Mexico City (April 28, 2005), Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL, NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA” or the “Company”), the largest Coca-Cola bottler in Latin America and the second-largest Coca-Cola bottler in the world in terms of sales volume, announces results for the first quarter 2005.
 
“Our first-quarter results underscore the importance of our geographic diversification to our near- and long-term growth story. With the successful integration of our eight acquired territories, we have consolidated our position in markets that offer sustainable and profitable growth for our shareholders. Our diversification in regions with different seasons and economic cycles enabled us to produce better balanced top- and bottom-line results for the quarter." said Carlos Salazar, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Consolidated Results

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Our consolidated revenues were Ps. 11,230 million in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 1.5% over the same period of 2004, as a result of increases in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela, which more than offset revenue declines in Mexico and Central America. Consolidated average price per unit case in the first quarter of 2005 was Ps. 25.00 (US$2.24)1, a decrease of 0.2% compared to the same quarter of 2004, driven by lower prices for our products in Mexico and Central America.

Total sales volume reached 446.8 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 1.4% as compared to the first quarter of 2004. Sales volume growth in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia more than offset sales volume declines in Mexico and Central America. Carbonated soft drinks sales volume grew 2.0% in the first quarter of 2005, mainly driven by sales volume growth in Brazil.

Our gross profit in the first quarter of 2005 was Ps. 5,349 million, an increase of 0.8% compared with the first quarter of 2004. Gross margin decreased 30 basis points from 47.9% in the first quarter of 2004 to 47.6% in the same period of 2005, due to higher revenues.

Our consolidated operating income in the first quarter of 2005 was Ps. 1,689 million, an increase of 2.7%, as a result of operating income increases in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Central America, which more than offset operating income decline in Mexico. Our operating margin was 15.0% in the first quarter of 2005, an improvement of 10 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Despite a 13.2% reduction in interest expenses, our integral cost of financing increased to Ps. 291 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to Ps. 26 million in the first quarter of 2004. This increase was mainly driven by lower gain in our monetary position resulting from lower inflation rates recorded in Mexico in the first quarter of 2005 as applied to our lower net liability position.

During the first quarter of 2005, income tax, tax on assets and employee profit sharing as a percentage of income before taxes was 45.0%. In April 2004, the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice issued a ruling with respect to rules previously issued by the Mexican Ministry of Finance. This ruling requires refrigerators to be treated as fixed assets with finite useful lives. We had previously considered refrigerators as an expense for tax purposes. Tax payments in connection with this change of criteria resulted in a charge to income in 2004. During March 2005, the tax authorities reviewed the payments in connection with this change in criteria, which resulted in an additional one-time payment in Mexico in the amount of Ps. 118 million. Excluding this one-time payment our income tax, tax on assets and employee profit sharing as a percentage of income before taxes was 35.9%.

Our consolidated majority net income was Ps. 695 million in the first quarter of 2005, a decrease of 23.3% compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to the aforementioned reasons. Earnings per share (“EPS”) were Ps. 0.38 (US$0.34 per ADR) computed on the basis of 1,846.5 million shares outstanding (each ADR represents 10 local shares). Excluding the non-recurrent item mentioned above our consolidated majority net income was Ps. 813 million, resulting in EPS of Ps. 0.44 (US$0.39 per ADR).

Balance Sheet and Free Cash Flow

BALANCE SHEET

As of March 31, 2005, Coca-Cola FEMSA had a cash balance of Ps. 3,241 million (US$290 million), a reduction of Ps. 405 million (US$36 million) compared with December 31, 2004, due to tax payments and a reduction of account payables. The increase in working capital was mainly driven by the seasonality of our business.

Total short-term debt was Ps. 3,035 million (US$272 million) and long-term debt was Ps. 21,747 million (US$1,947 million) a decrease of Ps. 446 million (US$40 million), driven by the effect of the appreciation of the Mexican peso versus U.S. dollar as applied to our U.S. dollar denominated debt and the repurchase of Ps. 164 million of certificados bursátiles.

