Jose Antonio Fernández Garza-Lagüera, FEMSA's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"During the third quarter we delivered a strong set of results, led by OXXO Mexico and Coca-Cola FEMSA, our two largest businesses. OXXO Mexico continued to build on the positive momentum seen in recent quarters, while Coca-Cola FEMSA delivered strong growth across the income statement, mainly supported by solid performances in most of its territories.
We are particularly encouraged by the continued recovery at OXXO Mexico, where same-store sales accelerated and customer traffic delivered its strongest performance in more than two years. This result was driven largely by stronger execution in most regions, commercial initiatives focused on key traffic-driving categories, and the consumer-centric strategy we began implementing last year. These initiatives are gaining traction and allowing us to generate additional traffic while maintaining a disciplined approach to profitability. Beyond OXXO Mexico, Coca-Cola FEMSA delivered a very strong quarter, with solid volume trends and double-digit growth in revenues and operating income, reflecting broad-based contributions across its operations.
We also continued to see encouraging progress in some of our growth platforms, with Bara gaining momentum as it accelerates expansion and strengthens the performance of its growing store base, while our OXXO operations in South America maintained a solid commercial trajectory, especially in Colombia. However, certain other business units faced operating headwinds, particularly our Europe and Health divisions, which delivered mixed results. We continue to work hard to bring those business units to their potential.
As we enter the final quarter of the year, we remain mindful that the consumer environment in Mexico continues to be soft, Brazil has faced some volatility recently and that we will face a more demanding comparison base in the coming quarters. Nevertheless, we are encouraged by the momentum we are seeing across most of our businesses. While we recognize that the final stretch of the year will present its share of challenges, we believe the strength of our geographically diversified platform positions us well to continue executing against our long-term strategy in pursuit of sustainable, profitable growth."
