Andrés Campos Chevallier: Tupperware remains a highly recognized brand in food and drink containers, and we see clear opportunities to enhance revenue and profitability through innovation, technology, and our proven commercial model. It also provides a strong entry into Brazil, a country with a population of over 200 million, with an established operation that creates a platform to introduce Betterware and capture cross-market synergies. At the same time, the manufacturing footprint in Mexico and Brazil strengthens our sourcing flexibility, enabling us to leverage excess capacity, localize production, and optimize costs. At an implied multiple of 3.1x enterprise value to EBITDA, we consider this a highly attractive as well as accretive acquisition, with an estimated 40% earnings per share accretion based on our purchase price assumptions. Overall, this transaction reinforces our strategy of scaling strong brands with a proven discipline value-creating platform.

Andrés Campos Chevallier: Finally, on slide 23, we come to our fifth pillar, which is the foundation that supports every strategic decision we make: financial strength, discipline, and control. This principle has consistently defined our company over the years. It enables us to pursue growth while safeguarding the long-term health of the organization and has proven especially critical during periods of volatility in our markets. We remain focused on rigorous cost oversight, inventory control, disciplined working capital management, and maintaining prudent leverage levels. Financial discipline is not simply an element of our strategic framework, it is embedded in the way we operate every day. With that overview, I will now hand the call over to Rodrigo Muñoz, our Chief Financial Officer, who will review these five pillars in more detail.

Andrés Campos Chevallier: Thank you. Thank you.
Andres Campos: Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker #2: Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker #5: How should we be thinking about the Mexican consumer? I know that last year, especially Q1, was difficult. And I guess Q1 is having its own interesting issues right now too.
Eric Beder: How should we be thinking about the Mexican consumer? I know that last year, especially Q1, was difficult, and I guess Q1 is having its own interesting issues right now, too. You know, how are they looking at the world, and how would you look this year in terms of getting a bigger share of their wallet?

Speaker #5: How are they looking at the world? And how do you look this year in terms of getting a bigger share of their wallet?
Speaker #2: Yeah, thank you, Rick. And thank you for your question. We think the Mexican consumer had a slight contraction or deceleration last year, and we believe this year should be more stable throughout the year.
Rodrigo Muñoz: Yeah. Thank you, Eric. Thank you for your question. We think the Mexican consumer had a slight contraction or deceleration last year. We believe this year should be more stable throughout the year. We believe the growth adjustment was last year, and we believe this year it should be more stable. You know, there's some positive factors, economic factors, like decreasing interest rates, that should help Mexican consumer, a more stable inflation. You know, I think with these factors, together with general economic factors, Mexican consumers should be more stable going forward.
Andres Campos: Yeah. Thank you, Eric. Thank you for your question. We think the Mexican consumer had a slight contraction or deceleration last year. We believe this year should be more stable throughout the year. We believe the growth adjustment was last year, and we believe this year it should be more stable.

Speaker #2: A more stable inflation. And I think with these factors, together with general economic factors, Mexican consumers should be more stable going forward.
Speaker #5: Okay. You guys are an incredible job with the inventories. Obviously, it generated a lot of free cash flow in Q4. And you've reduced I guess a lot of some of the overhangs you have.
Eric Beder: Okay, how you guys did an incredible job with the inventories. Obviously, it generated a lot of free cash flow in Q4, and you've reduced, I guess, a lot of some of the overhangs you have. How should we be thinking about inventory growth in 2026? How should we be thinking about that in terms of A, the opportunities, and B, what levels should be coming forward?
Eric Beder: Okay, how you guys did an incredible job with the inventories. Obviously, it generated a lot of free cash flow in Q4, and you've reduced, I guess, a lot of some of the overhangs you have. How should we be thinking about inventory growth in 2026? How should we be thinking about that in terms of A, the opportunities, and B, what levels should be coming forward?
Speaker #5: How should we be thinking about inventory growth in 2026? Michelle, how should we be thinking about that in terms of the opportunities? And, B, what levels should be coming forward?
Speaker #2: Yeah, so if you can see, we started off the year with approximately 2,500 million pesos in inventory, and we've reduced to 2,000 million pesos by the end of this year.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: Yeah. If you can see, we started off the year with MXN 2,500 million in inventory, approximately, and we've reduced to MXN 2,000 million by the end of this year. I think we are very close to optimal inventory levels, and we should not necessarily expect any relevant inventory decrease or extraordinary inventory decrease like we did this year. There's still a little bit to go, probably MXN 100 or MXN 200 million, but not much more than that.
Andres Campos: Yeah. If you can see, we started off the year with MXN 2,500 million in inventory, approximately, and we've reduced to MXN 2,000 million by the end of this year. I think we are very close to optimal inventory levels, and we should not necessarily expect any relevant inventory decrease or extraordinary inventory decrease like we did this year.

