Anthony Hatoum, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The term “Companies Act” refers to the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) of the British Virgin Islands.

The term “Mexican peso” and the symbol “Ps.” refer to the legal currency of Mexico, and the term “U.S. dollar” and the symbol “US$” refer to the legal currency of the United States.

This annual report contains translations of certain Mexican peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Mexican peso amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated as of the dates mentioned herein or at any other rate. Unless otherwise indicated, we have translated Mexican peso amounts into U.S. dollars at the rate of Ps.17.9667 per US$1.00, the exchange rate to pay foreign currency denominated obligations due on December 31, 2025 published by the Mexican Central Bank in the Mexican Federal Official Gazette (Diario Oficial de la Federación, or the “Official Gazette”). In addition, we have translated the U.S. dollar amounts outstanding on the Promissory Notes and the Convertible Notes (described under Item 5B - Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Promissory Notes and Convertible Notes) as of December 31, 2024 into Mexican pesos at the rate of Ps.20.2683 per US$1.00 (the exchange rate to pay foreign currency denominated obligations due on December 31, 2024, published by the Mexican Central Bank in the Official Gazette) and as of December 31, 2023 at the rate of Ps.16.89 per US$1.00 (the exchange rate to pay foreign currency denominated obligations due on December 31, 2023 published by the Mexican Central Bank in the Official Gazette).

The financial information presented herein has been derived from our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, together with the notes thereto, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and included elsewhere in this annual report.

Rounding Adjustments

We have made rounding adjustments to certain numbers presented in this annual report. As a result, numerical figures presented as totals may not always be the exact arithmetic results of their components. Percentage figures included in this annual report have not, in all cases, been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this annual report may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, together with the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this annual report.

Market and Industry Data

This annual report contains data related to economic conditions in the market in which we operate. The information contained in this annual report concerning economic conditions is based on publicly available information from third-party sources that we believe to be reliable. Market data and certain industry forecast data used in this annual report were derived from our management’s knowledge and our experience in the industry, internal reports and studies, where appropriate, as well as estimates, market research, publicly available information and industry publications. We obtained the information included in this annual report relating to the industry in which we operate, as well as the estimates concerning market shares, through internal research, public information and publications on the industry prepared by official public sources, such as the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de México).

Industry publications, governmental publications, and other market sources, including those referred to above, generally state that the information they include has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. We have no reason to believe any of this information or these reports are inaccurate in any material respect and believe and act as if they are reliable. We have not independently verified it and they are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under “Item 3. Key Information–D. Risk Factors.” Estimates of market and industry data are based on statistical models, key assumptions and limited data sampling, and actual market and industry data may differ significantly from estimated industry data. In addition, the data that we compile internally, and our estimates have not been verified by an independent source. Information derived from management’s knowledge and our experience is presented on a reasonable, good faith basis. Except as disclosed in this annual report, none of the publications, reports or other published industry sources referred to in this annual report were commissioned by us or prepared at our request. Except as disclosed in this annual report, we have not sought or obtained the consent of any of these sources to include such market data in this annual report.

Trademarks and Trade Names

We own or have rights to trademarks, service marks and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business, including our corporate name, logos, and website names. Other trademarks, service marks and trade names appearing in this annual report are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this annual report are listed without the ® and TM symbols, but we will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to our trademarks, service marks and trade names.

 

Other Terms

 

In this annual report, we present a key operating metric, which we believe serve as measures of our operations.

 

We measure “Same Store Sales” using revenue from sales of merchandise from stores that were operational for at least the full preceding 12 months for the periods under consideration. When calculating this measure, we exclude stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the periods under consideration.

 

We measure Same Store Sales growth by comparing the Same Store Sales of stores that were open during the measurement period. For example, if a store began operations on September 1, 2025, it would not be included in Same Store Sales growth for the years ending December 31, 2025 or 2026. However, such store would be included in Same Store Sales growth for the year ending December 31, 2027. Our calculation of Same Store Sales may differ from Same Store Sales or similar metrics reported by other retailers.

 

Our management believes that Same Stores Sales is a relevant measure of the sales performance of a portfolio of stores that have been operating during the period under consideration. It enables us to assess how our existing stores’ sales over a comparable period are performing year-over-year, excluding the impact of new store openings or closures, allowing us to measure the growth performance attributable to the existing store base.

failure to maintain the security of our business, customer, employee or vendor information or to comply with privacy laws;
the impact of changes in or noncompliance with laws and governmental regulations and requirements (including, but not limited to, those relating to environmental compliance, product and food safety or labeling, information security and privacy, labor and employment, employee wages, and those governing the sale of products, as well as tax laws, the interpretation of existing tax laws, or our failure to sustain our reporting positions, in each case negatively affecting our tax rate) and developments in or outcomes of private actions, class actions, multi-district litigation, arbitrations, derivative actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation;
incurrence of material uninsured losses, excessive insurance costs or accident costs;
deterioration in market conditions, including market disruptions, limited liquidity and interest rate fluctuations, or changes in our credit profile;

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Economic factors may reduce our customers’ spending, impair our ability to execute our strategies and initiatives, and increase our costs and expenses, which could result in materially decreased sales or profitability.

Many of our customers have fixed or low incomes and limited discretionary spending resources. Any factor that could adversely affect their disposable income could impact potential customers’ ability to shop in our stores as well as decrease their spending or cause them to shift their spending to our lower price and lower margin product choices, which could result in materially lower sales and/or profitability. Factors that could reduce our customers’ disposable income include but are not limited to unemployment or underemployment or decline in real wages;

2


 

inflation; pandemics; higher fuel, energy, healthcare and housing costs, interest rates and tax rates; lack of available credit; and decreases in, or elimination of, government subsidies such as assistance programs.

Many of the economic factors listed above, as well as commodity rates; transportation; energy costs, including as a result of global armed conflicts; lease and insurance costs; wage rates; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; measures that create barriers to or increase the costs of international trade (including increased import duties or tariffs); changes in applicable laws and regulations; reduction in the level of remittances and other economic factors, also could impair our ability to successfully execute our strategies and initiatives, as well as increase our cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses (including real estate costs), and may have other adverse consequences that we are unable to fully anticipate or control, all of which may materially decrease our sales or profitability.

Our plans depend significantly on strategies and initiatives designed to increase sales and profitability and improve the efficiencies, costs and effectiveness of our operations, and failure to achieve or sustain these plans could materially affect our results of operations.

We have short-term and long-term strategies and initiatives, which are designed to continue to improve our results of operations and financial condition. These include initiatives such as those relating to merchandising, real estate and new store development, private label product development, inventory management, supply chain, store operations, expense reduction, and technology. The effectiveness of these initiatives is inherently uncertain, even when tested successfully, and is dependent on consistency of training and execution, workforce stability, ease of execution and scalability, and the absence of offsetting factors that can influence results adversely. The number of our stores and distribution centers and our decentralized field management also contribute to the challenging nature of these factors. Other risk factors described herein also could negatively affect general implementation. Failure to achieve successful or cost-effective implementation of our initiatives could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The success of our merchandising initiatives depends in part on our ability to predict the products that our customers will demand and to identify and timely respond to evolving trends in consumer preferences and demographic shifts in our markets. If we are unable to select and timely purchase or develop products that are attractive to customers and at costs that allow us to sell them at an acceptable profit, or to effectively market such products, it could result in materially decreased sales and profitability.

We have experienced rapid growth in the past and there can be no assurance that the growth rate of our business will continue at such levels in the future.

We have experienced rapid growth as a business since our inception in 2005. Our growth has been largely focused in 17 states across the center of Mexico which are generally more densely populated and developed than other regions in Mexico. Expansion into new regions involves risks and uncertainties related to our ability to replicate our business model, efficiently expand our logistics capabilities and achieve profitability. Although we expect to continue to grow our store network, including by expanding into new regions, we cannot assure that we will be able to achieve a similar growth rate in store openings, that stores in untested regions will be equally profitable or that we will be able to replicate our distribution network model in new regions.

Our growth depends on our ability to successfully lease, obtain permits for and adapt real estate spaces for stores and distribution centers.

Our expansion depends, in part, on our ability to identify retail space and distribution center space that is attractive in terms of location, size and the contractual conditions of the lease, as well as on our ability to obtain the necessary permits for such spaces on a timely basis. In order to be suitable, retail locations must comply with certain characteristics in terms of size and configuration for our business model, which might not be widely available in the market at any given time. In addition, the market for commercial property and industrial property in large metropolitan areas in Mexico is increasingly competitive and we believe that competition for such properties is likely to continue increasing. If we fail to identify and secure such spaces on a timely basis for any reason, including as a result of competition from other companies seeking similar locations or our inability to obtain the necessary permits, our anticipated growth may be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will successfully

3


 

identify and lease suitable properties, lease such properties on acceptable terms on a timely basis or obtain the necessary permits to begin operating new stores.

The performance and operation of our business are subject to risks associated with our leased property portfolio.

We lease substantially all the retail locations for our retail stores which are generally subject to periodic rent review, lease expiry and renegotiation. As a result, we are susceptible to changes in the property rental market, such as increases in market rents. Our stores are also subject to various local laws and regulatory requirements.

New stores and stores with renewed lease terms may not produce anticipated levels of revenue while increasing our costs, which would increase our expenses as a percentage of sales and adversely affect our competitive position and profitability. There can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to renew our store lease agreements on acceptable terms or at all as they expire. In addition, we must comply on an ongoing basis with the various applicable local laws and regulatory requirements. If we are unable to renew lease agreements for existing store locations as they expire or lease other favorable locations on acceptable terms, or if our existing rental agreements are terminated or revised to our detriment for any reason, or if we fail to comply with applicable local laws and regulatory requirements, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our financial results are subject to risks relating to competition and narrow profit margins in the food retail industry, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The retail food industry in Mexico is highly fragmented and increasingly competitive and our market and strategy are generally characterized by narrow profit margins. Market participants in our industry generally compete with respect to price, customers, store location, merchandise quality, product assortment and presentation, service offerings, in-stock consistency, customer service, ease of shopping experience, promotional activity, employees, and market share. We compete with hard discount stores such as Bodega Aurrera Express, Tiendas Neto and Tiendas BARA, discount formats of large retailers such as Bodega Aurrera, Walmart-Express, Súper Ché, Soriana Mercado, among others, and also with other retailers, including international, national, regional and local supermarket chains, independent grocery stores, specialty food stores, convenience stores, open-air markets, bodegas, small grocery stores, general merchandisers and discount retailers. We also expect to see increased competition from government-run stores (Tiendas del Bienestar), whose product offering is being expanded by the current administration, to sell more consumer staples and necessities at low prices. In particular, we compete against informal vendors which represent a significant part of the Mexican economy. Informal vendors also have different formats, from small street side stands to larger, well stocked neighborhood shops or specialty stands in markets, all of which target a customer segment similar to ours. Given the informal nature of their operations, informal vendors are able to offer substantial cost savings to customers.

Our ability to compete depends on our ability to maintain our existing stores and open new stores in advantageous locations, as well as to offer the most competitive prices. To maintain competitive prices, we may be required to lower them, either temporarily or permanently, and may have limited ability to increase them in response to increased costs, resulting in lower margins and reduced profitability. Some of our competitors have greater financial, distribution, marketing and other resources, and may be able to secure better arrangements with suppliers than us.

Competition is intense, and is expected to continue to be so as we expand within Mexico and start competing against regional players. Some of our competitors may seek to reduce their store locations while others enter or increase their presence in our geographic and product markets (including through the expansion of the availability of delivery services) and expand the availability of mobile, web-based and other digital technologies, to facilitate a more convenient and competitive online and in-store shopping experience. If our competitors or other discount food retailers were to enter our industry in a significant way, including through alliances or other business combinations, it could significantly alter the competitive dynamics of the retail marketplace and result in competitors with greatly improved competitive positions, which could materially affect our financial performance. Our ability to effectively compete will depend substantially on our continued ability to develop and execute compelling and cost-effective strategies and initiatives. If we fail to anticipate or respond effectively to competitive pressures and industry changes, it could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to attract, develop and retain qualified employees while controlling labor costs, as well as other labor issues, could adversely affect our financial performance.

Our future growth and performance, positive customer experience and legal and regulatory compliance depends on our ability to attract, develop, retain and motivate qualified employees while operating in an industry challenged by historically high rates of employee turnover. Our ability to meet our labor needs, while controlling our labor costs, is subject to many external factors, including competition for and availability of qualified personnel, unemployment levels, wage rates (including recent and expected future increases in federal, state and/or local minimum wage rates), health and other insurance costs, changes in employment and labor laws or other workplace regulations (including those relating to employee benefit programs such as health insurance and paid leave programs or the labor law reform in Mexico aimed at gradually reducing the maximum working hours per week by 2030), employee activism, and our reputation and relevance within the labor market. If we are unable to attract, develop and retain adequate numbers of qualified employees, our operations, customer service levels, legal and regulatory compliance, and support functions could suffer. In addition, to the extent a significant portion of our employee base unionizes, or attempts to unionize, our labor and other related costs could increase. Our ability to pass along labor and other related costs to our customers is constrained by our everyday low-price model, and we may not be able to offset such increased costs elsewhere in our business.

Our success depends on our executive officers, our regional management and other key personnel. If we lose key personnel or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our business may be harmed.

Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of our executive officers, and other key personnel. Importantly, given our decentralized management structure, we depend significantly on our regional management teams. The unexpected loss of the services of any of such persons could adversely affect our operations. There can be no assurance that our executive succession planning, retention or hiring efforts will be successful. Competition for skilled and experienced management personnel is intense, and a failure to attract and retain new qualified personnel could adversely affect our operations.

Our private labels may not be successful in improving our gross profit and may increase certain of the risks we face.

Our business has expanded its own range of private label items, which included 113 different private label brands and over 525 stock keeping units (“SKUs”) as of December 31, 2025, representing 58.2% of our sales for 2025. These private labels are important for future growth prospects as private label items offer an important source of differentiation against our competitors and also generally offer more attractive margins. The sale and expansion of these offerings also subjects us to or increases certain risks, such as: product liability claims and product recalls; disruptions in raw material and finished product supply and distribution chains; inability to successfully protect our proprietary rights; claims related to trademarks and proprietary rights of third parties; supplier labor and human rights issues, and other risks generally encountered by entities that source, sell and market exclusive branded offerings for retail. Further, most of our private label items are manufactured in Mexico, and while our policies set out standards for ethical business practices, it does not control these manufacturers or their labor or other business practices. Maintaining broad market acceptance of our private label items depends on many factors, including pricing, costs, quality and customer perception, and we may not achieve or maintain expected sales for our private label items.

Failure to appropriately address these risks could materially and adversely affect our private label initiatives, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

Expansion into new product categories may carry significant risks and impact our operational results.

Our expansion into new product categories, including perishables, may present significant risks, potentially leading to adverse effects on our operational results. Introducing new products or categories requires substantial investment in procurement, storage, distribution, and marketing, as well as regulatory compliance and additional market competition. Specifically, perishables pose unique challenges due to their limited shelf life, needing rapid turnover and high-quality supply chain management to prevent loss. In addition, there is also the inherent risk that these new products or categories may not resonate with our customers, leading to underwhelming sales, excess

5


 

inventory, and reduced margins. Failure to successfully anticipate consumer preference or efficiently manage these expanded offerings could result in unsold inventory, and financial losses, all of which could negatively impact our profitability and operating results.

Risks associated with or faced by our suppliers could adversely affect our financial performance.

We source our merchandise and private label products from a wide variety of primarily domestic suppliers. Our ability to offer a wide variety of products to our customers depends on our ability to obtain adequate products and supplies from manufacturers and other suppliers. Our suppliers’ ability to timely manufacture and deliver the products we purchase may be subject to changes to the prices and flow of goods and ingredients and most often are for reasons beyond our control, such as political or civil unrest, acts of war, currency fluctuations, disruptions in maritime lanes, port labor disputes, economic conditions and instability in countries in which foreign suppliers are located, the financial instability of suppliers, failure to meet our terms and conditions or our standards, issues with our suppliers’ labor practices or labor problems they may experience (such as strikes, stoppages or slowdowns, which could also increase labor costs during and following the disruption), the availability and cost of raw materials, pandemic outbreaks, merchandise quality or safety issues, transport availability and cost, increases in wage rates and taxes, transport security, inflation, and other factors relating to suppliers and the countries in which they are located or from which they import. Such changes could adversely affect our operations and profitability.

Our ability to maintain the accelerated growth rate we have experienced is heavily dependent, among other factors, on the ability of our suppliers to increase their capacity so they are able to fulfill our purchase orders at the same pace we expand and open new stores. Our suppliers may need to increase their capital expenditures and incur significant costs to increase such capacity. To the extent our suppliers are not able to increase their production and fulfillment capacity at the same rate we have grown, our ability to continue expanding rapidly may be impaired and as a result our margins and results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, if a supplier fails to deliver on its commitments, we could experience merchandise sellouts that could lead to lost sales and reputational harm. Further, failure of suppliers to meet our compliance protocols could prolong our procurement lead time, resulting in lost sales and adverse margin impact.

In the course of our operations, divergences and disputes may arise with our suppliers, including in relation to the terms of service and payment, which may result in an interruption or termination of our relationship with one or more suppliers, due to our election or as a result of actions by such supplier. Any such interruption or termination of a relationship could adversely affect our operations until such time as we replace such supplier. Any interruption or termination that has not been previously anticipated, especially if it results in interruption of our services or delivery of merchandise, could result in lost sales and adverse margin impact during any period in which such interruption is ongoing and result in reputational harm.

In the year ended December 31, 2025, we purchased products from 327 suppliers, with our largest supplier accounting for 3.6% of our total purchases, and the five largest suppliers accounting for 16.5% of our total purchases. Although we have developed a broad network of suppliers, some of our top selling products are only supplied by a single supplier or manufacturer. If any such single supply source becomes unavailable for any reason, replacing such supplier may be costly and adversely affect our ability to sell a given product until an adequate replacement is found. This risk is especially pronounced for our private label products where a supplier’s failure could adversely affect the availability of a specific product across our entire store network. While we generally believe substitute suppliers are available, until such a replacement is found and such supplier passes our quality control assessments, we could face a temporary reduction in store inventory levels and/or a reduction in the quality of our merchandise. These factors could materially decrease our sales, reduce our margins and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our trademarks and trade names may be misappropriated or challenged by others.

We own the material trademark and trade name rights used in connection with our brands, private labels and the marketing and sale of our products. We believe our brand names and related intellectual property are important to our continued success. We attempt to protect our trademarks and trade names by exercising our rights under applicable trademark and copyright laws. Any infringement of our intellectual property rights would likely result in a commitment of our time and resources to protect these rights through litigation or otherwise, which could

6


 

be expensive and time-consuming. If we were to fail to protect our intellectual property rights for any reason, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are subject and may continue to be subject to trademark disputes relating to the products that we sell and if we were to fail to protect our intellectual property rights for any reason, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We maintain a negative working capital position.

As is customary for businesses with high inventory turnover and strict control over working capital, we consistently maintain a negative working capital position. Negative working capital is an important driver in our cash flow from operating activities and is used to finance our store expansion. Our negative working capital and increases in our negative working capital has been and is expected to continue to be a major source of capital resources.

If our revenues decrease materially, or key suppliers change payment terms, we may not have enough available cash to meet our obligations as they become due or fund our expansion. Further, we may not be able to raise additional funds on satisfactory terms, if at all, through equity or debt financings to meet our obligations or continue funding our expansion. In such an event, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our business development or expansion efforts. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected as a result.

As a result of selling food products, we face the risk of product liability claims and adverse publicity.

The packaging, marketing, distribution and sale of food products purchased from others, as well as the production of foods under our private label brand names, entail an inherent risk of contamination or deterioration, which could potentially lead to product liability, product recall and resultant adverse liability and publicity. These products may contain contaminants that could, in certain cases, cause illness, injury or death to consumers. Our suppliers are legally responsible for any contamination or damage to goods during the production phase. However, we become legally responsible for any such defects from the moment we accept the goods from our suppliers. In many instances, it is difficult to determine during what phase contamination or damage occurred. There can be no assurance that any claims will not be asserted against us in the future or that we will not be forced to undertake significant product recalls. Moreover, we do not have product liability insurance and do not have contractual indemnification provisions in all cases. If a material product liability claim were successful, contractual indemnifications may not be adequate to cover all liabilities we may incur. If we do not have adequate contractual indemnification available product liability claims relating to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our ability to successfully market our products and on our financial condition and operating results.

Even if a product liability claim is not successful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any alleged contamination or deterioration of our private label products could have a material adverse effect on our brand, image and profitability of these products.

Inventory shrinkage may negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Although historically we have not experienced significant inventory shrinkage, inventory shrinkage is an unavoidable cost of doing business. Higher rates of inventory shrinkage or increased security or other costs to combat inventory theft could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to contain or reduce inventory shrinkage.

Our return policy may negatively affect our profitability and financial condition.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction includes a no-questions-asked no-receipt needed money-back return policy, which, while enhancing consumer confidence and loyalty, also exposes us to certain financial risks. This policy can lead to a higher volume of returned merchandise compared to competitors with more restrictive return policies. Handling returns involves additional logistics, restocking, and customer service costs, and can result in the inability to resell returned products at full price, particularly if they are perishable, used, or no longer in

7


 

salable condition. High return rates can lead to increased waste, affect inventory management, and result in financial losses, impacting our margins and overall profitability. The financial impact could include additional expenses related to the processing and disposition of returns, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our cash flows from operations, profitability and financial condition may be negatively affected if we are not successful in managing our inventory balances.

Our inventory balance represented 13.8% and 13.3% of our total assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Efficient inventory management is a key component of our business success and profitability. We must maintain sufficient inventory levels and an appropriate product mix to meet our customers’ demands without allowing those levels to increase such that the costs to store and hold the goods unduly impacts our financial results or increases the risk of inventory shrinkage. If we do not accurately predict customer trends, spending levels, or price sensitivity, we may have to take unanticipated markdowns to dispose of the excess inventory, which also can adversely affect our financial results. We continue to focus on ways to reduce these risks, but we cannot make assurances that we will be successful in our inventory management. If we are not successful in managing our inventory balances, our cash flows from operations and financial condition may be negatively affected.

A significant disruption to our distribution network, the capacity of our distribution centers or the timely receipt of inventory could adversely affect sales or increase our transportation costs, which would decrease our profitability.

We rely on our distribution and transportation network to provide goods to our stores timely and cost-effectively. We and our vendors primarily rely on trucks to move goods from vendor locations to our distribution centers and our stores. Any disruption, unanticipated or unusual expense or operational failure related to this process (e.g., delivery delays, including due to supply chain disruptions or increases in transportation costs (such as those we have experienced in the past and may continue to experience), including increased fuel costs, import freight costs, a decrease in transportation capacity; or labor shortages) could negatively impact sales and profits. Labor shortages or work stoppages in the transportation industry or disruptions to the national and international transportation infrastructure, including as a result of war, geopolitical conflicts, trade restrictions, severe weather events, natural disasters or other macroeconomic conditions, could also increase our costs or otherwise negatively affect our business.

As of December 31, 2025, all of our 20 distribution centers were leased by us, and we are analyzing the expansion of our distribution capabilities in line with our store openings. Delays in opening new facilities as they become necessary, termination of the leases of our distribution centers, renewing leases on less advantageous terms for existing facilities, or our failure to integrate new facilities, could adversely affect our financial performance by slowing store growth or by increasing transportation and product costs. In addition, distribution-related construction or expansion projects entail risks that could cause delays and cost overruns, such as: shortages of materials or skilled labor; work stoppages; unforeseen construction, scheduling, engineering, environmental or geological problems; weather interference; fires or other casualty losses; and unanticipated cost increases. For these reasons, the completion date and ultimate cost of these projects could differ significantly from initial expectations, and we cannot guarantee that any project will be completed on time or within established budgets.

Material damage or interruptions to our information systems as a result of external factors, staffing shortages or challenges in maintaining or updating our existing technology or developing or implementing new technology could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We depend on a variety of information technology systems, including systems owned and managed by third-party vendors, for the efficient functioning of our business, including, without limitation, transaction processing and the management of our employees, facilities, logistics, inventories, stores and customer-facing digital applications and operations. Our technology initiatives may not deliver desired results or may do so on a delayed schedule. Additionally, such systems are subject to damage or interruption from power surges and outages, facility damage, physical theft, computer and telecommunications failures, inadequate or ineffective redundancy, malicious code (including malware, ransomware, or similar), successful attacks (e.g., account compromise; phishing; denial of service; and application, network or system vulnerability exploitation), software upgrade failures or code defects, natural disasters and human error. Design defects, damage to, or interruption to these systems may require a

8


 

significant investment to repair or replace, disrupt our operations, result in the loss or corruption of critical data, and harm our reputation, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business or results of operations. Moreover, developing or implementing new technologies may result in risks associated with unfamiliar or untested technology, such as loss or corruption of critical data, logistics failures among other undesired results.

Failure to maintain the security of our business, customer, employee or vendor information or to comply with privacy laws could expose us to litigation, government enforcement actions and costly response measures, and could materially harm our reputation and affect our business and financial performance.

In connection with sales, we transmit confidential credit and debit card information which is encrypted using point-to-point encryption. We also have access to, collect or maintain certain private or confidential information regarding our customers, employees and their dependents, and vendors, as well as our business. Some of this information is stored electronically, some of which may leverage third-party service providers. Additionally, we may share information with select vendors that assist us in conducting our business. While we have implemented procedures and technology intended to protect such information and require appropriate controls of our vendors, external attackers could compromise such controls and result in unauthorized disclosure of such information, as attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, may include attacks on our third-party business partners, and do not always or immediately produce detectable indicators of compromise. Moreover, inadvertent or malicious internal personnel actions could result in a defeat of security measures and a compromise of our or our third-party vendors’ information systems. Like other retailers, we and our vendors have experienced threats to, and infrequent immaterial incidents involving, data and systems, including by perpetrators of attempted random or targeted malicious attacks; computer malware, ransomware, bots, or other destructive or disruptive software; and attempts to misappropriate our information and cause system failures and disruptions. If attackers obtain customer, employee or vendor passwords through unrelated third-party breaches, and if impacted customers, employees, or vendors do not employ good online security practices (e.g., use the same password across different sites), these passwords could be used to gain access to their information or accounts with us in certain situations.

A significant security breach of any kind experienced by us or one of our vendors, which could be undetected for a period of time, or a significant failure by us or one of our vendors to comply with applicable privacy and information security laws, regulations and standards could expose us to risks of data loss, litigation, government enforcement actions, fines or penalties, credit card brand assessments, negative publicity and reputational harm, business disruption and costly response measures (e.g., providing notification to, and credit monitoring services for, affected individuals, as well as further upgrades to our security measures) which may not be covered by or may exceed the coverage limits of our insurance policies, and could materially disrupt our operations. Any resulting negative publicity could significantly harm our reputation which could cause us to lose market share and could materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Natural disasters and unusual weather conditions (whether or not caused by climate change), pandemic outbreaks or other health crises, political or civil unrest, acts of violence or terrorism, and disruptive global political events could disrupt business and result in lower sales and otherwise adversely affect our financial performance.

