FEMSA Reports 2Q10 Continuing Operations
Revenue Growth of 8.1%

 
Monterrey, Mexico, July 26, 2010 — Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (“FEMSA”) announced today its operational and financial results for the second quarter of 2010.

 
Second Quarter 2010 Highlights:

·
FEMSA comparable consolidated total revenues and income from operations grew 8.1% and 5.9%, respectively, compared to the second quarter 2009, in spite of a still-challenging economic environment.   Excluding one-time Heineken transaction related expenses, comparable consolidated income from operations would have grown 11.0%.

·
Coca-Cola FEMSA total revenues and income from operations increased 4.1% and 11.2% respectively. Double-digit income from operations growth in Latincentro and Mercosur divisions drove these results.

·
FEMSA Comercio achieved a new milestone by opening over 1,000 net new stores in the last twelve months. Consolidated total revenues and income from operations increased 16.4% and 15.8%.

·
FEMSA closed its strategic transaction with Heineken during the second quarter of 2010. FEMSA’s consolidated results presented herein reflect the corresponding effects.

José Antonio Fernández Carbajal, Chairman and CEO of FEMSA, commented: “While most macroeconomic data seems to indicate that the worst of the economic crisis has passed in Mexico, the consumer is only gradually reflecting a more bullish behavior, reflected in robust revenue trends at Coca-Cola FEMSA’s Mexico division as well as at FEMSA Comercio, even against tough comparison bases from last year. The Mercosur division of Coca-Cola FEMSA continued to be the standout volume performer, combining dynamic economic trends with our operators’ continued ability to pursue and capture opportunities. And so, halfway into the year our diversified platform and our team’s strong execution again allowed us to deliver a solid set of operating results. As you know, during the second quarter we consummated our transaction with Heineken, and we are filled with enthusiasm as we embark on a new stage in the history of our Company.”



 
 

 


FEMSA Consolidated

On April 30, 2010, FEMSA announced the closing of the strategic transaction pursuant to which FEMSA agreed to exchange 100% of its beer operations for a 20% economic interest in the Heineken Group (“the transaction”). For more information regarding this acquisition, please refer to the transaction filings available in www.femsa.com/investor. FEMSA’s consolidated results for the second quarter and for the first half of 2010 reflect the transaction effects and are presented on a comparable basis.

Comparable total revenues increased 8.1% compared to 2Q09 to Ps. 41.899 billion. FEMSA Comercio accounted for more than 70% of the incremental consolidated revenues, while Coca-Cola FEMSA provided the balance. For the first half of 2010, comparable consolidated total revenues increased 9.3% to Ps. 80.642 billion.

Comparable gross profit increased 7.1% compared to 2Q09 to Ps.17.541 billion in 2Q10. Gross margin decreased 40 basis points compared to the same period in 2009 to 41.9% of total revenues. Gross profit improvement at FEMSA Comercio partially compensated cost pressure at Coca-Cola FEMSA, where gross margin was impacted largely by year-over-year increases in sweetener costs.

For the first half of 2010, comparable gross profit increased 8.0% to Ps. 33.224 billion. Gross margin decreased 50 basis points compared to the same period in 2009 to 41.2% of total revenues. As was the case during the second quarter of 2010, FEMSA Comercio’s gross profit improvement partially offset raw-material-driven cost pressures at Coca-Cola FEMSA.

Comparable income from operations increased 5.9% to Ps. 5.331 billion in 2Q10 as compared to the same period in 2009. Consolidated operating margin decreased 30 basis points compared to 2Q09 to 12.7% of total revenues, driven by pressure on the gross margin as well as by one-time expenses related to the Heineken transaction.

For the first half of 2010, comparable income from operations increased 8.8% to Ps. 9.764 billion. Our consolidated operating margin year-to-date was 12.1% as a percentage of total revenues, a decrease of 10 basis points as compared to the same period of 2009, mainly due to raw material pressures at Coca-Cola FEMSA.

