Femsa reports Q2 revenue up 18.3% year over year

Jose Antonio Fernandez Carbajal, FEMSA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “It is a great privilege to lead this amazing company again. It is also a challenge that I embrace, particularly as we find ourselves in the process of implementing our transformational FEMSA Forward strategy, and as we pursue our ambitious long-range growth plans for all our core business units, setting the course for sustained, long-term value creation. The second quarter results announced today represent an example of the organic growth potential we have before us. Among the highlights, Proximity Americas increased revenues by 20 percent, again driven by strong same-store sales trends at OXXO and reflecting an accelerated store expansion. In Europe, Valora reported solid top line growth, while Health revenues were stable, reflecting a challenging comparison base in Chile as well as currency headwinds. For its part, Coca-Cola FEMSA again delivered a strong performance, while Envoy Solutions showed sustained revenue growth driven by recent acquisitions. On the Digital side, we continued to add users at a rapid pace, with active users growing more than one hundred percent year-over-year. I want to extend my gratitude to our hardworking team who continue to find a way to post strong results, putting us on the right path to meet or exceed our long-term aspirations.”