Speaker #2: I think we are very close to optimal inventory levels. And we should not necessarily expect any relevant inventory decrease or extraordinary inventory decrease like we did this year.
Speaker #2: There's still a little bit to go, probably 100 or 200 million pesos, but not much more than that.
Speaker #5: Okay. So we should see more basically growth within kind of top-line growth of going forward, if I think about it.
Eric Beder: Okay. We should see more basically growth within kind of top line growth going forward, if I think about it.
Eric Beder: Okay. We should see more basically growth within kind of top line growth going forward, if I think about it.
Speaker #2: Yes. In terms of cash flow, cash flow should come more in at our normal levels, derived from top-line growth and profitability.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: Yes. In terms of, in terms of cash flow, cash flow should come more in our normal levels, derived from top line growth and profitability.
Andres Campos: Yes. In terms of, in terms of cash flow, cash flow should come more in our normal levels, derived from top line growth and profitability.
Speaker #5: Okay. Last question on Jafra. So I saw that you had a decline in the level of distributors and other associates. And you talked about gross margin and cleaning out some of the inventories.
Eric Beder: Okay, last question on JAFRA. I saw that you had a decline in the level of distributors and other associates, and you talked about gross margin and cleaning out some of the inventories. You know, is kind of Q4 when you look at it, kind of a blip here, or should we be thinking about growth continuing for JAFRA now to somewhat more normalize the levels as the rest of the company? Thank you.
Eric Beder: Okay, last question on JAFRA. I saw that you had a decline in the level of distributors and other associates, and you talked about gross margin and cleaning out some of the inventories. You know, is kind of Q4 when you look at it, kind of a blip here, or should we be thinking about growth continuing for JAFRA now to somewhat more normalize the levels as the rest of the company? Thank you.
Speaker #5: Is kind of Q4, when you look at it, kind of a blip here? Or is that or should we be thinking about growth continuing for Jafra now to somewhat more normalize the levels as the rest of the company?
Speaker #5: Thank you.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: Are you asking specifically about gross margin levels?
Speaker #2: Do you are you asking specifically about gross margin levels?
Andres Campos: Are you asking specifically about gross margin levels?
Eric Beder: I'm actually yes, also top line, too.
Speaker #5: I'm actually—so, yes. And also top-line, too.
Eric Beder: I'm actually yes, also top line, too.
Speaker #2: Yeah. I think we should expect Jafra has continued to grow. Revenue, versus previous quarters. And consequentially, it has continued to grow the fourth quarter.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: Yeah, I think, we should expect, you know, JAFRA has continued to grow revenue versus previous quarters, and consequentially, it has continued to grow. The Q4 delivered the highest revenue mark that we have had in history. We should expect this to continue. You know, in 2025, we focused a lot of our innovation team into renovating the core lines of products. It was a lot of renovation and not that much innovation. And now that we have, you know, redesigned all those products, now 2026 is going to start seeing, again, a lot of innovation. I think this is going to start igniting growth again, and continue our expansion. There are still...
Andres Campos: Yeah, I think, we should expect, you know, JAFRA has continued to grow revenue versus previous quarters, and consequentially, it has continued to grow. The Q4 delivered the highest revenue mark that we have had in history. We should expect this to continue.

Speaker #2: Delivered the highest revenue mark that we have had in history. We should expect this to continue. In 2025, we focused a lot of our innovation team on renovating the core lines of products.
Speaker #2: So it was a lot of renovation and not that much innovation. And now that we have redesigned all those products, now 2026 is going to start seeing again a lot of innovation.
Speaker #2: So I think this is going to start igniting growth again, and continue our expansion. There's still—I mean, obviously, Jafra is a big business.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: I mean, obviously, JAFRA is a big business, and we plan to keep growing it. I think there's still a lot of things we, as we mentioned in the presentation, there's a lot of things that we plan to do, within our model in terms of innovation, in terms of laying out new technology, among other things that we plan to do to continue growing JAFRA Mexico.
Andres Campos: I mean, obviously, JAFRA is a big business, and we plan to keep growing it. I think there's still a lot of things we, as we mentioned in the presentation, there's a lot of things that we plan to do, within our model in terms of innovation, in terms of laying out new technology, among other things that we plan to do to continue growing JAFRA Mexico.
Speaker #2: And we plan to keep growing it. But I think there are still a lot of things we, as we mentioned in the presentation, there are a lot of things that we plan to do within our model in terms of innovation, in terms of laying out new technology, among other things that we plan to do to continue growing Jafra Mexico.
Speaker #5: Great. Good luck in what's going to be a very eventful 2026.

