Daniel Rodríguez Cofré, FEMSA's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We closed the year on a high note, with our fourth quarter performance continuing the strong momentum seen throughout most of 2022. In particular, we note the continued strength of operating trends at OXXO Mexico, where traffic again grew by several percentage points and contributed to our double-digitsame-store sales increase, that also reflected good growth from important categories linked to the Gathering consumer occasion, especially relevant during the holiday season. Beyond Mexico, Proximity continued to grow at a good pace in most markets, and we are reporting Valora's results for the first time following its consolidation in early October. FEMSA Health again delivered stable results against a demanding comparison base while facing a challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly in Chile, while OXXO Gas had another strong quarter on the back of increased volume recovery and strong operating leverage.

On the Digital front, we continued to add OXXO Premia and Spin by OXXO customers at a solid pace, even as we focus on generating engagement and measuring those users that are interacting with our platform on a recurring basis. We are also making progress launching our loyalty Coalition platform, where we recently announced an exciting partnership with Volaris, and we are working on much more to come. Coca-Cola FEMSA had a strong close to a year that saw them achieve a record set of results, driven by their excellent execution, and leveraging their enhanced cooperation framework with the Coca-Cola Company to invest and grow the business. Finally, Logistics and Distribution had a strong quarter that was partially overshadowed by one-time charges at Envoy Solutions.

This strong close to 2022 positions us well to drive more growth in 2023, as we begin to execute the focused strategy laid out in our FEMSA Forward vision as presented last week. We look forward to an exciting year, and beyond."

Total revenues increased 17.1% in 4Q22 compared to 4Q21. On an organic1 basis, total revenues increased 16.5%, reflecting a 11.4% average same-store sales increase, driven by 6.8% growth in average customer ticket and an increase of 4.3% in store traffic. These figures reflect the strong performance of the gathering consumer occasion, including beer, snacks and spirits, as well as the sustained recovery of mobility-driven occasions. During the quarter the Proximity Division's store base expanded by 559 units to reach 1,027 total net store additions for the last twelve months. This includes 120 stores from our acquisition of OK Market in Chile. As of December 31, 2022, the Proximity Division had a total of 21,458 OXXO stores.

Gross profit reached 44.2% of total revenues, reflecting commercial activity and promotional programs from key suppliers, driven mainly by the December holiday season, offset by the impact from OXXO's fast-growing loyalty program, and a decrease of the contribution of financial services, compared with 4Q21.

Income from operations amounted to 12.7% of total revenues, driven by higher operating leverage. Operating expenses increased 10.3% to Ps. 19,758 million, below revenues, reflecting enduring expense efficiencies and tight expense control, partially offset by our continuing initiative to gradually shift from commission-based store teams to employee-based teams.

Grupo Nós2

Total Revenues for the period grew 145% year-over-year, reaching R$185.3 million3. This figure reflects the successful evolution and expansion of the OXXO and Shell Select value propositions, as well as the addition of 193 net new stores for the last twelve months. As of December 31, 2022, the store network of Grupo Nós included 1,468 stores in Brazil, including 217 company owned and operated OXXO stores.

  1. Excludes the effects of significant mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months.
  2. OXXO's non-consolidatedjoint-venture with Raízen in Brazil.
  3. The exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for December 30, 2022 was 5.2860 BRL per USD.
