Net earnings rose to MXN4bn, up from MXN3.89bn in the comparable period of last year. EBITDA gained almost 6% to MXN3.26bn. Nine-month operating margin rose to 9.8%, up from 9.6% in the year ago period.
However, the company said that its margins were squeezed in the third quarter when higher input costs and foreign exchange expenses dragged. Third-quarter operating margin fell to 9.8% from 10.1% in the third quarter of 2013.
