The core Proximity Americas segment showed modest 4.8% revenue growth with flat same-store sales, indicating some consumer weakness in Mexico. However, Proximity Europe posted impressive 20.4% revenue growth and 57.2% operating income growth, helped by currency effects.

Coca-Cola FEMSA remains a strong performer with 10.7% revenue growth and 13.9% operating income growth. The digital segment shows promise with Spin by OXXO reaching 8.2 million active users. The company continues its strategic transformation through divestitures like Solistica while expanding into new markets with the Delek acquisition.

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

During the third quarter, most of our business units delivered encouraging results, with revenue growth and margin expansion across our income statement even as we continue to see a soft consumer environment in the second half of the year, particularly in our key Mexican market.

Proximity Americas had mixed trends in its same-store sales performance, with a growth in average ticket which offset a contraction in average traffic that reflected adverse weather in Mexico, a decline in volumes of our key beverage categories, and a demanding comparison base. However, stellar gross margin and continued solid store expansion once again set the division up for a good result. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA again delivered a notable set of numbers with double-digit growth in revenues and profits, reflecting positive dynamics in most markets which offset a softer performance in Mexico.

In similar fashion, Valora delivered strong results driven by a combination of solid execution and favorable currency effects, while OXXO Gas once again put together a robust set of numbers. Our Health division showed sequential improvement, reflecting better trends in certain markets as well as currency tailwinds, partially offset by the intense competitive environment in Mexico which the team is working hard to address. At Digital, the team made further progress growing our user base, with a focus on containing costs while generating more and better engagement, and recurring revenue.

During the quarter, we also continued to make progress with the remaining steps of FEMSA Forward, including the recent announcement that we signed a transaction to divest Solistica, and we closed the Delek transaction in the US, where we are already busy. We will keep you updated as we take on this exciting new challenge.

As we make a final push to achieve a strong close to the year, we are hard at work laying out the plans and objectives for an even better 2025. Once again, I want to thank our entire team for their unwavering effort and excellence.
