Coca-Cola FEMSA (NYSE: KOF) Q1 2026 net income drops 15.5% as financing costs rise
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Coca-Cola FEMSA reported mixed first quarter 2026 results, with consolidated total revenues rising 1.1% to Ps. 70,925 million and volume up 1.2% to 998.4 million unit cases. Revenue growth came mainly from pricing and higher volumes in most countries, partly offset by negative currency translation.
Gross profit increased 4.5% to Ps. 33,255 million, expanding gross margin to 46.9% on lower sweetener and PET costs and stronger local currencies against the U.S. dollar. However, operating income declined 2.3% to Ps. 9,032 million as higher marketing, depreciation, restructuring and IT expenses, including SAP4Hana implementation, weighed on results.
By region, Mexico and Central America saw operating income fall 17.4% to Ps. 4,461 million, pressured by weaker Mexico volumes, an excise tax increase and higher expenses, while South America delivered 18.8% operating income growth to Ps. 4,571 million on broad-based volume gains and operating leverage. Net income attributable to equity holders dropped 15.5% to Ps. 4,342 million, mainly due to a 55.7% increase in comprehensive financing expense to Ps. 1,752 million, reflecting higher interest costs and losses on financial instruments.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Net income under pressure: Net income attributable to equity holders fell 15.5% to Ps. 4,342 million, driven by a 55.7% increase in comprehensive financing expense and a modest 2.3% decline in operating income.
Insights
Solid top-line and margins, but higher financing costs drove a notable net income decline.
Coca-Cola FEMSA delivered relatively resilient Q1 2026 revenue, up 1.1% to Ps. 70,925 million, with volume increasing 1.2%. Lower sweetener and PET costs plus stronger local currencies expanded gross margin by 150 basis points to 46.9%, showing good cost management despite soft demand in Mexico.
Operating income slipped 2.3% to Ps. 9,032 million as the company absorbed higher marketing, depreciation, restructuring and SAP4Hana-related IT expenses. Regionally, Mexico & Central America operating income dropped 17.4%, hurt by an excise tax increase and weaker Mexico volumes, while South America grew operating income 18.8% on broad-based volume growth and operating leverage.
The main pressure point was below operating income. Comprehensive financing result expense rose 55.7% to Ps. 1,752 million, driven by higher net interest expense and a swing to losses on financial instruments, contributing to a 15.5% decline in net income attributable to equity holders to Ps. 4,342 million. Net debt including hedges fell to Ps. 47,535 million, or 0.80x adjusted EBITDA, indicating a still moderate leverage profile.

Ian Craig, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s CEO, commented:
“Our first quarter results reflected the resiliency of our business and the advantages that a diversified footprint affords. Consolidated volume growth was supported by positive contributions from most of our operations, including strong performances in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala that helped offset a volume decline in Mexico. As expected, we faced a softer consumer backdrop in Mexico compounded by the excise tax increase. Despite these headwinds, we gained share across most of our markets and categories and achieved record volumes for a first quarter in key markets such as Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala. Our consolidated margins remained stable, supported by a strong performance in South America that compensated for pressures in Mexico and Central America. Unfavorable volume and mix impacts from the excise tax increase, severance and IT expenses resulted in a 17.4% drop in operating income in Mexico and Central America which was partially compensated by a 18.8% operating income growth in South America driven by volume growth and fixed costs and expenses absorption, resulting in a consolidated operating income decline of 2.3% for the quarter.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on strengthening our competitive position through targeted revenue management initiatives that support sustainable volume growth over the long term. Throughout 2026, we will also leverage the FIFA World Cup platform across our markets, while continuing to capture efficiencies and savings to protect profitability and prioritize the sustainable long-term growth of our business.”

Volume increased 1.2% to 998.4 million-unit cases, driven by volume growth in most of our operations that was partially offset by a decline in Mexico.
Total revenues increased 1.1% to Ps. 70,925 million. This increase was driven mainly by revenue management initiatives and a volume increase in most of our countries, partially offset by the negative translation effect from all our operating currencies into Mexican pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 6.0%.
Gross profit increased 4.5% to Ps. 33,255 million, and gross margin expanded 150 basis points to 46.9%. This expansion was driven mainly by lower sweetener and PET costs, coupled with the appreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. These effects were partially offset by higher fixed costs such as labor and depreciation, coupled with unfavorable mix effects. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 9.5%.
Operating income decreased 2.3% to Ps. 9,032 million, and operating margin contracted 50 basis points to 12.7%. This margin contraction was driven mainly by rightsizing initiatives and IT expenses, related to the implementation of SAP4Hana, in addition we recorded higher operating expenses such as marketing and depreciation. These effects were partially offset by expense efficiencies such as freight and maintenance across our operations. In addition, this quarter we recognized an income of Ps. 95 million, net of expenses, related to insurance claims from Hurricane John that impacted Mexico in September 2024. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 2.6%.

Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,752 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 1,126 million in the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by a loss in financial instruments of Ps. 167 million, as compared to a gain of Ps. 135 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, driven mainly by an increase in rates and the valuation of matured financial instruments in Brazil.
In addition, we recorded a higher interest expense, net, because of an increase in interest expenses driven mainly by new bond issuances in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos. Moreover, we recorded a reduction in interest income because of a lower cash position in key markets.
Additionally, we recognized a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 117 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to a loss of Ps. 59 million in the same period of the previous year. The loss this year was driven mainly by the quarterly appreciation of the Brazilian Real and the Costa Rican Colon as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated cash position, coupled with the quarterly depreciation of the Mexican peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position.
These effects were partially offset by the recognition of a higher gain in monetary positions in inflationary subsidiaries related to Argentina for Ps. 104 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 87 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.
Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 36.6% as compared to 33.4% during the same period of 2025. This increase was driven mainly by inflationary effects in Argentina and non-creditable taxes in Mexico.
Net income attributable to equity holders of the company decreased 15.5% to reach Ps. 4,342 million. This decrease was driven mainly by an increase in our comprehensive financing result, coupled with a decrease in our operating income. Earnings per share1 were Ps. 0.26 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 2.07 and per ADS were Ps. 20.67.).

DEFINITIONS
Volume is expressed in unit cases. Unit case refers to 192 ounces of finished beverage product (24 eight-ounce servings) and, when applied to soda fountains, refers to the volume of syrup, powders, and concentrate that is required to produce 192 ounces of finished beverage product.
Transactions refer to the number of single units (e.g., a can or a bottle) sold, regardless of their size or volume or whether they are sold individually or in multipacks, except for soda fountains, which represent multiple transactions based on a standard 12 oz. serving.
Operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure computed as “gross profit – operating expenses – other operating expenses, net + operative equity method (gain) loss in associates.”
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure computed as “operating income + depreciation + amortization & other operating non-cash charges.”
Earnings per share are equal to “quarterly earnings / outstanding shares.” Earnings per share (EPS) for all periods are adjusted to give effect to the stock split resulting in 16,806,658,096 shares outstanding. For the convenience of the reader, as a KOFUBL Unit is comprised of 8 shares (3 Series B shares and 5 Series L shares), earnings per unit are equal to EPS multiplied by 8. Each ADS represents 10 KOFUBL Units.
COMPARABILITY
Our “comparable” term means, with respect to a year-over-year comparison, the change of a given measure excluding translation effects resulting from exchange rate movements. In preparing this measure, management has used its best judgment, estimates, and assumptions to maintain comparability.
Due to the average depreciation of the Argentine peso and most of the operating currencies relative to the Mexican peso in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, we had an unfavorable currency translation effect into Mexican pesos. Please see page 14 for exchange rate fluctuations.
