Basis of Preparation	Note 2. Basis of Preparation 2.1 Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements 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 Eduardo Padilla Silva and the Chief Corporate Financial Officer Gerardo Estrada Attolini on February 21, 2020. These consolidated financial statements and notes were then approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 27, 2020 and by the Shareholder meeting on March 20, 2020. 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 Corporate Financial Officer on April 2 8 20 2.2 Basis of measurement and presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except for the following: • Derivative financial instruments. • Trust assets of post-employment and other long-term employee benefit plans. • Investments in equity instruments and some financial liabilities. The carrying values of assets and liabilities 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 restated in terms of the measuring unit at the end of the reporting period. 2.2.1 Presentation of consolidated income statement The Company’s consolidated income statement classifies its related costs and expenses by function accordingly within the industry practices in which the Company operates. 2.2.2 Presentation of consolidated statements of cash flows The Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows is presented 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, 2019 the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 were converted into U.S. dollars at closing exchange rate of 18.8600 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of December 31, 2019. This arithmetic conversion should not be construed as representation that amounts expressed in Mexican pesos may be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other exchange rate. As explained in Note 2.1 above, as of April 24, 2020 the exchange rate was Ps. 24.8225 per U.S. dollar, a devaluation of 32% since December 31, 2019. 2.3 Critical accounting judgments and estimates For the application of the Company’s accounting policies, as 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 apparent from other sources. The estimates and 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 it affects only such period or in the current or subsequent periods of the revision if this affects both. Judgements In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, the most significant effects of which are included on consolidated financial statements. 2.3.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty as of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the subsequent financial period. 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 would be included in the assumptions when they occur. 2.3.1.1 Impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets, goodwill and depreciable long-lived assets Intangible assets with indefinite lives including goodwill are subject to impairment tests annually or whenever indicators of impairment are present. An 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 value-in-use The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that a long-lived asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value-in-use, pre-tax If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries 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 3.20 and 13. 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 3.15, 3.18, 11 and 13. 2.3.1.3 Post-employment and other non-current The Company regularly evaluates the reasonableness of the assumptions used in its post-employment and other long-term employee benefit computations. Information about such assumptions is described in Note 17. 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 timing and level of future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and available tax planning strategies, see Note 25. 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 26. 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 and 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. 2.3.1.6 Valuation of financial instruments The Company measures 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 21. 2.3.1.7 Business combinations 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 At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognized and measured at their fair value, except that: • 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 Employee Benefits, • Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based compensation arrangements of the acquiree or share-based compensation arrangements of the Company entered into to replace share-based compensation arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based Payment • Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current • Indemnifiable assets are recognized at the acquisition date on the same basis as the indemnified 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 2.3.1.8 Equity accounted investees 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 requires 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 in a position 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 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 certain indicators that provide evidence of significant influence, such as: • Whether the extent of the Company’s ownership is significant relative to other shareholders (i.e., a lack of concentration of other shareholders); • Whether the Company’s significant shareholders, fellow subsidiaries, or officers hold additional investment in the investee; and • Whether the Company is a part of significant investee’s board of director committees, such as the executive committee or the finance committee. 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 assesses 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. When assessing joint control, management considers the following facts and circumstances such as: a) Whether all the parties or a group of the parties, control the arrangement, considering definition of joint control, as described in Note 3.14; and b) Whether decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of all the parties, or of a group of the parties. As mentioned in Note 4, until January 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA accounted for its 51% investment in Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, Inc. (“CCFPI”) as a joint venture, this was based on the facts that Coca-Cola FEMSA and TCCC: (i) make all operating decisions jointly during the initial four-year period and (ii) potential voting rights to acquire the remaining 49% of CCFPI were not probable to be exercised in the foreseeable future and the fact that the call option remains “out of the money” as of December 31, 2017. In January 2017, the arrangement between Coca-Cola FEMSA and TCCC for joint control of CCFPI expired; therefore, Coca-Cola FEMSA started to consolidate the operations of CCFPI effective February 2017. On August 16, 2018, Coca-Cola FEMSA announced the exercise of the put option to sell its 51% stake in CCFPI back to TCCC. Therefore, its operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated income statements. 2.3.1.9 Venezuela exchange rates and deconsolidation As is explained in Note 3.3 below, effective December 31, 2017, the Company deconsolidated its Coca-Cola FEMSA subsidiary’s operations in Venezuela due to the political and economic environment in that country and began accounting for its investments under the fair value method. Consequently, beginning January 1, 2018, all changes in the fair value of the investment, including foreign currency translation differences are recognized for Venezuela’s operations in “Other comprehensive income, net of tax.” 2.3.1.10 Leases Information on assumptions and estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in an adjustment to the carrying value of right-of-use • If 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. • Determination of the non-cancellable 2.4 Application of recently issued accounting standards The Company has applied the following amendments to IFRS during 2019: 2.4.1 IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 supersedes International Accounting Standard (IAS) 17, Leases Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease Operating Leases-Incentives Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease on-balance right-of-use Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in IAS 17. Therefore, IFRS 16 did not have an impact for leases where the Group is the lessor. The Company applied the modified retrospective approach, under which, the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings as from January 1, 2019. The main changes on leases accounting policy is disclosed below. Definition of a lease Previously, the Company had determined at each contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under “IAS 17 – Leases” and “IFRIC 4 – Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease”. Under IFRS 16, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 3. The Company elected to apply the transition practical expedient known as “Grandfather” which allows at the date of initial application to consider as a lease only those contracts previously identified as such in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 applies only to those contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019. Accounting as a lessee As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as either operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether substantially all the rights and risk incidental to ownership of an asset are transferred from the lessor to the lessee. Under IFRS 16, the Company recognizes a right-of-use At transition date, the Company recognized a lease liability measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments during the non-cancellable Right-of-use The following practical expedients permitted by IFRS 16 were applied to lease contracts previously accounted for as operating leases under IAS 17 at the transition date only: • A single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. • Not to recognize right-of-use low-value • Exclude initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use • Use hindsight information when de termining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. As of January 1, 2019, the main effects in the relevant line items of FEMSA’s statement of financial position were as follows: Operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2018 Ps. 82,216 Discounted operating lease commitments 50,827 Less: Commitments relating to short-term leases and low-value 699 Add: Commitments relating to leases previously classified as finance leases 92 Lease liabilities and right-of-use Ps. 50,220 As of the date of the adoption, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 9.84%. 2.4.2 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 (tax 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. The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and has been adopted in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company applied the modified retrospective approach and has performed a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the impacts in the consolidated financial statements derived from IFRIC 23 adoption. Such evaluation includes the following activities described below: i) Review of the Company’s policies through which tax treatments are revised and accounted, this includes evidence from business units delivered to external advisors. ii) Analysis of the tax memorandums prepared by the external tax advisor which support the Company’s tax treatment over an uncertain tax position about a) how tax earnings (losses) are calculated, b) tax basis or losses are applied, c) tax credits are applied, and d) how tax rates in different jurisdictions are considered. iii) Documentation of the tax correspondence received in the Company’s and subsidiaries business units in order to analyze any recent resolution adopted from the tax authority regarding tax positions. iv) Analysis of the tax position report of the Company on a monthly basis. The Company concluded that there were no significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the IFRIC 23.

Significant Accounting Policies	Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies 3.1 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company. 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 arrangements with the other vote holders of the investee; • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and • The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights. The Company re-assesses 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 non-controlling 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, income, 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 • 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 Acquisitions of non-controlling non-controlling paid-in 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. 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 non-controlling Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling non-controlling Costs, other than those associated with the issuance 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 remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent considerations 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 in which the accounting is incomplete and discloses that its allocation is preliminary in nature. Those provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively 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 remeasures 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, see Note 3.14. The Company sometimes obtains control of an acquiree without transferring consideration. The acquisition method of accounting for a business combination, applies to those combinations as follows: (a) The acquiree repurchases a sufficient number of its own shares for the Company to obtain control. (b) Minority veto rights lapse that previously kept the Company from controlling an acquiree in which it held the majority voting rights. (c) The Company and the acquiree agree to combine their businesses by contract alone 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, consolidation of foreign subsidiaries and accounting of equity accounted investees In preparing the financial statements of each individual subsidiary and accounting for equity accounted investees, 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 retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in consolidated net income in the period in which they arise except for: • The variations in the net investment in foreign subsidiaries generated by exchange rate fluctuation which are included in other comprehensive income, which is recorded in equity as part of cumulative translation adjustment within the accumulated other comprehensive income; • Intercompany financing balances with foreign subsidiaries are considered as long-term investments when there is no plan to pay such financing in the foreseeable future. Monetary position and exchange rate fluctuation regarding this financing is recorded in the exchange differences on translation of foreign operations within the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) item, which is recorded in equity; and • 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 non-operating For incorporation into the Company’s consolidated financial statements, each foreign subsidiary, associates or joint venture’s individual financial statements are translated into Mexican pesos, as follows: • For entities operating in hyperinflationary economic environments, the inflation effects of the origin country are recognized pursuant IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies year-end • For entities operating in non-hyperinflationary year-end 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 accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed non-controlling 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 arising are recognized in equity as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. 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.

