FEMSA Delivers Double-Digit Revenue and Operating
Income Growth Across Operations in 2Q11

Monterrey, Mexico, July 22, 2011 — Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (“FEMSA”) announced today its operational and financial results for the second quarter of 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Highlights:

·
FEMSA comparable consolidated total revenues and income from operations grew 15.5% and 17.7%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2010, reflecting double-digit growth at Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA Comercio.

·
Coca-Cola FEMSA total revenues and income from operations increased 12.9% and 12.4%, respectively.  Double-digit income from operations growth in the Mexico and Mercosur divisions drove these results.

·
FEMSA Comercio achieved double digit same-store sales growth during the quarter.  Income from operations increased 26.2%.

José Antonio Fernández Carbajal, Chairman and CEO of FEMSA, commented: “The second quarter was a successful one for us, on several fronts.  Operationally, we saw sustained momentum at FEMSA Comercio and in most of our territories at Coca-Cola FEMSA, with Mexico continuing to show strong growth.  In an environment that is not without its challenges, our team once again managed to produce an encouraging set of results.  In addition to that, as you know, during the second quarter we had the privilege of reaching a key strategic agreement with Grupo Tampico to join forces and combine their bottling operations with those of Coca-Cola FEMSA, marking an important step in the journey to consolidate our leadership position in the non-alcoholic beverage space.  So as we pass the halfway mark for this year, we are on the right track but we must keep our focus and our energy and continue to strive to exceed the goals we have set for ourselves.”

 
 
 

 
 

 
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 at www.femsa.com/investor. FEMSA’s consolidated results for the second quarter of 2011 reflect the transaction effects and are presented on a comparable basis.
 
Comparable total revenues increased 15.5% compared to 2Q10 to Ps. 48.392 billion in 2Q11.  FEMSA Comercio and Coca-Cola FEMSA drove the incremental consolidated revenues.  For the first half of 2011, comparable consolidated total revenues increased 13.5% to Ps. 91.534 billion.

Comparable gross profit increased 14.5% compared to 2Q10 to Ps. 20.092 billion in 2Q11 driven by FEMSA Comercio and Coca-Cola FEMSA.  Gross margin decreased 40 basis points compared to the same period in 2010 to 41.5% of total revenues, as FEMSA Comercio’s gross profit improvement partially offset raw-material-driven cost pressures at Coca-Cola FEMSA.

For the first half of 2011, comparable gross profit increased 13.0% to Ps. 37.547 billion.  Gross margin decreased 20 basis points compared to the same period in 2010 to 41.0% of total revenues, mainly due to the effect of the faster growth of lower-margin FEMSA Comercio, which tends to compress FEMSA’s consolidated margins over time.

Comparable income from operations increased 17.7% to Ps. 6.277 billion in 2Q11 as compared to the same period in 2010.  Consolidated operating margin increased 30 basis points compared to 2Q10 to 13.0% of total revenues, due mainly to operating margin improvement at FEMSA Comercio.

For the first half of 2011, comparable income from operations increased 13.5% to Ps. 11.085 billion.  Our consolidated operating margin year-to-date remained at 12.1% as a percentage of total revenues as compared to the same period of 2010.

Net income from continuing operations increased 7.1% to Ps. 4.066 billion in 2Q11 compared to 2Q10, reflecting the fact that this line includes FEMSA’s 20% participation in Heineken’s 1Q11 net income.  The figures also reflect growth in comparable income from operations, as described above.  The effective income tax rate on continuing operations was 30.8% in 2Q11 compared to 24.5% in 2Q10.

For the first half of 2011, net income from continuing operations increased 15.7% to Ps. 7.432 billion compared to the same period of 2010, primarily as a result of growth in income from operations.

Net consolidated income decreased 86.7% compared to 2Q10 to Ps. 4.066 billion in 2Q11, due to a high comparison base in 2Q10 which reflected the inclusion of the gain from the transaction.  Net majority income for 2Q11 resulted in Ps. 0.77 per FEMSA Unit1. Net majority income per FEMSA ADS was US$ 0.66 for the quarter.  For the first half of 2011, net majority income per FEMSA Unit1 was Ps. 1.39 (US$ 1.18 per ADS).

Capital expenditures increased to Ps. 2.960 billion in 2Q11 as FEMSA Comercio deployed a higher amount of investment.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, recorded a cash balance of Ps. 31.176 billion (US$ 2.660 billion), an increase of Ps. 8.348 billion (US$ 712.3 million) compared to the same period in 2010.  Short-term debt was Ps. 5.581 billion (US$ 476.2 million), while long-term debt was Ps. 22.485 billion (US$ 1,918.7 billion).  Our consolidated net cash balance was Ps. 3.110 billion (US$ 265.4 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 20.3% compared to 2Q10 to Ps. 18.973 billion in 2Q11 mainly driven by the opening of 342 net new stores in the quarter, reaching 1,132 total net new store openings in the last twelve months.  As of June 30, 2011, FEMSA Comercio had a total of 8,963 convenience stores.  Same-store sales increased an average of 10.7% for the quarter over 2Q10, reflecting a 4.3% increase in store traffic and a 6.1% increase in average customer ticket.

