EBITDA and Margin Expansion
EBITDA grew 14% year-over-year and EBITDA margin expanded from 15.3% to 17.4% (+211 bps). Management noted that, excluding extraordinary Tupperware transaction expenses, margin would have been ~18.4%. Net income nearly doubled year-over-year, reflecting normalized profitability and lower interest expense.
Revenue Stability with Select Growth
Group revenue increased modestly by 0.3% year-over-year. Betterware/BetterWork delivered 2.6% growth despite one fewer week in the quarter, and on a same-week comparable basis Betterware revenue would have been ~3.3%.
Strong Cash Generation and Shareholder Returns
Free cash flow converted 58% of EBITDA into cash. The board proposed a MXN $200 million dividend (25th consecutive quarterly dividend since IPO), maintaining a trailing twelve-month dividend-to-EBITDA ratio of 33%.
Improving Leverage and Capital Efficiency
Net debt/EBITDA improved to 1.5x (down from 2.4x at end-2022 and 3.1x at the time of the Jafra acquisition). ROTA improved to 22.7%, ROIC increased to 27%, and trailing EPS reached MXN $31.9, indicating stronger returns and a healthier balance sheet.
Regional Expansion Momentum
Jafra US net revenue rose 8.6% in USD with associate base +3.4% YoY and improving productivity. Company launched BetterWork Colombia and reported continued scaling in Ecuador and Guatemala (group contribution from these up from 0.1% to 0.7% of revenue).
Business Unit Profitability Gains
Betterware/BetterWork EBITDA margin improved by 190 bps to 20.5% with EBITDA +12.9% YoY. Jafra Mexico improved EBITDA margin by 165 bps to 17%, driven by cost management and restructuring benefits.
Strategic M&A Opportunity — Tupperware
Announced acquisition of Tupperware Latin America (pending antitrust approval) expected to be immediately earnings accretive and estimated to contribute ~40% to EPS, providing a strong entry into Brazil (≈$100M revenue market) and broader LATAM expansion potential.
Digital & Product Initiatives
Progress on digital transformation: Salesforce CRM rollout expected Q2, Jafra Plus app Q3, BetterWare Plus analytics, payment system pilot, catalog redesign (H2 launch), and new product line success (Better Clean Tabs) to drive higher-frequency consumption.
