Maximilian Zimmermann | Our operations posted strong results for the third quarter of 2007. Our performance displayed the advantages of our balanced, geographically diversified portfolio of assets, with more than 73 percent of our top-line growth coming from our operations outside of Mexico. In Mexico, we have been increasing our profitability; in fact, this is the first quarter in more than a year that we have achieved operating income growth. We, together with the Coca-Cola Company also just launched the public tender offer for Jugos del Valle. This transaction, which we expect to close in November of 2007, will considerably increase our companys position in Latin Americas fast-growing still beverage segment. Looking forward, the overall competitive environment is behaving more rationally, which should bode well for our future performance, said Carlos Salazar Lomelín, Chief Executive Officer of the company. | |||||||||||||

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Our consolidated total revenues increased 6.0% to Ps. 16,701 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to the third quarter of 2006 as a result of increases in all of our territories. Our consolidated average price per unit case increased 1.1% to Ps. 31.07 (US$ 2.84) in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 as a result of higher average price in Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina.
Total sales volume increased 4.9% to 527.7 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006, mainly driven by 5.4% volume growth of the Coca-Cola brand, which accounted for more than 65% of our total incremental volumes during the quarter. Sparkling beverages(1) sales volume grew 4.2% to 444.5 million unit cases, driven by volume growth across most of our territories.
Our gross profit increased 10.3% to Ps. 8,210 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to the third quarter of 2006, driven by increases in all of our operations. Gross margin reached 49.2% in the third quarter of 2007 from 47.3% in the same period of 2006. Lower sweetener costs in Brazil and Colombia in conjunction with lower PET (Polyethylene terephtalate) costs in Mexico more than compensated for higher sweetener costs mainly in Mexico and Argentina.
Our consolidated operating income increased 11.5% to Ps. 2,822 million in the third quarter of 2007. Double-digit increases in operating income in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela more than compensated for the decline in Central America and Argentina. Our operating margin was 16.9% in the third quarter of 2007, an improvement of 80 basis points as a result of higher fixed-cost absorption.
As we mentioned in our first quarter press release, beginning in 2007, pursuant to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards, we recorded employee profit sharing in the other expenses line, instead of recording it in the income tax line. For comparison purposes we are reflecting this change in the 2006 information presented, which amounted to Ps. 117 million in the third quarter of 2006 and Ps. 75 million in the same period of 2007.
Our integral cost of financing in the third quarter of 2007 reached Ps. 1 million as compared to a large gain of Ps. 387 million in the same period of 2006, mainly driven by (i) a less favorable foreign exchange gain resulting from the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar as applied to our liability position denominated in foreign currency, and (ii) a lower inflation rate applied to our net monetary position.
During the third quarter of 2007 income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 28.5%, compared to 27.9% in the same quarter of 2006. The tax rate in the third quarter of 2006 was lower than the same period this year, mainly due to tax credit benefits obtained in some our operations last year.
Our consolidated majority net income increased by 4.8% to Ps. 1,890 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to the third quarter of 2006, an increase in our operating income and lower net interest expenses that more than offset a lower foreign exchange and monetary position gains recorded this quarter compared to the third quarter of 2006. Earnings per share (EPS) were Ps. 1.02 (US$ 0.93 per ADR) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADR represents 10 local shares).

MEXICAN OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues
Total revenues from our Mexican territories increased 3.3% to Ps. 8,261 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Sales volume growth compensated for lower average price per unit case for the quarter. Average price per unit case declined 1.5% to Ps. 28.77 (US$ 2.63), as compared to the third quarter of 2006 mainly driven by incremental volumes from bulk water(1) which carry lower average price per unit case. Excluding bulk water under the brand Ciel, our average price per unit case was Ps. 33.47 (US$ 3.06) a 0.4% decline as compared to the same period of 2006.
Total sales volume increased 4.8% to 286.1 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the third quarter of 2006, resulted from (i) a 3.1% sales volume growth in sparkling beverages, driven by a 4.5% increase in the Coca-Cola brands, (ii) a 12.0% sales volume growth in bulk water, and (iii) incremental volumes in bottled water in single serve presentations. Still beverages(2), excluding bottled water, grew almost 10% in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006, mainly driven by strong volume growth from Powerade, an isotonic beverage and Nestea, a ready-to-drink tea beverage.
Operating Income
Our gross profit increased by 3.6% to Ps. 4,347 million in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. Gross margin increased slightly from 52.5% in the third quarter of 2006 to 52.6% in the same period of 2007, as a result of lower PET (Polyethylene terephtalate) costs year-over-year, which more than compensated for higher cost of sweeteners.
Operating income increased 3.4% to Ps. 1,721 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to Ps. 1,664 million in the same period of 2006 as a result of operating leverage achieved by higher revenues as compared to the same period of 2006. Our operating margin was 20.8% in the third quarter of 2007, in line with that of the third quarter of 2006.

CENTRAL AMERICAN OPERATING RESULTS (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama)
Revenues
Total revenues reached Ps. 1,084 million in the third quarter of 2007, a slight decline of 0.3% compared to the same period of 2006. Volume growth partially offset lower average prices per unit case. Average price per unit case declined by 4.0% to Ps. 35.15 (US$ 3.21) in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the third quarter of 2006, partially as a result of strong volume growth in multi serve presentations, which carry lower average price per unit case.
Total sales volume in our Central American territories grew 3.4% to 30.7 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006, resulting from incremental volumes in the sparkling beverage category, which accounted for more than 55% of the growth; the balance was brought mainly by still beverages, excluding bottled water. In the third quarter of 2007, still beverages, excluding bottled water, increased more than 20% as compared to the same period of 2006 due to strong growth of Hi-C, a juice based product and Powerade, an isotonic beverage.
Operating Income
Gross profit reached Ps. 509 million, an increase of 1.0% in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006, as a result of improved operating leverage due to lower sweetener costs.