During the quarter, we decreased our debt balances denominated in local currency as a percentage of total debt, from 77% in the fourth quarter of 2004 to 70% in the first quarter of 2005. This decrease was attributed, in large part, to the unwinding of cross currency swaps, the effect of which was to increase our debt balance denominated in local currency by 630 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2004. Weighted average cost of debt during the quarter was 8.7%.

The following charts set forth the Company’s debt profile by currency and interest rate type as of March 31, 2005:

Mexican and Central American Operating Results

MEXICAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Revenues in our Mexican territories were Ps. 6,097 million in the first quarter of 2005, a decline of 3.5% compared with the same period of 2004, mainly driven by a lower average price per unit case. Average price per unit case in the first quarter of 2005 was Ps. 26.70 (US$2.39), a decline of 3.1% compared with the first quarter of 2005. This was as a result of a packaging mix shift towards multiple serving presentations, which have a lower average price per unit case. Excluding Ciel water volumes in 5.0, 19.0 and 20.0-liter packaging presentations, our average price per unit case was Ps. 30.70 (US$2.75).

Total sales volume was 227.7 million unit cases, remaining almost flat in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the same period of 2004. Carbonated soft drinks sales volume was 182.3 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2005, a slight decrease of 0.3% as compared to the same period of 2004, due to lower sales volume of flavored carbonated soft drinks. The non-carbonated beverages segment, excluding water, grew 21.1% in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004, from a very low base, driven by Powerade, Nestea and Keloco, each one accounting for one-third of the growth.

Operating Income

In the first quarter of 2005, higher polyethylene terephtalate (“PET”) resin prices were offset by a reduction in our sweetener costs and other raw materials, and efficiencies achieved throughout our manufacturing network, resulting in a lower average cost per unit case of 1.3%. Gross profit in absolute terms decreased 5.3% due to lower revenues, resulting in a gross margin of 51.7%, a decline of 100 basis points compared to the same period of 2004.

Operating expenses declined 1.9% to Ps. 2,075 million in the first quarter of 2005, due to lower maintenance costs for our distribution and marketing assets as a result of negotiating better terms with our service suppliers. Lower revenues and higher PET resin prices were partially offset by operating efficiencies resulting in Ps. 1,078 million of operating income in the first quarter of 2005, an 11.3% decrease compared to the same period of 2004. Operating income margin was 17.7% in the first quarter of 2005, a reduction of 150 basis points compared to the same period of 2004.

CENTRAL AMERICAN OPERATING RESULTS (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama)

Revenues

Revenues were Ps. 846 million in the first quarter of 2005, a decrease of 3.3% as compared with the same period of 2004. This decrease was driven by lower average price per unit case, which accounted for almost 60% of the decline and lower sales volume, which accounted for the balance. Average price per unit case declined 1.7% to Ps. 32.28 (US$2.89), driven by a packaging mix shift towards multiple serving presentations.

Total sales volume in our Central American territories was 26.2 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2005, a decrease of 1.1% compared with the same quarter of 2004, mainly driven by a 1.2% decrease in carbonated soft drink sales volume, which was due to changes in the competitive dynamics in some of the Central American territories. Lower sales volume in Nicaragua and Panama were partially offset by sales volume growth in Guatemala.

Operating Income

Gross profit during the first quarter of 2005 decreased 1.2% in absolute terms as compared to the first quarter of 2004, however, gross margin increased 100 basis points to 48.4% as a result of cost cutting initiatives in manufacturing throughout the region that more than compensated for higher PET prices and sweetener costs.

Our operating income increased by 7.4% to Ps. 113 million in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004 as a result of a 4.1% decrease in operating expenses. This reduction was due to lower maintenance cost in our distribution and marketing equipment derived from better execution practices, resulting in an operating margin of 13.3% in the first quarter of 2005, an improvement of 130 basis points as compared to the same period of 2004.

