Carlos Salazar Lomelín, FEMSA’s CEO, commented: “We knew back in April that we would have some calendar tailwinds given the timing of Holy Week, particularly for our OXXO business, and the month did not disappoint. What we did not know back then was that the strong top-line trends would carry through the quarter the way they did. Revenue growth was strong during the quarter, not just for our retail formats but across operations, and reflected a resilient consumer environment in Mexico in spite of rising inflation. On the profitability front, operating leverage at FEMSA Comercio’s Retail Division helped the team expand its operating margin slightly, even as we continued to see pressure from operating expenses. At the Health Division, we again saw a steady South America provide cover for the ongoing work-in-progress of our Mexico operations. And at the Fuel Division, we saw the highest level of margin pressure that we expect to see during the year, driven by a unique set of circumstances, and resulting in a soft set of numbers that does not reflect our expectations for this business going forward.

 

At Coca-Cola FEMSA we are seeing some incipient, encouraging signs that the consumer environment in Brazil is beginning to improve, just in time to begin helping our Mexico operations carry the load. Conditions remained challenging across several markets during the second quarter, and we faced some cost pressures on the sugar front as well, however we believe we are well positioned for an improved performance in the second half of the year.”

 

 

1 Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months. Includes the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines Inc., as if consolidation had taken place in 2016.

As of June 30, 2017  Ps.   US$3 
Cash Balance   51,249    2,835 
Short-term debt   6,682    370 
Long-term debt   121,217    6,706 
Net debt4   76,650    4,240 

 

Total revenues increased 21.4%, reflecting solid growth across all operations including the consolidation of the Philippines and the integration of Vonpar at Coca-Cola FEMSA. On an organic basis,1 total revenues grew 10.7%.

 

Gross profit increased 19.5%. Gross margin decreased 60 basis points, driven by a contraction in Coca-Cola FEMSA’s gross margin, reflecting higher sugar prices in Mexico, and by the growth of lower margin businesses in FEMSA Comercio.

 

Income from operations increased 10.8%. On an organic basis,1 it grew 1.1%. Consolidated operating margin decreased 90 basis points to 9.1% of total revenues, mostly driven by a margin contraction in Coca-Cola FEMSA reflecting higher freight and labor expenses, as well as the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA’s results in the Philippines, and by margin contraction at FEMSA Comercio’s Health and Fuel Divisions.

 

Our effective income tax rate was 26.8% compared to 26.9% in 2Q16. 

 

Net consolidated income increased 4.3%, mainly driven by growth in FEMSA’s income from operations, and an increase in FEMSA’s reported 20% participation in Heineken’s results. As is customary, for 2Q17 we are using Heineken’s 1Q17 net income figure translated at the 2Q17 exchange rate. These effects were partially offset by a foreign exchange loss related to FEMSA’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position, as impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican peso during the quarter, and by an increase in other non-operating expenses at Coca-Cola FEMSA.

 

Net majority income was Ps. 1.30 per FEMSA Unit2 and US$ 0.72 per FEMSA ADS.

 

Capital expenditures amounted to Ps. 5,232 million, reflecting higher investments in FEMSA Comercio’s Retail Division.

 

 

1 Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months. Includes the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines Inc., as if consolidation had taken place in 2016.

2 FEMSA Units consist of FEMSA BD Units and FEMSA B Units. Each FEMSA BD Unit is comprised of one Series B Share, two Series D-B Shares and two Series D-L Shares. Each FEMSA B Unit is comprised of five Series B Shares. The number of FEMSA Units outstanding as of June 30, 2017 was 3,578,226,270, equivalent to the total number of FEMSA Shares outstanding as of the same date, divided by 5.

3 The exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for June 30, 2017 was 18.0760 MXN per USD.

4 Includes the effect of derivative financial instruments on long-term debt.

   2Q17   2Q16   Var. 
Same-stores sales (thousands of Ps.)   803    728    10.3%
Revenues   39,660    34,197    16.0%

Operative Cash Flow (EBITDA)   4,427    3,750    18.1%
Operative Cash Flow (EBITDA) Margin (%)   11.2    11.0    20 bps 

 

 

Total revenues increased 16.0% reflecting the opening of 373 net new OXXO stores in the quarter to reach 1,313 total net new store openings for the last twelve months. As of June 30, 2017, FEMSA Comercio’s Retail Division had a total of 15,774 OXXO stores. OXXO’s same-store sales increased an average of 10.3%, reflecting a strong consumer environment as well as the calendar benefit of the Holy Week shift. This performance was driven by 5.6% growth in average customer ticket and an increase of 4.4% in store traffic.

