• Brazil and South America delivered strong momentum (Brazil Q4 volumes +2.6%; Coke Zero +44%, Sprite Zero +93% in 2025), with capacity and warehouse expansions (+8.2% manufacturing capacity, +6% pallet positions) supporting market share gains and an early expectation of positive volumes in Brazil for 2026.
• Digital enablers are scaling: Juntos+ Advisor rollout improved geo‑efficiency (~+5.5 pp Mexico, +9.2 pp Brazil), MAUs and loyalty adoption rose, and management plans further rollouts (Colombia, Guatemala) as a core growth and execution lever.
• Financial position strengthened via a MXN 10 billion bond (10y fixed + 3y floating tranches) and high local ratings, but management is pausing decisions on shareholder distributions pending H1 cash flow visibility after the tax impact; working capital distortions from prior ERP implementation have normalized.