Such deteriorating conditions had significantly impacted Coca-Cola FEMSA’s ability to manage its capital structure, its capacity to purchase raw materials and limitations of portfolio dynamics. In addition, certain government controls over pricing, restriction over labor practices, acquisition of U.S. dollars and imports, has affected the normal course of business. Therefore, and due to the fact that its Venezuelan subsidiary will continue doing operations in Venezuela, as of December 31, 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA changed the method of accounting for its investment in Venezuela from consolidation to fair value measured using a Level 3 concept. As a result of the deconsolidation, Coca-Cola FEMSA also recorded loss within other expenses for an amount of Ps. 28,176 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Such effect includes the reclassification of Ps. 26,123 previously recorded as exchange differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and equity accounted investees in equity, impairment equal to Ps. 745 and Ps. 1,098 mainly from distribution rights and property, plant and equipment, respectively, and Ps. 210 for the remeasurement at fair-value of Venezuelan investment. Prior to deconsolidation, during 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s Venezuelan operations contributed Ps. 4,005 to net sales, and losses of Ps. 2,223 to net income. Its total assets were Ps. 4,138 and the total liabilities were Ps. 2,889. Beginning on January 1, 2018, Coca-Cola FEMSA recognizes its investment in Venezuela under the fair value through OCI method following the IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Exchange rate Until December 31, 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s recognition of its Venezuelan operations involved a two-step Step-one.- non-bolivar Step-two.- In December 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA translated the Venezuela entity figures at an exchange rate of 22,793 bolivars per U.S. dollar, as such exchange rate better represents the economic conditions in Venezuela. Coca-Cola FEMSA considers that this exchange rate provides more useful and relevant information with respect to Venezuela’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. On January 30, 2018, a new auction of the DICOM celebrated by Venezuela’s government resulted on an estimated exchange rate of 25,000 bolivar per U.S. dollar. 3.4 Recognition of the effects of inflation in countries with hyperinflationary economic environments The Company recognizes the effects of inflation on the financial information of its subsidiaries that operates in hyperinflationary economic environments (when cumulative inflation of the three preceding years is approaching, or exceeds, 100% or more in addition to other qualitative factors), which consists of: • Using inflation factors to restate non-monetary • Applying the appropriate inflation factors to restate capital stock, additional paid-in • Including 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 of each country (“CPI”). As disclosed in Note 3.3, Coca-Cola FEMSA deconsolidated its Venezuelan operations. Consequently, the Venezuelan investment is no longer consolidated by Coca-Cola FEMSA, however, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s Venezuelan subsidiary will continue operating. As of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the operations of the Company are classified as follows: Country Cumulative Type of Economy Cumulative Type of Economy Cumulative Type of Economy Mexico 13.2 % Non-hyperinflationary 15.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 12.7 % Non-hyperinflationary Guatemala 11.8 % Non-hyperinflationary 12.2 % Non-hyperinflationary 13.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Costa Rica 5.8 % Non-hyperinflationary 5.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Panama 0.5 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.1 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Colombia 11.0 % Non-hyperinflationary 13.4 % Non-hyperinflationary 17.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Nicaragua 15.6 % Non-hyperinflationary 13.1 % Non-hyperinflationary 12.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Argentina (a) 179.4 % Hyperinflationary 158.4 % Hyperinflationary 101.5 % Hyperinflationary Venezuela — — — — 30,690.0 % Hyperinflationary Brazil 11.1 % Non-hyperinflationary 25.0 % Non-hyperinflationary 21.1 % Non-hyperinflationary Philippines — — 11.9 % Non-hyperinflationary 7.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Euro Zone 3.6 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.7 % Non-hyperinflationary Chile 8.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.7 % Non-hyperinflationary Peru 5.2 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Ecuador 0.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 30.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 30.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Uruguay 22.0 % Non-hyperinflationary 25.3 % Non-hyperinflationary — – a) Argentina Beginning on July 1, 2018, Argentina was classified as hyperinflationary economy based on several consumer price indexes of the country. Therefore, the financial statements of the subsidiary were remeasured in its functional currency (Argentine peso) but they were not restated in its presentation currency (Mexican pesos) as it is not stated as a hyperinflationary economy. In addition, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods were not restated for comparative purposes. 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 • Recognize the monetary position gain or loss in consolidated net income. The Federacion Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (“FACPCE”) 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 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). 3.5 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash is comprised of deposits in bank accounts which generate an interest on the available balance. Cash equivalents are mainly represented by short-term bank deposits and fixed-income investments (overnight), both with maturities of three months or less and their carrying values approximate fair value. The Company also maintains restricted cash which is insured as collateral to meet certain contractual obligations. Restricted cash is presented within other current financial assets given that, by their nature, the restrictions are short-term. 3.6 Investments The investments include debt securities and bank deposits with a maturity of more than three months as of the acquisition date. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and evaluates that classification at the date of each statement of financial position, see Notes 6 and 14. 3.7 Financial assets Financial assets are classified within the following business models depending on management’s objective: (i) “held to maturity to recover cash flows”, (ii) “held to maturity and to sell financial assets” and (iii) “others or held for trading”, including derivatives assigned in hedging instruments with efficient hedge, as appropriate. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of holding the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The Company performs a portfolio – level assessment of the business model in which a financial asset is managed to accomplish with Company’s risk management purposes. 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 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 three 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 is not 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 part of the contractual provisions of the instrument. The fair value of an asset is measured using assumptions that would be used by market participants when valuing the asset, assuming that the transaction is orderly and takes place in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset. During 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. 3.7.1 Financial assets at amortized cost A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the following two conditions and is not designated as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”): • Its 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. The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount of the initial recognition less the principal payments, plus or less the accumulated amortization using the effective interest rate method of any difference between the initial amount and the amount as of the maturity and, for financial assets, adjusted for loss of impairment. The financial product, exchange fluctuation and impairment are recognized in results. Any profit or loss is also recognized in the same way in results. 3.7.2 Effective interest rate method (“ERR”) The effective interest rate method consists in calculating the amortized cost of loans and accounts receivables and other financial assets (measured at amortized cost) and allocating interest income/expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form 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 initial recognition. 3.7.3 Financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) A financial asset is measured in FVOCI if it meets the following two conditions and is not designated as FVTPL: • Its managed within a business model whose objective is achieved through the collection of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and • The contractual terms are only payments of the principal and interest on the amount of the outstanding principal. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The financial product calculated using the internal rate of return (“IRR”), the exchange 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 case of disposals, the accumulated gains and losses in OCI are reclassified to profit and loss. In the initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not 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 has to be made for each investment. Equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as profit in results unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses, related to changes in fair value, are recognized in OCI and are considered items that will not be reclassified to consolidated net income in subsequent periods. 3.7.4 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets designated as fair value through profit and loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated at initial recognition as fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are allocated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the balance sheet with changes in fair value presented as financial costs (net negative changes in fair value) or financial products (net positive changes in fair value) in profit or loss, including any dividend income. 3.7.5 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 only principal and interest payments. The Company considers the contractual terms of the financial instrument 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. In making this evaluation, the Company considers the following: • Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows; • 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 only principal and interest payments 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 of prepaid represents substantially the contractual amount and accrued interest (but not paid); which may include additional compensation for the early termination of the contract. 3.7.6 Impairment of financial assets The Company recognizes impairment due to expected credit loss (“ECL”) in: • Financial assets measured at amortized cost; • Debt investments measured at FVOCI; and • Other contractual assets. Impairment losses on accounts receivable, contractual assets and leasing receivables are measured at the amount that equals the lifetime expected loss of credit, whether or not it has a significant component. The Company applies the criteria to all accounts receivable, contractual assets and leasing credits, together or separately. The Company measures impairment losses at an amount that equals to lifetime ECL, except for the following: • Debt instruments classified as low credit risk; and • Other debt instruments in which the credit risk (irrecoverability risk over the financial instrument expected life) 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 sustainable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. It includes qualitative and quantitative analysis based on Company’s experience and credit assessment. 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 at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. The Company annually evaluates if there was evidence of an impairment. Some observable data that financial assets were impaired includes: • Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower; • A breach of contract, such as default or past due event; • Granting concessions due to the borrower’s financial difficulties in which Company would not consider in other circumstances. • It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; • The disappearance of an active market for a financial instrument because of financial difficulties; or • Information indicating that there was a measurable decrease in the expected cash flows of a group of financial assets. For a capital instrument, evidence of impairment includes a significant decrease in its fair value even lower than its carrying value. The impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost is reduced from the book value and for financial assets measured at FVOCI, the impairment loss is recognized as profit or loss within OCI. 3.7.7 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 cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full 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 nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 3.7.8 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 when 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. 3.8 Other financial assets Other financial assets include long term accounts receivable, derivative financial instruments and recoverable contingencies acquired from business combinations. Long term accounts receivable with a stated term are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. 3.9 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 Mexican peso 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 FVTPL or FVOCI, 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. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded each period in current earnings otherwise as a component of cumulative other comprehensive income based on the item being hedged and the effectiveness of the hedge. 3.9.1 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. 3.9.2 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 other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading 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 income statements. 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 consolidated net income, in the same line of the consolidated income statement as the recognized hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial non-financial non-financial non-financial 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 l

Mergers, Acquisitions and Disposals 4.1 Mergers and acquisitions The Company has consummated certain mergers and acquisitions during 2019, 2018 and 2017; which were recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of the acquired operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date on which the Company obtained control of the business, as disclosed below. Therefore, the consolidated income statements and the consolidated statements of financial position in the year of such acquisitions are not comparable with previous periods. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 show the cash outflow and inflow for the merged and acquired operations net of the cash acquired related to those mergers and acquisitions. 4.1.1 Acquisitions of Coca-Cola FEMSA Coca-Cola FEMSA finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for acquisitions completed during the prior year, with no significant variations to the preliminary allocation to the fair value of the net assets acquired, which were included in its audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily related to the following: (1) acquisition of 100% of the Alimentos y Bebidas del Atlántico, S.A.

The Company is in the process of finalizing the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This process is expected to be completed for each acquisition within 12 months of the acquisition date. The preliminary allocation on the aggregated purchase prices to the fair value of the net assets acquired is as follows: 2019 Total current assets (including cash acquired of Ps. 389) Ps. 4,085 Total non-current 5,250 Total assets 9,335 Total liabilities 8,153 Net assets acquired 1,182 Goodwill 6,542 Non-controlling (53 ) Total consideration transferred 7,671 Amount to be paid (147 ) Cash acquired (389 ) Net cash paid 7,135 During 2019, FEMSA Comercio has been allocated goodwill in the acquisitions in FEMSA Comercio- Health Division in Ecuador and Colombia.

Disposals 4.2.1 Discontinued operations (Coca-Cola On August 16, 2018, Coca-Cola FEMSA announced its decision to exercise the put option to sell its 51% stake in CCFPI to The Coca-Cola Company. Such decision was approved by the Company’s board on August 6, 2018. Consequently beginning August 31, 2018 CCFPI had been classified as an asset held for sale and its operations as a discontinued operation in the financial statements for December 31, 2017 and 2018. Previously CCFPI represented the Asia division and was considered an independent segment until December 31, 2017. Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines operations was sold on December 13, 2018. In addition, the income statement as of December 2017 was restated. Income statement of discontinued operations For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the income statement of discontinued operations was as follows: 2018 2017 Total revenues Ps. 24,167 Ps. 20,524 Cost of goods sold 17,360 12,346 Gross profit 6,807 8,178 Operating expenses 5,750 6,865 Other expenses, net 7 134 Financial income, net (185 ) (64 ) Foreign exchange gain, net (73 ) (22 ) Income before income taxes 1,308 1,265 Income taxes 466 370 Net income for discontinued operations Ps. 842 Ps. 895 Less: non-controlling 391 469 Controlling interest in discontinued operations Ps. 451 Ps . 426 Accumulated currency translation effect for the subsidiary disposal (811 ) 2,830 Gain from sale 3,335 — Net income for subsidiary disposal – controlling interest 2,975 3,256 Net income from discontinued operations Ps. 3,366 Ps. 3,725 4.2.2 Heineken During 2017, the Company sold a portion of its investment in Heineken Group, representing 5.2% of economic interest for Ps. 53,051 in an all cash transaction. With this transaction the Company took advantage of a Repatriation of Capital Decree issued by the Mexican government which was valid from January 19 until October 19, 2017; through this decree, a fiscal benefit was attributed to the Company due to repatriated resources obtained from the sale of shares. The Company recognized a gain of Ps. 29,989, as a result of the sales of shares within other income, which is the difference between the fair value of the consideration received and the book value of the net assets disposed.