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, unusual weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks or other health crises, political or civil unrest, acts of violence or terrorism, looting (including within our stores, distribution centers or other Company property), or disruptive global political events or similar disruptions could adversely affect our reputation, business and financial performance. If any of these events result in the closure, or a limitation on operating hours, of one or more of our distribution centers, a significant number of stores, our sourcing offices, our corporate headquarters or data center or impact one or more of our key suppliers, our operations and financial performance could be materially and adversely affected through an inability or reduced ability to make deliveries, process payroll or provide other support functions to our stores and through lost sales. In the past, hurricanes impacting the coast of the state of Guerrero caused extensive damage and temporary store closures and a reassessment of our growth plan in that region.

These events also could affect consumer shopping patterns or prevent customers from reaching our stores, which could lead to lost sales and higher markdowns, or result in increases in fuel or other energy prices, fuel shortage(s), new store or distribution center opening delays, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a

9


 

market, the temporary or long-term disruption of product availability in our stores, the temporary or long-term inability to obtain or access technology needed to effectively run our business, disruption of our utility services or information systems, and damage to our reputation. These events may also increase the costs of insurance if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage by us or in the market more generally.

Our current insurance program may expose us to unexpected costs and negatively affect our financial performance.

Our insurance coverage reflects deductibles, self-insured retentions, limits of liability and similar provisions that we believe are prudent based on our operations. However, there are types of losses we may incur but against which we cannot be insured or which we believe are not economically reasonable to insure, such as losses due to acts of war, certain crimes (including employee crime), certain wage and hour and other employment-related claims and litigation, actions based on certain consumer protection laws, and some natural and other disasters or similar events. If we incur material uninsured losses, our financial performance could suffer. Certain material events, such as political developments, security concerns and natural disasters have resulted, and may result again in sizable losses for the insurance industry and adversely affect the availability of adequate insurance coverage or result in excessive premium increases. To offset negative insurance market trends, we may elect to self-insure, accept higher deductibles or reduce the amount of coverage. In addition, we self-insure a significant portion of expected losses under our workers’ compensation, automobile liability, general liability (including claims made against certain of our landlords), property loss, and group health insurance programs. Significant changes in actuarial assumptions and management estimates underlying our recorded liabilities for these losses, including any expected increases in medical and indemnity costs, could result in materially different expenses than expected under these programs, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Although we maintain property insurance for catastrophic events at our store support center and distribution centers, we are effectively self-insured for other property losses. If we experience a greater number of these losses than we anticipate, our financial performance could be adversely affected.

Any events that negatively impact the reputation of, or value associated with the Tiendas 3B brand or any of our private labels could adversely affect our business.

The Tiendas 3B brand along with our other private labels are important assets of our business. Maintaining the reputation of and value associated with our brands is central to the success of our business we could be adversely affected if customers lose confidence in the safety and quality of the products sold or provided by us. For third-party brands, we depend on our suppliers’ investments in their own marketing and promotion of their brands in order for customers to purchase their products rather than those of the suppliers’ competitors. We also depend on our suppliers to comply with applicable employment, environmental and other laws and standards so as not to negatively impact the Tiendas 3B brand. However, there can be no assurance that suppliers are or will remain in compliance with such laws.

In light of the increased public focus on employment, health and safety and environmental matters, a violation, or allegations of a violation of such laws or regulations, or a failure to achieve particular standards by any of our manufacturers, could lead to unfavorable publicity and a decline in public demand for our products, or require us to incur expenditure or make changes to our supply chain and other business arrangements to ensure compliance. Any such events concerning us, or any of our manufacturers or suppliers that supply our products could create substantial erosion in the reputation of, or value associated with, the Tiendas 3B brand or our other private labels and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or prospects.

A significant change in governmental regulations and requirements could materially increase our cost of doing business, and noncompliance with governmental regulations could materially and adversely affect our financial performance.

We routinely incur significant costs in complying with numerous and frequently changing laws and regulations, including those applicable to the opening and operation of our stores. The complexity of this regulatory environment and related compliance costs continue to increase due to additional legal and regulatory requirements, our expanding operations, and increased regulatory scrutiny and enforcement efforts. New or revised laws, regulations, policies, rules (normas oficiales) and related interpretations and enforcement practices, particularly

10


 

those dealing with the sale of products, including without limitation, product and food safety, marketing or labeling; consumer protection; information security and privacy; labor and employment; employee wages and benefits; health and safety; imports and customs; taxes; and environmental compliance and climate-related disclosure, may significantly increase our expenses or require extensive system and operating changes that could materially increase our cost of doing business. Violations of applicable laws and regulations or untimely or incomplete execution of a required product recall can result in significant penalties (including loss of licenses or significant fines), class action or other litigation, governmental investigation or action and reputational damage. Additionally, changes in tax laws (including those related to the corporate tax rate), the interpretation of existing laws, or our failure to sustain our reporting positions on examination could adversely affect our overall effective tax rate. Furthermore, significant and/or rapid increases to the minimum wage rates could adversely affect our earnings if we are not able to otherwise offset these increased labor costs elsewhere in our business.

 

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or “OECD,” released final "Pillar Two" model rules pursuant to the Global Anti-Base Erosion Proposal, or “GloBE,” to reform international corporate taxation. Large multinational enterprises within the scope of the rules are required to calculate their GloBE effective tax rate for each jurisdiction where they operate. They will be liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between their GloBE effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate.

 

The rules issued by the OECD have not been enacted in the British Virgin Islands, which is where the Company is incorporated, nor Mexico, which is where the Company has most of its operations; however, Pillar Two legislation was enacted in the United Kingdom, the jurisdiction in which BBB Foods Limited Partnership and Lothian Shelf Limited are incorporated, and came into effect starting January 1, 2024. Considering Tiendas Tres B, S.A. de C.V. has an effective tax rate that exceeds 15%, no additional current tax exposure is expected to be recognized in connection with the Mexican source of revenue, even if Pillar Two legislation or similar legislation is adopted by either the British Virgin Islands or Mexico. However, additional informational returns or disclosures may be required in certain jurisdictions.

 

We analyze the potential implications of the application of the Pillar Two rules, including evaluating whether the requirements in each jurisdiction qualify as income taxes, and as of now we have determined there are no quantitative effects.

Our operations are subject to the general risks of litigation.

We are involved, on an ongoing basis, in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, which could result in unfavorable decisions or financial penalties against us. Litigation may include class actions involving consumers, shareholders, employees or personal injury, and claims related to commercial, labor, employment, antitrust, tax, administrative, intellectual property, torts, contract, securities or environmental matters. Moreover, litigation requires substantial time, which may distract our management. Even if we are successful, any litigation may be costly, and any awards may not approximate the costs of such litigation. Furthermore, there may be claims or expenses, which are denied insurance coverage by our insurance carriers, not fully covered by our insurance, in excess of the amount of our insurance coverage or not insurable at all. Litigation trends and expenses and the outcomes of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and adverse litigations, trends, expenses and outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We will continue to be subject to legal proceedings and we may be subject to investigations. We cannot assure you that these proceedings and investigations will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Moreover, adverse publicity about regulatory or legal actions or investigations and allegations by other parties involved in regulatory or legal actions against us could damage our reputation and brand image, undermine our customers’ confidence and reduce long-term demand for our products, even if the regulatory or legal action is unfounded or not material to our operations.

The development and strengthening of the class action system could adversely affect our business and operations.

Since 2011, there has been a legal framework in Mexico that allows the exercise of class actions in relation to the consumption of goods or services and in environmental matters. This could result in the filing of class actions

11


 

against us by our customers or other market participants. Due to lack of judicial precedents in the interpretation and application of such laws, we cannot anticipate that class actions will be initiated against us, the outcome of any class action brought against us under such laws, including the extent of any liability and the impact of such liability on our activities, our financial situation, results of operations, cash flows, its prospects and/or the market price of our Class A common shares.

Changes in law, structural reforms, and related regulations that could impact pricing, reimbursement and coverage may adversely affect our business.

The continuing increase in consumer expenditures has been the subject of considerable government attention almost everywhere we conduct business. We cannot assure you that local, regional or federal government in the regions in which we operate will not enact laws or regulations designed to protect customer or reduce costs for consumers, including by imposing price caps on basic staples such as those primarily sold at our stores. Any such laws or regulations, changes thereto, or the enforcement thereof, could adversely affect our pricing and profitability. Moreover, local governments may delay or restrict permits for new store locations in an effort to protect smaller local businesses or municipal markets, which could affect our ability to continue expanding.

Government investigations into sales and marketing practices may result in substantial penalties.

We operate in complex legal and regulatory environments, and any failure to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations may result in civil and/or criminal legal proceedings. As those rules and regulations change or as interpretations of those regulations evolve, our prior conduct or that of companies we have acquired may be called into question. Such proceedings are unpredictable and may develop over lengthy periods of time. In addition, fines and corrective measures can be expensive and disruptive to operations.

We are subject to the Mexican federal anti-corruption laws, and similar foreign anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, and sanctions laws. Failure to comply with these laws could result in penalties, which could harm our reputation and have an adverse effect on our business.

Our business is subject to a significant number of laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and sanctions. The Mexican regulatory regime related to anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and sanctions legislation is still developing and could be less stringent than anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and sanctions legislation, which has been implemented in other jurisdictions.

We may also be subject to certain foreign anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, and sanctions laws and regulations that have extra-territorial jurisdiction, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and laws and regulations administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”). Notably, in February 2025, the U.S. Secretary of State designated certain international drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations, including cartels and organizations known to operate in Mexico, as foreign terrorist organizations (“FTOs”). These designations enable U.S. authorities to prosecute FTOs or individuals or entities alleged to have provided FTOs with “material support,” which is broadly defined, and, therefore, increases the risk of potential criminal and civil liability against any such entities or individuals.

In June 2025, an agency of the U.S. government designated certain Mexican banks as institutions of primary money laundering concern in connection with illicit opioid trafficking. These orders prohibit U.S. “covered financial institutions” from transmitting funds to any of the named banks, which conducted a large volume of foreign currency operations in the Mexican market or provided trustee services used for a wide array of purposes, and were common counterparties across the financial system. These sanctions, or similar future measures, may indirectly impact the broader Mexican financial sector, including payments, the economy more broadly and, by extension, our operations, including if we make payment to a supplier or vendor that uses any such institution or we are users of any such institution. They may also negatively impact investor confidence, constrain financing options for Mexican companies and heighten compliance and due diligence requirements in transactions involving U.S. or international counterparties.

12


 

Although we did not have operations with the sanctioned banks, we have implemented compliance processes and internal control systems designed to prevent and detect inappropriate practices, fraud or violation of law. However, our existing compliance processes and internal control systems may not be sufficient to prevent or detect all inappropriate practices, fraud or violations of law by our employees, contractors, agents, officers or any other persons who conduct business with or on behalf of us. Further, the promulgation of new laws, rules, and regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws, rules, and regulations, in each case that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or manner in which we or our retailers and brands conduct business could require us to change certain aspects of our business, operations, and commercial relationships to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for products or services, reduce net revenue, increase costs, or subject us to additional liabilities. We may in the future discover instances in which we have failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations or internal controls. If any of our employees, contractors, agents, officers or other persons with whom we conduct business engages in fraudulent, corrupt, or other improper or unethical business practices, has or is deemed to have a nexus to an FTO, or otherwise violates applicable laws, regulations, or our own internal compliance systems, we could become subject to one or more enforcement actions by Mexican or foreign authorities (including the U.S. Department of Justice) or otherwise be found to be in violation of such laws. This may result in penalties, fines, or sanctions and in turn adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to the provisions contained in the Mexican Industrial Property Law.

The brands that we operate are subject to the special provisions contained in the Mexican Industrial Property Law (Ley Federal de Protección a la Propiedad Industrial). These provisions are subject to frequent changes, which generally have a tendency to make them more stringent. Although future capital and operating expenses have been budgeted to maintain compliance with the Mexican Industrial Property Law, it cannot be guaranteed that they will be sufficient in the face of a change or future application of a much stricter law than the current one. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the costs of complying with this law or the provisions related to this matter, current and future, or derived from a more strict or different interpretation of this law, and the responsibility that could be incurred by failure to comply with it will not adversely affect our operations, results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

Evolving expectations and/or requirements for reporting on or implementing environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs could increase our costs, and failure to meet expectations or requirements could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

On March 6, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule on the Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which was voluntarily stayed by the SEC on April 4, 2024, pending resolution of multiple challenges to be heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, until the SEC voted to end its defense of the rules in March 2025. Absent these developments, the rules would have been phased in starting in 2027. Management is continuing to monitor the developments pertaining to the rules and any resulting potential impacts on the our financial statements.

Meeting stakeholder expectations and regulatory requirements could require additional resources and compliance costs. In addition, negative consumer perceptions regarding the sourcing of the products we sell and the sufficiency and transparency of our reporting on ESG matters, where applicable or as required from time to time by regulations, and events that give rise to actual, potential, or perceived compliance and social responsibility concerns could damage our reputation, result in lost sales, cause our clients to seek alternative sources for their products and make it difficult and costly for us to regain our client’s confidence.

We are subject to risks due to breaches of the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares).

We are subject to compliance with the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares). While we have procedures in place to comply at all times with such law, we are susceptible to breaches, due to our highly diversified operation as well as complexity over digital protections, and its interactions across multiple systems including hardware, software, networks, applications, services or any other information technology that allow the exchange or computerized processing or digitized data. We will be susceptible to any violation that interrupts the protection of

13


 

customer information, administrative security measures, physical security, unauthorized access by third parties, protection of mobile equipment, maintenance of data warehouses, technical security measures, electronic support, and physical support, among others. Since some of the information we receive is considered as sensitive in terms of the Mexican Federal Law on Personal Data Protection (Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares), any breaches or perceived breaches of data privacy may lead to a wide range of sanctions from regulators as well as reduced confidence from clients and affect our reputation, which may have a substantial effect on our results.

We are subject to the Mexican Federal Consumer Protection Law.

We are subject to laws and regulations related to consumer protection, particularly with respect to our marketing and promotional programs. Despite the strict measures we take to protect our customers and our constant focus on improving the customer experience, there is a risk that a violation of consumer protection laws may occur at a store as part of our daily interaction with clients. In the event of non-compliance, the Mexican Consumer Protection Agency (Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor) could initiate proceedings against us, as well as impose sanctions, such as fines or closures to establishments, which could affect our operating results. Additionally, we may be subject to penalties from the Mexican Consumer Protection Agency (Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor) if we use marketing materials with inaccurate or misleading information, which, in turn may have an adverse effect in our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Mexico and Other Global Risks

Since our operations are all based in Mexico, economic developments in Mexico may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Currently, all of our operations are conducted, and all of our customers are located, in Mexico. Accordingly, our ability to raise revenues, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent on the economic conditions prevailing in Mexico. As a result, our business may be significantly affected by the Mexican economy’s general condition, by the depreciation of the Mexican peso, by inflation and high interest rates in Mexico, or by political developments in Mexico. Declines in growth, high rates of inflation and high interest rates in Mexico have a generally adverse effect on our operations. If inflation in Mexico increases while economic growth slows, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be affected. The Mexican government may adopt policies, changes in law and drastic measures to attempt to control and reduce the inflation such as price controls and restrict product offering which may have a significant effect on Mexican private business, supply chains and ultimately our margins In addition, high interest rates and economic instability could increase our costs of financing.

In recent years, Mexico’s sovereign debt rating was subject to downward revisions and negative outlooks from major rating agencies as a result of such agencies assessment of the overall financial capacity of the government of Mexico to pay its obligations and its ability to meet its financial commitments as they become due. Factors influencing such rating have historically included, among others, concerns about public spending pressure, election cycles, trade tensions, the ability of the Mexican state oil company (Petróleos Mexicanos, or “PEMEX”) to meet its obligations and the Mexican government’s support of PEMEX and the general macroeconomic outlook, and more recently, the constitutional overhaul has undermined the checks and balances of the country's judicial system. We cannot ensure that the rating agencies will not announce additional downgrades of Mexico and/or PEMEX in the future. These downgrades could adversely affect the Mexican economy and, consequently, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. In the event that the Mexican economy experiences a deterioration in gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth or of economic conditions such as inflation, interest rate increases, downgrade of sovereign debt, among other factors, the activities, financial situation, operating results, cash flows and/or prospects of the Company, could be adversely and significantly affected.

Developments in other countries could materially affect the Mexican economy and, in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Mexico’s economy is vulnerable to global market downturns and economic slowdowns. The macroeconomic environment in which we operate is beyond our control, and the future economic environment may

14


 

continue to be less favorable than in recent years. There is no assurance of a strong economic recovery or that the current economic conditions will ameliorate. The risks associated with current and potential changes in the Mexican economy are significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The market prices of securities issued by companies with Mexican operations are affected to varying degrees by the economic and market situation in other places, including the United States, China, the rest of Latin America and other countries with emerging markets. Therefore, investors’ reactions to events in any of these countries could have an adverse effect on the market price of securities issued by companies with Mexican operations. Past economic crises that have occurred in the United States, China or in countries with emerging markets could cause a decrease in the levels of interest in the securities issued by companies with Mexican operations.

In the past, the emergence of adverse economic conditions in other emerging countries has led to capital flight and, consequently, to decreases in the value of foreign investments in Mexico. The financial crisis that arose in the United States during the third quarter of 2008, unleashed a global recession that directly and indirectly affected the economy and the Mexican stock markets and caused, among other things, fluctuations in purchase prices the sale of securities issued by publicly traded companies, shortage of credit, budget cuts, economic slowdowns, volatility in exchange rates, and inflationary pressures. Similarly, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy, including that of Mexico, was materially and adversely affected by a significant lack of liquidity, disruption in the credit markets, reduced business activity, rising unemployment, interest rates changes and erosion of consumer confidence which affected our customers.

Financial problems or an increase in risk related to investment in emerging economies or a perception of risk could limit foreign investment in Mexico and adversely affect the Mexican economy. Mexico has historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth and there can be no assurance that the overall business environment in which we operate will improve and we cannot predict the impact any future economic downturn could have on our results of operations and financial condition. However, consumer demand generally decreases during economic downturns, which will negatively affect our business and results of operations.

Fluctuations in the U.S. economy may adversely affect Mexico’s economy and our business.

The United States is the country with the highest share of trade with Mexico. Accordingly, the U.S. economy heavily influences the Mexican economy, and therefore, the deterioration of the United States’ economy, any amendments to, or termination of, the USMCA, claims thereunder or other related events may impact the economy of Mexico. Economic conditions in Mexico are highly correlated to economic conditions in the United States as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and, subsequently, the USMCA, which has induced higher economic activity between the two countries and increased the remittance of funds from Mexican immigrants working in the United States to Mexican residents.

Likewise, any action taken by the current U.S. or Mexico administrations, including changes to or dispute resolution proceedings under the USMCA, trade law enforcement actions under local law, tariffs and/or other U.S. government policies or executive orders that may be adopted or issued by the U.S. administration, could have a negative impact on the Mexican economy, such as reductions in the levels of remittances, changes to the U.S. dollar-Mexican peso exchange rate and cost of capital, reduced commercial activity or bilateral trade or declining foreign direct investment in Mexico. In particular, for the stated purpose of addressing illegal immigration and drug
smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border, the new U.S. administration has imposed tariffs on Mexican products,
which have been subject to pauses and renegotiations, including exemptions for USMCA-compliant products. Any
suspension may be modified, extended or cancelled at any time. The full extent and timing of the actions that the U.S. federal administration may implement with regards to international trade, geopolitical relations or economic policies is unclear as of the date of this annual report, and if implemented, how these actions may impact the hard discount grocery retail market in Mexico. Any actions taken by the new U.S. administration may cast uncertainty on global financial and economic markets, have a negative impact on the U.S. economy, or indirectly on the Mexican economy, and, in turn, on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, increased or perceptions of increased economic protectionism in the United States, Mexico and other countries could potentially lead to lower levels of trade and investment and economic growth, which could

15


 

have a similarly negative impact on the Mexican economy. These economic and political consequences could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We cannot make assurances that any events in the United States or elsewhere will not materially and adversely affect us.

The effects of public health crises may amplify the risks and uncertainties facing our business.

We cannot predict with certainty the extent that our operations may be impacted by any effects of pandemics or other health crises on us or on our customers, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners, and each of their respective financial condition; however, any adverse effect on these parties could materially and adversely impact us. To the extent that any health disruptions affect the Mexican and global economy and our business, it may also heighten other risks described under the “Risk Factors” heading, including but not limited to those related to consumer behavior and expectations, competition, implementation of strategic initiatives, cybersecurity threats, payment-related risks, supply chain disruptions, labor availability and cost, litigation and operational risk as a result of regulatory requirements.

The political situation in Mexico could negatively affect our operating results.

In Mexico, political instability has been a determining factor in business investment and economic conditions. Significant changes in laws, public policies and/or regulations or the use of public referendums (consultas populares) could affect Mexico’s political and economic situation, which could, in turn, adversely affect our business. Any change to current consumer protection or regulatory policies could have a significant effect on Mexican consumer service providers, including us, variations in interest rates, demand for our products and services, market conditions, and the prices of and returns on Mexican securities.

Political events in Mexico may significantly affect our business operations. Since the 2024 presidential, federal and local elections, the current administration and its political party, Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (National Regeneration Movement, or “MORENA”), has held a qualified majority in both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, as well as significant influence at the local level. This majority has allowed MORENA to make changes in laws, policies and regulations, including by constitutional amendment, and may enable them to continue to make such changes. Pursuant to on such legal change, Mexican presidents are now subject to a public vote of no confidence (revocación de mandato) in the third year of their term, which could lead to their removal. Any revocation of a president’s mandate and subsequent elections could create political instability which may have a significant adverse effect on investor confidence in Mexico, the Mexican economy, exchange rates and trade, which could, in turn, adversely impact our business.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has generally continued her predecessor’s political and economic agenda with significant changes to policies, laws and regulations, including amendments to the Mexican Constitution. Among these amendments is a judicial reform that requires all judges, including Supreme Court Justices, to be elected by popular vote. Additionally, changes were made to prevent any challenges to constitutional amendments, effectively granting these reforms immunity from judicial review. Furthermore, these constitutional amendments included the dissolution of certain independent regulatory bodies in Mexico, consolidating their functions under federal government agencies. These changes provide the supervising agencies with enhanced discretion and may, as such, affect the consistency of enforcement actions. Taken together, these developments may diminish legal certainty, the enforceability of contractual rights, dispute resolution and investment conditions in Mexico, including in the retail sector.

We cannot predict whether potential changes in Mexican governmental and economic policy could adversely affect Mexico’s economic conditions or the sector in which we operate, nor can we provide any assurance that political developments in Mexico, or that resulting economic, social and political instability will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects or the price of our Class A common shares.

16


 

Fluctuation of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to meet contractual obligations and results of operations.

The exchange rate for the Mexican peso fluctuates in relation to the U.S. dollar and such fluctuations may, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our earnings, assets, liability valuation and cash flows. Given most of our suppliers’ raw materials are dollarized commodities or subject to global price fluctuations, depreciations of the Mexican peso may also increase the cost of our products. Given our pricing strategy, we may not always be able to pass on these increased costs to our clients sufficiently quickly or at all. Any failure or delay to pass on increased costs may adversely affect our profitability.” A material devaluation or depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar may result in disruption of the international foreign exchange markets and may limit our ability to transfer or to convert Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars and other currencies to make timely payments of our U.S. dollar-denominated obligations.

The Mexican peso is a free-floating currency and, as such, it experiences exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar over time. While the Mexican government does not currently restrict, and since 1982 has not restricted, the right or ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to convert Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars or to transfer other currencies out of Mexico, the Mexican government could impose restrictive exchange rate policies or exchange controls in the future, as it has done in the past. Currency fluctuations may have an adverse effect on our financial position, results and cash flows in future periods. When the financial markets are volatile, as they have been in recent periods, our results may be substantially affected by variations in exchange rates and commodity prices and, to a lesser degree, interest rates. These effects include foreign exchange gain and loss on assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, fair value gain and loss on derivative financial instruments, commodities prices and changes in interest income and interest expense. These effects can be much more volatile than our operating performance and our operating cash flows.

The Mexican government exercises significant influence over the economy, and we face the risk of change in law.

The Mexican government has and is increasingly seeking to exert additional influence over the Mexican economy. Policies implemented by the Mexican government, changes in law and structural reforms may have a significant effect on Mexican private business, assets and securities. In the past, no party had a majority in Mexico’s congress, and congressional opposition hampered the passage of laws and reforms. As of December 31, 2025, the president’s political party and its allies held a qualified majority in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate and a strong influence in various local legislatures. The increased influence of the executive branch increases the risk of unexpected changes in law and policy.

Security risks in Mexico could increase, and this could adversely affect our results.

Mexico continues to experience high levels of violence and crime due to, among other factors, the activities of organized crime. Despite the measures adopted by the Mexican government, organized crime (especially drug-related crime) continues to exist and operate in Mexico. These activities, their possible escalation and the violence associated with them have had and may have a negative impact on the Mexican economy or on our operations in the future. The presence of violence among drug cartels, and between these and the Mexican law enforcement and armed forces, or an increase in other types of crime, pose a risk to our business, and might negatively impact business continuity.

High crime rates throughout Mexico could negatively affect our sales and operations. We and our personnel are exposed to safety threats such as theft, assault or destruction of property. Additionally, our fleet and the merchandise it transports is subject to an increased risk of theft, particularly on Mexican highways. Although we have established measures to mitigate these risks and recover stolen goods, criminal events, could negatively influence business by reducing the flow of customers to our stores if the area is deemed or perceived to be unsafe and may disrupt our supply chain and increase our operating, logistics and safety costs.

17


 

Changes in global trade policy could adversely affect our business.

Political leaders in the United States and in other countries have been elected on protectionist platforms, fueling doubts about the future of global free trade. The U.S. government has altered its approach to international trade policy, including by attempting generally to increase the tariff rate at which goods enter the US, and has in some cases sought to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries. While the U.S. government has targeted many Mexican goods for higher tariffs, it has also made limited exceptions for USMCA compliant products. The U.S. government has indicated a willingness to impose additional tariffs on other additional imports. Some foreign governments, including China, have instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods and have indicated a willingness to impose additional tariffs on U.S. products. Other countries have threatened retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. products or, like Mexico, have sought to negotiate with the U.S. administration. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect our financial performance.

In addition, the United States has formally initiated the mandatory 2026 joint review of the USMCA, introducing uncertainty regarding the extent to which the treaty will be revised, renegotiated or reviewed, and how any such changes would affect the Mexican economy. There can be no assurance that the USMCA will not be renegotiated or that it will continue to drive growth in Mexico. Similarly, we cannot assure you that U.S. and Mexico trade relations will not deteriorate, leading to further imposition of trade barriers. Any trade dispute between the United States and Mexico may have negative effects on the Mexican economy, the exchange rate, inflation and economic prospects, which will in turn negatively affect our business and results of operations.

