Insights

Financial Reporting Analyst

Balance-sheet snapshot shows sizeable cash, material intangible assets, and meaningful leverage.

The balance-sheet translation uses an exchange rate of Ps.18.8292 per U.S.$1.00. Cash and equivalents of U.S.$6,895M and total current assets of U.S.$17,168M provide near-term liquidity coverage against reported current liabilities of U.S.$12,819M. Intangible assets net of U.S.$7,781M are disclosed as mainly from business acquisitions, which affects non-current asset composition.

On the liability side, long-term bank loans of U.S.$7,234M and total liabilities of U.S.$26,872M indicate material financing exposure. Monitor scheduled maturities and covenant terms in future disclosures to assess refinancing risk within the next 12–24 months.

Corporate Finance Analyst

Liquidity appears adequate short term, while debt stock is a key medium-term metric to monitor.

Current assets of U.S.$17,168M exceed current liabilities of U.S.$12,819M, suggesting working-capital coverage. The company holds U.S.$6,895M in cash equivalents which supports operational flexibility and near-term obligations.

Material long-term borrowings (U.S.$7,234M) and lease liabilities (current+long-term ~U.S.$5,833M) are disclosed; watch refinancing activity, interest-cost disclosures, and any future changes to lease accounting over the coming fiscal year.

Consolidated Results from our Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Total Revenues

Consolidated total revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 8.3% to Ps. 406,812 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase principally reflects growth across all business units. Coca-Cola FEMSA’s revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 6.7% to Ps. 142,703 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase was driven mainly by revenue management initiatives, favorable currency translation effects from most of the operating currencies into Mexican pesos, and volume increases in Argentina, Uruguay, and Guatemala. This was partially offset by a decline in volume, which included decreases in Mexico, Colombia, and flat performance in Brazil. FEMSA’s Proximity Americas Division’s revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 6.9% to Ps. 158,844 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase was driven mainly by store expansion and currency tailwinds relative to U.S. and South American currencies, as well as the consolidation of its U.S. operation into the results. The expansion included the opening of 1,500 total net store additions for the last twelve months, which includes 249 stores from our acquisition of Delek’s retail operations in the U.S. Proximity Europe Division’s revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 24.9% to Ps. 27,974 million, compared to the first six months of 2024, principally due to a relevant favorable effect from the appreciation of the Euro and the Swiss Franc against the Mexican peso. Also, this included an increase in retail sales particularly in Switzerland, partially offset by lower sales in B2B and B2C foodservice businesses. FEMSA’s Health Division’s revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 18.3% to Ps. 43,822 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase was driven mainly by positive performance in Colombia, Ecuador and Chile; coupled by the appreciation of currencies against the Mexican peso. This was partially offset by the negative results in Mexico, which included the closing of 432 net locations during the last twelve months. FEMSA’s Fuel Division revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 1.2% to Ps. 32,338 million, compared to the first six months of 2024, driven mainly by a 5.2% average same-station sales increase, which includes a 2.0% growth in average volume and 3.1% increase in the average price per liter.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit for the first six months of 2025 increased by 9.2% to Ps. 164,686 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. Consolidated gross margin increased 30 basis points to 40.5% of total revenues compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase mainly reflects a gross margin expansion at the Proximity Americas and Fuel Divisions. This was partially offset by a margin contraction at the Proximity Europe Division and stable margins at Coca-Cola FEMSA and the Health Division. The Proximity Americas expansion is supported by continued growth in commercial income and financial services at OXXO Mexico, partially offset by the lower margin of the U.S. operation.

Administrative Expenses

Consolidated administrative expenses for the first six months of 2025 increased by 13.3% to Ps. 20,214 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. As a percentage of total revenues, consolidated administrative expenses increased 20 basis points, from 4.8% during the first six months of 2024 to 5.0% during the first six months of 2025. This increase principally reflects growth in Proximity Americas and Coca-Cola FEMSA, partially offset by contractions in our Fuel, Health and Proximity Europe divisions.

Selling Expenses

Consolidated selling expenses for the first six months of 2025 increased by 11.3% to Ps. 113,460 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. As a percentage of total revenues, consolidated selling expenses increased 70 basis points, from 27.2% during the first six months of 2024 to 27.9% during the first six months of 2024. This increase in consolidated total selling expenses mainly reflects: (i) higher labor costs, driven by a low double-digit increase in the minimum wage in Mexico, and (ii) the company's accelerated store expansion and consolidation of its U.S. operations in Proximity Americas. This was partially offset by tight expense control and efficiency gains across our operations.

Other Income

Other income for the first six months of 2025 increased by 108.9% to Ps. 908 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. The increase mainly reflects a higher foreign exchange gain compared to the first six months of 2024.

Other Expenses

Other expenses for the first six months of 2025 increased by 17.4% to Ps. 1,841 million, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase mainly reflects: (i) ancillary charges from a one-time non-recurrent payment related to a contingency during 2025, partially offset by (ii) lower property, plant and equipment obsolescence provisions.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange loss was Ps. 3,660 million in the first six months of 2025, as compared to a gain of Ps. 5,008 million recorded during the same period of 2024, related to FEMSA’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position, which was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican peso. The depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican peso on June 30, 2025 was 6%, compared to an appreciation of the U.S. dollar of 9% on June 30, 2024.