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill and distribution rights allocated to each CGU are as follows: December 31, December 31, Mexico Ps. 56,352 Ps. 56,352 Guatemala 1,679 1,853 Nicaragua 420 460 Costa Rica 1,442 1,417 Panama 1,131 1,182 Colombia 4,367 4,600 Brazil 38,765 42,153 Argentina 306 327 Uruguay 2,626 3,003 Total Ps. 107,088 Ps. 111,347 Goodwill and distribution rights are tested for impairments annually. The recoverable amounts are based on value in use. The value in use of a CGU is determined based on the discounted cash flows method. The key assumptions used in projecting cash flows are: volume, expected annual long-term inflation, and the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to discount the projected cash flows. The cash flow forecasts could differ from the results obtained over time; however, Coca-Cola FEMSA prepares its estimates based on the current situation of each of the CGUs. To determine the discount rate, Coca-Cola FEMSA 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 impairment test for each CGU consider market participants’ assumptions. Market participants were selected taking into consideration the size, operations and characteristics of the businesses that are similar to those of Coca-Cola FEMSA. 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 in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the opportunity cost to a market participant, considering the specific circumstances of Coca-Cola FEMSA 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 Company’s investors. The cost of debt is estimated based on the interest-bearing borrowings Coca-Cola FEMSA is obliged to service, which is equivalent to the cost of debt based on the conditions that a creditor in the market would consider. Segment-specific risk is incorporated by applying beta factors which are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data. 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 • Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the five-year business plan. Cash flows for a further five-year were forecasted maintaining the same stable growth and margins per country of the last year base. Coca-Cola FEMSA believes that this forecasted period is justified due to the non-current • Cash flows after the first ten-year • A per CGU-specific The key assumptions by CGU for impairment test as of December 31, 2019 were as follows: CGU Pre-tax WACC Post-tax WACC Expected Annual Long-Term Inflation Expected Volume Mexico 7.3 % 5.2 % 3.5 % 0.7 % Colombia 8.9 % 6.2 % 3.1 % 4.0 % Costa Rica 13.8 % 9.7 % 2.2 % 2.1 % Guatemala 9.1 % 7.1 % 4.0 % 8.5 % Nicaragua 21.1 % 12.4 % 4.4 % 3.0 % Panamá 8.5 % 6.6 % 2.0 % 5.4 % Argentina 21.6 % 14.8 % 39.2 % 3.7 % Brazil 9.3 % 5.6 % 3.6 % 2.0 % Uruguay 9.4 % 6.8 % 7.4 % 2.0 % The key assumptions by CGU for impairment test as of December 31, 2018 were as follows: CGU Pre-tax WACC Post-tax Expected Annual Long-Term Inflation Expected Volume Mexico 7.4 % 5.3 % 4.0 % 1.4 % Colombia 7.8 % 5.2 % 3.1 % 4.0 % Costa Rica 13.9 % 9.2 % 4.0 % 1.6 % Guatemala 9.4 % 7.5 % 3.2 % 7.3 % Nicaragua 21.2 % 11.0 % 6.2 % 3.8 % Panama 9.2 % 7.0 % 2.4 % 3.0 % Argentina 19.6 % 11.3 % 21.9 % 2.7 % Brazil 10.7 % 6.6 % 3.8 % 1.7 % 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). Coca-Cola FEMSA consistently applied its methodology to determine CGU specific WACC’s to perform its annual impairment testing. During the year ended December 31, 2017 and because the economic and operational conditions worsened in Venezuela, Coca-Cola FEMSA has recognized an impairment of the distribution rights in such country for an amount of Ps 745, such charge has been recorded in other expenses line in the consolidated income statement.

FEMSA Comercio Proximity Division, FEMSA Comercio – Health Division and FEMSA Comercio – Fuel Division Impairment Test for Cash-Generating Units Containing Goodwill For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated and monitored on an individual country basis by operating segment. The Company has integrated its cash generating units as follow: (i) FEMSA Comercio – Proximity Division is integrated as Mexico, and (ii) FEMSA Comercio – Health Division are integrated as Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador for each of them and (iii) FEMSA Comercio – Fuel Division includes only Mexico. As of December 31, 2019 in FEMSA Comercio – Health Division there is a significant carrying amount of goodwill allocated in Chile and Colombia as a group of cash generating (South America) with a total carrying amount of Ps. 4,743. The recoverable amounts are based on value in use. The value in use of CGUs is determined based on the method of discounted cash flows. The key assumptions used in projecting cash flows are: sales, expected annual long-term inflation, and the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) used to discount the projected cash flows. The cash flow forecasts could differ from the results obtained over time; however, the Company prepares its estimates based on the current situation of each of the CGUs or group of CGUs. To determine the discount rate, the Company uses the WACC as determined for each of the cash generating units or group of the cash generating units in real terms and as described in following paragraphs. The estimated discount rates to perform the IAS 36 “Impairment of assets”, The discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU or group of CGUs, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. 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 cost of equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by 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. 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 Company believes that this forecasted period is justified due to the non-current • Cash flows projected based on actual operating results and five-year business plan were calculated using a perpetual growth rate equal to the expected annual population growth, in order to calculate the terminal recoverable amount. • A per CGU-specific The key assumptions by CGU for impairment test as of December 31, 2019 were as follows: CGU Pre-tax WACC Post-tax Expected Annual Long-Term Inflation Expected Volume South America (FEMSA Comercio – Health Division) 9.4 % 6.6 % 3.0 % 0.3 % The key assumptions by CGU for impairment test as of December 31, 2018 were as follows: CGU Pre-tax WACC Post-tax Expected Annual Long-Term Inflation Expected Volume South America (FEMSA Comercio – Health Division) 9.0 % 6.3 % 3.0 % 0.4 % 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).

Employee Benefits	Note 17. Employee Benefits The Company has various labor liabilities for employee benefits in connection with pension, seniority and post-retirement medical 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. 17.1 Assumptions The Company annually evaluates the reasonableness of the assumptions used in its labor liability for post-employment and other non-current Actuarial calculations for pension and retirement plans, seniority premiums and post-retirement medical benefits, as well as the associated cost for the period, were determined using the following long-term assumptions for Mexico: Mexico December 31, December 31, December 31, Financial: Discount rate used to calculate the defined benefit obligation 7.50 % 9.40 % 7.60 % Salary increase 4.50 % 4.60 % 4.50 % Future pension increases 3.50 % 3.60 % 3.50 % Healthcare cost increase rate 5.10 % 5.10 % 5.10 % Biometric: Mortality (1) EMSSA 2009 EMSSA 2009 EMSSA 2009 Disability (2) IMSS-97 IMSS-97 IMSS-97 Normal retirement age 60 years 60 years 60 years Employee turnover table (3) BMAR 2007 BMAR 2007 BMAR 2007 Measurement date December: (1) EMSSA. Mexican Experience of social security. (2) IMSS. Mexican Experience of Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. (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 Mexican Federal Government Treasury Bonds (known as CETES in Mexico) because there is no deep market in high quality corporate obligations in Mexican pesos. In Mexico upon retirement, the Company purchases an annuity for the employee, 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 Seniority Post-Retirement Total 2020 Ps. 767 Ps. 129 Ps. 20 Ps. 916 2021 332 111 21 464 2022 340 107 22 469 2023 414 106 22 542 2024 405 107 23 535 2025 to 2029 3,192 594 124 3,910 17.2 Balances of the liabilities for employee benefits December 31, 2019 December 31, Pension and Retirement Plans: Defined benefit obligation Ps. 7,193 Ps. 6,189 Pension plan funds at fair value (2,678 ) (2,501 ) Net defined benefit liability Ps. 4,515 Ps. 3,688 Seniority Premiums: Defined benefit obligation Ps. 1,237 Ps. 772 Seniority premium plan funds at fair value (127 ) (111 ) Net defined benefit liability Ps. 1,110 Ps. 661 Postretirement Medical Services: Defined benefit obligation Ps. 797 Ps. 418 Medical services funds at fair value (75 ) (68 ) Net defined benefit liability Ps. 722 Ps. 350 Total Employee Benefits Ps. 6,347 Ps. 4,699 17.3 Trust assets Trust assets consist of fixed and variable return financial instruments recorded at fair value (Level 1), which are invested as follows: December 31, December 31, Fixed return: Traded securities 9 % 19 % Bank instruments 23 % 6 % Federal government instruments of the respective countries 33 % 60 % Variable return: Publicly traded shares 35 % 15 % 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. 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 securities 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 supervise the trustee. 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 reviewing the correct operation of the plans 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 asset investment to 10% for related parties, 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 of the Company in related parties included in portfolio fund are as follows: December 31, December 31, Debt: El Puerto de Liverpool, S.A.B. de C.V.

There are no restrictions placed on the trustee’s ability to sell those securities. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the plan assets did not include securities of the Company in portfolio funds. 17.4 Amounts recognized in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income Income Statement AOCI (1) December 31, 2019 Current Past Service Gain or Net Interest on Remeasurements Pension and retirement plans Ps. 279 Ps.

The reasons for choosing these assumptions are as follows: • 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. • Healthcare cost increase rate: The rate that considers the trends of health care costs which implies an impact on the postretirement medical service obligations and the cost for the year. The following table presents the amount of defined benefit plan expense and OCI impact in absolute terms of a variation of 1% in the assumptions on the net defined benefit liability associated with the Company’s defined benefit plans. The sensitivity of this 1% on the significant actuarial assumptions is based on a projected long-term discount rates for Mexico and a yield curve projection of long-term Mexican government bonds—CETES: +1%: Income Statement OCI (1) Discount rate used to calculate the defined benefit obligation Current Gain or Loss Effect of Net Remeasurements Pension and retirement plans Ps. 180 Ps. 1 Ps. 237 Ps. 1,379 Seniority premiums 283 — 52 147 Postretirement medical services 6 — 29 335 Total Ps. 469 Ps. 1 Ps. 318 Ps. 1,861 Expected salary increase Pension and retirement plans Ps. 205 Ps. 2 Ps. 329 Ps. 1,493 Seniority premiums 320 — 62 178 Total Ps. 525 Ps. 2 Ps. 391 Ps. 1,671 Assumed rate of increase in healthcare costs Postretirement medical services Ps. 8 Ps. — Ps. 40 Ps. 431 +1%: Discount rate used to calculate the defined benefit obligation Current Gain or Loss Effect of Net Remeasurements Pension and retirement plans Ps. 199 Ps. 2 Ps. 356 Ps. 1,528 Seniority premiums 317 — 63 1 Postretirement medical services 8 — 41 429 Total Ps. 524 Ps. 2 Ps. 460 Ps. 1,958 Expected salary increase Pension and retirement plans Ps. 178 Ps. 1 Ps. 267 Ps. 1,408 Seniority premiums 281 — 53 147 Total Ps. 459 Ps. 1 Ps. 320 Ps. 1,555 Assumed rate of increase in healthcare costs Postretirement medical services Ps. 6 Ps. — Ps. 30 Ps. 333 (1) Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income as of the end of the period. 17.8 Employee benefits expense For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, employee benefits expenses recognized in the consolidated income statements as cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses are as follows: 2019 2018 2017 Wages and salaries Ps. 64,776 Ps. 58,745 Ps. 51,874 Social security costs 11,494 10,486 9,800 Employee profit sharing 1,205 1,294 1,209 Post-employment benefits 795 842 700 Share-based payments 200 405 351 Termination benefits 169 132 159 Ps. 78,639 Ps. 71,904 Ps. 64,093