High inflation rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The current inflation rate in Mexico is higher than the inflation rates of its most important commercial partners, including the United States and Canada. High inflation rates could adversely affect our business and financial condition and our results of operations. Mexico has a history of high levels of inflation and may experience high inflation in the future. Historically, inflation in Mexico has led to higher interest rates, depreciation of the Mexican peso and the imposition of substantial government controls over prices. If Mexico experiences high levels of inflation as it has in the past, these might adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

Furthermore, geopolitical developments, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East (including with Iran) and global supply chain disruptions, continue to increase uncertainty in the outlook of near-term and long-term economic activity, including whether inflation will continue and how long, and at what rate. Increases in inflation raise our costs for commodities, particularly fuel, labor, materials and services and other costs required to grow and operate our business, and failure to secure these on reasonable terms may adversely impact our financial condition. Additionally, increases in inflation, along with geopolitical developments and global supply chain disruptions, have caused, and may in the future cause, global economic uncertainty and uncertainty about the interest rate environment, which may make it more difficult, costly or dilutive for us to secure additional financing. A failure to adequately respond to these risks could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Risks Relating to Our Class A Common Shares

Our principal shareholder, Bolton Partners Ltd., owns all of our Class B common shares and a portion of our Class C common shares, which in the aggregate represent approximately 45.2% of the voting power of our common shares and therefore exercises significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, which limits or precludes your ability to influence corporate matters.

Each Class A common share entitles its holder to one vote per share, each Class C common share entitles its holder to one vote per share and each Class B common share entitles its holder to 15 votes per share, so long as the total number of the issued and outstanding Class B common shares represents at least 1.0% of the aggregate number of the aggregate common shares of the Company then outstanding.

18


 

Our principal shareholder owns all of our Class B common shares and a portion of our Class C common shares, representing approximately 45.2% of the voting power and 11.3% of the total number of our outstanding common shares, and will therefore have significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval. However, the foregoing does not include (i) Class C common shares that are held by our principal shareholder and our directors and officers in respect of both unvested and vested (but currently unexercisable) stock options, (ii) Class A common shares in respect of both unvested and vested (but in either case unexercised) stock options and unvested RSUs granted under our Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan or (iii) unvested delayed-delivery awards or allocations under the Liquidity Event Share Plan and Bolton Share Allocation, as applicable. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions–A. Major Shareholders.”

As a result, and for so long as our principal shareholder continues to beneficially own a sufficient number of Class B common shares and Class C common shares, our principal shareholder will have significant influence over the outcome of all decisions taken by our shareholders. Our principal shareholder will also be able to significantly influence our actions in areas such as business strategy, financing, distributions, acquisitions and dispositions of assets or businesses. For example, our principal shareholder’s significant influence may cause us to make acquisitions that increase the amount of our indebtedness or outstanding Class A common shares or inhibit change of control transactions that benefit other shareholders. Our principal shareholder’s decisions on these matters may be contrary to your expectations, preferences, or interests. Our principal shareholder may be able to prevent any other shareholder, including you, from blocking these actions. Our multiple class capital structure and our staggered board of directors may also limit the ability of others to acquire control. For more information, see “Item 10. Additional Information–A. Share Capital” and “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees–A. Directors and Senior Management—Board of Directors.”

Our Class A common shares may not be a suitable investment for all investors, as an investment in our Class A common shares presents risks and the possibility of financial losses.

An investment in our Class A common shares is subject to risks. Investors who wish to invest in our Class A common shares are subject to asset losses, including loss of the entire value of their investment, as well as other risks, including those related to our Class A common shares, us, the sector in which we operate, our shareholders and the general macroeconomic environment in Mexico, among other risks.

Each potential investor in our Class A common shares must therefore determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in our Class A common shares and the impact our Class A common shares will have on its overall investment portfolio;
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in our Class A common shares;
understand thoroughly the terms of our Class A common shares and be familiar with the behavior of any relevant indices and financial markets; and
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

19


 

We may elect to raise additional capital in the future by issuing securities or may enter into corporate transactions with an effect similar to a merger, which may dilute your interest in our shares and affect the trading price of our Class A common shares.

We may elect to raise additional funds to grow our business and implement our growth strategy through public or private issuances of common shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our Class A common shares, including by using Class A common shares as acquisition consideration. Any such event may dilute your interest in our share capital or result in a decrease in the market price of our Class A common shares. In addition, we may also enter into mergers or other similar transactions in the future, which may dilute your interest in our shares or result in a decrease in the market price of our Class A common shares. Any fundraising through the issuance of shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common shares, or the participation in corporate transactions with an effect similar to a merger, may dilute your interest in our capital stock or result in a decrease in the market price of our Class A common shares.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future, to fund the operation of our business and future growth. Accordingly, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our Class A common shares. As a result, capital appreciation in the price of our Class A common shares, if any, will be your only source of gain on an investment in our Class A common shares. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as our board of directors considers relevant. In addition, our holding company structure makes us dependent on the operations of our subsidiaries. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. See “Item 8. Financial Information–A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information–Dividends and Dividend Policy.”

Our multiple class capital structure means our Class A common shares are not included in certain indices. We cannot predict the impact this may have on the trading price of our Class A common shares.

We cannot predict whether our multiple class capital structure, combined with the concentrated control of our company will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common shares or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. FTSE Russell, S&P Dow Jones and MSCI announced changes to their eligibility criteria for the inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, namely, to exclude companies with multiple classes of common shares. FTSE Russell requires greater than five percent of the company’s voting rights (aggregated across all of its equity securities, including, where identifiable, those not listed or trading) in the hands of public shareholders whereas S&P Dow Jones announced that companies with multiple share class structures, such as ours, will not be eligible for inclusion in the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400 and S&P SmallCap 600, which together comprise the S&P Composite 1500. MSCI also announced its review of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily barred new multi-class listings from its ACWI Investable Market Index and U.S. Investable Market 2500 Index. We cannot guarantee that other stock indices will not take a similar approach to FTSE Russell, S&P Dow Jones and MSCI in the future. Pursuant to these policies, our multiple class capital structure makes our Class A common shares ineligible for inclusion in such indices and mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track these indices will not invest in our stock. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class A common shares and depress the valuations of publicly traded companies excluded from the indices compared to those of similar companies that are included. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple share class structures. As a result, our multiple class capital structure may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A common shares.

Our holding company structure makes us dependent on the operations of our subsidiaries.

BBB Foods Inc. is a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. BBB Foods Inc. operates as a holding company and, accordingly, its material assets are our direct and indirect

20


 

equity interests in our subsidiaries. The Company is therefore dependent upon the results of operations and, in turn, the payments, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries for funds to pay our holding company’s operating and other expenses and to pay future cash dividends or distributions, if any, to holders of our Class A common shares, and we may have tax costs in connection with any dividend or distribution. In addition, the payments, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries to us for funds to pay future cash dividends or distributions, if any, to holders of our Class A common shares, could be restricted under financing arrangements that we or our subsidiaries may enter into in the future and we and such subsidiaries may be required to obtain the approval of lenders to make such payments to us in the event they are in default of their repayment obligations. Under Mexican law, our Mexican subsidiary may only pay dividends, if among other things, any existing losses applicable to prior years have been made up or absorbed into shareholders equity and after at least 5% of net profits for the relevant fiscal year have been allocated to a legal reserve until the amount of the reserve equals 20% of a company’s paid-in capital stock. If we or our Mexican subsidiary fail to comply with the requirements to pay dividends under Mexican law, we may not be able to make distributions to our shareholders or service our debt obligations, which could ultimately have a material adverse effect on us.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, the price of our Class A common shares and their trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If no or too few securities or industry analysts cover of our company, the trading price for our Class A common shares would likely be negatively affected. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Class A common shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our Class A common shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Class A common shares could decrease, which might cause the price of our Class A common shares and their trading volume to decline.

As a foreign private issuer, we have different disclosure and other requirements than U.S. domestic registrants.

As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to different disclosure and other requirements than domestic U.S. registrants. For example, as a foreign private issuer, in the United States, we are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as a domestic U.S. registrant under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including the requirements to prepare and issue quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or to file current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events or the proxy rules applicable to domestic U.S. registrants under Section 14 of the Exchange Act or the short-swing profit rules applicable to domestic U.S. registrants under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we rely on exemptions from certain U.S. rules which permit us to follow British Virgin Islands legal requirements rather than certain of the requirements that are applicable to U.S. domestic registrants.

Furthermore, foreign private issuers are required to file their annual report on Form 20-F within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of the above, even though we are required to furnish reports on Form 6-K disclosing the limited information which we have made or are required to make public pursuant to British Virgin Islands law, or are required to distribute to shareholders generally, and that is material to us, you may not receive information of the same type or amount that is required to be disclosed to shareholders of a U.S. company.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to, and we do, rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, including the requirement that a majority of an issuer’s directors consist of independent directors. This may afford less protection to holders of our Class A common shares.

U.S. rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of the members of their board of directors to be independent, and to have independent director oversight of executive compensation, nomination of directors and corporate governance matters. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we follow

21


 

home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. See “Item 10. Additional Information–B. Memorandum and Articles of Association––British Virgin Islands Company Considerations.”

We may lose our foreign private issuer status which would then require us to comply with the Exchange Act’s domestic reporting regime and cause us to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses.

In order to maintain our current status as a foreign private issuer, either (a) more than 50% of our common shares must be either directly or indirectly owned of record by non-residents of the United States or (b)(1) a majority of our executive officers or directors may not be U.S. citizens or residents; (2) more than 50% of our assets must not be located in the United States; and (3) our business must be administered principally outside the United States. If we lose this status, we would be required to comply with the Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers. We may also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and New York Stock Exchange rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws if we are required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher than the costs we will incur as a foreign private issuer.

We do not know whether market will constantly provide you with adequate liquidity for our Class A common shares. If the trading price of our Class A common shares fluctuates, you could lose a significant part of your investment.

We cannot predict how liquid the market for our Class A common shares might become. In addition, the market price of our Class A common shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts or acquisitions;
technological innovations by us or competitors;
the failure of financial analysts to cover our Class A common shares or changes in financial estimates by analysts;
actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
changes in financial estimates by financial analysts, or any failure by us to meet or exceed any of these estimates, or changes in the recommendations of any financial analysts that elect to follow our Class A common shares or the shares of our competitors;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts or acquisitions;
future sales of our shares; and
investor perceptions of us and the industries in which we operate.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies affected. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our Class A common shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of certain companies’ securities, securities class action litigation has been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. If a market is not maintained, the liquidity and price of our Class A common shares could be seriously harmed.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, if we fail to remediate such deficiencies (or identify and remediate any other material weaknesses) or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations,

22


 

meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our securities.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

Prior to our IPO, we were a private company and had limited accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. As a privately held company, we were not required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting in a manner that meets the standards of publicly traded companies required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). We are still in the process of implementing Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years then ended, we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in “Item 15. Controls and Procedures–B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”

Following the identification of these material weaknesses, we have taken measures, and plan to continue to take additional measures, to remediate these issues. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we have identified, and we cannot, as of the date of this annual report, conclude that they have been fully remediated. Unless these material weaknesses are timely remediated, there is a risk that our internal control processes may not detect, or detect on a timely basis, misstatements in our financial statements or other financial reporting. As of the date of this annual report, we have upgraded and automated certain key accounting procedures, improved the accuracy of financial reporting and strengthened segregation of duties. We have also enhanced our record-keeping for key financial reporting processes to include detailed flowcharts and control narratives. In addition, we improved supporting documentation standards and training programs related to IFRS, SEC regulations, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by COSO. Furthermore, we have significantly reduced and, where appropriate, eliminated our reliance on external advisors for the preparation of our financial statements, thereby reinforcing internal ownership and accountability. We continue to work to remediate as quickly as possible the aforemetnioned material weaknesses by implementing compensating and mitigating controls in our internal control program.

We are subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as the rules and regulations of the SEC. As a result, we have implemented the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by COSO and performed an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, pursuant to which we identified certain material weaknesses. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these rules and regulations are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may disagree with our assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, as a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources, and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation.

If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or remediate any identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies or discover and address future material weaknesses or deficiencies, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements, fail to meet our reporting obligations or fail to prevent fraud, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could, in turn, limit our access to capital markets, subject our Class A common shares to potential delisting from the

23


 

New York Stock Exchange, harm our results of operations, or lead to a decline in the trading price of our Class A common shares.

Risks Relating to Investing in a British Virgin Islands Company

We are a British Virgin Islands company and it may be difficult for you to obtain or enforce judgments against us or our executive officers and directors in the United States.

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Most of our assets are located outside the United States. Furthermore, most of our directors and officers and the experts named in this annual report reside outside the United States, and most of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, you may find it difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce outside the United States judgments obtained against us or these persons in U.S. courts, including judgments in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against us or these persons in courts located in jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. It may also be difficult or impossible for an investor to bring an action in a British Virgin Islands court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us or these persons.

As there is no treaty in force on the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters between the United States and the British Virgin Islands, courts in the British Virgin Islands will not automatically recognize and enforce a final judgment rendered by a U.S. court.

Any final and conclusive monetary judgment obtained against us in U.S. courts, for a definite sum, may be treated by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as a cause of action in itself so that no retrial of the issues would be necessary, provided that in respect of the U.S. judgment:

the U.S. court issuing the judgment had jurisdiction in the matter and the Company either submitted to such jurisdiction or were resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and were duly served with process;
the judgment given by the U.S. court was not in respect of multiple damages, penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the Company;
in obtaining judgment there was no fraud on the part of the person in whose favor judgment was given or on the part of the court;
recognition or enforcement of the judgment in the British Virgin Islands would not be contrary to public policy of the British Virgin Islands;
no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the British Virgin Islands;
the proceedings pursuant to which judgment were obtained did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the British Virgin Islands; and
there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, because the Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

BBB Foods Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against the Company or our directors or officers.

24


 

Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. Under our memorandum and articles of association, we indemnify and hold our directors harmless against all claims and suits brought against them, subject to limited exceptions. Under our memorandum and articles of association, to the extent allowed by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers and employees and any current or former shareholder are governed exclusively by the laws of the British Virgin Islands and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands courts, unless those rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of their capacities as such. This exclusive jurisdiction may limit the shareholders’ ability to bring a claim against us in a jurisdiction that they consider favorable to them in disputes with us. In addition, it may be costlier for shareholders to present claims in the courts located in the British Virgin Islands, which could discourage such claims. Nevertheless, our shareholders will not be deemed to have waived their rights related to our compliance with U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to foreign private issuers. Although there is doubt as to whether U.S. courts would enforce this provision in an action brought in the United States under U.S. securities laws, this provision could make enforcing judgments obtained outside the British Virgin Islands more difficult to enforce against our assets in the British Virgin Islands or jurisdictions that would apply British Virgin Islands law.

There may be less publicly available information about us than is regularly published by or about U.S. issuers. Also, the British Virgin Islands regulations governing the securities of British Virgin Islands companies are not as extensive as those in effect in the United States, and the British Virgin Islands law and regulations in respect of corporate governance matters may not be as protective of minority shareholders as state corporation laws in the United States. Therefore, you may have more difficulty protecting your interests in connection with actions taken by the Company, our directors and officers or our principal shareholder than you would as a shareholder of a corporation incorporated in the United States.

The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the statutory and fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to the Company under British Virgin Islands law are governed by the Companies Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived from English common law, and whilst the decisions of the English courts are of persuasive authority, they are not binding on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the statutory and fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law may not be as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, while statutory provisions do exist in British Virgin Islands law for derivative actions to be brought in certain circumstances, such actions require the permission of a court in the British Virgin Islands and shareholders in British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred.

The British Virgin Islands courts are also unlikely:

to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws where that liability is in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the Company; and
to impose liabilities against the Company, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by the Company, our board of directors, our management or our principal shareholder than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company. For a discussion of certain differences between the provisions of the Companies Act, remedies available to shareholders and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the

25


 

United States and their shareholders, see “Item 10. Additional Information–B. Memorandum and Articles of Association––British Virgin Islands Company Considerations.”

You may not be able to participate in future equity offerings, and you may not receive any value for rights that we may grant.

Under our memorandum and articles of association, holders of Class B common shares are entitled to preemptive rights in the event that additional Class A common shares are issued in order to maintain their proportional ownership interest. However, our memorandum and articles of association also provide that such preemptive subscription rights do not apply to certain issuances of securities by us, including (i) pursuant to any employee compensation plans; (ii) as consideration for (a) any merger, consolidation or purchase of assets or (b) recapitalization or reorganization; (iii) in connection with a pro rata division of shares or dividend in specie or distribution; or (iv) pursuant to any bona fide shareholder rights plan adopted by the Company, and holders of our Class B common shares are not entitled to the benefits of any redemption or sinking fund provisions.

We are required to comply with economic substance requirements in the British Virgin Islands.

The British Virgin Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the Economic Substance (Companies and Limited Partnerships) Act, 2018 (as amended, the “ESA”) came into force in the British Virgin Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for British Virgin Islands tax resident companies which are engaged in certain “relevant activities,” which in our case applies for financial years from 2019 onwards.

At present, the activities which are conducted by us would constitute holding business. As of the date of this annual report, we expect that the ESA will have little material impact on us or our operations; however, because the legislation is new and remains subject to further clarification and interpretation, it may not be possible to ascertain the precise impact of any legislative changes or changes in official guidance on us. We are required to make an annual filing with the British Virgin Islands International Tax Authority confirming if we carried out any “relevant activities” during the preceding financial period and, if so, providing certain prescribed information.

If our activities change or if the scope of the “relevant activities” is changed by subsequent legislation, we may be required to increase our substance in the British Virgin Islands to satisfy such requirements, which could result in additional costs that could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. If we were required to satisfy economic substance requirements in the British Virgin Islands but failed to do so, we could face financial penalties, restriction or regulation of our business activities and/or may be struck off as a registered entity in the British Virgin Islands or liquidated.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

We were incorporated on July 9, 2004 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with company number 605635. Our principal executive offices are located at Av. Presidente Masaryk 8, Polanco V Sección, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, Mexico 11560. Our registered office is located at Commerce House, Wickhams Cay 1, P.O. Box 3140, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands. Our website is www.tiendas3b.com and our investor relations website is https://www.investorstiendas3b.com/.

In 2004, K. Anthony Hatoum, founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tiendas 3B, decided to start a new hard discounter in Mexico based on his experience with BIM, the successful Turkish hard discounter, and his conviction of the model’s sustainable competitive advantages and financial attractiveness. After analyzing the prospects of several countries in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, Mr. Hatoum chose to start this new business in Mexico. Convinced by the country’s business case, he opened the first store in February 2005 in Mexico City.

The development of private label products, core to offering high value to our customers, has been part of our business strategy since our founding. We launched our first private label, “LactiBu,” a modified liquid milk formula, in May 2005. As of December 31, 2025, we had developed over 113 different private label brands, representing over 525 SKUs. Our value offer to our customers improves continuously as we introduce new private labels and continue to improve existing ones.

As of December 31, 2025, we had grown to become the leading hard discount retailer in Mexico with 3,346 stores, 20 distribution centers, and 29,202 employees. The charts below highlight our growth trajectory from 2020 to 2025.

“Same Store Sales” is calculated using revenue from sales of merchandise from stores that were operational for at least the full 12 months for the periods under consideration. Stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the periods under consideration were excluded when calculating this measure. Same Store Sales growth is measured by comparing the Same Store Sales of stores that were open during the measurement period.

 

 

img95795954_2.gifimg95795954_3.gif

 

Our sales growth is attributable to both our store footprint expansion as well as Same Store Sales growth from our existing store base. Our Same Store Sales growth has seen consistent double-digit growth over recent years.

Our founder-led management team continues to run the business and has successfully transitioned the company from a startup to Mexico’s 96th most important company according to Expansión magazine’s ranking of the 500 most important companies in Mexico for 2025. The Company was recognized by the Financial Times in 2025 as one of the fastest growing companies in the Americas.

Our belief in building a solid foundation to sustain high growth has led us to invest heavily in human resource development early on, establishing a strong culture, building robust processes, and an enterprise resource planning system capable of sustaining thousands of stores. This investment today has been fully justified as it is what we believe has allowed the company to sustain high growth rates.

Key milestones in our history are shown below.

B.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Overview

We are pioneers and leaders of the grocery hard discount model in Mexico and one of the fastest growing retailers in the country as measured by our sales and store growth rates. The 3B name, which references “Bueno, Bonito y Barato” – a Mexican saying which translates to “Good, Nice and Affordable”– summarizes our mission of offering irresistible value to budget savvy consumers through great quality products at bargain prices. From 2022 to 2025, our total revenue grew at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 35.6%, reaching Ps.78.2 billion (US$4.4 billion) for 2025, and our number of stores increased from 1,500 as of December 31, 2021 to 3,346 as of December 31, 2025, which represents a CAGR of 22.2%.

Our business model is simple yet disruptive: we offer a limited assortment of products that cover the daily grocery needs of our clients. We price our products to offer what is generally market-leading value for money: the lowest sustainable price in the market for a given quality. Our stores also offer convenience, since they are generally located within central neighborhoods that allow for daily visits and minimize transportation needs for our customers. Our customers visit us on average three to four times per week to fulfill one or two days of groceries.

The Tiendas 3B product range consists of approximately 850 to 900 SKUs of branded, private label and spot products.

Branded products are well known national and international brand label goods that we offer at the lowest sustainable price in the market to attract customers and drive traffic. For 2024 and 2025, branded products represented 40.6% and 35.9% of our sales, respectively.

Private label products are products that we have developed ourselves and which we believe are of comparable or better quality than the equivalent branded alternative offered at our stores. For 2024 and 2025, private label products represented 53.6% and 58.2% of our sales, respectively.

Spot products are quality food and non-food products that we offer in addition to our regularly stocked products. These are offered in limited amounts and offer exceptional value. The selection changes every two weeks on average. For both 2024 and 2025, our spot products represented 5.7% of our sales.

Our stores serve low-to-middle income households. We believe that our business model, which focuses on both value and convenience, allows us to serve our target market better than incumbent competitors and maintain real and sustainable competitive advantages.

Due to our low number of SKUs and focus on serving daily grocery needs, we have been able to achieve a high ratio of sales per SKU and a ratio of 2.9 Payable Days to Inventory Days during 2025. We are also able to benefit from a virtuous cycle, where the ever-increasing scale of our purchases per SKU allows us to negotiate increasingly lower prices with our suppliers and, in turn, we are able to transfer those savings to our customers, therefore increasing customer loyalty and our sales.

The Tiendas 3B business model is highly efficient, allowing us to operate with gross margins that are lower than those of leading grocery retailers in Mexico, based on publicly available information. The strength of our model is underpinned by our limited product assortment, our decentralized organization, and our culture that values efficiency and simplicity. Efficiency translates into savings that can be passed on to our customers.

Our management is decentralized and organized into regions, each run by a regional director, and built around a distribution center that serves up to 200 stores. Each region has sufficient functional resources to operate autonomously and efficiently. This structure, supported by nimble central headquarters, has enabled us to scale efficiently by allowing us to dynamically select new store locations in a constant pursuit of scale and expansion,

29


 

while achieving positive gross and operating profit. Additionally, it enables suppliers to reach our decision makers quickly, fostering collaboration and accelerating the development of private label products.

Developing and retaining talent, as well as fostering a strong corporate culture, are key components of our business model and essential to sustaining our rapid growth rates and achieving efficiencies. We anticipate our personnel needs several years in advance and invest significant resources to ensure that we have the right talent at the right time.

We believe that the hard discount segment in Mexico has significant entry barriers for new participants, including: (i) the time and capital it takes to achieve scale and profitability given the inherent low gross margins of a hard discounter; (ii) the knowledge required to find competitive real estate and qualified personnel; (iii) the investment and know-how required to develop a meaningful private label product offering; and (iv) obtaining access to highly qualified senior management and experienced teams.

Our Business Model

Our business model is based on the following pillars:

High rotation of products: By limiting our selection of products, we have been able to achieve a high turnover of sales per SKU, which makes us a relevant buyer of the products we sell, in turn allowing for favorable terms with suppliers.
Strong private label offering: We own 113 different private label brands representing over 525 SKUs, that cover an array of food and non-food products. We outsource the manufacturing of these products to over 179 carefully selected manufacturers with tested supply reliability and quality controls. We are generally able to offer our private label products at a lower cost than that of the branded products they compete with. Further, our customer satisfaction studies and product analysis indicate that the quality of our private label products is comparable, if not better, than the competing branded products. Our enduring and long-term relationships with our suppliers have created a robust supplier ecosystem that underpins the strength of our private label product offering.
Value for money: By consistently delivering and improving value for money to our customers, including through our private label products, we have earned their trust, increased our wallet share and attracted new customers.
Low-cost operations and virtuous cycle of efficiency: We have built a business model that allows us to generate operating profit while operating at market-leading low gross profit margins, by limiting our SKUs, decentralizing operations, focusing on simplicity, maintaining low capital expenditures per store, having a nimble and agile decision-making process, a horizontal management structure, and promoting a strong culture of efficiency. This allows us to offer and sustain everyday low prices to our customers.
Rapid expansion: In 2025, we averaged a new store opening every 15.3 hours, which is faster than any other grocery retailer in Mexico. Our operations actively involve our regional personnel in the store opening process, with the goal of locating and securing the most attractive locations for new stores. Further, our low capital expenditure needed per new store which, combined with the attractive cash flow generation capacity of our stores, allows us to achieve attractive store payback periods on average (for these purposes, a payback period is, on a vintage basis, the average number of months it takes an operating store to recover the average investment per store, excluding stores that were permanently or temporarily closed). In addition, our negative working capital dynamics allow us to self-fund these investments. We are systematic in our approach to opening stores, and our recent vintages are showing a faster sales ramp-up and higher profitability vis-à-vis our older vintages for the same comparable period. With an estimated white space for at least 11,000 additional Tiendas 3B stores in Mexico, we are constantly looking to increase our number of stores and expand into new regions.

Our Stores

Our stores have been thoughtfully designed to improve our customer’s experience and achieve operational efficiencies.

 

Standardized Stores that are Efficient and Economical to Operate

 

Our stores follow a standardized format in terms of layout, size, assortment, and personnel. This facilitates operational efficiency and scalable growth. As of December 31, 2025, the size of our stores ranged from smaller than 300 square meters to larger than 450 square meters, with approximately 55.70% between 300 square meters and 450 square meters. The uniformity of our stores enables us to streamline inventory management and optimize staffing and operational processes. Each store’s exterior façade is painted in our corporate colors (red and green) that contrast with the typical street colors for better visibility and promote our brand. The interior of our stores is well lit, with wide and convenient aisles and reduced shelving height that allows store employees to see the full store, which in turn helps control shrinkage and makes restocking quicker and easier.

 

We are generally able to negotiate favorable lease terms when we open new stores, since we do not need to be at the premium location of a given target area. Our store locations are selected based on the ease of accessibility for our clients and unloading our trucks for stocking. Our rents are fixed, increase with inflation and on average represent 2.0% of a store’s sales.

 

Convenient Store Locations for our Customers

 

Depending on the specific characteristics of each location, we tailor our store placements for both urban and non-urban settings. In urban areas, we position our stores in the heart of neighborhoods. This strategic placement aligns with our vision to reduce time and costs for families, making our stores readily accessible for daily needs and enabling frequent visits. In non-urban areas, we seek to be at the confluence of traffic, at major intersections, or in places where the inhabitants of a wider geography come to fulfill their grocery shopping.

 

Geographical Presence

 

We opened our first store in Mexico City and have since expanded primarily in the central region of Mexico. As of December 31, 2025, we were present in Mexico City, State of Mexico, Hidalgo, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Morelos, Querétaro, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Guerrero, Veracruz, Aguascalientes, Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí and Oaxaca. We believe the concentrated density of our geographic footprint illustrates our operational discipline.

