EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.           

As of March 31, 2024, Elektra* outstanding shares were 220.7 million and as of March 31, 2025, were 209.5 million.

Revenue

Consolidated revenue increased 16% in the period, reflecting a 23% increase in financial revenue and a 5% increase in commercial sales.

The increase in financial income — to Ps.33,844 million, up from Ps.27,526 million the previous year — largely reflects a 21% increase in Banco Azteca México's revenue, amid continued growth in its gross loan portfolio, which boosts the well-being of millions of families and business development.

The increase in revenue from the commercial business, to Ps.17,924 million, from Ps.17,036 million a year ago, is largely due to growth in motorcycle sales — which strengthen business productivity and the mobility of millions of people — and home appliances — which boost the quality of life of a growing number of families.

Costs and expenses

Consolidated costs for the quarter grew 9% to Ps.23,550 million, compared to Ps.21,534 million a year earlier. This increase is explained by a 19% growth in financial costs — derived from greater creation of loan reserves, in the context of solid growth in the consolidated gross portfolio — and a 2% increase in commercial costs, consistent with growth in merchandise sales.

Lower increase in consolidated costs relative to revenues for the period led to a 23% growth in gross profit, to Ps.28,219 million, from Ps.23,028 million a year ago. Gross margin increased three percentage points to 55% this quarter.

Selling, administrative and promotional expenses grew 28% to Ps.21,280 million, from Ps.16,665 million a year ago, as a result of higher operating and advertising expenses during the period.

EBITDA and net result

EBITDA grew 9% to Ps.6,939 million, compared to Ps.6,363 million in the previous year. The EBITDA margin was 13% in the period. The company reported an operating income of Ps.4,553 million, compared to Ps.4,067 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Relevant variations below EBITDA were the following:

An increase of Ps.82 million in depreciation and amortization, resulting from growth in the right-of-use asset balance.

An increase of Ps.91 million in interest expense, resulting from a higher balance of debt with cost at the end of the quarter compared to the previous year.

Consistent with the quarterly results, there was an increase of Ps.123 million in the tax provision for the period.

Grupo Elektra reported a net income of Ps.1,865 million, up from Ps.1,721 million a year ago.

Unconsolidated balance sheet

A proforma balance sheet exercise of Grupo Elektra is presented, which allows knowing the non-consolidated financial situation, excluding the net assets of the financial business, whose investment is valued in this case under the participation method.

This presentation shows the debt of the company without considering Banco Azteca's immediate and term deposits, which do not constitute debt with cost for Grupo Elektra. Also, the pro forma balance sheet does not include the bank's gross loan portfolio.

This provides greater clarity about the various businesses that make up the company and enables financial market participants to estimate its value while considering only the relevant debt for such calculations.

Consistent with the above, debt with cost as of March 31, 2025 , was Ps.41,920 million, compared to Ps.38,568 million the previous year. This increase largely reflects the issuance of fiduciary certificates and the drawdown of bank lines during the period.

Cash and cash equivalents were Ps.9,000 million, up from Ps.12,267 million a year ago, and net debt was Ps.32,920 million, compared to Ps.26,301 million a year ago.
