Mexico City, March 28th, 2022 - Coca-Cola
FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFUBL, NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA, “KOF” or the “Company”), released its

the year driven by its strategic framework and purpose. The report provides further information on the Company’s key initiatives
in its portfolio, omnichannel, sustainability, and culture fronts.
"This year highlighted our business’s
resilience, adaptability, and agility. Our resilience was evident in our company’s ability to protect the safety and wellbeing of
our people; while delivering solid results across all of our strategic fronts—from portfolio management and digital transformation
to milestones in sustainable development,” said John Santa Maria Otazua, CEO of Coca-Cola FEMSA.
Mr. Santa Maria added, “Aligned with our purpose
and our strategy, we are working across six strategic corridors: build out an open omnichannel platform; develop a winning consumer-centric
portfolio; foster an agile, digital savvy, people-centric culture; place sustainability at the heart of our organization; digitalize our
core; and actively pursue value-enhancing acquisitions.”

volume reached 3.5 billion unit cases, with total revenues increasing 6.1% to Ps. 194.8 billion and operating income increasing 8.6% to
