BETTERWARE REPORTS AN INCREASE OF 27.5% IN NET SALES AND 17.2% IN EBITDA VS Q1 2019

 

Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, May 11, 2020. - Betterware de Mexico S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Betterware” or the “Company”), announced today its consolidated financial results for the first quarter 2020. The figures presented in this report are expressed in nominal Mexican Pesos (Ps.) unless otherwise noted, are un-audited, prepared in accordance with IFRS and may include minor differences due to rounding.

 

Message from the Executive Chairman

 

It is a pleasure to share our financial and operating highlights for Q1 2020 (our first quarterly earnings release) which follows the achievement of a paramount milestone in our operating history, during mid-March, we became the first Mexican company to be directly listed on Nasdaq. The proceeds obtained from the listing will contribute to bolster our business platform, in order to pursue our long-term goals.

 

In this regard, the incremental commercial outreach provided by our solid distribution network comprised of more than 25,000 distributors and 475,000 associates, together with the inherent benefits from the deployment of cutting-edge technologies, constant product innovation and data analysis, allowed us to reinforce our leadership in the home solutions sector in Mexico.

 

We have reviewed our commercial strategy for the rest of 2020 and have made the necessary adjustments considering the possible adverse impacts derived from the COVID-19 contingency. We revised our fixed and variable expenses and capex, to focus on expenses and investments related to maintaining the expected sales growth.

 

Finally, we will continue strengthening our logistics and commercial outreach, including the opening of our new distribution center planned for the fourth quarter of 2020, which will utilize new technologies and automation to improve our operating efficiencies. The economic benefits from these initiatives will be reflected in our 2021 results and future periods.

 

Luis Campos

Executive Chairman

 

Message from the CEO

 

The results obtained during Q1 2020 were the outcome of the growth in distributors (+36.1% vs Q1 2019) and associates (+31.4% vs Q1 2019), which propelled the Company's net sales to reach Ps. $967.9 million, representing an increase of 27.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. Additionally, EBITDA for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps. $238.4 million (+17.2% vs Q1 2019) and Net Income to Ps. $145.5 million (+21.6% vs Q1 2019).

 

Our results in Q1 2020 were adversely affected during the last two weeks of March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our sales estimates were not achieved by Ps. 13.0 million, amount which reduced 0.7pp the expected sales growth for the quarter. Additionally, the Mexican Peso devaluation against the US Dollar impacted our expected gross margin for the quarter, reducing it by 1.8 pp, resulting in a gross margin of 56.1%, and our expected EBITDA margin of 28.5% was also reduced by 3.5 pp resulting in a 25.0% EBITDA margin.

Regarding our financial position, as of March 31, 2020, our net debt to EBITDA ratio remained at healthy levels of 0.2x; while a strong generation of cash led to a 25.9% increase in the Adjusted Levered Free Cash Flow, thus boosting our liquidity.
