In 1H17, the cost of sales totaled $22,995.4 million; $2,904.1 million or 14.5% higher than $20,091.3 million reported in 1H16. The increase in cost of sales is mainly attributed to higher volume sold and higher raw material costs in Mexican peso terms when compared to the same period of 2016.

As a result, we reached a gross profit of $5,805.8 million and a gross margin of 20.2% in 1H17, when compare to $5,110.2 million of gross profit and a margin of 20.3% reached in the same period of 2016.

Total SG&A expenses in 1H17 were $2,558.9 million; $252.1 million or 10.9% more than the $2,306.8 million reported in 1H16. In 1H17 total SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales represented 8.9% compare with 9.2% in 1H16. This increase is mainly attributed to higher volume sold.

In 1H17 we had other income of $12.9 million, compared with other expenses of $15.5 million reported in 1H16.

The operating income in 1H17 was $3,259.8 million, which represents an operating margin of 11.3%, an increase of 16.9% from an operating income of $2,787.9 million and an operating margin of 11.1% in 1H16.

The net financial income in 1H17 was $27.0 million, lower when compared to a net financial income of $333.7 million in 1H16, mainly attributed to exchange rate losses as the Mexican peso recovered vs the US dollar during the semester.

Total taxes were $911.2 million as of June 30, 2017. These taxes include $677.3 million of income tax and $233.8 million of deferred income taxes. This figure compares to total taxes of $944.7 million in 1H16; the decrease was due to lower income before taxes.

All the above resulted in a net income of $2,375.7 million or 8.2% of net margin in the 1H17, which represents $3.96 pesos of earnings per share, while in the 1H16 the net income totaled $2,176.9 million, 8.6% of net margin and $3.62 pesos of net income per share.