 

Gross profit increased by 17.7%, resulting in a gross margin expansion of 60 basis points to 37.0% of total revenues, on top of a challenging comparison base. This expansion mainly reflects: i) sustained growth of the services category, including income from financial services, ii) increased and more efficient promotional programs with our key supplier partners, and iii) healthy trends in our commercial income activity.

 

Income from operations increased 18.2%. Operating expenses increased 17.6% to Ps. 11,391 million, above revenues, mainly reflecting: i) a sustained increase in electricity tariffs, ii) our continuing initiative to improve the compensation structure of key in-store personnel, iii) the accelerated pace of store openings during the quarter, which put pressure on operating leverage, and iv) higher fuel costs that impacted distribution costs and secure cash transportation operations. Operating margin increased 10 basis points to 8.2% of total revenues.

Operative Cash Flow (EBITDA) Margin (%)   4.9    5.4    -50 bps 

 

 

Total revenues increased 9.8%, mainly driven by solid growth in our South American operations. As of June 30, 2017 FEMSA Comercio’s Health Division had a total of 2,154 points of sale across our territories, reflecting the addition of 18 net new stores in the quarter to reach 120 total net new store openings for the last twelve months. Same-store sales for drugstores increased by an average of 6.3%, reflecting steady growth trends in South America that more than offset softness in Mexico, where we continued to experience pressure in oil-heavy southeastern markets as well as increased competitive dynamics in certain regions, on top of a difficult comparison base.

 

Gross profit increased by 9.1%, resulting in a gross margin contraction of 20 basis points to 29.2% of total revenues, reflecting an inventory write-off at our operations in Chile.

 

Income from operations increased 0.3%. Operating expenses increased 10.2% to Ps. 3,013 million, ahead of revenues. Operating margin also contracted 20 basis points to 2.9% of total revenues. In Mexico we continued to see higher expenses as we advance in the integration of a single operating platform and continue to build our distribution capabilities, as well as increased services at our stores such as on-site doctors and home delivery. In Chile, we continued to make improvements to the compensation structure for our in-store personnel.

Same-station sales increased an average of 22.6%, as the average price per liter increased by 23.3% reflecting the price increases mentioned above, while the average volume decreased by 0.5%.

 

Gross profit increased by 11.0% resulting in a gross margin contraction of 150 basis points to 6.4% of total revenues, as gross profit per liter remained flat in peso terms compared to the same period in 2016, while the consumer price per liter increased significantly, as described in the preceding paragraph.

 

Income from operations decreased 96.6%. Operating expenses increased 24.0% to Ps. 605 million, below revenues. Operating margin contracted 90 basis points, reflecting the gross margin contraction described in the previous paragraph, partially offset by expense containment and certain operating efficiencies at our service stations.

Net Income   13,307    10,501    26.7%

 

 

Total revenues increased 24.4%, mainly driven by the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines and Vonpar into Coca-Cola FEMSA’s results and by solid growth across all operations. On an organic basis, 1 total revenues increased 13.8%.

 

Gross profit increased 22.2%. Gross margin decreased 70 basis points to 36.2% of total revenues, reflecting a contraction in Coca-Cola FEMSA’s gross margin as a result of higher sugar costs in Mexico, as well as the incorporation and growth of lower margin businesses at FEMSA Comercio.

 

Income from operations increased 15.6%. On an organic basis,1 it increased 3.8%. Our consolidated operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 8.4% of total revenues, reflecting: i) the incorporation of structurally lower-margin results from Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, ii) an operating margin contraction across several businesses, and iii) the integration and faster growth of FEMSA Comercio’s three divisions, whose lower margins tend to compress FEMSA’s consolidated margins over time.

 

Net consolidated income increased 26.7% to Ps. 13,307 million, reflecting growth in our income from operations and higher non-operating income, which more than offset higher financing expenses.

