Daniel Rodríguez Cofré, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Our third quarter results reflect sustained positive momentum across our business units. OXXO Mexico delivered another strong set of numbers, with accelerating traffic growth on top of robust ticket expansion and reflecting a resilient consumer environment. We again saw some of our key categories performing extremely well, delivering strong top line performance, that combined with a leaner expense structure produced solid operating leverage. On the Digital front, we continued to add OXXO Premia and Spin by OXXO customers at an accelerated pace, but more importantly, Spin by OXXO received its definitive authorization to operate as a fintech in Mexico. This is a relevant milestone and will allow us to continue pursuing our ambition to become the preeminent fintech in Mexico.
Beyond Mexico, Proximity continued to grow at a good pace in most markets, and we closed the acquisition of Valora earlier this month. OXXO Gas had another strong quarter on the back of increased vehicle mobility which drove strong volume recovery, finally getting back to pre-COVID levels. And FEMSA Health delivered stable results against a demanding comparison base while facing a challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly in Chile. For its part, Logistics and Distribution had a strong quarter driven by a standout performance at Envoy Solutions, showing strong top-line growth and stable margins. Finally, Coca-Cola FEMSA also had a strong set of results with volumes increasing across territories and double-digit growth at the top and bottom-lines.
Against this backdrop of strong operational momentum and with such a rich opportunity set ahead of us, we want to thank and recognize John Santa Maria and Alfonso Garza for their extraordinary contributions to the FEMSA success story over so many decades, and we also congratulate Ian Craig and Constantino Spas for their new positions. We look forward to the exciting future Ian and Constantino will help us build.”
