Mexico City (October 23, 2008), Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL, NYSE: KOF)(“Coca-Cola FEMSA” or the “Company”), the largest Coca-Cola bottler in Latin America and the second- largest Coca-Cola bottler in the world in terms of sales volume, announces results for the third quarter of 2008. 



"In the face of today's challenging economic environment, our company was able to deliver double-digit top-line growth this quarter. We continued to integrate our new franchise territory into our existing Brazilian operations with great results. In addition to the organic growth of our existing Brazilian operations, this acquisition accounted for half of our company's consolidated incremental top-line for the quarter, reinforcing this important engine for growth. In August, our company and The Coca-Cola Company entered into an agreement to jointly acquire the Brisa bottled water business in Colombia from Bavaria, a subsidiary of SAB Miller; this acquisition, once completed, will enable us to expand our product portfolio to satisfy consumers' preferences and advance our water strategy. We also started to distribute the Jugos Del Valle line of juice-based beverages in Colombia, Panama, and Nicaragua. This new line of business is helping us to introduce innovative new products such as Vallefrut in Mexico." said Carlos Salazar Lomelin, Chief Executive Officer of the company.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Until December 31, 2007, we applied inflationary accounting for all of our operations. Beginning January 1, 2008, in accordance with changes in the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards related to inflation effects, we discontinued inflation accounting for our subsidiaries in Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia and Brazil. For the rest of our subsidiaries (Argentina, Venezuela, Costa Rica and Nicaragua) we will continue applying the inflationary accounting method. The figures for 2007 are stated in Mexican pesos with purchasing power at December 31, 2007 (instead of being restated as of September 30, 2008 as would have been the case under the previous methodology) taking into account local inflation of each country with reference to the consumer price index and converted from local currency to Mexican pesos using the official exchange rate of December 31, 2007 published by the local central bank of each country.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2008, we decided to align our quarterly disclosure based on the way we manage the business. We have regrouped our operations into three divisions: (i) Mexico division, (ii) Latincentro division, which is comprised of the territories we operate in Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, and (iii) Mercosur division, which is comprised of the territories we operate in Brazil and Argentina.

Our consolidated total revenues increased 14.5% to Ps. 19,770 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to the third quarter of 2007, as a result of increases in all of our divisions, including the consolidation of the recently acquired franchise Refrigerantes Minas Gerais, Ltda. (“Remil”). Our consolidated average price per unit case increased 4.1% to Ps. 33.42 in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007, as a result of higher average prices in our Latincentro and Mercosur divisions.

Total sales volume increased 8.5% to 572.4 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007; excluding Remil, total sales volume increased 3.3% mainly driven by incremental volumes from brand Coca-Cola, our bottled water business and still beverages. Sparkling beverages sales volume increased 6.6% on a consolidated basis during the quarter, although this number would have grown almost 1.0% without the effect of the inclusion of Remil. Still beverages sales volume grew close to 100%, mainly driven by volumes from the Jugos del Valle brand in our Mexico division, accounting for more than 20% of incremental volumes. Bottled water, including bulk water, grew more than 8% representing the balance.

Our gross profit increased 10.9% to Ps. 9,396 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to the third quarter of 2007, driven by increases in our Mercosur and Latincentro divisions, with Mercosur contributing the majority of the growth. Gross margin reached 47.5% in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 49.1% in the same period of 2007. The margin decline was mainly driven by (i) lower profitability from the Jugos del Valle line of business as expected this year; (ii) higher sweetener costs in Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela; and (iii) higher PET costs in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina.

Our consolidated operating income increased 10.3% to Ps. 3,194 million in the third quarter of 2008, mainly driven by double-digit operating income growth in our Mercosur division. Our operating margin was 16.2% in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 60 basis points. Revenue growth and operating leverage partially compensated for higher cost of goods sold.

During the third quarter of 2008, we recorded Ps. 562 million in the other expenses line. These expenses were mainly driven by the write off of some fixed assets related to the closing of one of our production facilities in Mexico and the re-allocation of long term employee benefits previously recorded as long term assets in the balance sheet, in accordance with the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards.

Our integral result of financing in the third quarter of 2008 recorded an expense of Ps. 514 million as compared to Ps. 7 million in the same period of 2007, mainly due to a foreign exchange expense as applied to our U.S. denominated debt combined with a less favorable monetary position driven by non-inflationary accounting applied to certain divisions of our business.

