Item 1. Identity of Directors, Senior Management and Advisers
Not applicable.
Item 2. Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable
Not applicable.
Item 3. Key Information
Selected Consolidated Financial Data
We prepared our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, referred to herein as “IFRS.”
This annual report includes (under Item 18) our audited consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Pursuant to IFRS, the information in this annual report presents financial information in nominal terms and Mexican pesos. Our non-Mexican subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in their local currency and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the country where they are located. For presentation in our consolidated financial statements, we adjust these accounting records into IFRS and report in Mexican pesos under these standards.
In the case of Argentina, the economy satisfies the conditions to be treated as a hyperinflationary economy based on various economic factors, including that Argentina’s cumulative inflation over the three-year period prior to December 31, 2021 exceeded 100%, according to available indexes in the country. We adjusted the financial information of our Argentine operations to recognize inflationary effects. Our functional currency in Argentina was converted to Mexican pesos for the periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 using the exchange rates at the end of such periods. See Note 3.4 to our consolidated financial statements.
Except when specifically indicated, information in this annual report on Form 20-F is presented as of December 31, 2021 and does not give effect to any transaction subsequent to that date.

Dividends and Dividend Policy
The following table sets forth the nominal amount in Mexican pesos of dividends declared, paid and to be paid per share each year and the U.S. dollar amounts on a per share basis actually paid or to be paid to holders of American Depositary Shares, which we refer to as ADSs, on each of the respective payment dates.

Fiscal Year with Respect to which Dividend was Declared(1) |  | Date Dividend Paid or To Be Paid |  | Mexican Pesos per Share or Unit, as applicable (Nominal)(2) |  | U.S. Dollars per Share or Unit, as applicable(3)
2017 |  | May 3, 2018 |  | 1.680 |  | 0.088
|  | November 1, 2018 |  | 1.670 |  | 0.083
2018 |  | May 3, 2019 |  | 1.770(4) |  | 0.093
|  | November 1, 2019 |  | 1.770(4) |  | 0.093
2019 |  | May 5, 2020 |  | 2.430(5) |  | 0.102 (5)
|  | November 3, 2020 |  | 2.430(5) |  | 0.115(5)
2020 |  | May 4, 2021 |  | 2.520(6) |  | 0.124(6)
|  | November 3, 2021 |  | 2.520(6) |  | 0.121 (6)
2021 |  | May 3, 2022 |  | 2.715(7) |  | — (7)(8)
|  | November 3, 2022 |  | 2.715 (7) |  | — (7)(8)

(1) The dividends declared for each fiscal year were divided into two payments.
(2) Based on the number of shares outstanding at the time the dividend is paid.
(3) Expressed in U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate when the dividend was paid.
(4) Dividend declared prior to the eight-for-one stock split described in “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Company—Capital Stock.” As a result of the stock split, the dividend was Ps.0.4425 per share, or the amount of the dividend declared divided by eight.
(5) Dividend declared per unit. The dividend was Ps.0.6075 per share, or the amount of the dividend declared divided by eight.
(6) Dividend declared per unit. The dividend was Ps.0.6300 per share, or the amount of the dividend declared divided by eight.
(7) Dividend declared per unit. The dividend was Ps.0.67875 per share, or the amount of the dividend declared divided by eight.
(8) Because the dividend declared for the fiscal year 2021 has not been paid at the time of this annual report, the U.S. dollar per share amount has not been determined.
The declaration, amount and payment of dividends are subject to the approval by holders of a majority of our shares (except for our Series L shares, which do not grant the right to vote on the declaration, amount and payment of dividends); provided that, if the amount of dividends exceeds 20.0% of the preceding years’ consolidated net profits, the approval by holders of a majority of our Series D shares is also required. The declaration, amount and payment of dividends is also subject to and dependent generally upon the recommendation of our board of directors, and upon our results, financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and the requirements of Mexican law. Accordingly, our historical dividend payments are not necessarily indicative of future dividends. See “Item 10. Additional Information — Bylaws—Dividend Rights.”
We pay all cash dividends in Mexican pesos. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the U.S. dollar amounts received by holders of ADSs as a result of the conversion by the ADS depositary of cash dividends paid on the Series L shares and Series B shares underlying our units represented by such ADSs. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations between the Mexican peso and the U.S. dollar affect the market price of the ADSs.
Under Mexican income tax law, dividends, either in cash or in kind, paid to individuals that are Mexican residents, and to individuals and companies that are non-Mexican residents, on our shares, including the Series L shares and the Series B shares underlying our units, including units represented by ADSs, are subject to a 10.0% Mexican withholding tax, or a lower rate if covered by a tax treaty. Profits that were earned and subject to income tax before January 1, 2014 are exempt from this withholding tax. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—Mexican Taxation.”

Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Company
Risks related to our relationship with our major shareholders
Our business depends on our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company, and changes in this relationship may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Substantially all of our sales are derived from sales of Coca-Cola trademark beverages. We produce, market, sell and distribute Coca-Cola trademark beverages through standard bottler agreements in the territories where we operate, which we refer to as “our territories.” See “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Company—Our Territories.” We are required to purchase concentrate for all Coca-Cola trademark beverages from affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company, which price is determined from time to time by The Coca-Cola Company in all such territories. We are also required to purchase sweeteners and other raw materials only from companies authorized by The Coca-Cola Company. Increases in the cost, disruption of supply or shortage of ingredients for concentrate could have an adverse effect on our business.
In addition, under our bottler agreements, we are prohibited from bottling or distributing any other beverages without The Coca-Cola Company’s authorization or consent, and we may not transfer control of the bottler rights of any of our territories without prior consent from The Coca-Cola Company.
The Coca-Cola Company makes significant contributions to our marketing expenses, although it is not required to contribute a particular amount. Accordingly, The Coca-Cola Company may discontinue or reduce such contributions at any time.
We depend on The Coca-Cola Company to continue with our bottler agreements. Our bottler agreements are automatically renewable for ten-year terms, subject to the right of either party to give prior notice that it does not wish to renew the applicable agreement. In addition, these agreements generally may be terminated in the case of material breach. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Bottler Agreements.” Termination of any such bottler agreement would prevent us from selling Coca-Cola trademark beverages in the affected territory. The foregoing and any other adverse changes in our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Coca-Cola Company and FEMSA have substantial influence on the conduct of our business, which may result in us taking actions contrary to the interests of our shareholders other than The Coca-Cola Company and FEMSA.
The Coca-Cola Company and Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V., which we refer to as FEMSA, have substantial influence on the conduct of our business. As of the date of this report, The Coca-Cola Company indirectly owned 27.8% of our outstanding capital stock, representing 32.9% of our capital stock with full voting rights. The Coca-Cola Company is entitled to appoint up to five of our maximum of 21 directors and the vote of at least two of them is required to approve certain actions by our board of directors. As of the date of this report, FEMSA indirectly owned 47.2% of our outstanding capital stock, representing 56.0% of our capital stock with full voting rights. FEMSA is entitled to appoint up to 13 of our maximum of 21 directors and all of our executive officers. The Coca-Cola Company and FEMSA together, or only FEMSA in certain circumstances, have the power to determine the outcome of all actions requiring approval by our board of directors, and FEMSA and The Coca-Cola Company together, or only FEMSA in certain circumstances, have the power to determine the outcome of all actions requiring approval of our shareholders. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—The Shareholders Agreement.” The interests of The Coca-Cola Company and FEMSA may be different from the interests of our other shareholders, which may result in us taking actions contrary to the interests of such other shareholders.
The reputation of Coca-Cola trademarks and trademark infringement could adversely affect our business.
Substantially all of our sales are derived from sales of Coca-Cola trademark beverages owned by The Coca-Cola Company. Maintenance of the reputation and intellectual property rights of these trademarks is essential to our ability to attract and retain retailers and consumers and is a key driver for our success. Failure to maintain the reputation of Coca-Cola trademarks and/or to effectively protect these trademarks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks related to consumer preferences and competition
Changes in consumer preferences and public concern about health-related and environmental issues could reduce demand for some of our products.
The beverage industry is evolving mainly as a result of changes in consumer preferences and regulatory actions. There have been different plans and actions adopted in recent years by governmental authorities in some of the countries where we operate. These include increases in tax rates or the imposition of new taxes on the sale of certain beverages and other regulatory measures, such as
6

restrictions on advertising for some of our products and additional regulations concerning the labeling or sale of our products. Moreover, researchers, health advocates and dietary guidelines encourage consumers to reduce their consumption of certain types of beverages sweetened with sugar, artificial sweeteners and High Fructose Corn Syrup, or HFCS. In addition, concerns over the environmental impact of plastic may reduce the consumption of our products sold in plastic bottles or result in additional taxes that could adversely affect consumer demand. Increasing public concern about these issues, new or increased taxes, other regulatory measures, our failure to meet consumers’ preferences or our inability to successfully introduce new products or digitize our operations and processes, could reduce demand for some of our products, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Company—Business Strategy.”
Competition could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The beverage industry in the territories where we operate is highly competitive. We face competition from other bottlers of sparkling beverages, such as Pepsi trademark products and other bottlers and distributors of local beverage brands, and from producers of low-cost beverages or “B brands.” We also compete in beverage categories other than sparkling beverages, such as water, juice-based beverages, coffee, teas, milk, value-added dairy products, sports drinks, energy drinks, plant-based beverages, beer and other alcoholic beverages. We expect that we will continue to face strong competition in our beverage categories in all of our territories and anticipate that existing or new competitors may broaden their product lines and extend their geographic scope.
Although competitive conditions are different in each of our territories, we compete mainly in terms of price, packaging, effective promotional activities, access to retail outlets and sufficient shelf space, customer service, product innovation and product alternatives and the ability to identify and satisfy consumer preferences. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Company—Principal Competitors.” Lower pricing and activities by our competitors may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks related to public health crises and weather and climatic conditions
The COVID-19 pandemic has and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures that have been taken over the previous years and that may continue to be taken in the future by governments, businesses, including us, and the public at large to limit the spread of COVID-19 have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our business. Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused, and may continue to cause, temporary closures and capacity restrictions at points of sale, including restaurants, cinemas and other venues, causing fluctuations in the volumes and mix of the products we sell. If despite vaccination efforts and other measures taken by governments and the public at large, the COVID-19 pandemic continues for a prolonged period of time or is exacerbated, it could result in the imposition of more restrictive measures in the territories in which we operate, which could adversely affect our financial and operating results.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused significant volatility in the financial markets and disruptions to supply chains across the world, which increased the cost of some of our raw materials and therefore has negatively affected and may continue to adversely affect our financial results.
Although unprecedented efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic have been taken, we cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, and whether there will be further outbreaks of new variants in the future in any of the markets where we operate. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the effectiveness of vaccines and treatment developments and actions taken in the countries where we operate, or that may be taken in the future, by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
Weather conditions, natural disasters and public health crises may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Lower temperatures, higher rainfall, other adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes, natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, and public health crises such as pandemics or epidemics may negatively impact consumer patterns, which may result in reduced sales of our beverage offerings. Additionally, such adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and public health crises may affect plant installed capacity, road infrastructure and points of sale in the territories where we operate and limit our ability to produce, sell and distribute our products, thus affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Climate change and legal or regulatory responses thereto may have an adverse impact on our business.
There is increasing concern that a gradual increase in global average temperatures due to increased concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will cause significant changes in weather patterns around the globe and an
7

increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. Decreased agricultural productivity in certain regions of the world as a result of changing weather patterns may limit the availability or increase the cost of key agricultural commodities, such as sugarcane, and corn which are important sources of ingredients for our products. Increasing concern over climate change also may result in additional legal or regulatory requirements designed to reduce or mitigate the effects of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions on the environment. Increased energy or compliance costs and expenses due to increased legal or regulatory requirements may cause disruptions in, or an increase in the costs associated with, the manufacturing and distribution of our beverage products. The effects of climate change and legal or regulatory initiatives to address climate change could have an adverse impact on our business.
In addition, from time to time, we establish and publicly announce goals and commitments to reduce our carbon footprint by increasing our use of recycled packaging materials and participating in environmental and sustainability programs and initiatives organized or sponsored by non-governmental organizations and other groups to reduce greenhouse gas emissions industrywide. If we fail to achieve due to restrictions to access or short supply of energy from renewable sources or improperly report on our progress toward achieving our carbon footprint reduction goals and commitments, the resulting negative publicity could adversely affect consumer preference and demand for our beverage products.
Risks related to our information systems and social media
If we are unable to protect our information systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data or breaches of security, our operations could be disrupted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on networks, information systems and other technology, or IT systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted platforms and services, to support a variety of business processes and activities, including procurement and supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, invoicing and collection of payments and to store client and employee personal data. We use IT systems to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting and legal and tax requirements. Because IT systems are critical to many of our operating activities, our business may be impacted by system shutdowns, service disruptions or security breaches. In addition, such incidents could result in unauthorized disclosure of material confidential information or regulated individual personal data. We could be required to spend significant financial and other resources to remedy the damage caused by a security breach or to repair or replace networks and IT systems. Any severe damage, disruption or shutdown in our IT systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We make investments in specialized personnel, technologies, cyber insurance and training of our personnel. We also maintain an IT risk management program that is supervised by our senior management. Reports on such IT risk management program are presented to the Audit Committee of our board of directors on a quarterly basis. As part of this program, we have a cybersecurity framework, internal policies and cross-functional surveillance. Despite our investments and focus on risk management programs, we may be subject to unexpected security breaches, and there is no assurance that the measures we implement will be sufficient to prevent such breaches.
Negative or inaccurate information on social media could adversely affect our reputation.
Negative or inaccurate information concerning or affecting us or the Coca-Cola trademarks may be posted at any time on social media and similar platforms, including weblogs (blogs), social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications which allow individual access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. This information may harm our reputation without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks related to raw materials and supply chain
Water shortages or any failure to maintain existing concessions or contracts could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Water is an essential component of all of our products. We obtain water from various sources in our territories, including springs, wells, rivers and municipal and state water companies pursuant to either concessions granted by governments in our various territories (including governments at the federal, state or municipal level) or pursuant to contracts.
We obtain the vast majority of the water used in our production from municipal utility companies and pursuant to concessions to use wells, which are generally granted based on studies of the existing and projected groundwater supply. Our existing water concessions or contracts to obtain water may be terminated by governmental authorities under certain circumstances and their renewal depends on several factors, including having paid all fees in full, having complied with applicable laws and obligations and receiving approval for renewal from local and/or federal water authorities. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Regulation—Water
8

Supply.” In some of our territories, our existing water supply may not be sufficient to meet our future production needs, and the available water supply may be adversely affected by shortages or changes in governmental regulations and environmental changes.
We cannot assure you that water will be available in sufficient quantities to meet our future production needs or will prove sufficient to meet our water supply needs. Continued water scarcity in the regions where we operate may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increases in the prices of raw materials, supply chain disruptions or shortages of raw materials could increase our cost of goods sold and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to water, our most significant raw materials are concentrate, which we acquire from affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company, sweeteners and packaging materials.
Prices for Coca-Cola trademark beverages concentrate are determined by The Coca-Cola Company as a percentage of the weighted average retail price in local currency, net of applicable taxes. The Coca-Cola Company has the right to change concentrate prices or change the manner in which such prices are calculated.In the past, The Coca-Cola Company has increased concentrate prices for Coca-Cola trademark beverages in some of the countries where we operate. We may not be successful in negotiating or implementing measures to mitigate the negative effect this may have in the pricing of our products or our results.
The prices for our other raw materials are driven by market prices and local availability, the imposition of import duties and restrictions and fluctuations in exchange rates. We are also required to meet all of our supply needs (including sweeteners and packaging materials) from suppliers approved by The Coca-Cola Company, and The Coca-Cola Company may limit the number of suppliers available to us. Our sales prices are denominated in the local currency of each country where we operate, while the prices of certain materials, including those used in the bottling of our products, mainly polyethylene terephthalate, or PET resin, preforms to make plastic bottles, finished plastic bottles, aluminum cans, HFCS and certain sweeteners, are paid in, or determined with reference to, the U.S. dollar, and therefore may increase if the U.S. dollar appreciates against the applicable local currency. We cannot anticipate whether the U.S. dollar will appreciate or depreciate with respect to such local currencies in the future, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating any such fluctuations through derivative instruments or otherwise. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Company—Raw Materials.”
Our most significant packaging raw material costs arise from the purchase of PET resin, the price of which is related to crude oil prices and global PET resin supply. Crude oil prices have a cyclical behavior and are determined with reference to the U.S. dollar; therefore, high currency volatility may affect our average price for PET resin in local currencies. In addition, international sugar prices have been volatile due to various factors, including shifting demand, availability, climate change and other issues affecting production and distribution. In all of the countries where we operate, other than Brazil, sugar prices are subject to local regulations and other barriers to market entry that cause us to purchase sugar above international market prices. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Company—Raw Materials.” We cannot assure you that our raw material prices will not further increase in the future or that we will be successful in mitigating any such increase through derivative instruments or otherwise. Increases in the prices of raw materials would increase our cost of goods sold and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Geopolitical conflicts, including the ongoing military conflict involving Russia and Ukraine and the resulting economic sanctions imposed on Russia and certain Russian citizens and enterprises, could also cause significant disruptions in supply chains across the world, which may increase the cost of some of our raw materials and therefore have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increases in the cost, disruption of supply or shortage of energy or fuel could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our bottling operations operate large fleets of trucks and other motor vehicles to distribute and deliver beverage products to our business partners and customers. In addition, we use a significant amount of electricity, natural gas and other energy sources to operate our bottling plants and distribution facilities. An increase in the price, disruption of supply or shortage of fuel and other energy sources in the countries where we operate, which may be caused by increased demand, natural disasters, power outages or government regulations, taxes, policies or programs, including programs designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change, could increase our operating costs and negatively impact our business and results of operations. Changes in government regulations in the countries where we operate, including reforms related to transmission, distribution and other costs, could lead to a substantial increase in our electricity cost. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Regulation—Other Regulations.”
Risks related to regulatory developments, taxes and legal proceedings
Regulatory developments may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
9

The principal areas in which we are subject to laws and regulations include anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, water, environment, energy, labor, taxation, health, antitrust and price controls. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Regulation.” In addition, we are also subject to laws and regulations in connection with the sale and distribution of beer and other alcoholic beverages. Changes in existing laws and regulations, the adoption of new laws or regulations, or a stricter interpretation or enforcement thereof in the countries where we operate may increase our operating and compliance costs or impose restrictions on our operations which, in turn, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently offer non-refillable and refillable containers across our territories, among other product presentations. Certain legislative and regulatory reforms have been proposed in some of the territories where we operate to restrict the sale of single-use plastics and similar legislation or regulations may be proposed or enacted in the future. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Regulation—Other Regulation.” Consumers’ increased concerns and changing habits about the solid waste streams and environmental responsibility and the related publicity could result in the adoption of such legislation or regulations. If these types of requirements are adopted and implemented on a large scale in any of our territories, they could affect our costs or require changes in our distribution model and packaging, which could reduce our net operating revenues and profitability.
Voluntary price restraints or statutory price controls have been imposed historically in several of the countries where we operate. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Regulation—Price Controls.” We cannot assure you that existing or future laws and regulations in the countries where we operate relating to goods and services (in particular, laws and regulations imposing statutory price controls) will not affect our products, our ability to set prices for our products, or that we will not need to implement price restraints, which could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We operate in multiple territories and are subject to complex regulatory frameworks with increased enforcement activities. We maintain a global integrity and compliance program that is supervised by our senior management, and employ a chief compliance officer in each country where we operate. Reports on such compliance program are presented to the Audit Committee of our board of directors on a semi-annual basis. Despite our internal governance and compliance processes, we may be subject to unexpected breaches by our employees, contractors or other agents to our code of ethics, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering policies and other internal guidelines, including instances of fraudulent behavior, corrupt practices and dishonesty by any of them. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and other standards could harm our reputation, subject us to substantial fines, sanctions or penalties and adversely affect our business. There is no assurance that we will be able to comply with changes in any laws and regulations within the timelines established by the relevant regulatory authorities.
Certain taxes could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The countries where we operate may adopt new tax laws or modify existing tax laws to increase taxes applicable to our business or products. Our products are subject to certain taxes in many of the countries where we operate. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Regulation—Taxation of Beverages.” The imposition of new taxes, increases in existing taxes, or changes in the interpretation of tax laws and regulation by tax authorities may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Tax legislation in some of the countries where we operate has recently been subject to major changes. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Regulation—Tax Reforms.” We cannot assure you that these reforms or other reforms adopted by governments in the countries where we operate will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Unfavorable outcomes of our legal proceedings could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations have from time to time been and may continue to be subject to investigations and proceedings by antitrust authorities relating to alleged anticompetitive practices, as well as tax, consumer protection, environmental, labor and commercial matters. We cannot assure you that these investigations and proceedings will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 8. Financial Information—Legal Proceedings.”
Risks related to mergers, acquisitions and business alliances
10

We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions and business alliances and achieve the expected operational efficiencies or synergies.
We have and we may continue to acquire bottling operations and other businesses, as well as enter into business alliances. Key elements to achieving the benefits and expected synergies of our acquisitions and mergers are the integration of acquired or merged businesses’ operations into our own in a timely and effective manner and the retention of qualified and experienced key personnel. We may incur unforeseen liabilities in connection with acquiring, taking control of, or managing bottling operations and other businesses and may encounter difficulties and unforeseen or additional costs in restructuring and integrating them into our operating structure. Achieving the full benefits of our business alliances is dependent on identifying appropriate business partners and negotiating advantageous business agreements. We may not be successful in achieving the full benefits of such business alliances if these key aspects of such alliances are not realized. We cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful or completed as expected by us, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to do so.
Risks Related to the Countries Where We Operate
Adverse economic conditions in the countries where we operate may adversely affect our financial condition and results.
We are a Mexican corporation and our Mexican operations are our single most important geographic territory. We also conduct an important part of our operations in Brazil. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 75.9% of our total revenues were attributable to Mexico and Brazil. Our results are affected by the economic conditions in the countries where we conduct operations. Consumer demand and preferences, real prices and the costs of raw materials are heavily influenced by macroeconomic conditions, which vary by country and may not be correlated. In addition, adverse economic conditions may affect and reduce consumer per capita income, thereby adversely affecting consumer demand for our products as a result of a decrease in consumer purchasing power. Deterioration or prolonged periods of weak economic conditions in the countries where we conduct operations may have, and in the past have had, a negative effect on our company and a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some of the countries where we operate are influenced by the U.S. economy. Deterioration in economic conditions in the U.S. economy may affect these economies. In particular, economic conditions in Mexico have been historically correlated with economic conditions in the United States partially as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and more recently, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which came into force on July 1, 2020. Any adverse event affecting the relationship between any of the countries where we operate and the United States, including changes or the termination of any free trade agreement, may have a significant adverse effect on the economy of such countries.
Our business may also be significantly affected by interest rates, inflation rates and exchange rates of the local currencies of the countries where we operate. Decreases in growth rates, periods of negative growth and/or increases in inflation or interest rates may result in lower demand for our products, lower real pricing of our products or a shift to lower margin products. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” In addition, an increase in interest rates would increase the cost to us of variable rate funding (which, after giving effect to our swap contracts, and calculated by weighting each year’s outstanding debt balance mix, constituted approximately 15.2% of our total debt as of December 31, 2021), which would have an adverse effect on our financial position. A continued and prolonged increase in inflation rates in any of the countries where we operate may result in such country being categorized as a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes, which would change the manner in which we present and report financial information related to our operations in such country. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”
Argentina’s economy satisfies the conditions to be treated as a hyperinflationary economy based on various economic factors, including Argentina’s cumulative inflation over the past three-year period exceeding 100%, according to available indexes in the country. Continuing hyperinflation in Argentina may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
Depreciation of the local currencies of the countries where we operate relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our financial condition and results.
Depreciation of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar increases our cost of some of the raw materials we acquire, the price of which may be paid in or determined with reference to U.S. dollars, and of our debt obligations denominated in U.S. dollars and may therefore negatively affect our results, financial position and equity. In addition, depreciation of local currencies of the countries where we operate relative to the U.S. dollar may also potentially increase inflation rates in such countries. Significant fluctuations of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have occurred in the past and may continue in the future, negatively affecting our results. Future currency devaluations or the imposition of exchange controls in any of the countries where we operate may potentially increase our operating costs, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.”
11

A severe depreciation of any currency of the countries where we operate may result in a disruption of the international foreign exchange markets and may limit our ability to transfer or to convert such currencies into U.S. dollars or other currencies for the purpose of making timely payments of interest and principal on our U.S. dollar-denominated indebtedness or obligations in other currencies. While the Mexican government does not restrict the right or ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to convert Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars or to transfer other currencies out of Mexico, the Mexican government could impose restrictive exchange rate policies in the future. Currency fluctuations may have an adverse effect on our results, financial condition and cash flows in future periods.
As part of our financing, treasury and derivatives policies, we maintain hedging initiatives designed to mitigate interest rate, raw materials and foreign currency exchange rate risk. These hedging initiatives are presented by our corporate finance department to the planning and finance committee of our board of directors on a quarterly basis for their review and approval. Even with such efforts, there is no assurance that the hedging and other financial strategies we implement will be sufficient to prevent any adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations as a result of any depreciation of the local currencies of the countries where we operate relative to the U.S. dollar, fluctuations in interest rates or in the price of raw materials.
Political and social events in the countries where we operate and elsewhere and changes in governmental policies may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In recent years, some of the governments in the countries where we operate have implemented and may continue to implement significant changes in laws, public policy or regulations that could affect the political and social conditions in these countries. Any such changes, and similar changes in other countries such as the U.S., may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, national presidential and legislative elections took place in 2021 or are scheduled to take place in 2022 in several of the countries where we operate, including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica. We cannot assure you that political or social developments in the countries where we operate or elsewhere, such as the election of new administrations, changes in laws, public policy or regulations, political disagreements, civil disturbances and the rise in violence and perception of such rise in violence, over which we have no control, will not have a corresponding adverse effect on the local or global markets or on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to the units and the ADSs
Our Series L shares have limited voting rights.
Our Series L shares grant the right to vote only in certain circumstances. In general terms, they grant the right to elect up to three of our maximum of 21 directors and only grant the right to vote on specific matters, including certain changes in our corporate form, mergers involving our company when our company is the merged entity or when the principal corporate purpose of the merged entity is not related to the corporate purpose of our company, the cancellation of the registration of our shares on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (Mexican Stock Exchange, or BMV) or any other foreign stock exchange, and those matters for which the Ley del Mercado de Valores (Mexican Securities Market Law) expressly grants the right to vote to classes of shares with limited voting rights. As a result, holders of units will not be able to influence our business or operations with respect to the Series L shares they indirectly hold. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders” and “Item 10. Additional Information—Bylaws—Voting Rights, Transfer Restrictions and Certain Minority Rights.”
Holders of ADSs may not be able to vote at our shareholder meetings.
Our units, which are comprised of 3 Series B shares and 5 Series L shares, trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of ADSs, each representing 10 units. Holders of ADSs may not receive notice of Series L or Series B shareholder meetings from the ADS depositary in sufficient time to enable such holders to return voting instructions to the ADS depositary in a timely manner.
The protections afforded to minority shareholders in Mexico are different from those afforded to minority shareholders in the United States and investors may experience difficulties in enforcing civil liabilities against us or our directors, officers and controlling persons.
Under the Mexican Securities Market Law, the protections afforded to minority shareholders are different from, and may be less than, those afforded to minority shareholders in the United States. Therefore, it may be more difficult for minority shareholders to enforce their rights against us, our directors or our controlling interest shareholders than it would be for minority shareholders of a U.S. company.
In addition, we are organized under the laws of Mexico and most of our directors, officers and controlling persons reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our directors, officers and controlling persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States
12

on such persons or to enforce judgments against them in U.S. courts or in courts in jurisdictions outside of the United States, in each case, including in any action based on civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws.
The enforceability against our directors, officers and controlling persons in Mexico in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, and liabilities predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws will be subject to certain requirements provided for in the Mexican Federal Civil Procedure Code and any applicable treaties. Some of the requirements may include personal service of process and that the judgments of U.S. courts are not against Mexican public policy. The Mexican Securities Market Law, which is considered Mexican public policy, provides that, in the event of actions derived from any breach of the duty of care and the duty of loyalty against our directors and officers, any remedy would be exclusively for the benefit of our company. Therefore, investors would not be directly entitled to any remedies under such actions.
Developments in other countries may adversely affect the market for our securities.
The market value of securities of Mexican companies is, to varying degrees, influenced by economic and securities market conditions in other countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have effects on the securities of issuers in other countries, including Mexico. Crises in other countries may diminish investor interest in securities of Mexican issuers. For example, the ongoing military conflict involving Russia and Ukraine and the effect of the resulting economic sanctions imposed on Russia and certain Russian citizens and enterprises could adversely affect the market value of our securities.
Holders of units and ADSs in the United States may not be able to participate in any capital offering and as a result may be subject to dilution of their equity interests.
Under applicable Mexican law, if we issue new shares for cash as a part of a capital increase, other than in connection with a public offering of newly issued shares, treasury stock or mergers, we are generally required to grant our shareholders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. Rights to purchase shares in these circumstances are known as preemptive rights. By law, we may not allow holders of our units or ADSs who are located in the United States to exercise any preemptive rights in any future capital increases unless (1) we file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, with respect to that future issuance of shares or (2) the offering qualifies for an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At the time of any future capital increase, we will evaluate the costs and potential liabilities associated with filing a registration statement with the SEC, as well as the benefits of preemptive rights to holders of our units and ADSs in the United States and any other factors that we consider important in determining whether to file a registration statement.
We may decide not to file a registration statement with the SEC that would allow holders of our units or ADSs who are located in the United States to participate in a preemptive rights offering. In addition, under current Mexican law, the sale by the ADS depositary of preemptive rights and the distribution of the proceeds from such sales to the holders of ADSs is not possible. As a result, the equity interest of such holders of units or ADSs would be diluted proportionately. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Bylaws—Preemptive Rights.”

Corporate History
We are a subsidiary of FEMSA, a company that participates in the retail industry through (i) a proximity division operating OXXO, a small-format store chain, (ii) a health division, which includes drugstores and related activities and (iii) a fuel division, operating the OXXO Gas chain of retail service stations. FEMSA participates in the beverage industry through us and participates in the beer industry as the second largest shareholder of Heineken, one of the world’s leading brewers with operations in over 70 countries. FEMSA also participates in other ancillary businesses through its digital division which includes Spin by OXXO and OXXO Premia, among other loyalty and digital financial services initiatives and through its strategic business unit, which provides point-of-sale refrigeration, food processing equipment and plastics solutions to its business units and third-party clients. FEMSA also participates in the specialized distribution industry, through Envoy Solutions, LLC, including product sales in the Jan-San and
14

packaging sectors, as well as integral logistics services through Solística, S.A. de C.V. known as logistics and distribution. Across its business units, FEMSA has more than 320,000 employees in 13 countries.
We commenced operations in 1979, when a subsidiary of FEMSA acquired certain sparkling beverage bottlers in Mexico City and surrounding areas. In 1991, FEMSA transferred its ownership in the bottlers to FEMSA Refrescos, S.A. de C.V., our corporate predecessor. In June 1993, a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company subscribed for 30.0% of our capital stock in the form of Series D shares. In September 1993, FEMSA sold Series L shares that represented 19.0% of our capital stock to the public, and we listed these shares on the Mexican Stock Exchange and, in the form of ADSs, on the NYSE.
In a series of transactions since 1994, we acquired new territories, brands and other businesses, including Argentina and certain territories in southern Mexico, which today comprise our business. In May 2003, we acquired Panamerican Beverages Inc., or Panamco, and began producing and distributing Coca-Cola trademark beverages in additional territories in the central, southeastern and northeastern regions of Mexico and in Central America (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama), Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil, along with bottled water, beer and other beverages in some of these territories.

Business Strategy
We are transforming our company to thrive in the current evolving global business environment. We have strengthened our longstanding relationship with The Coca-Cola Company by together updating and enhancing the following main objectives: (i) growth principles, (ii) relationship economics, (iii) potential new businesses and ventures and (iv) digital strategy. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Cooperation Framework with The Coca-Cola Company”.
To consolidate our position as a global leader in our industry and strengthen our value proposition for our retail clients and end consumers, we are working across six strategic corridors: (i) build out an open omnichannel platform, (ii) develop a customer-centric winning portfolio, (iii) foster an agile, digital-savvy, people-centric culture, (iv) place sustainability at the center of our organization, (v) digitize our core, and (vi) actively pursue value-enhancing acquisitions.
Our view on sustainable development is a comprehensive part of our business strategy. We base our efforts in our ethics and values, focusing on (i) our people, (ii) our communities and (iii) our planet. We also take a responsible and disciplined approach to the use of resources and capital allocation.
To maximize growth and profitability, and driven by our strategic corridors, we plan on continuing to execute the following key strategies: (i) accelerate revenue growth, (ii) increase our business scale and profitability across categories, (iii) continue our expansion through organic growth, strategic joint ventures, business alliances and mergers and acquisitions, (iv) accelerate the digitization of our company, (v) develop an agile, digital-savvy culture, and (vi) continue to create a leaner and more efficient organization focused on sustainable value creation.
We seek to accelerate our revenue growth through the introduction of new categories, products and presentations that better meet our consumers’ needs and preferences, while maintaining our core products and improving our profitability. To address our consumers’ diverse lifestyles, we have developed new products through innovation and have expanded the availability of low- and non-caloric beverages by reformulating and broadening our product portfolio to reduce added sugar and offering smaller presentations of our products. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 35.5% of our brands were low- or non-caloric beverages, and we continue to expand our product portfolio to offer more options to our consumers so they can satisfy their hydration and nutrition needs. See “—Our Products” and “—Packaging.” In addition, we inform our consumers through front labeling on the nutrient composition and caloric content of our beverages in accordance with local laws and regulations. We voluntarily adhere to national and international codes of conduct in advertising and marketing, including communications targeted to minors who are developed based on the Responsible Marketing policies and Global School Beverage Guidelines of The Coca-Cola Company, achieving full compliance with all such codes, regulations and guidelines in all of the countries where we operate. See “—Other Regulations.”
We view our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company as integral to our business, and together we have developed marketing strategies to better understand and address our consumer needs. See “—Marketing.”
Measures to mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected global and regional economic conditions. In response, during 2020 and 2021 we adopted measures at our offices and facilities to ensure continued operations and to keep our teams and our customers healthy and
17

safe. As part of those measures, we have created a comprehensive management framework designed to guide our mitigation actions across five key areas: collaborators, clients, consumers, community and cash flow. These initiatives, which continue in effect as of the date of this report, include:
•Collaborators: Ensuring employees’ safety and wellbeing is of utmost importance. Measures include implementing reinforced health, sanitation and hygiene protocols across our facilities and providing our employees with additional protective equipment such as masks, gloves and sanitizers.
•Clients: We are helping our clients to remain open or reopen for business in a safe way. Among our initiatives, we have introduced protocols and routines for a safe visit to our clients while supporting them with tools such as gloves, masks, and protective screens to be used at service counters.
•Consumers: Consumers are one of our top priorities. Accordingly, we have leveraged our portfolio to provide affordable presentations across key markets and channels, and have reinforced our presence in digital and direct-to-home channels.
•Community: As part of our social response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have allowed some of our facilities to be used as vaccination centers and have donated beverages to health centers, transported medical supplies, contributed to the construction of alternative health centers, and acquired medical equipment, among other community relief initiatives.
•Cash Flow: Consistent with our financial discipline approach, we have implemented measures to further strengthen our balance sheet and protect our cash flow by prioritizing or rationalizing expenses.
Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused, and may continue to cause, temporary closures and capacity restrictions at points of sale, causing fluctuations in the volumes and mix of the products we sell. As a result, we have adopted a number of initiatives to reduce costs and generate savings and efficiencies in the territories where we operate.
Our Territories
The following map shows our territories, giving estimates in each case of the population to which we offer products and the number of retailers of our beverages as of December 31, 2021:

Our Products
We produce, market, sell and distribute mainly Coca-Cola trademark beverages. The Coca-Cola trademark beverages include: sparkling beverages (colas and flavored sparkling beverages), waters and other beverages (including juice drinks, coffee, teas, milk, value-added dairy, sports drinks, energy drinks, alcoholic beverages and plant-based drinks). In addition, we distribute and sell Heineken-owned brand beer products, Estrella Galicia and Therezópolis beer products in our Brazilian territories and Monster products in all of the countries where we operate.
19

During 2021, we started testing distribution of leading spirits and consumer brands in Mexico and Brazil as well as the distribution of leading spirits brands and other alcoholic products in Colombia and Panama. We expect these tests will enable us to assess and learn from new shopper and consumption trends, and gather the necessary insights to strengthen our value proposition for retailers and consumers in the future. We expect this will complement our reach, joint consumer value proposition, and provide partners with a unique edge to communicate with target consumers. As these are ongoing tests, further details will be provided in due course. As part of this multi-category strategy, as of September 2021, our Brazilian subsidiary started distributing the craft beer brand Therezópolis and entered into an agreement with Estrella Galicia to distribute its beers in Brazil.
Our most important brand, Coca-Cola, together with its line of low-calorie products, accounted for 62.6%, 63.9%, and 62.4% of our total sales volume in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The following table sets forth the trademarks of the main products we distributed in 2021:

Packaging
We produce, market, sell and distribute Coca-Cola trademark beverages in each of our territories in containers authorized by The Coca-Cola Company, which consist primarily of a variety of returnable and non-returnable presentations in the form of glass bottles, cans and plastic bottles mainly made of PET resin. We use the term presentation to refer to the packaging unit in which we sell our products. Presentation sizes for our Coca-Cola trademark beverages range from a 6.5-ounce personal size to a 3-liter multiple serving size. For all of our products excluding water, we consider a multiple serving size as equal to, or larger than, 1.0 liter. In general, personal sizes have a higher price per unit case as compared to multiple serving sizes. We offer both returnable and non-returnable presentations, which allow us to offer portfolio alternatives based on convenience and affordability to implement revenue management strategies and to target specific distribution channels and population segments in our territories. In addition, we sell some Coca-Cola trademark beverage syrups in containers designed for soda fountain use, which we refer to as fountain. We also sell bottled water products in bulk sizes, which refer to presentations equal to or larger than 5.0 liters and up to 20.0 liters, which have a much lower average price per unit case than our other beverage products.
Sales Volume and Transactions Overview
We measure total sales volume in terms of unit cases and number of transactions. “Unit case” refers to 192 ounces of finished beverage product (24 eight-ounce servings) and, when applied to soda fountains, refers to the volume of syrup, powders and concentrate that is required to produce 192 ounces of finished beverage product. “Transactions” refers to the number of single units (e.g. a can or a bottle) sold, regardless of their size or volume or whether they are sold individually or in multipacks, except for fountain which represents multiple transactions based on a standard 12 oz. serving.
Except when specifically indicated, “sales volume” in this annual report refers to sales volume in terms of unit cases.