Speaker #6: Hi. Good afternoon. I wanted to follow up on Eric's question about growth. Next year, but thinking overall about the company, the four to eight percent growth that you've guided to, I guess, what gives you confidence in that outlook?
Cristina Fernández: Hi, good afternoon. I wanted to follow up on Eric's question about growth next year, but thinking overall about the company, the 4% to 8% growth that you guided to, I guess, what gives you confidence in that outlook? I mean, you talked earlier about a stable consumer, but it's a pretty big acceleration from the 1% growth in 2025. What's underpinning that, and how do you expect Betterware to grow versus JAFRA in 2026?
Cristina Fernández: Hi, good afternoon. I wanted to follow up on Eric's question about growth next year, but thinking overall about the company, the 4% to 8% growth that you guided to, I guess, what gives you confidence in that outlook?

Speaker #6: I mean, you talked earlier about a stable consumer. But it is a pretty big acceleration from the 1% growth in 2025. So what's underpinning that, and how do you expect Betterware to grow versus Jafra in 2026?
Speaker #2: Yeah. Thank you, Christina, and hi. This is Andres again. So yeah, we as you mentioned the first thing that we expect is a more stable consumption.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: Yeah. Thank you, Cristina, and hi, this is Andrés again. Yeah, we, as you mentioned, the first thing that we expect is a more stable consumption. What happened last year is that last year we had, you know, declining figures in consumption and a very sluggish consumption figures in the economy, which affected all our businesses in Mexico. Specifically, it affected Betterware more because they are discretionary products. In 2026, we do expect a more stable consumption. We are actually seeing some positive figures in the first months, in January and beginning of February, we're starting to see general better consumption trends in the country.
Andres Campos: Yeah. Thank you, Cristina, and hi, this is Andrés again. Yeah, we, as you mentioned, the first thing that we expect is a more stable consumption. What happened last year is that last year we had, you know, declining figures in consumption and a very sluggish consumption figures in the economy, which affected all our businesses in Mexico. Specifically, it affected Betterware more because they are discretionary products. In 2026, we do expect a more stable consumption. We are actually seeing some positive figures in the first months, in January and beginning of February, we're starting to see general better consumption trends in the country.
Speaker #2: What happened last year is that last year, we had declining figures in consumption, and very sluggish consumption figures in the economy, which affected both our businesses in Mexico.
Speaker #2: And specifically, it affected Betterware more because they are discretionary products. In 2026, we do expect more stable consumption. We are actually seeing some positive figures in the first months, in January.
Speaker #2: And beginning of February, we're starting to see generally better consumption trends in the country. And we think that with this, it is the main factor that we can use to get back to the level of growth we had before, more in the 4% to 8% range.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: We think that with this, we can. Is the main factor that we can use to get back to the level of growth we had before, more in the 4% to 8% range. It's not only about the external factor of consumption being steady, it's also about many internal strategies that we have in place to regain that growth. For us, the 1.2% that we had last year is abnormally low growth. We plan to come back to more regular levels of growth that we have seen in the past of 4% to 8% with all the strategies we have to implement. First of all, obviously, is Mexico, both Betterware and JAFRA.
Andres Campos: We think that with this, we can. Is the main factor that we can use to get back to the level of growth we had before, more in the 4% to 8% range. It's not only about the external factor of consumption being steady, it's also about many internal strategies that we have in place to regain that growth.

We plan to come back to more regular levels of growth that we have seen in the past of 4% to 8% with all the strategies we have to implement. First of all, obviously, is Mexico, both Betterware and JAFRA.
Speaker #2: Now, it's not only about the external factory of consumption being steady. It's also about many internal strategies that we have in place to regain that growth.
Speaker #2: For us, the 1.2% that we had last year is abnormally low growth. And we plan to come back to more regular levels of growth that we have seen in the past of 4% to 8%, with all the strategies we have to implement.
Speaker #2: First of all, obviously, is Mexico. Both Betterware and Jafra. We laid out in the presentation some of the key initiatives that we're having out with, I would say, very strong innovation in both brands.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: we laid out in the presentation some of the key initiatives that we're having out with, I would say, very strong innovation in both brands. On the other hand, we're laying out a lot of technology in JAFRA that we have not done before. We're also attacking different initiatives in both brands that we are confident that together with a stable consumption can take us to those levels that we have seen in the past for our brands. Now, that's on the Mexico side. Now, if you add to that, the fact that in Jafra US we have been able to not only stabilize the company but start to tilt the curve upwards in terms of revenue.

