In the third quarter of 2024, Grupo Bimbo reported robust financial results, highlighted by a record high in net sales for the quarter at Ps.106,046 million, marking a 7.4% increase. The company’s diverse geographical presence and product categories contributed to its strong performance, despite facing challenges in some regions.

Key financial metrics reveal a mixed performance across different regions. Mexico stood out with a significant volume growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin nearing 22%. The EAA region achieved its highest EBITDA margin ever at 10%, while Latin America showed signs of recovery. However, North America experienced a challenging environment, with consumption trends remaining soft, impacting the overall operating margin which contracted by 100 basis points.

Strategically, Grupo Bimbo continued its expansion efforts by signing agreements to acquire companies like Don Don in Southeast Europe and Wickbold in Brazil, while completing the acquisition of Pagnifique in Uruguay. These moves are expected to enhance its global footprint and operational capabilities.

Looking ahead, Grupo Bimbo remains focused on leveraging its diversified portfolio and strategic investments to navigate market challenges and drive long-term growth. The company’s management is optimistic about its ability to maintain its leading position in the global market, supported by ongoing improvements in its operational efficiencies.