Seasonality
Sales of our products are seasonal in all of the countries where we operate, as our sales volumes generally increase during the summer months of each country and during the year-end holiday season. In Mexico, Central America and Colombia, we typically achieve our highest sales during the months of April through August as well as during the year-end holidays in December. In Brazil,
22

Uruguay and Argentina, our highest sales levels occur during the summer months of October through March, including the year-end holidays in December.
Marketing
We, in conjunction with The Coca-Cola Company, have developed a marketing strategy to promote the sale and consumption of our products. We rely extensively on advertising, sales promotions and retailer support programs to target the particular preferences of our consumers.
Retailer Support Programs. Support programs include providing retailers with point-of-sale display materials and consumer sales promotions, such as contests, sweepstakes and the giveaway of product samples.
Coolers. Coolers play an integral role in our clients’ plans for success. Increasing both cooler coverage and the number of cooler doors among our retailers is important to ensure that our wide variety of products are properly displayed, while strengthening our merchandising capacity in our distribution channels to significantly improve our point-of-sale execution.
Advertising. We advertise in all major communications media. We focus our advertising efforts on increasing brand recognition by consumers and improving our customer relations. National advertising campaigns are designed and proposed by The Coca-Cola Company’s local affiliates in the countries where we operate, with our input at the local or regional level. Point-of-sale merchandising and advertising efforts are proposed and implemented by us, with a focus on increasing our connection with customers and consumers.
Marketing in our Distribution Channels. In order to provide more dynamic and specialized marketing of our products, our strategy is to classify our markets and develop targeted efforts for each consumer segment or distribution channel. Our principal channels are small retailers, “on-premise” accounts, such as restaurants and bars, supermarkets and third party distributors. Presence in these channels entails a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the purchasing patterns and preferences of various groups of beverage consumers in each of the different types of locations or distribution channels. In response to this analysis, we tailor our product, price, packaging and distribution strategies to meet the particular needs of and exploit the potential of each channel.
Multi-Segmentation. We have implemented a multi-segmentation strategy in all of our markets. These strategies consist of the definition of a strategic market cluster or group and the implementation and assignment of different product/price/package portfolios and service models to such market cluster or group. These clusters are defined based on consumption occasion, competitive environment, income level, and types of distribution channels.
Product Sales and Distribution
The following table provides an overview of our distribution centers and the retailers to which we sold our products:

| As of December 31, 2021
| Mexico and Central America(1) |  | South America(2)
Distribution centers | 187 |  |  | 73 |
Retailers | 1,060,549 |  |  | 985,780 |

(1) Includes Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
(2) Includes Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
We continuously evaluate our distribution model in order to fit with the local dynamics of the marketplace and analyze the way we go to market, recognizing different service needs from our customers, while looking for more efficient distribution models. As part of this strategy, we are rolling out a variety of new distribution models throughout our territories looking for improvements in our distribution network.
We use several sales and distribution models depending on market and geographic conditions and the customer’s profile: (i) the pre-sale system, which separates the sales and delivery functions, permitting trucks to be loaded with the mix of products that retailers have previously ordered, thereby increasing both sales and distribution efficiency; (ii) the conventional truck route system, in which the person in charge of the delivery makes immediate sales from inventory available on the truck; (iii) sales through digital platforms to access technologically enabled customers; (iv) the telemarketing system, which could be combined with pre-sales visits; and (v) sales through third-party wholesalers and other distributors of our products.
23

As part of the pre-sale system, sales personnel also provide merchandising services during retailer visits, which we believe enhance the shopper experience at the point-of-sale. We believe that an adequate number of service visits to retailers and frequency of deliveries are essential elements in an effective selling and distribution system of our products.
We continue to reinforce our presence in digital sales channels such as digital platforms, food aggregators, e-commerce websites and mobile device applications, in an effort to address the growing demand from our business partners through such sales channels. This reinforcement is aligned with our overall digitization and omnichannel strategies.
In 2021, 2020 and 2019, no single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of our consolidated total sales.
Our distribution centers range from large warehousing facilities to small cross-docking facilities. In addition to our fleet of trucks, we distribute our products in certain locations through electric carts and hand-trucks in order to comply with local environmental and traffic regulations. In some of our territories, we rely on third parties to transport our finished products from our bottling plants to our distribution centers and, in some cases, directly to our customers.
Mexico. We contract with a subsidiary of FEMSA, Solistica, S.A. de C.V., for the transportation of finished products from our bottling plants to our distribution centers in Mexico. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions.” From the distribution centers, we distribute our finished products to retailers mainly through our own fleet of trucks. In designated areas in Mexico, third-party distributors deliver our products to retailers and consumers, allowing us to access these areas on a cost-effective basis.
In Mexico, we sell a majority of our beverages through our traditional distribution channel, which consists of sales at small retail stores to consumers who may take the beverages for consumption at home or elsewhere. We also sell products through modern distribution channels, the “on-premise” consumption segment, home delivery routes, supermarkets and other locations. Modern distribution channels include large and organized chain retail outlets such as wholesale supermarkets, discount stores and convenience stores that sell fast-moving consumer goods, where retailers can buy large volumes of products from various producers. The “on-premise” consumption segment consists of sales through points-of-sale where products are consumed at the establishment from which they were purchased. This includes retailers such as restaurants and bars as well as stadiums, auditoriums and theaters.
In 2020 and 2021, the “on-premise” channel was the most affected in our Mexican operations, as a result of COVID-19 confinement measures. This effect was partially offset by resilient traditional distribution channels and increased sales through our digital channels and platforms such as food aggregators, e-commerce and other digital platforms. The rollout of our digital platforms allowed us to serve our customers in Mexico through a digital app and our proprietary chatbot-enabled order-taking platform. Additionally, other “direct-to-consumer” channels such as our own home delivery routes had an increase in demand. During 2021, as confinement measures were gradually reduced, we saw a gradual recovery of the “on-premise” channel.
Brazil. In Brazil, we distribute our finished products to retailers through a combination of our own fleet of trucks and third party distributors, while maintaining control over the selling activities. In designated zones in Brazil, third-party distributors purchase our products and resell them to retailers. In Brazil, we sell a majority of our beverages at small retail stores. We also sell products through modern distribution channels and “on- premise” consumption. Modern distribution channels in Brazil include large and organized chain retail outlets such as wholesale supermarkets and discount stores that sell fast- moving consumer goods.
In 2020 and 2021, the “on-premise” channel in our Brazil operations was the most affected as a result of COVID-19 confinement measures. This effect was partially offset by resilient traditional trade channels and increased sales through our digital channels and platforms such as food aggregators, e-commerce and other digital platforms. Additionally, the rollout of our digital platforms allowed us to complement our service to customers in Brazil through a digital app and our proprietary chatbot-enabled order-taking platform. During 2021, as confinement measures were gradually reduced, we saw a gradual recovery of the “on-premise” channel.
Territories other than Mexico and Brazil. We distribute our finished products to retailers through a combination of our own fleet of trucks and third party distributors. In most of our territories, an important part of our total sales volume is sold through small retailers.
In 2020 and 2021, a large percentage of our sales in our territories other than Mexico and Brazil were made through the traditional distribution channels and modern distribution channels, as the imposition of measures and regulations aimed at containing the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on consumer preferences towards these channels. The “on-premise” channel was the most affected sales and distribution channel in these territories as a result of confinement measures. This effect was partially offset by an increased demand for our digital channels and platforms such as food aggregators, e-commerce and other digital platforms. As countries began to ease restrictions and lockdowns, there was a subsequent recovery in the “on-premise” channel.

Principal Competitors
We are leaders in the beverage market in most of the countries where we operate, being the largest franchise bottler of Coca-Cola trademark products in the world by sales volume. During 2021, we produced and sold approximately 11.0% of the Coca-Cola system’s volume worldwide.
The characteristics of our territories are very diverse. Central Mexico and our territories in Argentina are densely populated and have a large number of competing beverage brands as compared to the rest of our territories. Our territories in Brazil are densely populated but have lower consumption of beverage products as compared to Mexico. Uruguay has a high per capita consumption and low population density. Portions of southern Mexico, Central America and Colombia are large and mountainous areas with low population density, low per capita income and low consumption of beverages.
Our principal competitors are local Pepsi bottlers and other bottlers and distributors of local beverage brands. We also face competition in many of our territories from producers of low price beverages, commonly referred to as “B brands.” A number of our competitors in Central America, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia offer beer in addition to sparkling beverages, still beverages and water, which may enable them to achieve distribution efficiencies that other competitors who do not offer an integrated portfolio may not achieve.
While competitive conditions are different in each of our territories, we compete mainly in terms of price, packaging, effective promotional activities, access to retail outlets and sufficient shelf space, customer service, product innovation and product alternatives and the ability to identify and satisfy consumer preferences. We compete by seeking to offer products at an attractive price in the different segments in our markets and by building on the value of our brands. We believe that the introduction of new products and new presentations has been a significant competitive advantage that allows us to increase demand for our products, provide different options to consumers and increase new consumption opportunities. See “—Our Products” and “—Packaging.”
Mexico and Central America. Our principal competitor in Mexico is Grupo GEPP, S.A.P.I. de C.V., the exclusive bottler of Pepsi beverage products and subsidiary of Organización Cultiba, S.A.B. de C.V., a joint venture formed by Grupo Embotelladoras Unidas, S.A.B. de C.V., the former Pepsi bottler in central and southeast Mexico, a subsidiary of PepsiCo and Empresas Polar, S.A., a beer distributor and Pepsi bottler. Our main competition in the juice category in Mexico is Grupo Jumex. In the water category, our main competitor is Bonafont, a water brand owned by Danone. In addition, we compete with Keurig Dr Pepper in sparkling beverages and with other local brands in our Mexican territories, as well as “B brand” producers, such as Embotelladora Aga de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Red Cola bottler), that offer various presentations of sparkling and still beverages.
In the countries that comprise our Central America region, our main competitors are Pepsi and Big Cola bottlers. In Guatemala and Nicaragua, we compete with a joint venture between The Central American Bottler Corporation and AmBev, and we compete with Cervecería Centroamericana S.A. In Costa Rica, our principal competitor is Florida Bebidas S.A., subsidiary of Florida Ice and Farm Co and Cooperativa de Productores de Leche Dos Pinos R.L in juices. In Panama, our main competitor is Cervecería Nacional, S.A. We also face competition from “B brands” offering multiple serving size presentations in some Central American countries.
South America. Our principal competitor in Colombia is Postobón, a local bottler that sells and distributes sparkling beverages (Manzana Postobón, Uva Postobón and Colombiana), still beverages (Hit Juice) and water (Crystal). Postobón also sells Pepsi products and is a vertically integrated producer, the owners of which hold other significant commercial and industrial interests in Colombia. We also compete with low-price producers, such as Ajecolombia S.A., the producers of Big Cola, which principally offer multiple serving size presentations in the sparkling and still beverage industry.
In Brazil, we compete against AmBev, a company that distributes Pepsi brands, local brands with flavors such as guarana, and proprietary beer brands. We also compete against “B brands” or “Tubainas,” which are small, local producers of low-cost sparkling beverages that represent a significant portion of the sparkling beverage market.
In Argentina, our main competitor is Buenos Aires Embotellador S.A. (BAESA), a Pepsi bottler, which is owned by Argentina’s principal brewery, Quilmes Industrial S.A., and indirectly controlled by AmBev. In the water category, Levité, Villavicencio and Villa del Sur are water brands owned by Danone, which is our main competition. In addition, we compete with a number of producers offering “B brands”, low-priced sparkling beverages, as well as many other generic products and private label proprietary supermarket brands that are gaining importance in the market. Manaos, a brand owned by Refres Now S.A. is our main competitor in this segment.
In Uruguay, our main competitor is Salus, a water brand owned by Danone. We also compete against Fábricas Nacionales de Cerveza S.A. (FNC), a Pepsi bottler and distributor that is partially owned by Argentina’s principal brewery, Quilmes Industrial S.A., and indirectly controlled by AmBev. In addition, we compete with CCU Inversiones II Ltda, a water, soft drinks and brewery company and finally with some low-priced regional producers.

Raw Materials
Pursuant to our bottler agreements, we are authorized to manufacture, sell and distribute Coca-Cola trademark beverages within specific geographic areas, and we are required to purchase concentrate for all Coca-Cola trademark beverages in all of our territories from affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company and sweeteners and other raw materials from companies authorized by The Coca-Cola Company. Concentrate prices for Coca-Cola trademark beverages are determined as a percentage of the weighted average retail price in local currency net of applicable taxes. Although The Coca-Cola Company has the right to set the price of concentrates, in practice this percentage has historically been set pursuant to periodic negotiations with The Coca-Cola Company. See “—Bottler Agreements.”
Historically, The Coca-Cola Company has increased concentrate prices for Coca-Cola trademark beverages in some of the countries where we operate. For example, The Coca-Cola Company began to gradually increase concentrate prices for certain Coca-Cola trademark beverages in Mexico beginning in 2017 and through 2019, followed by a subsequent increase in 2020 and in 2021. The Coca-Cola Company may increase concentrate prices in the future, and we may not be successful in negotiating or implementing measures to mitigate the negative effect this may have on the prices of our products or our results. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—Cooperation Framework with The Coca-Cola Company.”
In addition to concentrate, we purchase sweeteners, carbon dioxide, PET resin and preforms to make plastic bottles, finished plastic and glass bottles, cans, caps and fountain containers, as well as other packaging materials and raw materials. Our bottler agreements provide that these materials may be purchased only from suppliers approved by The Coca-Cola Company. Prices for certain raw materials, including those used in the bottling of our products, mainly PET resin, finished plastic bottles, aluminum cans, HFCS and certain sweeteners, are paid in or determined with reference to the U.S. dollar, and therefore local prices in a particular country may increase based on changes in the applicable exchange rates. Our most significant packaging raw material costs arise from the purchase of PET resin, the price of which is related to crude oil prices and global PET resin supply. On average, the price that we paid for PET resin in U.S. dollars in 2021 increased 13.9% as compared to 2020 in all our territories. In addition, given that high currency volatility has affected and continues to affect most of our territories, the average price for PET resin in local currencies was higher in all of our territories. In 2021, we purchased certain raw materials in advance, negotiated and locked-in prices in advance and entered into certain derivative transactions which helped us capture opportunities with respect to raw material costs and currency exchange rates.
Under our agreements with The Coca-Cola Company, we may use raw or refined sugar, artificial sweeteners and HFCS in our products. Sugar prices in all of the countries where we operate, other than Brazil, are subject to local regulations and other barriers to market entry that, in certain countries, often cause us to pay for sugar in excess of international market prices. In recent years, international sugar prices experienced significant volatility. Across our territories, our average price for sugar in U.S. dollars, taking into account our financial hedging activities, increased by approximately 13.8% in 2021 as compared to 2020.
We consider water a raw material in our business. We obtain water for the production of some of our natural spring water products, such as Manantial in Colombia and Crystal in Brazil, from spring water pursuant to concessions granted.
None of the materials or supplies that we use is presently in short supply, although the supply of specific materials could be adversely affected by strikes, weather conditions, governmental controls, national emergency situations, pandemics, water shortages or the failure to maintain our existing water concessions.
Mexico and Central America. In Mexico, we mainly purchase PET resin from Indorama Ventures Polymers México, S. de R.L. de C.V. and DAK Resinas Americas Mexico, S.A. de C.V., which Alpla México, S.A. de C.V., known as Alpla, and Envases Universales de México, S.A.P.I. de C.V. manufacture into non-returnable plastic bottles for us. Also, we have introduced into our business Asian global suppliers, such as Far Eastern New Century Corp., known as FENC, SFX – Jiangyin Xingyu New Material Co. Ltd. and Hainan Yisheng Petrochemical Co. Ltd., which support our PET resin strategy and are known as the top PET global suppliers.
We purchase all of our cans from Crown Envases México, S.A. de C.V., formerly known as Fábricas de Monterrey, S.A. de C.V., and Envases Universales de México, S.A.P.I. de C.V. We mainly purchase our glass bottles from Owens America, S. de R.L. de C.V., FEVISA Industrial, S.A. de C.V., known as FEVISA, and Glass & Silice, S.A. de C.V., and in 2021 we introduced glass bottles from Middle East suppliers such as Saudi Arabian Glass Co. Ltd known as SAGCO.
We purchase sugar from, among other suppliers, PIASA, Beta San Miguel, S.A. de C.V. or Beta San Miguel and Ingenio La Gloria, S.A., all of them sugar cane producers. As of the date of this annual report, we held a 36.4% and 2.7% equity interest in PIASA and Beta San Miguel, respectively. We purchase HFCS from Ingredion México, S.A. de C.V. and Almidones Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V., known as Almex.

Sugar prices in Mexico are subject to local regulations and other barriers to market entry that often cause us to pay higher prices than those paid in the international market. As a result, prices in Mexico have no correlation to international market prices. In 2021, sugar prices in local currency in Mexico increased approximately 7.5% as compared to 2020.
In Central America, the majority of our raw materials such as glass and non-returnable plastic bottles are purchased from several local suppliers. We purchase our cans from Envases Universales Ball de Centroamérica, S.A. and Envases Universales de México, S.A.P.I. de C.V. Sugar is available from suppliers that represent several local producers. In Costa Rica, we acquire plastic non-returnable bottles from Alpla C.R. S.A., and in Nicaragua we acquire such plastic bottles from Alpla Nicaragua, S.A.
South America. In Colombia, we use sugar as a sweetener in all of our caloric beverages, which we buy from several domestic sources. Sugar prices in Colombia increased by 18.2% in U.S. dollars and increased 16.4% in local currency, as compared to 2020. We purchase non-returnable plastic bottles from Amcor Rigid Plastics de Colombia, S.A. and Envases de Tocancipa S.A.S. (affiliate of Envases Universales de México, S.A.P.I. de C.V.). We have historically purchased all of our non-returnable glass bottles from O-I Peldar and other global suppliers in the Middle East. We purchase all of our cans from Crown Envases México, S.A. de C.V. and Crown Colombiana, S.A. Grupo Ardila Lulle (owners of our competitor Postobón) owns a minority equity interest in certain of our suppliers, including O-I Peldar and Crown Colombiana, S.A.
In Brazil, we also use sugar as a sweetener in all of our caloric beverages. Sugar is available at local market prices, which historically have been similar to international prices. Sugar prices in Brazil increased approximately 35.0% in U.S. dollars and increased 42.8% in local currency as compared to 2020. Taking into account our financial hedging activities, our sugar prices in Brazil increased 2.4% in U.S. dollars and 8.3% in local currency as compared to 2020. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk.” We purchase non-returnable glass bottles, plastic bottles and cans from several domestic and international suppliers. We mainly purchase PET resin from local suppliers such as Indorama Ventures Polímeros S.A.
In Argentina, we mainly use HFCS that we purchase from several different local suppliers as a sweetener in our products. We purchase glass bottles and other raw materials from several domestic sources. We purchase plastic preforms at competitive prices from Andina Empaques S.A., a local subsidiary of Embotelladora Andina, S.A., a Coca-Cola bottler with operations in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, Alpla Avellaneda, S.A., AMCOR Argentina, and other local suppliers.
In Uruguay, we also use sugar as a sweetener in all of our caloric beverages, which is available at Brazil’s local market prices. Sugar prices in Uruguay increased approximately 14.9% in U.S. dollars and increased 19.7% in local currency as compared to 2020. Our main supplier of sugar is Nardini Agroindustrial Ltda., which is based in Brazil. We purchase PET resin from several Asian suppliers, such as SFX – Jiangyin Xingyu New Material Co. Ltd. and India Reliance Industry (a joint venture with DAK Resinas Americas Mexico, S.A. de C.V.), and we purchase non-returnable plastic bottles from global PET converters, such as Cristalpet S.A. (affiliate of Envases Universales de México, S.A.P.I. de C.V.).

Regulation
We are subject to different regulations in each of the territories where we operate. The adoption of new laws or regulations or changes in existing laws or regulations in the countries where we operate may increase our operating and compliance costs, increase our liabilities or impose restrictions on our operations which, in turn, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and financial results.
Price Controls
Voluntary price restraints or statutory price controls have been imposed historically in several of the countries where we operate. Currently, there are no price controls on our products in any of the territories where we operate, except for Argentina. In 2020, the Argentine government imposed statutory price restraints with respect to certain of our products and the list of products to which the voluntary price restraints applies was expanded. Any changes to applicable law affecting prices could have an adverse effect on our business. See “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Company—Regulatory developments may adversely affect our business financial condition and results of operations.”
Taxation of Beverages
All the countries where we operate, except for Panama, impose value-added tax on the sale of sparkling beverages, with a rate of 16.0% in Mexico, 12.0% in Guatemala, 15.0% in Nicaragua, an average percentage of 15.9% in Costa Rica, 19.0% in Colombia, 21.0% in Argentina, 22.0% in Uruguay, and in Brazil 16.0% in the states of Parana and Rio de Janeiro, 17.0% in the states of Goias and Santa Catarina, 18.0% in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, and 20.0% in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Rio Grande do Sul. The states of Rio de Janeiro, Goias, Minas Gerais and Parana also charge an additional 2.0% on sales as a contribution to a poverty eradication fund. In Brazil the value-added tax is grossed-up and added, along with federal sales tax, at the taxable basis. In addition, we are responsible for charging and collecting the value-added tax from each of our retailers in Brazil, based on average retail prices for each state where we operate, defined primarily through a survey conducted by the government of each state, which in 2021 represented to us an average taxation of approximately 17.0% over net sales.
Several of the countries where we operate impose excise or other taxes, as follows:
•Mexico imposes an excise tax on the production, sale and import of beverages with added sugar and HFCS, which as of January 1, 2022 was equal to Ps.1.3996 per liter. This excise tax is applied only to the first sale, and we are responsible for charging and collecting it. This excise tax rate will be in effect until December 31, 2022, and will thereafter be subject to an annual increase based on the previous year’s inflation rate. From January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 the excise tax was Ps.1.3036 per liter.
•Guatemala imposes an excise tax of 0.18 cents in local currency (Ps.0.48 as of December 31, 2021) per liter of sparkling beverage.
•Costa Rica imposes a specific tax on non-alcoholic carbonated bottled beverages based on the combination of packaging and flavor, currently assessed at 19.76 colones (Ps.0.63 as of December 31, 2021) per 250 ml, and an excise tax (which is a contribution to the National Institute of Rural Development (Instituto Nacional de Desarrollo Rural)) currently assessed at 6.787 colones (approximately Ps.0.22 as of December 31, 2021) per 250 ml.
•Since January 1, 2021, Nicaragua imposes a 15.0% tax on beverages, except for water (from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 the excise tax was 13.0%, from March 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 the excise tax was 11.0% and prior to March 1, 2019 the excise tax was 9.0%), and municipalities impose a 1.0% tax on our Nicaraguan gross income.
•Until November 17, 2019, Panama imposed an excise tax of 5.0% on carbonated beverages and imported non-carbonated beverages and a 10.0% selective consumption tax on syrups, powders and concentrate used to produce sugary drinks. On November 18, 2019, Panama replaced such excise tax with an excise tax of 7.0% on carbonated beverages with more than 7.5 grams of sugar or any caloric sweetener per 100 ml, and a 10.0% tax on syrups, powders and concentrate used to produce sugary drinks. Since January 1, 2020, Panama imposes an excise tax of 5.0% on non-carbonated beverages with more than 7.5 grams of sugar or any caloric sweetener per 100 ml, whether imported or produced locally. Beverages derived from dairy products, grains or cereals, nectars, fruit juices and vegetables with natural fruit concentrates are exempt from this tax.
•Argentina imposes an excise tax of 8.7% on sparkling beverages containing less than 5.0% lemon juice or less than 10.0% fruit juice, and an excise tax of 4.2% on sparkling water and flavored sparkling beverages with 10.0% or more fruit juice content, although this excise tax is not applicable to some of our products.
28

•Brazil assesses an average production tax of approximately 4.1% and an average sales tax of approximately 12.09% over net sales. Except for sales to wholesalers, these production and sales taxes apply only to the first sale, and we are responsible for charging and collecting these taxes from each of our retailers. For sales to wholesalers, they are entitled to recover the sales tax and charge this tax again upon the resale of our products to retailers.
•Colombia’s municipalities impose a sales tax that varies between 0.35% and 1.2% of net sales.
•Uruguay imposes an excise tax of 19.0% on sparkling beverages, an excise tax of 12.0% on fruit juice-based beverages with at least 10.0% natural fruit juice content (or at least 5.0% natural fruit juice content in the case of lemon), and an excise tax of 8.0% on sparkling water and still water.
Tax Reforms
In early 2017, the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court decided that the value-added tax would not be used as the basis for calculating the federal sales tax, resulting in a reduction of the federal sales tax. Our Brazilian subsidiaries commenced legal proceedings to ascertain their ability to calculate federal sales tax without using the value-added tax as a basis, in accordance with the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court’s first ruling, and obtained a final favorable resolution in 2019. However, the Brazilian tax authorities appealed the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court’s decision and such appeal was denied in May 2021. In 2021, the federal production and sales taxes together resulted in an average of 16.2% tax over net sales.
In recent years, the excise tax rate on concentrate in Brazil has undergone recurrent temporary fluctuations. The excise tax rate was increased from 4.0% to 12.0% from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, was reduced to 8.0% from July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 and was increased to 10.0% from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The excise tax rate was reduced to 4.0% from January 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020, was increased to 8.0% from June 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020, was reduced again to 4.0% from December 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, and was increased to 8.0% from February 1, 2021 onwards. The tax credit that we may recognize in our Brazilian operations in connection with purchases of concentrate in the Manaus Free Trade Zone has been affected accordingly.
On January 1, 2018, a tax reform became effective in Argentina that reduced the income tax rate from 35.0% to 30.0% for 2018 and 2019, and then to 25.0% for 2020. This same tax reform decreased the sales tax rate in the province of Buenos Aires from 1.75% to 1.5% in 2018. The reform scheduled a reduction in the sales tax rate in the City of Buenos Aires from 2.0% to 1.5% in 2019, to 1.0% in 2020, to 0.5% in 2021 and to 0.0% in 2022. Nonetheless, the Argentine government has issued several executive decrees since 2019 to maintain the sales tax rate for the province of Buenos Aires and the City of Buenos Aires at a rate of 1.5%.
In June 2021 (with retroactive effects as of January 2021), the Argentine government increased the income tax rate to 35.0% for 2021 onwards and imposed a tax rate of 7.0% on dividends paid to non-resident stockholders and resident individuals.
On January 1, 2019, the Mexican government eliminated the right to offset any tax credit against any payable tax (universal offset or compensación universal). Effective as of such date, tax credits are only offset against taxes of the same nature, and it is not possible to offset tax credits against taxes withheld to third parties.
On January 1, 2020, a tax reform became effective in Mexico. The most relevant changes are: (i) a limitation on taxpayers’ annual net interest expense deduction equal to 30.0% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income (comparable to EBITDA), provided that (x) any interest expenses of a company below Ps.20 million (approximately US$1 million) are not subject to the rule and can therefore be deducted in their entirety and (y) any deductible interest that is not allowed to be deducted in a given year because of the 30.0% limit, may be carried forward for the subsequent 10 years; (ii) stringent rules to categorize certain foreign income and foreign subsidiaries that are subject to low levels of taxation as subject to Mexican income tax; (iii) an inflation-related increase in the excise tax applicable to the production, sale and import of beverages with added sugar and HFCS from Ps.1.17 to Ps.1.2616 per liter, which excise tax will be subject to an annual increase based on the previous year’s inflation rate starting on January 1, 2021; (iv) an expansion of the definition of “energy drink” to apply an excise tax of 25.0% on beverages that include a mix of caffeine and any other stimulants; and (v) a modification of the Mexican Federal Tax Code to (a) increase the number of events that may trigger the joint and several liability of partners, shareholders, directors, managers or any other person responsible for the management of a business, (b) add a new disclosure obligation of certain reportable transactions to tax authorities, and (c) increase the tax authorities’ discretion to limit tax benefits or attributes in situations where authorities believe the tax benefit, rather than a business reason or an alternative economic benefit, is the primary factor behind a transaction or legal structure.
In April 2021, the Mexican government amended the Federal Labor Law, the Mexican Federal Tax Code and other laws that regulate labor benefits to prohibit the outsourcing of personnel except in certain circumstances such as specialized works or services that are not part of the core business of a company and that are provided by services providers registered with the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare. As a result of this tax reform, the deduction of expenses related to outsourcing is prohibited as well as the ability to credit the value-added tax generated by the expenses related to the outsourcing and in extreme cases, the outsourcing of personnel may qualify as tax fraud. This reform became effective on September 1, 2021.

In accordance with amendments to Mexican tax laws in effect from January 1, 2022, Mexican issuers are joint and severally liable for taxes payable on gains derived from the sale or disposition of its shares or securities representing its shares, such as ADSs, by major shareholders who are non-Mexican residents with no permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes, to other non-Mexican residents with no permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes, to the extent that such Mexican issuer fails to provide certain information with respect to such sale or disposition to the Mexican tax authorities. For purposes of these regulations, “major shareholders” are shareholders that are identified in reports submitted by the Mexican issuer to the CNBV on an annual basis as a result of being (i) directors or officers who directly or indirectly own 1.0% or more of the Mexican issuer’s capital stock, (ii) shareholders who directly or indirectly own 5.0% or more of the Mexican issuer’s capital stock or (iii) within the ten largest shareholders of the Mexican issuer based on direct ownership of shares of capital stock. Although in some instances Mexican tax authorities have indicated that this reporting obligation would only apply to transfers of shares or securities representing shares that result in a change of control, there are no established criteria or general interpretations to that effect issued by the Mexican tax authorities. There is currently no obligation by non-Mexican residents to inform Mexican issuers about their sales or dispositions of shares or securities representing shares, which limits our ability to comply with our reporting obligations to the Mexican tax authorities. Therefore, the amount of a potential tax liability is uncertain and difficult to determine given inherent mechanics and procedures, including the application of any tax treaties available, applicable to the trading of publicly-traded securities.
On January 1, 2019, a new tax reform became effective in Colombia. This reform reduced the previous income tax rate of 33.0% for 2019 to 32.0% for 2020, to 31.0% for 2021 and to 30.0% for 2022. The minimum assumed income tax (renta presuntiva sobre el patrimonio) was also reduced from 3.5% for 2018 to 1.5% for 2019 and 2020, and to 0.0% for 2021. In addition, the thin capitalization ratio was adjusted from 3:1 to 2:1, and was modified to apply only to transactions between related parties. Commencing on January 1, 2019, value-added tax, which was applied only to the first sale in the supply chain prior to December 31, 2018, began to be applied and transferred throughout the entire supply chain, which in our case results in charging value-added tax on the sales price of our finished goods (applicable to our Colombian subsidiary located in the free trade zone). For companies located in free trade zones, the value-added tax is charged on the cost of imported raw materials of national and foreign origin, which we are able to credit against the value-added tax on the sales price of our products. The municipality sales tax was 50.0% deductible against income tax payable in 2019 and will be 100.0% deductible in 2020. Finally, the value-added tax paid on acquired fixed assets will be credited against income tax or the minimum assumed income tax. Additionally, this tax reform increased the tax rate on dividends paid to foreign individuals and non-resident entities from 5.0% to 7.5%. The tax reform also imposed a tax rate of 7.5% on dividends paid to Colombian companies. This tax is charged only on the first distribution of dividends from one Colombian corporate entity to another, and a credit resulting from the tax withholding is carried forward until a Colombian company makes a distribution to a shareholder that is an individual residing in Colombia or a non-resident individual or entity.
In October 2019, the Colombian courts declared the tax reform that became effective on January 1, 2019 unconstitutional. On December 27, 2019, the Colombian government enacted a new tax reform, which became effective on January 1, 2020. In general, the reform maintained the provisions introduced on the previous tax reform and included some additional changes, as follows: (i) the minimum assumed income tax rate (renta presuntiva sobre el patrimonio) was reduced from 1.5% to 0.5% for 2020 and reduced to 0.0% for the year 2021 onwards; (ii) the tax rate on dividends paid to Colombian resident individuals was reduced from 15.0% to 10.0%; (iii) the tax rate on dividends paid to foreign individuals and non-resident entities was increased from 7.5% to 10.0%; (iv) the possibility to deduct 100.0% of the municipality sales tax against payable income tax was postponed to 2022; and (v) taxpayers were granted more flexibility to credit or recover the value-added tax of imported goods from free trade zones.
In August 2021, a new tax reform became effective in Colombia. This reform increased the income tax rate from 30.0% to 35.0% for 2022 onwards and limited to 50.0% the ability to deduct the municipality sales taxes against income taxes.
On July 1, 2019, a tax reform became effective in Costa Rica. This reform allowed tax credits on sales taxes to be recorded on goods, administrative services and general expenses. The value-added tax rate of 13.0% on services provided within Costa Rica now applies to both domestic and foreign service providers. Capital gains taxes are now imposed at a rate of 15.0% on sales of assets located in Costa Rica. New income tax withholding rates are now imposed on salaries and other employee benefits at the rates of 25.0% and 20.0%, depending on the salary bracket. Finally, a new thin capitalization rule provides that interest expenses paid to entities other than members of the Costa Rican financial system that exceed 20.0% of a company’s EBITDA are not deductible for income tax purposes.
Until November 17, 2019, Panama imposed an excise tax of 5.0% on carbonated beverages and imported non-carbonated beverages and a 10.0% selective consumption tax on syrups, powders and concentrate used to produce sugary drinks. On November 18, 2019, Panama replaced such excise tax with an excise tax of 7.0% on carbonated beverages with more than 7.5 grams of sugar or any caloric sweetener per 100 ml, and a 10.0% tax on syrups, powders and concentrate used to produce sugary drinks. As of January 1, 2020, Panama imposes an excise tax of 5.0% on non-carbonated beverages with more than 7.5 grams of sugar or any caloric sweetener per 100 ml, whether imported or produced locally. Beverages derived from dairy products, grains or cereals, nectars, fruit juices and vegetables with natural fruit concentrates are exempt from this tax.

