    Eduardo Padilla, FEMSA’s CEO, commented:

    “During the third quarter, data and sentiment towards the health emergency were still uneven across our markets and some operating restrictions remained in place but began to ease in September. At OXXO, same-store sales were stable sequentially, but profitability showed compelling gains reflecting higher efficiency. Our Health Division continued to benefit from dynamic trading conditions in Chile, as well as solid execution across the platform, while our Fuel Division saw better vehicle mobility trends in Mexico, even if we remained below pre-pandemic levels. For its part, our Logistics and Distribution business reflected improving conditions in Latin America, coupled with an environment in the United States that is steadily improving but a bit more slowly than expected, particularly for certain end-user segments. Finally, Coca-Cola FEMSA delivered solid volume performance in most markets, particularly in South America, and was able to mitigate pressures from supply chain disruption and higher raw material costs. All in all, it seems we are finally turning the corner and can look forward to a more normal 2022.

    Beyond the short-term, however, our company today is in a much better position than it was last year, and I would dare say, than ever before. Every one of our business units is in solid shape, with considerable avenues for growth, and we have the balance sheet flexibility to pursue our opportunities and execute on our optionality. I am excited and very optimistic about the future of FEMSA, and as I approach my retirement, I am especially thankful to our more than 320,000 colleagues that put in their best effort day after day, and year after year. It has been the honor of my lifetime to work with, and for, you all.”
