compared to the third quarter of 2011, driven by new store openings and 7.6% growth in same-store sales.
José Antonio Fernández Carbajal, Chairman and CEO of FEMSA, commented: "During the third quarter, we saw the performance trends for our two core operations converging in the best possible way. While Coca-Cola FEMSA experienced some margin pressure earlier in the year, in Q3 they were able to capitalize on stable volumes, solid pricing, and improving raw materials and foreign exchange dynamics that led them to achieve double-digit operating income growth. For its part, FEMSA Comercio maintained its brisk pace and grew operating income more than 24% on the back of consistent, balanced same-store sales growth and an ever-improving level of execution.
In terms of more strategic developments, we have made good progress in our analysis of the opportunity we face in the Philippines, and the process continues to move in the right direction.
And so, we are once more in the final stretch of a year that has brought us a combination of opportunities and challenges, and we are excited to approach the final couple of months of 2012 with strong momentum across our business units and across our markets."