 

Our real estate efforts are led by seasoned teams with many years of combined experience. Each of our regions has its own real estate team which is familiar with the local market and demand dynamics. The teams follow a standard and disciplined approach to searching, appraising, negotiating, and closing real estate transactions. Each region decides on its new store locations and each regional director approves new stores without the need to get headquarters’ approval, to the extent they adhere to our real estate guidelines.

 

As we open stores in new regions, the number of real estate teams increases and so does our ability to increase the rate of store openings. We will continue to increase the density of stores in the areas in which we currently operate, while seeking to expand and increase our penetration in the near term in neighboring states to those where we operate.

31


 

 

Our geographical presence is shown below:

 

img95795954_5.gif

 

 

Standard Store Operations

 

Our stores are open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week, all year round. A typical store is operated by a store manager, two assistant managers, and a team of four sales associates on average. The store manager is responsible for managing and developing their team, ordering, restocking, serving and selling to customers, maintaining operating standards, and executing any in-store communication/marketing campaigns. A District Manager manages between five and eight stores and, in turn, reports to a Zone Manager who oversees 40 to 80 stores. The Zone Manager reports to the Regional Director who manages all aspects of his/her region.

 

All our products are presented in their original boxes, as delivered by our suppliers. The order of the display of products is identical in each store. This convenient layout increases our productivity by reducing the number of hours worked by our employees, as we do not need them to unpack individual packages or create and maintain merchandise displays. Additionally, our use of pallet stocking allows us to restock our products quickly and easily.

 

Our Products & Suppliers

 

Types of Products We Carry

 

Our stores carry the leading brand products in their most popular size, as well as our private label products that we believe are of equivalent or better quality but at a lower price. In addition, we offer spot products: these are quality food and non-food products such as clothing, electronics, household goods and others. We introduce an assortment of approximately 40 spot products every two weeks on average, that offer notably high value for money and higher gross profit margins. They add a treasure hunt factor to our stores. We call them “Los Irrepetibles” as they are offered at prices so low that they will not be “repeated” (replenished) once we sell out.

32


 

 

Sourcing of Our Portfolio of Products

Each Tiendas 3B store carries approximately 850 to 900 SKUs, as compared to 3,000 SKUs for a convenience store and approximately 10,000 or more SKUs for a conventional supermarket based on analysis of publicly available information. Our high purchasing power develops strong supplier relationships which in turn translates to better payment terms and lower purchasing costs that allow us to maintain our low prices, which in turn boosts sales. Our non-private label products are sourced directly form leading consumer good suppliers in Mexico.

 

Our private label products are developed with manufacturer partners. These are carefully selected for their ability to provide high-quality products and scale production to meet demand, their efficiency, and their belief in our business model. We seek to build long-term partnerships with transparent pricing, proactively planning future manufacturing capacity and consulting on improved technologies.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2025, we purchased products from 327 suppliers, with our largest supplier accounting for 3.6% of our total purchases, and the five largest suppliers accounting for 16.5% of our total purchases.

 

Our private label products are developed and designed largely by our in-house purchasing team, who are fully responsible for all aspects of the product. Our purchasing team is integral to our operations, ensuring that our supply chain is efficient and scales with our growth. The team identifies the required or potential new product, identifies the potential supplier, develops specifications and tests samples, designs the packaging and image, and selects and registers the brand name. Before launching a private label, the team tests it or a proxy product to determine price elasticity and fine tune the design for maximum sales and performance. To launch a product, a marketing and communication campaign is prepared targeting both our clients and our store teams. The purchasing team is tasked with developing enduring partnerships with our private label product suppliers in order to ensure supply chain synchronization, quality consistency and costs efficiencies.

 

Pricing

 

Our pricing policy is designed to attract new customers and retain existing ones. We endeavor to sell our products at the lowest possible prices. We minimize our operating costs throughout all aspects of the value chain, from site selection, store layout, merchandise selection, purchasing, staffing, distribution, and management. These savings are passed on to our customers by reducing the price of our products.

 

In order to ensure that our pricing remains competitive, we regularly monitor our competitors’ prices based on an index we have established for our top 250 SKUs by sales. We compare prices on average once a week. We leverage our private label offering to offer tremendous value for money, typically pricing our products below the price of branded label alternatives in our competitor’s stores on a unit basis.

 

We aim to keep our prices as stable as possible. We react rapidly to price changes by our competitors when warranted but we usually do not respond to short-term offers. We also endeavor to be the last retailer in the market to increase prices based on an increase in the cost of raw materials and the first retailer in the market to decrease prices based on a decrease in the cost of raw materials. Our goal is to gain customer trust and loyalty, especially from value-oriented customers.

 

We adopt a standard price (based on the pricing of our competition and our analysis of price elasticity for each product we sell) for all our stores. When required we will create a special price list to deal with a specific regional requirement to remain the competitive option for our clients.

 

Quality Control

 

Quality control is key to building trust in our private label products and cementing our reputation. We conduct regular laboratory tests to check that contracted specifications are met, relying on well-regarded laboratories in Mexico, such as Cencon and Biofleming. We audit the manufacturing facilities of our suppliers on a regular basis.

 

33


 

We perform quality checks of our products when they arrive at our distribution centers and randomly select samples for further laboratory testing. We also keep samples of every lot received in case we need to investigate a quality-related issue or to send a product to test if it complies with the contracted quality standards.

 

Our Customers

 

Our customer base is largely composed of smart value shoppers—aligned with our slogan “tu despensa inteligente” or “your smart pantry choice.” We serve the low-to middle socioeconomic segments in Mexico, specifically those in the second to ninth income deciles. However, our broader target increasingly encompasses value shoppers across all income brackets. We define our typical customer as anyone who buys groceries, primarily focusing on those looking for value for money, a convenient and pleasant shopping experience, and minimizing transportation costs.

 

Approximately 90.6% of our customers are women, primarily between the ages of 30 and 60. Most are homemakers (47.7%), followed by employed individuals (26.5%) and small merchants or shopkeepers (11.6%). New customers initially buy in our stores because of the competitive pricing of our branded and spot products. Over time, however, as they become more familiar with our offering, customers begin to try our private label products, which eventually become their preferred choice for their mix of value and quality.

 

The shopping experience is typically localized, as most customers live within a 10-street (800-meter) radius of their favored store. They visit our stores three to four times a week, purchasing enough for a maximum of two days. For items we currently do not offer, like fresh fruits and vegetables, they complete their shopping needs within the neighborhood.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We price our products at the lowest sustainable price and for simplicity maintain standard price lists across all our stores. Our products do not go on sale and any promotional activity does not involve changes in prices. The one exception being the end-of-life products that get heavily discounted.

 

We have a no-questions-asked no-receipt needed money-back return policy. To instill customer confidence in our product offering, we allow customers to return any product if they are dissatisfied with it, with no questions asked and without requiring a receipt. This marketing strategy allows customers to test our private label products and break ingrained consumption patterns associated with very traditional brands.

 

We do not engage in material levels of advertising. We prefer to invest in offering the lowest price possible for our customers. Our marketing strategy is low-cost and efficient, consisting mostly of in-store advertising using our radio channel and displaying posters with impactful messages. We selectively use flyers for new store openings and to promote seasonal products. We conduct activation campaigns where for two weeks we display a given private label product at the end of the check-out counter (without any additional discount). Our preference remains to skip initiatives that add costs and instead focus on lower prices to drive customer loyalty. Word of mouth remains our most potent marketing tool.

 

Seasonality

Since our products mostly consist of food staples, our sales are not generally affected by seasonality. Variations in our performance from quarter to quarter are generally a consequence of store openings and holidays. Therefore, the results for a given quarter may not be indicative of results expected for the entire year.

 

Logistics

 

Consistent with our efficiency focused operational ethos, we have built efficient distribution and fulfillment capabilities. Our decentralized organization is built around autonomous regions. Each region has a distribution center and its own truck fleet that serves its stores, as described in “Item 4. Information on the Company–D. Property, plants and equipment.” This decentralization reduces complexity and therefore costs, including logistics costs.

34


 

 

Operations and Decision-Making

 

We have a decentralized and lean organizational structure built around autonomous regions, each led by a Regional Director. Each region consists of up to 200 stores and a distribution center. A region has all the functional areas it needs to operate autonomously. These include human resources, real estate, logistics, IT and regional purchasing and accounting. All regions are similarly sized, organized and operated.

img95795954_6.jpg

Sales and Operations

 

Each region typically has three Zone Managers, each of whom is responsible for 40 to 80 stores. The Zone Manager reports directly to the Regional Director on all matters related to store operations and sales. A Zone Manager is responsible for ensuring the efficient operations of stores and for their maintenance and must visit each of their stores at least once every two months. Each Zone Manager oversees six to 10 District Managers. A District Manager ensures that the stores’ operations are conducted in compliance with our procedures and rules. They are responsible for visiting each store at least twice a week and monitoring competition and general market conditions, controlling inventories and ordering procedures, and recruiting new store employees.

 

 

Logistics

 

A Distribution Center manager reports directly to the Regional Director and oversees all logistics and fulfillment matters. Their direct reports consist of the heads of receiving, picking, and dispatching and they are responsible for maintaining an efficient and disciplined logistics operation.

 

Human Resources

 

Our regional human resources teams are responsible for recruiting, training, and developing all personnel their region. They monitor and enforce adherence to centrally set human performance indicators, such as turnover rates and specific development tracks for roles like Store Manager, District Manager, Zone Manager and Regional Director. Additionally, they manage the annual training plans and warehouse development programs. When a labor-related issue arises the team actively manages it. The team also assess workplace quality and metrics. Their role is pivotal in maintaining a balanced and effective workforce aligned with our culture and corporate objectives.

 

Real Estate

 

Our regional real estate team is tasked with securing and opening new stores. A significant part of their role is the negotiation of lease terms and ensuring compliance with our unit economic targets for each potential opening site. By maintaining a database of potential locations and competitor insights, they enable data-driven decision-making. The team maintains an open line of communication with district and zone managers, allowing real-time market analysis that informs our broader expansion strategy.

 

35


 

Administration and Accounting

 

Our regional administration and accounting teams primarily focus on operational finances. The team collaborates closely with Zone and District Managers to manage budgets and ensure operational efficiency. They track store-level financial performance indicators such as capital expenditures. They assist in the planning and execution of initiatives like inventory control, labor costs, and expense management. Cash flow and basic accounting tasks are managed to ensure the region’s financial health. Their work acts as the financial backbone for the region, aiding in tactical decision-making while aligning with the company’s broader objectives.

 

Purchasing

 

The regional purchasing team is responsible for executing purchase orders based on demand forecasts and supplier lead times, as well as for maintaining optimum inventory levels in the region. To meet regional tastes, they manage a portfolio of up to 10 regional SKUs, and are responsible for negotiating, purchasing, and managing these products. The team actively participates in bi-weekly and monthly operational meetings to address concerns and propose improvements. Their activities are integral to ensuring smooth and cost-efficient operations.

 

IT Support

 

The regional IT Support team ensures the seamless operation of information and communication systems by resolving technical issues and incidents in computing equipment. The team performs remote and on-site troubleshooting. They also execute preventive maintenance and are in charge of any regional special projects.

 

Our Regional Directors meet with the members of our Operation Committee every quarter. At these meetings, the Regional Managers discuss issues affecting their regions and make decisions that will be applied across the company.

 

Our Headquarters

Our central office (headquarters) is located in Mexico City and is home to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Director of Sales and Operations, Directors of Purchasing, Director of Human Resources, Director of Information Technology, Director of Real Estate and General Counsel.

Regulatory Considerations

Our business and operations are subject to various laws and regulations as well as local governmental authorizations to open and operate our stores. Our Mexican subsidiary’s operations are primarily governed by the Mexican Corporations Law and associated provisions, while real estate property leasing activities in Mexico are governed by the Mexican Constitution, state civil codes, and various laws and regulations, which provide a legal framework for the use, operation, and transfer of real estate properties in Mexico, including environmental matters.

We are also subject to the provisions contained in the Mexican Intellectual Property Law (Ley de Propiedad Industrial) with respect to the use of our trademarks, and to the Mexican General Health Law (Ley General de Salud) and the Mexican Official Standards (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas) for the health and safety practices involved in the preparation, distribution and sale of food products. Our failure to comply with any of these laws and norms may result in the imposition of administrative penalties, including fines and the temporary or permanent closure of our facilities. We believe that as of this date we are in substantial compliance with all such laws and norms.

More specifically, we and the various properties we lease and which are used as stores or warehouses are primarily subject to, among other federal, state and municipal statutes, the following Mexican laws and regulations:

Mexican Constitution;
Mexican Corporations Law;
Federal Law on Economic Competition;
Federal Law for Protection of the Consumer;
Federal Law for the Protection of Industrial Property;
Federal Roads, Bridges and Auto Transport Law;
Civil codes of the states in which our stores and distribution centers are located and in which we operate;
Civil Protection Law of the states in which our stores are located and in which we operate;
General Law on Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection, and its implementing regulations;
General Law for the Prevention and Comprehensive Management of Waste;
Expropriation Law;

37


 

General Waters Law;
General Law on Circular Economy;
General Law on National Property;
Local and municipal environmental, land-use, and zoning regulations, and tax legislation and implementing regulations; and
Mexican Official Standards (NOMs), including with respect to food packaging and labeling.

Local Laws and Regulations

Our stores are subject to various local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and other restrictions imposed by local authorities or private community organizations may restrict the use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from such bodies at any time with respect to our stores, including prior to developing such properties or when developing or undertaking renovations of our stores. As part of the development process, we are required to obtain the applicable land use certificates, construction permits, operating licenses and fire and safety approvals from the Civil Protection Office (Oficina de Protección Civil).

Expropriation

None of our stores have been expropriated to date. However, under the Expropriation Law, the government has the power to expropriate or temporarily occupy in whole or in part any land or real estate property inside Mexican territory. Expropriation may be carried out in the public interest or for national security reasons. In the event of expropriation, the owner is to be paid compensation, we as tenants would not have the right to directly receive any compensation if the land where a store is located is expropriated. If there is disagreement as to the amount payable as compensation, a judicial authority may be asked to determine such amount. There is no clear definition as to when a compensation payment for the expropriation of any of the properties would be made or as to the payment amount the owner or we as tenants would receive in such event.

Environmental Regulations

As of this date, we do not have environmental certifications of any kind. The construction and operation of our stores and distribution centers may be subject to the Mexican General Law on Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (Ley General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente, or the “Mexican General Environmental Law”) and the related implementing regulations, the General Law for the Prevention and Comprehensive Management of Waste (Ley General para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos) and the related implementing regulations, the General Waters Law (Ley General de Aguas) and the related implementing regulations, the General Law on Circular Economy (Ley General de Economía Circular) and the related implementing regulations, the Regulations for Environmental Protection Against Noise Pollution (Reglamento para la Protección del Ambiente contra la Contaminación Originada por la Emisión de Ruido), the General Law for Sustainable Forest Development (Ley General de Desarrollo Forestal Sustentable), the General Law on Wildlife (Ley General de Vida Silvestre), the General Law on Climate Change (Ley General de Cambio Climático), numerous Mexican Official Standards (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas), and other federal, state and municipal environmental laws and regulations and agency agreements where our stores and/or facilities are located or could be developed (collectively, “Environmental Laws”).

The Mexican General Environmental Law generally sets forth the legal framework applicable to the environmental impact procedure as well as the release of contaminants into the environment. The regulations that have been issued pursuant to this law affect ecological planning, risk assessment and environmental impact, air pollution, protected natural areas, protection of flora and fauna, preservation and prudent use of natural resources and soil pollution, among others. Additionally, the Mexican General Law for the Prevention and Comprehensive

38


 

Management of Waste regulates the generation and handling of hazardous waste and materials as well as the release of contaminants into the environment.

Non-compliance with the Environmental Laws may result in the imposition of administrative fines or sanctions, remedial actions, revocations of authorizations, licenses, or permits, administrative arrests, temporary or permanent closure of facilities, or imprisonment, when environmental violations are classified as criminal offenses.

In our process of developing stores and distribution centers, our approach is to adhere to an environmental management system and certain environmental guidelines. While we cannot assure you that in all cases, we are and will be in full compliance with all laws, we believe that the stores and distribution centers that we develop: (i) do not represent a significant environmental risk, (ii) have all relevant material permits and authorizations, and (iii) comply with all applicable Environmental Laws.

Compliance and Controls

We are fully committed to maintaining strong compliance and controls for financial reporting, as evidenced by the measures currently being implemented. The Company recognizes the significance of accurate and reliable financial information in building investor trust. To establish a robust internal control framework, the Company has conducted a comprehensive assessment of potential risks and documented them meticulously. While we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not currently effective due to certain material weaknesses, key control activities are being designed and implemented to mitigate these risks and ensure the completeness and accuracy of financial reporting. In addition, information and communication channels are being strengthened to promote timely and accurate reporting. The Company’s proactive approach to compliance and controls underscores its commitment to upholding high standards of transparency and adherence to relevant laws and regulatory requirements. For more information about our compliance program and control procedures, see "Item 15. Controls and Procedures."

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

From time to time, we are or may become involved in disputes that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. We are subject to several legal proceedings, including civil and labor claims, which we generally believe are common and incidental to business operations in Mexico.

We record provisions, if any, based on our external and in-house counsel’s assessment of the likelihood of loss as well as the history of similar and related proceedings. Our financial statements reflect the provisions for legal proceedings in accordance with accounting rules when our external counsel advises that (i) an outflow of resources is probable to settle the obligation and (ii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Our provisions for probable losses arising from legal proceedings are estimated and periodically adjusted by management after consideration of the opinions of our external counsel.

As of December 31, 2025, we had not recorded any provisions in connection with legal proceedings based on probable loss. However, legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. If one or more cases result in a judgment against us in any reporting period for amounts that exceed our management’s expectations, the impact on our operating results or financial condition for that reporting period could be material. See “Item 3. Key Information–D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—Our operations are subject to the general risks of litigation.”

On February 1, 2023, the Mexican tax authority (Servicio de Administración Tributaria, or the “SAT”) commenced an audit of our tax return for the fiscal year ended 2018. In the process of that audit the SAT questioned certain deductions and requested additional information relating thereto. The Company has now satisfied all of the SAT’s information requests in connection with the audit, and on August 12, 2025 the SAT issued a Final Audit Report documenting its findings. The SAT’s report confirmed the validity of the Company's tax deductions, subject

39


 

only to minor qualifications. As of the date of this annual report, the audit is resolved, with no material outstanding liabilities or pending litigation.

Intellectual Property

Our most important brands, slogans and logos are protected by trademarks in Mexico through registration with the Mexican Industrial Property Institute (Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial). Protection of a trademark in Mexico continues for as long as the brand is registered and used. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,780 owned brand files and registries in Mexico. In addition, within Mexico our licensors register their own brands granting us the right to use them within the territory.

C.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Company is a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The Company has no material operations of its own and substantially all of its operations are conducted through the Company’s Mexican subsidiary. Holders of Class A common shares own equity interests in the British Virgin Islands holding company, and not in such Mexican subsidiary. We indirectly hold 100% equity interests in our Mexican subsidiary.

The following chart and the information set forth in the following paragraph presents the key elements of our corporate structure, including our principal shareholder and principal subsidiaries.

Bolton Partners Ltd., our principal shareholder, owns approximately 45.2% of the combined voting power of our outstanding common shares, and therefore has significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval. However, the foregoing does not include (i) Class C common shares that are held by our principal shareholder and our directors and officers in respect of both unvested and vested (but currently unexercisable) stock options, (ii) Class A common shares in respect of both unvested and vested (but in either case unexercised) stock options and unvested RSUs granted under our Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan or (iii) unvested delayed-delivery awards or allocations under the Liquidity Event Share Plan and Bolton Share Allocation, as applicable. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions–A. Major Shareholders.”

D.
PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

Properties

As of December 31, 2025, we owned two properties, currently used or expected to be used in our operations. Our remaining 3,345 stores, office space and distribution centers are leased from a wide array of landlords. No landlord represents more than 4.8% of our lease expense. We believe that having a diffuse landlord base allows us to achieve better commercial lease terms. Each of our leases follows a standard form governed by Mexican law and typically provides for an initial 10-year term. Subject to applicable local law, renewals are typically negotiated for an additional 10-year period. In addition, each lease contains exit provisions that grant us the right to terminate the relevant lease at our discretion. To minimize our initial store expenditures, we typically only advance two months of rent and give one month of rent as a security deposit. In some jurisdictions, the local civil code additionally requires that the landlord grant us a right of first refusal in the event they decide to sell the relevant property to a third party.

 

Distribution Centers

We believe we are highly efficient with our logistics and distributions infrastructure without sacrificing service and speed. As of December 31, 2025, we operated 20 distribution centers. Each can serve up to 200 stores typically within a 150-kilometer radius, with a capacity to stretch up to a 200-kilometer radius. When the number of total stores served by any given distribution center approaches the 150-store mark, we proceed to open a new distribution center nearby and redistribute the stores to optimize distances and routing.

Our distribution centers are on average 13,050 square meters, with additional space for a maneuvering yard. Each distribution center carries the vast majority of the SKUs we sell, including refrigerated items. Frozen items, a relatively new category, are being rolled out to all our stores gradually as we build frozen refrigeration in our distribution centers.

Our distribution centers are designed to be efficient and reduce the amount of man hours required to move our products: we use cross-docking whenever possible, layouts which allocate space depending on inventory turnover, and floor storage instead of racks, as this is more efficient for fast-moving SKUs.

The main operations and process of our distribution center consist of:

Receiving

After placing an order with our suppliers, a receiving appointment is made, with a receiving dock reserved, and a receiving team programmed to unload the order when it arrives. The process is designed to take up the least amount of time possible from the moment our supplier arrives at the distribution center to the moment it leaves.

Picking

Store orders are processed overnight and ready to pick up in the morning. Pickers receive their “pick lists” on their mobile devices, which tell them what to pick. Once an item is picked up, the order is updated and confirmed on the mobile device. This system, tailor-made to support our process, allows for accurate and quick picking. In addition, we incentivize efficient picking by giving picking speed and accuracy bonuses to our pickers.

Store fulfillment

Once the order of a store has been picked, it is checked and palletized ready to be loaded in the truck that will deliver the order to the store that same day.

The proximity of our distribution centers to our stores allows for optimal re-stocking frequency and route planning. Store restocking frequency is dynamic and ranges from twice a week to daily and depends on sales volumes. We fulfill store orders one day after an order is placed. A single truck can visit up to four stores per day.

41


 

As of December 31, 2025, we operated a fleet of 450 same-model trucks and 1,303 utility vehicles for our District Managers, Zone Managers and other personnel. Standardization simplifies truck management and operations thus reducing costs. For security and for key performance indicator management, we monitor our fleet through real-time geographic positioning, live video, and dual-way audio.

A fundamental part of our logistics operation is our drivers. We provide a comprehensive 385-hour training program where the operator is taught skills covering mechanics, driver education, regulations, and service culture. Since December 31, 2023, our academy has become compulsory for all our drivers to ensure better logistics efficiency, timeliness and safety.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements for several reasons, including those described under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors” and other issues discussed herein.

The following analysis and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, together with the notes thereto, in each case included elsewhere in this annual report, as well as the information set forth under “Presentation of Financial and Other Information.” Our consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Mexican pesos, except as otherwise specified.

A.
OPERATING RESULTS

Overview

We are pioneers and leaders of the grocery hard discount model in Mexico and one of the fastest growing retailers in the country as measured by our sales and store growth rates. From 2022 to 2025, our total revenue grew at a CAGR of 35.6%, reaching Ps.78.2 billion (US$4.4 billion) for 2025, and our number of stores increased from 1,500 as of December 31, 2021 to 3,346 as of year-end 2025, which represents a CAGR of 22.2%.

Our business model is simple yet disruptive: we offer a limited assortment of products that cover the daily grocery needs of our clients. We price our products to offer what is generally market-leading value for money: the lowest sustainable price in the market for a given quality. Our stores also offer convenience, since they are generally located within central neighborhoods that allow for daily visits and minimize transportation needs for our customers. Our customers visit us on average three to four times per week to fulfill one or two days of groceries.

The Tiendas 3B product range consists of approximately 850 to 900 SKUs of branded, private label and spot products.

Branded products are well known national and international brand label goods that we offer at the lowest sustainable price in the market to attract customers and drive traffic. For 2024 and 2025, branded products represented 40.6% and 35.9% of our sales, respectively.
Private label products are products that we have developed ourselves and which we believe are of comparable or better quality than the equivalent branded alternative offered at our stores. For 2024 and 2025, private label products represented 53.6% and 58.2% of our sales, respectively.
Spot products are quality food and non-food products that we offer in addition to our regularly stocked products. These are offered in limited amounts and offer exceptional value. The selection changes

42


 

every two weeks on average. For 2024 and 2025, our spot products represented 5.7% and 5.7% of our sales, respectively.

This discussion, which presents our results for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, together with the notes thereto, in each case included elsewhere in this annual report. We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period and the primary factors that accounted for those changes. We also discuss certain performance metrics that management uses to assess our performance.

Components of Our Results of Operations

The following is a summary of the principal line items comprising consolidated statements of profit or loss.

Revenue from Sales of Merchandise

Revenue from sales of merchandise represents the sale of products to customers net of returns made by customers. Additionally, revenue from sales of merchandise includes net revenues earned from service fees and commissions collected from clients that make payments to third parties at our stores such as cell-phone providers and utilities.

Sales of Recyclables

Sales of recyclables includes sales of ancillary materials used in our day-to-day operations, such as cardboard and stretch film, net of costs of delivery of these products based on established contractual terms and conditions.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales represents the cost of merchandise that is sold at our, stores including logistics costs incurred in bringing each product to the final point of sale and warehousing costs, as well as depreciation of properties, furniture, equipment and lease-hold improvements, right-of-use assets and shrinkage.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to revenue from sales of merchandise and sales of recyclables net of cost of sales.

Sales Expenses

Sales expenses generally consist of expenses relating to our stores and the operation of our stores, including wages and salaries of store employees, depreciation of properties, furniture, equipment and lease-hold improvements and right-of-use assets, amortization of intangible assets, energy expenses, social security contributions relating to store employees, maintenance and conservation expenses and cash-in-transit services.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses generally consist of expenses relating to headquarters, regional offices and the back office, including wages and salaries of administrative employees, depreciation, and amortization, energy, social security contributions of administrative employees, payments relating to options granted under our share-based compensation plan, administrative services, advertising expenses, corporate services, maintenance and conservation expenses and professional fees.

43


 

Other Income—Net

Other income includes a variety of income streams, including revenues from asset disposals, reimbursement of costs, and insurance proceeds, among others.

Operating Profit

Operating profit is equal to gross profit net of sales expenses, administrative expenses, plus other income—net.

Financial Income

Financial income is comprised of interest generated on accounts or investments held by us.

Financial Costs

Financial costs are comprised principally of interest on lease liabilities, promissory notes, convertible notes and the financing of transportation and store equipment, including through reverse factoring arrangements we have entered into with Santander and HSBC.

Exchange Rate Fluctuation

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect on the transactions dates. Gains and losses on exchange fluctuations resulting from such transactions and for conversion at the exchange rates at the end of the year of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized as exchange rate fluctuation gain or loss. After our IPO, we keep U.S. dollars deriving from the IPO proceeds on our balance sheet, which contributes to our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.

