The company faces headwinds from global economic conditions, including inflation, which has led to further increases in the costs of labor, raw materials, utilities and services. The imposition of new import tariffs by the U.S. and retaliatory tariffs by Mexico or other countries could negatively affect the company's business. Geopolitical conflicts, including the ongoing military conflict involving Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East, have resulted in volatile commodity markets, supply chain disruptions, and greater risk of cyber incidents. The Mexican economy continues to be heavily influenced by the U.S. economy, and deterioration in economic conditions in the U.S. may hinder any recovery in Mexico.

The company faces constraints from regulatory developments in the countries where it operates, including changes in laws and regulations related to labor, zoning, operations, environmental, health and safety, anti-bribery, energy, taxation, antitrust, anti-money laundering, and cybersecurity. The company is also subject to additional regulations applicable to payment providers and fintechs in the markets where it conducts Spin operations. Price controls or voluntary price restraints in the countries where the company operates may limit its ability to set prices for its products. The company also faces risks related to water shortages, which could adversely affect Coca-Cola FEMSA's business.

Risk Factors

Coca-Cola FEMSA's business depends on its relationship with The Coca-Cola Company, as substantially all of its sales are derived from Coca-Cola trademark beverages, and termination of any bottler agreement would prevent Coca-Cola FEMSA from selling those beverages in the affected territory. The company faces risks from foreign exchange rate volatility, as Mexican peso-denominated debt represented 53.4% of total debt as of December 31, 2025 , and a severe devaluation of the Mexican peso could disrupt the ability to transfer or convert pesos into U.S. dollars for making timely payments on U.S. dollar-denominated debt. The company also faces risks from adverse economic conditions in Mexico, which accounted for 64% of consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 , and the Mexican economy is heavily influenced by the U.S. economy. Additionally, the company faces risks from cybersecurity incidents and system disruptions, which could result in unauthorized disclosure of material confidential information, violations of data privacy laws, and damage to reputation, and as the company grows its digital business, it expects to hold more personal information of customers, increasing these risks.

Management Priorities

Management's message emphasizes the FEMSA Forward strategy, announced in February 2023, which focuses on core business verticals with the highest strategic relevance, growth potential, and financial and competitive strengths: retail businesses, Coca-Cola FEMSA, and digital solutions business. The strategic framework is comprised of six priorities: continued growth, going digital, think global, rooted sustainability, talent and culture, and proactive engagement with audiences. The company aims to generate economic and social value through its business units. In September 2025, the company announced the appointment of Jose Antonio Fernández Garza Lagüera as CEO, effective November 1, 2025.
