(firmenpresse) - MEXICO CITY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/12 -- Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOFL) (NYSE: KOF) ("Coca-Cola FEMSA" or the "Company"), the largest public Coca-Cola bottler in the world, announces results for the fourth quarter of 2011.
Total revenues reached Ps. 36,187 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 29.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of double-digit total revenue growth in each division and the integration of Grupo Tampico and Grupo CIMSA in our Mexican territories.
Consolidated operating income grew 27.9% to Ps. 6,497 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, driven by double-digit operating income growth in each division, including the integration of the new territories in Mexico. Our operating margin was 18.0% in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Consolidated net controlling interest income grew 6.1%, reaching Ps. 3,207 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
"Despite a challenging commodity cost environment, our operators produced strong results for the quarter. Both of our divisions achieved double-digit top- and bottom-line growth. Thanks to our complementary cultures, operating processes, and best practices, our talented team of professionals successfully worked with their new colleagues to integrate the beverage divisions of Grupo Tampico and Grupo CIMSA quickly and efficiently into our contiguous Mexican operations during the quarter. We also announced our merger agreement with the beverage division of Grupo Fomento Queretano -- our third such agreement in less than six months. These mergers confirm that our company represents an attractive, transparent, and diversified investment vehicle with proven management capabilities for family owned enterprises within the beverage industry. As we enter the year 2012, together, we will leverage our mutual strengths to continue creating the flexibility to transform challenges into opportunities to deliver increased value for our shareholders now and into the future," said Carlos Salazar Lomelin, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
