Mexico City (April 29, 2009), 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 and the second-largest Coca-Cola bottler in the world in terms of sales volume, announces results for the first quarter of 2009. 

"Our Company achieved healthy top- and bottom-line results for the quarter, growing volumes, revenues and EBITDA by 7, 30 and 20 percent respectively. Among other factors, we benefited from the consolidation of our REMIL franchise territory in Brazil, the continued successful rollout of the Jugos del Valle line of juice-based beverages in Mexico, Colombia and Central America, and organic growth. We have the flexibility to adapt our business through initiatives that sustain our cash flow and meet our strategic objectives. Importantly, our company is in a very strong financial position as exemplified by the dividends of more than 1.3 billion Mexican pesos that we paid our shareholders in the month of April." said Carlos Salazar Lomelin, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Our consolidated total revenues increased 30.5% to Ps. 22,526 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to the first quarter of 2008, as a result of increases in all of our divisions. Revenue growth was driven by (i) organic growth, mainly due to pricing, accounting for approximately 40% of incremental revenues, (ii) the consolidation of Refrigerantes Minas Gerais, Ltda. (“REMIL”) in Brazil, contributing more than 25% of incremental revenues for the quarter and (iii) a positive exchange rate translation effect providing the balance. Excluding the positive translation effect and the acquisition of REMIL, our consolidated total revenues would have increased approximately 12%.

Total sales volume increased 7.1% to 554.2 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008; excluding REMIL, total sales volume increased 1.7% mainly driven by incremental volumes from our bottled water business and still beverages. Still beverages sales volume grew close to 120%, mainly driven by volumes from the Jugos del Valle brand in our Mexico and Latincentro divisions, accounting for the majority of incremental volumes in this category. Bottled water, including bulk water, grew more than 8%, mainly driven by the consolidation of the Agua de Los Angeles business in Mexico.

Our gross profit increased 26.3% to Ps. 10,443 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to the first quarter of 2008. Cost of goods sold increased 34.5% mainly driven by (i) higher year-over-year sweetener costs, (ii) the devaluation of the local currencies in our main operations as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost and (iii) the integration of REMIL; which were partially offset by lower cost of resin. Gross margin reached 46.4% in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 47.9% in the same period of 2008.

Our consolidated operating income increased 17.3% to Ps. 3,305 million in the first quarter of 2009, mainly driven by double-digit operating income growth in our Latincentro and Mercosur divisions. Our operating margin was 14.7% in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 160 basis points. Revenue growth compensated higher operating expenses and cost of goods sold.

During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded Ps. 330 million in the other expenses line. These expenses were mainly driven by the loss on sale of some fixed assets and employee profit sharing recorded in the other expenses line, in accordance with the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards.

Our integral result of financing in the first quarter of 2009 recorded an expense of Ps. 938 million as compared to Ps. 222 million in the same period of 2008, mainly due to a higher foreign exchange expense driven by the devaluation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt.

During the first quarter of 2009, income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 30.7% .

Our consolidated majority net income decreased by 18.1% to Ps. 1,327 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008, mainly reflecting the devaluation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt. Earnings per share (EPS) were Ps. 0.72 (Ps. 7.19 per ADR) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADR represents 10 local shares).

BALANCE SHEET

As of March 31, 2009, Coca-Cola FEMSA had a cash balance of Ps. 9,760 million including US$ 449 million in US dollar currency, an increase of Ps. 3,568 million compared to December 31, 2008, net of the US$ 46 million paid for our share of the joint acquisition of the Brisa bottled water business in Colombia.

Total short-term debt was Ps. 8,206 million and long-term debt was Ps. 12,785 million. Total debt increased Ps. 2,417 million compared with year end 2008 mainly due to the issuance of Ps. 2,000 million in 1.1 year “Certificados Bursátiles” in January 2009, priced at a yield of 28-day TIIE plus 80 basis points. Net debt decreased approximately Ps. 1,151 million compared to year end 2008, mainly as a result of cash generated during the quarter. KOF’s total debt balance includes U.S. dollar-denominated debt in the amount of US$ 652 million (1).