Bonus Programs

Bonus Programs	Note 18. Bonus Programs 18.1 Quantitative and qualitative objectives The bonus program for executives is based on complying with certain goals established annually by management, which include quantitative and qualitative objectives, and special projects. 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 the EVA generated by the Company, calculated at approximately 70% and 30%, respectively. 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 amount is 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 bonus is paid to the eligible employee on an annual basis and after withholding applicable taxes. 18.2 Share-based payment bonus plan The Company has implemented a stock incentive plan for the benefit of its senior executives. As discussed above, this plan uses as its main evaluation metric the EVA. Under the EVA stock incentive plan, eligible employees are entitled to receive a special annual bonus (fixed amount), to be paid in shares of FEMSA or Coca-Cola FEMSA, as applicable or stock options (the plan considers providing stock options to employees; however, since inception only shares of FEMSA or Coca-Cola FEMSA have been granted). The plan is managed by FEMSA’s chief executive officer (“CEO”), with the support of the board of directors, together with the CEO of the respective sub-holding sub-holding six-year The Company contributes the individual employee’s special bonus (after taxes) in cash to the Administrative Trust (which is controlled and consolidated by FEMSA), who then uses the funds to purchase FEMSA or Coca-Cola FEMSA shares (as instructed by the Administrative Trust’s Technical Committee), which are then allocated to such employee. The Administrative Trust tracks the individual employees’ account balance. FEMSA created the Administrative Trust with the objective of conducting the purchase of FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA shares by each of its subsidiaries with eligible executives participating in the stock incentive plan. The Administrative Trust’s objectives are to acquire FEMSA shares or shares of Coca-Cola FEMSA and to manage the shares granted to the individual employees based on instructions set forth by the Technical Committee. Once the shares are acquired following the Technical Committee’s instructions, the Administrative Trust assigns to each participant their respective rights. As the trust is controlled and therefore consolidated by FEMSA, shares purchased in the market and held within the Administrative Trust are presented as treasury stock (as it relates to FEMSA’s shares) or as a reduction of the noncontrolling interest (as it relates to Coca-Cola FEMSA’s shares) in the consolidated statement of changes in equity, on the line issuance (purchase) of shares associated with share-based payment plans. Should an employee leave prior to their shares vesting, they would lose the rights to such shares, which would then remain within the Administrative Trust and be able to be reallocated to other eligible employees as determined by the Company. 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. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the compensation expense recorded in the consolidated income statement amounted to Ps. 610, Ps. 401 and Ps. 351, respectively. All shares held in the Administrative Trust are considered outstanding for diluted earnings per share purposes and dividends on shares held by the trust are charged to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the number of shares held by the trust associated with the Company’s share-based payment plans are as follows: Number of Shares FEMSA UBD KOF UBL 2019 2018 2019 2018 Beginning balance 2,278,460 2,945,209 697,226 935,899 Shares acquired by the administrative trust to employees 1,441,838 913,846 456,077 262,909 Shares released from administrative trust to employees upon vesting (1,470,633 ) (1,580,595 ) (400,456 ) (501,582 ) Ending balance 2,249,665 2,278,460 752,847 697,226

Financial Instruments	Note 21. Financial Instruments Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are based on level 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, 2019 and 2018: December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Financial instrument (current asset) 91 917 — 735 Financial instrument (non-current 2,880 21,570 2,680 10,752 Financial instrument (current liability) 47 801 236 147 Financial instrument (non-current — 1,672 — 1,262 21.1 Total debt The fair value of bank loans is calculated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows whereby the discount rate is estimated using rates currently offered for debt of similar amounts and maturities, which is considered to be level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s publicly traded debt is based on quoted market prices as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, which is considered to be level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. 2019 2018 Carrying value Ps. 117,951 Ps. 128,664 Fair value 124,038 128,741 21.2 Interest rate swaps The Company uses interest rate swaps to offset the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings, pursuant to which it pays amounts based on a fixed rate and receives amounts based on a floating rate. These instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using formal technical models. The valuation method involves discounting to present value the expected cash flows of interest, calculated from the rate curve of the cash flow currency, and expresses the net result in the reporting currency. Changes in fair value are recorded in cumulative other comprehensive income, net of taxes until such time as the hedged amount is recorded in the consolidated income statements. At December 31, 2019, the Company has the following outstanding interest rate swap agreements: Maturity Date Notional Fair Value Liability Fair Value Asset 2020 Ps. 4,365 Ps. (142 ) Ps. — 2021 405 (24 ) — 2022 414 (20 ) — 2023 12,770 (79 ) 245 2024 3 — — At December 31, 2018, the Company has the following outstanding interest rate swap agreements: Maturity Date Notional Fair Value Liability Fair Value Asset 2019 Ps. 4,032 Ps.

Foreign exchange forward contracts measured at fair value are designated hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of forecast inflows in Euros and forecast purchases of raw materials in U.S. dollars. These forecast transactions are highly probable. 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. The price agreed in the instrument is compared to the current price of the market forward currency and is discounted to present value of the rate curve of the relevant currency. Changes in the fair value of these forwards are recorded as part of cumulative other comprehensive income, net of taxes. Net gain/loss on expired contracts is recognized as part of cost of goods sold when the raw material is included in sale transaction, and as a part of foreign exchange when the inflow in Euros are received. At December 31, 2019, the Company had the following outstanding forward agreements to purchase foreign currency: Maturity Date Notional Fair Value Liability Fair Value Asset 2020 Ps. 8,447 Ps.

(65 ) Ps. 133 21.4 Options to purchase foreign currency The Company has executed call option and collar strategies to reduce its exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. A call option is an instrument that limits the loss in case of foreign currency depreciation. A collar is a strategy that combines call and put options, limiting the exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations in a similar way as a forward agreement. 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 options, corresponding to the intrinsic value, are initially recorded as part of “cumulative other comprehensive income”. Changes in the fair value, corresponding to the extrinsic value, are recorded in the consolidated income statements under the caption “market value gain/ (loss) on financial instruments,” as part of the consolidated net income. Net gain/(loss) on expired contracts including the net premium paid, is recognized as part of cost of goods sold when the hedged item is recorded in the consolidated income statements. At December 31, 2019, the Company paid a net premium of Ps. 43 million for the following outstanding collar options to purchase foreign currency: Maturity Date Notional Fair Value Liability Fair Value Asset 2020 Ps. 107 Ps. — Ps. 2 At December 31, 2018, the Company paid a net premium of Ps. 43 million for the following outstanding collar options to purchase foreign currency: Maturity Date Notional Fair Value Liability Fair Value Asset 2019 Ps. 1,734 Ps. (33 ) Ps. 57 21.5 Cross-currency swaps The Company has contracted for a number of cross-currency swaps to reduce its exposure to risks of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations associated with its borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies. Cross-Currency swaps contracts are designated as hedging instruments through which the Company changes the debt profile to its functional currency to reduce exchange exposure. These instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their estimated fair value which is estimated using formal technical models. The valuation method involves discounting to present value the expected cash flows of interest, calculated from the rate curve of the cash foreign currency, and expresses the net result in the reporting currency. These contracts are designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. The fair values changes related to those cross-currency swaps are recorded under the caption “market value gain (loss) on financial instruments,” net of changes related to the long-term liability, within the consolidated income statements. The Company has cross-currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their estimated fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in cumulative other comprehensive income, net of taxes until such time as the hedge amount is recorded in the consolidated income statement. At December 31, 2019, the Company had the following outstanding cross – currency swap agreements: Maturity Date Notional Fair Value 2019 Fair Value Asset 2020 Ps. 17,252 Ps.

The fair value is estimated based on the market valuations to terminate the contracts at the end of the period. These instruments are designated as Cash Flow Hedges and the changes in the fair value are recorded as part of “cumulative other comprehensive income.” The fair value of expired commodity price contract was recorded in cost of goods sold where the hedged item was recorded also in cost of goods sold.

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 attributable to change in the types of change; and • Changes in the periodicity of covered. 21.12.1 Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices include currency risk and commodity price risk. The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency 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. • Cross-Currency Swaps in order to reduce its exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. • 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 management considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period based on a stress test of the exchange rates according to an annualized volatility estimated with historic prices obtained for the underlying asset over a period of time, in the cases of derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency risk, which the Company is exposed to as it relates to in its existing hedging strategy: Foreign Currency Risk Change in Exchange Rate Effect on Equity 2019 FEMSA (1) +9% MXN/EUR Ps. 57 -9% MXN/EUR (57 ) +13% BRL/USD 202 -13% BRL/USD (202 ) Coca-Cola FEMSA +9% MXN/USD 739 -9% MXN/USD (739 ) +13% BRL/USD 155 -13% BRL/USD (155 ) +5% UYU/USD 23 -5% UYU/USD (23 ) +10% COP/USD 54 -10% COP/USD (54 ) +25% ARS/USD 88 -25% ARS/USD (88 ) 2018 FEMSA (1) +12 MXN/EUR Ps. 116 -12% MXN/EUR (116 ) Coca-Cola FEMSA +13% MXN/USD 668 -13% MXN/USD (668 ) +16% BRL/USD 413 -16% BRL/USD (413 ) +8% UYU/USD 46 -8% UYU/USD (46 ) +12% COP/USD 2 -12% COP/USD (2 ) +27% ARS/USD 522 -27% ARS/USD (522 ) 2017 FEMSA (1) +13% MXN/EUR Ps. 141 -13% MXN/EUR (141 ) +8% CLP/USD 2 -8% CLP/USD (2 ) Coca-Cola FEMSA +12% MXN/USD 626 -12% MXN/USD (626 ) +14% BRL/USD 234 -14% BRL/USD (234 ) +9% COP/USD 73 -9% COP/USD (73 ) +10% ARS/USD 29 -10% ARS/USD (29 ) (1) Does not include Coca-Cola FEMSA.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it and its subsidiaries borrow funds at both fixed and variable interest rates. 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. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with 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 management considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period, which the Company is exposed to as it relates to its fixed and floating rate borrowings, which it considers in its existing hedging strategy: Interest Rate Swap (1) Change in Effect on 2019 FEMSA (2) (100 Bps. ) Ps.

