MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico’s FESMA , which controls one of the largest Coca-Cola (NYSE:) bottlers and a string of convenience store chains, posted a 22% jump in its first-quarter revenue Friday, driven by strong sales in Oxxo stores and fintech services growth.
Same-store-sales in FEMSA’s Oxxo convenience stores across Latin America grew 18.3%.
On the back of the company’s one-off sale of their stake in Dutch beer giant Heineken (OTC:), the firm’s net profit surged more than eight times in the period to 50.3 billion pesos ($2.8 billion).
In February, FEMSA announced plans to focus on its core operations, and to divest from its stake in Heineken.
The company’s subsidiary, Coca-Cola FEMSA, reported a 35% bump in quarterly net income on Wednesday, following strong growth in Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Uruguay.
