momentum across Coca-Cola FEMSA’s main markets, should continue to support

growth - on top of sustained shareholder returns and potential upside from Spin’s

venture into lending. We reiterate our Buy rating on FEMSA shares and expect a

positive price reaction to the results today.

1. FEMSA delivered a clean and consistent beat in 2Q. Reported EBITDA was +4%

above Bloomberg consensus (GSe: +5%), supported by strong top-line

performance not only in its core OXXO Mexico business unit, but also within

Proximity Americas and Proximity Europe. Excluding Coca-Cola FEMSA, FEMSA’s

underlying retail EBITDA would have printed +7% ahead of consensus. We also

note lower volatility below the line, with normalizing financial results, effective

tax rate, and minority interest. All in, headline EPS was +14% higher than our

estimate, which we believe should help investors gain additional comfort on

forward valuation.

2. Benchmark results at OXXO Mexico. FEMSA demonstrated continued

execution in OXXO Mexico, delivering a compelling balance between growth and

profitability during the quarter.