Colombian and Venezuelan Operating Results

COLOMBIAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Total revenues were of Ps. 1,068 million in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 8.6% compared with the same period of 2004. Over 85% of total revenues growth was driven by higher average prices per unit case. Our average price per unit case grew 7.3% to Ps. 25.36 (US$2.27) as a result of price increases implemented in 2004 and the appreciation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar.

Total sales volume during the first quarter of 2005 grew almost 1.0% reaching 42.1 million unit cases, driven by carbonated soft drinks volume increase of 2.8% compared with 2004, which more than offset the volume decline in our bottled water category. The majority of the incremental carbonated soft drinks sales volume came from our flavored carbonated soft drinks.

Operating Income

Our gross profit during the first quarter of 2005 grew 9.4% to Ps. 477 million, compared to Ps. 436 million in the same period of 2004, resulting in a gross margin of 44.7%, an improvement of 40 basis points. The savings achieved from the consolidation of our manufacturing network more than compensated for higher packaging costs derived from a packaging mix shift towards non-returnable presentations.

Operating expenses decreased 3.5% in the first quarter of 2005 mainly as a result of headcount optimization that took place during the first quarter of 2004 and lower maintenance costs. Our operating income more than doubled in absolute terms to Ps. 95 million during the first quarter of 2005, representing a 134.8% increase as compared to the first quarter of 2004. Operating income margin reached 8.9% in the first quarter of 2005, representing a margin expansion of 480 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2004.

VENEZUELAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Total revenues during the first quarter of 2005 were Ps. 1,082 million, an increase of 7.5% compared to the same period of 2004, driven by average price growth of 8.8%, which more than offset sales volume decline. Average price per unit case during the quarter was Ps. 26.76 (US$2.40), an 8.8% increase as a result of price increases implemented during the second half of 2004.

Total sales volume during the quarter was 40.4 million unit cases, a decrease of 1.2% compared to 40.9 million unit cases in the first quarter of 2004. The volume decline was a result of the lower sales volume of our non-carbonated beverages, which was partly offset by the slight increase in our carbonated soft drinks sales volume.

Operating Income

Gross profit during the first quarter of 2005 was Ps. 451 million, an increase of 13.5% as compared to Ps. 398 million in the same period of 2004, resulting in a gross margin expansion of 220 basis points as compared to the same period of 2004. The gross profit increase was driven by higher total revenues, which more than offset higher packaging costs driven by a packaging mix shift towards non-returnable presentations.

Operating expenses increased by 270 basis points as a percentage of total revenues in the first quarter of 2005, driven by increases in selling expenses due to higher freight costs and higher wages, both of which grew above inflation. Our operating income was Ps. 67 million in the first quarter of 2005, a slight decrease of 1.5% as compared to the first quarter of 2004, resulting in a 6.2% operating margin, a margin contraction of 50 basis points as compared to the same period of 2004.

Brazilian and Argentine Operating Results

BRAZILIAN OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Our total revenues reached Ps. 1,394 million in the first quarter of 2005, an improvement of 13.1% compared with the same period of 2004. Average price increases and higher sales volume each accounted for 50% of the revenue growth. Average price per unit case grew 5.6% to Ps. 19.54 (US$1.75) in the first quarter of 2005, mainly driven by higher beer revenues and price increases implemented during the second half of 2004.

Total sales volume increased 7.1% in the first quarter of 2005 to 71.1 million unit cases, including a 10.0% growth of carbonated soft drinks and a 41.9% of growth in bottled water as compared to the same period of 2004, which more than offset beer sales volume decline. Sales volume growth, excluding beer, was driven by the Coca-Cola brand, which accounted for more than 50% of incremental volumes, with the balance coming from carbonated soft drinks flavors and bottled water equally.