Net income from continuing operations increased 29.7% compared to 2Q09 to Ps. 3.795 billion in 2Q10, reflecting the fact that this line includes an estimate for two months of FEMSA’s 20% participation in Heineken’s first quarter 2010 net income.  The figures also reflect growth in comparable income from operations as well as a decrease in other expenses, which offset a higher integral result of financing during the quarter. This increase in integral result of financing resulted mostly from a positive comparison base during the same period of 2009. The effective income tax rate on continuing operations was 24.5% in 2Q10 compared to 30.1% in 2Q09, as the inclusion of the participation in Heineken’s estimated first quarter 2010 net income is shown net of taxes.

For the first half of 2010, net income for continuing operations increased 43.2% to Ps. 6.423 billion compared to the same period of 2009, primarily as a result of the combination of (i) growth in income from operations (ii) a lower integral result of financing during the period and (iii) the inclusion of an estimate for two months of FEMSA’s 20% participation in Heineken’s first quarter 2010 net income.

Gain from transaction with Heineken amounted to Ps. 26.465 billion in 2Q10, reflecting the difference between the market value of Heineken shares (20% equity interest) at the closing of the transaction and the book value of FEMSA’s beer operations as of the same date, net of transaction tax.

Net income from FEMSA’s former beer operations amounted to Ps. 216 million in 2Q10, reflecting the net income of FEMSA’s beer operations for the month of April 2010. For the first half of 2010, net income from beer operations amounted to Ps. 706 million, reflecting the net income of FEMSA’s beer operations for the first four months of 2010.

Net consolidated income amounted to Ps. 30.476 billion in 2Q10, reflecting the transaction-related effects as described above as well as the double-digit increase in FEMSA’s net income from continuing operations. Net majority income for 2Q10 resulted in Ps. 8.16 per FEMSA Unit1. Net majority income per FEMSA ADS was US$ 6.36 for the quarter. For the first half of 2010, net majority income per FEMSA Unit1 was Ps. 8.73 (US$ 6.80 per ADS).
  
Capital expenditures increased to Ps. 2.661 billion in 2Q10, driven by higher manufacturing investments at Coca-Cola FEMSA and the incremental investments in FEMSA Comercio related to store expansion.
  
Our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, recorded a cash balance of Ps. 22.828 billion (US$ 1.779 billion), an increase of Ps. 5.693 billion (US$ 443.7 million) compared to the same period in 2009. Short-term debt was Ps. 2.798 billion (US$ 218.1 million), while long-term debt was Ps. 20.522 billion (US$ 1.599 billion). Our net debt balance was Ps. 492 million (US$ 38.4 million).

Coca-Cola FEMSA’s financial results and discussion are incorporated by reference from Coca-Cola FEMSA’s press release, which is attached to this press release or visit www.coca-colafemsa.com.
 
FEMSA Comercio

Total revenues increased 16.4% compared to 2Q09 to Ps. 15.774 billion in 2Q10 mainly driven by the opening of 339 net new stores in the quarter, reaching a new milestone of 1,020 total net new store openings in the last twelve months. As of June 30, 2010, FEMSA Comercio had a total of 7,831 convenience stores in Mexico, slightly ahead of schedule relative to the objective for the year. Same-store sales increased an average of 5.2% for the quarter over 2Q09, driven by a 5.6% increase in store traffic which offset the 0.4% decrease in the average customer ticket. During the quarter, the same-store sales, ticket and traffic dynamics continued to reflect a small effect from the mix shift from physical prepaid wireless air-time cards to the sale of electronic air-time, for which only the margin is recorded, not the full amount of the electronic recharge. On a comparable basis excluding this change, the average ticket would have grown slightly in 2Q10.

For the first half of 2010, total revenues increased 15.4% to Ps. 29.259 billion. FEMSA Comercio´s same-store sales increased an average of 4.2%, driven by a 4.1% increase in store traffic, which still reflects a small effect from the mix shift from physical prepaid wireless air-time cards to the sale of electronic air-time, as described above.

Gross profit increased by 20.9% in 2Q10 compared to 2Q09, resulting in a 120 basis point gross margin expansion to reach 33.1% of total revenues. This increase reflects a positive mix shift due to the growth of higher margin categories, a more effective collaboration and execution with our key supplier partners combined with a more efficient use of promotion-related marketing resources, and to a lesser extent, the continued mix shift towards electronic air-time recharges as described above. For the first half of 2010, gross margin expanded by 100 basis points to 32.1% of total revenues.