 

Net majority income per FEMSA Unit2 was Ps. 2.30 (US$ 1.28 per ADS).

 

 

1 Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months. Includes the results of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines Inc., as if consolidation had taken place in 2016.

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

 

“In the second quarter, we navigated the market challenges and opportunities of our geographically diversified footprint—delivering revenue and operating income growth of 25.5% and 8.1%, respectively, resulting in majority net income growth of 11.4%.

 

During the quarter, our Mexico and Central America division faced a complex environment of increased inflation and raw material volatility. Nevertheless, this division was able to build on last year’s growth thanks to the deployment of our commercial, distribution, and supply-chain transformational initiatives. These initiatives are already contributing to better route planning, improved point-of-sale execution, and operating expense savings, mitigating pressure on margins. In the face of a complicated consumer environment, our South America division mainly driven by an encouraging Brazil, expanded margins thanks to our relentless focus on efficiency and the outstanding results of our commercial and affordability initiatives. Moreover, our recent consolidation of our operation in the Philippines contributed positively to our consolidated results.

 

For the second half of the year, we will continue leveraging our disciplined approach to capital deployment, while working intensively to expand our portfolio and capitalize on our transformational initiatives to further our goal of becoming a global multi-category beverage leader.” said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Consolidated Results

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 June 30, 2017 of 2,640.00 bolivars per US dollar.

 

Comparable figures:

Revenues: Comparable total revenues grew 1.9% in the second 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 Mexico, offset by volume declines in the rest of our operations.

 

Transactions: The comparable number of transactions declined 3.9%. The sparkling beverage portfolio’s transactions contracted 4.1% driven by most operations, which were partially offset by growth in Argentina. The still beverage category’s transactions decreased by 5.2%, driven mainly by South America, partially offset by growth in the Philippines and Mexico. Water transactions, including bulk water, decreased 7.6% driven by contractions across most operations, which offset growth in Mexico and the Philippines.

 

Volume: Comparable sales volume declined 2.4% in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The sparkling beverage portfolio’s volume contracted 2.5% driven mainly by Brazil, Colombia, Philippines and Central America which offset flat performance in Mexico and Argentina. Still beverage category’s volume decreased 4.3%, driven by Brazil, Colombia, the Philippines and Central America partially offset by growth in Mexico and Argentina. Personal water portfolio’s volume grew 4.3% driven by Mexico and the Philippines, partially offset by declines in South America. Bulk water portfolio’s volume contracted 2.8% driven by South America, offset by flat performance in Mexico and growth in the Philippines.

 

Gross profit: Comparable gross profit grew 3.8%. Our pricing initiatives coupled with lower PET prices offset higher sweetener prices and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of the Mexican Peso, the Argentine Peso, and the Philippine Peso, as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

 

Operating Income: Comparable operating income remained flat for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016.

 

Operating cash flow: Comparable operating cash flow increased 1.3% in the second quarter of 2017.

 

As reported figures

Revenues: Total revenues increased 25.5% to Ps. 50,108 million in the second quarter of 2017 driven by the acquisition of Vonpar in Brazil and the consolidation of our operation in the Philippines, combined with price increases in line or above inflation in key territories such as Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina and supported by the positive translation effect resulting from the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and the Colombian Peso, despite the depreciation of the Argentine Peso, the Philippine Peso and the Venezuelan Bolivar; all as compared to the Mexican Peso.

 

Transactions: Reported total number of transactions increased 33.5% to 6,690.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

 

Volume: Reported total sales volume increased 18.0% to 995.0 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

 

Gross profit: Gross profit grew 23.8% to Ps. 22,825 million and gross margin declined 60 basis points to 45.6%.

 

Equity method: The reported share of the profits of associates and joint ventures recorded a loss of Ps. 35 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a gain of Ps. 211 million recorded in the second quarter of 2016, due mainly to the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc., which is no longer included in the equity method beginning February of this year, coupled with a loss in our dairy joint venture in Panama.

Operating Income: Operating income increased 8.1% to Ps. 6,491 million and operating margin contracted 200 basis points to 13.0%, mainly driven by higher freight expenses, labor costs and 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. We also recorded an additional extraordinary provision related to a settlement agreement reached in Colombia with the Water and Sewerage Company of Bogotá, for an administrative proceeding related to the calculation of public sewer service charges. 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. 1,330 million, compared to Ps. 492 million during the second quarter of 2016, mainly due to negative currency fluctuation effects in our operation in Venezuela.