Revenue from Sales of Merchandise

Revenue from sales of merchandise increased 36.1% to Ps.78,044,107 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.57,333,327 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. Most of our growth was driven by sales from stores that have been operating for more than one year, and, to a lesser extent, the incremental sales from 574 net new stores opened in 2025. During 2025 we experienced a 23.0% increase in the number of transactions, which increased to 825 million from 671 million in 2024 and also an increase in average ticket, from Ps.85.4 to Ps.94.9, a gain of 11.0%, mostly driven by an increase in items per ticket. Same Store Sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 18.3%.

Sales of Recyclables

Sales of recyclables increased 3.0% to Ps.108,836 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.105,692 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in sales, offset by a decrease in the cardboard price per ton.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased 36.3% to Ps.65,509,469 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.48,062,913 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was attributable mainly to an increase in sales in existing stores and new stores and was proportional to the increase in revenue from sales of merchandise. Our cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was 83.8% and 83.7% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 34.8% to Ps.12,643,474 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.9,376,106 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024, and our gross profit margin, calculated as gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, was 16.2% and 16.3% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Sales Expenses

Sales expenses increased 32.7% to Ps.8,122,907 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.6,121,566 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our sales expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 10.4% from 10.7% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in sales expenses was less pronounced than the increase in revenue from sales of merchandise and largely derived from the opening of new stores, an increase in headcount required to operate new stores, and to the effects of wage inflation.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses increased 156.4% to Ps.5,094,478 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.1,987,075 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, were 6.5% and 3.5% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in administrative expenses was principally due to (i) the hiring of additional headquarters personnel to support growth, and (ii) expansion of regional operations as we opened new regions. In addition, on June 24, 2025 our board of directors formally granted the 7,500,000 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") each equal to one Class C common share under our Liquidity Event Share Plan to the plan participants, which we recognize as an expense on a reverse gradient basis over the 12-quarter vesting period. Expenses recognized in respect of grants under our share-based compensation plan during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were Ps.2,930,222 thousand and Ps.523,143 thousand, respectively.

Other (Expense) Income-Net

45


 

Other expense–net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was Ps.101,319 thousand, as compared to other income-net of Ps.61,044 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year change primarily reflects the impact of a one-time write-off of an account receivable booked in the final three months of 2025. As a percentage of total revenue, other income (expense)–net remained flat at 0.1% in 2025 compared to 2024.

Operating (Loss) Profit

Operating profit decreased 150.8% resulting in an operating loss of Ps.675,230 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from an operating profit Ps.1,328,509 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing (0.9)% and 2.3% of total revenue for each year. The operating loss in 2025 was primarily driven by increased share-based payment expense recognition compared to 2024. In addition, operating results were impacted by strategic investments in new regions and initiatives aimed at strengthening the Company’s talent pool.

Financial Income

Financial income increased 10.8% to Ps.172,674 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.155,863 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to interest income earned from investing the net proceeds received from our IPO.

Financial Costs

Financial costs increased 20.0% to Ps.1,508,313 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.1,257,254 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the lease payments in connection with incremental lease agreements for our expanding store base of Ps.1,420,187 thousand and Ps.1,072,774 thousand, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Exchange Rate Fluctuation

Exchange rate fluctuation was a loss of Ps.384,951 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a gain of Ps.490,428 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss was driven by the appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the year ended December 31, 2025. Given our net exposure to U.S.-dollar-denominated financial assets, primarily short-term bank deposits of our IPO proceeds, we recognize a loss upon translating the dollar value of those assets into Mexican pesos. See Notes 13 and 14 to our financial statements as of December 31, 2025 for further information.

Financial Costs-Net

For the reasons described above, financial costs – net increased 181.6% to Ps.1,720,590 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.894,768 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(Loss) Profit Before Income Tax

For the reasons described above, loss before income tax was Ps. 2,395,820 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to a profit before income tax of Ps.717,546 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased 15.8% to Ps.443,751 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 from Ps.383,124 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. This change was due to an increase in taxable profits in our subsidiaries, which led to a higher annual effective tax rate that was partially offset by increased expenditures and tax benefits.

Net (Loss) Profit for the Period

46


 

For the reasons described above, net loss was Ps.2,839,571 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to a net profit of Ps.334,422 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023

For a discussion related to our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, refer to "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–A. Operating Results" in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2025.

B.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is based on the financial information derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, included elsewhere in this annual report.

Overview

Liquidity represents our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet our obligations as well as our ability to obtain appropriate financing.

As a result of our inventory and account payables management strategy, we generally rely on our positive cash flow dynamics as a source of financing for our operations and expansion. We have historically benefited from our working capital dynamic driven from our favorable payable terms relative to the high rotation of our inventory and minimal receivable balances, as most of our sales from merchandise are received in cash at the time of sale. As a result, we can generate a significant amount of negative working capital from such timing differences. Our negative working capital for 2025 and 2024 was Ps.5,876,142 thousand and Ps.2,633,277 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our total current assets amounted to Ps.9,726,148 thousand and Ps.8,554,139 thousand, respectively.

We have also used certain amounts of short-term and long-term debt with third parties to supplement our cash flows. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our long-term debt with third parties consisted of Ps.141,907 thousand and Ps.106,693 thousand, respectively. In addition, prior to our IPO, our indebtedness for borrowed money included promissory notes (the "Promissory Notes") and convertible notes (the "Convertible Notes") which we incurred to finance our expansion. Most of the Promissory Notes and Convertible Notes were held by related parties, including some of our shareholders. The aggregate amount outstanding under our Promissory Notes and Convertible Notes was repaid in full in 2024 with the proceeds of our IPO.

We have entered into a reverse factoring arrangement with Banco Santander Mexico, S.A. (“Santander”) pursuant to which a participating supplier receives the original invoice amount discounted at an agreed rate, and we pay Santander the original amount of the invoice within 60 days after the supplier collects the invoice from Santander. The aggregate limit of amounts invoiced under this arrangement is Ps.800,000. Pursuant to the terms of this arrangement, we have created a trust that is meant to be an alternative source of payment in the case of a payment default. Cash flows from 419 stores are deposited in a bi-weekly minimum aggregate amount of Ps.300,000 thousand in the trust account as a pass-through and released to our treasury on a daily basis, as long as no payment default occurs. This trust also serves as an alternative source of payment for a revolving credit facility line we entered into with Santander for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.300,000 thousand. See Note 14 to our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this annual report, for more information about this arrangement.

Similary, on June 2, 2023, we and HSBC Mexico, S.A. (“HSBC”) entered into a reverse factoring transaction (the “HSBC Supplier Finance Agreement”) and a credit facility (the “HSBC Credit Line” and, together with the HSBC Supplier Finance Agreement, the “HSBC Agreement”). The original aggregate principal amount financeable under the HSBC Agreement was Ps.450,000 thousand. This amount was increased to Ps.700,000 thousand on June 20, 2024. Effective September 17, 2025, the aggregate principal amount financeable under the

47


 

HSBC Agreement is Ps.1,100,000. Pursuant to the terms of the HSBC Supplier Finance Agreement, participating suppliers may discount their invoices with HSBC, and they will receive the original invoice amount discounted at an agreed rate and we will then pay HSBC the original amount by the earlier of: (x) the date HSBC pays the supplier plus the number of credit days originally agreed to with the supplier, and (y) 90 days after the supplier collects the invoice from HSBC. The supplier elects which invoices are entered into the factoring transaction. Once entered, such invoices are novated and the liability of the Company to cover such invoice is extinguished. Invoices that are not discounted with HSBC are payable to the supplier at the original maturity date. There are no commissions or interests payable to HSBC when invoices are discounted, and only an opening commission of Ps.2,250 thousand was paid for entering into the original agreement. In addition, under the terms of the HSBC Agreement, the Company must comply with certain covenants, including restrictions on dividends. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the HSBC Agreement, we have created a trust that is meant to be an alternative source of payment in the case of a payment default, and into which Ps.880,000 thousand of cash flows have to be deposited (as a pass-through) on the trust each month. However, the deposits are released daily to Tiendas 3B so long as no payment default occurs.

We also maintain a syndicated loan facility, into which we entered on September 10, 2025, with an aggregate principal amount of Ps.1,065,000 thousand, for potential long-term financing needs, with no amounts drawn as of the date of this annual report.

We intend to increase our capital expenditures to support the growth in our business and operations. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and the liquidity provided from other sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months, considering our expected organic growth. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described under “Item 3. Key Information–D. Risk Factors.” In addition, the impact of rising interest rates has adversely affected the cost of borrowing, hedging activities and access to capital in general, which could limit our ability to obtain financing or hedges in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was Ps.4,681,613 thousand, Ps.3,748,537 thousand and Ps.3,140,349 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased by Ps.933,076 thousand compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by improved pre-tax profitability and higher non-cash adjustment items resulting from store expansion.

For information regarding the cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2025.

48


 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities generally consists of expenses and capital expenditures to expand our number of stores and distribution centers, investments in our supply chain, including purchase and sale of property and equipment, and maintenance of existing stores. We expect to continue to use cash to make expenditures to open new stores, renovate existing stores and distribution centers, acquire store equipment and transportation equipment and invest in software.

Net cash used in investing activities was Ps.3,408,882 thousand, Ps.4,907,296 thousand and Ps.1,778,789 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by Ps.1,498,414 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly as we increased our store count by 574 net new stores between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 and added four new distribution centers, leading to increased purchases of property and equipment and of cold rooms.

For information regarding the cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2025.

Net Cash (Used in) Obtained from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities generally consists of transactions related to our short-term and long-term debt and financing obligations. Transactions with non-controlling interest shareholders are also classified as cash flows from financing activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was Ps.1,254,475 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net cash obtained from financing activities of Ps.1,288,113 thousand and used in financing activities of Ps.1,095,692 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities varied negatively by Ps.2,542,588 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to net cash obtained from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly driven by non-recurring items associated with the 2024 IPO—including the payment of principal and accrued interest on promissory notes and capitalized IPO costs—which did not recur in the current year, and partially offset by higher lease payments resulting from our 574 net new store openings between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 and the opening of four distribution centers.

For information regarding the cash flows obtained from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2025.

Capital Expenditures

We make, and expect to continue to make, capital expenditures for store openings, renovation of existing stores and distribution centers, acquisitions of store equipment and transportation equipment, and investments in software.

For the year ending December 31, 2026, we have budgeted capital expenditures of approximately Ps.5,250,000 thousand, including approximately Ps.3,555,000 thousand for opening new stores and approximately Ps.490,000 thousand for opening four new distribution centers, which will be funded through our operating activities.

49


 

Our capital expenditures represented 4.5%%, 4.2% and 4.1% of our total revenue in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 amounted to Ps.3,548,943 thousand, Ps.2,435,695 thousand and Ps.1,798,019 thousand, respectively.

We expect to fund our capital expenditures program with a combination of cash flows from operations and additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that we will have access to external financing sources, to adequately fund such or any future capital expenditures.

Indebtedness

Our indebtedness for borrowed money has in the past consisted of the Promissory Notes and Convertible Notes, which were repaid in full in February 2024 with the proceeds of our IPO. Additionally, we have historically incurred limited amounts of third-party financing for our operations, including supplier financing lines, financial leases of transportation, certain store equipment and a credit facility, which has not been drawn down as of the date hereof.

The table below sets forth selected information regarding our indebtedness corresponding to the Promissory Notes and the Convertible Notes (which were repaid in full in February 2024 with the proceeds of our IPO) as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

Given the nature of the business, the Company’s research and development expenses are not meaningful.

Our most important brands, slogans and logos are protected by trademarks in Mexico through registration with the Mexican Industrial Property Institute (Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial). Protection of a trademark in Mexico continues for as long as the brand is registered and used. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,780 owned brand files and registries in Mexico. In addition, within Mexico our licensors register their own brands granting us the right to use them within the territory.

D.
TREND INFORMATION

Principal Factors Affecting our Results of Operations and Material Trends

Overall economic trends. The overall economic environment and related changes in consumer behavior have a significant impact on our business. Given we focus on consumer staples, shifts in economic conditions may increase or decrease customer spending at our stores. While improvements in economic conditions generally lead to increased spending, our business model naturally hedges against downturns as consumers seek affordability during economically challenging times. When economic conditions improve, we tend to retain these captured customers as they appreciate our focus not only on price but also on quality. Macroeconomic factors that can affect customer spending patterns, and thereby our results of operations, include employment rates, inflation, business conditions, the availability of credit, interest rates, flow of remittances from abroad, tax rates and fuel and energy costs.

Product mix, consumer preferences and demand. Our ability to continue appealing to existing customers and attract new ones depends on our capacity to originate, develop, and offer a compelling product assortment of private labels and branded products that is aligned to customer preferences. Although most of our products are staples, misjudging the market for our products may result in excess inventories or lower sales, impacting our sales growth and profitability.

Materialization of infrastructure investment to support growth. Our historical operating results reflect the impact of our ongoing investments to support our growth, including store expansion investments as well as in our proprietary warehouse and distribution network. We have made significant investments in our business that we believe have laid the foundation for continued profitable growth. We believe that strengthening our management team and enhancing our information systems, including our regional management, will enable us to support our continued growth and allow scaling our profitable business model.

Effective sourcing and distribution of products. Our sales and gross profit are affected by our ability to purchase the products we sell in sufficient quantities at competitive prices. We believe our suppliers have adequate capacity to meet our current and anticipated demand, in part because we collaborate and coordinate closely with them on the development of new private label products. However, our suppliers’ ability to timely manufacture and deliver the products may be subject to various factors, including, among others, changes to the prices and flow of goods and ingredients, logistics disruptions, availability and cost of raw materials and labor disruptions. Any disruption in our supply chain could adversely affect our sales and profitability, including due to an inability to procure and stock sufficient quantities of merchandise to match market demand and our expansion plans resulting in lost sales.

Inflation and deflation trends. Our financial results can be directly impacted by substantial increases in product costs due to commodity cost increases or general inflation, which could lead to a reduction in our sales as well as greater margin pressure if costs cannot be passed on to consumers. To date, changes in general inflation have not materially impacted our business. In response to increasing general inflation, we seek to minimize the impact of such events by sourcing our merchandise from different vendors, changing our product mix and increasing our pricing when necessary.

Natural disasters and unusual weather conditions (whether or not caused by climate change). The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, unusual weather conditions. If any of these events result in the closure, or a limitation on operating hours, of one or more of our distribution centers, a significant number of stores, our sourcing offices, our corporate headquarters or impact one or more of our key suppliers, our operations and financial performance could be materially and adversely affected through an inability or reduced ability to make deliveries or provide other support functions to our stores and through lost sales. These events also could affect consumer shopping patterns or prevent customers from reaching our stores, which could lead to lost sales and higher markdowns, new store or distribution center opening delays, the temporary or long-term disruption of product availability in our stores, the temporary or long-term inability to obtain or access technology needed to effectively run our business and disruption of our utility services or information systems. These events may also increase the costs of insurance if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage by us or in the market more generally. In the past, hurricanes impacting the coast

51


 

of the state of Guerrero caused extensive damage and temporary store closures and a reassessment of our growth plan in that region.

Our directors, executive officers and management in general receive fixed and variable compensation. They also receive benefits generally in line with market practice in Mexico. The fixed component of their compensation is set on market terms and adjusted annually.

The variable component consists of cash bonuses and awards of options to purchase shares. Cash bonuses are paid to executive officers and members of our management based on previously agreed targets for the business and have been approved by the board of directors each year. Options have been awarded under our Legacy Plan and Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan, as discussed below.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the aggregate compensation expense for the members of the board of directors and our executive officers for services in all capacities was Ps.2,929,645 thousand, which includes both share-based payments and cash compensation.

Legacy Plan

We have a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, dated as of July 15, 2004 (as amended) (the “Legacy Plan” or the "2004 Option Plan") pursuant to which we have granted options to purchase Class C common shares of the Company to certain employees, directors and other service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries. The share options are generally subject to time-based vesting requirements and generally vest over a five-year period, with 25% of the share options vesting at the end of each of the second, third, fourth and fifth calendar year following the calendar year in which they were granted (subject to continued employment and service requirements) (the “Common Options”). In connection with our IPO, our board of directors agreed to accelerate the vesting of all Common Options that were issued during or prior to December 2020 to the extent that such Common Options were outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the closing of our IPO.

We have also issued certain exit options under the Legacy Plan to senior management and to current and former members of the board of directors. They are identical in terms to the Common Options granted under the Legacy Plan, except that they vest immediately upon the occurrence of a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering by the Company (the “Exit Options” and, together with the Common Options, the “Stock Options”). Accordingly, all of the Exit Options vested upon our IPO. Share numbers presented in this section were calculated after giving effect to a 3-for-1 share split carried out in connection with our IPO.

The maximum number of Class C common shares that were issuable under the Legacy Plan was 45,000,000 Class C common shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Legacy Plan.

As of December 31, 2025, a total of 37,745,312 Class C common shares are issuable upon the exercise of Stock Options granted under our Legacy Plan, of which 30,824,335 Class C common shares correspond to Common Options and 6,920,977 correspond to Exit Options. Of the 30,824,335 Class C common shares corresponding to Common Options, 22,065,176 correspond to Stock Options that are fully vested (including the Common Options for which vesting was accelerated). All of our Exit Options are vested as of the date hereof.

The table below sets forth the number of Class C common shares issuable upon the exercise of Common Options granted per year (net of forfeitures) and the weighted average strike prices of the Class C common shares subject to Common Options (considering the 3-for-1 share split effected in connection with our IPO).

Since the Class C common shares were subject to restrictions on sale for a period of 180 days after the date of the prospectus relating to our IPO, and are subject to additional restrictions for a further 24 months following such 180-day period, our board determined that any vested Stock Options issued under the Legacy Plan cannot be exercised until the earliest to occur of (1) the conversion of Class C common shares pursuant to the initial exercise of registration rights under our memorandum and articles of association, (2) July 8, 2026, (3) upon and in connection with any business combination or offer to acquire the Company that would represent a change in control of the Company, which will result in the automatic acceleration of all vested options, and (4) the conversion of Class C common shares into Class A common shares upon the affirmative vote of holders representing at least 75% of the votes of the Class B common shares and Class C common shares voting as a single class (provided that such conversion does not take place within 18 months of the date of the prospectus relating to our IPO).

Liquidity Event Shares

Our board of directors adopted a plan in 2023 pursuant to which certain members of senior management and Bolton Partners Ltd., a vehicle affiliated with Mr. Hatoum, would become eligible to receive incremental equity compensation upon consummation of our IPO, subject to certain targets of enterprise valuation being met (the “Liquidity Event Share Plan”). The board of directors approved 7,500,000 RSUs each equal to one Class C common share to be allocated by the Company’s CEO among Bolton Partners Ltd. and his direct reports. On June 24, 2025, our board formally granted the 7,500,000 RSUs to the plan’s participants and our board of directors also determined it was in the best interest of the Company primarily in relation to talent retention to subject the award to 12 quarterly vestings over a three-year period. As of December 31, 2025, 1,875,000 Class C common shares are fully vested.

Bolton Share Allocation

Pursuant to the terms of the 2004 shareholders’ agreement as in effect prior to our IPO, Bolton Partners Ltd., a vehicle affiliated with Mr. Hatoum, was entitled to receive Class C common shares of the Company

59


 

following the consummation of our IPO (the “Bolton Partners Share Allocation”). 4,224,960 Class C shares were allocated to Bolton Partners and are subject to delayed delivery.

2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors has adopted, and our shareholders have approved, an equity incentive plan (the “Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan”) prior to the completion of our IPO, in order to provide a means through which to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. Awards under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan may be granted to any (i) individual employed by the Company or its subsidiaries (other than those U.S. employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement unless and to the extent that such eligibility is set forth in such collective bargaining agreement or similar agreement); (ii) director of the Company or its subsidiaries; or (iii) consultant or advisor to the Company or its subsidiaries who may be offered securities registrable pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act. The Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee or such other committee of our board of directors to which it has properly delegated power, or if no such committee or subcommittee exists, our board of directors.

Under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan, 8,400,000 Class A common shares were initially reserved for issuance. Each award granted under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan will reduce the plan share reserve by the number of common shares underlying the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the plan share reserve shall be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year following the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 by a number of common shares equal to the lesser of (i) 2.0% of all outstanding common shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (ii) the number of common shares as may be determined by our board of directors. However, in the third quarter of 2025, our board of directors resolved that the number of Class A common shares to be added to the share plan reserve would be zero for the fiscal year starting January 1, 2026, such that the plan share reserve will not increase on such date from the plan share reserve available on December 31, 2025.

All awards granted under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan will vest and/or become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Compensation Committee. Awards available for grant under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan include non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, restricted common shares, restricted stock units, other equity-based awards tied to the value of our Class A common shares, and cash-based awards.

Awards other than cash-based awards are generally subject to adjustment in the event of (i) any dividend (other than regular cash dividends) or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of common shares or other securities, or other similar transactions or events, or (ii) unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, including changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirement. In addition, in connection with any change in control, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for any one or more of the following: (i) a substitution or assumption of, acceleration of the vesting of, the exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions on, any one or more outstanding awards and (ii) cancellation of any one or more outstanding awards and payment to the holders of such awards that are vested as of such cancellation (including any awards that would vest as a result of the occurrence of such event but for such cancellation) the value of such awards, if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Our board of directors of directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan or any portion thereof at any time, but no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination may be made without shareholder approval if (i) such approval is required under applicable law; (ii) it would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan (except for adjustments in connection with certain corporate events); or (iii) it would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan. Any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant or any holder or beneficiary of any award will not to that extent be effective without such individual’s consent.

All awards granted under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan are subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy

60


 

adopted by our board of directors or the Compensation Committee and as in effect from time to time and (ii) applicable law.

As of December 31, 2025, a total of 4,090,000 Class A common shares are issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted under our Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan, of which 347,500 Class A common shares correspond to Stock Options that are fully vested. These stock options vest over four years, with 25.0% vesting at the end of each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price will be the closing price of our Class A common shares on the grant date. The table below sets forth the number of Class A common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted per year and the weighted average strike price.

EMPLOYEES

Human Capital and Our Culture

At the heart of our corporate culture are our core values: trustworthiness, honesty, and modesty. We view these values as central to our past success and future aspirations. We strive to instill these values in all our employees and suppliers to improve the communities where we operate. As of December 31, 2025, of our 29,202 employees, 5,638 were employed in our warehouses and distribution centers, 23,062 were employed at our stores and 502 were employed in our corporate offices. We endeavor to provide competitive compensation and benefits that attract and retain top-tier talent and are committed to promoting diversity among our teams through an inclusive culture that seeks to integrate people from different parts of the world that enrich and support efforts to meet business objectives.

We prioritize continuous learning and development for our employees. In 2018, we introduced “University 3B” ("U3B" or “Universidad 3B”), which supports onboarding, role-based certifications and training programs. Through U3B, employees are automatically enrolled in mandatory training aligned to their job title, ensuring consistency, compliance and rapid integration of new personnel into our operating model. Universidad 3B offers over 100 learning modules, from theoretical insights to practical applications, covering key areas such as our business model, process protocols, safety guidelines, exclusive brand knowledge and role-specific certifications. This platform enables scalable, standardized learning while reinforcing our culture of operational excellence.

In order to cultivate leadership, we have developed a specialized program to accelerate the growth of key-talent within our organization. During this 78-hour program, we focus on key leadership and managerial capabilities, including team supervision, management decision-making, information management and analytical skills. This initiative has led to the promotion of at least 81 employees to managerial positions in the two years prior to December 31, 2025.

We champion career growth with a hands-on evaluation program, designed to propel employees’ career trajectories within the company. A key initiative of our training and employee development is our performance review process. Our digitalized process allows us to measure key employee metrics and competencies based on each employee’s position.

Employee growth and retention are at the forefront of our strategies. We diligently track metrics like applications, staffing, turnover, and internal promotions. Our comprehensive career plans coupled with a meritocratic advancement model, offer multidisciplinary career growth opportunities. During 2025, we promoted 5,631 of our employees, reflecting our commitment to career development and growth within our organization.

We recognize that our employees’ well-being is paramount to their professional success. To further our commitment, we have a toll-free telephone line handled by health professionals who provide psychological, nutritional, and medical advice to our employees.

Integral to our corporate culture is the value we place on open communication. We believe in empowering our employees and that they should have voice in company matters. For example, all employees have access to a platform with direct access to our Chief Executive Officer, all improvement proposals are heard and responded to

63


 

through this platform. Proposals that we believe may add value to the business are analyzed in detail and implemented.

E.
SHARE OWNERSHIP

The shares and any outstanding options beneficially owned by our directors and officers and/or entities affiliated with these individuals are disclosed in “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—A. Major Shareholders.”

F.
DISCLOSURE OF A REGISTRANT’S ACTION TO RECOVER ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION

Not applicable.

A.
MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

The table below contains information regarding the beneficial ownership of our equity securities as of March 31, 2026.

The percentages of beneficial ownership in the table below are calculated on the basis of the following numbers of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026: 62,638,441 Class A common shares, 5,200,000 Class B common shares and 50,018,697 Class C common shares outstanding.

Common shares subject to options, warrants or rights that were exercisable at March 31, 2026 or that will be exercisable within 60 days of the date of this report, are considered to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person who holds such options, warrants or rights for purposes of computing that person’s common share ownership, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. As a result, the table below does not reflect: 37,745,312 Class C common shares issuable upon the exercise of options granted under our Legacy Plan; 3,742,500 stock options each exercisable for one Class A common share under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan; 535,667 RSUs under the Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan that remain unvested; 5,000,000 RSUs each equal to one Class C common share under the Liquidity Event Share Plan that remain unvested; and 4,224,960 Class C common shares under the Bolton Share Allocation subject to delayed delivery. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—B. Compensation” for further information regarding our equity incentive plans and awards.

Beneficial ownership is determined under SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each shareholder identified in the table below possesses sole voting and investment power over all the Class A common shares, Class B common shares and/or Class C common shares shown as beneficially owned by such shareholder in the table.

The holders of our Class A common shares, Class B common shares and Class C common shares have identical rights, except that:

holders of Class B common shares (1) are entitled to 15 votes per share, whereas holders of our Class A common shares and Class C common shares are entitled to one vote per share; (2) have certain conversion rights into one Class A common share, as described below; (3) are subject to certain transfer restrictions; and (4) have certain preemptive rights; and
holders of Class C common shares (1) have certain conversion rights into one Class A common share, as described below; and (2) are subject to certain transfer restrictions.

Based solely on a review of filings made pursuant to Section 13(d) and Section 13(g) of the Exchange Act and other publicly available information, Gilder Gagnon Howe & Co LLC and Morgan Stanley are no longer believed to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s Class A shares and therefore are not included in this table.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

See “Item 18. Financial Statements” for our consolidated financial statements filed as part of this annual report.

Dividends and Dividend Policy

The amount of any dividends will depend on many factors, such as our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including applicable laws, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

As a holding company, our ability to pay dividends depends on our receipt of cash dividends from our operating subsidiaries, which may further restrict our ability to pay dividends as a result of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation (including imposing legal restrictions on dividend distribution by subsidiaries), agreements of our subsidiaries or covenants under future indebtedness that we or they may incur. Our ability to pay dividends is therefore directly related to positive and distributable net results from our subsidiaries. See “Item 3. Key Information–D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Our holding company structure makes us dependent on the operations of our subsidiaries.” In 2024 and in 2025, we did not declare or pay any dividends.