Income from operations increased 15.8% over 2Q09 to Ps. 1.260 billion in 2Q10. Operating expenses increased 22.7% to Ps. 3.966 billion, largely driven by the growing number of stores as well as by incremental expenses such as (i) higher utility tariffs at the store level, (ii) the strengthening of FEMSA Comercio’s organizational structure, particularly IT-related, which was deferred last year in response to the challenging economic environment that prevailed in Mexico, (iii) increased marketing to drive the momentum of certain emerging categories, particularly Daily and Replenishment, and (iv) one-time expenses related to the Mexicali earthquake in April.  As a result, operating margin remained stable from 2Q09 at 8.0% of total revenues. For the first half of 2010, income from operations increased 19.8% to Ps. 1.879 billion, resulting in an operating margin of 6.4%, a 20 basis point expansion from the prior year.

    Consolidated operating income grew 11.2% to Ps. 4,088 million for the second quarter of 2010, driven by operating income growth recorded in every division. Our operating margin was 16.2% in the second quarter of 2010.
    Consolidated net controlling interest income increased 14.8% to Ps. 2,480 million in the second quarter of 2010, mainly reflecting higher operating income, resulting in earnings per share of Ps. 1.34 in the second quarter of 2010.
                                               
Mexico City (July 23, 2010), Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL, NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA” or the “Company”), the largest Coca-Cola bottler in Latin America in terms of sales volume, announces results for the second quarter of 2010.
                                               
"Despite recent global economic volatility, our geographically balanced portfolio of franchise territories across Latin America delivered strong results for the quarter. Our Mexico and Mercosur divisions achieved significant top-line growth, driven by solid volume growth and tactical price increases implemented throughout our operations. Demonstrating its continued strength and consumer popularity throughout our territories, the Coca-Cola brand made a substantial contribution to our Company’s incremental volumes. We are pleased to serve a growing base of customers and consumers in one of the best markets in which to sell beverages worldwide, Latin America. During the quarter, we paid our shareholders a dividend of Ps. 2,612 million, an important increase over the preceding year—which extended our track record of rising dividend payments to seven years in a row. We believe that our Company has the right tools, talents, and capabilities to continue driving successfully our business going forward." said Carlos Salazar Lomelin, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Our consolidated total revenues increased 4.1% to Ps. 25,177 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to the second quarter of 2009 despite the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. On a currency neutral basis and excluding the acquisition of Brisa in Colombia, total revenues grew approximately 16%, driven by growth in both volumes and pricing.

Total sales volume increased 4.4% to reach 633.8 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of (i) increases in sparkling beverages, mainly due to a 6% increase in the Coca-Cola brand across our territories, accounting for close to 65% of incremental volumes, (ii) our bottled water business, driven by the acquisition of Brisa in Colombia, representing more than 20% of incremental volumes, and (iii) still beverages sales volume, supported by the Jugos del Valle line of business across our territories, accounting for approximately 15% of incremental sales volume. Excluding Brisa, total sales volume increased 3.2%.

Our gross profit increased 2.0% to Ps. 11,655 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to the second quarter of 2009. Cost of goods sold increased 6.0%, mainly driven by higher year-over-year sweetener costs across our territories, which were partially offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real,(1) the Colombian peso(1) and the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost. Gross margin reached 46.3% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to 47.3% in the same period in 2009.

Our consolidated operating income increased 11.2% to Ps. 4,088 million in the second quarter of 2010, driven by operating income growth across all divisions. Operating expenses decreased 2.4% in the second quarter of 2010 mainly as a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. In local currency, operating expenses grew mainly as a result of (i) continued marketing investment in our Mexico division to support our execution in the marketplace, widen our cooler coverage and broaden our returnable base availability, (ii) marketing expenses in the Latincentro division, due to the integration of the Brisa portfolio in Colombia and the continued expansion of the Jugos del Valle line of business in Colombia and Central America, (iii) higher labor and freight costs in Argentina and (iv) higher labor costs in Venezuela. Our operating margin was 16.2% in the second quarter of 2010, an expansion of 100 basis points compared to the same period in 2009.

During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded Ps. 248 million in the other expense line. These expenses mainly reflected the recording of employee profit sharing.