Monetary Position

For the first six months of 2025, we recognized a higher gain in monetary position, recording Ps. 155 million compared to Ps. 37 million for the first six months of 2024.

Market Value of Financial Instruments

The market value of financial instruments registered a gain of Ps. 1,662 million during the first six months of 2025, as compared to a loss of Ps. 374 million during the same period of 2024. The gain in 2025 is related to the remaining position in Heineken, which had an appreciation of 19% in the shares price.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

Net interest expense for the first six months of 2025 was Ps. 6,281 million, compared to a net expense of Ps. 3,434 million in the same period of 2024, mainly driven by higher interest expense and a decrease in interest income from our cash position.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2025 was Ps. 9,100 million as compared to Ps. 9,936 million over the first six months of 2024, resulting in an effective tax rate of 41.4% for the first six months of 2025, as compared to 31.9% in the same period in 2024. This increase in the effective tax rate 2025 in comparison to 2024 mainly reflects: (i) non-recoverable tax losses from Spin and non-deductible labor related expenses in Mexico, both of which weighed more heavily given the lower pre-tax profits caused by FX losses relating to our U.S. dollar cash balances; and (ii) a one-time non-recurrent payment related to a contingency from 2018.

Share of the Profit (Loss) of Equity Accounted Investees, Net of Taxes

Share of the loss of equity accounted investees, net of taxes, for the first six months of 2025 increased to Ps. 655 million, as compared to the first six months of 2024, mainly reflecting a loss in Grupo Nós, our joint venture in Brazil.

Consolidated Net Income

Consolidated net income for the first six months of 2025 decreased by 32.3% to Ps. 14,533 million, as compared to the first six months of 2024. This decrease mainly reflects: (i) a higher base from the first six months of 2024, which included a non-cash foreign exchange gain of Ps. 5,008 million compared to a Ps. 3,660 million loss in 2025, (ii) a higher net interest expense of Ps. 6,281 million compared to Ps. 3,434 million in 2024, and (iii) an increase in income taxes. These were partially offset by a higher other financial income of Ps. 1,817 million, reflecting a financial instrument gain of Ps. 1,107 million and a gain in net income from discontinued operations due to the sale of our plastic solutions operations in 2025 of Ps. 2,333 million, as compared to 2024 reflecting the net income of the discontinued operations of Alpunto and Solistica of Ps. 525 million.

The following discussion addresses the financial performance of each of our reportable segments by comparing results for the first six-month period ended 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Coca-Cola FEMSA

Coca-Cola FEMSA’s consolidated total revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 6.7%, compared to the first six months of 2025. This increase in segment operating revenues mainly reflects revenue management initiatives and favorable currency translation effects. These factors were partially offset by a decline in volume, driven mainly by decreases in Mexico and Colombia.

Coca-Cola FEMSA’s gross margin was 45.4% for the first six months of 2025, compared to 45.3% for the first six months of 2024. This increase was mainly driven by lower sweetener costs, top-line growth, and raw material hedging initiatives. These effects were partially offset by higher fixed costs, such as labor, and the depreciation of operating currencies as applied to U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.

Proximity Americas Division

The Proximity Americas Division’s total revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 6.9%, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase in segment operating revenues principally reflects store expansion including the consolidation of our U.S. operations and favorable currency tailwinds relative to the U.S. and South American currencies. This was partially offset by a decline in same-store sales driven by a decrease in store traffic, which was impacted by adverse weather conditions and a persistently soft consumer environment.

Gross margin reached 43.7% of total revenues for the first six months of 2025, compared to 43.1% for the first six months of 2024. This increase mainly reflects continued growth in commercial income and financial services, which was partially offset the consolidation of the U.S. operation, that carries a lower margin structure, and the Latam region, which remains in a development phase.

Proximity Europe Division

The Proximity Europe Division’s total revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 24.9%, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase in segment operating revenues mainly reflects a relevant favorable effect from the appreciation of the Euro and the Swiss Franc against the Mexican peso. The growth was driven by increased retail sales, particularly in Switzerland, which were partially offset by lower sales in our B2B and B2C foodservice businesses.

Gross margin reached 41.7% of total revenues for the first six months of 2025, compared to 43.3% for the first six months of 2024. This decrease mainly reflects lower B2B and B2C foodservice sales, a product-mix effect from higher tobacco sales, and changes to the operating model within our retail operations.

Health Division

The Health Division’s total revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 18.3%, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase in segment operating revenues mainly reflects revenue growth across Colombia, Chile and Ecuador, benefited by the appreciation of currencies against the Mexican peso. This was partially offset by negative results in Mexico, driven by a challenging competitive environment and store closures.

Gross margin was 29.5% for the first months of 2025, in line with the first six months of 2024 which reflected also 29.5%. This flat margin mainly reflects strategic commercial initiatives, increased profitability in Chile, and efficiencies from our centralized purchasing office. These factors were partially offset by a challenging competitive environment and store closures in Mexico.