(251 ) 21.12.3 Liquidity risk Each of the Company’s sub-holding sub-holding sub-holding sub-holdings The Company’s principal source of liquidity has generally been cash generated from its operations. The Company has traditionally been able to rely on cash generated from operations because a significant majority of the sales of Coca-Cola FEMSA and FEMSA Comercio – Proximity, FEMSA Comercio – Health and FEMSA Comercio – Fuel Divisions are on a cash or short-term credit basis, and FEMSA Comercio’s OXXO stores are able to finance a significant portion of their initial and ongoing inventories with supplier credit. The Company’s principal use of cash has generally been for capital expenditure programs, acquisitions, debt repayment and dividend payments. 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 management of the Company’s short-, medium- and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and with a low concentration of maturities per year. The Company has access to credit from national and international banking institutions in order to meet treasury needs; besides, the Company has the highest rating for Mexican companies (AAA) given by independent rating agencies, allowing the Company to evaluate 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 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 the Company management may finance its 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 joint ventures or other transactions. We would expect to finance any significant future transactions with a combination of cash from operations, long-term indebtedness and capital stock. The Company’s sub-holding sub-holding sub-holding The Company presents the maturity dates associated with its long-term financial liabilities as of December 31, 2019, see Note 19. The Company generally makes payments associated with its long-term financial liabilities with cash generated from its operations.

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 concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee. 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, 2019 and 2018 is the carrying amounts, see Note 7. 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 in some cases a Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) that establishes margin requirements, which could change upon changes to the credit ratings given to the Company by independent rating agencies. As of December 31, 2019, 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. 21.13 Cash flows hedges As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial instruments used to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange rates and interest rates as follows: Maturity 1-6 months 6-12 months More than 12 Foreign exchange currency risk Foreign exchange currency forward contracts Net exposure 4,373 2,086 — Average exchange rate MXN/USD 20.00 20.20 — Net exposure 746 378 267 Average exchange rate BRL/USD 4.05 4.19 4.44 Net exposure 220 85 — Average exchange rate COP/USD 3,491 3,460 — Net exposure 137 — — Average exchange rate ARS/USD 79.23 — — Net exposure 335 87 — Average exchange rate URY/USD 37.55 40.03 — Foreign exchange currency option contracts Net exposure 107 — — Average exchange rate COP/USD 3,252 — — Foreign exchange currency swap contracts Net exposure 9,423 — 18,428 Average exchange rate MXN/USD 19.54 — 15.93 Net exposure — 4,365 9,140 Average exchange rate BRL/USD — 3.41 4.00 Net exposure — 84 1,195 Average exchange rate BRL/MXN — 0.21 0.21 Net exposure — — 2,403 Average exchange rate COP/USD — — 3,075 Net exposure — 3,007 1,371 Average exchange rate CLP/USD — 696.02 677.00 Interest rate risk Interest rate swaps Net exposure — 4,365 — Interest rate average BRL — 8.34 % — Net exposure — — 11,403 Interest rate average MXN — — 7.17 % Net exposure — — 2,197 Average exchange rate CLP — — 6.26 % Commodities risk Aluminum 276 118 — Average price (USD/Ton) 1,796 1,812 — Sugar 1,192 361 98 Average price (USD cent/Lb) 13.09 12.73 13.45 PX+MEG 160 160 — Average price (USD /Ton) 848 848 — As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s financial instruments used to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange rates and interest rates as follows: Maturity 1-6 months 6-12 months More than 12 Foreign exchange currency risk Foreign exchange currency forward contracts Net exposure Ps. 1,022 Ps. — Ps. — Average exchange rate MXN/EUR 23.78 — — Net exposure 3,484 683 — Average exchange rate MXN/USD 20.19 20.75 — Net exposure 805 337 — Average exchange rate BRL/USD 3.75 3.83 — Net exposure 429 63 — Average exchange rate COP/USD 2,851 2,976 — Net exposure 339 — — Average exchange rate ARS/USD 43.31 — — Net exposure 196 159 — Average exchange rate URY/USD 32.9 33.97 — Foreign exchange currency swap contracts Net exposure — — 31,172 Average exchange rate MXN/USD — — 16.08 Net exposure — 4,652 18,042 Average exchange rate BRL/USD — 3.36 3.59 Net exposure — 86 79 Average exchange rate BRL/MXN — 0.18 0.19 Net exposure — — 1,928 Average exchange rate COP/USD — — 3,043.59 Net exposure — — 3,725 Average exchange rate CLP/USD — — 693.10 Interest rate risk Interest rate swaps Net exposure — 4,013 8,594 Interest rate average BRL — 6.29 % 8.15 % Net exposure — — 11,403 Interest rate average MXN — — 7.17 % Net exposure 19 — 2,828 Average exchange rate CLP 6.45 % — 5.56 % Commodities risk Aluminum 189 75,250 — Average price (USD/Ton) 1,975 1,986 — Sugar 725 498 — Average price (USD cent/Lb) 12.86 13.11 — PX+MEG 739 565 — Average price (USD /Ton) 1,077 1,040 — As of December 31, 2019, the Company does not have any cash flows hedge exposures.

Income Taxes	Note 25. Taxes 25.1 Recoverable taxes Recoverable taxes are mainly integrated by higher provisional payments of income tax during 2019 in comparison to prior year, which will be compensated in future years. The operations in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua and Colombia 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. 25.1.1 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 is 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 the asset become virtually certain. During 2019, it was concluded the administrative formalities for one of the motions and the recoverable taxes for this motion were recorded in the income statement. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 the amount of recoverable taxes in Brazil including PIS and COFINS is Ps. 4,223 and Ps. 2,361. 25.2 Tax Reform On January 1, 2020, a new tax regime in Mexico will be effective regarding foreign transparent vehicles and changes were made to the preferential tax regime, as a result of such changes, the dividends from Heineken Group will be subject to a 30% income tax in Mexico when received.

Drinkable foods based on dairy products, grains or cereals, nectars, fruit juices and vegetables with natural fruit concentrates are exempt from this tax. In addition to the above, on October 30, 2019, Mexico approved a new Tax Reform, which will be effective on January 1, 2020. The most relevant changes are: (i) Taxpayers will be limited to a net interest deduction equal to 30% of the entity’s Adjusted Taxable Income (ATI). ATI will be determined similarly to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). A $20,000,000 pesos (approximately USD 1M) exception applies for deductible interest at a Mexican group level.

The tax will be charged only on the first distribution of dividends between Colombian entities and may be credited against the dividend tax due once the ultimate Colombian company makes a distribution to its shareholders nonresident shareholders (individuals or entities) or to Colombian individual residents. In October 2019, the Colombian Constitutional Court declared unconstitutional the tax reform of 2018 (Law 1943). On December 27, 2019, the Senate enacted a new tax reform through the Economic Growth Law, which became effective as of January 1, 2020. In general, the reform maintains the provisions introduced under Law 1943 with certain changes as follow: (i) reduction of the minimum assumed income tax rate (renta presuntiva sobre el patrimonio) from 1.5% to 0.5% for 2020 and maintained the 0% rate for year 2021 and onwards; (ii). reduction of dividends tax rate applicable to Colombian resident individuals from 15% to 10%; (iii) increasing of dividends tax rate applicable to foreign nonresidents (individuals and companies) from 7.5% to 10%; (iv) it postponed to 2022 the possibility of taxpayers to claim 100% of municipality sales tax as a credit against their income tax liability; and (v) gave more flexibility to recover VAT of imported goods from free trade zones. On January 1, 2019 a tax reform became effective in Costa Rica. This reform will allow that tax on sales not only be applied to the first sale, but also to be applied and transferred for each sale; therefore, the tax credits on tax on sales will be recorded not only on goods related to production and on administrative services, but on a greater number of goods and services. Value-added tax on services provided within Costa Rica will be charged at tax rate of 13.0% if provided by local suppliers or withheld at the same rate if provided by foreigner suppliers. Although a territorial principle is still applicable in Costa Rica for operations abroad, a tax rate of 15.0% has been imposed on capital gains from the sale of assets located in Costa Rica. New income tax withholding rates were imposed on salaries and compensations of employees, at the rates of 25.0% and 20.0% (which will be applicable depending on the employee’s salary), respectively.

However, the Supreme Court decided in early 2017 that the value-added tax will not be used as the basis for calculating the federal sales tax, which resulted in a reduction of the federal sales tax. Notwithstanding the above, the tax authorities appealed the Supreme Court’s decision and are still waiting for a final resolution. For 2019, the federal production and sales taxes together resulted in an average of 16.3% tax over net sales. In addition, the excise tax on concentrate in Brazil was reduced from 20.0% to 4.0% from September 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. Temporarily the excise tax rate on concentrate increased from 4.0% to 12.0% from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, then it will be reduced to 8.0% from July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, and increased to 10% from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. On January 1st, 2020 the excise tax rate will be reduced back to 4.0%. On January 1, 2018, a tax reform became effective in Argentina. This reform reduced the income tax rate from 35.0% to 30.0% for 2018 and 2019, and then to 25.0% for the following years. In addition, such reform imposed a new tax on dividends paid to non-resident However, on December 23, 2019, Argentina enacted a tax reform that became effective since January 2020, keeping the corporate income tax rate of 30% and the dividend withholding tax of 7% for two more years. Besides, beginning on 1 January 2020, taxpayers may deduct 100% of the negative or positive inflation adjustment the year in which the adjustment is calculated, instead of a six years period allocation. In addition, this reform imposed a new tax applicable for 2020-2024 period, to purchases of foreign currency by Argentine residents to pay goods, services or obligations from abroad. The tax rate will be 30% and will apply to the amount of the taxable purchases. The tax will be withheld at the time of payment for the purchases. For sales taxes in the province of Buenos Aires, the tax rate decreased from 1.75% to 1.5% in 2018; however, in the City of Buenos Aires, the tax rate increased from 1.0% to 2.0% in 2018, and will be reduced to 1.5% in 2019, 1.0% in 2020, 0.5% in 2021 and null in 2022. On January 1, 2017, a general tax reform became effective in Colombia. This reform reduced the income tax rate from 35.0% to 34% for 2017 and then to 33% for the following years. In addition, this reform includes an extra income tax rate of 6.0% for 2017 and 4.0% for 2018, for entities located outside free trade zone.

During 2017, the Mexican government issued the Repatriation of Capital Decree which was valid from January 19 until October 19, 2017. Through this decree, a fiscal benefit was attributed to residents in Mexico by applying an income tax of 8% (instead of the statutory rate of 30% normally applicable) to the total amount of income returned to the country resulting from foreign investments held until December 2016. Additionally, the Repatriation of Capital Decree sustains that the benefit will solely apply to income and investments returned to the country throughout the period of the decree. The resources repatriated must be invested during the fiscal year of 2017 and remain in national territory for a period of at least two years from the return date. 25.3 Income Tax The major components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 are: 2019 2018 2017 Current tax expense Ps. 11,652 Ps. 10,480 Ps. 18,592 Deferred tax expense (income): Origination and reversal of temporary differences 127 491 (7,546 ) (Recognition) of tax losses, net (1,201 ) (927 ) (823 ) Change in the statutory rate (102 ) 125 (10 ) Total deferred tax income expense (benefit) (1,176 ) (311 ) (8,379 ) Total income taxes Ps. 10,476 Ps. 10,169 Ps. 10,213 Recognized in Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) Income tax related to items charged or 2019 2018 2017 Unrealized loss on cash flow hedges Ps.

