EBITDA margin rose to 28.5% compared to a 25.3% margin in the third quarter of 2000.

Integral cost of financing reached Ps. 42.2 million for the third quarter of 2001, which was substantially lower than the Ps. 165.9 million expense in the third quarter of 2000. The following factors contributed to the net decrease:

        --  The Company's foreign exchange gain reached Ps. 26.7
            million during the third quarter of 2001. This gain
            reflected the effect of the depreciation of the Mexican
            peso against the U.S. dollar applied to the U.S.
            dollar-denominated cash position of the Company during the
            third quarter of 2001, as well as the recognition of some
            of the gains generated from the unwinding of US$30 million
            dollar forward contracts during July 2001, from the
            hedging program implemented by the Company to protect
            itself against foreign exchange fluctuations between the
            Argentine peso and the U.S. dollar.

        --  Net interest expense decreased by 65.4% due to increased
            interest income resulting from the Company's higher cash
            holdings relative to the third quarter of 2000.

        --  The loss on monetary position was generated by the Mexican

            Argentine operations.


Consolidated net income increased by 96.2% from Ps. 267.9 million in the third quarter of 2000 to Ps. 525.7 million for the same period in 2001. Net income per share reached Ps. 0.37 (US$0.39 per ADR ADR - Astra Digital Radio ).

Income from Operations

During the third quarter of 2001, administrative expenses increased by 1.0%, mainly reflecting an increase in real wages and salaries. Selling expenses decreased by 4.9% due to a decrease in distribution expenses and lower bottle and case breakage expenses resulting from a higher non-returnable volume mix.

"Our Argentine operations continue to achieve volume growth and margin expansion despite the challenging economic environment in Argentina. Coca-Cola FEMSA has accomplished these results by implementing successfully product development, revenue management, channel marketing and cost-cutting initiatives. These strategies have helped the Company regain its path to growth and increase its profitability," stated Carlos Salazar, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Sales Volume

Sales volume in the Argentine territory amounted to 29.7 MUC for the third quarter of 2001, an increase of 12.8% over the third quarter of 2000.

The sales volume increase in Buenos Aires was attributable to (i) the volume growth of the premium brands, Coca-Cola Light, Sprite Light and Schweppes Schweppes may refer to:
  • Cadbury Schweppes, a major confectionery and beverage company
  • Schweppes (brand), the Schweppes beverages produced by both Schweppes International and The Coca-Cola Company
  • Schweppes International, a subsidiary of Cadbury Schweppes

, which represented 12.3% of our total product mix during the third quarter of 2001.

Average revenue per unit case amounted to A$2.63 per unit case, a decrease of 10.2% as compared to the third quarter of 2000. The decrease in average price per unit case was attributable to (i) increased sales of value protection brands, which have a lower price-per-ounce than the core brands, and (ii) a shift in product mix toward larger packaging presentations.

Nonetheless, the increase in sale volume more than offset the decrease in the average unit case price, resulting in a net sales increase of 1.3% relative to the same period last year. Other revenues amounted to A$2.7 million, representing mainly sales from toll bottling to other bottlers of the Coca-Cola system in Argentina. The Company's total revenues in Argentina reached A$80.9 million, a 4.0% increase as compared with the same quarter of 2000.

Gross Profit

The cost of goods sold remained essentially flat, decreasing by 0.2% as compared to the third quarter of 2000. As a percentage of net sales, however, the cost of goods sold decreased, resulting in a gross margin improvement of 3.5 percentage points to 46.9% of net sales from 43.4% recorded in the third quarter of 2000.

Gross margin expansion resulted from (i) lower concentrate costs, and (ii) realization of fixed-cost reductions resulting from productivity and efficiency initiatives in progress.

Income from Operations

During the third quarter of 2001, administrative expenses decreased 14.8% and selling expenses increased by 14.8%, as compared with the third quarter of 2000. Similar to the second quarter of 2001, the decrease in administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2001 reflected savings achieved from the workforce reduction in January January: see month.  of this year, while the increase in selling expenses during this quarter represented mainly higher local marketing expenses as explained last quarter, and higher freight The price or compensation paid for the transportation of goods by a carrier. Freight is also applied to the goods transported by such carriers.

The liability of a carrier for freight damaged, lost, or destroyed during shipment is determined by contract, statute, or
 and commission costs due to a higher sales volume.

As compared to the third quarter of 2000, administrative expenses decreased by 1.3 percentage points to 5.7% while selling expenses increased by 3.1 percentage points to 33.6%, both as percentage of total revenues.

The gross margin improvement more than offset the increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total sales, resulting in an operating margin expansion of 0.3 percentage points from 4.6% in the third quarter of 2000 to 4.9% in the third quarter of 2001.

Operating profit for the period was A$4.0 million, an increase of 11.1%, and EBITDA reached A$11.1 million, an increase of 15.6%, as compared to the third quarter of 2000.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

During the third quarter of 2001, Coca-Cola FEMSA launched in its Mexican territories a new 250-ml. non-returnable PET presentation for Lift and Fanta, the apple- and orange-flavored carbonated Coca-Cola trademark brands, and a new eight-ounce non-returnable glass presentation for the Coca-Cola brand.
