- Brazil and Colombia remained major growth engines. Brazil volume increased 5.2% and Colombia surged 17.7%, with both markets gaining share and delivering strong operating leverage; management expects Brazil to continue performing well and Colombia to maintain healthy growth despite tougher comparisons in the second half.
- Mexico showed sequential improvement but remains challenging. Management raised its full-year volume outlook from slightly negative to approximately flat, citing improving trends and share gains, but warned that consumer weakness and intense competition persist; the company plans to complete its inflation pass-through in August while maintaining affordability through larger and returnable packages.
- Zero-sugar, energy drinks, and digital execution are gaining momentum.

- Brazil faces potential 2027 regulatory and cost risks. Management cited uncertainty around a possible selective tax increase and a proposed shift from a six-days-on/one-day-off labor schedule to five-days-on/two-days-off, both of which could raise costs or create an adjustment year. Argentina also remained weak, with volume down 2.8% amid a truck strike and soft consumer demand.