Coca-Cola FEMSA is defending its position in these matters and final decision is pending in court. 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 this subsidiaries operates. The Company does not expect any material liability to arise from these contingencies. 26.7 Collateralized contingencies As is customary in Brazil, Coca-Cola FEMSA has been required by the tax authorities there to collateralize tax contingencies currently in litigation amounting to Ps. 10,471, Ps. 7,739 and Ps. 9,433 as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, by pledging fixed assets and entering into available lines of credit covering the contingencies, see Note 14. Also, as disclosed in Note 9.2, there is some restricted cash in Brazil related to current deposits in order to fulfill the collateral requirements for accounts payable. 26.8 Commitments The Company has firm commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of Ps. 556 as of December 31, 2019.

Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards not yet in Effect	Note 29. 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. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective. Modifications to the Conceptual Framework The Conceptual Framework for Financial Information (“Conceptual Framework”) have been issued on March 2018 replacing the previous version of the Conceptual Framework issued on 2010. The Conceptual Framework describes the purpose and concepts of general purpose for the financial information. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to: a) Help to the IASB to develop standards that are based on consistent concepts; b) Assist to preparers to develop congruent accounting policies when no Standard is applicable to a specific transaction or event, or when a Standard allows an accounting policy option; and c) Help to all parties to understand and interpret the Standards. The Conceptual Framework is not a Standard. No content of the Conceptual Framework prevails over any Standard or requirement of a Standard. The Conceptual Framework is effective immediately for the IASB and the IFRIC, and is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and its early application is permitted, for companies that use the Conceptual Framework to develop their policies Accountants when IFRS are not applicable for a particular transaction. As long as the Company’s accounting policy is in line with these modifications, the Company does not expect any effect on its consolidated financial statements. Modifications to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business (“IFRS 3”) The IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 3 in October 2018 that revises the definition of a business. The modified definition emphasizes that the purpose of a business is to provide goods and services to the customers, while the previous definition was focus on returns in dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits for investors and others. The distinction between a business and a group of assets is important because an acquirer recognizes a goodwill when a business is acquired. The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective beginning on January 1, 2020 and their early application is allowed. As long as the Company’s accounting policy is aligned with these modifications, the Company does not expect any effect on its consolidated financial statements. Modifications to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material or relative importance (“IAS 1” and “IAS 8”) The definition of material or relative importance helps to the Company to determine whether information about an item, transaction or other event should be provided to the users of the financial statements. However, the Companies had difficulty using the above definition of material or with relative importance in making materiality judgments or with relative importance in the preparation of the financial statements. Accordingly, the IASB published the Definition of Material or Relative Importance (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8) in October 2018. The amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 will be effective on January 1, 2020 and its early application is allowed. The Company does not expect to have significant effects on its consolidated financial statements. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures The amendments to IFRS 9 The amendments include a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. Application of the reliefs is mandatory. The first three reliefs provide for: • The assessment of whether a forecast transaction (or component thereof) is highly probable • Assessing when to reclassify the amount in the cash flow hedge reserve to profit and loss • The assessment of the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument For each of these reliefs, it is assumed that the benchmark on which the hedged cash flows are based (whether or not contractually specified) and/or, for relief three, the benchmark on which the cash flows of the hedging instrument are based, are not altered as a result of IBOR reform. A fourth relief provides that, for a benchmark component of interest rate risk that is affected by IBOR reform, the requirement that the risk component is separately identifiable need be met only at the inception of the hedging relationship. Where hedging instruments and hedged items may be added to or removed from an open portfolio in a continuous hedging strategy, the separately identifiable requirement need only be met when hedged items are initially designated within the hedging relationship. To the extent that a hedging instrument is altered so that its cash flows are based on an RFR, but the hedged item is still based on IBOR (or vice versa), there is no relief from measuring and recording any ineffectiveness that arises due to differences in their changes in fair value. The reliefs continue indefinitely in the absence of any of the events described in the amendments. When an entity designates a group of items as the hedged item, the requirements for when the reliefs cease are applied separately to each individual item within the designated group of items. The amendments also introduce specific disclosure requirements for hedging relationships to which the reliefs are applied. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and must be applied retrospectively. However, any hedge relationships that have previously been de-designated

Basis of consolidation	3.1 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company. 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 arrangements with the other vote holders of the investee; • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and • The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights. The Company re-assesses 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 non-controlling 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, income, 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 • 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 Acquisitions of non-controlling non-controlling paid-in
Business combinations	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. 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 non-controlling Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling non-controlling Costs, other than those associated with the issuance 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 remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent considerations 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 in which the accounting is incomplete and discloses that its allocation is preliminary in nature. Those provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively 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 remeasures 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, see Note 3.14. The Company sometimes obtains control of an acquiree without transferring consideration. The acquisition method of accounting for a business combination, applies to those combinations as follows: (a) The acquiree repurchases a sufficient number of its own shares for the Company to obtain control. (b) Minority veto rights lapse that previously kept the Company from controlling an acquiree in which it held the majority voting rights. (c) The Company and the acquiree agree to combine their businesses by contract alone 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.
Foreign currencies, consolidation of foreign subsidiaries and accounting equity accounted investees	3.3 Foreign currencies, consolidation of foreign subsidiaries and accounting of equity accounted investees In preparing the financial statements of each individual subsidiary and accounting for equity accounted investees, 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 retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in consolidated net income in the period in which they arise except for: • The variations in the net investment in foreign subsidiaries generated by exchange rate fluctuation which are included in other comprehensive income, which is recorded in equity as part of cumulative translation adjustment within the accumulated other comprehensive income; • Intercompany financing balances with foreign subsidiaries are considered as long-term investments when there is no plan to pay such financing in the foreseeable future. Monetary position and exchange rate fluctuation regarding this financing is recorded in the exchange differences on translation of foreign operations within the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) item, which is recorded in equity; and • 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 non-operating For incorporation into the Company’s consolidated financial statements, each foreign subsidiary, associates or joint venture’s individual financial statements are translated into Mexican pesos, as follows: • For entities operating in hyperinflationary economic environments, the inflation effects of the origin country are recognized pursuant IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies year-end • For entities operating in non-hyperinflationary year-end 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 accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed non-controlling 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 arising are recognized in equity as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. 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.