Our comprehensive financing result in the second quarter of 2010 recorded an expense of Ps. 364 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 23 million in the same period of 2009, mainly driven by a foreign exchange loss generated by the depreciation of the Mexican peso within the quarter, as applied to our dollar-denominated net debt position.

During the second quarter of 2010, income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 25.8% compared to 29.9% in the same period of 2009. This difference was mainly driven by the cancellation of a provision during the second quarter of 2010, which had been recorded in excess during 2009.

Our consolidated net controlling interest income(2) increased by 14.8% to Ps. 2,480 million in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009, mainly as a result of higher operating income. Earnings per share (EPS) in the second quarter of 2010 were Ps. 1.34 (Ps. 13.43 per ADS) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADS represents 10 local shares).

BALANCE SHEET
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had a cash balance of Ps. 9,382 million, including US$ 492 million denominated in U.S. dollars, a decrease of Ps. 572 million compared to December 31, 2009, mainly as a result of debt and dividend payments made during the first half and net of the cash generated by our operations.
 
As of June 30, 2010, total short-term debt was Ps. 1,298 million and long-term debt was Ps. 14,524 million. Total debt decreased by Ps. 103 million compared with year-end 2009. During February we issued a Yankee Bond in the amount of US$ 500 million and used the proceeds to pay the maturity of our Ps. 2,000 million and Ps. 1,000 million Certificados Bursátiles on February and April, respectively, and for the prepayment of US$ 202 million of bilateral loans. Net debt increased Ps. 469 million compared to year-end 2009, mainly as a result of the dividend of Ps. 2,612 million paid in April, net of the cash we generated during the first half. KOF’s total debt balance includes U.S. dollar-denominated debt in the amount of US$ 674 million.(1)

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter was 5.7%. The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of June 30, 2010:

MEXICO DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues
 
Total revenues from our Mexico division increased 9.3% to Ps. 10,653 million in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. Increased average price per unit case accounted for approximately 55% of incremental revenues during the quarter. Average price per unit case reached Ps. 31.01, an increase of 5.4%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009, reflecting higher volumes from the Coca-Cola brand, which carries higher average price per unit case, and selective price increases implemented during the quarter. Excluding bulk water under the Ciel brand, our average price per unit case was Ps. 36.26, a 4.6% increase as compared to the same period in 2009.

Total sales volume increased 4.2% to 343.1 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Sparkling beverages, mainly driven by a 5% growth of the Coca-Cola brand both in multi-serve and single-serve presentations, grew 5% and accounted for approximately 85% of incremental volume. The still beverage category, mainly driven by the Jugos del Valle product line, grew 12% and contributed more than 10% of incremental volumes, while an increase in personal bottled water compensated for lower volumes in bulk water and provided the balance.

Operating Income

Our gross profit increased 7.9% to Ps. 5,272 million in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Cost of goods sold increased 10.7% as a result of higher sweetener costs, which were partially offset by the appreciation of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost. Gross margin decreased from 50.1% in the second quarter of 2009 to 49.5% in the same period of 2010.

Operating income increased 3.0% to Ps. 1,960 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to Ps. 1,902 million in the same period of 2009. Operating expenses grew 10.9% mainly due to continued marketing investment to support our execution in the marketplace, widen our cooler coverage and broaden our returnable base availability. Our operating margin was 18.4% in the second quarter of 2010, compared to 19.5% in the same period of 2009.

LATINCENTRO DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS (Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama)

As of June 1, 2009, Coca-Cola FEMSA started to distribute the Brisa portfolio in Colombia.

Revenues
 
Total revenues reached Ps. 7,367 million in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of 15.0% as compared to the same period of 2009 mainly as a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. On a currency neutral basis and excluding the acquisition of Brisa in Colombia, total revenues increased approximately 23% due to selective pricing initiatives implemented over the past several months across the division.

Total sales volume in our Latincentro division increased 0.8% to 143.5 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. Volume growth resulted from incremental water volumes, driven by the consolidation of the Brisa water business in Colombia; which more than compensated for a volume decline in Venezuela. Excluding the acquisition of Brisa in Colombia, the division’s total volumes would have decreased 4.4%.