On March 1, 2019, a tax reform became effective in Nicaragua, increasing the excise tax for all beverages (except for water) from 9.0% to 11.0%; to 13.0% on January 1, 2020; and to 15.0% starting on January 1, 2021. In addition, starting on March 1, 2019, the minimum alternative income tax increased from 1.0% to 3.0%.
On December 29, 2020, the Uruguayan government issued an executive decree to modify the way the excise tax credit of beverages sold in returnable bottles is calculated, which excise tax credit is currently 1.15 Uruguayan pesos (Ps.0.53 as of December 31, 2021) per liter. Starting on January 1, 2021 and until June 30, 2021, the excise tax credit was calculated based on the ratio of purchases made by any company in Uruguay selling returnable bottles produced in Uruguay in the last three years to the total purchases of returnable bottles made by such company in and outside Uruguay in the last three years. The Uruguayan government did not issue another executive decree with the rules that should have applied beginning on June 30, 2021; therefore since July 1, 2021, this tax credit is no longer applicable.
On December 31, 2021, the Uruguayan government issued an executive decree that increased the excise tax for energy drinks from 19.0% to 22.0%. This increase is effective as of January 2022.
Water Supply
Given that water is an essential resource to carry out all human activity, and given its key role in our business as a beverage bottler company, comprehensive and efficient water management is of utmost importance. As a result, as of December 31, 2021, we had a water use ratio of 1.47 liters of water used per liter of beverage produced, which is a benchmark within The Coca-Cola system. Additionally, as part of our sustainability strategy, in September 2021, we issued sustainability-linked bonds in the Mexican markets, where we committed to achieve a water use ratio of 1.36 by 2024 and 1.26 by 2026. The bond’s interest rate depends on us achieving these key performance indicators, and in the event that such indicators are not met by the dates established in the offering documents, the interest rate on the bonds will increase by 25 basis points. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Summary of Significant Debt Instruments”. In addition, our goal is to further reduce our water consumption and to return to the environment and our communities the same amount of water used to produce our beverages. With respect to wastewater treatment, all of our bottling plants have their own wastewater treatment plants or have contracted related services to ensure the quality of the waste water discharge.
In Mexico, we obtain water directly from wells pursuant to concessions obtained from the Mexican government for each bottling plant. Water use in Mexico is regulated primarily by the 1992 Water Law (Ley de Aguas Nacionales de 1992), as amended, and regulations issued thereunder, which created the National Water Commission (Comisión Nacional del Agua). The National Water Commission is in charge of overseeing the national system of water use. Under the 1992 Water Law, concessions for the use of a specific volume of ground or surface water generally run from five to fifty-year terms, depending on the supply of groundwater in each region as projected by the National Water Commission. Concessionaires may request concession terms be extended before the expiration of the same. The Mexican government may reduce the volume of ground or surface water granted for use by a concession by whatever volume of water that is not used by the concessionaire for two consecutive years, unless the concessionaire proves that the volume of water not used is because the concessionaire is saving water by an efficient use of it. Our concessions may be terminated if, among other things, we use more water than permitted or we fail to pay required concession-related fees and do not cure such situations in a timely manner. Although we have not undertaken independent studies to confirm the sufficiency of the existing groundwater supply, we believe that our existing concessions satisfy our current water requirements in Mexico.
In addition, the 1992 Water Law provides that plants located in Mexico must pay a fee either to the local governments for the discharge of residual waste water to drainage or to the federal government for the discharge of residual waste water into rivers, oceans or lakes. Pursuant to this law, certain local and federal authorities test the quality of the waste water discharge and charge plants an additional fee for measurements that exceed certain standards published by the National Water Commission. In the case of non-compliance with the law, penalties, including closures, may be imposed. All of our bottling plants located in Mexico meet these standards. See “—Description of Property, Plant and Equipment.”
In Brazil, we obtain water and mineral water from wells pursuant to concessions granted by the Brazilian government for each bottling plant.
According to the Brazilian Constitution and the National Water Resources Policy, water is considered an asset of common use and can only be exploited for the national interest by Brazilians or companies formed under Brazilian law. Concessionaires and users can be held responsible for any damage to the environment. The exploitation and use of mineral water are regulated by the Code of Mining, Decree Law No. 227/67 (Código de Mineração), the Mineral Water Code, Decree Law No. 7841/1945 (Código de Águas Minerais), the National Water Resources Policy, Decree No. 24.643/1934 and Law No. 9433/97 and by regulations issued thereunder. The companies that exploit water are supervised by the National Mining Agency (Agência Nacional de Mineração —ANM) and the
31

National Water Agency (Agência Nacional de Águas) in connection with federal health agencies, as well as state and municipal authorities. We use spring water in our bottling plants where we have obtained all the necessary permits.
In Colombia, in addition to natural spring water for Manantial, we obtain water directly from wells and from utility companies. We are required to have a specific concession to exploit water from natural sources. Our concession to exploit water from natural sources in Colombia was granted by Resolution No. 3485 in May 2014, and expires in December 2024. Water use in Colombia is regulated by Decree No. 1076 of 2015.
In May 2019, the Colombian government enacted Law 1955 of 2019 (National Development Plan 2018-2022), which applies to certain of the plants in our Colombian operations and allows the discharge of industrial waste water into the drainage system without the need to obtain a specific permit until the end of 2022. We expect that this Law will be extended for another five years at the end of 2022 through the next National Development Plan, however we cannot assure you that this Law will be extended or that any future laws and regulations adopted by the Colombian government in this regard will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
In Argentina, a state water company provides water to our Alcorta bottling plant on a limited basis; however, we believe the authorized amount meets our requirements for this bottling plant. In our Monte Grande bottling plant in Argentina, we pump water from wells, in accordance with Law No. 25.688.
In Uruguay, we acquire water from the local water system, which is managed by the Organism of Sanitary Works (Obras Sanitarias del Estado).
Additionally, we are required by the Uruguayan federal government to discharge all of our water excess to the sanitation system for recollection.
In Nicaragua, the use of water is regulated by the National Water Law (Ley General de Aguas Nacionales). In November 2017, we obtained a permit to increase our monthly amount of water used for production in Nicaragua and renewed our concession for the exploitation of wells for five more years, extending the expiration date to November 2022. In Costa Rica, the use of water is regulated by the Water Law (Ley de Aguas). In both of these countries, we exploit water from wells granted to us through governmental concessions. In Guatemala, no license or permits are required to exploit water from the private wells in our own bottling plants. In Panama, we acquire water from a state water company, and the use of water is regulated by the Panama Use of Water Regulation (Reglamento de Uso de Aguas de Panamá).
Environmental Regulations
In all of our territories, our operations are subject to federal and state laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. In Mexico, the principal legislation is the General Law for Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection (Ley General de Equilibrio Ecológico y Protección al Ambiente, or the Mexican Environmental Law), and the General Law for the Prevention and Integral Waste Management (Ley General para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos) which are enforced by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (Secretaría del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, or SEMARNAT). SEMARNAT can bring administrative and criminal proceedings against companies that violate environmental laws, and it also has the power to close non-complying facilities. Under the Mexican Environmental Law, rules have been promulgated concerning water, air and noise pollution and hazardous substances. In particular, Mexican environmental laws and regulations require that we file periodic reports with respect to hazardous wastes and set forth standards for waste water discharge that apply to our operations. We have implemented several programs designed to facilitate compliance with air, waste, noise and energy standards established by current Mexican federal and state environmental laws, including a program that installs catalytic converters and liquid petroleum gas in delivery trucks for our operations in Mexico City. See “—The Company—Product Sales and Distribution.”
In March 2015, the General Law of Climate Change (Ley General de Cambio Climático), its regulation and certain decrees related to such law became effective, imposing upon different industries (including the food and beverage industry) the obligation to report direct or indirect gas emissions exceeding 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide. Currently, we are not required to report these emissions, since we do not exceed this threshold. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to comply with this reporting requirement in the future.
In June 2019, the government of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico amended the Law for the Prevention and Management of Solid Waste (Ley para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos Sólidos) to prohibit the use, sale and distribution of single-use PET bottles for water and all other beverages in the state of Oaxaca. We have filed a legal recourse against the amended law, which is pending resolution. If our legal recourse is unsuccessful, this amended law could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in Mexico.
Our Central American operations are subject to several national and local laws and regulations related to the protection of the environment and the disposal of hazardous and toxic materials, as well as water usage. In December 2019, the Costa Rican
32

government enacted Law No. 9,786, which requires that companies that sell, distribute or produce plastic bottles made of single use plastics comply with at least one of the following obligations: (a) produce plastic bottles that contain a percentage of recycled resin (such percentage to be defined in a separate regulation not yet enacted), (b) implement a recycling or collection program of the plastic bottles sold by such company (such programs to be defined in a separate regulation not yet enacted), (c) participate in waste management programs appropriate to the relevant industry or product, (d) use or produce packaging or products that minimize the generation of solid waste, or (e) establish strategic partnerships with at least one municipality to improve its collection and waste management programs. Although this law is already enacted, we are not required to comply with it until its regulations are enacted.
Our Colombian operations are subject to several Colombian federal and state laws and regulations related to the protection of the environment and the use of treated water and hazardous materials. These laws include the control of air emissions, noise emissions, use of treated water and strict limitations on the use of chlorofluorocarbons. In 2018, the Colombian government enacted Law 1407, which regulates the use and management of packaging waste in the form of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and metal. The law imposes certain goals on producers for the use and recycling of such packaging waste (e.g. in 2021 the goal set forth by the law is the use and recycling of 10.0% of packaging waste) and imposes the obligation to report to the corresponding authorities their progress on such activities and their strategies to achieve the imposed targets. In December 2020, our Colombian subsidiary filed its plan of environmental management of packaging waste.
Our Brazilian operations are subject to several federal, state and municipal laws and regulations related to the protection of the environment. Among the most relevant laws and regulations are those dealing with the emission of greenhouse gases, the disposal of wastewater and solid waste, and soil contamination, which impose penalties, such as fines, facility closures and criminal charges depending upon the level of non-compliance. Among other regulations, a municipal regulation of the City of São Paulo, implemented pursuant to Law 13.316/2002, requires us to collect 90.0% of PET resin bottles sold. We are currently unable to collect the entire required volume of PET resin bottles we sell in the City of São Paulo and could be fined and be subject to other sanctions, such as the suspension of operations in any of our bottling plants and/or distribution centers located in the City of São Paulo. In October 2010, the municipal authority of São Paulo levied a fine on our Brazilian operating subsidiary of 250,000 Brazilian reais (Ps.0.9 million as of December 31, 2021). We have filed a legal recourse against the imposition of this fine, which is pending resolution.
In August 2010, Law No. 12.305/2010 was enacted, establishing the Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy to regulate the recycling and correct management of solid waste, which policy is regulated by Federal Decree No. 7.404/2010. The Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy is based on the principle of shared responsibility between the government, companies and consumers; it provides for the post-consumption return of products and requires public authorities to implement waste management programs. In order to comply with the Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy, in December 2012, an agreement proposal was created by almost 30 associations involved in the packaging sector, including ABIR in its capacity as representative for The Coca-Cola Company, our Brazilian subsidiary and other bottlers, and was provided to the Ministry of the Environment. The agreement proposed the creation of a “coalition” to implement systems for packaging waste reverse logistics. The proposal described strategies for sustainable development and the improvement of the management of solid waste to increase recycling rates and decrease incorrect disposal. Although the Ministry of Environment approved and signed this agreement in November 2015, in August 2016, public prosecutor’s offices of the state of São Paulo and the state of Mato Grosso do Sul filed several class actions against the parties that signed the agreement, challenging the validity of certain terms of the agreement and the effectiveness of the mandatory measures to be taken by the companies of the packaging sector to comply with the Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy, and requiring the payment of certain dues in exchange for the state’s provision of selective waste management services. At the end of 2020, an agreement was executed between the public prosecutor’s office of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and the associations involved in the packaging sector, including ABIR as representative of our Brazilian subsidiaries, aiming to resolve and conclude the class actions. In exchange, the companies located in Mato Grosso do Sul pledged to demonstrate their compliance with the Mato Grosso do Sul state’s Decree No. 15.340/2019 that establishes the guidelines and targets to implement systems for packaging waste reverse logistics in Mato Grosso do Sul.
Our Argentine operations are subject to federal and municipal laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The most significant of these are regulations concerning waste management, which is regulated by federal Law 24.051 and Law 9111/78, and waste water discharge. Such regulations are enforced by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Sustainable Development (Secretaría de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sustentable) and the Provincial Organization for Sustainable Development (Organismo Provincial para el Desarrollo Sostenible) for the province of Buenos Aires. Our Alcorta bottling plant is in compliance with environmental standards.
In Uruguay, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including regulations concerning waste management and waste water discharge and disposal of hazardous and toxic materials, among others. We own a water treatment plant for the discharge of residual water. We have established a program for recycling solid wastes.
We have spent, and may be required to spend in the future funds to comply with and remediation under local environmental laws and regulations. Currently, we do not believe that such costs will have a material adverse effect on our results or financial condition. However, since environmental laws and regulations and their enforcement are becoming increasingly stringent in our territories, and
33

there is increased recognition by local authorities of the need for higher environmental standards in the countries where we operate, changes in current regulations may result in an increase in costs, which may have an adverse effect on our future results or financial condition. We currently are not aware of any significant pending regulatory changes that would require a significant amount of additional remedial capital expenditures.
We do not believe that our business activities pose a material risk to the environment, and we believe that we are in material compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
Other Regulations
In August 2018, the Uruguayan government enacted Decree No. 272/018, which imposes an obligation to label certain food and beverage products that contain sodium, sugar, fats or saturated fats with health warnings. In September 2020, the Uruguayan government enacted a subsequent decree, Decree No. 246/020, changing the parameters to measure if any product is required to have health warnings. We are currently in compliance with this decree.
In August 2018, the Brazilian government enacted Law No. 13,709/2018 (Personal Data Protection Law), which imposes control measures and other rights and obligations with respect to the processing of personal data by natural persons and legal entities, including by digital means. This law aims to create higher levels of certainty and transparency for data owners, containing obligations to display evidence of compliance and strict penalties for perpetrators who cause damage as a result of their violation of the law. We implemented the procedures and certain mechanisms to comply with this law, including the appointment of a data protection officer and the creation of a personal data protection committee, and we continue to implement and update the procedures and mechanisms to best address the law’s requirements.
In March 2020, the Mexican government amended the existing Official Mexican Standard (NOM-051), which regulates the labeling of prepackaged food and non-alcoholic beverages (“Products”), to introduce a new labeling system for Products sold in Mexico. The amended regulation sets forth that Products’ nutrition facts labels must include protein, sugar, added sugar, sodium, saturated fat and other fat contents per 100 grams or 100 milliliters. Nutrition facts labels must also include complementary nutritional information by means of octagonal seals, which shall apply to Products that exceed the NOM-051 parameters regarding recommended sugar, calorie, sodium, saturated fat and other fat contents, as well as warnings for any Products that contain caffeine or non-caloric sweeteners. In accordance with the amended NOM-051, our entire portfolio is in compliance with applicable labeling guidelines. However, we filed a legal recourse against this regulation, which is pending resolution.
In August 2020, the government of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico amended the Law on the Rights of Girls, Boys and Adolescents of the state of Oaxaca (Ley de los Derechos de Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes del Estado de Oaxaca) to prohibit the distribution, donation, grant gifts, sale and supply of beverages with added sugar and of high-calorie packaged food to minors (including through public and private schools from elementary school through high school), except to the parents or legal guardians of the minors. We have filed a legal recourse against this amended law, which is pending resolution. If our legal recourse is unsuccessful, this amended law could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in Mexico.
In August 2020, the government of the state of Tabasco, Mexico amended the Health Law of the state of Tabasco (Ley de Salud del Estado de Tabasco), Law of Education of the state of Tabasco (Ley de Educación del Estado de Tabasco) to prohibit: (i) the sale or supply to minors (except to parents or legal guardians of minors) certain products, including prepackaged and carbonated beverages with added sugar; and (ii) the sale of (or installing vending machines to sell) prepackaged and carbonated beverages with added sugar, among other products, in public or private schools from elementary schools through high schools, public and private hospitals and health centers. We have filed a legal recourse against this amended law, which is pending resolution. If our legal recourse is unsuccessful, this amended law could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in Mexico. In addition, the Municipal Finance Law of the state of Tabasco (Ley de Hacienda Municipal del Estado de Tabasco) was amended to impose an increase of 25.0% to municipal fees payable to advertise these products in billboards and prohibits the placement of such advertisements at a certain distance from private and public schools, hospitals and health centers.
Effective as of July 2020, the Mexican Energy Regulatory Commission (Comisión Reguladora de Energía) (“CRE”) approved an increase to transmission fees payable by entities that generate energy from renewable sources or efficient cogeneration sources. While this increase applies directly to the energy producers of such projects, end-users, such as ourselves, may face increases in our costs for energy consumption from such energy producers. A number of legal recourses against this increase have been filed by such energy producers. As a result, the competent courts suspended the effects of such increased transmission fees until the legal proceedings are definitively resolved. We cannot assure you that these legal measures will have the desired effect or that this increase will not have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
In October 2020, the CRE approved resolution RES/1094/2020, which modifies the existing rules for the amendment or assignment of power generation permits. This resolution limits the incorporation of new consumption centers to self-supply schemes, which was previously done in order to receive electric power from clean renewable sources at competitive prices. We have filed a legal recourse against this resolution, which is pending resolution. If our legal recourse is unsuccessful, this resolution could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in Mexico.
34

We are aware that the CRE launched investigations against certain private power generators that could result in the cancellation of such generators’ power supply permits. In the event any of those proceedings affect us due to the revocation of power supply permits from our energy suppliers, we would consider pursuing any available legal recourses.
In March 2021, the Mexican government approved changes to the Mexican Electricity Law to, among other things, modify the order in which the energy of the National Electric System (Sistema Eléctrico Nacional) is dispatched; condition the granting of permits to conform with the planning criteria of the National Electric System; and allow the authorities to revoke energy self-supply permits, such as those granted to certain companies that supply us with electricity. Such changes were challenged by different market participants and are still pending resolution. We have filed a legal recourse against these amendments, which is pending resolution. If our legal recourse is unsuccessful, this resolution could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in Mexico.
In April 2021, the Mexican government amended the Federal Labor Law, the Mexican Federal Tax Code and other laws that regulate labor benefits to, among other things, prohibit the outsourcing of personnel except in certain circumstances such as specialized works or services that are not part of the core business of a company and that are provided by services providers registered with the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare. We took the applicable measures to be in compliance with these amendments.
In June 2021, the Colombian government issued Resolution 810 of 2021 which sets forth the nutritional and front labeling requirements for canned or packaged food. In accordance with such resolution, our portfolio is required to comply with applicable labeling guidelines by December 2022. We are currently implementing all measures necessary to comply with the new regulation within the required timeframe. We cannot assure you that this regulation will not have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in Colombia. This regulation was challenged by another market participant and is still pending resolution.
In September 2021, the Mexican President submitted a proposal to Congress to amend the Mexican Constitution seeking comprehensive changes to the Mexican electricity sector. If passed, this reform would result in the cancellation of power supply permits to the private sector and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) having absolute control over energy generation and supply in the country, among other changes to the sector. This proposed reform is still pending discussion and resolution in Congress. If the reform is approved, the changes to the electricity sector could result in an increase in our cost of electricity. These and other potential consequences resulting from the reform could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in Mexico.
Sustainability Initiatives
Consistent with our business strategy, we place sustainability at the heart of our organization and acknowledge we have a role to play in developing our sustainability initiatives to enhance our environmental stewardship and social responsibility toward our people, our communities, and the environment. We have aligned our actions with the sustainable development goals of our communities and value chain, supporting the development of our suppliers while also seeking to improve living conditions and reduce our environmental impact.
In terms of governance, we seek to raise our ethical standards and to implement leading best practices. During 2021 we agreed to establish an environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) Committee that began holding sessions in 2022. This committee is comprised by members of our senior leadership team, so as to ensure that all of the relevant areas of our business and all of the countries in which we operate are fully involved in the creation of ESG initiatives and decisions. Our objective is to continually reinforce our commitment to creating value in the social, environmental and corporate governance areas, while positively impacting the communities we serve. The ESG committee’s goal is to shape a sustainable organization that always reinforces its commitment to generate value in areas of social, environmental and corporate governance, as well as economic value in all of the communities where we are present. The ESG committee is responsible for: (i) guiding the strategy, (ii) public pledges, (iii) management and assignment of resources, (iv) monitoring and supervision and (v) risk mitigation.
We have an Environmental Management System (EMS) that includes environmental policies and procedures that intend to identify, address and minimize environmental risks, as well as to implement appropriate strategies for the use of clean and renewable energy, efficient use of water and waste management throughout the value chain of all of our operations. We have programs that seek to reduce energy use and diversify our portfolio of clean and renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the fight against climate change. In addition, we establish short-, medium-, and long-term goals and indicators for the use, management and confinement of energy, air emissions, water discharges, solid waste and disposal of hazardous materials. All of our bottling facilities are ISO14001 certified, 22 are Zero Waste certified and 18 of our bottling facilities are Clean Industry certified.
Our 2030 projects related to sustainable mobility foresee an increase in the number of commercial electric vehicles in our fleet and an increase in efficiency in fuel consumption over distance covered.
In our Mexican operations, we established a partnership with The Coca-Cola Company and Alpla, our supplier of plastic bottles in Mexico, to create Industria Mexicana de Reciclaje (IMER), a PET recycling facility located in Toluca, Mexico. In 2021, this facility recycled 19,252 tons of PET resin. In addition, in 2022, we, together with Alpla, started the construction of a recycling plant located in Tabasco, Mexico, Planta Nueva Ecología de Tabasco (PLANETA), which is expected to start operations during the first quarter of 2023. This new plant will operate with state-of-the-art technology to process up to 50,000 tons of post-consumption PET bottles per
35

year and to produce up to 35,000 tons of food grade recycled material, ready to be reused. We have also continued contributing funds to ECOCE, A.C., a nationwide collector of containers and packaging materials. In 2021, ECOCE collected 59.0% of the total PET resin waste in Mexico.
All of our bottling plants located in Mexico have received certain environmental certificates by federal and/or local authorities, which are annually renewed.
Our Costa Rican operations participate in a joint local recycling effort with The Coca-Cola Company at the recycling plant Misión Planeta, located in Alajuela, Costa Rica. This plant collects and recycles non-returnable plastic bottles, Tetrapak and cans. Additionally, our Costa Rican operations recycle, reuse and co-process 99.7% of their waste from its bottling plants, leverage certified suppliers and are in compliance with applicable legislation. Our bottling plants in Costa Rica are certified for ISO 50001. As part of our sustainable use of water, our Costa Rican operations participate in Agua para el Futuro, a strategic alliance whose goal is to “return” to the environment 100.0% of the water we use in our bottling plants, through the conservation and reforestation of key areas that replenish basins in the surrounding area of San Jose.
In Guatemala, our Guatemalan subsidiary and the FEMSA Foundation, participate in FUNCAGUA (Fundación para la conservación del agua de la región metropolitana de Guatemala), as founding partners. Several of this institution’s projects are related to sustainable water use. In addition to FUNCAGUA, we also participate in environmental protection efforts in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, with respect to the replenishment of water in the regions of Chimaltango and Guatemala.
All of our bottling plants in Central America are ISO 14001, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certified.
In Brazil, our bottling plant located in Jundiai has been recognized by the Brazilian authorities for its compliance with environmental regulations and for having standards well above those imposed by applicable law. The Itabirito and Maringá bottling plants have a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, which is a globally recognized certification of sustainability in business design. In addition, the bottling plants of Jundiai, Mogi das Cruzes, Campo Grande, Marilia, Maringa, Curitiba, Antonio Carlos, Porto Alegre, Itabirito and Bauru have been certified for ISO 9001; ISO 14001; ISO 45001 and FSSC 22000.
In Colombia, we are engaged in nationwide reforestation programs and campaigns for the collection and recycling of glass and plastic bottles, among other programs with positive environmental impacts. We have also obtained and maintained the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, FSSC 22000 and PAS 220 certifications for our bottling plants located in Medellin, Cali, Bogota, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga and La Calera, as recognition for the highest quality and food harmlessness in our production processes, which is evidence of our strict level of compliance with relevant Colombian regulations. Our bottling plant located in Tocancipa obtained the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED 2009) certification in April 2017, as well as the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000:2018, ISO/TS 22000-1, NTC 5830:2019, and FSSC 22000 certifications. Additionally, our bottling plants in Colombia received the Zero Waste Certification (Certificación de Sistemas Basura Cero), granted by Icontec and the organization Basura Cero Global.
Our bottling plants and operative units in Buenos Aires, Argentina are certified for ISO 14001:2004.
Our bottling plant in Montevideo, Uruguay is certified for ISO 14001:2015.
In June 2020, we received the approval from the Science Based Targets Initiative, or the SBTi, for our greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions reduction targets. SBTi is an international collaboration between the Carbon Disclosure Project, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute and the World Wide Fund for Nature. In 2019, we worked in collaboration with our value chain to develop a robust GHG emissions inventory and have defined the following goals, intended to be met by 2030:
•reduce absolute GHG emissions from our operations by 50% compared to the 2015 baseline;
•reduce absolute GHG emissions from our value chain, covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution by 20% compared to the 2015 baseline; and
•achieve 100% renewable electricity in our operations.
The targets we established for our operations are consistent with reductions required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming to well-below 2ºC. Our target for emissions from our value chain meets the SBTi’s criteria for ambitious value chain goals, meaning it is in line with current best practice.
During 2021, 85.0% of our total electric energy requirements for our manufacturing facilities were obtained from clean energy sources. Additionally, as part of our waste management strategies, in 2021, an average of 31.0% of our PET resin packaging was comprised of recycled materials. Furthermore, as part of our waste management strategy, we recycled 98.0% of the total post-industrial waste generated in our bottling facilities.
36

In September 2020, we issued US$705 million aggregate principal amount of 1.850% senior notes due 2032, or “green bonds”, the proceeds of which are being used to finance and refinance our eligible green projects, including investments and expenditures related to mitigation of climate change risks, efficient use of water resources and hydrological safety, and waste management and recycling of PET plastic bottles. As of December 31, 2021, we allocated US$350.1 million of green bond net proceeds to projects supporting climate action, water stewardship and a circular economy.
On September 23, 2021, we issued two series of certificados bursátiles in the Mexican local market that are classified as sustainability-linked bonds and require us to achieve certain key performance indicators, namely achieving a water use ratio of 1.36 by 2024 and 1.26 by 2026. If these indicators are not achieved and verified by an independent third party by the established dates, the interest rate on the bonds will increase by 25 basis points.

Bottler Agreements
Coca-Cola Bottler Agreements
Bottler agreements are the standard agreements that The Coca-Cola Company enters into with bottlers in each territory. Pursuant to our bottler agreements, we are authorized to manufacture, sell and distribute Coca-Cola trademark beverages within specific geographic areas, and we are required to purchase concentrate for all Coca-Cola trademark beverages in all of our territories from affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company and sweeteners and other raw materials from companies authorized by The Coca-Cola Company.
These bottler agreements also provide that we will purchase our entire requirement of concentrate for Coca-Cola trademark beverages at prices, terms of payment and on other terms and conditions of supply as determined from time to time by The Coca-Cola Company.
Concentrate prices for Coca-Cola trademark beverages are determined as a percentage of the weighted average retail price in local currency, net of applicable taxes. Although the price multipliers used to calculate the cost of concentrate and the currency of payment, among other terms, are set by The Coca-Cola Company, we set the price of products sold to customers at our discretion, subject to the applicability of price restraints imposed by authorities in certain territories. We have the exclusive right to distribute Coca-Cola trademark beverages for sale in our territories in authorized containers as approved under the bottler agreements and currently used by our company. These containers include various configurations of cans and returnable and non-returnable bottles made of glass, aluminum and plastic as well as fountain containers.
The bottler agreements include an acknowledgment by us that The Coca-Cola Company is the sole owner of the trademarks that identify the Coca-Cola trademark beverages and of the formulas with which The Coca-Cola Company’s concentrates are made. Subject to our exclusive right to distribute Coca-Cola trademark beverages in our territories, The Coca-Cola Company reserves the right to import and export Coca-Cola trademark beverages to and from each of our territories. Our bottler agreements do not contain restrictions on The Coca-Cola Company’s ability to set the price of concentrates and do not impose minimum marketing obligations on The Coca-Cola Company. The prices at which we purchase concentrate under the bottler agreements may vary materially from the prices we have historically paid. However, under our bylaws and the shareholders agreement among The Coca-Cola Company and certain of its subsidiaries and certain of FEMSA’s subsidiaries, an adverse action by The Coca-Cola Company under any of the bottler agreements may result in a suspension of certain voting rights of the directors appointed by The Coca-Cola Company. This provides us with limited protection against The Coca-Cola Company’s ability to raise concentrate prices to the extent that such increase is deemed detrimental to us pursuant to such shareholders agreement and our bylaws. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—The Shareholders Agreement.”
The Coca-Cola Company has the ability, at its sole discretion, to reformulate any of the Coca-Cola trademark beverages and to discontinue any of the Coca-Cola trademark beverages, subject to certain limitations, so long as all Coca-Cola trademark beverages are not discontinued. The Coca-Cola Company may also introduce new beverages in our territories in which case we have a right of first refusal with respect to the manufacturing, packaging, distribution and sale of such new beverages subject to the same obligations as then existing with respect to the Coca-Cola trademark beverages under the bottler agreements. The bottler agreements prohibit us from producing, bottling or handling beverages other than Coca-Cola trademark beverages, or other products or packages that would imitate, infringe upon, or cause confusion with the products, trade dress, containers or trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company, except with the consent of The Coca-Cola Company. The bottler agreements also prohibit us from acquiring or holding an interest in a party that engages in such restricted activities. The bottler agreements impose restrictions concerning the use of certain trademarks, authorized containers, packaging and labeling of The Coca-Cola Company so as to conform to policies approved by The Coca-Cola Company. In particular, we are obligated to:
•maintain plant and equipment, staff and distribution facilities capable of manufacturing, packaging and distributing the Coca-Cola trademark beverages in authorized containers in accordance with our bottler agreements and in sufficient quantities to satisfy fully the demand in our territories;
•undertake adequate quality control measures established by The Coca-Cola Company;
•develop, stimulate and satisfy fully the demand for Coca-Cola trademark beverages using all approved means, which includes the investment in advertising and marketing plans;
•maintain a sound financial capacity as may be reasonably necessary to assure performance by us and our subsidiaries of our obligations to The Coca-Cola Company; and
•submit annually to The Coca-Cola Company our marketing, management, promotional and advertising plans for the ensuing year.
38

The Coca-Cola Company contributed a significant portion of our total marketing expenses in our territories during 2021 and has reiterated its intention to continue providing such support as part of our cooperation framework. Although we believe that The Coca-Cola Company will continue to provide funds for advertising and marketing, it is not obligated to do so. Consequently, future levels of advertising and marketing support provided by The Coca-Cola Company may vary materially from the levels historically provided. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—The Shareholders Agreement” and “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—Cooperation Framework with The Coca-Cola Company.”
We have separate bottler agreements with The Coca-Cola Company for each of the territories where we operate, on substantially the same terms and conditions. These bottler agreements are automatically renewable for ten-year terms, subject to the right of either party to give prior notice that it does not wish to renew a specific agreement.
As of the date of this report we had:
•four bottler agreements in Mexico: (i) the agreement for the Valley of Mexico territory, which is up for renewal in June 2023, (ii) the agreement for the southeast territory, which is up for renewal in June 2023, (iii) the agreement for the Bajio territory, which is up for renewal in May 2025, and (iv) the agreement for the Golfo territory, which is up for renewal in May 2025;
•two bottler agreements in Brazil, which are up for renewal in October 2022 (corresponding to our recent acquisition of CVI) and October 2027, respectively;
•three bottler agreements in Guatemala, one of which is up for renewal in March 2025 and two in April 2028;
•one bottler agreement in Argentina, which is up for renewal in September 2024;
•two bottler agreements in Colombia, which are up for renewal in June 2024;
•one bottler agreement in Costa Rica, which is up for renewal in September 2027;
•one bottler agreement in Nicaragua, which is up for renewal in May 2026;
•one bottler agreement in Panama, which is up for renewal in November 2024; and
•one bottler agreement in Uruguay, which is up for renewal in June 2028.
As of the date of this report, our investee KOF Venezuela had one bottler agreement, which is up for renewal in August 2026.
The bottler agreements are subject to termination by The Coca-Cola Company in the event of default by us. The default provisions include limitations on the change in ownership or control of our company and the assignment or transfer of the bottler agreements and are designed to preclude any person not acceptable to The Coca-Cola Company from obtaining an assignment of a bottler agreement or from acquiring our company independently of other rights set forth in the shareholders’ agreement. These provisions may prevent changes in our principal shareholders, including mergers or acquisitions involving sales or dispositions of our capital stock, which will involve an effective change of control, without the consent of The Coca-Cola Company. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—The Shareholders Agreement.”
We have also entered into tradename license agreements with The Coca-Cola Company pursuant to which we are authorized to use certain trademark names of The Coca-Cola Company with our corporate name. These agreements have a ten-year term and are automatically renewed for ten-year terms, but are terminated if we cease to manufacture, market, sell and distribute Coca-Cola trademark products pursuant to the bottler agreements or if the shareholders agreement is terminated. The Coca-Cola Company also has the right to terminate any license agreement if we use its trademark names in a manner not authorized by the bottler agreements.

