9% driven by Aquarius and Bonaqua in Argentina and Manantial in Colombia. The still beverage category grew 1.6% favored by the performance of Del Valle Fresh in Colombia, and Powerade and Cepita in Argentina. Our sparkling beverage category decreased 2.7%, driven by a decline in Brazil, which was partially offset by growth of brand Coca-Cola in Venezuela and Colombia and growth of flavored sparkling beverages in Colombia and Argentina. Transactions performance was in line with volume performance, totaling more than 2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2015.

 

Reported gross profit decreased 26.5% to Ps. 7,202 million in the first quarter of 2015 and gross profit margin reached 41.5%. This decline was mainly driven by the negative translation effect of using the SIMADI exchange rate in Venezuela. Excluding Venezuela, gross profit grew 2.2% to Ps. 6,821 million, with a margin expansion of 30 basis points. Lower sweetener and PET prices in most of our territories were partially compensated by the depreciation of the average exchange rate of most of the currencies in our South America division(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

 

Our reported operating income decreased 18.6% to Ps. 2,115 million in the first quarter of 2015, resulting in a margin expansion of 60 basis points to 12.2%. This decline was mainly driven by the previously mentioned negative translation effect. Excluding Venezuela, operating income grew 9.0% to Ps. 2,045 million, with a margin expansion of 80 basis points as compared to the same period of the previous year. On a currency neutral basis, and excluding Venezuela, operating income grew 16.0%. On the same basis, operating expenses, as percentage of revenues, contracted in most of our operations.

 

Reported operative cash flow decreased 20.3% to reach Ps. 2,784 million in the first quarter of 2015, resulting in a margin expansion of 50 basis points to 16.1%. This decline was mainly driven by the previously mentioned negative translation effect. Excluding Venezuela, the operative cash flow increased 4.4% to Ps. 2,635 million, reaching an operative cash flow margin of 15.9%, an expansion of 40 basis points as compared to the same period of 2014. On a currency neutral basis, and excluding Venezuela, operative cash flow grew 11.4%.

Philippines Operation

For the first quarter of 2015, volume increased almost 2% and revenue grew 14%, as compared to the same period of 2014. Supported by the success of our one way PET single serve alternatives, volume of core sparkling beverages grew 9%, driven by the performance of Sprite and Royal (Fanta), which grew volumes 26% and 36%, respectively. We continue to roll out our new commercial model across the country with encouraging results in volume, revenue and share performance.

 

Recent developments

·         Starting the first quarter of 2015, Coca-Cola FEMSA has decided to adopt the SIMADI (Sistema Marginal de Divisas) exchange rate to translate its Venezuelan operation’s results into its reporting currency, the Mexican peso. As of march 31, 2015, this exchange rate was 192.95 bolivars per U.S. dollar. We recognized in the cumulative translation account in our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015, a reduction in equity of Ps. 2,791 million as a result of the valuation of our net investment in Venezuela using the SIMADI exchange rate. Consequently, as of March 31, 2015, our foreign direct investment in Venezuela was Ps. 1,234 million (at the SIMADI exchange rate of 192.95 bolivars per U.S. dollar). As of April 28, 2015, the SIMADI exchange rate was 197.62 bolivars per U.S. dollar.

 

·         On March 12, 2015, Coca-Cola FEMSA held its Annual Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting during which its shareholders approved the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, the annual report presented by the Board of Directors, the declaration of dividends corresponding to fiscal year 2014 and the composition of the Board of Directors and the Finance and Planning, Audit, and Corporate Practices Committees for 2015. Shareholders approved the payment of a cash dividend in the amount of Ps. 6,405 million, or the equivalent of Ps. 3.09 per share, to be paid in two equal installments as of May 5, 2015 and November 3, 2015.