For the first half of 2011, total revenues increased 19.9% to Ps. 35.083 billion.  FEMSA Comercio’s same-store sales increased an average of 9.9% driven by a 4.5% increase in store traffic and a 4.9% increase in average customer ticket.

Gross profit increased by 23.1% in 2Q11 compared to 2Q10, resulting in an 80 basis point gross margin expansion to 33.9% of total revenues. This increase reflects (i) a positive mix shift due to the growth of higher margin categories, (ii) a more effective collaboration and execution with our key supplier partners combined with a more efficient use of promotion-related marketing resources, and (iii) a change in the structure of commercial terms for certain supplier partners; while the impact of these terms used to be skewed towards the fourth quarter, it is now more evenly spread throughout the year.  For the first half of 2011, gross margin expanded by 70 basis points to 32.8% of total revenues.

Income from operations increased 26.2% over 2Q10 to Ps. 1.590 billion in 2Q11.  Operating expenses increased 22.2% to Ps. 4.845 billion, largely driven by the growing number of stores as well as by incremental expenses such as the strengthening of FEMSA Comercio’s organizational structure, mainly IT-related.  Operating expense growth was contained during the quarter, allowing the operating margin to expand 40 basis points compared to 2Q10, reaching 8.4% of total revenues.  For the first half of 2011, income from operations increased 26.0% to Ps. 2.367 billion, resulting in an operating margin of 6.7%, which represents a 30 basis point expansion from the prior year.

Mexico City (July 20, 2011), Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL, NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA” or the “Company”), the largest public Coca-Cola bottler in the world in terms of sales volume, announces results for the second quarter of 2011.
 
“Our diversified portfolio of franchise territories enabled us to deliver strong results for the second quarter of 2011. Our performance was supported by volume growth across all of our divisions and our ability to implement pricing initiatives over the past several months throughout our main markets. The continued implementation of our commercial model at the point of sale is allowing us to better identify our customer’s value potential, satisfy our consumers’ needs and, at the same time, generate efficiencies for further investment in our marketplace. We are enthusiastic about the merger with Grupo Tampico’s beverage division in Mexico. This merger will not only reinforce our presence in one of our key markets, but also present the opportunity to integrate with the oldest bottling franchise in the Mexican Coca-Cola system, whose talented team of professionals will help us to drive our future growth. We have significantly advanced our strategy to grow through value-creating transactions during the first half of the year, as exemplified by our acquisition in Panama's dairy segment, completed in March, and the upcoming merger with Grupo Tampico’s beverage division. As we enter the second half of the year, we look forward with renewed optimism, eager to deliver both organic and non-organic growth for our investors through the execution of our business strategy." said Carlos Salazar Lomelin, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Our consolidated total revenues increased 12.9% to Ps. 28,417 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010 as a result of double-digit total revenue growth in every division. On a currency neutral basis, total revenues grew approximately 14%, driven by average price per unit case growth in most of our territories, in combination with volume growth mainly in Mexico, Colombia and Argentina.

Total sales volume increased 5.0% to reach 665.6 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The sparkling beverage category grew 5% mainly supported by strong volume growth of the Coca-Cola brand in Mexico and Colombia, contributing 75% of incremental volumes. The bottled water category, including bulk water, grew 5%, representing 15% of incremental volumes. The still beverage category grew 10%, mainly driven by the Jugos del Valle line of business in Mexico and Brazil, representing the balance.

Our gross profit increased 12.2% to Ps. 13,078 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010. Cost of goods sold increased 13.4%, mainly as a result of higher PET and 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 costs. Gross margin reached 46.0%, as compared to 46.3% in the second quarter of 2010.

Our consolidated operating income increased 12.4% to Ps. 4,596 million in the second quarter of 2011, mainly driven by double-digit operating income growth in our Mexico and Mercosur divisions. Operating expenses increased 12.1% in the second quarter of 2011 mainly as a result of higher labor costs in Venezuela and Mercosur and higher freight costs in Argentina. Our operating margin remained flat at 16.2% in the second quarter of 2011.

During the second quarter of 2011, we recorded Ps. 332 million in the other expenses, net line. These expenses mainly reflect the recording of employee profit sharing.

Our comprehensive financing result in the second quarter of 2011 recorded an expense of Ps. 340 million as compared to an expense of Ps. 364 million in the same period of 2010.

During the second quarter of 2011, income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 30.5% compared to 25.8% in the same period of 2010. This difference was mainly driven by the cancellation of a provision during the second quarter of 2010, that had been recorded in excess during 2009.