Certain British Virgin Islands and Mexican Legal Requirements Related to Dividends

Dividends may only be paid in accordance with the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association and Section 57 of the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) where the board of directors is satisfied on reasonable grounds that immediately after the payment of the dividend the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. Pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association, all dividends unclaimed for three years after having been declared may be forfeited by a resolution of directors for the benefit of the Company. See “Item 10. Additional Information–B. Memorandum and Articles of Association.”

Under Mexican law, subject to the satisfaction of certain quorum requirements, only shareholders at a general meeting have the authority to declare a dividend. Although not required by law, such declarations typically follow the recommendation of the board of directors. Additionally, under Mexican law, our Mexican subsidiary may only pay dividends if, among other things, any existing losses applicable to prior years have been made up or absorbed into shareholders’ equity and after at least 5% of net profits for the relevant fiscal year have been allocated to a legal reserve until the amount of the reserve equals 20% of a company’s paid-in capital stock.

The amount and payment of future dividends, if any, will be subject to applicable law and will depend upon a variety of factors that may be considered by our board of directors or our shareholders, including our future operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, investments in potential acquisitions or other growth opportunities, legal restrictions, contractual restrictions in our current and future debt instruments and our ability to

68


 

obtain funds from our subsidiaries. Such factors may limit or prevent the payment of any future dividends and may be considered by our board of directors in recommending, or by our shareholders in approving, the payment of any future dividends.

Following the expiry of the Liquidity Lock-Up Period, a holder of Class B common shares may also at any time elect to convert a Class B common share into one Class A common share by delivering a conversion notice to the Company.

Class C Common Shares

Holders of our Class C common shares may freely hold and vote their shares. The following summarizes the rights of holders of our Class C common shares and certain restrictions applicable thereto:

each holder of Class C common shares is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders generally, including the election of directors;
holders of Class C common shares vote together with holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares as a single class, subject to certain exceptions described below;

if the holder of Class C common shares is an entity, transfers to affiliates and transfers or distributions to another person that is a partner, member, shareholder or holder of similar

72


 

equity interests in such entity; provided that in each such case the transferees continue to be bound by the same transfer restrictions during the Liquidity Lock-Up Period;
transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s issued shares involving a “change of control” (meaning a change in the Company’s ownership of not less than 90%) that has been approved by the board of directors; provided that should such a transaction not be completed, the transfer restrictions will continue to apply; and

each Class C common share will convert automatically into one Class A common share upon (i) sale into the public market; (ii) certain transfers permitted during the Liquidity Lock-Up Period (including “change of control” transactions and piggy-back or registration rights sales described above); and (iii) upon expiry of the Liquidity Lock-Up Period. Any Class C common shares that remain outstanding (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, Class B common shares) shall immediately and automatically convert into Class A common shares upon the expiry of the Liquidity Lock-Up Period. In addition, our articles of association permit the conversion of Class C common shares into Class A common shares upon the affirmative vote of holders representing at least 75% of the votes of the Class B common shares and Class C common shares voting as a single class (provided that such conversion does not take place within 18 months as of February 9, 2024).

Holders of Class A common shares will vote together with holders of Class B common shares and Class C common shares as a single class. However, in certain circumstances described in our memorandum and articles of association each class of common shares would vote separately, including if a change was proposed to the rights attaching to that class of shares in a manner that did not equally affect the other classes of common shares.

Lock-up Provisions of Our Memorandum and Articles of Association

In addition to restrictions on sales and dispositions relating to our IPO described in our memorandum and articles of association, the Liquidity Lock-Up Period is in force for a period commenced on the date of expiry of the 180-day initial lock-up period and ending 24 months after such date, during which the holders of Class B common shares and Class C common shares may not directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any Class B common shares or Class C common shares (or grant or enter into any option, warrant, convertible security, hedging arrangement or other transaction relating thereto), except for certain permitted transfers described in our memorandum and articles of association.

Registration Rights

Our memorandum and articles of association grant holders of our Class B common shares and Class C common shares customary registration rights for the resale of the Class A common shares into which the Class B common shares and Class C common shares held by them are convertible. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration, except for shares purchased by affiliates. Class A common shares covered by a registration statement will be eligible for sales in the public market upon the expiration, or their release from the terms of, the lock-up provisions of our memorandum and articles of association described above and under “Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association.” Any sales of Class A common shares by these shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our Class A common shares.

73


 

Preferred Shares

Our board of directors may resolve to amend our memorandum and articles of association by resolution of directors to authorize us to issue one or more new classes of preferred shares and may determine the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each such class of preferred shares (which may be more favorable than those attaching to the common shares), as the board of directors may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, including without limitation:

the number of shares constituting the additional class of preferred shares;
the dividend and other distribution rights of the class of preferred shares (which may be payable in preference to, or in relation to, the dividends payable on our common shares or any other class or classes of shares);
whether the class of preferred shares shall have voting rights and, if so, whether they shall vote separately or together as a single class with the common shares and/or any other class of shares;
whether the class of preferred shares shall have conversion and/or exchange rights and privileges and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion and/or exchange;
whether the class of preferred shares shall impose conditions and restrictions upon the business and affairs of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or the right to approve and/or veto certain matters and/or to appoint and/or remove one or more directors of the Company; and
the rights of the preferred shares in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, including, without limitation, any liquidation preference and whether such rights shall be in preference to, or in relation to, the comparable rights of the common shares or any other class or classes of shares.

Shareholders’ Meetings and Consents

The following summarizes certain relevant provisions of British Virgin Islands laws and our memorandum and articles of association in relation to our shareholders’ meetings:

our memorandum and articles of association contemplate two types of shareholders’ meetings, namely:
an annual meeting of shareholders (each an “annual meeting”); and
any meeting of shareholders which is not an annual meeting (each a “special meeting”);
only the board of directors may convene an annual meeting. The first annual meeting following our IPO took place on April 29, 2025; an annual meeting shall be held in each future calendar year. All annual meetings shall be held at such date, time and place, either within or outside the British Virgin Islands, and may be held virtually, as shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors. The business of an annual meeting shall be the election and re-election of directors for those board seats whose terms expire at such meeting and any other items of business proposed by the board of directors and/or otherwise duly proposed by eligible shareholders in accordance with our memorandum and articles of association;
special meetings may be called by: (i) the Chief Executive Officer; (ii) the Chairman of the board of directors; (iii) the majority of the board of directors; or (iv) the shareholders entitled to exercise at least 30% of the outstanding voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested. A special meeting may be held at such date, time and place, within or outside the British Virgin Islands, as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting;

74


 

director elections and re-elections by shareholders may occur only at annual meetings (not special meetings) and then only in respect of those board seats whose terms expire at such meeting. Nominations of persons for election or re-election as directors of the Company at an annual meeting may only be made by (i) the board of directors; or (ii) any shareholder (or shareholders collectively) holding not less than 5% of the voting rights that may be exercised at the annual meeting entitled to attend and vote at such meeting, provided the various restrictions, conditions and provision of information and other procedural requirements set out in our memorandum and articles of association have been met by the nominating shareholders. The board of directors will also retain discretion to veto inappropriate candidates nominated by shareholders for election as a director in certain enumerated circumstances, including (a) where the candidate is not qualified, does not have the necessary experience, has a conflict of interest, is on the board of directors of a competitor or is otherwise unsuitable or unfit for office; and (b) where an appointment may adversely affect the Company’s (and/or its subsidiaries’ respective) reputation or business; or would result in the Company not having the required number of independent directors for its audit committee; or would result in the Company losing its “foreign private issuer” status;
written notice of any shareholder meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting and each director not fewer than 10 nor more than 120 days before the date of the meeting. The inadvertent failure or accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of a notice of a meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the shareholder meeting or the proceedings at that meeting. A meeting of shareholders held in contravention of such notice requirements is valid if shareholders holding at least 90% of the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a shareholder at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver on his part;
a shareholder may be represented at a meeting of shareholders by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the shareholder;
a meeting of shareholders is duly constituted and quorate if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy holders of not less than 30% of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the meeting;
if within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall be adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other date, time and place as the directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than 30% of the votes of the shares or each class or series of shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall be dissolved. Notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the date, time and place of such meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken;
a resolution of shareholders is valid if approved at a duly convened and constituted meeting of shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote thereon which were present at the meeting and were voted (although approval of certain matters, including removal of directors without cause, certain amendments to our constitution without the consent of our board of directors and a voluntary liquidation require a special resolution of shareholders approved by not less than two-thirds of the votes of the shares entitled to vote thereon); and
in addition, in order to nominate candidates for election as a director at an annual meeting or propose topics for consideration at an annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders, shareholders must notify the Company in writing prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected or the proposals are to be acted upon, and such notice must contain the documentation and information specified in our memorandum and articles of association. To be timely, notice with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders must be received by not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than

75


 

the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided that if the Company did not have an annual meeting the preceding year not later than the close of business on February 1 of the calendar year in which the annual meeting is to be held or such other date notified to shareholders by the board of directors). In the case of any business or other matter to be considered at a special meeting of shareholders, notice of such business or other matter must be included with the original requisition notice. Various other restrictions, conditions and provision of information and other procedural requirements set out in our memorandum and articles of association shall also apply. Such advance notice requirements and other provisions may preclude or limit the ability of shareholders to nominate candidates for election as a director or propose topics for consideration at a meeting of shareholders.

Our next annual meeting is expected to take place on or about April 29, 2026.

British Virgin Islands Company Considerations

Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association and the provisions of applicable British Virgin Islands law, including the Companies Act. The Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of some significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders. A brief discussion of certain other provisions of the Companies Act and British Virgin Islands law also follows.

We cannot predict whether British Virgin Islands courts would reach the same conclusions based on a particular set of facts as the U.S. courts would be expected to reach. Thus, you may have more difficulty in protecting your interests in the face of actions by the Company, management, directors or principal shareholder than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a United States jurisdiction, which has developed a substantial body of case law. The following table provides a comparison between the statutory provisions of the Companies Act together with the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association) and the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to shareholders’ rights.

Shareholders’ Voting Rights

 

 

Any person authorized to vote may be represented at a meeting by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the member.

Any person authorized to vote may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy.

 

 

Quorum is fixed by our memorandum and articles of association, to consist of the holder or holders present in person or by proxy entitled to exercise not less than 30% of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the resolutions.

For stock corporations, the charter or by-laws may specify the number to constitute a quorum but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of shares entitled to vote at a meeting. In the absence of such specifications, a majority of shares shall constitute a quorum.

 

 

Under our memorandum and articles of association, subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares, at any general meeting every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote and on a poll every shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each Class A common share and Class C common share of which such shareholder is the holder and 15 votes per Class B common share of which such shareholder is the holder. The chair is responsible for deciding in such manner as they consider appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of their decision shall be announced to the

For non-stock companies, the charter or by-laws may specify the number of shareholders to constitute a quorum. In the absence of this, one-third of the shareholders shall constitute a quorum.

general meeting and recorded in the minutes of the general meeting. If the chair has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, they shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chair fails to take a poll then any shareholder present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chair of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chair shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any general meeting, the result shall be announced to the general meeting and recorded in the minutes of the general meeting.

 

 

 

Changes in the rights of shareholders that affect all shareholders equally require approval of a majority of shareholders. Changes to the class rights attaching to the Class A common shares, Class B common shares or Class C common shares as set forth in our memorandum and articles of association may require approval by way of resolution of a majority of those outstanding Class A common shares, Class B common shares or Class C common shares, respectively, attending a meeting of such class and voting in respect of such resolution.

However, the above is subject to any greater majority required under our memorandum and articles of association or the Companies Act, provided that for these purposes the creation, designation or issue of preferred shares with rights and privileges ranking in priority to an existing class of shares shall be deemed not to be a change or variation of the rights of such existing class.

Except as provided in the charter documents, changes in the rights of shareholders as set forth in the charter documents require approval of a majority of its shareholders.

 

 

The memorandum and articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting.

The charter documents may provide for cumulative voting.

 

 

All other matters to be decided upon by the shareholders require a majority vote of shareholders who being so entitled attend and vote at the general meeting, unless the Companies Act or the memorandum and articles of association requires a higher majority. Our memorandum and articles of association in certain circumstances require a higher majority. Our memorandum and articles of association also may be amended by resolution of directors, including to create the rights, preferences, designations and limitations attaching to any blank check preferred shares.

 

 

Directors

Board must consist of at least one director.

Board must consist of at least one member.

 

 

Directors are appointed for the term, if any, fixed by the resolution appointing them, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. If no term is fixed on the appointment of a Director, the Director shall serve indefinitely until their earlier death, resignation or

removal. Our memorandum and articles of association fix a rotating three-year term to elect directors for each of our three classes of directorships.

 

 

Fiduciary Duties

 

 

Directors and officers owe statutory and fiduciary duties at common law and under statute as follows:

(a)
Duty to act honestly and in good faith in what the directors believe to be in the best interests of the company;
(b)
Duty to exercise powers for a proper purpose and directors shall not act, or agree to act, in a matter that contravenes the Companies Act or our memorandum and articles of association.

 

Duty to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the circumstances taking into account, without limitation:

(a)
the nature of the company;
(b)
the nature of the decision; and
(c)
the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him.

Directors and officers must act in good faith, with the care of a prudent person, and in the best interest of the corporation.

Directors and officers must refrain from self-dealing, usurping corporate opportunities and receiving improper personal benefits.

Decisions made by directors and officers on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was taken in the best interest of the corporation will be protected by the “business judgment rule.”

The Companies Act provides that a director of a company shall, immediately after becoming aware of the fact that they are interested in a transaction entered into, or to be entered into, by the company, disclose the interest to the board of directors of the company.

However, the failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction entered into by the director or the company, so long as the transaction was not required to be disclosed because the transaction is between the company and the director themselves and is in the ordinary course of business and on usual terms and conditions. Additionally, the failure of a director to disclose an interest does not affect the validity of the transaction entered into by the company if (a) the material facts of the interest of the director in the transaction are known by the shareholders and the transaction is approved or ratified by a resolution of shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or (b) the company received fair value for the transaction.

Pursuant to the Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, so long as a director has disclosed any interests in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company to the board of directors they may:

(a)
vote on a matter relating to the transaction;
(b)
attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and
(c)
sign a document on behalf of the company, or do any other thing in their capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction.

Directors may vote on a matter in which they have an interest so long as the director has disclosed any interests in the transaction.

 

Shareholders’ Derivative Actions

 

 

Generally speaking, the company is the proper plaintiff in any action affecting the company. A shareholder may, with the permission of the British Virgin Islands court, bring an action or intervene in a matter in the name of the company, in certain circumstances. Such actions are known as derivative actions. The British Virgin Islands court may only (but is not obliged to) grant permission to bring a derivative action where the following circumstances apply:

(a)
the company does not intend to bring, diligently continue or defend or discontinue the proceedings; and

In any derivative suit instituted by a shareholder of a corporation, it shall be averred in the complaint that the plaintiff was a shareholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction of which he complains or that such shareholder’s stock thereafter devolved upon such shareholder by operation of law.

Complaint shall set forth with particularity the efforts of the plaintiff to obtain the action by the board of directors or the reasons for not making such effort.

Such action shall not be dismissed or compromised without the approval of the Chancery Court.

(b)
it is in the interests of the company that the conduct of the proceedings not be left to the directors or to the determination of the shareholders as a whole.

When considering whether to grant leave, the British Virgin Islands court is also required to have regard to the following matters:

(a)
whether the shareholder is acting in good faith;
(b)
whether a derivative action is in the interests of the company, taking into account the directors’ views on commercial matters;
(c)
whether the action is likely to succeed;
(d)
the costs of the proceedings in relation to the relief likely to be obtained; and
(e)
whether another alternative remedy to the derivative action is available.

If we were a Delaware corporation, a shareholder whose shares were cancelled in connection with our dissolution, would not be able to bring a derivative action against us after the common shares have been cancelled.

As noted above, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of some of the significant provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. The Companies Act provides for “mergers” as that expression is understood under United States corporate law. Under the Companies Act, two or more companies may either merge into one of such existing companies (the “surviving company”) or consolidate with both existing companies ceasing to exist and forming a new company (the “consolidated company”). The procedure for a merger or consolidation between the company and another company (which need not be a British Virgin Islands company, and which may be the company’s parent or subsidiary, but need not be) is set out in the Companies Act. The directors of the British Virgin Islands company or British Virgin Islands companies which are to merge or consolidate must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which, with the exception of a merger between a parent company and its subsidiary, must also be approved by a resolution of the shareholders who are entitled to vote and actually vote at a quorate meeting of shareholders (or by written resolution of the shareholders) of the British Virgin Islands company or British Virgin Islands companies which are to merge. A foreign company which is able to participate in the merger or consolidation under the laws of its foreign jurisdiction is required by the Companies Act to comply with the laws of that foreign jurisdiction in relation to the merger or consolidation. The company must then execute articles of merger or consolidation, containing certain prescribed details. The plan and articles of merger or consolidation are then filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands. The Registrar then registers the articles of merger or consolidation and any amendment to the memorandum and articles of the surviving company in a merger or the memorandum and articles of association of the new consolidated company in a consolidation and issue a certificate of merger or consolidation (which is conclusive evidence of compliance with all requirements of the Companies Act in respect of the merger or consolidation). The merger is effective on the date that the articles of merger are registered with the Registrar or on such subsequent date, not exceeding thirty days, as is stated in the articles of merger or consolidation.

As soon as a merger becomes effective:

(a)
the surviving company or consolidated company (so far as is consistent with its memorandum and articles of association, as amended or established by the articles of merger or consolidation) has all rights, privileges, immunities, powers, objects and purposes of each of the constituent companies;
(b)
in the case of a merger, the memorandum and articles of association of any surviving company are automatically amended to the extent, if any, that changes to its amended memorandum and articles of association are contained in the articles of merger or, in the case of a consolidation, the memorandum and articles of association filed with the articles of consolidation are the memorandum and articles of the consolidated company;

80


 

(c)
assets of every description, including choses-in-action and the business of each of the constituent companies, immediately vest in the surviving company or consolidated company;
(d)
the surviving company or consolidated company is liable for all claims, debts, liabilities and obligations of each of the constituent companies;
(e)
no conviction, judgment, ruling, order, claim, debt, liability or obligation due or to become due, and no cause existing, against a constituent company or against any member, director, officer or agent thereof, is released or impaired by the merger or consolidation; and
(f)
no proceedings, whether civil or criminal, pending at the time of a merger by or against a constituent company, or against any member, director, officer or agent thereof, are abated or discontinued by the merger or consolidation; but:
i.
the proceedings may be enforced, prosecuted, settled or compromised by or against the surviving company or consolidated company or against the member, director, officer or agent thereof; as the case may be; or
ii.
the surviving company or consolidated company may be substituted in the proceedings for a constituent company.

The Registrar shall strike off the register of companies each constituent company that is not the surviving company in the case of a merger and all constituent companies in the case of a consolidation.

If the directors determine it to be in the best interests of the company, it is also possible for a merger to be approved as a court approved plan of arrangement or scheme of arrangement in accordance with the Companies Act.

Poison Pill Defenses. Under the Companies Act, there are no provisions which specifically prevent the issuance of preferred shares or any such other ‘poison pill’ measures and there is relevant jurisprudence which support the legality of the Company adopting “poison pill” measures. Our memorandum and articles of association expressly permit the creation and issuance of preferred shares. Therefore, the directors may issue preferred shares that have characteristics that may be deemed to be anti-takeover without the approval of the holders of common shares. Additionally, such a designation of shares may be used in connection with plans that are poison pill plans. As noted above under the Companies Act, a director in the exercise of his powers and performance of his duties is required to act honestly and in good faith in what the director believes to be the best interests of the company.

Directors. The directors are divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual general meeting of the shareholders following the annual general meeting of the shareholders at which such director was elected and subject to the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association, and being understood that for the first designation, directors designated as Class I directors are serving for a term ending on the date of the fourth general meeting of shareholders following our IPO, directors initially designated as Class II directors are serving for a term ending on the second annual general meeting of shareholders following our IPO, and directors initially designated as Class III directors are serving for a term ending on the date of the third annual general meeting of the shareholders following our IPO. There is nothing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands which specifically prohibits or restricts the creation of cumulative voting rights for the election of our directors. However, our memorandum and articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting for such elections.

Our memorandum and articles of association provide that, subject to any rights of holders of preferred shares to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by our board of directors. Our memorandum and articles of association also provide that, subject to the rights granted to one or more series of preferred shares then outstanding, any vacancies on our board of directors will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum.

81


 

There are no share ownership qualifications for directors.

Meetings of our board of directors may be convened at any time by any of our directors.

A meeting of our board of directors will be quorate if at least a majority of the directors are present. At any meeting of our directors, each director is entitled to one vote. Questions arising at a meeting of our board of directors are required to be decided by simple majority votes of the directors present or represented at the meeting (except for certain matters which require the approval of two-thirds of the directors, including the removal of directors without cause and the removal of the chief executive officer). Our board of directors also may pass resolutions without a meeting by written consent.

Agents and Officers. Our board of directors has the power to appoint any person (whether or not a director or other officer of the company) to be an agent and/or officer of the company.

When appointing an agent or officer of the company, our directors may authorize the agent or officer to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some or all of the powers conferred on the agent or officer. Our directors may remove an agent or officer and may revoke or vary a power conferred on them.

Indemnification of Directors. Our memorandum and articles of association provide that, subject to certain limitations, the company shall indemnify its directors and officers against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. Such indemnity only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the memorandum and articles of association, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Directors and Conflicts of Interest. As noted in the table above, pursuant to the Companies Act and a company’s memorandum and articles of association, a director of a company who has an interest in a transaction and who has declared such interest to the other directors, may:

(a)
vote on a matter relating to the transaction;
(b)
attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and
(c)
sign a document on behalf of the company, or do any other thing in their capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction.

Shareholders’ Suits. Our British Virgin Islands counsel is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a British Virgin Islands court. The enforcement of the company’s rights will ordinarily be a matter for its directors.

In certain limited circumstances, a shareholder has the right to seek various remedies against the company in the event the directors are in breach of their duties under the Companies Act. Pursuant to Section 184B of the Companies Act, if a company or director of a company engages in, or proposes to engage in or has engaged in, conduct that contravenes the provisions of the Companies Act or the memorandum and articles of association of the company, the British Virgin Islands court may, on application of a shareholder or director of the company, make an order directing the company or director to comply with, or restraining the company or director from engaging in conduct that contravenes the Companies Act or the memorandum and articles of association. Furthermore, pursuant to section 184I(1) of the Companies Act a shareholder of a company who considers that the affairs of the company

82


 

have been, are being or likely to be, conducted in a manner that is, or any acts of the company have been, or are likely to be oppressive, unfairly discriminatory, or unfairly prejudicial to him in that capacity, may apply to the British Virgin Islands court for an order which, inter alia, can require the company or any other person to pay compensation to the shareholders.

The Companies Act provides for a series of remedies available to shareholders. Where a company incorporated under the Companies Act conducts some activity, which breaches the Companies Act or the company’s memorandum and articles of association, the court can issue a restraining or compliance order. Under the Companies Act, a shareholder of a company may bring an action against the company for breach of a duty owed by the company to him as a member. A shareholder also may, with the permission of the British Virgin Islands court, bring an action or intervene in a matter in the name of the company, in certain circumstances. Such actions are known as derivative actions. As noted above, the British Virgin Islands court may only (but is not obliged to) grant permission to bring a derivative action where the following circumstances apply:

(a)
the company does not intend to bring, diligently continue or defend or discontinue proceedings; and
(b)
it is in the interests of the company that the conduct of the proceedings not be left to the directors or to the determination of the shareholders as a whole.

When considering whether to grant leave, the British Virgin Islands court is also required to have regard to the following matters:

(a)
whether the shareholder is acting in good faith;
(b)
whether a derivative action is in the company’s best interests, taking into account the directors’ views on commercial matters;
(c)
whether the action is likely to proceed;
(d)
the costs of the proceedings; and
(e)
whether an alternative remedy is available.

Any member of a company may apply to the British Virgin Islands court under the Insolvency Act for the appointment of a liquidator to liquidate the company and the court may appoint a liquidator for the company if it is of the opinion that it is just and equitable to do so.

The Companies Act provides that any shareholder of a company is entitled to payment of the fair value of their shares upon dissenting from any of the following:

(a)
a merger if the company is a constituent company, unless the company is the surviving company and the member continues to hold the same or similar shares;
(b)
a consolidation if the company is a constituent company;
(c)
any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition of more than 50% in value of the assets or business of the company if not made in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the company but not including:
i.
a disposition pursuant to an order of the court having jurisdiction in the matter;
ii.
a disposition for money on terms requiring all or substantially all net proceeds to be distributed to the members in accordance with their respective interest within one year after the date of disposition; or
iii.
a transfer pursuant to the power of the directors to transfer assets for the protection thereof;

83


 

(d)
a compulsory redemption of 10%, or fewer of the issued shares of the company required by the holders of 90%, or more of the shares of the company pursuant to the terms of the Act; and
(e)
a plan of arrangement, if permitted by the British Virgin Islands court.

Generally, any other claims against a company by its shareholders must be based on the general laws of contract or tort applicable in the British Virgin Islands or their individual rights as shareholders as established by the company’s memorandum and articles of association. There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely derived from English common law. Under the general English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse to interfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairs by the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to seek to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and the constituent documents of the corporation. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions of the company’s memorandum and articles of association, then the courts may grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are the following:

(a)
a company is acting or proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;
(b)
the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could only be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained;
(c)
the individual rights of the plaintiff shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed; or
(d)
those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

Compulsory Acquisition. Under the Companies Act, subject to any limitations in a company’s memorandum or articles, members holding 90% of the votes of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, and members holding 90% of the votes of the outstanding shares of each class of shares entitled to vote, may give a written instruction to the company directing the company to redeem the shares held by the remaining members. Upon receipt of such written instruction, the company shall redeem the shares specified in the written instruction, irrespective of whether or not the shares are by their terms redeemable. The company shall give written notice to each member whose shares are to be redeemed stating the redemption price and the manner in which the redemption is to be effected. A member whose shares are to be so redeemed is entitled to dissent from such redemption, and to be paid the fair value of his shares, as described under “Shareholders’ Suits.”

Share Repurchases and Redemptions. As permitted by the Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Depending on the circumstances of the redemption or repurchase, our directors may need to determine that immediately following the redemption or repurchase we will be able to satisfy our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities. Our directors may only exercise this power on our behalf, subject to the Companies Act, our memorandum and articles of association and to any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which our securities are listed.

Dividends. Subject to the Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, our directors may declare dividends at a time and amount they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after distribution of the dividend, the value of our assets will exceed our liabilities and we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due. No dividend shall carry interest against us.

Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders and Disclosure of Substantial Shareholdings. There are no limitations imposed by our memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

84


 

Untraceable Shareholders. Under our memorandum and articles of association, we are entitled to sell any shares of a shareholder who is untraceable, as long as:

(a)
all checks, not being less than three in total number, for any sums payable in cash to the holder of such shares have remained uncashed for a period of twelve years;
(b)
we have not during that time or before the expiry of the three-month period referred to in (c) below received any indication of the existence of the shareholder or person entitled to such shares by death, bankruptcy or operation of law; and
(c)
upon expiration of the 12-year period, we have caused an advertisement to be published in newspapers, giving notice of our intention to sell these shares, and a period of three months or such shorter period has elapsed since the date of such advertisement.