Description of Property, Plant and Equipment
As of December 31, 2021, we owned 49 bottling plants. By country, as of such date, we had 17 bottling plants and 5 secondary facilities for a total of 22 production facilities in Mexico, 7 in Central America, 7 in Colombia, 10 in Brazil, 2 in Argentina, and 1 in Uruguay.
As of December 31, 2021, we operated 260 distribution centers, approximately 50.0% of which were in our Mexican territories. As of such date, we owned 79.0% of these distribution centers and leased the remainder. See “—The Company—Product Sales and Distribution.”
As part of the acquisition of CVI, which closed in January 2022, we acquired one bottling plant and three distribution centers that serve more than 13,000 points of sale and more than 2.8 million consumers.
We maintain an “all-risk” insurance policy covering our properties (owned and leased), machinery and equipment and inventories, as well as losses due to business interruptions. The policy covers damages caused by natural disaster, including hurricane, hail, earthquake and damages caused by human acts, including explosion, fire, vandalism and riot; we also maintain a freight transport insurance policy that covers damages to goods in transit. In addition, we maintain a liability insurance policy that covers product liability. We purchase our insurance coverage through an insurance broker. We believe that our coverage is consistent with the coverage maintained by similar companies in our industry.
Certain factors may affect utilization levels of our bottling plants, such as seasonality of demand for our products, supply chain planning due to different geographies and different packaging capacities of our production lines. In particular, seasonality and peak months of demand for our products may lead us to have excess capacity during certain months in certain countries.
The table below summarizes installed capacity, average annual utilization and utilization during peak month of our bottling plants by country:

Bottling Plants Summary As of December 31, 2021 |

Item 4.A. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
General
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto. Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
Average Price Per Unit Case. We use average price per unit case to analyze average pricing trends in the different territories where we operate. We calculate average price per unit case by dividing net sales by total sales volume. Sales of beer in Brazil, which are not included in our sales volumes, are excluded from this calculation.
Effects of Changes in Economic Conditions. Our results are affected by changes in economic conditions in Mexico, Brazil and in the other countries where we operate. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 75.9% of our total revenues were attributable to Mexico and Brazil. Some of these economies continue to be influenced by the U.S. economy, and therefore, deterioration in economic conditions in the U.S. economy may affect these economies. Deterioration or prolonged periods of weak economic conditions in the countries where we conduct operations may have, and in the past have had, a negative effect on our company and a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition. Our business may also be significantly affected by the interest rates, inflation rates and exchange rates of the local currencies of the countries where we operate. Decreases in growth rates, periods of negative growth and/or increases in inflation or interest rates may result in lower demand for our products, lower real pricing of our products or a shift to lower margin products. In addition, an increase in interest rates would increase the cost to us of variable rate funding, which would have an adverse effect on our financial position.
COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected global and regional economic conditions. In response, during 2020 and 2021 we adopted measures at our offices and facilities to ensure continued operations and to keep our teams and our customers healthy and safe. As part of those measures, we have created a comprehensive management framework designed to guide our mitigation actions across five key areas: collaborators, clients, consumers, community and cash flow. These initiatives, which continue in effect as of the date of this report, include:
•Collaborators: Ensuring employees’ safety and wellbeing is of utmost importance. Measures include implementing reinforced health, sanitation and hygiene protocols across our facilities and providing our employees with additional protective equipment such as masks, gloves and sanitizers.
•Clients: We are helping our clients to remain open or reopen for business in a safe way. Among our initiatives, we have introduced protocols and routines for a safe visit to our clients while supporting them with tools such as gloves, masks and protective screens to be used at service counters.
42

•Consumers: Consumers are one of our top priorities. Accordingly, we have leveraged our portfolio to provide affordable presentations across key markets and channels, and have reinforced our presence in digital and direct-to-home channels.
•Community: As part of our social response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have allowed some of our facilities to be used as vaccination centers and have donated beverages to health centers, transported medical supplies, contributed to the construction of alternative health centers, and acquired medical equipment, among other community relief initiatives.
•Cash Flow: Consistent with our financial discipline approach, we have implemented measures to further strengthen our balance sheet and protect our cash flow by prioritizing or rationalizing expenses.
Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused, and may continue to cause, temporary closures and capacity restrictions at points of sale causing fluctuations in the volumes and mix of the products we sell. As a result, we have adopted a number of initiatives to reduce costs and generate savings and efficiencies in the territories where we operate.
In 2020 and 2021, despite the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a resilient traditional trade channel (sales made at small retail stores to consumers), which is our most important sales channel. In addition, our sales through digital sales channels, such as food aggregators, digital platforms and telemarketing, increased as the imposition of measures and regulations aimed at containing the COVID-19 pandemic have tilted consumer preferences towards these channels. We continue to reinforce our presence in digital sales channels in an effort to address the growing demand from our business partners through such sales channels. This reinforcement is aligned with our overall digitization and omnichannel strategies.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused significant volatility in the financial markets and disruptions to supply chains across the world, which increased the cost of some of our raw materials and therefore has negatively affected and may continue to adversely affect our financial results. Although unprecedented efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic have been taken, we cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, and whether there will be further outbreaks of new variants in the future in any of the markets where we operate. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the effectiveness of vaccines and treatment developments and actions taken in the countries where we operate, or that may be taken in the future, by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
Treatment of Argentina as a Hyperinflationary Economy. Argentina’s economy satisfies the conditions to be treated as a hyperinflationary economy based on various economic factors, including that Argentina’s cumulative inflation over the three-year period prior to December 31, 2021 exceeded 100%, according to available indexes in the country. We adjusted the financial information of our Argentine operations to recognize inflationary effects and functional currency was converted to Mexican pesos for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 using the exchange rates at the end of such periods. See Note 3.4 to our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Developments Relating to Our Indebtedness.
On September 23, 2021, we issued (i) Ps. 6,965 million aggregate principal amount of 7-year fixed rate certificados bursátiles bearing an annual interest rate of 7.36% and due September 2028 and (ii) Ps. 2,435 million aggregate principal amount of 5-year floating rate certificados bursátiles bearing an annual interest rate equal to 28-day TIIE plus 0.05% and due September 2026, in the Mexican local market. These certificados bursátiles are classified as sustainability-linked bonds and require us to achieve certain key performance indicators, namely achieving a water use ratio of 1.36 by 2024 and 1.26 by 2026. If these indicators are not achieved and verified by an independent third party by the established dates, the interest rate on the bonds will increase by 25 basis points to 7.61% and TIIE plus 0.30%, respectively. The proceeds of the offering of these certificados bursátiles were used to prepay bank loans in Mexico with maturities in 2025 and 2026 and therefore did not represent additional debt to us.
Other Recent Developments
In January 2022, our Brazilian subsidiary acquired CVI a Brazilian bottler of Coca-Cola trademark products with operations in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.
New Accounting Pronouncements

The comparability of our financial and operating performance in 2021 as compared to 2020 was affected by the following factors: (1) translation effects from fluctuations in exchange rates; and (2) our results in Argentina, whose economy satisfied the conditions to be considered a hyperinflationary economy. For the convenience of the reader, we have included a discussion of the financial information below on a comparable basis, excluding the translation effects from fluctuations in exchange rates. To translate the full-year results of Argentina for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we used the exchange rate at December 31, 2021 of 102.72 Argentine pesos per U.S. dollar and the exchange rate at December 31, 2020 of 84.15 Argentine pesos per U.S. dollar. The depreciation of the exchange rate of the Argentine peso at December 31, 2021, as compared to the exchange rate at December 31, 2020, was 22.1%. In addition, the average depreciation of currencies used in our main operations relative to the U.S. dollar in 2021, as compared to 2020, were 4.6% for the Brazilian real and 1.3% for the Colombian peso, and an appreciation of 5.6% for the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar.
Total Revenues. Our consolidated total revenues increased by 6.1% to Ps.194,804 million in 2021 as compared to 2020, mainly as a result of our pricing initiatives, coupled with favorable price-mix effects and volume growth. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects from some of our operating currencies into Mexican pesos and a decline in beer revenues related to the partial transition of the beer portfolio in Brazil. In addition, this figure includes other operating revenues due to a favorable determination from the Brazilian tax authorities, which allowed recognition of deferred tax credit in Brazil for Ps. 254 million in 2021 as compared to Ps. 1,359 million registered during the same period of 2020. See Note 23.2.1 to our consolidated financial statements. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have increased by 11.1% in 2021 as compared to 2020.
Total sales volume increased by 5.3% to 3,457.9 million unit cases in 2021 as compared to 2020, driven by volume growth across all of our operations resulting from our solid execution, coupled with gradual recoveries and increases in mobility.
•In 2021, sales volume of our sparkling beverage portfolio increased by 4.2%, sales volume of our colas portfolio increased by 3.1%, and sales volume of our flavored sparkling beverage portfolio increased by 8.9%, in each case as compared to 2020.
•Sales volume of our still beverage portfolio increased by 18.9% in 2021 as compared to 2020.
•Sales volume of our bottled water category, excluding bulk water, increased by 18.3% in 2021 as compared to 2020.
•Sales volume of our bulk water category decreased by 1.3% in 2021 as compared to 2020.
Consolidated average price per unit case increased by 7.4% to Ps.53.0 in 2021, as compared to Ps. 50.6 in 2020, mainly as a result of favorable price-mix effects and price increases aligned with or above inflation. This was partially offset by the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of all of our operating currencies relative to the Mexican peso. On a comparable basis, average
45

price per unit case would have increased 9.0% in 2021 as compared to 2020, driven by our revenue management and pricing initiatives.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by 7.0% to Ps.88,598 million in 2021 as compared to 2020, with a gross margin increase of 40 basis points as compared to 2020 to reach 45.5% in 2021. This gross margin increase was mainly driven by favorable price-mix effects, our raw material hedging strategies, and the positive effect of the resumption of tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone in Brazil, partially offset by higher raw material prices, higher concentrate costs in Mexico and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. On a comparable basis, our gross profit would have increased by 11.3% in 2021 as compared to 2020.
The components of cost of goods sold include raw materials (principally concentrate, sweeteners and packaging materials), depreciation costs attributable to our production facilities, wages and other labor costs associated with labor force employed at our production facilities and certain overhead costs. Concentrate prices are determined as a percentage of the retail price of our products in local currency, net of applicable taxes. Packaging materials, mainly PET resin and aluminum, and HFCS, used as a sweetener in some countries, are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Administrative and Selling Expenses. Our administrative and selling expenses increased by 7.6% to Ps.60,720 million in 2021 as compared to 2020. Our administrative and selling expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 50 basis points to 31.2% in 2021 as compared to 2020, mainly as a result of the gradual normalization to pre-pandemic levels of in labor, maintenance and marketing expenses. In 2021, we continued investing across our territories to support marketplace execution, increase our cooler coverage, and bolster our returnable presentation base.
Other Expenses Net. We recorded other expenses net of Ps.807 million in 2021 as compared to Ps.3,611 million in 2020, which decrease was mainly as a result of certain extraordinary other operating expenses related to impairments in Estrella Azul in Panama and in Leão Alimentos, our non-carbonated beverage associate in Brazil during 2020. For more information, see Notes 8 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive Financing Result. The term “comprehensive financing result” refers to the combined financial effects of net interest expenses, net financial foreign exchange gains or losses, net gains or losses on the monetary position of hyperinflationary countries where we operate and market value gain (loss) on financial instruments. Net financial foreign exchange gains or losses represent the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on financial assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than local currencies, and certain gains or losses resulting from derivative financial instruments. A financial foreign exchange loss arises if a liability is denominated in a foreign currency that appreciates relative to the local currency between the date the liability is incurred and the date it is repaid, as the appreciation of the foreign currency results in an increase in the amount of local currency, which must be exchanged to repay the specified amount of the foreign currency liability.
Comprehensive financing result in 2021 recorded an expense of Ps. 4,219 million as compared to an expense of Ps.6,679 million in 2020. This 36.8% decrease was mainly driven by a one-time interest expense related to the repurchase and redemption in full of our 3.875% senior notes due 2023, recorded during 2020. In addition, in 2021 we recorded an increase in our foreign exchange gain, a gain in monetary position for Argentina and a gain in the market value of financial instruments.
Income Taxes. In 2021, our effective income tax rate decreased to 28.9%, as compared to our effective income tax rate of 33.8% in 2020, mainly as a result of a favorable deferred tax credit related to a no taxation on financial effects of recovered tax credits in Brazil recognized in 2021, deferred tax adjustments in Mexico and the impairment of Estrella Azul that were recognized during 2020. For more information, see Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements.
Share in the Profit of Equity Accounted Investees, Net of Taxes. In 2021, we recorded a gain of Ps.88 million in the share in the profit of equity accounted investees, net of taxes, mainly due to the results of Jugos del Valle, our associate in Mexico, as compared to a loss of Ps. 281 million registered during the same period of the previous year.
Net Income (Equity holders of the parent). We reported a net controlling interest income of Ps.15,708 million in 2021, as compared to Ps.10,307 million in 2020. This 52.4% increase was mainly driven by solid operating results coupled with a decrease in our comprehensive financial result.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2019
Consolidated Results
The comparability of our financial and operating performance in 2020 as compared to 2019 was affected by the following factors: (1) translation effects from fluctuations in exchange rates; and (2) our results in Argentina, whose economy satisfied the conditions to be considered a hyperinflationary economy. For the convenience of the reader, we have included a discussion of the financial information below on a comparable basis, not giving effect to these factors. To translate the full-year results of Argentina for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we used the exchange rate at December 31, 2020 of 84.15 Argentine pesos per U.S. dollar and the exchange rate at December 31, 2019 of 59.89 Argentine pesos per U.S. dollar, respectively. The depreciation of the exchange rate of the Argentine peso at December 31, 2020, as compared to the exchange rate at December 31, 2019, was 40.5%. In addition, the average depreciation of currencies used in our main operations relative to the U.S. dollar in 2020, as compared to 2019, were: 11.6% for the Mexican peso, 30.7% for the Brazilian real, and 12.6% for the Colombian peso.
Total Revenues. Our consolidated total revenues decreased by 5.6% to Ps.183,615 million in 2020 as compared to 2019, mainly as a result of unfavorable price-mix effects due to the COVID-19 pandemic and currency translation effects resulting from the depreciation of all of our operating currencies in South America against the Mexican peso, particularly the Brazilian real, which had a 14.5% unfavorable translation effect. These effects were partially offset by favorable pricing and revenue management initiatives. Total revenues include other operating revenues related to entitlements to reclaim Ps.1,359 million in tax payments in Brazil in 2020. See Note 23.2.1 to our consolidated financial statements. On a comparable basis, total revenues would have decreased by 1.0% in 2020 as compared to 2019.
Total sales volume decreased by 2.5% to 3,284.4 million unit cases in 2020 as compared to 2019, mainly as a result of social distancing and other measures adopted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an adverse effect on some of our points-of-sale.
•In 2020, sales volume of our sparkling beverage portfolio decreased by 1.1%, sales volume of our colas portfolio decreased by 0.2%, and sales volume of our flavored sparkling beverage portfolio decreased by 5.0%, in each case as compared to 2019.
•Sales volume of our still beverage portfolio decreased by 5.0% in 2020 as compared to 2019.
•Sales volume of our bottled water category, excluding bulk water, decreased by 22.6% in 2020 as compared to 2019.
•Sales volume of our bulk water category increased by 0.6% in 2020 as compared to 2019.
Consolidated average price per unit case decreased by 3.5% to Ps.50.63 in 2020, as compared to Ps. 52.46 in 2019, mainly as a result of unfavorable price-mix effects and the negative translation effect resulting from the depreciation of most of our operating currencies relative to the Mexican peso. This was partially offset by price increases aligned with or above inflation. On a comparable basis, average price per unit case would have remained flat in 2020 as compared to 2019, driven by our revenue management and pricing initiatives.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit decreased by 5.4% to Ps.82,811 million in 2020 as compared to 2019; with a gross margin increase of 10 basis points as compared to 2019 to reach 45.1% in 2020. This gross margin increase was mainly driven by our pricing initiatives, together with lower PET resin costs and stable sweetener prices in most of our operations, which were partially offset by higher concentrate costs in Mexico, higher concentrate costs in Brazil due to the reduction of tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone, coupled with our decision to suspend such tax credits, and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of most of our operating currencies as applied to U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. On a comparable basis, our gross profit would have decreased by 1.3% in 2020 as compared to 2019.
The components of cost of goods sold include raw materials (principally concentrate, sweeteners and packaging materials), depreciation costs attributable to our production facilities, wages and other labor costs associated with labor force employed at our production facilities and certain overhead costs. Concentrate prices are determined as a percentage of the retail price of our products in local currency, net of applicable taxes. Packaging materials, mainly PET resin and aluminum, and HFCS, used as a sweetener in some countries, are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Administrative and Selling Expenses. Our administrative and selling expenses decreased by 6.8% to Ps.56,444 million in 2020 as compared to 2019. Our administrative and selling expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 40 basis points to 30.7% in 2020 as compared to 2019, mainly as a result of operating expense efficiencies in labor, maintenance and marketing. In 2020, we continued investing across our territories to support marketplace execution, increase our cooler coverage, and bolster our returnable presentation base.
49

Other Expenses Net. We recorded other expenses net of Ps.3,611 million in 2020 as compared to Ps.2,490 million in 2019, which increase was mainly as a result of certain extraordinary other operating expenses related to impairments in Estrella Azul in Panama and in Leão Alimentos, our non-carbonated beverage associate in Brazil, which were partially offset by the implementation of our efficiency program to create a leaner and more agile organization. For more information, see Notes 8 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive Financing Result. The term “comprehensive financing result” refers to the combined financial effects of net interest expenses, net financial foreign exchange gains or losses, net gains or losses on the monetary position of hyperinflationary countries where we operate and market value gain (loss) on financial instruments. Net financial foreign exchange gains or losses represent the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on financial assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than local currencies, and certain gains or losses resulting from derivative financial instruments. A financial foreign exchange loss arises if a liability is denominated in a foreign currency that appreciates relative to the local currency between the date the liability is incurred and the date it is repaid, as the appreciation of the foreign currency results in an increase in the amount of local currency, which must be exchanged to repay the specified amount of the foreign currency liability.
Comprehensive financing result in 2020 recorded an expense of Ps.6,679 million as compared to an expense of Ps.6,071 million in 2019. This 10.0% increase was mainly driven by a one-time interest expense related to the repurchase and redemption in full of our 3.875% senior notes due 2023. In addition, we incurred short-term financing as a preventive measure to reinforce our cash position. These effects were partially offset by debt prepayments.
Income Taxes. In 2020, our effective income tax rate increased to 33.8%, as compared to our effective income tax rate of 30.7% in 2019, mainly as a result of the Estrella Azul impairment recognized during the period and a net effect of deferred tax assets driven by tax losses and tax credits. For more information, see Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements.
Share in the (Loss) Profit of Equity Accounted Investees, Net of Taxes. In 2020, we recorded a loss of Ps.281 million in the share in the loss of equity accounted investees, net of taxes, mainly due to the results of Leão Alimentos, our associate in Brazil, and Estrella Azul in Panama.
Net Income (Equity holders of the parent). We reported a net controlling interest income of Ps.10,307 million in 2020, as compared to Ps.12,101 million in 2019. This 14.8% decrease was mainly driven by lock-downs and social distancing measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with impairments on equity method investees recognized during the year, which were partially offset by our cost saving, revenue management and pricing initiatives.
Results by Consolidated Reporting Segment Mexico and Central America
Total Revenues. Total revenues in our Mexico and Central America consolidated reporting segment decreased by 2.3% to Ps.106,783 million in 2020 as compared to 2019, mainly as a result of a volume decline in Mexico coupled with unfavorable price-mix effects across our markets.
Total sales volume in our Mexico and Central America consolidated reporting segment decreased by 4.0% to 1,991.6 million unit cases in 2020 as compared to 2019, as a result of mobility restrictions and social distancing measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit margin increased mainly as a result of our pricing initiatives, cost efficiencies and lower PET costs, coupled with our raw material and currency hedging strategies. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable price-mix effects, higher concentrate costs in Mexico and the depreciation in the average exchange rate of most of our operating currencies as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs.
Administrative and Selling Expenses. Administrative and selling expenses as a percentage of total revenues in this consolidated reporting segment decreased by 50 basis points to 32.4% in 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.

Gross Profit. Gross profit in this consolidated reporting segment amounted to Ps.29,905 million, a decrease of 14.9% in 2020 as compared to 2019, with a 230 basis point margin contraction to 38.9%. This decrease in gross profit was mainly driven by an unfavorable price-mix effect and the depreciation of the average exchange rate of all of our operating currencies in the consolidated reporting segment as applied to our U.S. dollar-denominated raw material costs. These factors were partially offset by lower PET costs and our revenue management initiatives.
Administrative and Selling Expenses. Administrative and selling expenses as a percentage of total revenues in this consolidated reporting segment decreased by 50 basis points to 28.4% in 2020 as compared to 2019 driven mainly by operating expense efficiencies in Brazil. Administrative and selling expenses, in absolute terms, decreased by 11.5% in 2020 as compared to 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. The principal source of our liquidity is cash generated from operations. A significant portion of our sales are on a cash basis with the remainder on a short-term credit basis. We have traditionally been able to rely on cash generated from operations to fund our working capital requirements and our capital expenditures. Our working capital benefits from the fact that most of our sales are made on a cash basis, while we generally pay our suppliers on credit. Historically, we have used a combination of borrowings from Mexican and international banks and bond issuances in the Mexican and international capital markets. Our major cash requirements are obligations to support our ongoing operations and contractual obligations with Mexican and international banks for borrowings and bond issuances in the Mexican and international capital markets, derivative agreements and lease agreements.
Our total indebtedness was Ps.85,782 million as of December 31, 2021, as compared to Ps.87,478 million as of December 31, 2020. Short-term debt and long-term debt were Ps.2,453 million and Ps.83,329 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021, as compared to Ps.5,017 million and Ps.82,461 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. Total indebtedness decreased Ps.1,695 million in 2021, with respect to outflows compared to year-end 2020. As of December 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were Ps.47,248 million, as compared to Ps. 43,497 million as of December 31, 2020. We had cash outflows in 2021 mainly resulting from repayment of debt and dividend payments, which were more than offset by generation of cash from operating activities. As of December 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were comprised of 68.3% U.S. dollars, 16.9% Mexican pesos, 12.0% Brazilian reais, 1.9% Colombian pesos, 0.5% Argentine pesos and 0.4% other legal currencies. We believe that these funds, in addition to the cash generated by our operations, are sufficient to meet our operating requirements.
Future currency devaluations, the imposition of exchange controls in any of the countries where we have operations and the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on our financial position and liquidity.
As part of our financing policy, we expect to continue to finance our liquidity needs mainly with cash flows from our operating activities. Nonetheless, as a result of regulations in certain countries where we operate, it may not be beneficial or practicable for us to remit cash generated in local operations to fund cash requirements in other countries. Exchange controls may also increase the real price of remitting cash to fund debt requirements in other countries. In the event that cash in these countries is not sufficient to fund future working capital requirements and capital expenditures, we may decide, or be required, to fund cash requirements in these countries through local borrowings rather than remitting funds from another country. In the future we may finance our working capital and capital expenditure needs with short-term debt or other borrowings.
52

We continuously evaluate opportunities to pursue acquisitions or engage in strategic transactions. We would expect to finance any significant future transactions with a combination of any of cash, long-term indebtedness and the issuance of shares of our company.
Our financing, treasury and derivatives policies provide that the planning and finance committee of our board of directors is responsible for determining the company’s overall financial strategy, including the dividends policy, investments of our funds, cash flow and working capital strategies, mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity issuances, repurchases of stock, financial derivative instruments strategies (only for hedging purposes), purchase and lease of assets and indebtedness of the company, among others; which is ultimately approved by our board of directors and implemented by our corporate finance department.
Sources and Uses of Cash. The following table summarizes the sources and uses of cash for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, from our consolidated statements of changes in cash flows:

On September 23, 2021, we issued (i) Ps. 6,965 million aggregate principal amount of 7-year fixed rate certificados bursátiles bearing an annual interest rate of 7.36% and due September 2028, and (ii) Ps. 2,435 million aggregate principal amount of 5-year floating rate certificados bursátiles bearing an annual interest rate equal to 28-day TIIE plus 0.05% and due September 2026, in the Mexican local market. These certificados bursátiles are classified as sustainability-linked bonds and require us to achieve certain key performance indicators, namely achieving a water use ratio of 1.36 by 2024 and 1.26 by 2026. If these indicators are not achieved and verified by an independent third party by the established dates, the interest rate on the bonds will increase by 25 basis points to 7.61% and TIIE plus 0.30%, respectively. These series of certificados bursátiles are guaranteed by the Guarantors.
As of the date of this annual report, we had the following certificados bursátiles outstanding in the Mexican securities market:

Our certificados bursátiles contain reporting obligations pursuant to which we must furnish to the bondholders consolidated audited annual financial reports and consolidated quarterly financial reports.
U.S. Dollar-Denominated Senior Notes
Guarantees for the U.S. Dollar-Denominated Senior Notes
The Guarantors have fully, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to guarantee the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, additional interest and all other amounts with respect to our senior notes.
With respect to each Guarantor, its guarantee of our senior notes will be the unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of such Guarantor. As a result, the guarantee of each such Guarantor will not be secured by any of the assets or properties of such Guarantor and will be effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future secured obligations of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. In the event of dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, concurso mercantil, bankruptcy, quiebra or other similar proceeding by or against a Guarantor, the guarantee of such Guarantor would rank equal in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Guarantor, and junior to certain obligations given preference under applicable law, including tax, labor and social security obligations. Moreover, in such a case, the Guarantors’ guarantees could be challenged under Mexican law on fraudulent conveyance grounds and declared void based upon the Guarantor being deemed not to have received fair consideration in exchange for such guarantee. A challenge of a Guarantor’s obligations under a guarantee on fraudulent conveyance grounds could focus on the benefits, if any, realized by the Guarantors as a result of the issuance of our senior notes. To the extent a guarantee is voided as a fraudulent conveyance or held unenforceable for any other reason, the holders of our senior notes would not have any claim against that Guarantor and would be creditors solely of us and the Guarantors whose obligations under the guarantees were not held unenforceable.
Our senior notes do not restrict our Guarantor’s ability or the ability of our Guarantors’ subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness in the future.

•we had, on a consolidated basis, Ps.85,782 million of unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding, none of which was secured indebtedness,

On January 21, 2014, we issued US$200 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes under this series. These notes are guaranteed by the Guarantors.

These notes are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The indenture governing these notes imposes certain conditions upon a consolidation or merger by us and restricts the incurrence of liens and the entering into sale and leaseback transactions by us and our significant subsidiaries.
For more information about our 2.750% senior notes due 2030 and our 1.850% senior notes due 2032, see Exhibit 2.13—Description of Securities Registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Bank Loans
In 2021, we prepaid bank loans in Mexican pesos for an aggregate amount of Ps. 9,400 million. These bank loans were paid with the proceeds of the offering of the sustainability-linked bonds in Mexico.
As of December 31, 2021, we had a number of bank loans in Brazilian reais, Argentine pesos and Uruguayan pesos for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.1,929 million.
We are in compliance with all of the restrictive covenants in our debt instruments as of the date of this annual report.
Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to tax, labor and other legal proceedings. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental actions. We may have losses related to such tax, labor and other legal proceedings. We periodically assess the probability of loss for such contingencies and accrue a provision and/or disclose the relevant circumstances, as appropriate. If the potential loss of any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a provision for the estimated loss. See Note 24 to our consolidated financial statements. We use outside legal counsel for certain complex legal proceedings. The following table displays the nature and amount of the loss contingencies recorded as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

| As of December 31, 2021 | As of December 31,2020
| (in millions of Mexican pesos) | (in millions of Mexican pesos)
Tax | Ps. 2,066 | Ps. 2,540
Labor | 1,472 | 1,681
Legal | 612 | 879
Total | Ps. 4,150 | Ps. 5,100

As is customary in Brazil, we have been required by the relevant authorities to collateralize tax contingencies currently in litigation amounting to Ps.10,721 million, Ps7,342 million, and Ps.10,471 million as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, by pledging fixed assets, or providing bank guarantees.
In connection with our acquisitions, sellers normally agree to indemnify us against certain contingencies that may arise as a result of the management of the businesses prior to the acquisition, subject to survival provisions and other limitations.

Capital Expenditures
The following table sets forth our capital expenditures, including investment in property, plant and equipment, deferred charges and other investments for the periods indicated on a consolidated basis and by consolidated reporting segment:

| Years Ended December 31,
| 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
| (in millions of Mexican pesos)
Mexico and Central America(1) | 9,800 |  | 6,764 |  | 6,677
South America(2) | 4,064 |  | 3,590 |  | 4,788
Capital expenditures, net | 13,865 |  | 10,354 |  | 11,465

(1) Includes Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
(2) Includes Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
In 2021, 2020 and 2019, we focused our capital expenditures on investments in (i) increasing production capacity; (ii) placing coolers with retailers; (iii) returnable bottles and cases; (iv) improving the efficiency of our distribution infrastructure; and (v) information technology.
We have budgeted capital expenditures in an amount ranging between 7.0% and 8.0% of total revenues for 2022, which amount will primarily focus on strengthening our infrastructure, especially our returnable bottles and cases, investments in information technology and investments in assets that increase our presence in the market. As is customary, this amount will depend on market and other conditions, including the development of the COVID-19 pandemic across our territories.
We estimate that of our projected capital expenditures for 2022, approximately 38.6% will be for our Mexican territories and the remaining will be for our non-Mexican territories. We believe that internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet our budgeted capital expenditure for 2022.
Historically, The Coca-Cola Company has contributed resources in addition to our own capital expenditures. We generally use these contributions for initiatives that promote volume growth of Coca-Cola trademark beverages, including the placement of coolers with retailers. Such contributions may result in a reduction in our selling expenses line. Contributions by The Coca-Cola Company are made on a discretionary basis. Although we believe that The Coca-Cola Company will make additional contributions in the future to assist our capital expenditure program based on past practice and the benefits to The Coca-Cola Company as owner of the Coca-Cola brands from investments that support the strength of the brands in our territories, we can give no assurance that any such contributions will be made.
Hedging Activities
We have entered and continue to enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to market risks related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity price risk. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
The following table provides a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments as of December 31, 2021. The fair market value is estimated using market prices that would apply to terminate the contracts at the end of the period and are confirmed by external sources, which generally are also our counterparties to the relevant contracts.

Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees
Directors
Management of our business is vested in our board of directors and in our chief executive officer.

Diversity and Inclusion on the Board of Directors and Executive Officers
Our board of directors is comprised of 16 board members and eight alternates, 87.5% of which are men and 12.5% of which are women. Of our executive officers, 80.0% are men and 20.0% are women.
We have a corporate human resources policy that fosters inclusion, diversity, equal opportunities and non-discrimination, including gender distinction. This policy was approved by our board of directors and all of our employees are required to comply with it. Our human resources officer, Karina Paola Awad Pérez, is responsible for enforcing such policy.
Compensation of Directors and Officers
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the aggregate compensation of all of our executive officers paid or accrued for services in all capacities was Ps. 352.3 million. The aggregate compensation amount includes Ps. 215.8 million of cash bonus awards and bonuses paid to certain of our executive officers pursuant to our incentive plan for stock purchases. See “—Bonus Program.”
The aggregate compensation for directors during 2021 was Ps.20.5 million. For each meeting attended in 2021, we paid US$13,000 to each director with foreign residence and nationality and US$9,000 to all other directors.
We paid US$5,000 to each of the members of the Audit, Finance and Planning and the Corporate Practices Committees per each meeting attended, and we paid US$6,500 to the chairman of the Audit Committee per meeting attended.
Our executive officers and senior executives participate in our benefit plans in the same terms as our other employees. Members of our board of directors do not participate in our benefit plans. As of December 31, 2021, amounts accrued for all employees under our pension and retirement plans were Ps.3,063 million, of which Ps.1,211 million are already funded.
Bonus Program
Cash-based payment bonus plan. This bonus plan is part of our short-term incentive plan for the benefit of all our executives, including executive officers and senior management. The program is based on a combination of global and individual key performance indicators established at the beginning of the year for each eligible participant in accordance with their level of responsibility. Currently, as instructed by the Corporate Practices Committee, fifty percent of the annual bonus is based on our company’s economic profit and the remaining fifty percent is based on a combination of individual goals, which include completion of certain special projects, critical success factors, and assessment of individual behaviors based on certain metrics.
The incentive plan target is expressed in months of salary and the final amount payable is computed based on a percentage of compliance with the goals established every year. The bonuses are recorded as a part of the income statement and are paid in cash the following year.
Share-based payment bonus plan. This stock bonus plan is part of our long-term incentive plan for the benefit of our executive officers and senior management. This plan uses as its main evaluation metric the Economic Value Added, or EVA methodology. Under the EVA stock incentive plan, eligible executive officers and senior management are entitled to receive a special annual bonus in cash, after withholding applicable taxes, to purchase FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA shares traded in the Mexican Stock Exchange, based on the executive’s level of responsibility in the organization. We make a cash contribution to the administrative trust (which is controlled and consolidated by FEMSA) in the amount of the individual executive’s special bonus. The administrative trust then uses the funds to purchase FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA shares (as instructed by the Corporate Practices Committee). The acquired shares are deposited in a trust, and the executive officers and senior management can access them one year after they are vested, at 33.0% per year over a three-year period. Seventy percent of the annual executive bonus under our stock incentive plan must be used to purchase our company’s shares and the remaining 30.0% must be used to purchase FEMSA shares.

Share Ownership
None of our directors, alternate directors or executive officers is the beneficial owner of more than 1% of any class of our capital stock. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements.
Board Practices and Committees
Our bylaws state that the board of directors will meet at least four times a year to discuss our operating results and progress in achieving strategic objectives. It is the practice of our board of directors to meet following the end of each quarter. Our board of directors can also hold extraordinary meetings. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Bylaws.”
Under our bylaws, directors serve one-year terms although they continue in office for up to 30 days until successors are appointed. If no successor is appointed during this period, the board of directors may appoint interim members, who will be ratified or substituted at the next shareholders meeting after such event occurs. None of the members of our board of directors or senior management of our subsidiaries has service agreements providing for benefits upon termination of employment.
Our board of directors is supported by committees, which are working groups approved at our annual shareholders meeting that analyze issues and provide recommendations to the board of directors regarding their respective areas of focus. The executive officers interact periodically with the committees to address management issues. The following are the three committees of the board of directors:
•Planning and Finance Committee. The Planning and Finance Committee works with management to set our annual and long-term strategic and financial plans and monitors adherence to these plans. It is responsible for setting our optimal capital structure and recommends the appropriate level of borrowing as well as the issuance of securities. Financial risk management is another responsibility of the Planning and Finance Committee. Ricardo Guajardo Touché is the chairman of the Planning and Finance Committee. The other members include: Federico José Reyes García, John Murphy, Enrique F. Senior Hernández and Eugenio Garza y Garza. The secretary non-member of the Planning and Finance Committee is Constantino Spas Montesinos, our Chief Financial Officer.
•Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the accuracy and integrity of quarterly and annual financial statements in accordance with accounting, internal control and auditing requirements. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent auditor, who reports directly to the Audit Committee (such appointment and compensation being subject to the approval of our board of directors); the internal auditing function also reports to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has implemented procedures for receiving, retaining and addressing complaints regarding accounting, internal control and auditing matters, including the submission of confidential, anonymous complaints from employees regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. To carry out its duties, the Audit Committee may hire independent counsel and other advisors. As necessary, we compensate the independent auditor and any outside advisor hired by the Audit Committee and provide funding for ordinary administrative expenses incurred by the Audit Committee in the course of its duties. Victor Alberto Tiburcio Celorio is the chairman of the Audit Committee and the “audit committee financial expert.” Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law, the chairman of the Audit Committee is elected at our shareholders meeting. The other members are: Alfonso González Migoya and Francisco Zambrano Rodríguez. Each member of the Audit Committee is an independent director, as required by the Mexican Securities Market Law and applicable New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The secretary non-member of the Audit Committee is Gerardo Estrada Attolini, FEMSA’s administration and corporate control officer.
•Corporate Practices Committee. The Corporate Practices Committee, which consists exclusively of independent directors, is responsible for preventing or reducing the risk of performing operations that could damage the value of our company or that benefit a particular group of shareholders. The committee may call a shareholders meeting and include matters on the agenda for that meeting that it deems appropriate, approve policies on related party transactions, approve the compensation plan of the chief executive officer and relevant officers, and support our board of directors in the elaboration of related reports. The chairman of the Corporate Practices Committee is Daniel Javier Servitje Montull. Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law, the chairman of the Corporate Practices Committee is elected at our shareholders meeting. The other members include: Jaime A. El Koury, Luis Rubio Freidberg and Luis A. Nicolau Gutiérrez, and two permanent non-member guests, Daniel Alberto Rodríguez Cofré and José Octavio Reyes Lagunes. The secretary non-member of the Corporate Practices Committee is Karina Paola Awad Pérez, our Human Resources Officer.

Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information.”
In 2020 and 2021, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have taken, and continue to take, preventive measures at our facilities to ensure continued operations and to keep our teams healthy and safe. As part of those preventive measures, we advised our employees to reduce large gatherings and increase social distancing, and have directed certain office-based employees to work from home. In addition, we created and implemented internal protocols to respond to any suspected or diagnosed cases of COVID-19 among our workforce. Measures include implementing reinforced health, sanitation and hygiene protocols across our facilities and providing our employees with additional protective equipment such as masks, gloves and sanitizing gels.
Insurance Policies for Employees
We maintain a number of different types of insurance policies for all employees. These policies mitigate the risk of having to pay death benefits in the event of an industrial accident. We maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance policies covering all directors and certain key executive officers for liabilities incurred in their capacities as directors and officers.