Our operating income decreased 9.5% to Ps. 143 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the third quarter of 2006, driven by higher labor costs. Our operating margin reached 13.2% in the third quarter of 2007, a decline of 130 basis points as compared to the same period of 2006.
COLOMBIAN OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues
Total revenues increased 1.6% to Ps. 1,717 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Higher average prices more than compensated a slight decline in sales volume. Our average price per unit case grew 2.0% to Ps. 34.69 (US$ 3.17), as a result of price increases implemented in the last 12 months.
Total sales volume in the third quarter of 2007 declined 0.4%, as compared to the same period of 2006, to 49.5 million unit cases. Volume growth in the Coca-Cola brand combined with growth in bottled water, excluding bulk water, partially offset a volume decline in flavored sparkling beverages. Still beverages, excluding bottled water, increased 6% as a result of the strong growth of Powerade, an isotonic beverage.
Operating Income
Our gross profit increased 14.8% to Ps. 859 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of the previous year. The strong appreciation of the Colombian peso as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated raw materials combined with lower sweetener costs and operating efficiencies, resulted in a gross margin expansion of 570 basis points from 44.3% in the third quarter of 2006 to 50.0% in the third quarter of 2007.
Despite facing tough top line comparables in the previous year, gross profit expansion and stable operating expenses, increased our operating income in Colombia by 38.0% to Ps. 356 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006. Our operating margin reached 20.7% in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 540 basis points as compared to the same period of 2006.

Revenues

Total sales volume increased 8.0% to 51.5 million unit cases during the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same quarter of 2006.

Operating Income
Gross profit reached Ps. 1,015 million, an increase of 38.1% in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of the previous year.

Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 36.0% in the third quarter of 2006 to 37.2% in the same period of 2007, mainly due to higher labor costs.
ARGENTINE OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues
In Argentina, our total revenues reached Ps. 891 million in the third quarter of 2007 as a result of increases in sales volume and better average price per unit case. Average price per unit case reached Ps. 21.59 (US$ 1.97) in the third quarter of 2007, which continues to be the lowest among our territories.
In the third quarter of 2007, total sales volume increased 4.9% to 41.0 million unit cases, as compared to the same period of 2006. Sales volume growth from the Coca-Cola brand in returnable presentations and incremental volumes from the introduction of Coca-Cola Zero, more than compensated for the flavored sparkling beverages sales volume decline of our value protection brand Tai. Sales volume of still beverages, excluding bottled water, increased more than 31%, mainly driven by Cepita, our juice-based brand.
Operating Income
Gross profit increased 7.2% to Ps. 341 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Higher revenues partially compensated for higher sweetener costs, resulting in a gross margin decrease of 130 basis points to 38.3%, as compared to the third quarter of 2006.
Operating expenses increased 17.8% in the third quarter of 2007 mainly due to higher salary expenses and freight costs. Higher revenues partially offset incremental expenses, resulting in a decrease in operating income of 16.2% to Ps. 83 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006. Our operating income margin decreased 300 basis points to 9.3% in the third quarter of 2007.

BRAZILIAN OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues
Net revenues increased 7.1% to Ps. 2,428 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006. Excluding beer, net revenues increased 7.5% to Ps. 2,176 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006, mainly due to volume growth.

Sales volume, excluding beer, increased 7.7% to 68.9 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Sparkling beverages sales volume growth accounted for over 90% of the incremental volumes, mainly driven by the Coca-Cola brand in multi-serve presentations and the introduction of Coca-Cola Zero. Still beverages, excluding bottled water, almost doubled its size from a small base reaching 1.6% of our total sales volume, driven by the introduction of Aquarius, a no-calorie flavored water, combined with strong performance of juice based products under Minute Maid Mais brand.
Operating Income
In the third quarter of 2007, our gross profit increased by 20.8% to Ps. 1,139 million, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Lower average cost per unit case, resulting from (i) the appreciation from the Brazilian Real as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated raw materials, (ii) lower sugar costs and (iii) lower PET bottle costs resulting from better procurement negotiations, contributed to a gross margin improvement of 540 basis points to 46.8% in the third quarter of 2007.
Operating income increased 22.1% reaching Ps. 364 million in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to Ps. 298 million in the same period of 2006. Our operating margin was 14.9% in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 180 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2006, due to an expansion in gross margin that more than compensated (i) expenses related to projects intended to improve go to market execution and the distribution network (ii) incremental marketing expenses partially associated with the introduction of Coca-Cola Zero and other still beverages, and (iii) an increase in sales force due to our focus to strengthen our presence and execution in certain retail segments.

SUMMARY OF NINE-MONTH RESULTS
Our consolidated total revenues increased 7.8% to Ps. 49,236 million in the first nine months of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006, as a result of growth in all of our territories. Venezuela, Mexico and Brazil represented more than 65% of this growth. Consolidated average price per unit case increased 1.8% to Ps. 30.92 (US$ 2.83) in the first nine months of 2007. Higher average prices per unit case for the sparkling beverages portfolio in most of our operations, more than offset incremental volumes of bulk water in Mexico, which carry lower average unit price per unit case.
Total sales volume increased 6.0% to 1,562.4 million unit cases in the first nine months of 2007, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Sales volume growth in Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil accounted for almost 70% of our incremental volumes. Sparkling beverages sales volume grew 5.4% to 1312.6 million cases, driven by incremental volume across all of our territories.
Our gross profit increased 8.6% to Ps. 23,615 million in the first nine months of 2007, as compared to the first nine months of the previous year, driven by revenue growth across all of our territories.
