Coca-Cola FEMSA Impairment Tests for cash-generating Units Containing Goodwill, Distribution Rights and Other indefinite lived intangible assets
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and distribution rights are allocated and monitored on an individual country basis, which is considered to be the CGU.

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill, distribution rights and other indefinite lived intangible assets allocated to each CGU are as follows:
December 31, 2025December 31, 2024
MexicoPs.56,971Ps.57,689

Brazil27,99628,199
Argentina422512
Uruguay2,3932,452
TotalPs.96,654Ps.97,198

The foregoing forecasts were projected based on actual operating results and the five- year business plan that reflect the outcomes that Coca-Cola FEMSA considers most likely to occur based on the current situation of each of the CGUs including the macroeconomic factors in each CGU, the foregoing forecasts could differ from the results obtained over time. Sustainability- and climate-related risks and opportunities are incorporated into long range planning cash flows. Coca-Cola FEMSA allocates resources to sustainability- and climate-related strategic initiatives through financial planning, investment prioritization, and disciplined operational execution, designed to support the implementation and continuity of its climate and sustainability strategy while strengthening business resilience across multiple time horizons. However, these forecasts may differ from actual results as time progresses.

The value in use of CGUs is determined based on the method of discounted cash flows. The key assumptions used to calculate value in use are: expected volume growth rate, expected annual long-term inflation, and the WACC used to discount the projected flows.

To determine the discount rate, Coca-Cola FEMSA uses the WACC for each of the cash generating units in real terms and as described in following paragraphs.

The estimated discount rates to perform the impairment test for each CGU considers market participants’ assumptions. Market participants were selected considering 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 into the projected cash flows. 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 Coca-Cola FEMSA’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing of Coca-Cola FEMSA, 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 key assumptions used for the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the five-year business plan.
For discounting cash flows to get the recoverable amount of the units, Coca-Cola FEMSA applies the WACC for each CGU, and the calculation assumes a size premium adjustments.
The key assumptions by CGU for impairment testing as of December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Sensitivity to Changes in Assumptions
On December 31, 2025, Coca-Cola FEMSA performed an additional impairment sensitivity calculation, taking into account an adverse change in post-tax WACC, according to the country risk premium, using for each country the relative standard deviation between equity and sovereign bonds and an additional sensitivity to the volume of 100 basis points and concluded that no impairment would be recorded.

Health Division Impairment Test for cash-generating Units Containing Goodwill and Trademark Rights

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and trademark rights are allocated and monitored on an individual country basis. The Company has identified its cash-generating units as follows: Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador.

As of December 31, 2025 the Health Division has goodwill and trademark rights allocated to cash-generating units across all countries in which the Company operates with a total carrying amount of Ps. 7,523. The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill and trademark rights allocated to each CGU as of December 31, 2025 are as follows: Chile Ps. 6,742, Colombia Ps. 762 and Ecuador Ps. 19. The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill and trademark rights allocated to each CGU as of December 31, 2024 are as follows: Chile Ps. 6,383, Colombia Ps. 660 and Ecuador Ps. 31. Mexico CGU was impaired in 2024 for Ps. 1,975.
The recoverable amounts are based on the 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: expected sales growth rates, expected annual long-term inflation, and the 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 the following paragraphs.
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.
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 calculations are as follows:
Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the five-year business plan.
For discounting cash flows to get the recoverable amount of the units, the Company applies the WACC for each CGU, and the calculation assumes a size premium adjustments.
