In general, business units net sales increases during summer and winter seassons during holidays. In Mexico, Central America and Colombia, the Company reaches highest’s net sales levels during summer from April to August, as well as in December due to holidays. In Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, highest’s net sales levels occur during summer from October to March and in December.