Operating Income

During the first quarter of 2005, our gross profit totaled Ps. 573 million, an increase of 21.1% compared with the same period of 2004. Gross margin increased to 41.1% in the first quarter of 2005 compared with 38.4% in the first quarter of 2004, a margin expansion of 270 basis points as a result of higher revenues.

Our operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 31.0% in the first quarter of 2004 to 27.1% in the same period of 2005 as a result of higher revenues combined with headcount optimization and better maintenance practices. Operating income reached Ps. 195 million in the first quarter of 2005, resulting in a 14.0% operating margin, an improvement of 660 basis points as compared to the same period of 2004.

ARGENTINE OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues

Our total revenues increased 13.7% to Ps. 744 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. An increase in average price per unit case accounted for approximately 55% of this growth and sales volume growth for the balance. Average price per unit case driven by price increases implemented at the beginning of the year, grew 8.2% to Ps. 18.04 (US$1.62).

Total sales volume reached 39.3 million unit cases during the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 5.9% compared with the same period of 2004. Carbonated soft drinks accounted for more than 80% of the growth and the balance came from the non-carbonated beverages. During the first quarter of 2005 non-carbonated beverages, excluding water, more than doubled in total sales volume from a low base in the first quarter of 2004.

Operating Income

Gross profit reached Ps. 285 million during the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 12.6% compared with the same period of 2004. Our gross margin slightly decreased from 38.6% in the first quarter of 2004 to 38.3%, as a result of higher PET prices, which more than offset lower sweetener costs.

Operating expenses increased 13.4% in the first quarter of 2005, remaining flat as a percentage of total revenues as compared to the same period of 2004, driven mainly by mandatory salary increases implemented in the quarter and higher introduction of returnable bottles in the market in connection with our strategy of strengthening our sales volume in returnable presentations. In spite of higher operating costs in the first quarter of 2005, operating income increased by 11.6% to Ps. 124 million in the first quarter of 2005, resulting in a 16.7% operating income margin.

Recent Developments

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The stockholders in the annual meeting held on March 8, 2005 approved the payment of a dividend in the amount of Ps. 620 million. The record date will be May 3, 2005, and the payment will be in the amount of Ps. 0.336 for each ordinary share, equivalent to Ps. 3.36 per ADR.


CHANGES IN MEXICAN GAAP:

Beginning on January 1, 2005 Bulletin C-10 “Instrumentos Financieros Derivados y Operaciones de Cobertura” (Derivative Instruments and Hedging Operations) (Bulletin C-10), went into effect. Bulletin C-10 establishes detailed accounting guidelines for the valuation, presentation and disclosure of derivative financial instruments. In addition, it establishes the conditions to consider financial instruments as hedging, and classifies hedging for purposes of defining whether the gain or loss that results from the valuation of hedging instruments at fair value should be recorded in net income or other comprehensive income. Bulletin C-10 is similar to SFAS 133 “Derivative Instruments”, from U.S. GAAP.


Before this change, the Company’s financial instruments entered into for hedging purposes were valued using the same valuation criteria applied to the hedged asset or liability, and their fair value were disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Additionally, financial instruments entered into for purposes other than hedging the operations of the Company were valued and recorded at fair market value and changes in the valuation was recorded in the income statement.


As a result of this change, we recognized a financial asset of Ps. 585 million and a financial liability of Ps. 167 million, the net effect represented a gain of Ps. 418 million of which Ps. 28 million was recorded as a gain in net income, Ps. 276 million as other comprehensive income and Ps. 114 million as deferred tax liability.


Effective on January 1, 2005, revised Bulletin D-3 “Obligaciones Laborales “ (Labor liabilities) establishes that severance payments resulting from situations other than a restructuring are to be charged to income in accordance with actuarial calculations. Previously, severance indemnities were recorded in the income statement as expensed. Severance payments resulting from the Company’s reduction of personnel, as a result of the restructuring of certain areas, will continue to be included in other net expenses. As of March 31, 2005, there is no effect in the income statement since the severance payments were similar to the cost of the period under actuarial calculations.