Comprehensive financing result: Comprehensive financing result in the second quarter of 2017 recorded an expense of Ps. 1,711 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 2,651 million in the same period of 2016.

 

During the second quarter of 2017, we recorded an interest expense of Ps. 2,128 million, compared to Ps. 1,826 million in the second 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 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 the existing Brazilian Real denominated interest expense, and iv) 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 second quarter we recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 139 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 1,241 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.

 

Due to Venezuela, during the second quarter of 2017 we recorded a gain on monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 178 million as compared to Ps. 158 million during the same period of 2016.

 

Market value on financial instruments recorded a loss of Ps. 82 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 115 million in the second quarter of 2016.

 

Income tax: During the second quarter of 2017, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 24.7%, compared to 26.0% in the same period of 2016. The reduction of tax rate in 2017 resulted from certain tax efficiencies across our operations.

 

Net income: Reported consolidated net controlling interest income increased 11.4% to Ps. 2,229 million in the second quarter of 2017, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 1.07 (Ps. 10.68 per ADS).

 

Operating cash flow: Operating cash flow grew 20.7% to Ps. 9,770 million and operating cash flow margin contracted 80 basis points to 19.5%.

Balance Sheet (1)

 

As of June 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of Ps. 24,155 million, including US$ 143 million denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase of Ps. 13,679 million as compared to December 31, 2016. This difference was mainly driven by the proceeds from the issuance of Mexican Peso denominated bonds, the cash obtained from the issuance of shares to former Vonpar shareholders, the consolidation of the Philippines, the payment of the first installment of dividends corresponding to fiscal year 2016, and the net cash flow generation across our territories.

 

As of June 30, 2017, total short-term debt was Ps. 2,050 million and long-term debt was Ps. 85,545 million. Total debt decreased by Ps. 1,314 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. 14,993 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 was 8.97%, a decrease as compared to the first quarter 2017 mainly due to the reduction of interest rates in Brazil. The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of June 30, 2017.

Operating Income: Operating income increased 17.5% to Ps. 12,775 million and operating margin contracted 140 basis points to 12.8% due mainly to an increase in operating expenses. We also recorded an additional extraordinary provision related to a settlement agreement reached in Colombia with the Water and Sewerage Company of Bogotá, for an administrative proceeding related to the calculation of public sewer service charges. These effects were partially offset by an operative foreign exchange gain.

 

Other non-operative expenses, net: Other non-operative expenses, net recorded income of Ps. 1,335 million, compared to expenses of Ps. 768 million during the first six months of 2016, due mainly to income related to the consolidation of Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, which was partially offset by the negative currency fluctuation effects in our operation in Venezuela.

 

Comprehensive financing result: Our comprehensive financing result in the first six months of 2017 recorded an expense of Ps. 3,310 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 3,933 million in the same period of 2016.

 

During the first six months of 2017, we recorded an interest expense of Ps. 4,641 million, compared to Ps. 3,402 million in the first six 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 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 six months we recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 193 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 1,401 million in 2016, which was generated as a result of the depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position in 2016.

 

Due to Venezuela, during the first semester of 2017 we recorded a gain on monetary position in inflationary subsidiaries of Ps. 424 million as compared to Ps. 215 million during the same period of 2016.

 

Market value on financial instruments recorded a gain of Ps. 352 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 six months of 2017, reported income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 17.4%, compared to 26.0% 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.

 

Net income: Reported consolidated net controlling interest income increased 91.6% to Ps. 8,413 million in the first six months of 2017, resulting in reported earnings per share (EPS) of Ps. 4.04 (Ps. 40.41 per ADS).

 

Operating cash flow: Operating cash flow grew 26.3% to Ps. 19,000 million and operating cash flow margin contracted 60 basis points to 19.0%.

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 first quarter 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, Earnings per share for the quarter were computed based on 2,090.4 million shares as the weighted average of the Company’s outstanding shares over the period. For year to date, weighted average outstanding shares were 2,081.7 million. At the end of June, total outstanding shares are 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.
