FEMSA CEO Highlights Future Growth Opportunities

Jose Antonio Fernandez Garza-Laguera, CEO, commented: "As I begin my tenure at the helm of this amazing Company, I am humbled by the responsibility but excited at the size and relevance of the opportunities ahead for FEMSA. The people that built this business over the past 135 years, and those who led them before me, created one of the premier enterprises not only in Mexico or Latin America, but I truly believe, in the world. I am convinced we have in OXXO and Coca-Cola FEMSA, two of the most remarkable and valuable assets in their respective global industries, not just because of what they represent today, but just as importantly, what they can become in the future. There are many opportunities for our retail and beverage platforms to continue to grow, in Mexico and beyond, consistent with our strategic intent of creating economic and social value wherever we operate. During the fourth quarter, our results in Mexico maintained the positive trend that we first saw during the third quarter, particularly at OXXO, where traffic continued to recover sequentially helping us achieve comparable sales approaching the mid-single digit range. Outside of Mexico, OXXO again showed positive dynamics in South America, and we were able to close the transaction giving us full ownership of OXXO Brazil, while in Europe the team delivered strong operating income for the period. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA closed the year on a strong note, with consolidated volume growth and the highest December volumes in its history for the four largest operations. Beyond the operational results, we have launched an important restructuring effort that includes the integration of the corporate teams from the Proximity & Health division into FEMSA corporate, creating a flatter, more efficient structure, as well as aligning Spin closer to OXXO and refocusing our digital strategy to maximize the combined potential of our unique platform. The efficiency and top line benefits derived from this effort will ramp up during this year and will be fully in place for 2027 and beyond. As we look ahead at 2026, despite still facing a soft but stabilizing consumer environment and recently implemented taxes on important categories in our key Mexico market, we like our current momentum across most of our business units, and we are optimistic that the resilience and strength of our geographically diversified platform will again serve us well as we pursue our ambitious growth agenda."
