Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL) (NYSE: KOF) ("Coca-Cola FEMSA" or the "Company"), the largest franchise bottler in the world, announces results for the second quarter of 2013.
  • Reported total revenues reached Ps. 36,260 million in the second quarter of 2013, remaining flat as compared to the second quarter of 2012, mainly as a result of a 6.3% revenue growth in our Mexico & Central America division which compensated for a negative translation effect resulting from the devaluation of the currencies in our South America division. On a currency neutral basis and excluding the non-comparable effect of Grupo Fomento Queretano and Grupo Yoli in Mexico, total revenues grew 12.7%.
  • Reported consolidated operating income reached Ps. 5,142 million for the second quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 9.1%. Our reported operating margin reached 14.2% in the second quarter of 2013, an expansion of 120 basis points.
  • Reported consolidated net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 2,807 million in the second quarter of 2013.

"Amid a continued challenging consumer environment and increased exchange rate volatility, our operators delivered solid currency-neutral results and consolidated margin expansion, capitalizing on the diversified and balanced geographic footprint we have created over the past decade. We are pleased to enlarge our family of employees through the integration of Grupo Yoli's franchise territories in Mexico and our recently announced agreement to acquire the Fluminense franchise territory in Brazil. The transactions that we have performed underscore our continued commitment to focus on the opportunities arising in the Latin American beverage industry. As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are confident that our company has developed the skills and talent necessary to achieve our business plan and continue to create value for all of our stakeholders," said Carlos Salazar Lomelin, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