Such deteriorating conditions had significantly impacted Coca-Cola FEMSA’s ability to manage its capital structure, its capacity to purchase raw materials and limitations of portfolio dynamics. In addition, certain government controls over pricing, restriction over labor practices, acquisition of U.S. dollars and imports, has affected the normal course of business. Therefore, and due to the fact that its Venezuelan subsidiary will continue doing operations in Venezuela, as of December 31, 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA changed the method of accounting for its investment in Venezuela from consolidation to fair value measured using a Level 3 concept. As a result of the deconsolidation, Coca-Cola FEMSA also recorded loss within other expenses for an amount of Ps. 28,176 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Such effect includes the reclassification of Ps. 26,123 previously recorded as exchange differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and equity accounted investees in equity, impairment equal to Ps. 745 and Ps. 1,098 mainly from distribution rights and property, plant and equipment, respectively, and Ps. 210 for the remeasurement at fair-value of Venezuelan investment. Prior to deconsolidation, during 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s Venezuelan operations contributed Ps. 4,005 to net sales, and losses of Ps. 2,223 to net income. Its total assets were Ps. 4,138 and the total liabilities were Ps. 2,889. Beginning on January 1, 2018, Coca-Cola FEMSA recognizes its investment in Venezuela under the fair value through OCI method following the IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Exchange rate Until December 31, 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s recognition of its Venezuelan operations involved a two-step Step-one.- non-bolivar Step-two.- In December 2017, Coca-Cola FEMSA translated the Venezuela entity figures at an exchange rate of 22,793 bolivars per U.S. dollar, as such exchange rate better represents the economic conditions in Venezuela. Coca-Cola FEMSA considers that this exchange rate provides more useful and relevant information with respect to Venezuela’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. On January 30, 2018, a new auction of the DICOM celebrated by Venezuela’s government resulted on an estimated exchange rate of 25,000 bolivar per U.S. dollar.
Recognition of the effects of inflation in countries with hyperinflationary economic environments	3.4 Recognition of the effects of inflation in countries with hyperinflationary economic environments The Company recognizes the effects of inflation on the financial information of its subsidiaries that operates in hyperinflationary economic environments (when cumulative inflation of the three preceding years is approaching, or exceeds, 100% or more in addition to other qualitative factors), which consists of: • Using inflation factors to restate non-monetary • Applying the appropriate inflation factors to restate capital stock, additional paid-in • Including 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 of each country (“CPI”). As disclosed in Note 3.3, Coca-Cola FEMSA deconsolidated its Venezuelan operations. Consequently, the Venezuelan investment is no longer consolidated by Coca-Cola FEMSA, however, Coca-Cola FEMSA’s Venezuelan subsidiary will continue operating. As of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the operations of the Company are classified as follows: Country Cumulative Type of Economy Cumulative Type of Economy Cumulative Type of Economy Mexico 13.2 % Non-hyperinflationary 15.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 12.7 % Non-hyperinflationary Guatemala 11.8 % Non-hyperinflationary 12.2 % Non-hyperinflationary 13.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Costa Rica 5.8 % Non-hyperinflationary 5.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Panama 0.5 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.1 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Colombia 11.0 % Non-hyperinflationary 13.4 % Non-hyperinflationary 17.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Nicaragua 15.6 % Non-hyperinflationary 13.1 % Non-hyperinflationary 12.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Argentina (a) 179.4 % Hyperinflationary 158.4 % Hyperinflationary 101.5 % Hyperinflationary Venezuela — — — — 30,690.0 % Hyperinflationary Brazil 11.1 % Non-hyperinflationary 25.0 % Non-hyperinflationary 21.1 % Non-hyperinflationary Philippines — — 11.9 % Non-hyperinflationary 7.5 % Non-hyperinflationary Euro Zone 3.6 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 2.7 % Non-hyperinflationary Chile 8.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.7 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.7 % Non-hyperinflationary Peru 5.2 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 9.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Ecuador 0.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 30.3 % Non-hyperinflationary 30.3 % Non-hyperinflationary Uruguay 22.0 % Non-hyperinflationary 25.3 % Non-hyperinflationary — – a) Argentina Beginning on July 1, 2018, Argentina was classified as hyperinflationary economy based on several consumer price indexes of the country. Therefore, the financial statements of the subsidiary were remeasured in its functional currency (Argentine peso) but they were not restated in its presentation currency (Mexican pesos) as it is not stated as a hyperinflationary economy. In addition, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods were not restated for comparative purposes. 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 • Recognize the monetary position gain or loss in consolidated net income. The Federacion Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (“FACPCE”) 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 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).
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	3.5 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash is comprised of deposits in bank accounts which generate an interest on the available balance. Cash equivalents are mainly represented by short-term bank deposits and fixed-income investments (overnight), both with maturities of three months or less and their carrying values approximate fair value. The Company also maintains restricted cash which is insured as collateral to meet certain contractual obligations. Restricted cash is presented within other current financial assets given that, by their nature, the restrictions are short-term.
Investments	3.6 Investments The investments include debt securities and bank deposits with a maturity of more than three months as of the acquisition date. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and evaluates that classification at the date of each statement of financial position, see Notes 6 and 14.
Financial assets	3.7 Financial assets Financial assets are classified within the following business models depending on management’s objective: (i) “held to maturity to recover cash flows”, (ii) “held to maturity and to sell financial assets” and (iii) “others or held for trading”, including derivatives assigned in hedging instruments with efficient hedge, as appropriate. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of holding the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The Company performs a portfolio – level assessment of the business model in which a financial asset is managed to accomplish with Company’s risk management purposes. 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 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 three 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 is not 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 part of the contractual provisions of the instrument. The fair value of an asset is measured using assumptions that would be used by market participants when valuing the asset, assuming that the transaction is orderly and takes place in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset. During 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. 3.7.1 Financial assets at amortized cost A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the following two conditions and is not designated as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”): • Its 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. The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount of the initial recognition less the principal payments, plus or less the accumulated amortization using the effective interest rate method of any difference between the initial amount and the amount as of the maturity and, for financial assets, adjusted for loss of impairment. The financial product, exchange fluctuation and impairment are recognized in results. Any profit or loss is also recognized in the same way in results. 3.7.2 Effective interest rate method (“ERR”) The effective interest rate method consists in calculating the amortized cost of loans and accounts receivables and other financial assets (measured at amortized cost) and allocating interest income/expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form 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 initial recognition. 3.7.3 Financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) A financial asset is measured in FVOCI if it meets the following two conditions and is not designated as FVTPL: • Its managed within a business model whose objective is achieved through the collection of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and • The contractual terms are only payments of the principal and interest on the amount of the outstanding principal. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The financial product calculated using the internal rate of return (“IRR”), the exchange 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 case of disposals, the accumulated gains and losses in OCI are reclassified to profit and loss. In the initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not 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 has to be made for each investment. Equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as profit in results unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses, related to changes in fair value, are recognized in OCI and are considered items that will not be reclassified to consolidated net income in subsequent periods. 3.7.4 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets designated as fair value through profit and loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated at initial recognition as fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are allocated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the balance sheet with changes in fair value presented as financial costs (net negative changes in fair value) or financial products (net positive changes in fair value) in profit or loss, including any dividend income. 3.7.5 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 only principal and interest payments. The Company considers the contractual terms of the financial instrument 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. In making this evaluation, the Company considers the following: • Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows; • 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 only principal and interest payments 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 of prepaid represents substantially the contractual amount and accrued interest (but not paid); which may include additional compensation for the early termination of the contract. 3.7.6 Impairment of financial assets The Company recognizes impairment due to expected credit loss (“ECL”) in: • Financial assets measured at amortized cost; • Debt investments measured at FVOCI; and • Other contractual assets. Impairment losses on accounts receivable, contractual assets and leasing receivables are measured at the amount that equals the lifetime expected loss of credit, whether or not it has a significant component. The Company applies the criteria to all accounts receivable, contractual assets and leasing credits, together or separately. The Company measures impairment losses at an amount that equals to lifetime ECL, except for the following: • Debt instruments classified as low credit risk; and • Other debt instruments in which the credit risk (irrecoverability risk over the financial instrument expected life) 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 sustainable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. It includes qualitative and quantitative analysis based on Company’s experience and credit assessment. 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 at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. The Company annually evaluates if there was evidence of an impairment. Some observable data that financial assets were impaired includes: • Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower; • A breach of contract, such as default or past due event; • Granting concessions due to the borrower’s financial difficulties in which Company would not consider in other circumstances. • It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; • The disappearance of an active market for a financial instrument because of financial difficulties; or • Information indicating that there was a measurable decrease in the expected cash flows of a group of financial assets. For a capital instrument, evidence of impairment includes a significant decrease in its fair value even lower than its carrying value. The impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost is reduced from the book value and for financial assets measured at FVOCI, the impairment loss is recognized as profit or loss within OCI. 3.7.7 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 cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full 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 nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 3.7.8 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 when 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.
Other financial assets	3.8 Other financial assets Other financial assets include long term accounts receivable, derivative financial instruments and recoverable contingencies acquired from business combinations. Long term accounts receivable with a stated term are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Derivative financial instruments	3.9 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 Mexican peso 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 FVTPL or FVOCI, 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. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded each period in current earnings otherwise as a component of cumulative other comprehensive income based on the item being hedged and the effectiveness of the hedge. 3.9.1 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. 3.9.2 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 other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading 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 income statements. 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 consolidated net income, in the same line of the consolidated income statement as the recognized hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial non-financial non-financial non-financial 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 cumulative other comprehensive income 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. 3.9.2.1 Fair value hedges For hedged items carried at fair value, the change in the fair value of a hedging derivative is recognized in the consolidated income statement as foreign exchange gain or loss. 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 consolidated income statement 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 is amortized through profit or loss over the remaining term of the hedge using the EIR 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. 3.9.2.2 Hedge of net investment in a foreign business The Company designates debt securities as a hedge of certain 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.
Fair value measurement	3.10 Fair value measurement The Company measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, and certain non-financial 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. A fair value measurement of a non-financial 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 — 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. 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 The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurements, such as those described in Note 21 and unquoted liabilities such as debt described in Note 19. 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.
Inventories and cost of goods sold	3.11 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 which is incurred when purchasing or producing a product and are based on the weighted average cost formula. The operating segments of the Company use inventory costing methodologies to value their inventories, such as the weighted average cost method in Coca-Cola FEMSA, retail method (a method to estimate the average cost) in FEMSA Comercio – Proximity, FEMSA Comercio – Health Division; and acquisition method in FEMSA Comercio – Fuel Division, except for the distribution centers which are valued with average cost method. 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; expenses related to the purchase of goods and services used in the sale process of the Company’s products and expenses related to the purchase of gasoline, diesel and all engine lubricants used in the sale process of the Company.
Loans and receivables	3.12 Loans and receivables The instruments under this category includes loans, trade receivables, and other accounts receivables measured at amortized cost which represents future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the transaction date. In addition, an expected credit loss model is applied to this category, which is reported net of this impairment allowance in the financial statements. The allowance amount is not significant because the trade accounts receivable are usually recovered in the short term. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate except for current receivables, considering that the recognition of interest is immaterial. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 there was no interest income on loans and receivables.
Other current assets	3.13 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 and product promotion 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. Prepaid assets are carried to the appropriate caption in the income statement when inherent benefits and risks have already 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 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. Coca-Cola FEMSA has agreements with customers for the right to sell and promote Coca-Cola FEMSA’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, with amortization presented as a reduction of net sales. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, such amortization aggregated to Ps. 273, Ps. 277 and Ps. 759, respectively.
Equity accounted investees	3.14 Equity accounted investees 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 it is not 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 value of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company’s shareholding of the associate since the acquisition date. The financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the consolidated net income and other comprehensive income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. Profits and losses resulting from ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’ transactions between the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) and an associate are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate. ‘Upstream’ transactions are, for example, sales of assets from an associate to the Company. ‘Downstream’ transactions are, for example, sales of assets from the Company to an associate. The Company’s share in the associate’s profits and losses resulting from these transactions is eliminated. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of 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 to pay the associate or has to make 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 associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the share of the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated income statements. If an investment interest is reduced, but continues to be classified as an associate, the Company reclassifies to profits or losses the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to the reduction in ownership interest if the gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to consolidated net income on the disposal of the related investment. The Company reclassifies in each case proportionate to the interest disposed of recognized in other comprehensive income: i) foreign exchange differences, ii) accumulated hedging gains and losses, iii) any other amount previously recognized that would had been recognized in net income if the associate had directly disposed of the asset to which it relates. Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. A joint arrangement is an arrangement of 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. 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. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company does not have an interest in joint operations. If an investment interest is reduced, but continues to be classified as joint arrangement, the Company reclassifies to profits or losses the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to the reduction in ownership interest if the gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to consolidated net income on the partial disposal of the related investment. The Company reclassifies the proportion to the interest disposed of in joint ventures investment interest reduction. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company does not have a significant disposal or partial disposal in joint arrangements. Upon loss of joint control over the joint venture, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value.
