Arca Continental reaffirms its position for profitable growth

• Arca Continental continues to consolidate its financial and operational strength to drive profitable and sustainable growth across all its markets.
• Fitch Ratings reaffirms Arca Continental's global 'A' and national 'AAA(mex)' credit ratings, highlighting the company’s strong fundamentals, low leverage, and positive cash flow.

Monterrey, Mexico, June 25th, 2025 – Thanks to a strategy focused on operational efficiency, geographic diversification, and financial discipline, Arca Continental continues to strengthen its position as one of the leading bottlers worldwide, building a solid foundation to drive sustained and profitable growth across the markets where it operates.

With operations in five countries and presence in both emerging and developed markets, the company has maintained stable margins, positive cash flows, and a solid financial structure. This strength was recently reaffirmed by Fitch Ratings, which upheld our credit risk ratings at ‘A’ on a global scale and ‘AAA(mex)’ on a national scale, both with a stable outlook.

Key highlights from Fitch's analysis include:

• Projected revenue growth of nearly 6% annually for 2025 and 2026, driven by volume increases and pricing strategies.

• Strong EBITDA margins, estimated at around 20%, supported by efficiency initiatives and cost control.

• Positive free cash flow, even after covering annual investments of MXN18 billion and dividends of MXN12 billion.

• Low and stable leverage, with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of just 0.4x at the end of the first quarter of 2025.

These figures reflect our ability to invest strategically in the business while maintaining a strong financial foundation. In addition, our diversified portfolio—which includes beverages and snacks under brands such as Bokados, Wise, and Inalecsa—and our capacity to generate revenue in hard currency provide resilience in the face of complex economic scenarios.

With this foundation, Arca Continental moves forward with determination to face challenges in the market and seize the opportunities the future holds.
