Rahi Parikh's questions to Coca-Cola Femsa SAB de CV (KOF) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Rahi Parikh, on behalf of Ben Theurer from Barclays PLC, asked for details on beverage category volume changes in Mexico, particularly in stills versus sparkling. She also inquired about which categories the company is prioritizing in Mexico and Brazil following recent capacity additions and operational fixes.
Answer
IR Director Jorge Collazo Pereda explained that Mexico's sparkling category was more impacted by weather due to its on-the-go consumption nature. CEO Iain Craig García added that new capacity in Brazil is being used to address availability gaps, prioritizing CSD flavors first, followed by non-carbonated beverages like teas and water, to restore the full portfolio.