Our consolidated net controlling interest income grew 6.0% reaching Ps. 2,629 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010. Earnings per share (EPS) in the second quarter of 2011 were Ps. 1.42 (Ps. 14.24 per ADS) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADS represents 10 local shares).

MEXICO DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues
 
Total revenues from our Mexico division increased 10.8% to Ps. 11,802 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. Volume growth accounted for approximately 60% of incremental revenues during the quarter, and increased average price per unit case represented the balance. Average price per unit case reached Ps. 32.22, an increase of 3.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010, mainly reflecting selective price increases across our product portfolio implemented over the past several months. Excluding bulk water under the Ciel brand, our average price per unit case was Ps. 37.56, a 3.6% increase as compared to the same period in 2010.

Total sales volume increased 6.5% to 365.3 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the second quarter of 2010. Sparkling beverage volume increased 6%, driven by a 7% growth of the Coca-Cola brand and a 5% increase in flavored sparkling beverages, accounting for more than 70% of incremental volumes. Our bottled water portfolio, including bulk water, grew 7% and contributed with close to 25% of incremental volumes. Still beverages grew 6% mainly driven by the Jugos del Valle line of products, Nestea and Powerade, contributing the balance.
 
Operating Income

Our gross profit increased 11.3% to Ps. 5,867 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. Cost of goods sold increased 10.3% as a result of higher PET costs, which were compensated mainly by the appreciation of the Mexican peso(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. Gross margin expanded 20 basis points to reach 49.7% in the second quarter of 2011.

Operating income increased 18.6% to Ps. 2,325 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to Ps. 1,960 million in the same period of 2010. Operating leverage achieved through higher revenues, in combination with controlled operating expenses, resulted in an operating margin expansion of 130 basis points to reach 19.7% in the second quarter of 2011.

Our sparkling beverage portfolio grew 4%, mainly driven by a strong performance of the Coca-Cola brand in Colombia and Central America, which grew 18% and 8%, respectively. The still beverage category grew 4% driven by the Jugos del Valle line of business in Central America. These increases compensated for a 6% decline in the bottled water portfolio, including bulk water.

Volume and average price per unit case exclude beer results.

Revenues

Total revenues increased 17.8% to Ps. 8,434 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010. Excluding beer, which accounted for Ps. 850 million during the quarter, revenues increased 18.3% to Ps. 7,584 million.

Total sales volume in our Mercosur division increased 3.9% to 152.9 million unit cases in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010. The sparkling beverage category grew 2%, mainly driven by a 7% volume growth in flavored sparkling beverages, accounting for close to 60% of incremental volumes. The still beverage category increased 35%, mainly driven by the performance of the Jugos del Valle line of business and the Matte Leao portfolio in Brazil and the Cepita juice brand in Argentina, representing more than 30% of incremental volumes. The bottled water category, including bulk water, grew 10%, mainly driven by the performance of Aquarius flavored water in Argentina, representing the balance.
 
Operating Income

In the second quarter of 2011, our gross profit increased 16.9% to Ps. 3,459 million, as compared to the same period in 2010. Cost of goods sold increased 18.5% mainly due to higher PET and sweetener costs across the division, which were partially offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real(1) as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. Gross margin reached 41.0% in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 40 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Operating income grew 17.8% to Ps. 1,054 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to Ps. 895 million in the same period of 2010. Operating expenses increased 16.5% mainly due to higher labor cost in the division and higher freight costs in Argentina. Our operating margin remained flat at 12.5% in the second quarter of 2011.

SUMMARY OF SIX-MONTH RESULTS

Our consolidated total revenues increased 10.5% to Ps. 54,388 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010, mainly as a result of double-digit total revenue growth in our Mercosur and Mexico divisions.

Total sales volume increased 3.9% to 1,270.5 million unit cases in the first six months of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.

Our bottled water portfolio, including bulk water, grew 4% and represented 15% of incremental volumes. The still beverage category grew 11%, mainly driven by the performance of the Jugos del Valle line of business in Mexico and Brazil, and the Cepita juice brand in Argentina, representing the balance.

Our gross profit increased 10.5% to Ps. 24,934 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010. Cost of goods sold increased 10.5% mainly as a result of higher PET and sweetener costs across our operations, 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 costs. Gross margin remained flat at 45.8% for the first six months of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010.

Our consolidated operating income increased 10.8% to Ps. 8,491 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010.

Certain brands within our portfolio have been reclassified across categories. This reclassification affects, among others, flavored water brands that were previously included as a part of still beverages and will now be presented within our water category. For comparison purposes, the figures of 2010 have been restated. This change mainly affects our Mexico, Brazil and Argentina second quarter 2010 volumes and accounts for 3.9 million unit cases.