Property, plant and equipment	3.15 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 asset is capitalized as part of the cost of that asset, if material. Major maintenance costs are capitalized as part of total acquisition cost. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Investments in progress consist 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 over the asset’s estimated useful life. Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful lives, they are accounted and depreciated for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The Company estimates depreciation rates, considering the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows: Years Buildings 25-50 Machinery and equipment 10-20 Distribution equipment 7-15 Refrigeration equipment 5-7 Returnable bottles 1.5-3 Leasehold improvements The shorter of lease term or 15 years Information technology equipment 3-5 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. 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 consolidated income statement. Returnable and non-returnable Coca-Cola FEMSA has two types of bottles: returnable and non-returnable. • Non-returnable: • Returnable: 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 considering their estimated useful lives. There are two types of returnable bottles: • Those that are in Coca-Cola FEMSA’s control within its facilities, plants and distribution centers; and • Those that have been placed in the hands of customers, and still belong to Coca-Cola FEMSA. Returnable bottles that have been placed in the hands of customers are subject to an agreement with a retailer pursuant to which Coca-Cola FEMSA retains ownership. These bottles are monitored by sales personnel during periodic visits to retailers and Coca-Cola FEMSA 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. Coca-Cola FEMSA’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 useful estimated lives of the bottles.
Leases	3.16 Leases Under IFRS 16, the Company assesses at its inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease when the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. The Company assesses whether a contract is a lease arrangement, when: • The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the lessor has substantive substitution rights, then the asset is not identified; • The Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and • The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing 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 either: i) it has the right to operate the asset; or ii) the design of the asset predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used. The Company enters into leases mainly for land and buildings for its retail stores and other buildings for its offices. In general, lease agreements for retail stores last 15 years, and office space agreements last between three and five years. As a lessee Initial recognition At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. The future lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is considered as the rate that the Company would negotiate when financing for a similar period, and with a similar guarantee, to obtain an asset of a similar value to the lease asset. For the Company, the discount rate used to measure the right of use asset and its lease liability is the rate related to the cost of financing for the Company from the consolidated perspective (“ Ultimate Parent Company”) Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability, comprise the following: • Fixed payments, including in-substance • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; and • The exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early. • Amounts expected to be payable to the lessor under residual value guarantees. The Company does not recognize a right-of-use low-value Subsequent measurement The right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company remeasures the lease liability when there is a modification in the lease term or amounts of expected payments under a residual value guarantee and when it is arising from a change in an index or rate, without modifying the incremental borrowing rate (unless it results from a change in a floating rate). The lease liability is remeasured using a new incremental borrowing rate at the date of the modification when: • An extension or termination option is exercised modifying the non-cancellable • The Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying value amount of the right-of-use right-of-use A modification to the lease agreement is accounted for as a separate lease if both of the following conditions are met: i) the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right-to-use In the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interest expense from the lease liability is recognized as a component of finance costs, unless it is directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy on borrowing costs. Depreciation of the right-of-use Leasehold improvements on lease agreements are recognized as a part of property, plant and equipment in the consolidated financial statements and are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of either the useful life of the assets or the related lease term contract. The Company has recognized a significant amount of right-of-use As a lessor If the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception if each arrangement is either a finance lease or an operating lease. Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If not, all other leases are classified as operating leases. The Company considers certain relevant indicators, amongst others, to determine if all the risks and rewards are substantially transferred, such as: • Whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset, or • Whether the minimum future lease payments compare with the fair value of the underlying asset. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of the consolidated statement of income, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. The Company also recognizes costs, including depreciation of the leased assets, incurred in earning the lease revenue. The Company initially recognizes an amount equal to the net investment of the lease, that is, the present value of future lease payments plus any guarantee of residual value that is granted; and it includes the distinction between the current portion of the receivables with maturity less than or equal to a term of 12 months and the non-current (i) fixed payments, including those that are in substance fixed payments, which may include a variability, but that are unavoidable in essence, less any lease incentive to be received; (ii) payments for variable rent that depend on an index or a rate at the start date of the lease contract; (iii) amounts payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees (if applicable); (iv) the price related to a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option (if applicable); and (v) payments for penalties derived from the termination of the lease, if the term of the lease reflects that the lessee will exercise an option to terminate the lease. All intra-group right-of-use
Borrowing costs	3.17 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Borrowing costs may include: • Interest expense; and • Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Intangible assets	3.18 Intangible assets Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary 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, with a range in useful lives from 3 to 10 years. Expenditures that do not fulfill the requirements for capitalization are expensed as incurred. • Long-term alcohol licenses are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range between 12 and 15 years, and are presented as part of intangible assets with finite useful lives. Amortized intangible assets, such as finite lived 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 may exceed 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. Additionally, the Company’s intangible assets with an indefinite life also consist of FEMSA Comercio – Health Division’s trademark rights which consist of standalone beauty store retail banners, pharmaceutical distribution to third-party clients and the production of generic and bioequivalent pharmaceuticals. As of December 31, 2019, and in regards to a joint restructure with TCCC for the bottling agreements, Coca-Cola FEMSA had four bottler agreements in Mexico: (i) the agreements for the Valley of Mexico territory, which are up for renewal in June 2023, (ii) the agreement for the Southeast territory, which is up for renewal in June 2023, (iii) one 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, 2019, and in regards to a joint restructure with TCCC for the bottling agreements, Coca-Cola FEMSA had two bottler agreements in Brazil which are up for renewal in October 2027; and three bottler agreements in Guatemala, which are up for renewal in March 2025 and April 2028 (two contracts). In addition, Coca-Cola FEMSA had one bottler agreement in each country which are 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. The bottler agreements are automatically renewable for ten-year
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations	3.19 Non-current Non-current non-current • The appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group); • An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated; • The active (disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and • The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Non-current The discontinued operations are operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity, that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: • Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; • Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or • Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Discontinued operations are excluded from the continuing operations and are also presented as a single entity as earnings (loss) after income taxes of discontinued operations in the income statement. For further information, please see Note 4. In addition, the information included elsewhere in this report, includes only continuing operations otherwise it would be indicated the opposite.
Impairment of long-lived assets	3.20 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 with finite lives 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 CGU, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest CGU for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. For the purpose of impairment testing goodwill acquired in a business combination, from the acquisition date, is allocated to each of the group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. 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 related CGU might exceed its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. value-in-use, pre-tax 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, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized impairment losses of Ps. 1,018, Ps. 432 and 2,063, respectively (see Note 20).
Financial liabilities and equity instruments	3.21 Financial liabilities and equity instruments 3.21.1 Classification as debt or equity Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company 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. 3.21.2 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 at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in 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. 3.21.3 Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for derivatives instruments designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, financial liabilities arising from transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, financial guarantee contracts and contingent consideration obligation 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 3.9. Subsequent measurement The subsequent measurement of the Company’s financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below. 3.21.4 Loans and borrowings After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest method amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account 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 income statements, see Note 19. 3.21.5 Derecognition A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, 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 derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated income statements.
Provisions	3.22 Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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 26. 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, 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.
Post-employment and other long-term employee benefits	3.23 Post-employment and other long-term employee benefits Post-employment and other long-term employee benefits, which are considered to be monetary items, include obligations for pension and retirement plans, seniority premiums and postretirement medical services. In Mexico, the economic benefits from employee 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 For defined benefit retirement plans and other long-term employee benefits, such as the Company’s sponsored pension and retirement plans, seniority premiums and postretirement medical service plans, 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 remeasurements effects of the Company’s defined benefit obligation such as actuarial gains and losses are recognized directly in OCI. The Company presents service costs within cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses in the consolidated income statements. The Company presents net interest cost within interest expense in the consolidated income statements. 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 payment of pension benefits, seniority premiums and postretirement medical services 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; or b) When it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 “ Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets 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 an employer enters into a transaction that eliminates all further legal for constructive obligations for 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.
Revenue recognition	3.24 Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when the control of performance obligations included in the contract are transferred to the customer. Control refers to the ability that customer has to direct the use and also to obtain substantially all the benefits of the goods or services exchanged. Management defined the following as indicators to analyze the timing and circumstances as well as the amount by which the revenues would be recognized: • Identify the contract(s) with a customer (written, oral or any other according with business practices); • Evaluating the goods and services committed in the contract and identify how each performance obligation in the contract will be transferred to the customer; • Considering the contractual terms jointly with business practices to determinate the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the committed goods and services to the customer, excluding tax on sales. The expected consideration in a contract should include fixed or variable amounts, or both; • Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligations in the contract (to each good and service that is different) for an amount that represents the consideration to which the entity expects to receive in exchange to the goods and services arranged with the customer; and • Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation in exchange for committed goods and services. All of the above conditions are typically met at the point in time that goods are delivered to the customer at the customers’ facilities. Net sales reflect units delivered at list prices reduced by promotional allowances and discounts. The benefits granted from supplier to the Company as discounts and incentives are recognized as benefit in the cost of goods sold, because they do not represent an additional revenue by mean of which a separate performance obligation is to be satisfied, with a separate reasonable fair value to be identified by the Company. The Company generates revenues for the following activities: Sale of goods It includes the sales of goods by all the subsidiaries of the Company, mainly the sale of beverages of the leading brand of Coca-Cola and the sale or consumption of goods in the small-format stores of the FEMSA Comercio – Proximity, FEMSA Comercio – Health and FEMSA Comercio – Fuel Divisions; in which the revenue is recognized in the point of time those products were sold to the customers. See Note 28. Rendering of services It includes the revenues of distribution services, maintenance services and packing of raw materials 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 consume simultaneously the benefits, as the Company satisfies the obligation; • The customer controls related assets, even if the Company improve them; • The revenues can be measured reliably; and • Is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company. Financial products It includes interest generated on related financial assets used by third parties which includes accounts receivables recorded when the following conditions are accomplished: • The revenues can be measured reliably; and • It is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company. In addition, the Company evaluates the revenue recognition based on the classification previously defined for the financial asset that generates the related financial product, according with the business models establishes for the financial instruments classified by the Company. See Note 3.9. The main financial instruments of the Company that could generate a financial product are trade accounts receivables classified as financial assets held to maturity to cover cash flows which are measured at amortized cost through the effective interest rate method, applying EIR, which is the rate that exactly discounts the collections of cash flows to the expected life of the related financial asset. Rewards programs The Company recognizes a provision for the obligation to award additional benefits to its customers. Management considers for those effects, the expectation that some percentage of its customers would not redeem their rewards points in future based on previous experience. Variable allowances granted to customers The Company adjust the transaction price based on its estimated amount of rebates and promotional allowances, among others. Those estimations include commercial commitments with customers and previous expected performance. The variable allowances are assigned to each related performance obligation. Contracts costs The incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer are recognized as an asset (capitalized) if the Company expect to recover those costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The Company recognizes those costs as an expense in the income statement when the income associated with those costs is incurred for a period equal to or less than a year. For any other cost that is related with the fulfillment of a contract with a customer, but it is not part of the own revenue recognition, then this will be considered as an asset including related costs, but only if those costs are related with a contract or with a contract that the Company expects to identify specifically and also, those costs generates or improves the resources of the Company that will be applied to satisfy, or continue satisfying; the performance obligations in the future and that is expected to recover those costs. The asset recognized is amortized progressively in the same manner as the exchange of the goods and services are transferred to the customer, accordingly, the asset is recognized in the income statement through its amortization in the same period of time in which the revenue is recognized.
Administrative and selling expenses	3.25 Administrative and selling expenses Administrative expenses include labor costs (salaries and other benefits, including employee profit sharing (“PTU”)) of employees not directly involved in the sale or production 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, outbound freight costs, warehousing costs of finished products, write off of returnable bottles in the distribution process, depreciation and maintenance of trucks and other distribution facilities and equipment. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, these distribution costs amounted to Ps. 25,068, Ps. 23,421 and Ps. 25,041, respectively; • Sales: labor costs and sales commissions paid to sales personnel; and • Marketing: promotional expenses and advertising costs. PTU is paid by the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries to 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.
Income taxes	3.26 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. 3.26.1 Current income taxes Income taxes are recorded in the results of the year they are incurred. 3.26.2 Deferred income taxes Deferred tax is 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, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and future tax planning strategies that will create taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition of goodwill (no recognition of deferred tax liabilities) or 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 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 long-term asset or liability, regardless of when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax relating to items recognized in the other comprehensive income are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction in OCI. 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 is 30%, for 2019, 2018 and 2017, and it is expected to remain at 30% for the following years.
Share-based payments arrangements	3.27 Share-based payments arrangements 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 the Company until vesting. They are accounted for as equity settled transactions. The award of equity instruments is a fixed monetary value on the grant date. Equity-settled 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 equity-settled share-based payments is expensed and recognized based on the graded vesting method over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in consolidated income statements such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate.
Earnings per share	3.28 Earnings per share The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its shares. 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 determined by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding including the weighted average of own shares purchased in the year for the effects of all potentially dilutive securities, which comprise share rights granted to employees described above.
Issuance of subsidiary common shares	3.29 Issuance of subsidiary common shares The Company recognizes the issuance of a subsidiary’s common shares as an equity transaction. The difference between the book value of the shares issued and the amount contributed by the non-controlling paid-in
