Q3 2024 Alfa SAB de CV Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Alfa SAB de CV (ALFFF) successfully transformed its conglomerate structure into four independent business units, allowing each to achieve fair valuation based on individual merits.
- The company raised $400 million in capital to reduce debt, with the capital increase being oversubscribed by more than 2.6 times.
- Alpek reported its highest quarterly comparable EBITDA since 2022, prompting an upward revision of its full-year guidance by 13% to $675 million.
- Sigma achieved an all-time high in consolidated EBITDA for the third consecutive quarter, marking its 14th consecutive quarter of year-on-year growth.
- Sigma's diverse portfolio and multi-channel distribution across 17 countries offer a unique opportunity in resilient sectors, aligning its valuation multiple with global food peers.
- Alfa SAB de CV (ALFFF) will no longer issue consolidated guidance following the spin-off of Alpek, creating potential uncertainty for investors.
- The company faces a temporary reclassification impact on EBITDA due to discontinued operations with Alpek, affecting comparability.
- A change in accounting methodology led to a $2 million loss in third-quarter consolidated majority net income.
- There is potential FX volatility that could impact Sigma's margins in Mexico in the fourth quarter.
- The company is still in the process of finalizing the spin-off of Alpek, which is expected to be completed in 2025, potentially delaying full realization of strategic goals.

It is my pleasure to participate in today's call. Together with Alvaro Fernandez, ALFA's Chairman and CEO; Eduardo Escalante, ALFA's CFO; and Roberto Olivares, Sigma's CFO. I will now turn the call over to Alvaro.