The Shareholders Agreement
We operate pursuant to a shareholders agreement among two subsidiaries of FEMSA, The Coca-Cola Company and certain of its subsidiaries.
This agreement, together with our bylaws, sets forth the basic rules pursuant to which we operate.
In February 2010, our main shareholders, FEMSA and The Coca-Cola Company, amended the shareholders agreement, and our bylaws were amended accordingly. The amendment mainly related to changes in the voting requirements for decisions on: (1) ordinary operations within an annual business plan and (2) appointment of the chief executive officer and all officers reporting to him, all of which may be taken by the board of directors by simple majority voting. Also, the amendment provided that payment of dividends, up to an amount equivalent to 20.0% of the preceding years’ consolidated net profits, may be approved by a simple majority of the voting capital stock and any payment of dividends above 20.0% of the preceding years’ consolidated net profits shall require the approval of a majority of the voting capital stock, which majority must also include a majority of the Series D shares. Any decision on extraordinary matters, as they are defined by our bylaws and which include any new business acquisition, business combinations or any change in the existing line of business, among other things, shall require the approval of the majority of the members of the board of directors, with the vote of two of the members appointed by The Coca-Cola Company.
Under our bylaws and shareholders agreement, our Series A shares, Series D shares and Series B shares are the only shares with full voting rights. The shareholders agreement also sets forth the principal shareholders’ understanding as to the effect of adverse actions of The Coca-Cola Company under the bottler agreements. Our bylaws and shareholders agreement provide that a majority of the directors appointed by the holders of Series A shares, upon making a reasonable, good faith determination that any action of The Coca-Cola Company under any bottler agreement between The Coca-Cola Company and our company or any of our subsidiaries is
72

materially adverse to our business interests and that The Coca-Cola Company has failed to cure such action within 60 days of notice, may declare a “simple majority period,” as defined in our bylaws, at any time within 90 days after giving notice. During the simple majority period certain decisions, namely the approval of material changes in our business plans, the introduction of a new, or termination of an existing line of business, and related party transactions outside the ordinary course of business, to the extent the presence and approval of at least two Series D directors would otherwise be required, can be made by a simple majority vote of our entire board of directors, without requiring the presence or approval of any Series D director. A majority of the Series A directors may terminate a simple majority period but, once having done so, cannot declare another simple majority period for one year after the termination. If a simple majority period persists for one year or more, the provisions of the shareholders agreement for resolution of irreconcilable differences may be triggered, with the consequences outlined in the following paragraph.
In addition to the rights of first refusal provided for in our bylaws regarding proposed transfers of Series A shares or Series D shares, the shareholders agreement contemplates three circumstances under which one principal shareholder may purchase the interest of the other in our company: (1) a change in control in a principal shareholder, (2) the existence of irreconcilable differences between the principal shareholders or (3) the occurrence of certain specified events of default.
In the event that (1) one of the principal shareholders buys the other’s interest in our company in any of the circumstances described above or (2) the beneficial ownership of The Coca-Cola Company or FEMSA is reduced below 20.0% of our outstanding voting stock, and upon the request of the shareholder whose interest is not so reduced, the shareholders agreement will be terminated and our bylaws will be amended to eliminate all share transfer restrictions and all special-majority voting and quorum requirements.
The shareholders agreement also contains provisions relating to the principal shareholders understanding as to our growth. It states that it is The Coca-Cola Company’s intention that we will be viewed as one of a small number of its “anchor” bottlers in Latin America. In particular, the parties agree that it is desirable that we expand by acquiring additional bottler territories in Mexico and other Latin American countries in the event any become available through horizontal growth. In addition, The Coca-Cola Company has agreed, subject to a number of conditions, that if it obtains ownership of a bottler territory that fits with our operations, it will give us the option to acquire such territory. The Coca-Cola Company has also agreed to support reasonable and sound modifications to our capital structure to support horizontal growth. The Coca-Cola Company’s agreement as to horizontal growth expires upon either the elimination of the super-majority voting requirements described above or The Coca-Cola Company’s election to terminate the agreement as a result of a default.
The Coca-Cola Memorandum
In connection with the acquisition of Panamco in 2003, we established certain understandings primarily relating to operational and business issues with both The Coca-Cola Company and FEMSA that were memorialized in writing prior to completion of the acquisition. Although The Coca-Cola Memorandum has not been amended, we continue to develop our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company (i.e. through, inter alia, acquisitions and taking on new product categories), and we therefore believe that The Coca-Cola Memorandum should be interpreted in the context of subsequent events, some of which have been noted in the description below. The main terms are as follows:
•The shareholder arrangements between two subsidiaries of FEMSA and The Coca-Cola Company and certain of its subsidiaries will continue in place. On February 1, 2010, FEMSA amended its shareholders agreement with The Coca-Cola Company. See “—The Shareholders Agreement.”
•FEMSA will continue to consolidate our financial results under Mexican financial reporting standards. We have complied with Mexican law by transitioning to IFRS as of 2011 and FEMSA currently consolidates our financial results under IFRS.
•The Coca-Cola Company and FEMSA will continue to discuss in good faith the possibility of implementing changes to our capital structure in the future.
•The Coca-Cola Company may require the establishment of a different long-term strategy for Brazil. If, after taking into account our performance in Brazil, The Coca-Cola Company does not consider us to be part of this long-term strategic solution for Brazil, then we will sell our Brazilian franchise to The Coca-Cola Company or its designee at fair market value. Fair market value would be determined by independent investment bankers retained by each party at their own expense pursuant to specified procedures. In light of the performance of our business in Brazil and the fact that The Coca-Cola Company authorized us to acquire five Coca-Cola bottlers in Brazil from 2008 to 2022 and participate in the acquisition of the Brazilian operations of Jugos del Valle, Leão Alimentos, Laticínios Verde Campo Ltda., the AdeS business in Brazil, among others, we believe that this provision is no longer applicable.
73

•We would like to keep open strategic alternatives that relate to the integration of sparkling beverages and beer. The Coca-Cola Company, FEMSA and we would explore these alternatives on a market-by-market basis at the appropriate time.
•The Coca-Cola Company agreed to sell to a subsidiary of FEMSA sufficient shares to permit FEMSA to beneficially own 51.0% of our outstanding capital stock (assuming that this subsidiary of FEMSA does not sell any shares and that there are no issuances of our stock other than as contemplated by the acquisition). As a result of this understanding, in November 2006, FEMSA acquired, through a subsidiary, 148,000,000 of our Series D shares from certain subsidiaries of The Coca-Cola Company, representing 9.4% of the total outstanding voting shares and 8.0% of our total outstanding equity, at a price of US$2.888 per share for an aggregate amount of US$427.4 million. Pursuant to our bylaws, the acquired shares were converted from Series D shares to Series A shares.
•We may be entering some markets where significant infrastructure investment may be required. The Coca-Cola Company and FEMSA will conduct a joint study that will outline strategies for these markets, as well as the investment levels required to execute these strategies. Subsequently, it is intended that FEMSA and The Coca-Cola Company will reach an agreement on the level of funding to be provided by each of the partners. The parties intend that this allocation of funding responsibilities would not be overly burdensome for either partner.
Cooperation Framework with The Coca-Cola Company
In July 2016, we announced a new, comprehensive cooperation framework with The Coca-Cola Company. This cooperation framework seeks to maintain a mutually beneficial business relationship over the long term, which will allow both companies to focus on continuing to drive the business forward and generate profitable growth. The cooperation framework contemplates the following main objectives:
•Long-term guidelines in relationship economics. Concentrate prices for sparkling beverages in Mexico gradually increased from July 2017 through July 2019.
•Other Concentrate Price Adjustments. Potential future concentrate price adjustments for sparkling beverages and flavored water in Mexico will consider investment and profitability levels that are beneficial both to us and The Coca-Cola Company.
•Marketing and commercial strategies. We and The Coca-Cola Company are committed to implement marketing and commercial strategies, and productivity programs to maximize profitability. We believe that these initiatives will partially mitigate the effects of concentrate price adjustments.
As part of a shared vision for the future, and to continue strengthening our relationship and combined strategy, in 2021, we and The Coca-Cola Company agreed to enhance the Cooperation Framework. This enhancement includes additional drivers to grow the business and strengthen our successful and longstanding partnership.
This update contemplates the following main objectives:
•Growth principles. We and The Coca-Cola Company agreed to continuously build and align ambitious business growth plans to increase our operating income via top-line growth, cost and expense efficiencies and the implementation of marketing, commercial strategies and productivity programs.
•Relationship economics. Ensure that the economics of our business and management incentives are fully aligned towards long-term system value creation. Potential future concentrate price adjustments for sparkling beverages and flavored water in all our territories will be based on mutual consensus between The Coca-Cola Company and us as to which investment and profit split levels are mutually beneficial for both parties; including in such profit split levels the results from potential new businesses and ventures.
•Potential new business and ventures. As the Coca-Cola system continues to evolve, leveraging our sales and distribution network, we may be allowed to engage in the distribution of potential new businesses such as the distribution of beer, spirits and other consumer goods.
•Digital strategy. Development of a joint general framework for digital initiatives as part of both companies’ industry leading digitization efforts.

Related Party Transactions
We believe that our transactions with related parties are on terms comparable to those that would result from arm’s length negotiations with unaffiliated parties and are reviewed and approved by our Corporate Practices Committee and our board of directors.
FEMSA
We regularly engage in transactions with FEMSA and its subsidiaries, including sales of our products. The aggregate amount of these sales was Ps. 5,489 million, Ps. 5,020 million and Ps. 5,694 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Substantially all of these sales consist of sales to FEMSA Comercio, which operates OXXO, the chain of convenience stores.
We also purchase products and receive services from FEMSA and its subsidiaries. The aggregate amount of these purchases was Ps.7,447 million, Ps.6,538 million and Ps.7,756 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts principally relate to assets such as coolers and services provided to us by FEMSA. In 2017, we renewed our service agreement with a subsidiary of FEMSA, which provides for the continued provision of administrative services relating to insurance, legal and tax advice, consulting and advisory services, relations with governmental authorities and certain administrative and internal auditing services that it has been providing since June 1993. In November 2000, we entered into a service agreement with a subsidiary of FEMSA, Solistica, S.A. de C.V., for the transportation of finished products from our bottling plants to our distribution centers within Mexico. Additionally, FEMSA, through its strategic businesses unit, provides logistics services, point-of-sale refrigeration solutions and plastics solutions to us in the countries where we operate.
We also purchase products from Heineken and its subsidiaries (in which FEMSA owns a non-controlling interest) mainly in Brazil. The aggregate amount of these purchases was Ps. 11,635 million, Ps.11,600 million and Ps.12,755 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts principally relate to beer and other products.
We distribute and sell Heineken-owned brand beer products in our Brazilian territories pursuant to the distribution agreement entered into in February 2021 with Heineken Brazil. For further information, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Material Agreements.”
FEMSA is also a party to the understandings we have with The Coca-Cola Company relating to specified operational and business issues. A summary of these understandings is set forth under “—Major Shareholders—The Coca-Cola Memorandum.”
The Coca-Cola Company
We regularly engage in transactions with The Coca-Cola Company and its affiliates. We purchase all of our concentrate requirements for Coca-Cola trademark beverages from affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company. Total expenses charged to us by The Coca-Cola Company for concentrates were Ps.37,213 million, Ps.32,222 million and Ps.34,063 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our company and The Coca-Cola Company pay and reimburse each other for marketing expenditures. Our consolidated marketing expenses in 2021 were Ps. 5,413 million, of which Ps. 2,437 million was contributed by The Coca-Cola Company. Marketing contributions from The Coca-Cola Company were Ps.1,482 million and Ps. 2,274 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Coca-Cola Company also makes contributions to us that we generally use for initiatives that promote volume growth of Coca-Cola trademark beverages, including the placement of coolers with retailers.
In December 2007 and May 2008, we sold most of our proprietary brands to The Coca-Cola Company. The proprietary brands are licensed back to us by The Coca-Cola Company pursuant to our bottler agreements.
In Argentina, we purchase plastic preforms, as well as returnable plastic bottles, at competitive prices from Andina Empaques S.A., a local subsidiary of Embotelladora Andina S.A., a bottler of The Coca-Cola Company with operations in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Paraguay in which The Coca-Cola Company has a substantial interest.
We purchase products from Jugos del Valle, a joint business acquired together with The Coca-Cola Company, in the amount of Ps.2,918 million, Ps.2,437 million and Ps.2,863 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is mainly related to certain juice-based beverages and dairy products that are part of our product portfolio.

75

Associated Comp a nies
We also regularly engage in transactions with companies in which we own an equity interest that are not affiliated with The Coca-Cola Company, as described under “—The Coca-Cola Company.” We believe these transactions are on terms comparable to those that would result from arm’s length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties.
In Mexico, we purchase canned sparkling beverages from Industria Envasadora de Querétaro, S.A. de C.V., or IEQSA, in which, as of April 8, 2022, we held a 26.5% equity interest.

Legal Proceedings
We are party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including in relation to antitrust, labor, tax and commercial matters. We believe we had appropriate reserves as required under IFRS for these legal proceedings as of December 31, 2021. Other than as disclosed in this annual report, we are not currently involved in any litigation or arbitration proceeding, including any proceeding that is pending or threatened of which we are aware, which we believe could have, or has had, a material adverse effect on our company. Other legal proceedings that are pending against us or that involve us or our subsidiaries are incidental to the conduct of our and their business. We believe that the ultimate resolution of such other proceedings individually or in an aggregate basis would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results. For further information, see Notes 23.2.1, 24.6 and 24.7 to our consolidated financial statements.
Arbitration with Unilever Brazil. In May 2018, Unilever Brazil notified us of its decision to add certain charges to the selling price of AdeS products under the supply agreement with us and other Brazilian bottlers. We and the other Brazilian bottlers disagreed with such charges, and an arbitration proceeding was brought by Unilever Brazil against us and the other Brazilian bottlers. On October 1, 2020, the arbitration tribunal issued a partial award, ruling in favor of us and the other Brazilian bottlers and holding that Unilever Brazil should not add those charges to the selling price of AdeS products. In December 2021, all parties to this arbitration reached an agreement and settled the dispute.
Tax Proceeding against KOF Costa Rica. In 2013, the Costa Rican National Institute of Rural Development (Instituto Nacional de Desarrollo Rural or the INDER)) questioned our Costa Rican subsidiary’s method of calculating the contribution to the INDER (excise tax) for the period from 2009 to 2012. Prior to a change in law in November 29, 2012, which specifically provided
76

how to calculate this excise tax (by multiplying a fixed amount in Costa Rican colones by the milliliters of products sold), our Costa Rican subsidiary calculated the excise tax based on production costs. However, the INDER’s interpretation is that the excise tax had to be calculated based on the sales price, including the profit margin, of the products. As a result, the INDER requested the payment of the unpaid contribution amounts for the 2009-2012 period. We filed, through an administrative procedure, an appeal against such requirement, which was denied. We have contested this claim through a legal proceeding, which is still pending resolution and we have filed a motion for a stay of execution until the legal proceeding is finally resolved, through which we deposited a guarantee in an escrow account in favor of the INDER.
For a description of other unsettled lawsuits with tax authorities and other parties, see Note 24.6 to our consolidated financial statements.
Item 9. The Offer and Listing
ADSs representing our units are listed and trade on the NYSE, and our units are listed and trade on the Mexican Stock Exchange. Each ADS represents 10 units, each unit consisting of 3 Series B shares and 5 Series L shares, in each case deposited under the deposit agreement with the ADS depositary, as amended. Our 2.750% Senior Notes due 2030 and our 1.850% Senior Notes due 2032 are also listed and trade on the NYSE. For more information about our securities, see Exhibit 2.13—Description of Securities Registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
The NYSE trading symbol for the ADSs is “KOF” and the Mexican Stock Exchange trading symbol for our units is “KOF UBL”.
Trading on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V. and Bolsa Institucional de Valores, S.A. de C.V.
The Mexican Stock Exchange or the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V. and the Bolsa Institucional de Valores, S.A. de C.V. are both located in Mexico City, and are the two operating stock exchanges in Mexico. Trading takes place principally through automated systems that are open between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Mexico City time, each business day. During daylight savings time, trading hours change to match the NYSE trading hours, opening at 7:30 a.m. and closing at 2:00 p.m. local time. Both stock exchanges operate a system of automatic suspension of trading in shares of a particular issuer as a means of controlling excessive price volatility, but under current regulations this system does not apply to securities such as the units represented by ADSs that are directly or indirectly quoted on a stock exchange outside of Mexico.
Settlement is effected two business days after a stock transaction. Deferred settlement, even by mutual agreement, is not permitted without the approval of the Mexican Stock Exchange or the Bolsa Institucional de Valores, S.A. de C.V. Most securities traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange and on the Bolsa Institucional de Valores, S.A. de C.V., including our units, are on deposit with S.D. Indeval Instituto para el Depósito de Valores, S.A. de C.V., which we refer to as Indeval, a privately owned securities depositary that acts as a clearinghouse for transactions on the Mexican Stock Exchange and on the Bolsa Institucional de Valores, S.A. de C.V.

Previously, Series A shareholders appointed 13 directors and Series D shareholders appointed 5 directors.
Additionally, on July 12, 2021, Articles 2 and 29 of our bylaws were amended to (i) modify our corporate purpose to more accurately describe our current activities and (ii) modify the installation and approval procedures of our board of directors setting forth the manner in which the board of directors convenes through the use of remote communication.
In this summary of our bylaws, references to the rights or restrictions of holders of Series B shares or holders of Series L shares refer to the rights and restrictions that apply to the holders of our units, as the indirect holders of the Series B shares and Series L shares comprising such units.
Organization and Register
We were incorporated on October 30, 1991, as a stock corporation with variable capital (sociedad anónima de capital variable) in accordance with the Mexican General Corporations Law (Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles). On December 5, 2006, we became a publicly traded stock corporation with variable capital (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable) and amended our bylaws in accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law. We were registered in the Public Registry of Property and Commerce (Registro Público de la Propiedad y del Comercio) of Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico on November 22, 1991 under commercial file number 2986, folio 171, volume 365, third book of the commercial section. In addition, due to the change of address of our company to Mexico City, we have also been registered in the Public Registry of Property and Commerce of Mexico City since June 28, 1993 under commercial file number 176,543.
Purposes
The main corporate purposes of our company include the following:
•to establish, promote, create and participate in corporations or companies of any type either domestic or foreign, through the subscription and/or acquisition of shares, quotas, assets and rights in such entities, and in any form dispose of and carry out all types of commercial transactions and agreements with respect to such shares, quotas, assets and rights;
•to subscribe, issue, own, buy, sell and carry out all types of transactions involving bonds, shares, equity, negotiable instruments and securities of any type;

78

•to contract professional and/or specialized services of any kind, and in general, to perform the acts, enter into the agreements and carry out other transactions as may be necessary or conducive to our corporate purpose.
Voting Rights, Transfer Restrictions and Certain Minority Rights
Series A shares and Series D shares have full voting rights and are subject to transfer restrictions. Series B shares have full voting rights, and Series L shares have limited voting rights. Series B shares and Series L shares are freely transferable in the form of units, for so long as Series B shares and Series L shares trade together as units. If the units are unwound, as described below, the underlying Series B shares and Series L shares will be freely transferable on an individual basis. None of our shares are exchangeable for shares of a different series. The rights of all series of our capital stock are substantially identical except as provided herein.
Under our bylaws, holders of Series L shares are entitled to vote in limited circumstances. They may appoint for election and elect up to three of our maximum of 21 directors and, in certain circumstances where holders of Series L shares have not voted for the director elected by holders of the majority of these series of shares, they may be entitled to elect and remove one director, through a general shareholders meeting, for every 10.0% they own of all issued, subscribed and paid shares of our capital stock, pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law, up to a maximum number of three directors out of the total of 21 directors. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees.” In addition, they are entitled to vote on certain matters, including certain changes in our corporate form, mergers involving our company when our company is the merged entity or when the principal corporate purpose of the merged entity is not related to the corporate purpose of our company, and the cancellation of the registration of our shares in the Mexican Stock Exchange or any other foreign stock exchange.
Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law, minority shareholders are entitled to a number of protections. These protections include provisions that permit:
•holders of 10.0% of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote, including in a limited or restricted manner, either individually or as a group, to require the chairman of the board of directors or the chairmen of the Audit or Corporate Practices Committees to call a shareholders meeting;
•holders of 5.0% of our outstanding capital stock, either individually or as a group, to bring an action for liability against our directors, the secretary of the board of directors and certain key officers;
•holders of 10.0% of our outstanding capital stock who are entitled to vote, including in a limited or restricted manner, either individually or as a group, to request at any shareholders meeting that resolutions be postponed with respect to any matter on which they considered they were not sufficiently informed;
•holders of 20.0% of our outstanding capital stock, either individually or as a group, to oppose any resolution adopted at a shareholders meeting in which they are entitled to vote and file a petition for a court order to suspend the resolution temporarily within 15 days following the adjournment of the meeting at which the action was taken, provided that (1) the challenged resolution violates Mexican law or our bylaws, (2) the opposing shareholders neither attended the meeting nor voted in favor of the challenged resolution and (3) the opposing shareholders deliver a bond to the court to secure payment for any damages that we may suffer as a result of suspending the resolution in the event that the court ultimately rules against the opposing shareholder; and
•for every 10.0% of our outstanding capital stock who are entitled to vote, including in a limited or restricted manner, held either individually or as a group, to appoint one member of our board of directors and one alternate member of our board of directors up to the maximum number of directors that each series is entitled to appoint under our bylaws; if a holder or group of holders of Series B shares are entitled to appoint a director, the shareholders meeting will reduce the number of directors entitled to be appointed by holders of another series of shares; provided that, the number of directors entitled to be appointed by holders of Series D shares will remain unchanged, unless otherwise agreed.
Shareholders Meetings
General shareholders meetings may be ordinary meetings or extraordinary meetings. Extraordinary meetings are those called to consider certain specific matters as provided in the Mexican General Corporations Law, including: amendments to our bylaws, liquidation, dissolution, merger and transformation from one form of company to another, issuance of preferred stock and increases and reductions of the fixed portion of our capital stock. In addition, our bylaws require an extraordinary meeting to consider the cancellation of the registration of our equity securities with the National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores or RNV) maintained by the CNBV and the delisting of our equity securities from the Mexican Stock Exchange or any other foreign stock
79

exchanges on which our equity securities may be listed, the amortization of distributable earnings into capital stock, and issuances of treasury shares for future subscription and payment. All other matters, including increases or decreases affecting the variable portion of our capital stock, are considered at an ordinary meeting.
Pursuant to Mexican law, an ordinary annual meeting must be held at least once each year (1) to consider the approval of our financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, (2) to determine the allocation of the profits of the preceding fiscal year and (3) to appoint, remove or ratify the members of our board of directors. The holders of Series A, Series D and Series B shares are entitled to vote in such ordinary annual meeting regarding all three matters mentioned above, and the holders of Series L shares are exclusively entitled to vote in relation to the appointment of members of the board of directors (i.e. up to three directors and their respective alternate directors). Further, any transaction to be entered into by us or our subsidiaries within the following fiscal year that represents 20.0% or more of our consolidated assets must be approved at an ordinary shareholders meeting at which holders of Series L shares are entitled to vote.
The quorum for ordinary and extraordinary meetings at which holders of Series L shares are not entitled to vote is 76.0% of the holders of our fully subscribed and paid voting shares. Resolutions adopted at such ordinary or extraordinary shareholders meetings are valid when adopted with the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of our fully subscribed and paid voting shares voting (and not abstaining) at the meeting, including the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Series D shares. However, for a shareholders meeting to vote on a payment of dividends in an amount not to exceed 20.0% of the preceding years’ consolidated net profits, the approval of our financial statements for the preceding fiscal year with an unqualified auditor’s opinion, or our normal operations plan, our bylaws only require a quorum of a majority of our fully subscribed and paid voting shares and resolutions are validly adopted at such meeting with the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of our voting shares voting (and not abstaining) at the meeting.
Under our bylaws, holders of Series B shares are entitled to vote on all matters discussed at an ordinary or extraordinary meeting. These holders are entitled to elect and remove one director for every 10.0% of all issued, subscribed and paid shares of our capital stock that they may hold either individually or as a group, up to a maximum number of three directors out of the total of 21 directors.
The quorum for an extraordinary meeting at which holders of Series L shares are entitled to vote is 82.0% of all of our fully subscribed and paid shares, and resolutions issued at such extraordinary meeting are valid when adopted with the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of our fully subscribed and paid shares voting (and not abstaining) at the meeting. The following matters may be approved in such a meeting:
•changes in our corporate form from one type of company to another (other than changing from a variable capital to fixed-capital corporation and vice versa); and
•any merger where we are not the surviving entity or any merger with an entity whose principal corporate purposes are different from those of the Registrant or its subsidiaries.
Series L shares will also be entitled to vote on any other matters for which the Mexican Securities Market Law expressly allows Series L shares to vote.
In the event of cancellation of the registration of any of our shares with the RNV, whether by order of the CNBV or at our request with the prior consent of 95.0% of the holders of our outstanding capital stock, our bylaws and the Mexican Securities Market Law require us to make a public offer to acquire these shares prior to their cancellation.
Holders of Series L shares may attend, but not address, meetings of shareholders at which they are not entitled to vote.
Holders of our shares in the form of ADSs will receive notice of shareholders meetings from the ADS depositary in sufficient time to enable such holders to return voting instructions to the ADS depositary in a timely manner. Our past practice, which we intend to continue, has been to inform the depositary to timely notify holders of our shares in the form of ADSs of upcoming votes and ask for their instructions.
Mexican law provides for a special meeting of shareholders to allow holders of shares of a specific series to vote as a class on any action that would prejudice exclusively the rights of holders of such series. There are no procedures for determining whether a particular proposed shareholder action requires a class vote, and Mexican law does not provide extensive guidance on the criteria to be applied in making such a determination. Holders of Series A, Series B, Series D and Series L shares at their respective special meetings or at an annual ordinary meeting, must appoint, remove or ratify directors, as well as determine their compensation. The quorum for special meetings of any series of shares is 75.0% of the holders of the fully subscribed and paid shares of the series entitled to attend such special meeting. Except for resolutions to unwind the units into individual Series B and Series L shares as described
80

above, resolutions adopted at a special shareholders meeting are valid when adopted by the holders of at least a majority of the fully subscribed and paid shares of the series entitled to attend such special meeting. Resolutions to unwind the units into individual Series B shares and Series L shares as described above are valid when adopted by the holders of at least 51.0% of each of the fully subscribed and paid Series B shares and Series L shares.
Shareholders meetings may be called by the board of directors, the Audit Committee or the Corporate Practices Committee and, under certain circumstances, a Mexican court. For every 10.0% or more of our capital stock held by holders, either individually or as a group, such holders may require the chairman of the board of directors, or the chairmen of the Audit Committee or Corporate Practices Committee to call a shareholders meeting. A notice of meeting and an agenda must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in Mexico City or in the electronic system maintained by the Mexican Ministry of Economy at least 15 days prior to the meeting. Notices must set forth the place, date and time of the meeting and the matters to be addressed and must be signed by whoever convened the meeting. All relevant information relating to the shareholders meeting must be made available to shareholders starting on the date of publication of the notice. To attend a meeting, shareholders must deposit their shares with the corresponding trust institution or with Indeval, or an institution for the deposit of securities prior to the meeting as indicated in the notice. If entitled to attend the meeting, a shareholder may be represented by an attorney-in-fact or vote by proxy.
Additional Transfer Restrictions Applicable to Series A and Series D Shares
Our bylaws provide that no holder of Series A or Series D shares may sell its shares unless it has disclosed the terms of the proposed sale and the name of the proposed buyer and has previously offered to sell the shares to the holders of the other series for the same price and terms as it intended to sell the shares to a third party. If the shareholders being offered shares do not choose to purchase the shares within 90 days of the offer, the selling shareholder is free to sell the shares to the third party at the price and under the specified terms. In addition, our bylaws impose certain procedures in connection with the pledge of any Series A or Series D shares to any financial institution that are designed, among other things, to ensure that the pledged shares will be offered to the holders of the other series at market value prior to any foreclosure. Finally, a proposed transfer of Series A or Series D shares other than a proposed sale or a pledge, or a change of control of a holder of Series A or Series D shares to a company that is a subsidiary of a principal shareholder, would not trigger rights of first refusal to purchase the shares at market value. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—The Shareholders Agreement.”
Dividend Rights
At the annual ordinary meeting of holders of Series A, Series B, and Series D shares, the board of directors submits our financial statements for the previous fiscal year, together with a report thereon by the board of directors. Once the holders have approved the financial statements, they determine the allocation of our net income for the preceding year. Mexican law requires the allocation of at least 5.0% of net income to a legal reserve, which is not subsequently available for distribution until the amount of the legal reserve equals 20.0% of our capital stock. Thereafter, the holders of Series A, Series B and Series D shares may determine and allocate a certain percentage of net income to any general or special reserve, including a reserve for open-market purchases of our shares. The remainder of net income is available for distribution in the form of dividends to the shareholders.
All shares outstanding and fully paid (including Series L shares) at the time a dividend or other distribution is declared are entitled to share equally in the dividend or other distribution. No series of shares is entitled to a preferred dividend. Shares that are only partially paid, participate in a dividend or other distributions proportionately based on the amount actually paid at the time of the dividend or other distributions. Treasury shares are not entitled to dividends or other distributions.
Change in Capital
According to our bylaws, any change in our authorized capital stock requires a resolution of a shareholders meeting. We are permitted to issue shares representing fixed capital and shares representing variable capital. The fixed portion of our capital stock may be increased or decreased only by amendment of our bylaws adopted by a resolution at an extraordinary shareholders meeting. The variable portion of our capital stock may be increased or decreased by resolution of an ordinary shareholders meeting without amending our bylaws. All changes in the fixed or variable capital have to be registered in our capital variation registry book, as required by the applicable law.
A capital stock increase may be effected through the issuance of new shares for payment in cash or in kind, or by capitalization of indebtedness or of certain items of equity. Treasury stock may only be sold through a public offering.
81

Preemptive Rights
The Mexican Securities Market Law permits the issuance and sale of shares through a public offering without granting shareholders preemptive rights, if permitted by the bylaws and upon, among other things, authorization of the CNBV and the approval of the extraordinary shareholders meeting called for such purpose. Under Mexican law and our bylaws, except in limited circumstances (including mergers, sale of repurchased shares, convertible securities into shares and capital increases by means of payment in kind for shares or shares issued in return for the cancellation of debt), in the event of an increase in our capital stock, a holder of record generally has the right to subscribe shares of a series held by such holder sufficient to maintain such holder’s existing proportionate holding of shares of that series. Preemptive rights must be exercised during a term fixed by the shareholders at the meeting declaring the capital increase, which term must last at least 15 days following the publication of notice of the capital increase through an electronic system of the Mexican Ministry of Economy. As a result of applicable United States securities laws, holders of ADSs may be restricted in their ability to participate in the exercise of preemptive rights as provided in the deposit agreement with the ADSs depositary, as amended. Under Mexican law, preemptive rights cannot be waived in advance or be assigned, or be represented by an instrument that is negotiable separately from the corresponding shares.
Limitations on Share Ownership
Our bylaws provide that Series A shares must at all times constitute no less than 50.1% of all outstanding common shares with full voting rights (excluding Series L shares) and may only be held by Mexican investors. Under our bylaws, in the event Series A shares are subscribed or acquired by any other shareholders holding shares of any other series, and the shareholder is of a citizenship other than Mexican, these Series A shares are automatically converted into shares of the same series of stock that this shareholder owns, and this conversion will be considered perfected at the same time as the subscription or acquisition. Additionally our bylaws provide that Series B shares jointly with the Series D shares shall not exceed 49.9% of all outstanding common shares with full voting rights (excluding Series L shares).
Other Provisions
Authority of the Board of Directors. The board of directors is our main managing body and is authorized to take any action in connection with our operations not expressly reserved to our shareholders. Pursuant to our bylaws, the board of directors must approve, observing at all moments their duty of care and duty of loyalty, among other matters the following:
•any related party transactions outside the ordinary course of our business;
•significant asset transfers, mergers or acquisitions;
•guarantees or collateral that represent more than 30.0% of our consolidated assets;
•appointment of officers and senior management deemed necessary, as well as the creation of the necessary committees;
•the annual business plan and the five-year business plan and any modifications thereto;
•internal policies;
•the compensation of our chief executive officer and the senior management reporting directly to the chief executive officer; and
•other transactions that represent more than 1% of our consolidated assets.
Meetings of the board of directors are validly convened and held if a majority of the members are present. Resolutions passed at these meetings will be valid if approved by a majority of the directors voting (and not abstaining). The majority of the members, which shall include the vote of at least two Series D shares directors, shall approve any extraordinary decision including any new business acquisition or combination or any change in the existing line of business, among others. In addition, the board of directors may meet virtually, in person or in hybrid meetings.
82

Redemption. Our fully paid shares are subject to redemption in connection with either (1) a reduction of capital stock or (2) a redemption with distributable earnings, which, in either case, must be approved by our shareholders. The shares subject to any such redemption would be selected by us by lot or in the case of redemption with distributable earnings, by purchasing shares by means of a tender offer conducted on the Mexican Stock Exchange, in accordance with the Mexican General Corporations Law and the Mexican Securities Market Law.
Repurchase of Shares. According to our bylaws, and subject to the provisions of the Mexican Securities Market Law and under rules promulgated by the CNBV, we may freely repurchase our own shares for a maximum amount in Mexican pesos previously approved by our shareholders meeting.
In accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law, our subsidiaries may not purchase, directly or indirectly, shares of our capital stock or any security that represents such shares.
Forfeiture of Shares. As required by Mexican law, our bylaws provide that non-Mexican holders of our shares are (1) considered to be Mexican with respect to such shares that they acquire or hold and (2) may not invoke the protection of their own governments in respect of the investment represented by those shares. Failure to comply with our bylaws may result in a penalty of forfeiture of a shareholder’s capital stock in favor of the Mexican state. Under this provision, a non-Mexican holder of our shares (including a non-Mexican holder of ADSs) is deemed to have agreed not to invoke the protection of its own government by asking such government to commence a diplomatic claim against the Mexican state with respect to its rights as a shareholder, but is not deemed to have waived any other rights it may have, including any rights under the United States securities laws, with respect to its investment in our company. If a shareholder invokes governmental protections in violation of this agreement, its shares may be forfeited to the benefit of the Mexican state.
Duration. Our bylaws provide that our company’s term is for 99 years from its date of incorporation, unless extended through a resolution of an extraordinary shareholders meeting.
Fiduciary Duties—Duty of Care. The Mexican Securities Market Law provides that the directors shall act in good faith and in our best interest and in the best interest of our subsidiaries. In order to fulfill its duty, the board of directors may:
•request information about us or our subsidiaries that is reasonably necessary to fulfill its duties;
•require our officers and certain other persons, including the external auditors, to appear at board of directors’ meetings to report to the board of directors;
•postpone board of directors’ meetings for up to three days when a director has not been given sufficient notice of the meeting or in the event that a director has not been provided with the information provided to the other directors; and
•require a matter be discussed and voted upon by the full board of directors in the presence of the secretary of the board of directors.
Our directors may be liable for damages for failing to comply with their duty of care if such failure causes economic damage to us or our subsidiaries and the director (1) failed to attend board of directors’ or committee meetings and as a result of, such failure, the board of directors is unable to take action, unless such absence is approved by the shareholders meeting, (2) failed to disclose to the board of directors or the committees material information necessary for the board of directors to reach a decision, unless legally prohibited from doing so or required to do so to maintain confidentiality, and (3) failed to comply with the duties imposed by the Mexican Securities Market Law or our bylaws.
Fiduciary Duties—Duty of Loyalty. The Mexican Securities Market Law provides that the directors and secretary of the board of directors shall keep confidential any non-public information and matters about which they have knowledge as a result of their position. Also, directors should abstain from participating, attending or voting at meetings related to matters where they have a conflict of interest.
The directors and secretary of the board of directors will be deemed to have violated the duty of loyalty, and will be liable for damages, when they obtain an economic benefit by virtue of their position. Further, the directors will fail to comply with their duty of loyalty if they:
•vote at a board of directors’ meeting or take any action on a matter involving our assets where there is a conflict of interest;
•fail to disclose a conflict of interest during a board of directors’ meeting;
83

•enter into a voting arrangement to support a particular shareholder or group of shareholders against the other shareholders;
•approve transactions without complying with the requirements of the Mexican Securities Market Law;
•use company property in violation of the policies approved by the board of directors;
•unlawfully use material non-public information; and
•usurp a corporate opportunity for their own benefit or the benefit of a third party, without the prior approval of the board of directors.
Appraisal Rights. Whenever the shareholders approve a change of corporate purpose, change of nationality or change the corporate form of our company, any shareholder entitled to vote on such change that has voted against it, may withdraw as a shareholder of our company and have its shares redeemed at a price per share calculated as specified under applicable Mexican law, provided that it exercises its right within 15 days following the adjournment of the meeting at which the change was approved. In this case, the shareholder would be entitled to the reimbursement of its shares, in proportion to our assets in accordance with the last approved balance sheet. Because holders of Series L shares are not entitled to vote on certain types of these changes, these withdrawal rights are available to holders of Series L shares in fewer cases than to holders of other series of our capital stock.
Liquidation. Upon our liquidation, one or more liquidators may be appointed to wind up our affairs. All fully paid and outstanding shares of capital stock (including Series L and Series B shares) will be entitled to participate equally in any distribution upon liquidation. Shares that are only partially paid will be entitled to participate in any distribution upon liquidation in the proportion that they have been paid at the time of liquidation. There are no liquidation preferences for any series of our shares.
Actions Against Directors. Shareholders (including holders of Series L and Series B shares) representing, in the aggregate, not less than 5.0% of the capital stock may directly bring an action against directors.
In the event of actions resulting from any breach of the duty of care and the duty of loyalty, liability is exclusively in our favor. The Mexican Securities Market Law establishes that liability may be imposed on the members and the secretary of the board of directors, as well as to the relevant officers.
Notwithstanding, the Mexican Securities Market Law provides that the members of the board of directors will not incur, individually or jointly, in liability for damages and losses caused to our company, when their acts were made in good faith, provided that (1) the directors complied with the requirements of the Mexican Securities Market Law and with our bylaws, (2) the decision making or voting was based on information provided by the relevant officers, the external auditor or the independent experts, whose capacity and credibility do not offer reasonable doubt; (3) the negative economic effects could not have been foreseen, based on the information available; and (4) the resolutions of the shareholders meeting were observed.
Limited Liability. The liability of shareholders for our company’s losses is limited to their participation in our company.
Material Agreements
We manufacture, package, distribute and sell Coca-Cola trademark beverages under bottler agreements with The Coca-Cola Company. In addition, pursuant to a tradename license agreement with The Coca-Cola Company, we are authorized to use certain trademark names of The Coca-Cola Company in our corporate name. For a discussion of the terms of these agreements, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Bottler Agreements.”
We operate pursuant to a shareholders agreement, as amended from time to time, among certain subsidiaries of FEMSA, The Coca-Cola Company and certain of its subsidiaries. For a discussion of the terms of this agreement, see “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—The Shareholders Agreement.”
We purchase the majority of our non-returnable plastic bottles from Alpla, a provider authorized by The Coca-Cola Company, pursuant to an agreement we entered into in April 1998 for our original operations in Mexico. Under this agreement, we rent plant space to Alpla, where it produces plastic bottles to certain specifications and quantities for our use.
In July 2015, we executed new agreements with DXC Technology (formerly Hewlett Packard) for the outsourcing of technology services in all of our territories. These agreements were in effect until July 2020 and were renewed until March 2023.
84

In 2016 and 2017, we entered into certain distribution agreements with Monster Energy Company to sell and distribute Monster trademark energy drinks in most of our territories. These agreements have a ten-year term and are automatically renewed for up to two five-year terms.
Since 1993 we have distributed and sold Heineken beer products in our Brazilian territories pursuant to our agreement with Heineken Brazil. This agreement was scheduled to expire in 2022. However, in February 2021, we entered into a new distribution agreement with Heineken Brazil that replaced our previous distribution agreement with Heineken Brazil. Pursuant to this new distribution agreement, we continue to sell and distribute Kaiser, Bavaria and Sol beer brands in Brazil and added the premium brand Eisenbahn and other premium international brands to our portfolio and have ceased to sell and distribute Heineken and Amstel beer brands in most of our territories. In addition, we now have the right to produce and distribute alcoholic beverages and other beers in Brazil based on a certain proportion of Heineken’s portfolio in Brazil. The new distribution agreement has a five-year term and may be automatically renewed for an additional five-year term subject to certain conditions. After entering into this new distribution agreement, we withdrew from a then-existing legal proceeding with Heineken and Heineken Brazil asserting the right to distribute the beer Kirin and waived all rights with respect to any awards or judgements resulting from such legal proceeding.
See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Summary of Significant Debt Instruments” for a brief discussion of certain terms of our significant debt agreements.

