Rhea-AI Filing Summary
BBB Foods Inc. (Tiendas 3B) reported strong top-line growth in 2Q26, with total revenue of Ps. 26,037 million, up 38.7% year over year, driven mainly by mature stores and 593 net new stores added over the last 12 months. Same Store Sales rose 20.0%, and the company opened 155 net new stores, reaching 3,624 locations plus 21 distribution centers.
Gross profit grew 43.4% to Ps. 4,362 million, with gross margin expanding 54 bps to 16.8%. EBITDA was Ps. 960 million (margin 3.7%), up 13.8%, but was heavily affected by non-cash share-based payment expense of Ps. 615 million. Excluding this, EBITDA rose 43.8% to Ps. 1,575 million and margin improved to 6.1%. Administrative expenses nearly doubled, reflecting higher share-based costs, growth investments and Ps. 37 million of non-recurring follow-on offering expenses.
Despite operational strength, the company recorded a net loss of Ps. 386 million in 2Q26, wider than Ps. 286 million a year earlier, due to higher financial costs, foreign exchange losses and income tax expense. For 1H26, revenue increased 36.2% to Ps. 48,898 million, while EBITDA ex share-based payments grew 41.5%. Operating cash flow was robust at Ps. 4,285 million (up 119.2%), supporting fully self-funded expansion and higher cash and short-term deposits on the balance sheet.