Fuel Division

The Fuel Division’s total revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased by 1.2%, compared to the first six months of 2024. This increase in segment operating revenues mainly reflects an increase in average same-station sales, driven by growth in average volume and price per liter.

Gross margin reached 12.3% of total revenues for the first six months of 2025, compared to 11.7% for the first six months of 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated Total Indebtedness

Our consolidated total indebtedness as of June 30, 2025 was Ps. 155,564 million, compared to Ps. 148,204 million as of December 31, 2024. Short-term debt (including maturities of long-term debt) and long-term debt were Ps. 19,349 million and Ps. 136,215 million as of June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to Ps. 9,053 million and Ps. 139,151 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents were Ps. 129,825 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to Ps. 139,834 million as of December 31, 2024.

On May 6, 2025, our subsidiary Coca-Cola FEMSA issued U.S.$500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.100% senior notes due May 6, 2035. These notes are guaranteed by guarantors of Coca-Cola FEMSA. The indenture governing these notes imposes certain conditions upon a consolidation or merger by us and restricts the incurrence of liens and the entering into sale and leaseback transactions by us and our significant subsidiaries.

The table below sets forth our contractual obligations of our long-term debt as of June 30, 2025.

Principal Sources and Uses of Cash

The following is a summary of the principal sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 from our consolidated statement of cash flows:

		For the six months June 30,
		2025				2024
		(in millions)
		(unaudited)
Net cash flows generated by operating activities		Ps.	23,852			Ps.	33,620
Net cash flows generated by (used in) investing activities			3,298				(31,986)
Net cash flows used in financing activities			(34,106)				(48,777)
Dividends paid			(20,164)				(7,922)

Our net cash generated by operating activities decreased Ps. 9,768 million to Ps. 23,852 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to Ps. 33,620 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily the result of a negative change in suppliers of Ps. 9,928 derived from increased payments of trade payables compared to 2024.

Our net cash generated by investing activities increased by Ps. 35,283 million to Ps. 3,298 million for the six months of 2025, compared to a net cash used in investing activities of Ps. 31,986 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily the result of: (i) higher cash inflows from the divestitures of the remaining economic interest in Heineken and PTM of Ps. 10,811 million in 2025, and, (ii) higher cash inflows of Ps. 24,075 from settlement of investments in 2025 that are now part of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to 2024.

Our net cash used in financing activities decreased by Ps. 14,671 million resulting in a decrease in our used cash flow to Ps. 34,106 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to Ps. 48,777 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of: (i) higher cash inflows mainly related to proceeds from senior notes issued by Coca-Cola FEMSA of Ps. 12,699, (ii) lower cash outflows from shares repurchase of Ps. 13,063, and (iii) higher cash outflows from dividend payments of Ps. 12,242 in line with the FEMSA Forward strategy for capital allocation as approved by the Board of Directors as compared to 2024.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures, net of disposals, were Ps. 17,987 million during the first six months of 2025, compared to 18,242 for the same period in 2024, and were primarily funded with cash from operations generated by our subsidiares. The amount invested during the first six months of 2025 was driven by the construction and openings of new stores and locations, as well as the refurbishment of existing stores.

Hedging Activities

In the ordinary course of business we may enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to market risks related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity price risk. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following table provides a summary of the fair value and maturity of derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2025.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The information presented below concerns recent developments since the original filing of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 on April 24, 2025.

On May 19, 2025, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution in the U.S. to repurchase certain of our shares through the acquisition of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”). Under the terms of the ASR agreement, we agreed to repurchase from such financial institution an aggregate amount of U.S. $250 million of our ADS. On May 20, 2025, we received an initial delivery of 483,559 ADS subject to the ASR agreement. The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the ASR agreement will be based on the daily volume-weighted average price of our ADS during the term of the agreement, less a discount. The final settlement of the ASR agreement is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

On May 20, 2025, we sold our remaining stake in Heineken Holding N.V., through the offer of about 5.2 million shares priced at €68.70 ($77.32) a piece.

The transaction included our transportation management operations in Mexico, as well as our contract logistics operations in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil, but did not include our LTL (less-than-truckload) operations in Brazil.

On September 4, 2025, we entered into definitive agreements with Raízen, S.A. (“Raízen”) to amicably terminate our joint venture in Brazil known as “Grupo Nós” that includes OXXO proximity stores and Shell Select convenience stores, allowing both companies to focus on their respective business‘ strategies. Under the terms of the agreement, FEMSA will retain all the OXXO stores in Brazil, as well as the distribution center located in Cajamar, São Paulo, while Raízen will retain all the Shell Select convenience stores. Completion of the separation of the OXXO stores and the Shell Select convenience stores is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and is expected to close in the coming months.

On September 17, 2025, we announced that, based on our senior leadership succession planning process and consistent with the plan detailed on FEMSA’s Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 earnings press release dated February 27, 2025, our Board of Directors has appointed Jose Antonio Fernández Garza-Lagüera, currently Chief Executive Officer of FEMSA Proximity & Health, to become FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer effective as of November 1, 2025.
