Key Points

Positve
  • Alfa SAB de CV (ALFFF) successfully completed its corporate transformation, evolving into a focused food company with leading brands across 17 countries.
  • The company's credit ratings improved, with both Alfa and Sigma now rated 3B, up from 3B minus, reflecting a simplified business model and lower leverage.
  • Alfa SAB de CV (ALFFF) achieved a 5% year-over-year revenue growth in local currencies, driven by resilient volume and solid currency-neutral performance.
  • Mexico operations showed strong performance with a 12% revenue increase in local currency, driven by revenue management and volume growth in packaged meats and cheese categories.
  • The company declared a cash dividend of $83 million and reconfigured its board of directors to align with post-transformation business needs, strengthening governance with deeper consumer sector expertise.
Negative
  • First quarter revenues and EBITDA were down 5% and 17% respectively, compared to record high results in 2024, due to a weaker foreign exchange rate.
  • The European operations were negatively impacted by the temporary closure of the Torrent plant due to flooding, affecting production and margins.
  • Raw material cost pressures, particularly in poultry due to avian flu, have not yet been fully offset by price actions, impacting margins.
  • In the United States, first quarter volume was 3% lower year-over-year due to temporary softness in mainstream brands linked to deferred promotional cycles.
  • Latin America experienced a 16% decline in EBITDA in local currency, primarily due to higher raw material costs, despite record first quarter volume and revenue.