Taxation
The following summary contains a description of certain U.S. federal income and Mexican federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our units or ADSs by a holder that is a citizen or resident of the United States, a U.S. domestic corporation or a person or entity that otherwise will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the units or ADSs, which we refer to as a U.S. holder, but it does not purport to be a description of all of the possible tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, hold or dispose of the units or ADSs. In particular, this discussion does not address all Mexican or U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular investor, nor does it address the special tax rules applicable to certain categories of investors, such as banks, dealers, traders who elect to mark to market, tax- exempt entities, insurance companies, certain short-term holders of units or ADSs or investors who hold the units or ADSs as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or integrated transaction, partnerships or partners therein, non-resident alien individuals present in the United States for 183 days or more or investors who have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar. U.S. holders should be aware that the tax consequences of holding the units or ADSs may be materially different for investors described in the preceding sentence. This summary deals only with U.S. holders that will hold the units or ADSs as capital assets and does not address the tax treatment of a U.S. holder that owns or is treated as owning 10.0% or more of the shares by vote or value (including units) of our company.
This summary is based upon the federal tax laws of the United States and Mexico as in effect on the date of this annual report, including the provisions of the income tax treaty between the United States and Mexico and the protocols thereto, or the Tax Treaty, which are subject to change. The summary does not address any tax consequences under the laws of any state or municipality of Mexico or the United States or the laws of any taxing jurisdiction other than the federal laws of Mexico and the United States. Holders of the units or ADSs should consult their tax advisers as to the U.S., Mexican or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of units or ADSs, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws.
Mexican Taxation
For purposes of this summary, the term “non-resident holder” means a holder that is not a resident of Mexico and that does not hold the units, or ADSs in connection with the conduct of a trade or business through a permanent establishment in Mexico. For purposes of Mexican taxation, an individual is a resident of Mexico if he or she has established his or her home in Mexico, or if he or she has another home outside Mexico but his or her “center of vital interests” (as defined in the Mexican Tax Code) is located in Mexico. The “center of vital interests” of an individual is situated in Mexico when, among other circumstances, more than 50.0% of that person’s total income during a calendar year originates from within Mexico. A legal entity is a resident of Mexico if it has its principal place of business or its place of effective management in Mexico. A Mexican citizen is presumed to be a resident of Mexico unless such a person can demonstrate that the contrary is true. If a legal entity or an individual is deemed to have a permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes, all income attributable to such a permanent establishment will be subject to Mexican taxes, in accordance with applicable tax laws.

Tax Considerations Relating to the Units and the ADSs
Taxation of Dividends. Effective as of January 1, 2014, under Mexican income tax laws, dividends, either in cash or in kind, paid to individuals that are Mexican residents or individuals or companies that are non-Mexican residents, on the Series B shares and Series L shares underlying our units or ADSs, are subject to a 10.0% withholding tax, or a lower rate if covered by a tax treaty. Profits that were earned and subject to income tax before January 1, 2014 are exempt from this withholding tax.
Taxation of Dispositions of ADSs or Units. Effective as of January 1, 2014, gains from the sale or disposition of units carried out on the Mexican Stock Exchange or another approved securities market in Mexico by individuals that are Mexican residents will be subject to an income tax rate of 10.0%, and gains from the sale or disposition of units carried out on the Mexican Stock Exchange or another approved securities market in Mexico by individuals and companies that are non-Mexican residents will be subject to a 10.0% Mexican withholding tax. The cost at which shares were acquired prior to January 1, 2014, is calculated by using the average closing price per share in the last twenty-two days. If the closing price per share in the last twenty-two days is considered unusual as compared to the closing prices in the last six months, then the calculation is made using the average closing price per share in the last six months. However, a holder that is eligible to claim benefits from any tax treaty will be exempt from Mexican withholding tax on gains realized on a sale or other disposition of units, provided certain additional requirements are met.
Gains on the sale or other disposition of units or ADSs made in a transaction that is not carried out through the Mexican Stock Exchange or other approved securities market in Mexico generally would be subject to Mexican tax, regardless of the nationality or residence of the transferor. However, under the Tax Treaty, a holder that is eligible to claim the benefits of the Tax Treaty will be exempt from Mexican tax on gains realized on such a sale or other disposition of units or ADSs, so long as the holder did not own, directly or indirectly, 25.0% or more of our total capital stock (including units represented by ADSs) within the 12-month period preceding such sale or other disposition and provided that the gains are not attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base in Mexico. Deposits of units in exchange for ADSs and withdrawals of units in exchange for ADSs will not give rise to Mexican tax.
Other Mexican Taxes
There are no Mexican inheritance, gift, succession or value-added taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer, exchange or disposition of the ADSs or units, although gratuitous transfers of units may in certain circumstances cause a Mexican federal tax to be imposed upon the recipient. There are no Mexican stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of units.
United States Taxation
Tax Considerations Relating to the Units and the ADSs
In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADSs will be treated as the owners of the units represented by those ADSs.
Taxation of Dividends. The gross amount of any distributions paid to holders of our units or the ADSs, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally will be included in the gross income of a U.S. holder as foreign source dividend income on the day on which the dividends are received by the U.S. holder, in the case of our units, or by the depositary, in the case of our units represented by ADSs, and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Because we do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions paid to U.S. holders generally will be reported as dividends.
Dividends, which will be paid in Mexican pesos, will be included in the income of a U.S. holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated, in general, by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date that they are received by the U.S. holder, in the case of our units, or by the depositary, in the case of our units represented by ADSs (regardless of whether such Mexican pesos are in fact converted into U.S. dollars on such date). If such dividends are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividends. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any pesos received by a U.S. holder or depositary that are converted into U.S. dollars on a date subsequent to receipt.
The amount of Mexican tax withheld generally will give rise to a foreign tax credit or deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends generally will constitute “passive category income” for purposes of the foreign tax credit (or in the case of certain U.S. holders, “general category income”). The foreign tax credit rules are complex. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the implications of those rules for their investments in our units or ADSs.
86

Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by an individual U.S. holder of our units or ADSs generally is subject to taxation at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid to holders of our units or ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if (1) we are eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has approved for the purposes of the qualified dividend rules, or the dividends are paid with respect to ADSs that are readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market and (2) the issuer was not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and is not, in the year in which the dividend is paid a passive foreign investment company. The income tax treaty between Mexico and the United States has been approved for the purposes of the qualified dividend rules. The ADSs are listed on the NYSE, and will qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. Based on our audited consolidated financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2021 taxable year. In addition, based on our audited financial statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a passive foreign investment company for our 2022 taxable year.
Distributions to U.S. holders of additional units with respect to their units or ADSs that are made as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
Taxation of Capital Gains. A gain or loss realized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of ADSs or units will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the ADSs or units. Any such gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the ADSs or units were held for more than one year on the date of such sale. Long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. holder that is an individual is subject to reduced rates of federal income taxation. The deduction of capital loss is subject to limitations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Deposits and withdrawals of units by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Gain, if any, realized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of units or ADSs will be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, if a Mexican withholding tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of the units or ADSs, a U.S. holder that does not receive significant foreign source income from other sources may not be able to derive effective U.S. foreign tax credit benefits in respect of these Mexican taxes. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of, units or ADSs.
United States Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. A U.S. holder of units or ADSs may, under certain circumstances, be subject to “information reporting” and “backup withholding” with respect to certain payments to such U.S. holder, such as dividends or the proceeds of a sale or disposition of units or ADSs unless such holder (1) comes within certain exempt categories and demonstrates this fact when so required, or (2) in the case of backup withholding, provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amount withheld under these rules does not constitute a separate tax and will be creditable against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets. Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year, or US$75,000 at any time during the taxable year, are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on IRS Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer (which would include the units and ADSs) that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of these rules to their investment in the units or ADSs, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.
U.S. Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Holders
Taxation of Dividends and Capital Gains. Subject to the discussion below under “United States Backup Withholding and Information Reporting,” a holder of units or ADSs that is not a U.S. holder (a “non-U.S. holder”) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on dividends received on the units or ADSs, on any gain realized on the sale of units or ADSs.
United States Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. While non-U.S. holders generally are exempt from information reporting and backup withholding, a non-U.S. holder may, in certain circumstances, be required to comply with certain information and identification procedures in order to prove this exemption.

Filings we make electronically with the SEC are available to the public on the Internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and at our website at www.coca-colafemsa.com (this URL is intended to be an inactive textual reference only.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative financial instruments with the purpose of (1) achieving a desired liability structure with a balanced risk profile, (2) managing the exposure to raw material costs and (3) hedging balance sheet and cash flow exposures to foreign currency fluctuation. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or profit-generating purposes. We track the fair value (mark to market) of our derivative financial instruments and its possible changes using scenario analyses.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk exists principally with respect to our indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates. As of December 31, 2021, we had total indebtedness of Ps.85,782 million, of which 93.4% bore interest at fixed interest rates and 6.6% bore interest at variable interest rates. After giving effect to our swap contracts, as of December 31, 2021, 20.4% (or 15.2% calculated based on the weighted average life of our outstanding debt), was variable-rate. The interest rate on our variable rate debt denominated in Mexican pesos has historically been determined by reference to the TIIE; the interest rate on our variable rate debt denominated in Colombian pesos is generally determined by reference to the Banking Reference Index, or IBR for its initials in Spanish; the interest rate on our variable rate debt denominated in Argentine pesos is generally determined by reference to the Buenos Aires Deposits of Large Amounts Rate, or BADLAR; and the interest rate on our variable rate debt denominated in Brazilian reais is generally determined by reference to the Brazilian Interbank Deposit Rate (Certificado de Depósitos Interfinanceiros). If these reference rates increase, our interest payments would consequently increase.
The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, without giving effect to interest rate swaps. The table presents weighted average interest rates by expected contractual maturity dates. Weighted average variable rates are based on the reference rates on December 31, 2021, plus spreads, contracted by us. The instruments’ actual payments are denominated in U.S. dollars, Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais, Colombian pesos, Argentine pesos and Uruguayan pesos. All of the payments in the table are presented in Mexican pesos, our reporting currency, converted at an exchange rate of Ps.20.58 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar reported by Banco de México quoted to us by dealers for the settlement of obligations in foreign currencies on December 31, 2021.
The table below also includes the fair value of total debt based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using rates currently offered for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Furthermore, the fair value of notes payable is based on quoted market prices on December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value represents a loss amount of Ps.2,556 million.

(1) Interest rates are weighted average contractual annual rates.
A hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable change of 100 basis points in the average interest rate applicable to our variable-rate financial instruments held during 2021 would have increased our interest expense by Ps.160 million, or 2.6% over our interest expense of 2021, assuming no additional debt is incurred during such period, in each case after giving effect to all of our interest rate swap and cross-currency swap agreements.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our principal exchange rate risk involves changes in the value of the local currencies of each country where we operate, relative to the U.S. dollar. In 2021, the percentage of our consolidated total revenues was denominated as follows:
Total Revenues by Currency in 2021

Currency | %
Mexican peso | 48.6
Brazilian real | 27.2
Central America(1) | 10.8
Colombian peso | 7.3
Argentine peso | 4.3
Uruguayan peso | 1.7

(1) Includes Guatemalan Quetzales, Nicaraguan Cordobas, Costa Rican Colones and Panamanian Balboas.
90

We estimate that approximately 18.1% of our consolidated costs of goods sold are denominated in or linked to the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of our costs denominated in a foreign currency, other than the functional currency of each country where we operate, are denominated in U.S. dollars. During 2021, we entered into forwards to hedge part of our Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Colombian peso, and Argentine peso fluctuation risk relative to our raw material costs denominated in U.S. dollars. We selectively hedge our exposure to the U.S. dollar with respect to certain local currencies, our U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations and the purchase of certain U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials. These instruments are considered hedges for accounting purposes. As of December 31, 2021, 53.5% of our indebtedness was denominated in Mexican pesos, 14.7% in Brazilian reais, 27.9% in U.S. dollars, 1.7% in Uruguayan pesos, 1.7% in Colombian pesos and 0.6% in Argentine pesos (including the effects of our derivative contracts as of December 31, 2021, including cross currency swaps from U.S. dollars to Mexican pesos and U.S. dollars to Brazilian reais). Decreases in the value of the different currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will increase the cost of our foreign currency-denominated operating costs and expenses and of the debt service obligations with respect to our foreign currency-denominated debt. See also “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors—Depreciation of the local currencies of the countries where we operate relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our financial condition and results.”
A hypothetical and instantaneous 10.0% depreciation in the value of each local currency in the countries where we operate relative to the U.S. dollar occurring on December 31, 2021, would have resulted in a foreign exchange gain of Ps.672 million, based on our U.S. dollar-denominated indebtedness, cross-currency swap agreements and U.S. dollar cash balance.
As of April 4, 2022, the currencies of all the countries where we operate have appreciated or depreciated relative to the U.S. dollar compared to December 31, 2021 as follows:

| Exchange Rate As of April 4, 2022 |  | Depreciation or (Appreciation)
Mexico | 19.84 |  | (3.30) | %
Guatemala | 7.67 |  | (0.57) | %
Nicaragua | 35.7 |  | 0.51 | %
Costa Rica | 667.86 |  | 3.50 | %
Panama | 1 |  | — | %
Colombia | 3774.79 |  | (5.18) | %
Brazil | 4.62 |  | (17.26) | %
Argentina | 111.57 |  | 8.62 | %
Uruguay | 41.38 |  | (7.41) | %

A hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable 10.0% devaluation in the value of the currencies of each of the countries where we operate relative to the Mexican pesos as of December 31, 2021, would produce a reduction in equity of approximately the following amounts:

| Reduction in Equity
| (in millions of Mexican pesos)
Colombia | 474

Item 12.D. American Depositary Shares
The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the depositary for the ADSs. Holders of ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs, are required to pay various fees to the depositary, and the depositary may refuse to provide any service for which a fee is assessed until the applicable fee has been paid.
ADS holders are required to pay the depositary amounts in respect of expenses incurred by the depositary or its agents on behalf of ADS holders, including expenses arising from compliance with applicable law, taxes or other governmental charges, cable, telex and facsimile transmission, or conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars. The depositary may decide in its sole discretion to seek payment by either billing holders or by deducting the fee from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions.
ADS holders are also required to pay additional fees for certain services provided by the depositary, as set forth in the table below.

Depositary service | Fee payable by ADS holders
Issuance and delivery of ADRs, including in connection with share distributions | Up to US$5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof)
Withdrawal of shares underlying ADSs | Up to US$5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof)
Registration for the transfer of shares | Registration or transfer fees that may from time to time be in effect

In addition, holders may be required to pay a fee for the distribution or sale of securities. Such fee (which may be deducted from such proceeds) would be for an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the fee for the issuance of ADSs that would be charged as if the securities were treated as deposited shares and (2) the amount of such proceeds.
Direct and indirect reimbursements by the depositary
The depositary may reimburse us for certain expenses we incur in connection with the ADS program, subject to a ceiling agreed between us and the depositary. These reimbursable expenses may include listing fees, fees payable to service providers for the distribution of material to ADR holders and dividend fees. For the year ended December 31, 2021, this amount was US$316,524.08.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions or our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Controls—Integrated framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.
(c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V.
Opinion on internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes, and our report dated April 8, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Mexico according to the “Codigo de Etica Profesional del Instituto Mexicano de Contadores Publicos” (“IMCP Code”), and the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IFRS). A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 16.F. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Item 16.G. Corporate Governance
Pursuant to Rule 303A.11 of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), we are required to provide a summary of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required for U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. We are a Mexican corporation with shares listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange. Our corporate governance practices are governed by our bylaws, the Mexican Securities Market Law and the regulations issued by the CNBV. We also disclose the extent to which we comply with the Mexican Code of Best Corporate Practices (Código de Mejores Prácticas Corporativas), which was created by a group of Mexican business leaders and was endorsed by the BMV.
96

The table below discloses the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE standards.

NYSE Standards | Our Corporate Governance Practices
Directors Independence: A majority of the board of directors must be independent. There is an exemption for “controlled companies” (companies in which more than 50.0% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company rather than the public), which would include our company if we were a U.S. issuer. | Directors Independence: Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law, we are required to have a board of directors with a maximum of 21 members, 25.0% of whom must be independent. The Mexican Securities Market Law sets forth, in Article 26, the definition of “independence,” which differs from the one set forth in Section 303A.02 of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE. Generally, under the Mexican Securities Market Law, a director is not independent if such director: (i) is an employee or a relevant officer of the company or its subsidiaries; (ii) is an individual with significant influence over the company or its subsidiaries; (iii) is a shareholder or participant of the controlling group of the company; (iv) is a client, supplier, debtor, creditor, partner or employee of an important client, supplier, debtor or creditor of the company; or (v) is a family member of any of the aforementioned persons. In accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law, our shareholders are required to make a determination as to the independence of our directors at an ordinary meeting of our shareholders, though the CNBV may challenge that determination. Our board of directors is not required to make a determination as to the independence of our directors.
Executive sessions: Non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. | Executive sessions: Under our bylaws and applicable Mexican law, our non-management and independent directors are not required to meet in executive sessions. Our bylaws state that the board of directors will meet at least four times a year, following the end of each quarter, to discuss our operating results and progress in achieving strategic objectives. Our board of directors can also hold extraordinary meetings.
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee: A nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors is required. As a “controlled company,” we would be exempt from this requirement if we were a U.S. issuer. | Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee: We are not required to have a nominating committee, and the Mexican Code of Best Corporate Practices does not provide for a nominating committee. However, Mexican law requires us to have a Corporate Practices Committee with at least 3 members. Our Corporate Practices Committee is comprised of four members, and as required by the Mexican Securities Market Law and our bylaws, the four members are independent and the chairman of this committee is elected by our shareholders meeting.
Compensation committee: A compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors is required. As a “controlled company,” we would be exempt from this requirement if we were a U.S. issuer. | Compensation committee: We do not have a committee that exclusively oversees compensation issues. Our Corporate Practices Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, reviews and recommends management compensation programs in order to ensure that they are aligned with shareholders’ interests and corporate performance.
Audit committee: Listed companies must have an audit committee satisfying the independence and other requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the NYSE independence standards. | Audit committee: Mexican law requires us to have an Audit Committee with at least three members. We have an Audit Committee of three members. As required by the Mexican Securities Market Law, each member of the Audit Committee is an independent director, and its chairman is elected by our shareholders meeting.
Equity compensation plan: Equity compensation plans require shareholder approval, subject to limited exemptions. | Equity compensation plan: Shareholder approval is not required under Mexican law or our bylaws for the adoption and amendment of an equity compensation plan. Such plans should provide for general application to all executives.
Code of business conduct and ethics: Corporate governance guidelines and a code of conduct and ethics are required, with disclosure of any waiver for directors or executive officers. | Code of business conduct and ethics: We have adopted a code of ethics, within the meaning of Item 16.B of SEC Form 20-F. Our code of ethics applies to the members of our board of directors, employees and all persons acting on behalf of Coca-Cola FEMSA, as well as any third party with which Coca-Cola FEMSA engages. Our code of ethics is available on our website at www.coca-colafemsa.com. If we amend the provisions of our code of ethics, or if we grant any waiver of such provisions, we will disclose such amendment or waiver on our website at the same address.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) and our report dated April 8, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Mexico according to the “Codigo de Etica Profesional del Instituto Mexicano de Contadores Publicos” (“IMCP Code”), and the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

|  | Impairment of distribution rights and goodwill
Description of the Matter |  | At December 31, 2021, the Company has distribution rights and goodwill with an aggregate carrying value of approximately Ps. 98,303 million. As explained in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, distribution rights and goodwill are tested for impairment annually at the cash generating unit level (CGUs). Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. The Company has estimated the recoverable amount of the CGU by calculating the CGU value-in-use to test for impairment. Auditing management’s annual distribution rights and goodwill impairment test was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the value-in-use of the CGUs. In particular, the value-in-use estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions, such as the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rate, operating margin, working capital and terminal value, which are affected by expected future market or economic conditions, particularly those in emerging markets.

F-1

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |  | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s distribution rights and goodwill impairment review processes, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above, projected financial information and the valuation model used to develop such estimates. To test the estimated value-in-use of the Company’s CGUs, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and projected financial information by (i) comparing them to actual operating results and obtaining appropriate explanations for variances, (ii) examining and challenging management’s support for the current estimates and projections, (iii) comparing them to industry and economic trends and (iv) evaluating whether changes to the Company’s business model, customer base or product mix and other factors would significantly affect the projected financial information and, thus the value-in-use of the CGUs that would result from changes in the assumptions, focusing on the projected compound annual growth rates and weighted average cost of capital, mainly. We also involved our valuation specialist to assist in the evaluation of the significant assumptions and methodology used by the Company. Furthermore, we assessed the related disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.
|  | Recoverability of deferred tax assets
Description of the Matter |  | As described in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had recognized deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately Ps. 7,244 million and recoverable tax credits of approximately Ps. 1,394 million. The NOLs were generated primarily by the Brazilian and Mexican operations and attributable to tax deductions of the amortization of goodwill generated from past business acquisitions in Brazil and due to remeasurement effects of foreign currency denominated borrowings by the Mexican operation. The recoverable tax credits correspond to income tax credits generated in Mexico arising from dividends received from foreign subsidiaries. Auditing management’s assessment of the realizability of its deferred tax assets arising from NOLs and recoverable tax credits involved complex auditor judgment because management’s estimates of realizability is based on assessing the probability, timing and sufficiency of future taxable profits, expected reversals of taxable temporary differences and available tax planning opportunities that will create future taxable profits. These estimates are sensitive because they can be affected by variabilities in management’s projections and future market and economic conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |  | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to the realizability of deferred tax assets, including controls over management’s projections of future taxable income, analysis of the scheduled future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and the identification of available tax planning opportunities. To test the realizability of deferred tax assets arising from NOLs and recoverable tax credits, we performed audit procedures, among others, on the review of management´s estimates of future taxable income in Brazil and Mexico by assessing the estimates underlying the projected financial information, such as growth rates, discount rates, and other key assumptions and comparing them with the industry and economic trends and evaluating whether changes to the Company’s business model and other factors would significantly affect the projected financial information. We involved our internal specialists in performing these procedures. In addition, with the assistance of our tax professionals, we assessed the application of the tax laws, including the Company’s future tax planning opportunities and tested the Company´s scheduling of the timing and amounts of reversal of taxable temporary differences. We also evaluated the related disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Basis of Preparation
2.1 Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer John Anthony Santa Maria Otazua and Chief Financial Officer Constantino Spas Montesinos on February 23, 2022. These consolidated financial statements and notes were then approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 25, 2022 and by the Shareholders meeting on March 28, 2022. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance in the Company’s annual report on form 20-F by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer on April 8, 2022 and subsequent events have been considered through that date (see Note 27).
2.2 Basis of measurement and presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:
• Derivative financial instruments
• Trust assets of post-employment and other non-current employee benefit plans
F-10

The carrying values of recognized assets and liabilities that are designated as hedged items in fair value hedges that would otherwise be carried at amortized cost are adjusted to record changes in the fair values attributable to the risks that are being hedged in effective hedge relationship.
The financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period.
2.2.1 Presentation of consolidated income statement
The Company classifies its costs and expenses by function in the consolidated income statement in order to conform to industry practices.
2.2.2 Presentation of consolidated statements of cash flows
The Company presents its consolidated statement of cash flows using the indirect method.
2.2.3 Convenience translation to U.S. dollars ($)
The consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of Mexican pesos (“Ps.”) and rounded to the nearest million unless stated otherwise. However, solely for the convenience of the readers, the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 were converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of Ps. 20.5140 per U.S. dollar as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on December 31, 2021, the last date in 2021 for which information is available. This arithmetic conversion should not be construed a representation that the amounts expressed in Mexican pesos may be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other exchange rate. As of March 16, 2022 (the issuance date of these financial statements) such exchange rate was Ps. 20.7280 per U.S. dollar, a depreciation of 1.04% since December 31, 2021.
2.3 Critical accounting judgments and estimates
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily observable from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements which have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
2.3.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
2.3.1.1 Impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets, goodwill and other depreciable long-lived assets
Intangible assets with indefinite life as well as goodwill are subject to impairment tests annually or whenever indicators of impairment are present. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales agreements in arm’s length transactions of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. In order to determine whether such assets are impaired, the Company calculates an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which such assets have been allocated. Impairment losses are recognized in current earnings for the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or CGU and its value in use in the period the related impairment is determined.
The Company assesses at each reporting date or annually whether there is an indication that a depreciable long-lived asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU in which the asset is assigned exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount, which is determined based on its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected
F-11

to be generated from the use of an asset or CGU are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are considered, if available. If recent market transactions are not available, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the Company’s CGUs, including a sensitivity analysis, are further explained in Notes 3.16 and 11.
2.3.1.2 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives
Property, plant and equipment, including returnable bottles which are expected to provide benefits over a period of more than one year, as well as intangible assets with definite useful lives are depreciated/amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company bases its estimates on the experience of its technical personnel as well as its experience in the industry for similar assets; see Notes 3.13, 10 and 11.
2.3.1.3 Post-employment and other non-current employee benefits
The Company regularly or annually evaluates the reasonableness of the assumptions used in its post-employment and other non-current employee benefit computations. Information about such assumptions is described in Note 15.
2.3.1.4 Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for unused tax losses and other credits and regularly reviews them for recoverability, based on its judgment regarding the probability of the expected timing and level of future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. See Note 23.
2.3.1.5 Tax, labor and legal contingencies and provisions
The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to tax, labor and legal proceedings as described in Note 24. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental actions. Management periodically assesses the probability of loss for such contingencies, accrues a provision and/ or discloses the relevant circumstances, as appropriate. If the potential loss of any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a provision for the estimated loss. Management’s judgment must be exercised to determine the likelihood of such a loss and an estimate of the amount, due to the subjective nature of the loss.
The Company operates in numerous tax jurisdictions and is subject to periodic tax audits, in the normal course of business, by local tax authorities on a range of tax matters in relation to corporate tax, transfer pricing and indirect taxes. The impact of changes in local tax regulations and ongoing inspections by local tax authorities could materially impact the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Where the amount of tax payable is uncertain, the Company establishes provisions based on management’s estimates with respect to the likelihood of material tax exposures and the probable amount of the liability.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
The amount of uncertain income tax positions is included in Note 24.6.
2.3.1.6 Valuation of financial instruments
The Company is required to measure all derivative financial instruments at fair value.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined considering quoted prices in recognized markets. If such instruments are not traded, fair value is determined by applying techniques based upon technical models supported by sufficient, reliable and verifiable data, recognized in the financial sector. The Company bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations. Management believes that the chosen valuation techniques and assumptions used are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments. See Note 19.
2.3.1.7 Business combinations
F-12

Businesses combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company to and liabilities assumed by the Company from the former owners of the acquiree, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognized and measured at their fair value, except when:
• deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes and IAS 19, Employee Benefits, respectively;
• liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Company entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2, Share- based Payment at the acquisition date, see Note 3.24;
• assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard; and
• Indemnifiable assets are recognized at the acquisition date on the same basis as the indemnifiable liability subject to any contractual limitations.
For each acquisition, management’s judgment must be exercised to determine the fair value of the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, applying estimates or judgments in techniques used, especially in forecasting CGUs' cash flows, in the computation of weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and estimation of inflation during the operation of intangible assets with indefinite life, mainly, distribution rights.
2.3.1.8 Investments in associates
If the Company holds, directly or indirectly, 20 per cent or more of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that it has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. If the Company holds, directly or indirectly, less than 20 per cent of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the Company does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated. Decisions regarding the propriety of utilizing the equity method of accounting for a less than 20 per cent-owned corporate investee require a careful evaluation of voting rights and their impact on the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence. Management considers the existence of the following circumstances, which may indicate that the Company is able to exercise significant influence over a less than 20 per cent-owned corporate investee:
• representation on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;
• participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
• material transactions between the Company and the investee;
• interchange of managerial personnel; or
• provision to the investee of essential technical information.
Management also considers the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or currently convertible when assessing whether the Company has significant influence.
In addition, the Company evaluates the following indicators that provide evidence of significant influence:
• the Company’s extent of ownership is significant relative to other shareholdings (i.e. a lack of concentration of other shareholders);
• the Company’s significant shareholders, its parent, fellow subsidiaries, or officers of the Company, hold additional investment in the investee; and
• the Company is a part of an investee’s board of director committees, such as the executive committee or the finance committee.
2.3.1.9 Joint Arrangements
An arrangement can be a joint arrangement even though not all of its parties have joint control of the arrangement. When the Company is a party to an arrangement it shall assess whether the contractual arrangement gives all the parties, or a group of the parties, control of the arrangement collectively; joint control exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties that control the arrangement collectively. Management needs to apply judgment when assessing whether all the parties, or a group of the parties, have joint control of an arrangement (see Note 3.1).
2.3.1.10 Leases
F-13

In connection with its accounting for arrangements that contain a lease, the Company, as a lessor considers information on assumptions and estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in an adjustment to the carrying value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and related statement of income accounts, such as:
•Determination of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease agreement or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease agreement before its termination date, considering all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise, or not, such options, taking into account whether the lease option is enforceable, when the Company has the unilateral right to apply the option in question.
•The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in its lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency). The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit rating).
2.4 Changes in accounting policies
The Company has applied the following amendments to the standards on January 1, 2021. None of the amendments had a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements:
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16
The IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. Disclosures, which concludes phases of its work to respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate.
Amendment to IFRS 16 - Covid-19 related rental concessions
The amendment allows an optional practical expedient that simplifies how tenants account for rental concessions, arising as a direct consequence for the COVID-19 pandemic.
The practical expedient can only be applied if:
•The new consideration is substantially equal to or lesser than the original consideration;
•the decrease in the lease payments refers to rental payments that occur before June 30, 2022; and
•no other substantive changes to the lease terms have been made.
Those lessees who apply this practical expedient must disclose:
•The fact that the practical expedient has been applied to all eligible rental concessions and, if applicable to some selected ones; the nature of the contracts to which they have applied it; and
•the amount recognized in results for the reporting period that arises from the application of the practical expedient.
This amendment was intended to apply until 30 June 2021, but as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is continuing, on 31 March 2021, the IASB extended the period of application of the practical expedient to 30 June 2022.
This amendment does not provide a practical expedient for lessors. Lessors are required to continue evaluating whether the rental concessions are lease modifications and justify them accordingly.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies
3.1 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has:
•Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
•Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
•The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
•The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
•Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
•The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Company are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:
•Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
•Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests
•Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
•Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received
•Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained
•Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss
•Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
3.1.1 Acquisitions of non-controlling interests
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore they are recognized entirely in equity without applying acquisition accounting. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are measured at carrying amount and reflected in shareholders’ equity as part of additional paid-in capital.
3.2 Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company. When evaluating control, the Company considers substantive potential voting rights. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquired. For each business combination, the Company elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the Company’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets of the acquiree and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount
F-15

of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the Company’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in consolidated net income.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete and discloses that its allocation is preliminary in nature. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (not greater than 12 months from the acquisition date), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
Sometimes obtaining control of an acquiree in which equity interest is held immediately before the acquisition date is considered as a business combination achieved in stages also referred to as a step acquisition. The Company re-measures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognizes the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss. Also, the changes in the value of equity interest in the acquiree recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized on the same basis as required if the Company had disposed directly of the previously held equity interest.
The Company sometimes obtains control of an acquiree without transferring consideration. The acquisition method of accounting for a business combination applies to those combinations, which may take the following forms:
i.The acquiree repurchases a sufficient number of its own shares for the Company to obtain control.
i.Minority veto rights expire that previously kept the Company from controlling an acquiree in which it held the majority voting rights.
ii.The Company and the acquiree agree to combine their businesses by contract in which it transfers no consideration in exchange for control and no equity interest is held in the acquiree, either on the acquisition date or previously.
3.3 Foreign currencies and consolidation of foreign subsidiaries, investments in associates and joint ventures
In preparing the financial statements of each individual subsidiary, associate and joint venture, transactions in currencies other than the individual entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-measured.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
•The variations in the net investment in foreign subsidiaries generated by exchange rate fluctuation are included in other comprehensive income, which is recorded in equity as part of the cumulative exchange differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and associates within the accumulated other comprehensive income.
•Intercompany financing balances with foreign subsidiaries are classified as non-current investments, since there is no plan to pay such financing in the foreseeable future. Monetary position and exchange rate fluctuation regarding this financing is included in the exchange differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and associates, which is recorded in equity as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income.
•Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.
Foreign exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss. Their classification in the income statement depends on their nature. Differences arising from fluctuations related to operating activities are presented in the “other expenses” line (see Note 20) while fluctuations related to non-operating activities such as financing activities are presented as part of “foreign exchange gain (loss)” line in the income statement.
For incorporation into the Company’s consolidated financial statements, each foreign subsidiary, associate or joint venture’s individual financial statements are translated into Mexican pesos, as follows:
•For hyperinflationary economic environments, the inflation effects of the origin country are recognized pursuant to IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, and subsequently translated into Mexican pesos using the year-end exchange rate for the consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated income statement and comprehensive income; and
F-16

•For non-inflationary economic environments, assets and liabilities are translated into Mexican pesos using the year-end exchange rate, equity is translated into Mexican pesos using the historical exchange rate, and the income statement and comprehensive income is translated using the exchange rate at the date of each transaction. The Company uses the average exchange rate of each month only if the exchange rate does not fluctuate significantly.
In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of exchange differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and associates are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e., partial disposals of associates or joint ventures that do not result in the Company losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the exchange differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and associates is reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in equity as part of the exchange differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and associates.
The translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into Mexican pesos is for consolidation purposes and does not indicate that the Company could realize or settle the reported value of those assets and liabilities in Mexican pesos. Additionally, this does not indicate that the Company could return or distribute the reported Mexican peso value in equity to its shareholders.

