2016 SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST SIX MONTHS RESULTS

Mexico City, July 27 2016, 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 by sales volume, announces results for the second quarter of 2016.

·         Comparable revenues grew 9.1% for the second quarter of 2016.

·         Comparable operating income grew 12.0% for the second quarter of 2016, with a margin expansion of 40 basis points.

·         Comparable operating cash flow grew 12.5% for the second quarter of 2016, expanding 60 basis points to 20.7%.

·         Comparable earnings per share reached Ps. 1.06 in the second quarter of 2016.

“Our operating and financial discipline, coupled with our company’s balanced geographic footprint, drove solid top- and bottom-line results for the quarter. As transactions continued to outperform volumes, we maintained share gains in key markets such as Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. We also leveraged our pricing flexibility to deliver comparable revenue and EBITDA growth of 9% and 13%, respectively—expanding margins despite ongoing currency volatility and a very challenging consumer environment in South America.

We carry on creating opportunities to further our growth across our operations. In Venezuela, despite a complex sugar supply environment, we are reinforcing our non-caloric sparkling beverage portfolio to continue providing appealing beverage alternatives for our consumers. In the Philippines, we continue to achieve double-digit transaction and volume growth, while improving this franchise’s profitability. Moreover, through our centers of excellence, we are accelerating the transformation of our operating models—highlighted by the initial rollout of our KOFmmercial Digital Platform in Mexico.

We are very enthusiastic that we reached a new, broad cooperation framework with our partner, The Coca-Cola Company. This framework aims to maintain a mutually beneficial business relationship over the long term, allowing both companies to focus on continuing to drive the business and generate profitable growth going forward. As we establish the long-term guidelines for our economic relationship, including adjustments to concentrate prices of sparkling beverages over a three-year period in Mexico, we are ready to capture the next wave of inorganic growth through an understanding to assess, on a preferred basis, the acquisition of specific territories within KO’s Bottling Investments Group in Latin America, the United States, and other regions—ultimately enabling Coca-Cola FEMSA to consolidate its position as a truly diversified multicultural, multi-category global leader,” said John Santa Maria, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

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 and (iii) the results of hyperinflationary economies in both periods. 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 June 30, 2016 of 628.3434 bolivars per US dollar.

Comparable figures:

Revenues: Comparable total revenues grew 9.1% to Ps. 38,536 million driven by average price per unit case growth across most of our operations and volume growth in Mexico and Central America.

Transactions: The comparable number of transactions outpaced volume growth, increasing 5.3% to 4,835.4 million. Transactions of our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 4.6% driven by the positive performance of Mexico, which increased 8.4%, Central America which grew 6.3% and Brazil, which grew 1.5%. Transactions of water, including bulk water, grew 10.1% driven by the performance of Mexico, Colombia, Central America and Argentina. Our still beverage category increased transactions by 7.2%, mainly driven by Mexico, Colombia, and Central America.

Volume: Comparable sales volume grew 2.6% to 809.7 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 1.3% mainly driven by Mexico and Central America, which offset a contraction in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia. Volume of our bottled water portfolio increased 13.0% driven by Ciel and Ciel Exprim in Mexico, Brisa in Colombia, and Bonaqua in Argentina. Our still beverage category increased 8.6% mainly driven by Vallefrut orangeade, del Valle juice, FUZE tea and Santa Clara. Volume of our bulk water portfolio increased 2.5% mainly driven by growth of Ciel in Mexico, Kin in Argentina and Crystal in Brazil, which offset a decline of Brisa bulk water in Colombia.

Gross profit: Comparable gross profit grew 7.2% to Ps. 18,037 million with a gross margin contraction of 80 basis points in the period. In local currency, the benefit of lower PET prices, in combination with our currency hedging strategy, was offset by higher price of sugar and the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Argentine Peso, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

Other operative expenses: On a comparable basis, during the second quarter of 2016, the other operative expenses net line recorded an expense of Ps. 49 million, which compares to an expense of Ps. 186 million during the second quarter of 2015.

Equity method: The comparable reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures line recorded a gain of Ps. 211 million in the second quarter of 2016, which compares to a gain of Ps. 179 million recorded in the second quarter of 2015, mainly due to a positive contribution of our stake in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., which compensated for a loss in the equity method from our participation in our non-carbonated beverage joint-venture in Brazil.

Operating Income: Comparable operating income grew 12.0% to Ps. 6,098 million with a 40 basis points margin expansion, reaching 15.8% in the second quarter of 2016.

Operating cash flow: Comparable operating cash flow grew 12.5% to Ps. 7,989 million with a margin expansion of 60 basis points to 20.7% in the second quarter of 2016.

Comprehensive financing results: Our comparable comprehensive financing result in the second quarter of 2016 recorded an expense of Ps. 2,815 million, as compared to an expense of Ps. 1,569 million in the same period of 2015. The difference was mainly driven by (i) a foreign exchange loss as a result of the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position and (ii) higher interest expenses in Mexican pesos, mainly driven by the effect of the depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our interest payments denominated in U.S. dollars and Brazilian reals.

Income tax: During the second quarter of 2016, comparable income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 26.3% as compared to 31.3% in the same period of 2015. The lower tax rate in 2016 resulted from (i) certain tax efficiencies across our operations, (ii) a lower effective tax rate in Colombia and (iii) ongoing efforts to reduce non-deductible items across our operations.

Net income: Comparable net controlling interest income declined 12.7% to Ps. 2,205 million in the second quarter of 2016, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.06 (Ps. 10.64 per ADS).

This difference was mainly driven by debt and interest payments, the payment of the first installment of the dividend in the amount of Ps. 3,462 million and negative currency translation effects, net of the cash flow generation across our territories.

As of June 30, 2016, total short-term debt was Ps. 3,355 million and long-term debt was Ps. 68,020 million. Total debt increased by Ps. 4,645 million, compared to year end 2015 mainly due to the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of the end of period exchange rate of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated debt position. Net debt increased by Ps. 4,988 million compared to year end 2015.

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter, including the effect of debt swapped to Brazilian reals at a floating rate, was 9.1%. The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of June 30, 2016.

·         KOF and The Coca-Cola Company (KO) have reached a new, broad cooperation framework. This cooperation framework seeks to maintain a mutually beneficial business relationship over the long-term, which will allow both companies to focus on continuing to drive the business forward and generating profitable growth; and contemplates the following main objectives:

o   Long term guidelines to the relationship economics: concentrate prices for sparkling beverages in Mexico will gradually increase over a 3-year period beginning in July 2017.  Based on our internal estimates for revenues and sales volume mix, we currently expect the incremental annual cost in Mexico, on an annualized basis, to be approximately US$35 million for the years 2017, 2018, and 2019.

o   Both companies are committed to implement marketing and commercial strategies, and productivity programs to maximize their profitability. KOF is confident that these initiatives will mitigate the effects of concentrate price adjustments.

o   Potential future concentrate price adjustments for sparkling beverages and flavored water in Mexico, will consider investment and profitability levels that are beneficial to the business of KOF and KO. 

·         The Coca-Cola Company also recognizes Coca-Cola FEMSA’s strong operating model and execution capabilities. With respect to KO’s Bottling Investments Group territories it may divest in the future, we have reached an understanding with KO to assess, on a preferred basis, the acquisition of specific territories in Latin America, the United States and other regions.