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter was 7.4% . The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of March 31, 2009:

MEXICO DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Total revenues from our Mexico division increased 4.8% to Ps. 8,141 million in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Incremental volumes accounted for close to 70% of incremental revenues during the quarter. Average price per unit case reached Ps. 29.78, an increase of 1.6%, as compared to the first quarter of 2008, reflecting higher average prices per unit case from our growing still beverage portfolio that were partially offset by lower average prices per unit case in flavored sparkling beverages. Excluding bulk water under the brands Ciel and Agua de Los Angeles, our average price per unit case was Ps. 35.13, a 2.6% increase as compared to the same period of 2008.

Total sales volume increased 3.2% to 272.4 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the first quarter of 2008, resulting from incremental volumes in the still beverage category, increasing almost threefold, driven by the Jugos del Valle product line and more than 11% volume growth in our bottled water business which more than compensated for a sales volume decline of 3.6% in sparkling beverages. This decline was mainly driven by lower flavored sparkling beverages sales.

Operating Income

Our gross profit increased 3.0% to Ps. 4,077 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. Cost of goods sold increased 6.6% as a result of the devaluation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost and the third and final stage of the scheduled Coca-Cola Company concentrate price increase announced in 2006, which was partially offset by lower year-over-year cost of resin. Gross margin decreased from 51.0% in the first quarter of 2008 to 50.1% in the same period of 2009.

Operating income increased 0.8% to Ps. 1,334 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to Ps. 1,323 million in the same period of 2008, as a result of revenue growth, that compensated for higher cost of goods sold and higher selling expenses due to the integration of the specialized sales force of Jugos del Valle, and the integration of the Agua De Los Angeles and Ciel jug water businesses in the Valley of Mexico. Our operating margin was 16.4% in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 60 basis points as compared to the same period of 2008.

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

Revenues

Total revenues reached Ps. 8,049 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of 50.4% as compared to the same period of 2008. Higher average price per unit case and volume growth accounted for more than 40% of incremental revenues and a positive currency translation effect represented the balance. Excluding this positive currency translation effect, our Latincentro division’s revenues would have increased aproximately 21%.

Total sales volume in our Latincentro division increased 1.9% to 132.7 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. Volume growth was mainly driven by increases in sparkling beverages in Venezuela and still beverages in Colombia, due to the strong performance of the Jugos del Valle line of business, which compensated for a volume decline in Central America.

Operating Income

Gross profit reached Ps. 3,672 million, an increase of 50.2% in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008. Cost of goods sold increased 50.6% mainly driven by higher sweetener costs across the division and the depreciation of the Colombian peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated packaging costs. Gross margin decreased 10 basis points to 45.6% in the first quarter of 2009.

Our operating income increased 32.0% to Ps. 1,044 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to the first quarter of 2008, as a result of operating leverage achieved by higher revenues that more than compensated for higher labor costs in Venezuela. Our operating margin reached 13.0% in the first quarter of 2009, resulting in a 180 basis points decline as compared to the same period of 2008.

MERCOSUR DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS (Brazil and Argentina)

As of June 2008, Coca-Cola FEMSA includes the REMIL operation in its Mercosur division. Volume and average price per unit case exclude beer results.

Revenues

Net revenues increased 53.1% to Ps. 6,230 million in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008. Excluding beer, which accounted for Ps. 608 million during the quarter, net revenues increased 50.1% to Ps. 5,622 million, compared to the same period of 2008. The acquisition of REMIL accounted for more than 60% of this growth, higher average prices per unit case accounted for almost 30% of incremental net revenues and a positive translation effect represented the balance. Excluding this positive currency translation effect, our Mercosur division’s net revenues would have increased approximately 48%.

Sales volume, excluding beer, increased 20.7% to 149.1 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the first quarter of 2008, driven by the acquisition of REMIL. Sales volume, excluding REMIL and beer, decreased 1.5% to reach 121.6 million unit cases as a result of volume declines in Argentina.

Operating Income

In the first quarter of 2009, our gross profit increased 44.2% to Ps. 2,694 million, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Cost of goods sold increased 60.6% driven by (i) the integration of REMIL in Brazil, (ii) the devaluation of the local currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material cost and (iii) higher sweetener cost in the division, as compared to the same period of last year. Our Mercosur division gross margin decreased 270 basis points to 42.5% in the first quarter of 2009.

Operating income increased 31.7%, reaching Ps. 927 million in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to Ps. 704 million in the same period of 2008. Operating leverage achieved by higher revenues more than compensated for higher labor and freight costs in Argentina. Our operating margin was 14.6% in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 240 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
