Maximilian Zimmermann | Our company achieved record-breaking volume, revenue, and EBITDA for the year. As our Mexican operations continued to improve their profitabilityrecording their best quarter for the yearit was our markets outside of Mexico that
drove our top- and bottom-line growth. Our growth is fueled by our winning marketplace execution as exemplified by our successful launch of innovative new products, led by Coca-Cola Zero and Aquarius Fresh in the sparkling beverages
category. Our strong balance sheet and profitable operations have enabled us to deliver diversified free cash flow, reduce our debt, and finance additional acquisitions with cash from operations. During the quarter, our company and The Coca-Cola
Cola Company successfully closed the public tender offer for Jugos del Valle, and we are in the process of integrating other Coca Cola bottlers into the joint venture. In January, we had already started to distribute Jugos del Valles juice
products in some of our Mexican market territories, said Carlos Salazar Lomelín, Chief Executive Officer of the company. |

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Our consolidated total revenues increased 8.6% to Ps. 18,361 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, as a result of increases in most of our territories. Our consolidated average price per unit case increased 1.3% to Ps. 31.94 (US$ 2.93) in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006, as a result of higher average prices in Mexico and other operations in our South American territories.
Total sales volume increased 6.7% to 558.4 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006, mainly driven by a 5.8% volume growth of the Coca-Cola brand, which accounted for more than 55% of our total incremental volumes during the quarter. Sparkling beverages sales volume grew 6.7% to 478.4 million unit cases, driven by volume growth across most of our territories. The fourth quarter of 2007 represented 26.3% of total volumes for the year.
Our gross profit increased 13.9% to Ps. 9,011 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by increases in all of our operations. Gross margin reached 49.1% in the fourth quarter of 2007 from 46.8% in the same period of 2006. Lower sweetener costs in Brazil and Colombia in conjunction with lower PET (polyethylene terephtalate) costs in Mexico and Brazil more than compensated for higher sweetener costs mainly in Mexico and Argentina.
Our consolidated operating income increased 12.6% to Ps. 3,224 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Double-digit increases in operating income in Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina combined with higher operating income in Mexico for the second quarter in a row, more than compensated for the decline in Colombia. Our operating margin was 17.6% in the fourth quarter of 2007, an improvement of 70 basis points as a result of higher fixed-cost absorption combined with lower sweetener costs in Brazil and Colombia.
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. 13 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and Ps. 68 million in the same period of 2007.
Additionally the other expenses line reflects lower expenses driven by a high comparable due to extraordinary expenses recorded for strategic projects in 2006.
Our integral cost of financing in the fourth quarter of 2007 reached a gain of Ps. 162 million as compared to a loss of Ps. 85 million in the same period of 2006, mainly driven by lower interest expenses due to lower gross debt and higher interest income coming from our higher cash position.
During the fourth quarter of 2007 income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 38.28%, compared to 30.6% in the same quarter of 2006. The tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2007 was higher than the same period of 2006, mainly due to additional tax accruals in some of our operations.
Our consolidated majority net income increased by 18.9% to Ps. 1,932 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by an increase in our operating income, lower net interest expenses recorded this quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 and the results in the other expenses line as mentioned above. Earnings per share (EPS) were Ps. 1.05 (US$ 0.96 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 4.4% to Ps. 8,089 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Incremental volumes accounted for more than 80% of the incremental revenues during the quarter and higher price per unit case represented the balance. Average price per unit case increased 0.8% to Ps. 29.57 (US$ 2.71), as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 mainly driven by price increases from sparkling beverages. Excluding bulk water under the brand Ciel, our average price per unit case was Ps. 34.18 (US$ 3.13), a 1.1% increase as compared to the same period of 2006.
Total sales volume increased 3.7% to 272.2 million unit cases in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, resulting from (i) a 2.6% sales volume growth in sparkling beverages, driven by a 3.6% increase in the Coca-Cola brands, (ii) sales volume growth in bulk water and (iii) incremental volumes of bottled water in single serve presentations.
Operating Income
Our gross profit increased by 5.6% to Ps. 4,355 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. Gross margin increased from 53.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006 to 53.8% in the same period of 2007, as a result of lower PET costs year-over-year, mainly driven by our light-weighting initiatives, which more than compensated for higher cost of sweeteners.
Operating income increased 3.7% to Ps. 1,719 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to Ps. 1,657 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.