The net proceeds of any such sale shall belong to us, and when we receive these net proceeds we shall become indebted to the former shareholder for an amount equal to such net proceeds.

Transfer of Shares. Subject to any applicable provisions and restrictions set forth in our memorandum and articles of association, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her shares in accordance with the laws, rules, procedures and other requirements applicable to shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Inspection of Books and Records. Under the Companies Act, members of the general public via a British Virgin Islands registered agent or legal practitioner, on payment of a nominal fee, can obtain copies of the public records of a company available at the office of the Registrar which will include the company’s certificate of incorporation, its memorandum and articles of association (with any amendments) and records of license fees paid to date and will also disclose any articles of dissolution, articles of merger and a register of charges if the company has elected to file such a register. Upon payment of an additional search fee, the names of the current directors are also available.

A member of a company is entitled, on giving written notice to the company, to inspect:

(a)
the memorandum and articles of association;
(b)
the register of members;
(c)
the register of directors; and
(d)
the minutes of meetings and resolutions of members and of those classes of members of which he is a member; and to make copies of or take extracts from the documents and records referred to in (a) to (d) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to our memorandum and articles of association, the directors may, if they are satisfied that it would be contrary to the company’s interests to allow a member to inspect any document, or part of a document, specified in (b), (c) or (d) above, refuse to permit the member to inspect the document or limit the inspection of the document, including limiting the making of copies or the taking of extracts from the records. Our memorandum and articles of association do not prohibit the directors from refusing an inspection.

Where a company fails or refuses to permit a member to inspect a document or permits a member to inspect a document subject to limitations, that member may apply to the British Virgin Islands court for an order that he should be permitted to inspect the document or to inspect the document without limitation.

Dissolution; Winding Up. As permitted by the Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, the Company may be voluntarily liquidated under Part XII of the Companies Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they fall due.

85


 

The Company may also be wound up in circumstances where we are insolvent in accordance with the terms of the Insolvency Act.

Anti-Money Laundering Laws. In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering we are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, we also may delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

If any person resident in the British Virgin Islands knows or suspects that another person is engaged in money laundering or terrorist financing and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business the person will be required to report his belief or suspicion to the Financial Investigation Agency of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Act 1997 (as amended). Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

C.
MATERIAL CONTRACTS

We have not entered into any material contracts during the preceding two years which were outside the ordinary course of business.

D.
EXCHANGE CONTROLS

There are currently no exchange control regulations in the British Virgin Islands applicable to us or our shareholders.

E.
TAXATION

The following summary contains a description of certain British Virgin Islands, Mexican and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares. It does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase the Class A common shares, is not applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules, and does not address all of the British Virgin Islands, Mexican and U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to any particular holder. The summary is based upon the tax laws of the British Virgin Islands, Mexico and the United States and regulations thereunder as of the date hereof, which are subject to change.

Prospective purchasers of our Class A common shares should consult their own tax advisors about the particular British Virgin Islands, Mexican and U.S. federal, state, local and other tax consequences to them of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares.

British Virgin Islands Tax Considerations

The Government of the British Virgin Islands does not, under existing legislation, impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon the Company or its security holders who are not tax resident in the British Virgin Islands.

We are not liable to pay any form of taxation in the British Virgin Islands and all dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensations and other amounts paid by us to persons who are not persons resident in the British Virgin Islands are exempt from all forms of taxation in the British Virgin Islands and any capital gains realized with respect

86


 

to any shares, debt obligations, or other securities of ours by persons who are not persons resident in the British Virgin Islands are exempt from all forms of taxation in the British Virgin Islands.

No estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax, rate, duty, levy or other charge is payable by persons who are not persons resident in the British Virgin Islands with respect to any shares, debt obligation or other securities of ours.

Subject to the payment of stamp duty on the acquisition of property in the British Virgin Islands by us (and in respect of certain transactions in respect of the shares, debt obligations or other securities of British Virgin Islands incorporated companies owning land in the British Virgin Islands), all instruments relating to transfers of property to or by us and all instruments relating to transactions in respect of the shares, debt obligations or other securities of ours and all instruments relating to other transactions relating to our business are exempt from payment of stamp duty in the British Virgin Islands.

There are currently no withholding taxes or exchange control regulations in the British Virgin Islands applicable to us or our shareholders.

Certain Mexican Tax Considerations

This summary is provided for non-Mexican Holders (as defined below) that acquire the Class A common shares and does not address tax consequences to holders that are regarded as tax-resident in Mexico for tax purposes.

The Company is a non-Mexican resident for tax purposes given that its administration and place of effective management are located outside of Mexico. Any capital gains realized or dividend distributions received by non-Mexican Holders with respect to Class A common shares will not be deemed as Mexican-sourced income, and thus will not be subject to Mexican taxation.

For purposes of this summary, the term “non-Mexican Holder” shall mean a beneficial owner of Class A common shares that is not a resident of Mexico for tax purposes and does not conduct a business through a permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes.

There are no Mexican inheritance, gift, succession, or value added taxes applicable to the purchase, ownership, or disposition of the Class A common shares by non-Mexican Holders.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares. This discussion deals only with Class A common shares that are held as capital assets by a U.S. Holder (as defined below).

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Class A common shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any of the following:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

87


 

This discussion is based upon provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder, all as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below.

This discussion does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including if you are:

a dealer or broker in securities;
a financial institution;
a regulated investment company;
a real estate investment trust;
an insurance company;
a tax-exempt organization;
a person holding our Class A common shares as part of an integrated or conversion transaction, a constructive sale or a straddle;
a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;
a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of all of our outstanding stock (by vote or value);
a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
a person required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to our Class A common shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement; or
a person whose “functional currency” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Class A common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or partner of a partnership holding our Class A common shares, you should consult your tax advisors.

This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income, U.S. federal estate and gift taxes or the effects of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. If you are considering the purchase of our Class A common shares, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares, as well as the consequences to you arising under other U.S. federal tax laws (such as estate and gift tax laws) and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Except as specifically noted below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company,” the following discussion assumes we are not, and will not be, a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Taxation of Dividends

The gross amount of distributions on our Class A common shares will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in your tax basis in the Class A common shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds your tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange (as discussed below under “—Taxation of Sales or Exchanges”). We do not, however, expect to determine earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be reported as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Any dividends that you receive (including any withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income from foreign sources on the day actually or constructively received by you. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporations under the Code.

Subject to applicable limitations (including a minimum holding period requirement), dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders from a qualified foreign corporation may be treated as “qualified dividend income” that is subject to reduced rates of taxation. For these purposes, a foreign corporation is generally treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that our Class A common shares, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we believe that any dividends we pay on our Class A common shares to non-corporate U.S. Holders will be potentially eligible for these reduced tax rates. However, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced tax rates on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC (as discussed below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company”) in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to your particular circumstances.

Distributions of Class A common shares or rights to subscribe for Class A common shares that are received as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our shareholders (and for which the shareholders do not have a right to receive cash or other property instead) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Taxation of Sales or Exchanges

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A common shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the Class A common shares and your tax basis in the Class A common shares. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Class A common shares for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by you will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

In general, we will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, (i) at least 75% of our gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the value (generally determined based on a quarterly average) of our assets is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person). In addition, cash and other assets readily convertible into cash are generally considered passive assets.

89


 

Based on the past and projected composition of our income and assets, and the value of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a PFIC for our most recent taxable year, and we do not expect to become a PFIC in the current taxable year or the foreseeable future, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may become a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition or in the value of our assets.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our Class A common shares, you could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to our Class A common shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Although the determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually, if we are a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold our Class A common shares, we would generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to you for all succeeding years during which you hold the Class A common shares, even if we ceased to meet the threshold requirements for PFIC status during such years. However, if we cease to be a PFIC, you can avoid the continuing impact of the PFIC rules by making a special election to recognize gain as if your Class A common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year during which we were a PFIC.

You will generally be required to file Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 8621 if you hold our Class A common shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC. You are urged to consult your tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding Class A common shares if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year, including the potential availability and effect of any elections which would provide for alternative treatment.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of our Class A common shares and the proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Class A common shares that are paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless you establish that you are an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number and a certification that you are not subject to backup withholding or if you fail to report in full dividend and interest income.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Certain U.S. Holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or US$75,000 at any time during the taxable year (or in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to report information relating to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” generally include financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Significant penalties may apply for failing to satisfy this filing requirement. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding information reporting requirements relating to your ownership of the Class A common shares.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, authorized, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of our IFRS financial statements, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses, as described under “Item 15. Controls and Procedures–B. Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025.

B.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

BBB Foods' management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the company; and
(iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatement. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

92


 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of December 31, 2025, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria of Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by COSO in 2013. Based upon its review and evaluation, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective because we did not design and maintain (i) an effective risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in its financial statements, including fraud risks, and (ii) effective monitoring activities to provide sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the company’s internal control objectives by (a) undertaking ongoing evaluations conducted by either company personnel or outside advisors, and (b) assessing and communicating the severity of deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action. These material weaknesses contributed to additional material weaknesses, as we did not design and maintain effective controls over (a) program change management controls to ensure that information technology program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, and (b) general user access controls over information systems relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements to determine that user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data are adequately restricted to appropriate company personnel.

C.
ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears herein. See page F-3 of our audited consolidated financial statements.

D.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Other than as disclosed below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation activities and plans

During 2025, we made significant progress in our efforts to remediate the deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting identified in 2024. The Company devoted substantial time and resources to strengthening its control environment and enhancing the overall effectiveness and sustainability of its financial reporting processes.

Remediation actions undertaken during 2025 included:

(i)
the implementation of a new, upgraded and more reliable accounting system designed to enhance automation, improve the accuracy of financial reporting, and strengthen segregation of duties controls;
(ii)
Enhancing our completion of the formal documentation of key financial reporting processes, including detailed flowcharts and control narratives. In addition, management improved supporting documentation standards, and strengthening training programs related to IFRS, SEC regulations, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the COSO Internal Control – Integrated Framework.
(iii)
significantly reducing, and where appropriate eliminating, the Company’s reliance on external advisors for the preparation of its financial statements, thereby reinforcing internal ownership and accountability.

As a result of these efforts, we believe that the Company’s internal control environment has been substantially strengthened and that meaningful improvements have been achieved in the design and execution of key controls. Nevertheless, we have determined that the material weaknesses first identified on December 31, 2024 were still in the process of being remediated.

93


 

We have developed and initiated the execution of a comprehensive remediation plan designed to address the root causes of most of the control deficiencies and strengthen the control environment. This plan was formally submitted for approval at our most recent audit committee, and progress of the remediation plan will be periodically monitored by Management and reported to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. We believe that the timely and effective execution of this plan will allow us to remediate the identified control deficiencies and strengthen the ICFR framework, reducing the risk of material misstatements in future periods.

ITEM 16K. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity risks have grown steadily across industries and regions as technology advances in its versatility and complexity. There is a possibility of a cyberattack that could affect our operations in various ways, damage our reputation and lead to regulatory sanctions and/or financial losses.

Our strategy for managing cybersecurity risks consists of a multipronged approach, including:

Infrastructure hardening of servers, firewalls, communication equipment and cloud services.
Network segmentation, latest generation firewalls, detection and response security agents, mail filtering, USB port blocking, physical and logical access controls, disk encryption and confidential data at rest.
Solid security processes: password change controls, access controls based on least privileges, software patches and updates, secure software development framework, periodical third-party pen testing with security certifications, recertifications, pro-active management to information security incidents.
Robust business continuity strategies with daily backups, recovery testing and fire drills.
Continuous internal user awareness including training, phishing and social engineering simulation.
Comprehensive observability of infrastructure and security, and application performance monitoring.

Our Committee on Information Security and Technological Risk (COSIRT) monitors our cybersecurity and manages any potential issues. Members of the COSIRT include our CISO, our sub-director of IT development, our infrastructure manager, our helpdesk manager, and our sub-director of IT products and projects. The COSIRT meets weekly to review, analyze, and follow up on the execution of our strategy. Monthly meetings include our Director of Information Technology. Relevant information from the COSIRT meetings is brought up by our Director of Information Technology to our CEO. Board level cybersecurity matters are brought up by the CEO to the Board in our regular Board meetings. If any material issue related to cybersecurity occurs, it triggers a special Board meeting.

Based on the information we have as of the date of this Form 20-F, we do not believe any cybersecurity threats have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. However, despite our efforts to identify and respond to cybersecurity threats, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats, or provide assurances that we have not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident.

For more information about these risks, see “Item 3. Key Information–D. Risk Factors.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
BBB Foods Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of BBB Foods Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) an ineffective risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in its financial statements, including fraud risks, (ii) ineffective monitoring activities to provide sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the company’s internal control objectives, (iii) ineffective controls over program change management controls to determine that information technology program and data changes are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, and (iv) ineffective controls over general user access controls over information systems relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements to determine that user and privileged access are adequately restricted to appropriate company personnel.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2025 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Accounting for Share-based Payments

As described in Notes 3.23, 4.4 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements, on April 29, and December 9, 2025, the Company’s Board of directors approved granting an aggregate amount of 2,860,000 stock options, under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. These stock options vest over four years, with 25% vesting at the end of each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. The exercise price is US$26.74 and US$34.79 per

F-4

share (the closing price of the Company’s Class A shares on the grant dates). For the measurement of the fair value of share-based payment transactions, management used a binomial tree valuation model, which depends on certain inputs, including the grant date, the vesting period, the expected life of the share option or appreciation right, and volatility, and making assumptions about the latter two.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to accounting for share-based payments is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment applied by management when developing the fair value estimate of the share-based payments; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions described in the preceding paragraph; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the accounting of share-based payments. These procedures also included, among others the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in (a) evaluating the appropriateness of using the binomial tree valuation model; and (b) developing an independent estimate of the fair value of share-based payments by considering (i) the grant date, vesting period, multiples, and number of options granted in the Equity Incentive Plan, (ii) the volatility of the stock price of comparable companies, (iii) the expected life of the share option or appreciation right, and (iv) utilizing public information related to the market price of the Company’s Class A shares and the risk-free rate, and (c) comparing the independent estimate to management’s estimate to evaluate its reasonableness.

Hurricane Otis

On October 25, 2023, Hurricane Otis struck the city of Acapulco, Mexico and the Company temporarily closed 51 out of the 54 stores it operated as of such date. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized impairments of Ps.42,422, Ps.7,598 and Ps.30,409 due to damages to properties, furniture, equipment, and lease-hold improvements; and cash losses due to theft, debris removal and equipment repairs; and inventory write down. The above-mentioned impairments were recorded as other expenses, sales expenses and cost of sales, respectively. In April 2025, the insurer agreed to settle Tiendas Tres B an amount of Ps.40 million in connection with damage caused by Hurricane Otis. This amount was recorded as other income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Note 2 -
Basis of preparation:
2.1.

2.4.
Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 3 - Summary of material accounting policies:

Material accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements are described below:

3.1.
Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities over which BBB Foods has control. The Company controls an entity where it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Balances and profits on transactions between the subsidiaries controlled by the Company are eliminated in consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of transferred assets. The subsidiaries’ accounting policies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

3.2.
Foreign currency transactions

i. Functional and reporting currency

The figures included in the consolidated financial statements are measured and presented using the Mexican peso (functional currency), as all material operations of Tiendas Tres B are conducted in Mexico using a functional peso currency. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the currency in which the consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented is the Mexican peso.

ii. Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect on the transactions dates. Gain and losses in exchange fluctuations resulting from such transactions and for conversion at the exchange rates at the end of the year of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, are recognized as exchange profit or loss within the financing income/cost in the statement of profit or loss.

3.3.
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances, bank deposits and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. All credit cards, debit cards, and electronic transfer transactions processed in less than 72 hours are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

3.4.
Short-term bank deposits

F-12


BBB Foods Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

Short-term bank deposits are used for investment purposes and not to settle existing or potential cash commitments in the near term. Short-term bank deposits are not available on demand and are subject to a penalty for withdrawing principal prior to the maturity date.

Short-term bank deposits are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. This classification is based on the criteria that the Company holds these financial assets within a business model to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

Interest revenue from short-term bank deposits is calculated using the effective interest method. This method involves applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets.

3.5.
Financial assets

The Company classifies and measures its financial assets based on the Company’s business model to manage financial assets, and on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of such assets. This way financial assets can be classified at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, and at fair value through profit or loss. Management determines the classification of its financial assets upon initial recognition.

Financial assets are entirely written off when the right to receive the related cash flows expires or is transferred, and the Company also has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards of its ownership, as well as the control of the financial asset.

Based on its assessment, the Company has cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and sundry debtors classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. These financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold said assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount of outstanding principal.

3.6.
Value Added Tax (VAT) receivable

VAT receivable originates from purchases and expenses in excess of VAT on sales, so the excess is a tax that the Company can offset against VAT on sales or request its refund from the tax authorities. In 2025 and 2024, the Company received VAT refunds from the tax authorities of Ps.148,262 and Ps.80,359, respectively. When the Company expects to recover VAT within 12 months after the reporting period, those amounts are presented as current assets; otherwise, they are presented as non-current assets.

3.7.
Inventories

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated sale price in the normal course of operations less the estimated costs to make the sale. The cost is determined by using the weighted average cost method. Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise, and the depreciation of property, furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements, and depreciation of right-of-use assets.

Historically, shrinkage has been immaterial because the Company has implemented strict loss prevention programs and control procedures.

The Company receives various types of vendor allowances. The most common are:

F-13


BBB Foods Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

i.
Volume allowances, which are off-invoice or amounts billed back to vendors based on the quantity of products sold to customers or purchased from the vendor, and
ii.
Promotional allowances, which relate to cooperative advertising and market development efforts.

Volume allowances are recognized as a reduction of the cost of the related products and recognized in cost of sales as they are sold. Promotional allowances are recognized as a reduction of the cost of the related products when the Company has performed the activities specified in the contract with the vendor. If the contract does not specify any performance criteria, the allowance is recognized over the term of the contract. Vendor allowances are generally deducted from the cost of sales, unless there is clear evidence that they should be classified as revenue resulting from the Company providing a distinct good or service to the vendor. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize revenue from vendor allowances, since such allowances were not considered a distinct good or service.

The Company recognizes vendor allowances only where there is evidence of a binding arrangement with the vendor, the amount can be estimated reliably, and receipt is probable.

3.8.
Property, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements

Property, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost includes the outflows directly attributable to the acquisition and all the expenses related to the location of the asset in the place and in the necessary conditions to operate as foreseen by management.

Leasehold improvements are changes to commercial real estate space and may include interior walls, changing flooring, plumbing installation, lighting fixtures, fire protection, alarm and security systems, electrical systems, warehouse facilities, among others.

The costs of expansion, remodeling or improvement that represent an increase in capacity and therefore an extension of the useful life of the assets are also capitalized. Maintenance and repair are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

The carrying amount of the replaced assets is written off when they are replaced, bringing the full effect to the statement of profit or loss.

The acquisition cost of properties, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements is depreciated and amortized systematically using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the assets.

The useful lives are indicated below:

 

Useful life

Building

20 years

Store shelving equipment

20 years

Leasehold improvements(1)

5 to 20 years

Computer equipment

3 to 4 years

Furniture and equipment

10 years

Storage equipment

10 years

 

(1)
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term.

BBB Foods Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

The residual values, the useful life and the depreciation method of the assets are reviewed and adjusted (if applicable) at every reporting period.

Profits and losses from the sale of assets result from the difference between the sale price and the carrying amount of the assets are included in the statement of profit or loss within other income.

3.9.
Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets that are subject to depreciation are subject to impairment tests when there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the book value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses correspond to the amount in which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The asset's recoverable value is the highest between the fair value of the asset less the costs incurred for its sale and its value in use. For purposes of impairment assessments, assets are grouped at the smallest levels at which they generate identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets that have been impaired are assessed at each reporting date to identify possible reversals of said impairment.

3.10.
Suppliers and accounts payable

These items include obligations with suppliers and other accounts payable for purchases of goods or services acquired in the normal course of the operations before the year end. When they are due within 12 months after the reporting period, they are presented as current liabilities and amounts due beyond 12 months are presented as non-current liabilities. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have suppliers and accounts payable beyond 12 months.

3.11.
Supplier finance arrangements

The Company determines if liabilities that are part of supplier finance arrangements should be presented as suppliers or financial liabilities.

i.
Supplier finance arrangements that remain as suppliers

In this type of arrangement, the Company’s suppliers enter into supplier finance agreements with financial institutions that pay the suppliers’ invoices in advance at a discounted rate, and the Company pays back the financial institution the outstanding amount of the original invoice, with the same terms and conditions originally agreed with the suppliers. The Company recognizes the liability as part of suppliers since those liabilities have a similar nature and function to trade payables. In those cases, the cash flows are recognized in operating activities for purposes of the cash flow statements. (See Note 4.2).

ii.
Supplier finance arrangements that are presented as financial liabilities

Tiendas Tres B has entered into two supplier finance arrangement agreements, one with Banco Santander Mexico, S. A. (Santander) and the other with HSBC Mexico, S. A. (HSBC). Pursuant to these agreements, Tiendas Tres B invited certain strategic suppliers to enter into supplier finance agreements with Santander and HSBC so that they can obtain liquidity and improve their working capital by decreasing their collection period. Santander and HSBC pay the suppliers’ invoices in advance at a discounted rate, and the Company pays back the financial institution the outstanding amount of the original invoice, with the same terms and conditions originally agreed with the suppliers. Given the economic substance of the trade payable has changed as a result of a supplier finance arrangement, the Company concluded that trade payables subject to a supplier finance arrangement under the Santander and HSBC Agreements had to be recognized and presented separately as financial liabilities included in Note 14. Consistently, for purposes of the cash flow

BBB Foods Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

statements, the Company recognizes as a cash outflow in operating activities and a cash inflow in financing activities when the financial institution pays the supplier.

At the end of each month, the Company receives a participation fee (commission) from HSBC that is accounted for as financial income.

3.12.
Debt

Debt is initially recognized at fair value, net of related costs incurred, and subsequently recognized at its amortized cost. Any difference between the funds received (net of transaction costs) and the redeemable value is recognized in the statement of profit or loss during the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. When there are changes on the expectation of cash flows associated with the debt, such as prepayments, the Company recalculates the amortized cost of the debt as the present value of the estimated future contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate and the adjustment is recognized as gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss.

Fees incurred in connection with the issuance of the debt, if any, are recognized as transaction costs and are included in the financial liability and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debt.

Debt is de-recognized from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is fulfilled, canceled or expired.

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Debt is classified as current liabilities unless, at the end of the reporting period, the Company has a right to defer the payment of a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

3.13.
Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities if, and only if, the obligations of the Company are fulfilled, canceled or expired.

In addition, when there is a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability, the Company accounts for it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability at its fair value, and any costs or fees incurred are recognized as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. By contrast, if the modification of terms is not considered substantial, transactions costs or fees paid to third parties adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified liability adjusted to reflect the presented value of cash flows under the revised terms using the original effective interest. The difference between the modified liability with the revised terms and the previous carrying amount of the liability measured at amortized cost is recognized immediately in profit or loss as modification gain or loss.

3.14.
Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal obligation present or assumed as a result of past events, it is probable that the outflow of cash is required to pay the obligation, and the amount can be estimated reliably. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate, over the reporting period, of

BBB Foods Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

the disbursement necessary to cancel the present obligation, the disbursement is constituted by the amount, rationally assessed, that the Company must pay to cancel the obligation at end of the reporting period, or to transfer it to a third party on that date.

3.15.
Income taxes

BBB Foods Inc., as an entity incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, is not subject to any form of taxation (See Note 18). However, the Mexican Subsidiaries are subject to tax legislation in Mexico.

The income tax expense includes the current and deferred tax. The tax is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, and
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax is recognized on the temporary differences that arise from comparing the accounting and tax values of all assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the year and are expected to apply when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are realized, or the deferred income tax is settled. The charge for current income tax is calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as of the date of the statement of financial position. The deferred income tax asset is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that future tax benefits will be obtained against which deductible temporary differences can be used.

The balances of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is an enforceable legal right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to the same tax authority or the same fiscal entity or different fiscal entities where there is an intention to settle balances on a net basis.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company did not have uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

3.16.
Employee benefits
i.
Short-term obligations

Wage and salary liabilities and annual vacations, which are expected to be fully liquidated within 12 months after the end of the period in which employees provide the related service, are recognized in relation to the service of the employees until the end of the period and are measured by the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities are presented as current obligations for benefits to employees in the statement of financial position.

ii.
Employee’s statutory profit sharing payable

The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for employee profit sharing based on a calculation that considers the taxable profit after certain adjustments. The Company recognizes a liability when it is contractually obligated or when there is a past practice that gives rise to an assumed obligation.

3.17.
Stockholders' equity

The capital stock is constituted by the share capital, and cumulative losses that are expressed at their historical cost. The proceeds received as part of the IPO, net of directly attributable transaction costs, were credited directly to equity.

3.18.
Revenue recognition
i.
Sales of merchandise

Revenue from the sale of merchandise is recognized when the merchandise is delivered to the customer at the point of sale (the store) and payment of the transaction price is received immediately from the customer in cash or through other means of payment. Sales of merchandise are recognized at a point in time when the goods are delivered to the client. The Company's policy is to sell all of its products with the right to return them; however, accumulated experience shows that sales returns are not significant, therefore if returns occur, they are recognized immediately by decreasing revenues and the Company does not record a sales returns estimation.

For the sale of products and services from third-party merchants, such as prepayment of cell phones, fees and commissions paid by customers from payment of basic services, the Company acts as an agent by connecting the sale with the final customers and has no control over the service provided by the third party. The Company recognizes revenue in respect of such sales on a net basis, representing the commission that it expects to receive in exchange for the services provided, and recognizes a liability in the item of accounts payable and accrued expenses in respect of the consideration that it receives from customers and will be remitted to the third-party merchants. As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, this revenue was not material related to the total revenue amount and therefore it is included in sales of merchandise in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

ii.
Sales of recyclables

Sales of recyclables (cardboard and stretch film primarily), are recognized as revenue when control of the products sold has been transferred to the customer.

3.19.
Sales and administrative expenses

The Company recognizes the sales and administrative expenses on an accrual basis. These expenses consist of the following:

i.
Sales expenses

Expenses related to the operation of stores, including wages and salaries of store employees, depreciation of properties, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets and amortization of intangible assets, energy expenses, social security contributions relating to store employees, maintenance and conservation expenses and cash-in- transit services.

ii.
Administrative expenses

Expenses related to headquarters, regional offices and the back office, including wages and salaries of administrative employees, depreciation, and amortization, energy, social security contributions of administrative employees, accruals related to options and RSUs granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plan, administrative services, advertising expenses, corporate services, maintenance and conservation expenses and professional fees.

3.20.
Operating segments

Segment information is presented in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker. He is responsible for operating decision-making, allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company. He supervises the Company’s performance as a single business unit, therefore, the Company has only one operating segment (See Note 23).

