Cumulative net sales rose 13.4% reflecting growth in every region, primarily due to FX rates benefit and solid organic growth in. Net sales in rose 6.5% over the same period of 2015, driven by stronger volumes in all sales channels, most notably the modern. Outperforming brands in the period included Oroweat, Tia Rosa, Barcel and Marinela, and almost every category posted solid growth. Of particular note, the sweet baked goods category reversed its past trend and generated sales and volume growth in the second quarter, as a result of focused promotions and in-store execution. Net sales in peso terms grew 19.8% in the first half of the year largely as a result of the exchange rate benefit, while dollardenominated sales increased a slight 1%. Volume pressure in the private label bread category in the US and competitive pressure in the bread category in Canada more than offset sales growth in strategic brands, the frozen business and the snacks category in the US, and solid performance of the buns category in Canada. 18,824 19,944 18,631 19,962 24,935 30,181 28,307 33,

3 The 6.9% rise in net sales reflected volume increases in several countries, particularly Brazil, despite a deceleration in the pace of growth in that country, as well as Peru and most of the Central America region. Challenging economic conditions and currency volatility in some markets such as Argentina and Uruguay put downward pressure in sales. Nonetheless, highlights in the period include a reduction in returns and new product launches such as Line Zero and Coconut bread in Brazil. Net sales rose 13.6% as a result of FX rate benefits, as volumes in Iberia remained soft due to competitive pressure and weak performance of the bread category, which more than offset healthy growth of new product launches. 5,774 5,990 5,864 6,449 1,785 2,023 1,858 2, GROSS PROFIT % Change Gross Profit 6M16 6M15 % Change 11,391 10, ,613 21, ,068 14, ,780 26, ,868 2, ,596 5, ,778 1, ,977 28, ,224 54,

Operating income rose 32.8% over the prior year, with a 100 basis point expansion in the margin to 7.4%, mainly reflecting the abovementioned gross margin benefit as well as lower restructuring expenses in the US and. These factors were partially offset by: i) higher integration and restructuring expenses in Canada due to the enterprise software migration process and investments in manufacturing efficiency; and ii) higher expenses in related to the retirement of fixed assets in Brazil, as well as integration-related expenses in Argentina arising from the frozen business acquisition ,575 3,853 3,989 4,861 (% of net sales) COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL RESULT Comprehensive financing resulted in a Ps. 2,478 million cost in the period, compared to Ps. 1,983 million in the first half of 2015, or Ps. 495 million higher.