Operating Income
 
Gross profit reached Ps. 3,423 million, a decrease of 16.3% in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009. Cost of goods sold decreased 13.8% mainly as a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. In local currency, cost of goods sold increased mainly driven by higher year-over-year sweetener costs across the division, which were partially compensated by the appreciation of the Colombian peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost. Gross margin decreased 70 basis points to 46.5% in the second quarter of 2010.

Our operating income increased 19.0% to Ps. 1,233 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to the second quarter of 2009. Operating expenses decreased 28.3% mainly as a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. In local currency, operating expenses grew as a result of continued marketing investments, mainly due to the integration of the Brisa portfolio in Colombia, the continued expansion of the Jugos del Valle line of business in Colombia and Central America and higher labor costs in Venezuela. Our operating margin reached 16.7% in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to 12.0% in the same period of 2009.

MERCOSUR DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS (Brazil and Argentina)

Volume and average price per unit case exclude beer results.

Revenues

Total revenues increased 24.1% to Ps. 7,157 million in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009. Excluding beer, which accounted for Ps. 745 million during the quarter, revenues increased 24.4% to Ps. 6,412 million. Higher average prices per unit case and volume growth accounted for approximately 75% of incremental revenues and a positive currency translation effect, resulting from the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the Brazilian real,(1) represented more than 25% of incremental revenues. On a currency neutral basis, our Mercosur division’s revenues increased approximately 18%.

Total sales volume in our Mercosur division increased 8.7% to 147.2 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. Volume growth was a result of (i) an 8% growth in sparkling beverages, driven by a 14% increase in the Coca-Cola brand in Brazil, accounting for more than 80% of incremental volumes, (ii) a 33% growth in the still beverage category, driven by the Jugos del Valle line of business in Brazil and Aquarius flavored water in Argentina, contributing close to 15% of incremental volumes, and (iii) a 4% increase in our bottled water category, representing the balance.

Operating Income

In the second quarter of 2010, our gross profit increased 20.9% to Ps. 2,960 million, as compared to the same period in 2009. Cost of goods sold increased 26.4% mainly due to higher cost of sweetener in the division and higher cost of PET in Argentina, which were partially compensated for by the appreciation of the Brazilian real(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost. Gross margin in the Mercosur division decreased 100 basis points to 41.4% in the second quarter of 2010.

Operating income increased 21.1%, reaching Ps. 895 million in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to Ps. 739 million in the same period of 2009. Operating expenses increased 20.8%, mainly driven by higher labor and freight costs in Argentina. Our operating margin was 12.5% in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of 30 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2009.

 SUMMARY OF SIX-MONTH RESULTS

Our consolidated total revenues increased 6.2% to Ps. 49,205 million in the first half of 2010, as compared to the first half of 2009, as a result of revenue growth in our Mercosur and Mexico divisions and despite the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. On a currency neutral basis and excluding the acquisition of Brisa in Colombia, total revenues increased approximately 18% in the first six months of 2010.

Total sales volume increased 5.3% to 1,223.2 million unit cases in the first half of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The sparkling beverage category, driven by a 6% growth of the Coca-Cola brand, contributed more than 65% of incremental volumes. The consolidation of the Brisa water brand in Colombia drove an 8% growth in our bottled water portfolio, accounting for approximately 20% of incremental volumes and the still beverage category, mainly driven by the performance of the Jugos del Valle line of business across our territories, grew 14%, representing the balance. Excluding Brisa, total sales volume increased 3.6% to reach 1,203.3 million unit cases.

Our gross profit increased 3.9% to Ps. 22,555 million in the first half of 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009. Cost of goods sold increased 8.2% as a result of higher cost of sweetener across our operations, which was partially offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real,(1) the Colombian peso(1) and the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost. Gross margin reached 45.8% for the first six months of 2010, a decrease of 100 basis points as compared to the same period of 2009.

Our consolidated operating income increased 10.5% to Ps. 7,666 million in the first half 2010, as compared to 2009. Our Mercosur and Latincentro divisions accounted for this growth. Our operating margin was 15.6% for the first half of 2010, a 60 basis points expansion as compared to the same period of 2009.

Our consolidated net controlling interest income(2) increased by 31.8% to Ps. 4,613 million in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009, mainly as a result of higher operating income. Earnings per share (EPS) in the first half of 2010 were Ps. 2.50 (Ps. 24.98 per ADS) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADS represents 10 local shares).