CENTRAL AMERICAN OPERATING RESULTS (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama)
Revenues
Total revenues reached Ps. 1,227 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of 0.7% compared to the same period of 2006. Volume growth offset lower average prices per unit case. Average price per unit case declined by 2.8% to Ps. 36.19 (US$ 3.32) in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, as a result of strong volume growth in multiserve presentations, which carry a lower average price per unit case.
Total sales volume in our Central American territories grew 3.7% to 33.9 million unit cases in the fourth 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 75% of the growth; the balance was brought mainly by still beverages. In the fourth quarter of 2007, sales volume of still beverages, excluding bottled water, increased almost 20% as compared to the same period of 2006 due to strong growth of Hi-C, a juice based product line, and Powerade, an isotonic beverage.
Operating Income
Gross profit reached Ps. 568 million, an increase of 0.7% in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006, as a result of lower costs driven by the appreciation of local currencies as applied to the U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials combined with light-weighting PET initiatives. Gross margin remained flat at 46.3% in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.
Our operating income increased 9.6% to Ps. 205 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by higher fixed cost absorption.

Operating Income
Our gross profit increased 10.8% to Ps. 913 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of the previous year. The 10% 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 640 basis points from 44.8% in the fourth quarter of 2006 to 51.2% in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Our operating income decreased 6.6% to Ps. 310 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, total sales volume increased 14.4% to 54.9 million unit cases, as compared to the same period of 2006. Sales volume growth was driven by incremental volumes from the Coca-Cola brand, mainly by the introduction of Coca-Cola Zero, combined with the growth of flavored sparkling beverages.
Operating Income
Gross profit increased 25.4% to Ps. 504 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Higher revenues compensated for higher sweetener costs, resulting in a gross margin expansion of 90 basis points to 39.5%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.
Operating expenses increased 31.8% in the fourth quarter of 2007, mainly due to higher salary expenses and freight costs.

Sparkling beverages sales volume growth accounted for more than 95% 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, grew more than 45% in the quarter, driven by strong performance of Minute Maid Mais, a juice based beverage line.
Operating Income
In the fourth quarter of 2007, our gross profit increased 33.0% to Ps. 1,620 million, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Lower average cost per unit case, resulting from (i) lower PET bottle costs, (ii) lower sugar costs and (iii) the appreciation of the Brazilian Real as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials, contributed to a gross margin improvement of 630 basis points to 48.2% in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Operating income increased 47.9% reaching Ps. 658 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to Ps. 445 million in the same period of 2006.

SUMMARY OF FULL YEAR RESULTS
Our consolidated total revenues increased 8.1% to Ps. 69,251 million in 2007, as compared to 2006, as a result of growth in all of our territories, with Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela representing more than 75% of this growth. Consolidated average price per unit case increased 1.9% to Ps. 32.15 (US$ 2.95) in 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. In 2007, the operations outside Mexico contributed 53% of consolidated revenues.
Total sales volume increased 6.1% to 2,120.8 million unit cases in 2007, as compared to the previous year. Sales volume growth in Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela accounted for more than 75% of our incremental volumes. Sparkling beverages sales volume grew 5.7% to 1,791.0 million cases, driven by incremental volume across all of our territories. In 2007, the operations outside Mexico contributed 51% of consolidated sparkling beverage volumes.
Our gross profit increased 10.1% to Ps. 33,370 million in 2007, as compared to the previous year, driven by revenue growth across all of our territories. Gross margin increased to 48.2% in 2007 from 47.3% in 2006, driven by revenue growth, which more than compensated for higher sweetener costs in Mexico.
Our consolidated operating income increased 11.7% to Ps. 11,447 million in 2007, as compared to 2006. Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela accounted for the majority of the incremental growth and more than offset a slight operating income decline in Mexico.
