José Antonio Fernandez Carbajal, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“During the second quarter, we delivered a mixed set of results. In our core operations in Mexico, we faced a challenging combination of a soft consumer environment and very adverse weather that put pressure on retail operations and beverage volumes. On the positive side, several of our proximity and beverage operations outside of Mexico delivered strong results, which combined with currency tailwinds, helped to mitigate the impact. The retail operations outside of Mexico provided encouraging signs that they are firing on all cylinders as they fine-tune their value propositions and increase their scale.
At Proximity Americas Mexico, weak traffic numbers stood out against an otherwise largely positive set of trends outside of Mexico, reflecting an environment in which convenience categories such as soft drinks, beer and tobacco underperformed other categories across channels. We are working hard together with our supplier partners to ensure we can adjust our assortment and price-package architecture to remain competitive in addressing our customers’ needs as we advance through the summer and approach the key selling season in the fourth quarter. For its part, Valora delivered a solid result, as did our Health operations outside of Mexico. Finally, Coca-Cola FEMSA navigated the same challenging environment in Mexico which it is aggressively addressing with highly targeted and segmented packaging strategies, promotional activity, and expense control. Outside of Mexico, KOF continued to improve its competitive position and delivered strong results, particularly led by certain markets in South America, further reinforced by currency tailwinds.
We remain confident of the initiatives being implemented across businesses, and we are focused on reversing the traffic and volume trends and on managing costs and expenses in the second half of the year. Our businesses have repeatedly proven their resilience, and we believe we have the right strategy and team for the task.”
