  • Challenging expense environment for Proximity Americas

FEMSA's Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust growth across most of its business segments, reflecting the company's resilience in a challenging economic environment. The 12.2% increase in total consolidated revenues is particularly impressive, indicating strong consumer demand and effective pricing strategies.

Key highlights include:

  • Proximity Americas' revenue growth of 8.9%, with same-store sales up 4.1%, showcasing the strength of FEMSA's core retail business.
  • Coca-Cola FEMSA's outstanding performance, with 13.1% revenue growth and 7.5% volume growth, signaling effective market penetration and product mix optimization.
  • Digital segment's rapid user base expansion, with Spin by OXXO growing 37.0% and Spin Premia up 44.3%, indicating successful digital transformation efforts.

However, the Health division's performance is concerning, with a 0.4% revenue decline and a 14.8% drop in operating income. This underperformance in a typically stable sector warrants closer attention and may require strategic reassessment.

The company's focus on capital allocation, including dividend payments and share buybacks, demonstrates a commitment to shareholder value. The recent divestiture of non-core assets aligns with FEMSA's strategy to streamline operations and focus on high-growth areas.

Overall, FEMSA's diversified business model and strong performance in key segments position it well for continued growth, despite challenges in specific areas like the Health division.

FEMSA's Q2 2024 results reveal intriguing market trends and consumer behaviors across its diverse portfolio. The 4.1% same-store sales growth in Proximity Americas, despite challenges like shifted Holy Week timing and alcohol sales restrictions, indicates resilient consumer spending patterns. This resilience is particularly noteworthy given the current inflationary pressures in many markets.

The digital segment's performance is especially telling of changing consumer preferences:

  • Spin by OXXO's 37.0% user growth suggests increasing adoption of digital payment solutions.
  • Spin Premia's 44.3% growth in active loyalty users, coupled with a 36.1% average tender, indicates strong consumer engagement and the effectiveness of loyalty programs in driving sales.

The contrasting performance between Proximity Americas and the Health division highlights the importance of market-specific strategies. While the convenience store model thrives, the healthcare retail sector faces unique challenges, possibly due to changing consumer behaviors post-pandemic or increased competition from online pharmacies.

Coca-Cola FEMSA's strong volume growth of 7.5% is particularly impressive in the beverage industry, where many markets are seeing a shift away from sugary drinks. This suggests effective product innovation and marketing strategies that resonate with consumers.

The fuel segment's 15.9% same-store sales growth indicates robust demand, possibly driven by increased mobility as pandemic restrictions ease globally. This trend could have positive implications for other segments of FEMSA's business that benefit from increased foot traffic.

José Antonio Fernandez Carbajal, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:

During the second quarter, we continued to see good momentum and strong performance from our core business units. Once again, most of our operations, including the two that contribute most to our results, delivered solid numbers. Proximity Americas saw a deceleration in the pace of same-store sales growth in Mexico against a tough comparison base, due in part to a shift in the timing of Holy Week celebrations, volatile weather, and the restriction of alcohol sales ahead of the national election, but offset by stellar gross margin and solid store expansion. Despite a challenging expense environment, Proximity Americas generated solid growth in operating income. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA delivered a remarkable set of numbers showing double-digit increases across its own income statement, driven once again by strong volume and revenue growth in its major markets.

We continued to see good results at Valora and OXXO Gas, with both businesses delivering double-digit growth in operating income. However, at our Health division we again faced competitive headwinds in Mexico offset by a stable performance in Chile and continued solid results in Colombia retail, and we are laser-focused with our plans to change the trajectory in Mexico to bring it in line with the positive dynamics we see elsewhere at FEMSA. Finally, at Digital, we continued to add users and advance towards our ecosystem objectives.

During the quarter, we also made strides on the execution of our capital allocation framework, actively utilizing both the dividend and share buyback levers to return capital to shareholders. And in early July, we received the remaining payments for the divestiture of our stake in Jetro Restaurant Depot, and we signed agreements to divest our refrigeration and foodservice equipment operations, as we continue to act on our stated objectives.

I want to thank our entire team for yet another quarter of excellent effort and results. We are maintaining the push into the second half of the year, confident that we can further maintain our positive momentum.
