Message from the Chief Executive Officer
"We are pleased with the performance of our operations during the first quarter of the year. Despite a slight contraction in our consolidated volume driven by a continued difficult economic and consumer environment in Mexico and Brazil, we gained or maintained market share in the sparkling beverage category across our operations. Thanks to our robust packaging portfolio and reinforced point-of-sale execution, our consumer transactions outperformed our volumes for the quarter. Moreover, our revenue management initiatives, coupled with our operating and financial discipline, enabled us to deliver comparable, currency-neutral top- and bottom-line line growth with a healthy EBITDA margin expansion in most of our operations and growth in earnings per share. Going forward, we will continue to transform our management and operating models, while investing in our operations' infrastructure, as exemplified by our new state-of-the-art bottling plant in Colombia, which commenced operations during the quarter," said John Santa Maria Otazua, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