During the third quarter of 2008, income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 38.3%, compared to 28.4% in the same quarter of 2007. This difference was mainly driven by additional tax provisions recorded during the quarter.

Our consolidated majority net income decreased by 35.5% to Ps. 1,252 million in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007, driven by an increase in the other expenses line combined with a higher integral result of financing recorded this quarter compared with the same period of last year. Earnings per share (EPS) were Ps. 0.68 (Ps 6.78 per ADR) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADR represents 10 local shares).

BALANCE SHEET

As of September 30, 2008, Coca-Cola FEMSA had a cash balance of Ps. 3,530 million, a decrease of Ps. 4,012 million, compared to December 31, 2007, mainly as a result of cash used in the acquisitions of Remil and the Agua de los Angeles jug water business.

Total short-term bank debt was Ps. 4,746 million and long-term debt was Ps. 10,993 million. Total debt decreased Ps. 3,177 million compared with year end 2007 mainly driven by the maturities of our “Certificados Bursatiles” in April and July 2008. As a result of both factors, net debt increased approximately Ps. 835 million compared to year end 2007. KOF’s total debt balance includes dollar denominated debt in the amount of US$ 795 million.

The weighted average cost of debt for the quarter was 7.20% . The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type and by maturity date as of September 30, 2008:

MEXICO DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS

In November 2007, Coca-Cola FEMSA together with The Coca-Cola Company acquired 100% of Jugos del Valle, S.A.B. de C.V. As of February 2008, we and the rest of the Coca-Cola bottlers are distributing the Jugos del Valle portfolio in our respective territories through the traditional channel. Volume, average price per unit case, cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to these products are recorded in our consolidated and Mexico division operating results. We do not expect to capture any profits from this line of business during 2008.

Revenues

Total revenues from our Mexico division increased 1.8% to Ps. 8,533 million in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Incremental volumes accounted for the incremental revenues during the quarter. Average price per unit case declined to Ps. 28.99, a 0.8% decline, as compared to the third quarter of 2007, reflecting (i) lower volumes in sparkling beverages and higher volumes of brand Coca-Cola in multiserve presentations, which were partially compensated with higher average prices per unit case from our still beverage category. Excluding bulk water under the brands Ciel and Agua de los Angeles, our average price per unit case was Ps. 34.18, a 0.6% increase as compared to the same period of 2007.

Total sales volume increased 2.5% to 293.2 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the third quarter of 2007, resulting from more than 9% volume growth in our bottled water business and incremental volumes in the still beverage category, increasing more than 200% driven by the Jugos del Valle product line, which more than compensated for a sales volume decline of 1.9% in sparkling beverages.

Operating Income

Our gross profit remained flat at Ps. 4,414 million in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007. Lower cost of sweeteners year-over-year offset higher PET resin and concentrate costs. Gross margin decreased from 52.6% in the third quarter of 2007 to 51.7% in the same period of 2008, driven by lower profitability from the Jugos del Valle line of business, as expected this year.

Operating income decreased 0.5% to Ps. 1,696 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to Ps. 1,705 million in the same period of 2007, as a result of revenue growth and lower operating expenses, which partially compensated for higher cost of goods sold. Our operating margin was 19.9% in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 40 basis points as compared to the same period of 2007.

October 23, 2008  Page 4  


LATINCENTRO DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS (Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama)

During this quarter Coca-Cola FEMSA started to distribute Jugos del Valle in Colombia, Panama and Nicaragua. Volume, average price per unit case, cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to these products are recorded in our consolidated and Latincentro division operating results.

Revenues

Total revenues reached Ps. 5,768 million in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 6.7% as compared to the same period of 2007. Volume growth accounted for close to 70% of incremental revenues. Average price per unit case increased 2.2% as a result of higher average prices per unit case in Venezuela which more than compensated for average price per unit case decreases in Colombia and Central America. Average price per unit case increased to Ps. 41.88 in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the third quarter of 2007.

Total sales volume in our Latincentro division increased 4.5% to 137.6 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the same period of 2007. Volume increase was mainly driven by (i) the growth of brand Coca-Cola, (ii) growth of flavored sparkling beverages across our territories in the Latincentro division and (iii) the introduction of the Jugos del Valle line of business in Colombia.

Operating Income

Gross profit reached Ps. 2,599 million, an increase of 3.3% in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the same period of 2007. Gross margin declined from 46.5% in the third quarter of 2007 to 45.1% in the same period of 2008. The gross margin decrease of 140 basis points was a consequence of lower revenues in Colombia and higher sweetener cost in Venezuela.

