Risk or Challenges
Economic Uncertainty: The company highlighted the challenging economic conditions in Q1 2025, which required agility and resilience to navigate. This indicates ongoing risks related to economic uncertainties that could impact performance.
Pricing Strategies: Aggressive pricing strategies were implemented to boost sales and competitiveness, but these have led to reduced gross margins in some segments, such as Betterware Mexico and Jafra Mexico. This poses a risk to profitability if not managed carefully.
Supply Chain Management: While supply chain efficiencies were mentioned as a positive, any disruptions or inefficiencies in the future could adversely impact operations and profitability.
Debt Leverage: The net debt-to-EBITDA ratio remains higher than the previous year, indicating financial leverage risks. Although it has improved from Q1 2025, it still poses a challenge to financial stability.
Market Entry Risks: The company is assessing entry into the Colombian market for 2026. Geographic expansion carries inherent risks, including market acceptance, regulatory challenges, and operational execution.
Jafra US Performance: Jafra US experienced an 8.9% year-on-year revenue decline, although there was a quarter-on-quarter rebound. The ongoing losses and the need to reach breakeven by year-end highlight operational and market challenges in the U.S. segment.

Key Q&A
Q:How much of the sequential improvement in the quarter is attributed to a better macro and consumer environment versus company-specific initiatives?
A:The slight stabilization or rebound in consumption in the second quarter helped, but the company attributes more of the improvement to internal strategies. These include merchandising, pricing, promotion, and product techniques to make the portfolio more accessible and improve commercial strategies.
Q:What are the key drivers to achieve the 6% to 9% revenue and EBITDA growth guidance for the year?
A:The company expects stability in the macroeconomic environment and consumption trends. Growth in associates in Betterware Mexico, Jafra Mexico, and Jafra US in Q2 is a positive sign. However, uncertainty in the macro environment remains a risk.
Q:What areas are there more efficiencies to return to a 23% to 24% EBITDA margin in the Betterware segment?
A:The company expects improvement in gross margin due to a strong peso against the dollar, lower freight costs, and internal strategies to rely less on promotional activities. Additionally, continuous expense reduction and efficiency improvements are expected to drive EBITDA margin up.
Q:What opportunities are being seen in the Chinese market given shifts in U.S. production?
A:The company is working more closely with suppliers and factories to improve product design and efficiency. While no major changes are seen, these efforts are helping to improve costs and innovation capabilities.
Q:How should inventory opportunities and productivity be viewed for the rest of the year and into 2026?
A:The company has made progress in reducing inventory, with a decrease of about MXN 200 million since the start of the year. The strategy includes pushing existing inventory and reducing purchases to return to normal inventory levels.
Q:How should the 30th anniversary celebration of the Betterware catalog be viewed as a growth driver?
A:The celebration reinforces trust and certainty with the sales force, associates, and distributors. While the main growth drivers are pricing, product, and incentive strategies, the anniversary builds confidence in the company's future and supports growth.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing a direct answer or lacked clarity when discussing the opportunities in the Chinese market. They mentioned working with suppliers and factories but did not provide specific details or quantify the impact of these efforts.
