As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we will make learnings and adjustments to our plans that will deliver longterm value.

CONSOLIDATED SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Volume decreased 5.5% to 1,035.3 million unit cases, driven mainly by volume declines in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Panama. These declines were partially offset by volume increases in Argentina, Uruguay, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
Total revenues increased 5.0% to Ps. 72,917 million. This increase was driven mainly by revenue management initiatives and favorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies into Mexican pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 2.4%.
Gross profit increased 3.4% to Ps. 33,042 million, and gross margin contracted 70 basis points to 45.3%. This contraction was driven mainly by lower operating leverage, unfavorable mix effects, and higher fixed costs such as labor, coupled with the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. These effects were partially offset by lower sweetener costs and raw material hedging initiatives. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 0.9%.
Operating income increased 0.2% to Ps. 9,767 million, and operating margin contracted 60 basis points to 13.4%. This margin contraction was driven mainly by higher operating expenses such as labor and maintenance, coupled with an increase in marketing and depreciation. These effects were partially offset by cost and expense efficiencies, an operating foreign exchange gain, and lower freight expenses. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income decreased 2.6%.
Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 1,189 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 885 million in the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by a higher interest expense, net, of Ps. 1,475 million as compared to Ps. 1,157 million in the same period of the previous year driven by higher interest expenses mainly related to the U.S. dollar-denominated bond due 2035 issued during the second quarter, coupled with an increase in interest rates in Brazil and new financing in Colombia.
In addition, we recognized a lower foreign exchange gain of Ps. 55 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to a gain of Ps. 177 million in the same period of the previous year. The gain this year was driven mainly by the quarterly appreciation of the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated net debt position. This effect was partially offset by the quarterly appreciation of the Brazilian Real as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated cash position in Brazil.
On the other hand, we recorded a higher gain in financial instruments of Ps. 154 million, as compared to Ps. 61 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, and a higher gain in monetary positions in inflationary subsidiaries related to Argentina for Ps. 77 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 34 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.
Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 36.2% as compared to 34.9% during the same period of 2024. This increase was driven mainly by non-recurring effects from previous fiscal years coupled with non-creditable taxes.
Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 5,312 million as compared to Ps. 5,608 million during the same period of the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by the increase in the comprehensive financing results. Earnings per share were Ps. 0.32 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 2.53 and per ADS were Ps. 25.29.).
CONSOLIDATED FIRST SIX MONTHS RESULTS
Volume decreased 3.9% to 2,021.8 million unit cases, driven mainly by volume declines in Mexico and Colombia. These declines were partially offset by increases in Argentina, Uruguay, and Guatemala and a flattish performance in Brazil.
Total revenues increased 6.7% to Ps. 142,703 million. This increase was driven mainly by revenue management initiatives and favorable currency translation effects from most of our operating currencies into Mexican pesos. Excluding currency translation effects, total revenues increased 5.4%.
Gross profit increased 6.9% to Ps. 64,716 million, and gross margin expanded 10 basis points to 45.4%. This performance was driven mainly by lower sweetener costs, top-line growth, and raw material hedging initiatives. These effects were partially offset by higher fixed costs, such as labor, and the depreciation of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollardenominated raw material costs. Excluding currency translation effects, gross profit increased 5.3%.
Operating income increased 3.3% to Ps. 18,986 million, and operating margin contracted 40 basis points to 13.3%. This margin contraction was driven mainly by lower operating leverage, driven by an increase in expenses such as labor, maintenance, marketing, and depreciation. These effects were partially offset by lower freight expenses. Excluding currency translation effects, operating income increased 0.7%.
Comprehensive financing result recorded an expense of Ps. 2,308 million, compared to an expense of Ps. 2,080 million in the same period of the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by a higher interest expense, net, of Ps. 2,749 million as compared to Ps. 2,341 million in the same period of the previous year as a result of higher interest expense mainly driven by our U.S. dollar-denominated bond due 2035 issued during the second quarter, coupled with an increase in interest rates in Brazil and new financing in Argentina and Colombia.
In addition, we recognized a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 1 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 204 million in the same period of the previous year, this gain in the previous year was driven mainly by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and the Mexican Peso as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated cash position during the same period of the previous year.
These effects were partially offset by a higher gain in financial instruments of Ps. 288 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 15 million in the same period of the previous year, resulting from a decrease in the floating interest rate as compared to the previous year.
Finally, we recognized a higher gain in monetary positions in inflationary subsidiaries related to Argentina for Ps. 154 million as compared to a gain of Ps. 42 million in the same period of the previous year.
Income tax as a percentage of income before taxes was 34.8% as compared to 32.9% during the same period of 2024. This increase was driven mainly by non-recurring effects from previous fiscal years coupled with non-creditable taxes and inflationary effects.
Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was Ps. 10,450 million as compared to Ps 10,598 million during the same period of the previous year. This decrease was driven mainly by higher comprehensive financing result and higher income taxes that were partially offset by a slight increase in our operating income. Earnings per share were Ps. 0.62 (Earnings per unit were Ps. 4.97 and per ADS were Ps. 49.74).