Our operating income increased 3.9% to Ps. 751 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to the third quarter of 2007, as a result of a tight control of operating expenses in Central America and Colombia which more than offset higher labor costs in Venezuela. Our operating margin reached 13.0% in the third quarter of 2008, resulting in a 40 basis points decrease as compared to the same period of 2007.

MERCOSUR DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS (Brazil and Argentina)

As of June 2008, Coca-Cola FEMSA is including the Remil operations in its Mercosur division. Volume and average price per unit case exclude beer results.

Revenues

Net revenues increased 56.0% to Ps. 5,392 million in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the same period of 2007. Excluding beer, net revenues increased 52.6% to Ps. 4,870 million in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the same period of 2007. Higher volumes, including Remil, accounted for more than 60% of incremental net revenues and average price per unit case increase represented the balance. Average price per unit case, excluding beer, increased 18.4% to Ps. 34.40 during the third quarter of 2008. Excluding Remil and beer, net revenues increased 12.1% reaching Ps. 3,578 million. Total revenues from beer in Brazil were Ps. 522 million in the third quarter of 2008, including Remil’s beer sales.

Sales volume, excluding beer, increased 28.8% to 141.6 million unit cases in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the third quarter of 2007. Sales volume, excluding Remil and beer increased 4.1% to reach 114.4 million unit cases. Sparkling beverages sales volume growth, excluding Remil, accounted for more than 75% of the incremental volumes, driven by brand Coca-Cola and the strong performance of Coca-Cola Zero. Bottled water and still beverages provided the balance. Excluding Remil, Brazil accounted for more than 70% of incremental volumes and Argentina provided the balance.

Operating Income

In the third quarter of 2008, our gross profit increased 54.1% to Ps. 2,383 million, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Our Mercosur gross margin decreased 100 basis points to 43.6% in the third quarter of 2008 mainly driven by higher sweetener and resin costs in Brazil and Argentina, as compared to the same period of last year.

Operating income increased 59.6% reaching Ps. 747 million in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to Ps. 468 million in the same period of 2007. Operating leverage achieved by higher revenues, including Remil, more than compensated for (i) higher expenses related to expansion in our cooler coverage and renewal of our distribution fleet in Brazil, (ii) an increase in sales force to strengthen our presence and execution in certain retail segments in Brazil and iii) higher labor costs in Argentina. Our operating margin was 13.7% in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 20 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2007.

SUMMARY OF NINE-MONTHS RESULTS

Our consolidated total revenues increased 10.5% to Ps. 56,248 million in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to the same period of 2007, as a result of growth in all of our divisions; Mexico and Latincentro accounted for close to 40% of this growth and Mercosur represented the balance. Excluding Remil, our consolidated total revenues increased 7.2% to Ps. 54,566 million. Consolidated average price per unit case increased 4.2% to Ps. 33.30 in the first nine months of 2008. Higher average prices per unit case, mainly in our Mercosur division, combined with the integration of the Jugos del Valle line of business which carries higher average price per unit case in our Mexico division, drove this increase.

Total sales volume increased 5.2% to 1,643.0 million unit cases in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to the same period of the previous year. Sales volume growth in our Mexico and Mercosur divisions accounted for the majority of our incremental volumes. Sparkling beverages sales accounted for more than 60% of incremental volumes and our water business and still beverages, represented the balance. Excluding Remil, total sales volume increased 2.9% to reach 1,608.3 million unit cases.

Our gross profit increased 10.4% to Ps. 26,899 million in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to the same period of the previous year, driven by gross profit growth across all of our divisions. Gross margin reached 47.8% during the first nine months of 2008 remaining flat as compared to the same period of 2007 despite of lower profitability from the Jugos del Valle line of business in Mexico, as expected this year.

Our consolidated operating income increased 12.1% to Ps. 9,248 million in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to the same period of 2007. Our Mercosur and Latincentro divisions accounted for more than 80% of this growth and our Mexico division represented the balance. Our operating margin improved 20 basis points to 16.4% in the first nine months of 2008, mainly driven by the improved operating leverage that resulted from higher revenues and a tight control on expenses.

Our consolidated majority net income was Ps. 4,747 million in the first nine months of 2008 a decrease of 4.8% compared to the same period of 2007. Operating income growth partially offset expenses recorded in the other expenses line in conjunction with a higher integral result of financing as compared with the same period of last year.