3.4 Recognition of the effects of inflation in countries with hyperinflationary economic environments
Beginning on July 1, 2018, Argentina became a hyperinflationary economy because, among some other economic factors, the last three years’ cumulative inflation in Argentina exceeded 100% according to the several economic indexes that exist in the country. For being considered hyperinflationary, the financial information for our Argentine subsidiary has been adjusted to recognize the inflationary effects since January 1, 2018 through:
•Using inflation factors to restate non-monetary assets, such as inventories, property, plant and equipment, net, intangible assets, net, including related costs and expenses when such assets are consumed or depreciated.
•Recognizing the monetary position gain or loss in consolidated net income.
The Company restates the financial information of subsidiaries that operate in hyperinflationary economic environment using the consumer price index (CPI) of each country.
The FACPCE (Federacion Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Economicas) approved on September 29, 2018 and published on October 5, 2018, a resolution which defines, among other things, that the index price to determine the restatement
F-17

coefficient (Based on a series that applies the NCPI from January with the IPIM until this date, and computing November and December 2015 using the CPI- of Ciudad del Gran Buenos Aires (CGBA) variation).
As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the operations of the Company are classified as follows:

Country | Cumulative Inflation 2019-2021 | Type of Economy | Cumulative Inflation 2018-2020 | Type of Economy | Cumulative Inflation 2017-2019 | Type of Economy
Mexico | 13.9% | Non-hyperinflationary | 11.2% | Non-hyperinflationary | 13.2% | Non-hyperinflationary
Guatemala | 11.7% | Non-hyperinflationary | 10.9% | Non-hyperinflationary | 11.8% | Non-hyperinflationary
Costa Rica | 5.8% | Non-hyperinflationary | 4.5% | Non-hyperinflationary | 5.8% | Non-hyperinflationary
Panama | 0.9% | Non-hyperinflationary | (1.5)% | Non-hyperinflationary | 0.5% | Non-hyperinflationary
Colombia | 11.4% | Non-hyperinflationary | 8.8% | Non-hyperinflationary | 11.0% | Non-hyperinflationary
Nicaragua | 17.1% | Non-hyperinflationary | 13.5% | Non-hyperinflationary | 15.6% | Non-hyperinflationary
Argentina | 216.1% | Hyperinflationary | 209.2% | Hyperinflationary | 179.4% | Hyperinflationary
Brazil | 20.0% | Non-hyperinflationary | 13.1% | Non-hyperinflationary | 11.1% | Non-hyperinflationary
Uruguay | 28.5% | Non-hyperinflationary | 28.5% | Non-hyperinflationary | 22.0% | Non-hyperinflationary

3.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash consists of deposits in bank accounts which generate interest on the available balance. Cash equivalents are mainly represented by short-term bank deposits and fixed income investments (overnight), both with maturities of six months or less and their carrying values approximate fair value.
The Company also maintains restricted cash held as collateral to meet certain contractual obligations (see Note 4). Restricted cash is presented within other current financial assets given that the restrictions are short-term in nature.
3.6 Financial assets
Financial assets are classified within the following business models depending on the Management’s objective: (i) "hold to maturity to collect contractual cash flows", (ii) "hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell financial assets" and (iii) "Others or hold to negotiate" or as derivatives assigned in hedging instruments with an effective hedge, as appropriate. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
The Company performs a portfolio – level assessment of the business model objective for which a financial asset is held to reflect the best way in which the business manages the financial asset and the manner in which the information is provided to the management of the Company. The information that is considered within the evaluation includes:
•The policies and objectives of the Company in relation to the portfolio and the practical implementation of said policies;
•Performance and evaluation of the Company's portfolio including accounts receivable;
•Risks that affect the performance of the business model and how those risks are managed;
•Any compensation related to the performance of the portfolio; and
•Frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in previous periods together with the reasons for said sales and expectations regarding future sales activities.
The Company's financial assets include cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, investments with maturities of more than six months, loans and accounts receivable, derivative financial instruments and other financial assets.
For the initial recognition of a financial asset, the Company measures it at fair value plus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the purchase thereof, in the event that said asset isn’t measured at fair value through profit or loss. Accounts receivable that do not have a significant financing component are measured and recognized at the transaction price when they are generated. The rest of the financial assets are recognized only when the Company is a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The fair value of a financial asset is measured using assumptions that would be used by market participants when valuing the asset, assuming that market participants act in the best economic interest.
F-18

Upon the initial recognition, the financial asset is also classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value with changes in other comprehensive income – debt or equity investments – and fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the objective by which the financial asset is acquired.
Financial assets are not reclassified after their initial recognition unless the Company changes the business model to manage the financial assets; in which case, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
3.6.1 Financial assets at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the following two conditions and isn’t designated as fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL):
•It’s managed within a business model whose objective is to maintain financial assets to recover the contractual cash flows; and
•The contractual terms are only payments at specified dates of the principal and interest on the amount of the outstanding principal, or solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”).
The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount of the initial recognition minus the principal payments, plus or minus the accumulated amortization using the effective interest rate method of any difference between the initial amount and the amount as of the maturity and, adjusted for impairment loss. The financial product, exchange fluctuation and impairment are recognized in results. Any profit or loss is also recognized in the same way in results.
3.6.1.1 Effective interest rate method (ERR)
The effective interest rate method is a method to calculate the amortized cost of loans, accounts receivables and other financial assets (designated as held-to-maturity) and to allocate interest income / expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that represents an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on the initial recognition.
3.6.2 Financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”)
A financial asset is measured as FVOCI if it meets the following two conditions and isn’t designated as FVTPL:
•It´s managed within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and sell the financial assets; and
•The contractual terms are solely principle and interest payments.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The financial product calculated using the IRR, the exchange rate fluctuation and the impairment are recognized in profit and loss. Other gains and losses, related to changes in fair value are recognized in OCI. In cases of derecognition or reclassification, the accumulated gains and losses in OCI are reclassified to profit and loss.
In the initial recognition of an equity instrument that isn’t held for trading, under the "other" business model, the Company may irrevocably choose to present changes in the fair value of the investment in OCI. This choice is made at the level of each investment. Equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as profit in profit and loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery part of the investment cost. Other net gains and losses, related to changes in fair value, are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to consolidated net income in subsequent periods.
3.6.3 Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets designated as FVTPL include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated at initial recognition as FVTPL. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired to be sold in the short term. Derivatives, including implicit derivatives are also designated as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments as defined in IFRS 9. Financial assets as FVTPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value with the net changes in the fair value presented as financial expense (negative changes in fair value) or financial income (positive net changes in fair value) in profit and loss statement.
3.6.4 Evaluation that contractual cash flows are solely principal and interest payments (“SPPI”)
In order to classify a financial asset within one of the three different categories, the Company determines whether the contractual cash flows of the asset are solely principal and interest payments. The Company considers the contractual terms of the financial instrument
F-19

and whether the financial asset contains any contractual term that could change the timing or amount of the contractual cash flows in such a way that it would not meet the SPPI criteria. To make this evaluation, the Company considers the following:
•Contingent events that would change the cash flows amount or timing;
•Terms that can adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable interest rate characteristics;
•Payment and extension features; and
•Characteristics that limit the Company's right to obtain cash flows from certain assets.
A prepaid feature is consistent with the characteristics of SPPIs if the prepayment amount substantially represents the amounts of the principal and interest pending payment, which could include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, a financial asset acquired or originated with a premium or discount to its contractual amount and in the initial recognition the fair value of the prepaid characteristic is insignificant, the asset will pass the test of the contractual characteristics of cash flow if the amount prepaid represents substantially the contractual amount and accrued interest (but not paid); which may include additional compensation for the early contract termination.
3.6.5 Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables with a stated term (including trade and other receivables) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the interest income on loans and receivables recognized in the interest income line item within the consolidated income statements is Ps. 6, Ps. 6 and Ps. 5, respectively.
3.6.6 Other financial assets
Other financial assets include long term accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments. Other financial assets with a stated term are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
3.6.7 Financial assets impairment
The Company recognizes impairment due to expected credit loss (ECL) in:
•Financial assets measured at amortized cost;
•Debt investments measured at FVOCI;
•Other contractual assets
Impairment losses on accounts receivable, contractual assets and leasing receivables are always measured at an amount equal to ECL for the remaining life, whether or not it has a significant financing component. The Company applies the criteria to all accounts receivable, contractual assets and leasing credits, but it can be applied separately to accounts receivable and contractual assets of financial leases.
The Company measures impairment losses at an amount equal to ECL for the remaining life, except for the following:
•Debt instruments determined to be of low credit risk; and
•Other debt instruments and bank balances for which the credit risk (risk of non-recoverability over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since the initial recognition.
In determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and estimating the ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes qualitative and quantitative information and analysis, based on historical experience and an informed credit assessment of the Company.
The impairment loss is a weighted estimate of the probability of expected loss. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the present value of any lack of liquidity (the difference between the contractual cash flows that correspond to the Company and the cash flows that management expects to receive). The expected credit loss is discounted using the original financial asset effective interest rate.
F-20

The Company annually evaluates the reasonableness to determine if there was objective evidence of impairment. Some objective evidence that financial assets were impaired includes:
•Non-payment or delinquency of a debtor;
•Restructuring of an amount corresponding to the Company under terms that the Company would not otherwise consider;
•Indicators that a debtor or client will enter into bankruptcy;
•Adverse changes in the status of debtor or client payments;
•The disappearance of an active market for an instrument due to financial difficulties; or
•Evident information indicating that there was a measurable decrease in the expected cash flows of a group of financial assets.
For an investment in an equity instrument, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or prolonged decrease in its fair value lower than the carrying amount.
The impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost reduces the carrying amount and for financial assets measured at FVOCI, the impairment loss is recognized within OCI.
3.6.8 Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:
•The rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; or
•The Company has transferred its rights to receive the asset cash flows or has assumed an obligation to pay the full received cash flows without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred or retained substantially all the asset risks and benefits, but has transferred control of the asset.
3.6.9 Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets are required to be offset against financial liabilities and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if the Company:
•Currently has an enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and
•Intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously
3.7 Derivative financial instruments
The Company is exposed to different risks related to cash flows, liquidity, market and third-party credit. As a result, the Company contracts different derivative financial instruments in order to reduce its exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and other currencies, and interest rate fluctuations associated with its borrowings denominated in foreign currencies and the exposure to the risk of fluctuation in the costs of certain raw materials.
The Company values and records all derivative financial instruments and hedging activities in the consolidated statement of financial position as either an asset or liability measured at fair value, considering quoted prices in recognized markets. If such instruments are not traded in a formal market, fair value is determined by applying techniques based upon technical models supported by sufficient, reliable and verifiable market data, recognized in the financial sector. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded each year in current earnings or otherwise as a component of cumulative other comprehensive income based on the item being hedged and the effectiveness of the hedge.
3.7.1 Hedge accounting
The Company designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives to cover foreign currency risk, as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
F-21

3.7.2 Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in OCI and accumulated under the hedging valuation of the effective portion of derivative financial instruments. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in consolidated net income and is included in the market value gain (loss) on financial instruments line item within the consolidated statements of income.
Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to consolidated net income in the periods when the hedged item is recognized in profit and loss, in the same line of the consolidated statement of income as the recognized hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Company revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in consolidated net income. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in consolidated net income.
3.7.3 Fair value hedges
For hedge items carried at fair value the change in the fair value of a hedging derivative is recognized in profit and loss as foreign exchange gain or loss, as they relate to foreign currency risk. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognized in the statement of profit or loss as foreign exchange gain or loss.
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortized cost, change in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedge is recognized first as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item and then any adjustment to carrying value is amortized through profit or loss over the remaining term of the hedge using the EIR (Effective Interest Rate) method. EIR amortization may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When an unrecognized firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit and loss.
3.7.4 Hedge of net investment in a foreign business
The Company designates certain debt securities as a hedge of its net investment in foreign subsidiaries and applies hedge accounting to foreign currency differences arising between the functional currency of its investments abroad and the functional currency of the holding company (Mexican peso), regardless of whether the net investment is held directly or through a sub-holding. Differences in foreign currency that arise in the conversion of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income in the exchange differences on the translation of foreign operations and associates caption, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized as market value gain or loss on financial instruments within the consolidated income statements. When part of the hedge of a net investment is disposed, the corresponding accumulated foreign currency translation effect is recognized as part of the gain or loss on disposal within the consolidated income statement. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 there were no transactions of this nature.
3.8 Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives, and certain non-financial assets such as trust assets of labor obligations at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of bank loans and notes payable carried at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 17.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
•In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
•In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
F-22

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as those described in Note 19 and unquoted liabilities such as debt described in Note 17.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
3.9 Inventories and cost of goods sold
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Inventories represent the acquisition or production cost that is incurred when purchasing or producing a product, and are based on the weighted average cost formula.
Cost of goods sold is based on the weighted average cost of the inventories at the time of sale. Cost of goods sold includes expenses related to the purchase of raw materials used in the production process, as well as labor costs (wages and other benefits), depreciation of production facilities, equipment and other costs, including fuel, electricity, equipment maintenance and inspection.
Management is required to make judgements regarding write-downs to determine the net realizable value of the inventory. These write-downs consider factors such as age and condition of goods as recent market data to assess the estimated future demand for goods. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on the Company´s assessment of the net realizable value of the inventory, with inventory turns remaining similar since the commencement of the pandemic.
F-23

3.10 Held for sale long lived assets and discontinued operations
The Company classifies long lived assets as held for sale when:
a)An asset is expected to be recovered principally through the sale, instead of being recovered through continuous operational use;
b)An asset is maintained as held for its immediately sale; and
c)An asset’s sale is considered as highly probable in its actual condition.
A sale is considered highly probable when:
•Management is engaged with a sales plan;
•An active plan to locate a buyer has been initiated;
•The asset must be actively marketed at a reasonable price related to its fair value; and
•The sale is expected to be completed in less than one year from the date of classification.
The non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying value and the fair value less the disposal cost.
Discontinued operations are the results of operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company’s operations and cash flows that have been disposed or classified as held for sale, and:
•Represent either a separated major line of business or geographic area;
•Are part of a coordinated plan to dispose of a major line of business or a geographic of operations; or
•It is a subsidiary acquired exclusively for the purpose of reselling it.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the continuing operations results and they are presented separately net of tax in the consolidated income.
3.11 Other current assets
Other current assets, which will be realized within a period of less than one year from the reporting date, are comprised of prepaid assets, product promotion and agreements with customers.
Prepaid assets principally consist of advances to suppliers of raw materials, advertising, promotional, leasing and insurance costs, and are recognized as other current assets at the time of the cash disbursement, and are derecognized in the consolidated statement of financial position and recognized in the appropriate consolidated income statement caption when the risks and rewards of the related goods have been transferred to the Company or services have been received, respectively.
The Company has prepaid advertising costs which consist of television and radio advertising airtime paid in advance. These expenses are generally amortized over the period based on the transmission of the television and radio spots. The related production costs are recognized in consolidated income statement as incurred.
The Company has agreements with customers for the right to sell and promote the Company’s products over a certain period. The majority of these agreements have terms of more than one year, and the related costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the contract. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, such amortization aggregated to Ps. 219, Ps. 213 and Ps. 273, respectively.
3.12 Investments in other entities
3.12.1 Investments in associates
Associates are those entities over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but without control over those policies. Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and initially recognized at cost, which comprises the investment’s purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure necessary to acquire it. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. The financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company.
F-24

When the Company’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in the associate, including any advances, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has a legal or constructive obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate.
Goodwill identified at the acquisition date is presented as part of the investment in shares of the associate in the consolidated statement of financial position. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of the Company’s interest in an associate is measured in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for goodwill arising in a business combination, see Note 3.2.
After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an additional impairment loss on its investment in its associate. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associates is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the investment and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in other expenses line in the consolidated statements of income.
3.12.2 Joint arrangements
A joint arrangement is an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Company classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the Company’s rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The Company recognizes its interest in the joint ventures as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method.
Upon loss of joint control over the joint venture, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company does not have an interest in joint operations.
3.12.3 Investment in Venezuela
On December 31, 2017, the Company changed the method of accounting for its investment in Venezuela from consolidation to the fair value method through OCI using Level 3 inputs and recognized as of December 31, 2021 a fair value loss on the investment of Ps. (393). Gains and losses on the investment since January 1, 2018 are recognized in OCI. As of December 31, 2021, fair value of Venezuela investment is Ps. 0.
3.13 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition and/or construction and are presented net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses if any. The borrowing costs related to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.
Major maintenance costs are capitalized as part of total acquisition cost, which imply an increase on the asset useful life. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Construction in progress consists of long-lived assets not yet in service, in other words, that are not yet ready for the purpose that they were bought, built or developed. The Company expects to complete those investments during the following 12 months.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful lives, the components are accounted for and depreciated separately. The Company estimates depreciation rates, considering the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The estimated useful lives of the Company’s principal assets are as follows:

| Years
Buildings | 40 – 50
Machinery and equipment | 10 – 20
Distribution equipment | 7 – 15
Refrigeration equipment | 5 – 7
Returnable bottles | 1.5 – 3
Other equipment | 3 – 10

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
F-25

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds (if any) and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Returnable and non-returnable bottles:
The Company has two types of bottles: returnable and non-returnable.
•Non-returnable: bottles are recorded in the consolidated income statement at the time of the sale of the product.
•Returnable: bottles are classified as long-lived assets as a component of property, plant and equipment. Returnable bottles are recorded at acquisition cost and for countries with hyperinflationary economies, restated according to IAS 29. Depreciation of returnable bottles is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. There are two types of returnable bottles:
◦Those that are in the Company’s control within its facilities, plants and distribution centers; and
◦Those that have been placed in the hands of customers and still belong to the Company.
Returnable bottles that have been placed in the hands of customers are subject to an agreement with a retailer pursuant to which the Company retains ownership. These bottles are monitored by sales personnel during periodic visits to retailers and the Company has the right to charge any breakage identified to the retailer. Bottles that are not subject to such agreements are expensed when placed in the hands of retailers.
The Company’s returnable bottles are depreciated according to their estimated useful lives (3 years for glass bottles and 1.5 years for PET bottles). Deposits received from customers are amortized over the same estimated useful lives of the bottles.
3.14 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance and represent payments whose benefits will be received in future years. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value as at the date of acquisition (see Note 3.2). Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite, in accordance with the period over which the Company expects to receive the benefits.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized and mainly consist of information technology and management system costs incurred during the development stage which are currently in use. Such amounts are capitalized and then amortized using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives. Expenditures that do not fulfill the requirements for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
Amortized intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable through its expected future cash flows.
Intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized and are subject to impairment tests on an annual basis as well as whenever certain circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those intangible assets exceeds their recoverable value.
The Company’s intangible assets with an indefinite life mainly consist of rights to produce and distribute Coca-Cola trademark products in the Company’s territories. These rights are contained in agreements that are standard contracts that The Coca-Cola Company has with its bottlers.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had four bottler agreements in Mexico: (i) Valley of Mexico territory, which is up for renewal in June 2023, (ii) the agreement for the Southeast territory, which is up for renewal in June 2023, (iii) the agreement for the Bajio territory, which is up for renewal in May 2025 and (iv) the agreement for the Golfo territory, which is up for renewal in May 2025. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had one bottler agreement in Brazil, which is up for renewal in October 2027. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had three bottler agreements in Guatemala, which are up for renewal in March 2025 (one contract) and April 2028 (two contracts).
In addition the Company had one bottler agreement in each country which is up for renewal as follows: Argentina, which is up for renewal in September 2024; Colombia, which is up for renewal in June 2024; Panama, which is up for renewal in November 2024; Costa Rica, which is up for renewal in September 2027; Nicaragua, which is up for renewal in May 2026, and Uruguay, which is up for renewal in June 2028.
As of December 31, 2021 our investee KOF Venezuela had one bottler agreement, which is up for renewal in August 2026.
F-26

The bottler agreements are automatically renewable for ten-year terms, subject to the right of either party to give prior notice that it does not wish to renew a specific agreement. In addition, these agreements generally may be terminated in the case of material breach. Termination would prevent the Company from selling Coca-Cola trademark beverages in the affected territory and would have an adverse effect on the Company´s business, financial conditions, results from operations and prospects.
3.15 Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
When the Company is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Company will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
3.16 Impairment of long-lived assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
For goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company tests for impairment on an annual basis and whenever certain circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the related CGU might exceed its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted, as discussed in Note 2.3.1.1.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in consolidated net income.
Where the conditions leading to an impairment loss no longer exist, it is subsequently reversed. That is, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in consolidated net income. Impairment losses related to goodwill are not reversible. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 there was no impairment related to goodwill recognized.
3.17 Leases
In accordance with IFRS 16, the Company evaluates whether a contract is, or contains a lease when the contract transfers the right to control an identified asset during a period in exchange for a consideration.
The Company evaluates whether a contract is a lease agreement when:
•The contract involves the use of an identified asset - this can be specified explicitly or implicitly, and must be physically distinct or represent substantially the entire capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the lessor has substantive substitution rights, the asset is not identified;
•The Company has the right to receive substantially all the economic benefits of the use of the asset throughout the period of use;
•The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset when it has the right to make the most relevant decisions about how, and for what purpose the asset is used. When the use of the asset is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if it: i) it has the right to operate the asset; or ii) it designed the asset in a way that pre-determines for what purpose it will be used.
As a tenant
F-27

Initial measurement
On the start date of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use-asset and a leasing liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payment made during or before the initial application date. The right-of-use asset considers the incurred initial direct costs and an estimate of the costs to dismantle and eliminate the underlying asset, or to restore the underlying asset or the place where it is located, less any lease incentive received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments for the period remaining at the date of initial application. Such payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of the Company, which is considered as the rate that the Company would have to pay for a similar period financing, and with a similar guarantee, to obtain an asset of similar value to the leased asset. For the Company, the discount rate used to measure the right-of-use asset and the lease liability is the rate related to the Company's financing cost.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include the following:
•Fixed payments, including payments that are substantially fixed;
•Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or the rate as of the lease commencement date;
•The price related to a purchase option that the Company has reasonable exercising certainty, an option to extend the contractual agreement and penalties for early termination of the lease agreement, unless the Company has reasonable certainty of not exercising those options.
•Amounts payable for residual value guarantees;
•Payments for early cancellation, if this option is contemplated in the lease conditions.
The Company does not recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for those short-term agreements with a contractual period of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, mainly information technology equipment used by employees, such as laptops and desktops, handheld devices and printers. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these agreements as an expense in the consolidated statement of income as they are incurred.
Subsequent Measurement
The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically evaluated for impairment losses, if any, and evaluated for some lease liability remedies.
Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company re-measures the lease liability without modifying the discount rate when there is a modification in future lease payments under a residual value guarantee or if the modification arises from a change in the index or rate when there are variable payments. The lease liability is measured again using a new incremental borrowing rate at the date of modification when:
•An option to extend or terminate the agreement is exercised by modifying the non-cancelable period of the contract; or
•The Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase option.
When the lease liability is re-measured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding carrying amount of the right of use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the asset has been reduced to zero.
A modification to the lease agreement is accounted for as a separate agreement if the following two conditions are met:
i)The modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and
ii)The consideration of the lease is increased by an amount proportional to the independent price of the increase in scope and by any adjustment to that independent price to reflect the contract circumstances.
In the consolidated income statement, the interest expense of the lease liability is presented as a component of the financial expense, unless they are directly attributable to qualified assets, in which case they are capitalized according to the Company’s financing cost accounting policy. The right-of-use assets are measured according to the cost model, depreciated over the lease term using the straight line method and recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Improvements in leased properties are recognized as part of property, plant and equipment in the consolidated statement of financial position and amortized using the straight-line method, over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the term of the related lease.
As property owner.
F-28

The Company as lessor determines at the beginning of the lease, if each agreement is classified as an operating or financial lease.
Leases are classified as finance leases when under the terms of the lease agreement substantially all the risks and rewards of the underlying asset have been transferred, otherwise, lease agreements are classified as operating leases. The Company considers the following indicators, among others; to analyze whether substantially all the inherent risks and benefits are transferred:
•If the lease is for most of the useful life of the asset;
•If the present value of the minimum future lease payments amounts to substantially all of the underlying asset fair value.
The Company recognizes payments for operating leases received as income in a straight line during the term of the lease within the consolidated statements of income, except when another basis best represents the time pattern in which the economic benefits of the leased asset are transferred.
The Company initially recognizes an amount equal to the lease net investment, which is the present value of future lease payments plus any residual value guarantee; and a distinction is made between the current portion of collections with a maturity of less than or equal to a 12-month term and non-current collections, with a maturity of more than 12 months; including:
(i)Fixed payments including those leases that in substance are fixed, which may involve variability, but essentially unavoidable, less any lease incentive to be collected;
(ii)payments for variable rent that depend on an index or a rate as of the start date of the lease;
(iii)amounts payable by the lessee for residual value guarantees (if applicable);
(iv)the price related to a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably sure to exercise it (if applicable); and
(v)payments for penalties arising from the termination of the lease, if the term of the lease reflects that the lessee will exercise an option to terminate the lease.
Intercompany transactions related to transactions among lessors and lessees within the Group are eliminated in the Company consolidation process.
3.18 Financial liabilities and equity instruments
3.18.1 Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
3.18.2 Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized when the proceeds are received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
3.18.3 Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, financial liabilities arising from transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for de-recognition, financial guarantee contracts and contingent consideration obligations in a business combination, as appropriate, which are recognized at FVTPL. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less, in the case of loans and borrowings, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, and derivative financial instruments, see Note 3.7.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:
F-29

Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest method amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest method. The effective interest method amortization is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
3.19 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (contractual or implied) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
The Company recognizes a provision for a loss contingency when it is probable (i.e. the probability that the event will occur is greater than the probability that it will not) that certain effects related to past events, would materialize and can be reasonably quantified. These events and their financial impact are also disclosed as loss contingencies in the consolidated financial statements when the risk of loss is deemed to be other than remote. The Company does not recognize an asset for a gain contingency until the gain is realized, see Note 24.
Restructuring provisions are recognized only when the recognition criteria for provisions are fulfilled. The Company has a constructive obligation when a detailed formal plan identifies the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number of employees affected and there is a detailed estimate of the associated costs, and an appropriate timeline. Furthermore, the employees affected must have been notified of the plan’s main features.
3.20 Post-employment and other non-current employee benefits
Post-employment and other non-current employee benefits, which are considered to be monetary items, include obligations for pension and post-employment plans and seniority premiums, all based on actuarial calculations, using the projected unit credit method.
In Mexico, the economic benefits and retirement pensions are granted to employees with 10 years of service and minimum age of 60. In accordance with Mexican Labor Law, the Company provides seniority premium benefits to its employees under certain circumstances. These benefits consist of a one-time payment equivalent to 12 days’ wages for each year of service (at the employee’s most recent salary, but not to exceed twice the legal minimum wage), payable to all employees with 15 or more years of service, as well as to certain employees terminated involuntarily prior to the vesting of their seniority premium benefit.
For defined benefit retirement plans and other non-current employee benefits, such as the Company’s sponsored pension and retirement plans and seniority premiums, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. All re-measurements effects of the Company’s defined benefit obligation such as actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets are recognized directly in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The Company presents service costs within cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The Company presents net interest cost within interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The projected benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as of the end of each reporting period. Certain subsidiaries of the Company have established plan assets for the
F-30

payment of pension benefits and seniority premiums through irrevocable trusts of which the employees are named as beneficiaries, which serve to decrease the funded status of such plans’ related obligations.
Costs related to compensated absences, such as vacations and vacation premiums, are recognized on an accrual basis.
The Company recognizes a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates:
a. When it can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and
b. When it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and involves the payment of termination benefits.
The Company is demonstrably committed to a termination when, and only when, the entity has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.
A settlement occurs when the Company enters into a transaction that eliminates all further legal or constructive obligations or part or all of the benefits provided under a defined benefit plan. A curtailment arises from an isolated event such as closing of a plant, discontinuance of an operation or termination or suspension of a plan. Gains or losses on the settlement or curtailment of a defined benefit plan are recognized when the settlement or curtailment occurs.
3.21 Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it has transferred to the customer control over the good sold or the service rendered. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct and obtain substantially all the transferred product’s benefits. Also, it implies that the customer has the ability to prevent a third-party from directing the use and obtaining substantially all the benefits of the transferred product. Coca-Cola FEMSA’s management applies the following considerations to analyze the moment in which the control of the good sold or the service is transferred to the customer:
•Identify the contract (written, spoken or according to the conventional business practices).
•Evaluate the goods and services promised in the customer’s contract and identify the related performance obligations.
•Consider the contract terms and the commonly accepted practices in the business to determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to for transferring the goods and services to the customer, excluding the collected amount for third parties, such as taxes directly related to the sales. The consideration promised in a customer’s contract may include a fixed amount, variable amounts or both.
•Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation (to each good or service that is different) for an amount that represents the part of the benefit that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the right of transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.
•Recognize revenue when (or while) it satisfied the performance obligation through the transfer of the promised goods or services engaged.
All of the conditions mentioned above are accomplished normally when the goods are delivered and services are provided to the customer and this moment is considered a point in time. The net sales reflect the units delivered at list price, net of promotions and discounts.
The Company generates revenues from the following principal activities:
Sale of goods.
Includes the sales of goods by all the subsidiaries of the Company, mainly the sale of beverages of the leading brand of Coca-Cola in which the revenue is recognized at the point of time those products were sold to the customers.
Rendering of services.
Includes the revenues of distribution services that the Company recognizes as revenues as the related performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes revenues for rendering of services during the time period in which the performance obligation is satisfied according with the following conditions:
•The customer receives and consumes simultaneously the benefits, as the Company satisfies the performance obligation;
•The customer controls the related assets, even if the Company improves them;
•The revenues can be measured reliably; and
•The Company has the right to payment for the performance completed to date.

Services rendered | 321 | 327 | 385
Other operating revenues (1) | 584 | 1,768 | 1,744
Revenue from contracts with customers | Ps. 194,804 | Ps. 183,615 | Ps. 194,471

(1)In 2021, 2020 and 2019, we include related tax effect in Brazil associated to sales taxes paid in excess in prior years (PIS/COFINS) – See Note 23.2.1.
Variable allowances granted to customers
The Company adjusts the transaction price based on estimates of the promotions, discounts or any other variable allowances that may be granted to the customers. These estimates are based on the commercial agreements celebrated with the customers and on the historical performance for the customer.
Sales discounts are considered variable consideration and are reflected in the client’s invoice. Therefore discounts are recorded at the moment of sale (sales are recorded net of discounts).
In the Modern Channel, retail products are sold at a discount based on volume, considering total sales during the period, which is usually 12 months. Revenues on these sales are recognized based on the price established in the agreement, net of discounts for estimated volume. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and foresee discounts using the expected value method. No element of financing is considered, due to the fact that the majority of sales are made in cash for the Traditional Channel or on credit for the Modern Channel.
Contracts costs.
The incremental costs for obtaining a customer contract are recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs are those incurred to obtain a contract and that wouldn’t be incurred if the contract hadn’t been obtained. The Company expenses these costs as incurred in the consolidated income statement when the associated revenue is realized in a period equal to or less than one year. The recognized assets, as previously indicated, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related revenue contracts, reflecting how the goods and services are transferred to the client.
3.22 Administrative and selling expenses
Administrative expenses include labor costs (salaries and other benefits, like employee profit sharing “PTU”) of employees not directly involved in the sale of the Company’s products, as well as professional service fees, the depreciation of office facilities, amortization of capitalized information technology system implementation costs and any other similar costs.
Selling expenses include:
• Distribution: labor costs (salaries and other related benefits), outbound freight costs, warehousing costs of finished products, depreciation of returnable bottles in the distribution process, depreciation and maintenance of trucks and other distribution facilities and equipment. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, these distribution costs amounted to Ps. 26,023, Ps. 24,190 and Ps. 25,068, respectively;
• Sales: labor costs (salaries and other benefits including PTU) and sales commissions paid to sales personnel;
• Marketing: promotional expenses and advertising costs.
PTU is paid by the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries to its eligible employees. In Mexico, employee profit sharing is computed at the rate of 10% of the individual company taxable income. PTU in Mexico is calculated from the same taxable income for income tax, except for the following: a) neither tax losses from prior years nor the PTU paid during the year are deductible; and b) payments exempt from taxes for the employees are fully deductible in the PTU computation.
The amendment to the Federal Labor Law established a limit on the amount to be paid for profit sharing to employees, which indicates that the amount of PTU assigned to each employee may not exceed the equivalent of three months of the employee’s current salary, or the average PTU received by the employee in the previous three years, whichever is greater. If the PTU determined is less than or equal to this limit, the PTU will be the one determined by applying 10% of the individual company taxable income. If the PTU determined exceeds this limit, the limit would apply and this should be considered the PTU for the period.

3.23 Income taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income taxes are charged to consolidated income statements as they are incurred, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
3.23.1 Current income taxes
Current income taxes are recorded in the results of the year they are incurred.
3.23.2 Deferred income taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, including tax loss carryforwards and certain tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits, and reversal of existing taxable temporary differences will be available. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In the case of Brazil, where certain goodwill amounts are at times deductible for tax purposes, the Company recognizes in connection with the acquisition accounting a deferred tax asset for the tax effect of the excess of the tax basis over the related carrying value.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits and reversal of existing taxable temporary differences will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income taxes are classified as a non-current asset or liability, regardless of when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized in the other comprehensive income is recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction in OCI.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
In Mexico, the income tax rate was 30% for 2021, 2020 and 2019. For 2022, the rate will continue to be 30%.
3.24 Share-based payments transactions
Senior executives of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments. The equity instruments are granted and then held by a trust controlled by FEMSA. They are accounted for as equity settled transactions. The award of equity instruments is granted for a fixed monetary value.
Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the share-based payments is expensed and recognized based on the graded vesting method over the vesting period.
F-33

3.25 Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its shares. As described in Note 24, the Company has potentially dilutive shares and therefore presents its basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to controlling interest by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the weighted average of own shares purchased in the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. Earnings per share for all periods are adjusted to give effect to capital contributions, bonus issues, share splits or reverse share splits that occur during any of periods presented and subsequent to the latest balance sheet date until the issuance date of the financial statements.
3.26 Issuance of common shares
The Company recognizes the issuance of own common shares as an equity transaction. The difference between the book value of the shares issued and the amount contributed by the non-controlling interest holder or third party is recorded as additional paid-in capital.
3.27 IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments
The interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The interpretation specifically addresses the following:
a.Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately;
b.The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities;
c.How an entity determines taxable profit (loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, and;
d.How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
An entity must determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty should be followed.
Note 4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks and cash equivalents, including short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, with a maturity date of three months or less at their acquisition date. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period consist of the following:

| 2021 | 2020
Cash and bank balances | Ps. 5,336 | Ps. 4,435
Cash equivalents (see Note 3.5) | 41,912 | Ps. 39,062

F-34

5.1 Trade receivables
Trade receivable representing rights arising from sales and loans to employees or any other similar concept, are presented net of discounts and the allowance for expected credit losses.
Coca-Cola FEMSA has accounts receivable from The Coca-Cola Company primarily arising from the latter’s participation in advertising and promotional programs.
Because less than the 2.2% of the trade receivables is unrecoverable, the Company does not have any customers classified as “high risk” which would be eligible to have special management conditions for the credit risk. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not have a representative group of customers directly related to the expected loss.
In 2021 and 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, governments have implemented several preventive measures such as social distancing and the temporary closure of certain points of sale considered as nonessential. As such measures were eased, most businesses were able to reopen and this allowed the company to recover the accounts receivable. Given that the impact on this item was not material, the Company did not implement any relevant change to its models to estimate the receivables’ provisions.
The allowance for credit losses is calculated with an expected losses model that recognizes the impairment losses through all the contract life. Because they generally are short-term accounts receivable, the company defined a model with a simplified expected loss focus through a parametric model. The parameters used in the model are:
•Breach probability;
•Losses severity;
•Financing rate;
•Special recovery rate; and
•Breach exposure.
The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Company considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period.
5.3 Payments from The Coca-Cola Company:
The Coca-Cola Company participates in certain advertising and promotional programs as well as in the Company’s refrigeration equipment and returnable bottles investment program. Contributions received by the Company for advertising and promotional incentives are recognized as a reduction in selling expenses and contributions received for the refrigeration equipment and returnable bottles investment program are recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of refrigeration equipment and returnable bottles items. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 contributions due were Ps. 2,437, Ps. 1,482, and Ps. 2,274, respectively.

Impairment Tests for Cash-Generating Units Containing Goodwill and Distribution Rights
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and distribution rights are allocated and monitored on an individual country basis, which is considered to be the CGU.
The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill and distribution rights allocated to each CGU are as follows:

In millions of Ps. | 2021 | 2020
Mexico | Ps. 56,352 | Ps. 56,352
Guatemala | 1,735 | 1,755
Nicaragua | 438 | 433
Costa Rica | 1,407 | 1,425
Panama | 1,238 | 1,200
Colombia | 3,798 | 4,414
Brazil | 30,608 | 31,741
Argentina | 395 | 312
Uruguay | 2,332 | 2,450
Total | Ps. 98,303 | Ps. 100,082

Goodwill and distribution rights are tested for impairments annually. The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are based on value-in-use calculations. Value in use was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of the CGU.
The foregoing forecasts reflect the outcomes that the Company consider most likely to occur based on the current situation of each of the CGUs including the macroeconomic situation in each CGU including the remaining impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic which has heightened the inherent uncertainty in such estimations, the foregoing forecasts could differ from the results obtained over time.
The value in use of CGUs is determined based on the method of discounted cash flows. The key assumptions used to calculate value in use are: volume, expected annual long-term inflation, and the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) used to discount the projected flows.
To determine the discount rate, the Company uses the WACC as determined for each of the cash generating units in real terms and as described in following paragraphs.
The estimated discount rates to perform, the impairment test for each CGU considers market participants’ assumptions. Market participants were selected considering the size, operations and characteristics of the business that are similar to those of the Company.
The discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated into the projected cash flows. The discount rate calculation is based on the opportunity cost to a market participant, considering the specific circumstances of the Company and its operating segments and is derived from its WACC. The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Company’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the Company is obliged to service, which is equivalent to the cost of debt based on the conditions that a creditor would assess in the market. Segment-specific risk is incorporated by applying beta factors which are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data.
F-43

Market participant assumptions are important because, not only do they include industry data for growth rates, management also assesses how the CGU’s position, relative to its competitors, might change over the forecasted period.
The key assumptions used for the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
• Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the five-years business plan.
• A WACC per each CGU was applied as a hurdle rate to discount cash flows to get the recoverable amount of the units; the calculation assumes, size premium adjustment.
The key assumptions by CGU for impairment test as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:

CGU | Pre-tax WACC | Post –tax WACC | Expected Annual Long-Term Inflation 2022-2026 | Expected Volume Growth Rates 2022-2026
Mexico | 6.8 | % | 4.9 | % | 3.7 | % | 2.8 | %
Brazil | 9.1 | % | 5.8 | % | 3.3 | % | 7.7 | %
Colombia | 8.7 | % | 5.8 | % | 3.0 | % | 8.4 | %
Argentina | 19.7 | % | 14.5 | % | 35.9 | % | 5.4 | %
Guatemala | 7.9 | % | 6.1 | % | 4.2 | % | 10.7 | %
Costa Rica | 13.5 | % | 9.2 | % | 3.1 | % | 6.5 | %
Nicaragua | 18.3 | % | 10.6 | % | 4.3 | % | 6.4 | %
Panama | 8.5 | % | 6.5 | % | 2.2 | % | 7.0 | %
Uruguay | 8.5 | % | 6.1 | % | 5.0 | % | 4.0 | %

The key assumptions by CGU for impairment test as of December 31, 2020 were as follows:

CGU | Pre-tax WACC | Post –tax WACC | Expected Annual Long-Term Inflation 2021-2030 | Expected Volume Growth Rates 2021-2030
Mexico | 7.4 | % | 5.3 | % | 3.9 | % | 2.0 | %
Brazil | 9.1 | % | 6.0 | % | 3.0 | % | 2.4 | %
Colombia | 11.0 | % | 7.3 | % | 2.8 | % | 4.1 | %
Argentina | 26.3 | % | 20.4 | % | 30.1 | % | 3.9 | %
Guatemala | 10.6 | % | 8.3 | % | 3.1 | % | 6.8 | %
Costa Rica | 15.3 | % | 10.8 | % | 2.7 | % | 4.3 | %
Nicaragua | 20.6 | % | 13.9 | % | 3.7 | % | 7.1 | %
Panama | 8.8 | % | 6.8 | % | 1.5 | % | 7.9 | %
Uruguay | 9.9 | % | 7.1 | % | 7.8 | % | 2.0 | %

Sensitivity to Changes in Assumptions
As of December 31, 2021, the Company performed an additional impairment sensitivity calculation, taking into account an adverse change in post-tax WACC, according to the country risk premium, using for each country the relative standard deviation between equity and sovereign bonds and an additional sensitivity to the volume of 100 basis points and concluded that no impairment would be recorded.

