The solid trends in the fourth quarter’s top line were complemented by strong margin expansion at our two largest operations, Proximity Americas and Coca-Cola FEMSA, leveraging powerful execution in their core markets. Looking at the full year, margin expansion was achieved not only at Proximity Americas and Coca-Cola FEMSA, but also at Proximity Europe and Fuel. Beyond our operations, during the year we continued to make progress with the remaining steps of FEMSA Forward, including in the execution of our capital allocation framework. In addition to high levels of capital expenditures as we continued to invest in our organic growth opportunities across business units, during 2024, we returned record amounts of capital through a combination of dividends and share repurchases, a process that we intend to accelerate in 2025 and 2026 as we move to maximize the efficiency of our balance sheet. Finally, on the governance front, the Corporate Practices and Nominations Committee of FEMSA’s Board of Directors has formally launched the succession process for the CEO position. Please refer to the Recent Developments section of this release for further details. We begin 2025 facing an increasingly challenging consumer environment in many of our markets, particularly Mexico, but we are confident we have a compelling opportunity set in front of us, a solid strategy to pursue those opportunities, and the best team in the business.” To obtain the full text of this earnings release, please visit our Investor Relations website at https://femsa.gcs-web.com/ under the Financial Reports section  CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION Our Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Conference Call will be held on: Thursday, February 27, 2025, 10:00 AM Eastern Time (9:00 AM Mexico City Time).
