Underscoring our progress, we successfully deployed strategies across diverse fronts to capitalize on our industry’s potential and to produce positive results in a challenging macroeconomic environment. Among our accomplishments, we achieved outstanding operating benchmarks—delivering high-single digit growth in Brazil, while hitting the 100 million unit case mark in Guatemala. We further captured better than expected synergies from our acquired territories in Guatemala and Uruguay.

Thanks to our ongoing transformation, we are developing the capabilities to win in a world marked by rapid change and technological disruption. Thus, we embarked on our Fuel for Growth strategy to create an even leaner, more agile organization fully focused on our customers and consumers.

This multi-year journey aims to strengthen our organization through new ways of working, strive for efficiency with best-in-class capabilities enabled by digital technology, eliminate redundancy, and ensure our sustainable business growth.

As part of our strategic vision, we’re unifying our organization under one vision to become an undisputed total beverage leader with sustainable, profitable growth—creating and fulfilling consumer demand anytime, anywhere; one platform to ensure our teams work as a cohesive unit to create sustainable value for our company and our stakeholders through their everyday decisions and actions; and one future to maintain our flexibility to evolve together with our consumers and customers to match their ever-changing needs. Our flexibility is key as we continue to strengthen our winning portfolio, transform our operating models, and lead our cultural evolution.

One Consumer-Centric Platform: Strategic Initiatives

Driven by our obsessive consumer focus, we’re consolidating a winning total beverage portfolio to satisfy their evolving tastes and lifestyles. Capitalizing on brand Coca-Cola, we’re fostering sparkling beverage growth by leveraging portfolio innovation and affordability. We’re also driving our low or no-sugar sparkling beverage portfolio ahead of consumer trends, offering great taste with less sugar across our franchise territories. Exemplified by our multi-tier strategies in Argentina and Brazil and our launch of naturally sourced Topo Chico mineral water in Mexico, we’re amplifying our premium, mainstream, and value water portfolio to establish consistent leadership across this growing category.

We’re improving our competitive position in the still beverage category, underscored by Monster’s market leading growth in Brazil and Uruguay. We’re also accelerating our Santa Clara dairy portfolio’s double-digit growth in Mexico and reenergizing our AdeS plant-based beverage business in Argentina, while expanding this category to Costa Rica and Panama.

As part of our Fuel for Growth journey, we functionalized our transformative finance, supply chain, and human resources operating models to create a leaner, more agile, and collaborative service organization that leverages our company’s scale and shared value opportunities to drive our operations’ sustainable, profitable business growth.

Consistent with our cultural evolution, we’re creating one culture throughout our organization. Underpinned by KOF DNA, we’re building a collaborative customer and consumer-centric culture founded on operational excellence, agile decision-making, an owners’ mentality, and always placing our people first.

Moreover, we’re accelerating our digitally driven business transformation. After rolling out our KOFmmercial digital platform (KDP) across our traditional trade channel, we deployed KDP throughout Brazil and Mexico’s modern trade channel. In Brazil, we further expanded our first mover advantage across food aggregators and digital channels, while piloting our omnichannel order entry capability for our “KOF Edge” business-to-business platform.

Sustainability is one of the foundations upon which we built our holistic corporate strategy. Through value chain synergies and community partnerships, we collected 50% of the bottles that we put into the market, well positioned to achieve our 2030 commitment of collecting 100%. We used 23.5% of recycled materials in our PET packaging, on track to achieve our 2020 goal of 25%. We improved our water use ratio to 1.53 liters of water per liter of beverage produced, on track to achieve our 2020 goal of 1.5 liters. Impressively, 68% of our manufacturing operations’ power comes from clean energy sources, up over seven times the past five years.

One Consumer-Centric Platform: Operating Highlights

Guided by our holistic strategic framework, we navigated a challenging macroeconomic environment to deliver positive results for the year. Our total sales volume increased x.x% to x.xx billion unit cases, with transactions growing x.x% to xx.x billion. Total revenues grew x.x% to Ps. xxx.x billion. Operating income grew xx.x% to Ps. xx.x billion. Operating cash flow grew xx.x% to Ps. xx.x billion. Importantly, controlling net income reached Ps. xx.x billion for earnings per share of Ps. x.xx and per unit of Ps. x.xx (Ps. xx.xx per ADS).

Our resilient Mexico operation achieved strong top-line growth, despite uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Our portfolio innovation, affordability, and commercial initiatives enabled us to generate price-mix improvements and deliver xx% revenue growth, while our ability to drive cost and expense efficiencies resulted in margin expansion.

In Central America, we delivered solid top-line growth, driven mainly by the strong performance of our Guatemala and Costa Rica operations. Our ability to capture synergies from new territories, expanded distribution platform, and improved point-of-sale execution enabled us to achieve outstanding volume growth in Guatemala.

Despite slow macroeconomic growth, our Brazilian operation continued its impressive turnaround, generating strong volumes that built on two years of continuous growth. Importantly, this growth is leading to market share gains across our key beverage categories, driven by our relentless consumer focus, robust portfolio, and point-of-sale execution.

After a complicated start to the year, we’re encouraged by our Colombian operation’s turnaround over the second half of 2019, driven by our efficiency, coverage, and portfolio initiatives. In Argentina, we adapted our portfolio to remain close to our consumers, driven by our affordability strategy. Similarly, in Venezuela, we reengaged our consumers through our launch of affordable multi-serve presentations.

Finally, we seamlessly consolidated our Uruguay operation. Beyond exceeding our estimated synergies, we improved our volumes and margins, driven by increased production efficiency and market share gains in the sparkling and still beverage categories.

Moving forward, our overarching strategic priority is to become the best option for our customers and consumers in all of our markets—creating and fulfilling their demand anytime, everywhere.

On behalf of our employees, we thank you for your continued confidence in our ability to deliver economic value and to generate social and environmental wellbeing for you all.