Speaker #1: Past for our for our brands . So now that's on the Mexico side . Now if you add to that , the fact that Ninja us , we have been able to not only stabilize the company , but start to tilt the curve upwards in terms of revenue And then you add the entrance into Colombia and Ecuador and the weight that that will start having .
Andrés Campos Chevallier: You add the entrance into Colombia and Ecuador and the weight that that will start having. I mean, it's not the main part. The main part is Mexico, but it will start adding additional growth points to the group. Hope I was clear on the buildup of that growth.
Andres Campos: You add the entrance into Colombia and Ecuador and the weight that that will start having. I mean, it's not the main part. The main part is Mexico, but it will start adding additional growth points to the group. Hope I was clear on the buildup of that growth.
Speaker #1: I think it's I mean , it's not the main part . The main part is Mexico , but it will start adding . Additional growth points to , to the group .
Speaker #1: So, hope I was clear on the build-up of that growth.
Speaker #2: That's helpful . Thanks , Andres . And then I had an also on on Jafra you mentioned on your comments and on the , on the press release that the beauty market has been having some challenges .
Cristina Fernández: That's helpful. Thanks, Andrés. Also on JAFRA, you mentioned in your comments and on the press release that the beauty market has been having some challenges. Can you talk about what those are or how is JAFRA, you know, positioned, whether it's by product category, to overcome those challenges?
Cristina Fernández: That's helpful. Thanks, Andrés. Also on JAFRA, you mentioned in your comments and on the press release that the beauty market has been having some challenges. Can you talk about what those are or how is JAFRA, you know, positioned, whether it's by product category, to overcome those challenges?
Speaker #2: Can you talk about what those are, or how Jafra is positioned—whether it's by product category—to overcome those challenges?
Speaker #1: And I think we talked about some challenges in consumption in general in Mexico , not specifically challenges in the beauty market . We think that the beauty market is still has , you know , if you compare beauty category versus household , home goods category in Betterware , the beauty category still has more tailwinds .
Andrés Campos Chevallier: I think we talked about some challenges in consumption in general in Mexico, not specifically, challenges in the beauty market. We think that the beauty market is still, as you know, if you compare beauty category versus home goods category in Betterware, the beauty category still have more tailwinds. I mean, both suffered some of the consumption effects, the general consumption effects of Mexico. We think that the beauty category has more tailwinds, within that context. We think it's still going to be a very a very resilient and growing category, and we are optimistic about the the evolution of the of the category as a whole.
Andres Campos: I think we talked about some challenges in consumption in general in Mexico, not specifically, challenges in the beauty market.

We think it's still going to be a very a very resilient and growing category, and we are optimistic about the the evolution of the of the category as a whole.
Speaker #1: I mean , both suffered some of the consumption effects . The general consumption effects of Mexico , but but we think that the beauty category has more tailwinds within that context .
Speaker #1: So so we think it's still going to be a very a very resilient and growing category . And we are optimistic about the the evolution of the of the category as a whole
Speaker #2: And the last question I had was on the EBITDA guidance , the 19% . Any color by segment , you can give , I mean , it's sort of flattish , right ?
Cristina Fernández: The last question I had was on the EBITDA guidance, the 19%. Any color by segment you can give? I mean, it's sort of flattish, right? Slightly up versus 2025. Any of the, I guess, businesses expected to have any material variance versus 2025? Thanks.

Speaker #2: Slightly up versus 2025, but are any of the businesses expected to have any material variance versus 2025? Thanks.
Andrés Campos Chevallier: I think in general, we see the balance there in that 19 or above 19 margin. We do think definitely that we do believe that that's, you know, our floor and baseline margin that we can deliver. It all comes... There's many different factors going into that margin, including the investment outside and including these investments, extraordinary investments in the Tupperware operation and different factors. We, you know, we prefer to leave it as a group, from 19 up, as EBITDA margin.
Speaker #1: So I think in general , the the the we see the balance there in that 19 or above 19 . Margin . We do think definitely that we do believe that that's , you know , our floor and baseline margin that we can deliver .

Speaker #1: But it all comes . There's there's many different factors going into that margin , including the investment outside and including is investments , extraordinary investments in the in the Tupperware operation and and different factors .
