Reporting Segments Update: In our continuous effort to improve our disclosure, we have updated FEMSA’s reporting segment structure to better reflect the scale, stage of development, and strategic differentiation of our various operations.  This updated structure should provide investors with greater visibility into the drivers of performance across our operations. Our updated reporting segments are as follows: i) OXXO Mexico; ii) Americas & Mobility which now includes all OXXO operations outside of Mexico (Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Peru and the U.S.), as well as the fuel operations in Mexico and the U.S; iii) Europe; iv) Health; and v) Coca-Cola FEMSA.  Only segments i) and ii) changed relative to our previous reporting structure.

Financial Summary for the First Quarter 2026
Change vs. comparable period

Jose Antonio Fernández Garza-Lagüera, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
        
“FEMSA delivered a strong set of results for the first quarter. OXXO improved its operating income by double-digits in its key markets, handily outpacing revenues and expanding margins, while Coca-Cola FEMSA demonstrated its resilience and flexibility in the face of a challenging consumer environment in the core Mexican market, partially offset by a strong performance in South America.  

We should highlight the sustained recovery at OXXO Mexico, building on the positive trends we first saw during the fourth quarter of last year, and delivering high-single-digit revenue growth on the back of continued expansion and strong same-store sales despite a volatile environment. During the quarter, we also began to see the benefits from a leaner overhead structure and increased efficiency. Beyond Mexico, our Americas and Mobility operations delivered a compelling set of numbers, particularly Chile, Peru and Colombia showing double-digit growth in same-store sales and a significant narrowing of losses as we steadily improve our footprint.

For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA gained market share in most of its markets and categories and achieved record volumes for a first quarter in several markets, including Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala.

As we look ahead towards what we expect should be a strong summer season due in part to the World Cup, we continue to like our current momentum across most of our business units, and we are optimistic as we execute against our long-term strategy in pursuit of sustainable profitable growth and despite the complex international macro environment.”