CGU | Change in WACC | Change in Volume Growth CAGR(1) | Effect on Valuation
Mexico | 0.2% | -1.0% | Passes by 6.8x
Brazil | 0.2% | -1.0% | Passes by 2.7x
Colombia | 0.2% | -1.0% | Passes by 4.2x
Argentina | 0.8% | -1.0% | Passes by 10.0x
Guatemala | 0.2% | -1.0% | Passes by 54.5x
Costa Rica | 0.4% | -1.0% | Passes by 3.1x
Nicaragua | 0.5% | -1.0% | Passes by 1.0x
Panama | 0.1% | -1.0% | Passes by 8.2x
Uruguay | 0.1% | -1.0% | Passes by 4.4x

(1) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and are based on both external sources and internal sources (historical data). The Company consistently applied its methodology to determine CGU specific WACC’s to perform its annual impairment testing.

Note 15. Post-Employment and Other Non-current Employee Benefits
The Company has various labor liabilities for employee benefits in connection with pension and retirement plans, seniority premiums and other post-employment benefits. Benefits vary depending upon the country where the individual employees are located. Presented below is a discussion of the Company’s labor liabilities in Mexico, which comprise the substantial majority of those, recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
15.1 Assumptions
The Company annually evaluates the reasonableness of the assumptions used in its labor liability for post-employment and other non-current employee benefits computations. In Mexico, actuarial calculations for pension and retirement plans and seniority premiums, as well as the associated cost for the period, were determined using the following long-term assumptions:

Mexico | 2021 | 2020 | 2019
Financial: |  |  |
Discount rate used to calculate the defined benefit obligation and the net interest on de net defined benefit liability (asset) | 8.0 | % | 7.2 | % | 7.5 | %
Salary increase: (Non-Union/Union) | 4.5 | % | 4.5 | % | 4.5 | %
Future pension increase | 3.5 | % | 3.5 | % | 3.5 | %
Biometric: |  |  |
Mortality | EMSSA 2009 (1) | EMSSA 2009 (1) | EMSSA 2009 (1)
Disability | IMSS 97 (2) | IMSS-97 (2) | IMSS-97 (2)
Normal retirement age | 60 years | 60 years | 60 years
Rest of employee turnover | BMAR2007 (3) | BMAR2007 (3) | BMAR2007 (3)

(1) EMSSA. Mexican Experience of Social Security (for its initials in Spanish)
(2) IMSS. Mexican Experience of Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (for its initials in Spanish)
(3) BMAR. Actuary experience
In Mexico the methodology used to determine the discount rate was the yield or Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) which involves a yield curve. In this case, the expected rates of each period were taken from a yield curve of the Mexican Federal Government Treasury Bond (known as CETES in Mexico) because there is no deep market in high quality corporate obligations in Mexico.
F-48

In Mexico upon retirement, the Company purchases an annuity for senior executives, which will be paid according to the option chosen by the employee.
Based on these assumptions, the amounts of benefits expected to be paid out in the following years are as follows:

| Pension and Retirement Plans | Seniority Premiums
2022 | Ps. 386 | Ps. 43
2023 | 169 | 42
2024 | 205 | 45
2025 | 229 | 46
2026 | 284 | 50
2027 to 2031 | 1,777 | 272

15.2 Balances of the liabilities for post-employment and other non-current employee benefits

| 2021 | 2020
Pension and Retirement Plans: |  |
Vested benefit obligation | Ps. 952 | Ps. 996
Non-vested benefit obligation | 1,876 | 1,644

Excess of projected defined benefit obligation over accumulated benefit obligation | 1,687 | 1,671
Defined benefit obligation | 4,515 | 4,311
Pension plan funds at fair value | (1,234) | (1,201)
Net defined benefit liability | Ps. 3,281 | Ps. 3,110

Net defined benefit liability | Ps. 845 | Ps. 728
Total post-employment and other non-current employee benefits | Ps. 4,126 | Ps. 3,838

15.3 Trust assets
Trust assets consist of fixed and variable return financial instruments recorded at market value, which are invested as follows:

Type of instrument | 2021 | 2020
Fixed return: |  |
Traded securities | 22 | % | 18 | %
Life annuities | 16 | % | 18 | %
Bank instruments | 5 | % | 17 | %
Federal government instruments | 37 | % | 27 | %
Variable return: |  |
Publicly traded shares | 20 | % | 20 | %
| 100 | % | 100 | %

In Mexico, the regulatory framework for pension plans is established in the Income Tax Law and its Regulations, the Federal Labor Law and the Mexican Social Security Institute Law. None of these laws establish minimum funding levels or a minimum required level of contributions.
F-49

In Mexico, the Income Tax Law requires that, in the case of private plans, certain notifications must be submitted to the authorities and a certain level of instruments must be invested in Federal Government instruments, among others.
The Company’s various pension plans have a technical committee that is responsible for verifying the correct operation of the plan with regard to the payment of benefits, actuarial valuations of the plan, and the monitoring and supervision of the benefit trust. The committee is responsible for determining the investment portfolio and the types of instruments the fund will be invested in. This technical committee is also responsible for verifying the correct operation of the plan in all of the countries in which the Company has these benefits.
The risks related to the Company’s employee benefit plans are primarily attributable to the plan assets. The Company’s plan assets are invested in a diversified portfolio, which considers the term of the plan so as to invest in assets whose expected return coincides with the estimated future payments.
Since the Mexican Tax Law limits the plan’s asset investment in related parties, to 10% this risk is not considered to be significant for purposes of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.
In Mexico, the Company’s policy is to invest at least 30% of the fund assets in Mexican Federal Government instruments. Guidelines for the target portfolio have been established for the remaining percentage and investment decisions are made to comply with these guidelines insofar as the market conditions and available funds allow.
In Mexico, the amounts and types of securities that the Company invests in related parties included in portfolio fund are mainly as follows:

| 2021 | 2020
Mexico |  |
Portfolio: |  |
Debt: |  |
Grupo Industrial Bimbo, S.A.B. de C. V. | $25 | $28
Grupo Financiero Banorte, S.A.B. de C.V. | 9 | 9
El Puerto de Liverpool, S.A.B. de C.V. | 9 | —
Capital: |  |
Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. | 3 | 3
El Puerto de Liverpool, S.A.B. de C.V. | — | —
Alfa, S.A.B. de C.V. | — | —

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not make significant contributions to the plan assets and does not expect to make material contributions to the plan assets during 2022.

As a result of the Company’s investments in life annuities plans, management does not expect the Company will need to make material contributions to the trust assets in order to meet its future obligations.
15.7 Variation in assumptions
The Company decided that the relevant actuarial assumptions that are subject to sensitivity and valuated through the projected unit credit method, are the discount rate and the salary increase rate because they have the most significant impact:
• Discount rate: The rate that determines the value of the obligations over time.
• Salary increase rate: The rate that considers the salary increase which implies an increase in the benefit payable.
F-52

The following table presents the impact in absolute terms of a variation of 1.0% in the assumptions on the net defined benefit liability associated with the Company’s defined benefit plans. The sensitivity of this 1.0% on the significant actuarial assumptions is based on projected long-term discount rates for Mexico and a yield curve projections of long-term Mexican government bonds - CETES:

15.8 Employee benefits expense
On April 23, 2021, Mexican government enacted changes on several labor laws in order to regulate labor outsourcing. In particular, these changes increased the cost of profit sharing. The amount recorded to expense was of Ps, 1,068 compared to Ps. 673 in 2020.
For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, employee benefits expenses recognized in the consolidated income statements are as follows:

Note 16. Bonus Programs
16.1 Quantitative and qualitative objectives
The bonus program for executives is based on achieving certain goals established annually by management and directors, which include quantitative and qualitative objectives and special projects.
F-53

The quantitative objectives represent approximately 50% of the bonus and are based on the Economic Value Added (“EVA”) methodology. The objective established for the executives at each entity is based on a combination of the EVA generated per entity and by our Company and the EVA generated by our parent Company FEMSA. The qualitative objectives and special projects represent the remaining 50% of the annual bonus and are based on the critical success factors established at the beginning of the year for each executive.
The bonus amounts are determined based on each eligible participant’s level of responsibility and based on the EVA generated by the applicable business unit the employee works for. This formula is established by considering the level of responsibility within the organization, the employees’ evaluation and competitive compensation in the market.
The incentive plan target is expressed in months of salary, and the final amount payable is computed based on a percentage of achievement of the goals established every year. The bonuses are recognized in the income statement in the year earned and are paid in cash the following year. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the bonus expense recorded amounted to Ps. 856, Ps.747 and Ps. 940, respectively.
16.2 Share-based payment bonus plan
The Company has a stock incentive plan for the benefit of its senior executives. This plan uses as its main evaluation metric the EVA. Under the EVA stock incentive plan, eligible executives are entitled to receive a special annual bonus (fixed amount), to purchase FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA shares or options, based on the executive’s responsibility in the organization, their business’ EVA result achieved, and their individual performance. The acquired shares or options are deposited in a trust, and the executives may access them one year after they are vested at 33% per year. Fifty percent of Coca-Cola FEMSA’s annual executive bonus is to be used to purchase FEMSA shares or options and the remaining 50% to purchase Coca-Cola FEMSA shares or options. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, no stock options have been granted to executives. Beginning with January 1, 2016 the shares ratably vest over a three year period.
The special bonus is granted to the eligible executive on an annual basis and after withholding applicable taxes. The Company contributes the individual executive’s special bonus (after taxes) in cash to the Administrative Trust (which is controlled and consolidated by FEMSA), which then uses the funds to purchase FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA shares (as instructed by the Corporate Practices Committee), which are then allocated to such executive.
Coca-Cola FEMSA accounts for its share-based payment bonus plan as an equity-settled share based payment transaction, since it is its parent company, FEMSA, who ultimately grants and settles with shares these obligations due to executives.
At December 31, 2021 the shares granted under the Company’s executive incentive plans are as follows:

| Number of shares |
Incentive Plan | FEMSA | KOF | Vesting period
2017 | 326,561 | 369,791 | 2018-2020
2018 | 211,290 | 256,281 | 2019-2021
2019 | 312,006 | 457,338 | 2020-2022
2020 | 666,281 | 956,926 | 2021-2023
2021 | 780,524 | 1,197,820 | 2022-2024
Total | 2,296,662 | 3,238,156 |

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the total expense recognized for the period arising from share-based payment transactions, using the grant date model, was of Ps. 276 Ps. 190 and Ps. 188, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the asset recorded by the Company in its consolidated statements of financial position amounted was of Ps. 303 and Ps. 192 respectively, see Note 12.

Note 19. Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The three input levels are described as follows:
•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3: are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The Company measures the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities classified as level 1 and 2, applying the income approach method, which estimates the fair value based on expected cash flows discounted to net present value. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

| 2021 | 2020
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 1 | Level 2
Derivative financial instruments asset | Ps. 764 | Ps. 4,911 | Ps. 488 | Ps. 2,440
Derivative financial instruments liability | 35 | 58 | 84 | 1,417

19.1 Forward agreements to purchase foreign currency
The Company has entered into forward agreements to reduce its exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations of the Mexican peso and other currencies.
These instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their estimated fair value which is determined based on prevailing market exchange rates to terminate the contracts at the end of the period. Changes in the fair value of these forwards are recorded as part of “cumulative other comprehensive income”. Net gain/loss on expired contracts is recognized as part of foreign exchange or cost of goods sold, depending on the nature of the hedge in the consolidated income statements.
Net changes in the fair value of forward agreements that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are recorded in the consolidated income statements under the caption “market value gain on financial instruments”.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding forward agreements to purchase foreign currency:

19.2 Cross-currency swaps
The Company has cross-currency swaps contracts to reduce the risk of interest rate and exchange rate fluctuation in the contracted credits denominated in USD. Cross-currency swaps are designated as hedge instruments when the Company changes the debt profile to the functional currency to reduce the exchange rate fluctuation risk.
The fair value is estimated using market prices that would apply to terminate the contracts at the end of the period. For accounting purposes, the cross-currency swaps are recorded as both, cash flow hedges in regard to the foreign exchange risk, and fair value hedges in regard to the interest rate risk and related foreign exchange risk. The fair value changes related to exchange rate fluctuations of the notional amount of those cross-currency swaps and the accrued interest are recorded in the consolidated income statements. The remaining portion of the fair value changes, when designated as cash flow hedges, are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position in “cumulative other comprehensive income”. If they are designated as fair value hedges the changes in this remaining portion are recorded in the income statements as “market value (gain) loss on financial instruments”.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding cross-currency swap agreements:

19.9 Risk management
The Company has exposure to the following financial risks:
•Market risk;
•Interest rate risk;
•Liquidity risk; and
•Credit risk
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has also caused and continues to cause significant volatility in the financial markets, undermining investors’ confidence in the growth of countries and businesses. Due to the volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as currency depreciations against the U.S. dollar in many of the countries where we operate and an increase in the price of certain raw materials, our cost of goods sold has increased.
19.9.1 Market risk
The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, interest rates risk and commodity prices risk including:
• Forward Agreements to Purchase Foreign Currency in order to reduce its exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
• Options to purchase foreign currency in order to reduce its exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
• Cross-Currency Swaps in order to reduce its exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes.
• Commodity price contracts in order to reduce its exposure to the risk of fluctuation in the costs of certain raw materials.
The Company tracks the fair value (mark to market) of its derivative financial instruments and its possible changes using scenario analyses. The following disclosures provide a sensitivity analysis of the market risks, which the Company is exposed to as it relates to foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, which it considers in its existing hedging strategy:

19.9.2 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the expected cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it and its subsidiaries borrow funds at both fixed and variable interest ra tes. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and variable rate borrowings, and by the use of the different derivative financial instruments. In addition, the Company regularly evaluates its hedging activities according to its interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.
The following disclosures provide a sensitivity analysis of the interest rate risks considered reasonably possible for the following fiscal year, according with its existing floating rate borrowings and derivative financial instruments at the end of the reporting period:

Interest Rate Risk | Change in U.S.$ rate | Effect on (profit) or loss
2021 | +100 bps | Ps. (160)
2020 | +100 bps | (102)
2019 | +100 bps | (44)

19.9.3 Liquidity risk
The Company’s principal source of liquidity has generally been cash generated from its operations. A significant majority of the Company’s sales are on a short-term credit basis. The Company has traditionally been able to rely on cash generated from operations to fund its capital requirements and its capital expenditures. The Company’s working capital benefits from the fact that most of its sales are made on a cash basis, while it generally pays its suppliers on credit. In recent periods, the Company has mainly used cash generated from operations to fund acquisitions. The Company has also used a combination of borrowings from Mexican and international banks and issuances in the Mexican and international capital markets to fund acquisitions.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Company’s board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the evaluation of the Company’s short-, medium- and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, and continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and by maintaining a conservative debt maturity profile.
The Company has access to credit from national and international banking institutions in order to face treasury needs; besides, the Company has the highest rating for Mexican companies (AAA) given by independent rating agencies, allowing the Company to access capital markets in case it needs resources.
As part of the Company’s financing policy, management expects to continue financing its liquidity needs with cash from operations. Nonetheless, as a result of regulations in certain countries in which the Company operates, it may not be beneficial or, practicable to remit cash generated in local operations to fund cash requirements in other countries. In the event that cash from operations in these countries is not sufficient to fund future working capital requirements and capital expenditures, management may decide, or be required, to fund cash requirements in these countries through local borrowings rather than remitting funds from another country. In the future management may finance our working capital and capital expenditure needs with short-term or other borrowings.
The Company’s management continuously evaluates opportunities to pursue acquisitions or engage in strategic transactions. The Company would expect to finance any significant future transactions with a combination of cash from operations, long-term indebtedness and capital stock.
See Note 17 for a disclosure of the Company’s maturity dates associated with its non-current financial liabilities as of December 31, 2021.
The following table reflects all contractually fixed and variable payoffs for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from recognized financial liabilities. It includes expected net cash outflows and inflows from derivative financial liabilities (assets) that are in place as of December 31, 2021.
Such expected net cash outflows are determined based on each particular settlement date of an instrument. The amounts disclosed are net cash outflows for the respective upcoming fiscal years, based on the earliest date on which the Company could be required to pay. Cash outflows for financial liabilities without fixed amounts or timing are based on economic conditions (like interest rates and foreign exchange rates) existing at December 31, 2021.

The Company generally makes payments associated with its financial liabilities with cash generated from its operations.
19.9.4 Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is spread amongst approved counterparties.
The Company has a high receivable turnover, hence management believes credit risk is minimal due to the nature of its businesses, which have a large portion of their sales settled in cash. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statement of financial position at December 31, 2021 and 2020 is the carrying amounts (see Note 5).
The credit risk for liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are highly rated banks as designated by international credit rating agencies.
The Company manages the credit risk related to its derivative portfolio by only entering into transactions with reputable and credit-worthy counterparties as well as by maintaining a Credit Support Annex (CSA) that establishes margin requirements. As of December 31, 2021 the Company concluded that the maximum exposure to credit risk related with derivative financial instruments is not significant given the high credit rating of its counterparties.
19.10 Cash Flow hedges
The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Company evaluates whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be effective and that it has been effective to offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.
In these hedging relationships, the main sources of inefficiency are:
•The effect of the credit risk of the counterparty and the Company on the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows; and
•Changes in the periods of the hedges.

21.2 Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that its subsidiaries will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of its debt and equity balances in order to obtain the lowest cost of capital available. The Company manages its capital structure and adjust it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, other than the legal reserve (see Note 21.1).
The Company's Finance and Planning Committee reviews the capital structure of the Company on a quarterly basis. As part of this review, the committee considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. In conjunction with this objective, the Company seeks to maintain the highest credit rating both nationally and internationally, currently rated AAA and A/A2/BBB+ respectively, which requires us to comply, among others, with the financial metrics that each rating agency considers. For example, some rating agencies require us to maintain a debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio lower than 2.0x. As a result, prior to entering into new business ventures, acquisitions or divestitures, management evaluates the impact that these transactions can have on its credit rating.
Note 22. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing consolidated net income for the year attributable to controlling interest by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the weighted average of own shares purchased in the period.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing consolidated net income for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of shares for the effects of dilutive potential shares (originated by the Company’s commitment to capitalize 27.9 million KOF series L shares).

The Company has determined that undistributed profits of its subsidiaries, will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized, aggregate to December 31, 2021: Ps. 8,762, December 31, 2020: Ps. 5,212 and, December 31, 2019: Ps. 13,187.
Tax Loss Carryforwards
Some subsidiaries in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil have tax loss carryforwards. Unused tax loss carryforwards, for which a deferred income tax asset has been recognized, may be recovered provided certain requirements are fulfilled. The tax losses carryforwards for which deferred tax asset has been recorded and their corresponding years of expiration are as follows:

During 2013, the Company completed certain acquisitions in Brazil. In connection with the acquisitions in Brazil the Company recorded certain goodwill balances that are deductible for Brazilian income tax reporting purposes. The deduction of such goodwill amortization has resulted in the creation of Net Operating Losses (NOLs) in Brazil which the NOLs for which deferred tax asset has been recorded, which have no expiration, but their usage is limited to 30% of Brazilian taxable income in any given year. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will ultimately recover such NOLs through the reversal of temporary differences and future taxable income. Accordingly, the related deferred tax assets have been fully recognized.

23.2 Recoverable taxes
Recoverable taxes result mainly from higher provisional payments of income tax during 2021 in México in comparison to current year income tax, and other indirect tax, which will be compensated or recovered in future years.
The operations in Guatemala, Colombia, Nicaragua and Panama are subject to a minimum tax. In Guatemala and Colombia this tax is recoverable under certain circumstances only. Guatemala tax basis is determined considering the highest between total assets and net income; in Colombia tax basis is equity.
23.2.1 Exclusion of the State VAT (ICMS) on the federal sale taxes (PIS / COFINS) calculate basis
On March 15, 2017 the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (STF) ruled that the inclusion of the VAT (ICMS) on federal sales taxes (PIS and COFINS) taxable basis was unconstitutional. During 2019, our companies in Brazil obtained conclusive favorable motions over this exclusion of VAT (ICMS) over PIS / COFINS calculation. The net favorable effects of each case are to be recorded at the time all formalities and legal procedures are finalized and recovery of the taxes paid becomes virtually certain. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, the administrative formalities for three of the motions and the recoverable taxes were concluded and were recorded in other operating revenues in the income statement.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the amount of recoverable taxes in Brazil including PIS and COFINS is Ps. 1,243 and Ps. 2,523 respectively.

23.3 Tax Reform
Brazil
In early 2017, the Supreme Court decided that the value-added tax would not be used as the basis for calculating the federal sales tax, resulting in a reduction of the federal sales tax. The Brazilian tax authorities have appealed the Supreme Court’s decision and such appeal was refused on a final decision in May 2021. However, our Brazilian subsidiaries commenced legal proceedings to ascertain their ability to calculate federal sales tax without using the value-added tax as a basis, in accordance with the Supreme Court’s first ruling, and obtained a final favorable resolution in 2019. In 2021, the federal production and sales taxes together resulted in an average of 16.20% tax over net sales.
In recent years, the excise tax rate on concentrate in Brazil has undergone recurrent temporary fluctuations. The excise tax rate was increased from 4.0% to 12.0% from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, was reduced to 8.0% from July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 and was increased to 10.0% from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The excise tax rate was reduced to 4.0% from January 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020, was increased to 8.0% from June 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020, was reduced again to 4.0% from December 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, and was increased to 8.0% from February 1, 2021 onwards. The tax credit that we may recognize in our Brazilian operations in connection with purchases of concentrate in the Manaus Free Trade Zone has been affected accordingly.
Argentina
On January 1, 2018, a tax reform became effective in Argentina. That reform reduced the income tax rate from 35.0% to 30.0% for 2018 and 2019, and then to 25.0% for 2020. In June 2021 (effective retroactively to January 2021), the Argentine government increased the income tax rate to 35.0% for 2021 onwards and imposed a tax rate of 7.0% on dividends paid to non-resident stockholders and resident individuals.
This same tax reform imposed a new tax on dividends paid to nonresident stockholders and resident individuals at a rate of 7.0% for 2018 and 2019, and then to 13.0% for the following years. The reform decreased the sales tax rate in the province of Buenos Aires from 1.75% to 1.5% in 2018. The reform shceduled a reduction in the sales tax rate in the City of Buenos Aires from to 2.0% to 1.5% in 2019, to 1.0% in 2020, to 0.5% in 2021. Nonetheless,the Argentine government issued several executive decrees since 2019 to maintain the sales tax rate for both the province of Buenos Aires and the City of Buenos Aires at a rate of 1.5%.
Mexico
On January 1, 2019, the Mexican government eliminated the right to offset any tax credit against any payable tax (universal offset or compensation universal). Effective as of such date, tax credits are only offset against taxes of the same nature, and it is not possible to offset tax credits against taxes withheld to third parties.
On January 1, 2020, a tax reform became effective in Mexico. The most relevant changes are: (i) a limitation on taxpayers’ annual net interest expense deduction equal to 30.0% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income (comparable to EBITDA), provided that (x) any interest expenses of a company below Ps.20 million (approximately US$1 million) are not subject to the rule and can therefore be deducted in their entirety and (y) any deductible interest that is not allowed to be deducted in a given year because of the 30.0% limit, may be carried forward for the subsequent 10 years; (ii) stringent rules to categorize certain foreign income and foreign subsidiaries that are subject to low levels of taxation as subject to Mexican income tax; (iii) an inflation-related increase in the excise tax applicable to the production, sale and import of beverages with added sugar and HFCS from Ps.1.17 to Ps.1.2616 per liter, which excise tax will be subject to an annual increase based on the previous year’s inflation rate starting on January 1, 2021; (iv) an expansion of the definition of “energy drink” to apply an excise tax of 25.0% on beverages that include a mix of caffeine and any other stimulants; and (v) a modification of the Mexican Federal Tax Code to (a) increase the number of events that may trigger the joint and several liability of partners, shareholders, directors, managers or any other person responsible for the management of a business, (b) add a new disclosure obligation of certain reportable transactions to tax authorities, and (c) increase the tax authorities’ discretion to limit tax benefits or attributes in situations where authorities believe the tax benefit, rather than a business reason or an alternative economic benefit, is the primary factor behind a transaction or legal structure.
In April 2021, the Mexican government amended the Federal Labor Law, the Tax Code and other laws that regulate labor benefits to, among other things, prohibit the outsourcing of personnel, except in certain circumstances. As a result of this tax reform, the deduction of expenses related to the outsourcing is prohibited as well as the ability to credit the value-added tax generated by the expenses related to the outsourcing and in extreme cases, the outsourcing of personnel may qualify as tax fraud. This reform became effective on September 1, 2021.
In accordance with amendments to Mexican tax laws in effect from January 1, 2022, Mexican issuers are joint and severally liable for taxes payable on gains derived from the sale or disposition of its shares or securities representing its shares, such as ADSs, by major shareholders who are non-Mexican residents with no permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes, to other non-Mexican residents with no permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes, to the extent that such Mexican issuer fails to provide certain information with respect to such sale or disposition to the Mexican tax authorities. For purposes of these regulations, “major shareholders” are shareholders that are identified in reports submitted by the Mexican issuer to the CNBV on an annual basis as a result of being (i) directors or officers who directly or indirectly own 1.0% or more of the Mexican issuer’s capital stock, (ii)
F-77

shareholders who directly or indirectly own 5.0% or more of the Mexican issuer’s capital stock or (iii) within the ten largest shareholders of the Mexican issuer based on direct ownership of shares of capital stock. Although in some instances Mexican tax authorities have indicated that this reporting obligation would only apply to transfers of shares or securities representing shares that result in a change of control, there are no established criteria or general interpretations to that effect issued by the Mexican tax authorities. There is currently no obligation by non-Mexican residents to inform Mexican issuers about their sales or dispositions of shares or securities representing shares, which limits our ability to comply with our reporting obligations to the Mexican tax authorities. Therefore, the amount of a potential tax liability is uncertain and difficult to determine given inherent mechanics and procedures, including the application of any tax treaties available, applicable to the trading of publicly-traded securities.
Colombia
On January 1, 2019, a new tax reform became effective in Colombia. This reform reduced the previous income tax rate of 33.0% for 2019 to 32.0% for 2020, to 31.0% for 2021 and to 30.0% for 2022. The minimum assumed income tax (renta presuntiva sobre el patrimonio) was also reduced from 3.5% for 2018 to 1.5% for 2019 and 2020, and to —% for 2021. In addition, the thin capitalization ratio was adjusted from 3:1 to 2:1, and was modified to apply only to transactions between related parties. Commencing on January 1, 2019, value-added tax, which was applied only to the first sale in the supply chain prior to December 31, 2018, began to be applied and transferred throughout the entire supply chain, which in our case results in charging value-added tax on the sales price of our finished goods (applicable to our Colombian subsidiary located in the free trade zone). For companies located in free trade zones, the value-added tax is charged on the cost of imported raw materials of national and foreign origin, which we are able to credit against the value-added tax on the sales price of our products. The municipality sales tax was 50.0% deductible against income tax payable in 2019 and 100.0% deductible in 2020. Finally, the value-added tax paid on acquired fixed assets will be credited against income tax or the minimum assumed income tax. Additionally, this tax reform increased the tax rate on dividends paid to foreign individuals and non-resident entities from 5.0% to 7.5%. The tax reform also imposed a tax rate of 7.5% on dividends paid to Colombian companies. This tax is charged only on the first distribution of dividends from one Colombian corporate entity to another, and a credit resulting from the tax withholding is carried forward until a Colombian company makes a distribution to a shareholder that is an individual residing in Colombia or a non-resident individual or entity.
In October 2019, the Colombian courts declared the tax reform that became effective on January 1, 2019 unconstitutional. On December 27, 2019, the Colombian government enacted a new tax reform, which became effective on January 1, 2020. In general, the reform maintained the provisions introduced on the previous tax reform and included some additional changes, as follows: (i) the minimum assumed income tax rate (renta presuntiva sobre el patrimonio) was reduced from 1.5% to 0.5% for 2020 and reduced to —% for the year 2021 onwards; (ii) the tax rate on dividends paid to Colombian resident individuals was reduced from 15.0% to 10.0%; (iii) the tax rate on dividends paid to foreign individuals and non-resident entities was increased from 7.5% to 10.0%; (iv) the possibility to deduct 100.0% of the municipality sales tax against payable income tax was postponed to 2022; and (v) taxpayers were granted more flexibility to credit or recover the value-added tax of imported goods from free trade zones.
In August 2021, a new tax reform became effective in Colombia. This reform increased the income tax rate from 30.0% to 35.0% for 2022 onwards and limited to 50.0% the ability to deduct the municipality sales taxes against income taxes.
Costa Rica
On July 1, 2019, a tax reform became effective in Costa Rica. This reform allowed tax credits on sales taxes to be recorded on goods, administrative services and general expenses. The value-added tax rate of 13.0% on services provided within Costa Rica now applies to both domestic and foreign service providers. Capital gains taxes are now imposed at a rate of 15.0% on sales of assets located in Costa Rica. New income tax withholding rates are now imposed on salaries and other employee benefits at the rates of 25.0% and 20.0%, depending on the salary bracket. Finally, a new thin capitalization rule provides that interest expenses paid to entities other than members of the Costa Rican financial system that exceed 20.0% of a company’s EBITDA are not deductible for income tax purposes.
Panama
Until November 17, 2019, Panama imposed an excise tax of 5.0% on carbonated beverages and imported non-carbonated beverages and a 10.0% selective consumption tax on syrups, powders and concentrate used to produce sugary drinks. On November 18, 2019, Panama replaced such excise tax with an excise tax of 7.0% on carbonated beverages with more than 7.5 grams of sugar or any caloric sweetener per 100 ml, and a 10.0% tax on syrups, powders and concentrate used to produce sugary drinks. As of January 1, 2020, Panama imposes an excise tax of 5.0% on non-carbonated beverages with more than 7.5 grams of sugar or any caloric sweetener per 100 ml, whether imported or produced locally. Beverages derived from dairy products, grains or cereals, nectars, fruit juices and vegetables with natural fruit concentrates are exempt from this tax.
F-78

Nicaragua
On March 1, 2019, a tax reform became effective in Nicaragua, increasing the excise tax for all beverages (except for water) from 9.0% to 11.0%; to 13.0% on January 1, 2020; and to 15.0% starting on January 1, 2021. In addition, starting on March 1, 2019, the minimum alternative income tax increased from 1.0% to 3.0%.
Uruguay
On December 31, 2021 Uruguayan government issued an executive decree that increased the excise tax from 19% to 22% for energy drinks that should have applied beginning January 2022.
On December 29, 2020, the Uruguayan government issued an executive decree to modify the way the excise tax credit of beverages sold in returnable bottles is calculated, which excise tax credit is currently 1.15 Uruguayan pesos (Ps.0.53 as of December 31, 2021) per liter. Starting on January 1, 2021 and until June 30, 2021, the excise tax credit was calculated based on the ratio of purchases made by any company in Uruguay selling returnable bottles produced in Uruguay in the last three years to the total purchases of returnable bottles made by such company in and outside Uruguay in the last three years. The Uruguayan government did not issue another executive decree with the rules so since July 1st, 2021, this tax credit is not longer applicable.

While provision for all claims has already been made, the actual outcome of the disputes and the timing of the resolution cannot be estimated by the Company at this time.
24.6 Unsettled lawsuits
The Company has entered into several proceedings with its labor unions, tax authorities and other parties that primarily involve Coca-Cola FEMSA and its subsidiaries. These proceedings have arisen in the ordinary course of business and are common to the industry in which the Company operates. Such contingencies were classified by the Company as less than probable but not remote, the estimated amount including uncertain tax position as of December 31, 2021 of these lawsuits is Ps. 102,659, however, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such proceedings will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or result of operations.
The Company has tax disputes, most of which are related to its Brazilian operations, with loss expectations assessed by management and supported by the analysis of legal counsel considered as possible. The main possible tax contingencies of Brazilian operations amount to approximately Ps. 55,288. This refers to various tax disputes related primarily to: (i) Ps. 8,573 of credits for ICMS (VAT);
F-80

(ii) Ps. 30,821 related to tax credits of IPI over raw materials acquired from Free Trade Zone Manaus; (iii) Claims of Ps. 4,766 related to compensation of federal taxes not approved by the Tax authorities; (iv) Ps. 8,549 relating to questions about the amortization of goodwill generated in acquisitions operations; and (v) Ps. 2,579 relating to liability over the operations of a third party, former distributor, in the period from 2001 to 2003. The Company is defending its position in these matters and final decision is pending in court.
After conducting a thorough analysis, during 2021 the Company has decided to reverse its temporary decision to suspend tax credits on concentrate purchased from the Manaus Free Trade Zone in Brazil. As a result, the Company has recognized an extraordinary benefit of Ps. 1,083 million in the cost of goods sold equivalent to the accumulated credit suspended since 2019 and until the first quarter of 2021. This decision was supported by recent developments and opinions from external advisors.
In recent years in its Mexican and Brazilian territories, Coca-Cola FEMSA has been requested to present certain information regarding possible monopolistic practices. These requests are commonly generated in the ordinary course of business in the soft drink industry where these subsidiaries operate. The Company does not expect any material liability to arise from these contingencies.
24.7 Collateralized contingencies
As is customary in Brazil, the Company has been required by the tax authorities there to collateralize tax contingencies currently in litigation amounting to Ps. 10,721, Ps. 7,342 and Ps. 10,471 as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, by pledging fixed assets and entering into available lines of credit covering the contingencies. Also as disclosed in Note 7.2 there is some restricted cash in Brazil relates to short term deposits in order to fulfill the collateral requirements for accounts payable.
24.8 Commitments
The Company has signed commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of Ps. 726 and Ps. 432 as December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Note 25. Information by segment
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who periodically reviews financial information at the country level. Thus, each of the separate countries in which the Company operates is considered an operating segment.
The Company has aggregated operating segments into the following reporting segments for the purposes of its consolidated financial statements: (i) Mexico and Central America division (comprising the following countries: Mexico (including corporate operations), Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama), and (ii) the South America division (comprising the following countries: Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay).
The Company is of the view that the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the aggregated operating segments are similar in nature for all periods presented. In evaluating the appropriateness of aggregating operating segments, the key indicators considered included but were not limited to:(i) similarities of customer base, products, production processes and distribution processes, (ii) similarities of governments, (iii) currency trends and (iv) historical and projected financial and operating statistics, historically and according to our estimates the financial trends of the countries aggregated into an operating segment have behaved in similar ways and are expected to continue to do so.
Segment disclosure for the Company’s consolidated operations is as follows:

Note 26. Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards not yet in Effect:
The Company has not applied the following standards, amendments and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Amendments to IAS 1
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
•What is meant by a right to defer settlement
•That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
•That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
•That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice and whether existing loan agreements may require renegotiation.
Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3
In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, issued in 1989, with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements.
The Board also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately.
At the same time, the Board decided to clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and apply prospectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16
In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16, which prohibit entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it
F-83

to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity will recognize the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendments.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to IAS 37
In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making.
The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments.
I - Subsidiary as a first-time adopter - amendment to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 1. The amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS. This amendment will also be applied to an associate or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted.
Fees in the ’10 per cent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities - amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
As part of its 2019-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9. The amendments clarify the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendments.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendments.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces a definition of “accounting estimates”. The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements, in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.
F-84

The amendments to IAS 1 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non-mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary.
‘Income Taxes’ Amendments to IAS 12,
On May 7, 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 “Income Tax”
The amendments require companies to recognize deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments modify paragraphs 15, 22 and 24 of IAS 12, which state that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to operations that at the time of initial recognition give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier adoption permitted.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