3.21.
Leases

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. For the rest of leases, depreciation is calculated using the lease term of the asset.

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following payments:

Fixed payments (including if they are in substance); and
Penalty payments for termination of the lease, if the lease terms reflect that the Company will exercise an option.

Lease payments that will be made under renewal options with reasonable certainty of being exercised are also included in the measurement of the liability.

Building lease payments are discounted using an incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right to use the asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, warranties and conditions. Store equipment and transportation equipment are discounted using the implicit interest rate as there are observable rates for these types of leases.

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company:

Where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing terms since the third-party financing was received, and
Applies specific adjustments to the lease, for example, terms, currency and guarantees.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

The Company is exposed to possible future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect.

When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate become effective, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted to the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged as an expense during the lease period in order to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognized under the straight-line method as an expense in income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets include minor machinery, printing equipment, and small office furniture items.

Extension and termination options are included in a number of the Company's property and equipment leases. These are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company's operations. Most extension options are held by the Company and not by the lessor.

The lease terms are indicated below:

Building

 

5 to 20 years

Store equipment (cold rooms)

 

10 years

Transportation equipment – trucks

 

8 years

3.22.
Earnings per share

Earnings (loss) per share are classified as basic and diluted. Basic earnings (loss) are intended to provide a measure of the participation of each share of BBB Foods Inc. in the performance that the Company had in the periods presented. Basic earnings (loss) are calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period attributable to the equity holders of the controlling interest by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company only allocated losses to class A shares, when determining losses per share, since there was no contractual obligation for Classes B, C, D and E to share losses as they have different liquidation rights. In January 2024, following the reorganization of existing shares, Class A shares have the same liquidation preferences as Class B and C shares, consequently, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, the weighted average of common shares included Class A, B and C shares (See Notes 17 and 21).

Diluted shares are intended to provide a measure of the participation of each share in the Company's performance considering the dilutive effects (reduction in profits or increase in losses) of the potential shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) of the year attributable to the equity holders of the controlling interest by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of shares that have dilutive potential.

Up to February 2024, the Company had a Convertible Note into equity; however, no dilutive effects were considered in the calculation of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023, since the Company generated a net loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company analyzed whether there were dilutive effects from potential shares arising from share-based payments, as the Company generated a net profit in such period. With respect to the 2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan (See Note 22), the Company determined that 1,310,000 options granted under this plan have an antidilutive effect because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the Company’s shares, considering that the exercise price includes the fair value of services to be rendered by the granted employees in the future. The rest of the options and restricted stock units granted have a dilutive effect.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company analyzed whether there were dilutive effects from potential ordinary shares arising from share-based payments (See Note 22) and determined that 29,191,816 out of 41,835,312 share options, along with 6,657,667 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), have a potential dilutive effect. However, since the Company recognized a loss during this period, it was determined that the 35,849,483 potential dilutive shares arising from share-based payments were antidilutive and therefore not considered in the diluted loss per share.

3.23.
Share-based payments

Common Options

On July 15, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an incentive for executives and employees designed to provide long-term shareholder returns. Under this plan, participants were granted options to purchase Class C shares, as explained below. These options vest 25% annually over a five-year period starting at the end of the second year. Once vested, options become exercisable upon the occurrence of a liquidity event, such as an IPO, which is considered a non-vesting condition, since the grantee of the option had already earned the right of the option at the end of the vesting period by providing services to the Company as of such date.

Exit Options

In December 2020, the Board of Directors approved the granting of additional options to be distributed to Board members and key management in two tranches expiring on December 31, 2030. Both the vesting and the exercise of these options will be triggered upon the occurrence of an exit event, such as an IPO or a sale of the Company, and therefore these options are referred as “Exit Options”. To receive the award, the grantees must remain in service at the date of the exit event. The exit event is considered to be a vesting condition and there are no other vesting conditions to exercise the options.

The Common Options and Exit Options described above are considered a share-based compensation plan because it is equity-settled, since both plans provide the grantees with the option to acquire the Company’s Class C shares instead of receiving payment, based on the value of the Company’s shares.

2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan

On December 10, 2024, the Board of Directors and the stockholders approved the 2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan (hereafter referred to as “Equity Incentive Plan”), to provide a means through which to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. The Equity Incentive Plan consists of granting share options and restricted stock units (RSUs). Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan may be granted to employees, senior management, certain members of the Board and senior advisors. The Equity Incentive Plan is considered a share-based compensation plan because it is equity‑settled, since the plan provides the grantees the option to acquire the Company’s Class A shares instead of receiving a payment, based on the value of the Company’s shares. Vesting conditions and terms of the Equity Incentive Plan are described in Note 22.

Measuring and accounting

Common and Exit options (See Notes 1 and 22)

As of December 31, 2023, the Company was not publicly traded; therefore, there was no readily available market value for its shares. To determine the fair value of the Company’s stock options, management used an option pricing model and a binomial tree valuation model to determine the fair value of the options at their grant date. The impact of the non-vesting conditions is included in the fair value of the options granted. As described in Notes 1 and 17, on February 8, 2024, BBB Foods completed an IPO and listed its Class A common shares on the NYSE, and on January 28, 2024, the Board approved: 1) a reorganization of the existing shares; and 2) a 3 for 1 share split of the Company’s common shares, and each granted option was entitled to acquire 3 Class C shares.

For accounting purposes, the Company recognizes the expense associated with the Common Options using a graded vesting model with a corresponding increase to equity. Employees who are terminated with cause or leave the Company before their options vest will forfeit any unvested options. Conversely, if the employee leaves the Company and its options are vested, it can exercise them in the future, subject to expiration date and the non-vesting condition. The Company estimates the potential forfeitures in order to estimate the expense to be recognized and adjusts this estimate based on the actual forfeitures.

The share-based payments made in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were comprised of Ps. 2,930,222, Ps.523,143 and Ps.384,566, respectively, in respect of options under our 2004 Option Plan, and options and RSUs granted under the 2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Planand the Liquidity Event Share Plan, as applicable.

With respect to the accounting of Exit Options, management used an option pricing model and a binomial tree valuation model to determine the fair value at their grant date. The vesting period commenced on the grant date and finalized with the IPO and recognized an expense on a straight-line method during the vesting period, as the employee services were received, and the exit event was probable. If a key member of management or a Board member died or became permanently incapacitated before the exit event, the Exit Options of that person vested automatically on such date for the benefit of their heirs. If a key member of management or a Board member resigned before the exit event, the options were forfeited. The share-based payments expense in 2024 and 2023 related to the Exit options amounted to Ps.Ps.20,774 and Ps.140,214, respectively. The exit options were fully vested in 2024, and therefore no expense is further recognized starting 2025.

Vested options under the 2004 plan are subject to exercise restrictions approved by the Board. Under the restrictions, beneficiaries are generally not allowed to exercise until the end of the Liquidity Lock-Up on July 8, 2026 or in connection with a registered offering. The Board allowed option holders to exercise a certain number of options on a net settlement basis, and to sell the shares received in connection with the secondary offering mentioned in Note 22.

2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan

To determine the fair value of the Company’s stock options granted under the 2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan, management used a binomial tree valuation model. Options granted have different vesting conditions depending on the beneficiaries as described in Note 22. The Company accounted for expenses amounting to Ps. 218,885 and Ps. 27,171 in 2025 and 2024, respectively, associated with the Equity Incentive Plan with a corresponding increase to equity.

The Company estimates the potential forfeitures in order to estimate the expense to be recognized and adjusts this estimate based on the actual forfeitures. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the fair value of the Company's Class A shares on the grant date of the award.

3.24.
Application of new and revised standards that are mandatorily effective for 2025

In 2025, the Company adopted a series of amendments issued by the IASB that are effective for annual periods that begin on or after January 1, 2025. The conclusions related to their adoption are described below:

i. Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability

In August 2023, the IASB amended IAS 21 to help entities to determine whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, and which spot exchange rate to use when it is not.

The amendments did not have an impact in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

3.25.
New and revised IFRS issued but not yet effective

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (1)

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (1)

Issuance of IFRS 18

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (2)

Issuance of IFRS 19

Subsidiaries without Public Accounting Accountability: Disclosures (3)

 

(1)Effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2026

(2)Effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027

The Company is analyzing the potential impacts of these amendments and based on current progress, it does not expect that any of them will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, except for IFRS 18 with mandatory effective date of January 1, 2027. Retrospective application is required, so comparative information for the year ending December 31, 2026 will be restated in accordance with IFRS 18.

Note 4 - Critical estimates and significant judgments:

Estimates, assumptions and significant judgments are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from said estimates.

Estimates, assumptions and significant judgments are reviewed continuously. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the review period and future periods if the review affects both the current period and subsequent periods.

Below are the sources of uncertainty at the date of the financial statements, where management considers there is a risk of adjustments to the book values of assets and liabilities.

Significant judgments

4.1. Determining the lease term of contracts

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any period covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any period covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

F-23


BBB Foods Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options, if applicable. The Company applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination, including but not limited to the investment in non-removable leasehold improvements to avoid incurring a more than insignificant penalty if terminating those leases. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customization to the leased asset).

The Company included the renewal period as part of the lease term. The Company typically exercises its option to renew for these leases because there could be an adverse effect on the business operation if a replacement asset is not readily available. Furthermore, the periods covered by termination options are included as part of the lease term only when they are reasonably certain not to be exercised.

4.2. Classification of financial liabilities in supplier finance arrangements

The Company determines if liabilities that are part of supplier finance arrangements should be presented as suppliers or financial liabilities. The Company recognizes the liability as part of suppliers, only when those liabilities have similar nature and function to trade payables. Such as when the invoice is assigned to the financial institution to assist the supplier in obtaining affordable credit, and there is no change in the payment terms, or when the terms of the supplier finance are negotiated between the supplier and the financial institution and there are no fees or interest for the Company.

By contrast, the Company recognizes a financial liability presented separately when the size, nature or function of those liabilities makes separate presentation relevant, such as when the purpose of the agreement is to improve working capital of the Company, or the original payment terms change as part of the supplier finance agreement.

In addition, the cash flows related to the supplier finance arrangements are recognized in the operating activities, if the account payable by the financial institutions are those from working capital. In this case, the Company only recognizes the cash outflows that occur in the transactions with the financial institutions, but not the cash flows related between the financial institutions and the suppliers. However, if the Company recognizes a financial liability with a financial institution instead of a trade payable, cash flows are presented under the financing activities for the payments to the financial institution by the Company. In addition, the Company recognizes it as a cash outflow in operating activities and a cash inflow in financing activities when the financial institution pays the supplier.

Accounting estimates

4.3. Estimating the incremental borrowing rate of leased assets

The Company uses the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to determine the present value of its future lease payments. When the Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in certain of its leases, it uses its IBR to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company “would have to pay”, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available, or when the IBR needs to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary's stand-alone credit rating).

4.4. Share-based payments

Estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions (common options and Equity Incentive Plan) requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, determination of the most appropriate inputs used in the valuation model, including the expected life of the share option or appreciation right, the volatility, and making assumptions about them. For the measurement of the fair value of the equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant date, the Company uses a binomial tree valuation model. The assumptions used for estimating the fair value for share-based payments transactions are disclosed in Note 22.

Note 5 - Risk management:

Financial risk factors

The Company is not significantly exposed to the following risks:

Price risks: Since the product prices are not fluctuating in nature.
Credit Risk: Since the Company mainly conducts the majority of its transactions in cash.

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risks; interest rates risks and liquidity risks. Management focuses primarily on minimizing the potentially adverse effects on financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) under the policies established by the Company. The CFO identifies, evaluates and covers financial risks with the close cooperation of the Board of Directors. The Company establishes written principles for risk management in general, as well as written policies that cover specific areas such as liquidity risk, capital risk and investment of excess liquidity.

5.1. Liquidity risk

Cash flow forecasts are developed by the Company's finance department. The treasury department monitors liquidity requirements to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet operational needs so that the Company does not breach its financial commitments.

The excess cash on the working capital requirements is managed by the treasury department that invests them in financial institutions with high credit ratings, choosing the instruments with the appropriate maturity or sufficient liquidity that gives the Company sufficient margin in accordance with the cash flow forecasts mentioned above.

The Company finances its operations through the combination of:

1.
The credit obtained from suppliers has driven a positive working capital dynamic because of favorable payable terms relative to the high rotation of inventories and minimal receivable balances, as most of the Company’s sales are received in cash at the time of sale,
2.
The Company has historically used certain amounts of short-term and long-term debt with related parties and third parties to supplement its cash flows,

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

3.
In addition, the Company has entered into supplier finance arrangements with Santander and HSBC to provide its suppliers collect their invoices earlier without cost for the Company, which can lead to concentration of liquidity risk,
4.
The excess of cash is invested in short-term bank deposits, and
5.
Financings to fund the acquisition of store and transportation equipment.

Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents and the liquidity provided by short-term bank deposits will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months, considering expected organic growth.

The Company's contractual maturities of its financial liabilities are detailed below according to the maturity periods. The table has been prepared on the basis of cash flow without discounting, from the first date on which the Company may be required to pay. The table includes the cash flows corresponding to the principal amount and its interest.

The Company’s objectives in managing capital risks are safeguarding the Company's ability to continue as an ongoing business, maximizing benefits for stockholders and improving the capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

With the objective of maintaining or adjusting the capital structure, the Company can reduce capital in favor of its stockholders and / or to cover accumulated losses. Consistent with other participants in the industry, the Company monitors capital based on the operating leverage ratio.

A hypothetical variation of 10% in the Ps. / US$ exchange rate and keeping all other variables constant would have resulted in a profit or loss of Ps. 298,057, Ps.342,781, and Ps.462,376, in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

5.4 Interest rate risk

The Santander and HSBC credit lines are subject to a TIIE plus 2.0 and expose the Company to the risk of variability in interest rates and, therefore, to its cash flow. The Company continuously analyzes its exposure to interest rates.

The sensitivity analyses have been determined assuming the following:

If interest rates were 10 basis points below or above and all the other variables remained constant. The other items comprising comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased or decreased by Ps. 591 and Ps. 85, respectively, net of deferred taxes.

On April 12, 2024, the Company opened a Certificate of Deposit Account for a total principal amount of Ps.1,311,456 (US$80 million), and on June 12, 2024 the Company opened Certificate of Deposit Accounts for a total principal amount of Ps.1,286,936 (US$70 million). The Company recognized accrued interest of Ps.105,965 and Ps.79,183 in the 2025 and 2024 statement of profit or loss (See Note 20). Although the deposits in US dollars have remained constant, the appreciation in the exchange rate of the Peso in comparison with the US dollar has resulted in a reduction of the Mexican Pesos balance.

In the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have variable lease payments.

The Company had total cash outflows for leases of Ps.2,158,988 in 2025, Ps.1,457,011 in 2024 and Ps.1,186,260 in 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized Ps.120,527, Ps.123,160 and Ps.89,931 of depreciation of the right-of-use asset in the cost of sales, and Ps. 906,044, Ps.673,022 and Ps.508,100 in sale expenses, respectively.

The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align with the Group business needs. Management exercises significant judgment in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised (See Note 4.1). As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 the Company considered all optional extensions that are enforceable in its lease contracts; therefore, there are no future cash outflows derived from extensions that are not planned to be exercised.

In addition, the Company recognized an accrued interest of Ps.105,965 and Ps.79,183 in the 2025 and 2024 statements of profit or loss (See Note 20).

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount of cash and cash equivalents, short term bank deposits, sundry debtors and suppliers, approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturity. The net carrying amount of these accounts represents the expected cash flows to be received.

Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate interest-bearing loans and borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, and the risk characteristics of the financed project.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value hierarchy

The following is an analysis of financial instruments measured in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The 3 different levels used are presented below:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2: Other valuations including quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, which are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuations made through techniques where one or more of their significant data inputs are unobservable.

Santander

Tiendas Tres B has entered into a supplier finance arrangement with Santander pursuant to which a participating supplier receives the original invoice amount discounted at an agreed rate, and Tiendas Tres B pays Santander the original amount of the invoice within 60 days after the supplier collects the invoice from Santander. The aggregate limit of amounts invoiced under this arrangement is Ps.800,000. Pursuant to the terms of this arrangement, Tiendas Tres B has created a trust, which is meant to be an alternative source of payment in the case of a payment default. Cash flows coming from 419 stores are deposited in a bi-weekly minimum aggregate amount of Ps.300,000 in the trust account as a pass-through and released to Tiendas Tres B treasury on a daily basis, as long as no payment default occurs. This trust serves as well as an alternative source of payment for the Revolving Credit Line of Ps.426,000 the Company contracted with Santander. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 Tiendas Tres B had Ps.275,132 and Ps.152,795, respectively, available under this Agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company complied with all the covenants stipulated in the Santander Agreement and there are no facts and circumstances that indicate possible difficulties in complying with the covenants for at least the next 12 months.

HSBC

On June 2, 2023, Tiendas Tres B and HSBC entered into a supplier finance arrangement (the “HSBC Supplier Finance Agreement”) and a credit facility (the “HSBC Credit Line,” and together with the HSBC Supplier Finance Agreement, the “HSBC Agreement”). Effective September 17, 2025, the aggregate principal amount financeable under the HSBC Agreement is Ps.1,100,000. Pursuant to the terms of the HSBC Supplier Finance Agreement, participating suppliers may discount their invoices with HSBC, and they will receive the original invoice amount discounted at an agreed rate and Tiendas Tres B will then pay HSBC the original amount by the earlier of: (x) the date HSBC pays the supplier plus the number of credit days originally agreed to with the supplier, and (y) 90 days after the supplier collects the invoice from HSBC. The supplier selects which invoices are entered into the supplier’s finance. Once entered, such invoices are novated and the liability of the Company to cover such invoices is extinguished. Invoices that are not discounted with HSBC are payable to the supplier at the original maturity date. There are no commissions or interests payable to HSBC when invoices are discounted. Under the terms of the HSBC Agreement, the Company must comply with certain covenants, including restrictions on dividends, and has created a trust, which is meant to be an alternative source of payment in the case of a payment default, into which Ps.880,000 of cash flows have to be deposited (as a pass-through) on the trust each month. However, the deposits are released daily to Tiendas Tres B so long as no payment default occurs. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company complied with all the covenants stipulated in the HSBC Agreement and there are no facts and circumstances that indicate possible difficulties in complying with the covenants for at least the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance related to the supplier finance arrangement and, consequently, the Company had a total available amount of Ps.86,881 and Ps.362,450, respectively.

The carrying amounts of liabilities under the supplier finance arrangement are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

Note 17 - Stockholders’ equity:

Capital reorganization

On January 29, 2024, the Board of Directors approved, subject to the completion of the IPO: 1) a new capital structure with new Class A, Class B and Class C common shares, 2) a reorganization of the existing shares resulting in a reclassification of the outstanding Class A, B, C, D and E common shares into the new Class B and new C Shares, and 3) a 3 for 1 share split of all of the Company’s common shares, increasing the aggregate number of shares from 28,050,087 to 84,150,261.

Initial Public Offering

On February 13, 2024, in connection with its IPO, BBB Foods listed its Class A shares on the NYSE and issued 28,050,491 Class A shares, at an initial public offering price of US$17.50 per share, receiving net proceeds of

Ps.7,812,065, net of underwriting discount and incremental and direct costs. On that date, all of the outstanding common shares of the Company were subject to a 3 for 1 share split and the outstanding Class A, B, C, D and E common shares were reclassified into new Class B and new C shares.

Also, on February 15, 2024, some of the Company’s stockholders sold 5,610,098 and 5,049,088 Class A shares at a price of US$17.50 per share, pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the aforementioned Class A shares.

Secondary Offering

On February 5, 2025, BBB Foods Inc. announced the offering of 21,000,000 Class A common shares by certain selling stockholders at a public offering price of US$28.25 per Class A common share, and a total of 21,115,726 were finally sold. In connection with the offering, the selling stockholders granted the underwriters the option to purchase up to 3,150,000 additional Class A common shares. On February 21, 2025, the underwriters exercised their option and purchased an additional 2,222,705 Class A common shares. Including the additional Class A common shares, a total of 23,338,431 Class A common shares were sold in the offering. The majority of the transaction involved shares owned by the Company's original stockholders, and the Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of such shares.

The selling stockholders also included holders of stock options that decided to sell a portion of their shares that were exercisable at the date of the secondary offering, under the terms of the stock option plan. In these exercises, each participating option holder tendered to the Company for cancellation a certain number of options with the aggregate value of the strike price owed by such option holder. All of the shares received by the options holders were sold in the offering. The above resulted in an increase to the Company's capital stock by Ps.11,248 in respect of the issuance of 2,222,705 new Class A shares.

On January 29, 2025 some former directors of Company's Board exercised options, which resulted in an increase to Company's capital stock by Ps.18,433 respective of the issuance of 343,348 new Class C shares.

Vested RSUs

As of December 31, 2025, a total of 1,875,000 Class C shares (Ps.957,410) have vested under the Liquidity Event Share Plan, in addition to 93,333 Class A shares (Ps.54,917) vested from the 2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan (See Note 22).

The Company’s classes of shares are described below:

Class A Shares

The 62,141,441 Class A shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TBBB”, out of which, 93,333 correspond to vested RSUs. Class A shares vote together with holders of Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are entitled to dividends and other distributions, pari passu with the Class B and Class C shares. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Class A shares will be entitled to share ratably, pari passu with our Class B and Class C shares, in the distribution of all of the Company’s assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction with all our liabilities. Class A shares have no preemptive rights to purchase additional Class A shares in connection with any offering of shares by the Company.

Class B Shares

The 5,200,000 Class B shares are all owned, directly or indirectly, by the principal shareholder of the Company. Each Class B share is entitled to 15 votes per share on all corporate matters. Class B shares vote together with holders of Class A and Class C shares as a single class, subject to certain exceptions. Class B shares may not be listed on any U.S. or foreign national or regional securities exchange or market. Class B shares are entitled to dividends and other distributions, pari passu with Class A and Class C shares. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Class B shares will be entitled to share ratably, pari passu with our Class A and Class C shares in the distribution of all of the Company’s assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities. The holders of Class B shares have preemptive rights in connection with the issuance of any securities by the Company.

Each Class B share will convert automatically into one Class A share (i) upon sale into the public market; (ii) upon any transfer, subject to some exceptions; and (iii) at such time as the number of issued and outstanding Class B shares represents less than 1.0% of the aggregate number of the aggregate shares of the Company then outstanding. A Class B share will convert automatically into one Class C common share upon foreclosure or enforcement of any pledge over the Class B common shares.

Following the expiry of the Liquidity Lock-Up Period (on July 8, 2026), a holder of Class B common shares may also elect to convert a Class B common share into one Class A common share.

Class C Shares

The 49,393,697 Class C common shares are entitled to one vote per share on all corporate matters, out of which 1,875,000 correspond to vested RSUs. Class C common shares are entitled to dividends and other distributions, pari passu with the Class A and Class B common shares. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, Class C common shares will be entitled to share ratably, pari passu with the Class A common shares and Class B common shares, in the distribution of all of the Company’s assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities. Each Class C share will convert automatically into one Class A share upon (i) sale into the public

market; (ii) certain transfers permitted during the Liquidity Lock-Up Period; and (iii) upon expiry of the Liquidity Lock-Up Period.

Until the end of the Liquidity Lock-Up Period (on July 8, 2026), all of the options granted by the Company can be exercised only to acquire Class C common shares of the Company. Starting on February 8, 2024 and as of December 31, 2024, the Company had 45,000,000 Class C shares in reserve to cover exercises of the Common and Exit options, as well as 8,400,000 to cover exercises of the 2024 Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan.

Taxation on dividends

Dividends declared by Tiendas Tres B will be free of income tax if they come from Net Tax Profit Account (“CUFIN”, by its Spanish acronym). Any dividends paid in excess of CUFIN and reinvested CUFIN (“CUFINRE” by its Spanish acronym) will cause a tax equivalent to 42.86%. The current tax is payable by each of the Mexican Subsidiaries and may be credited against its current income tax of the year on which it is paid. The remaining amount may be credited in the following two fiscal years against the tax of the year or against the provisional payments. Dividends paid coming from profit previously taxed by income tax will not be subject to tax withholding or additional tax payment. For that purpose, income tax law sets the obligation of keeping CUFIN with profits generated up to December 31, 2013, starting another CUFIN with profit generated from January 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the sum of both CUFIN of the Mexican Subsidiaries amounted to approximately Ps.2,901,711 and Ps.1,592,401, respectively.

Note 18 - Income tax:

BBB Foods Inc., as an entity incorporated and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), is not subject to any form of taxation and therefore there is no tax rate to be applied, and this will continue in the foreseeable future. The BVI laws specifically provide that a BVI business entity such as BBB Foods Inc. is exempt from any income, capital gains, estate or other tax in the British Virgin Islands.

The statutory rate of income tax in Mexico applicable to the Company’s Mexican Subsidiaries is 30%. The tax result differs from the accounting result mainly, for those items that are accumulated and deducted differently for accounting and tax purposes, for the recognition of the effects of inflation for tax purposes, as well as for those items that only affect the accounting or tax result.

The Pillar Two rules issued have not been enacted in the British Virgin Islands, which is where the Company is incorporated, nor Mexico, which is where the Company has most of its operations; however, Pillar Two legislation was enacted in the United Kingdom, the jurisdiction in which the Scottish entities are organized, and came into effect starting January 1, 2024. Aside from the potential disclosures or information returns that may be required by each jurisdiction, considering Tiendas Tres B, S. A. de C. V., has an effective tax rate that exceeds 15%, no additional corporate tax was recognized in the years presented in the financial statements in connection with the Mexican source of revenue. Even if Pillar Two legislation or similar legislation is adopted by either the British Virgin Islands or Mexico, no additional tax is expected to be recognized.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carryforwards to the extent that the receipt of a tax benefit through future taxable income is probable. The Company did not recognize tax losses for an amount of Ps.-, Ps.1,871 and Ps.1,961 as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, since the recovery of such amounts was uncertain.

The temporary differences associated with investments in the Group subsidiaries generate a zero deferred tax, since BBB Foods Inc. is not a taxable entity as described above. The Company determined that the undistributed profits of its subsidiaries will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

Note 21 - Earnings (loss) per share:

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not present diluted earnings per share as it generated a net loss for such periods, which would result in an anti-dilutive effect. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company analyzed whether there were dilutive effects from potential ordinary shares arising from share-based payments, as the Company recognized profit in such period. The Company determined that all the 42,436,224 options (considering the 3-for-1 share split effected in connection with the IPO) granted to eligible employees, as noted in Note 22, had a dilutive effect. Additionally, in the estimation of the diluted earnings per share, the potential dilution of the Convertible Note was estimated until February 14, 2024, date on which it was settled.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company analyzed whether there were dilutive effects from potential ordinary shares arising from share-based payments (See Note 22) and determined that 29,191,816 out of 41,835,312 share options, along with 6,657,667 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), have a potential dilutive effect. However, since the Company recognized a loss during this period, it was determined that the 35,849,483 potential dilutive shares arising from share-based payments are antidilutive and therefore not considered in the diluted loss per share.

The information on earnings (losses) per share is shown below:

(1)For the year ended on December 31, 2023, the loss per share was estimated with the weighted average number of Class A shares, which totaled 4,000,000 shares. This estimation was based on the liquidity preference, as there is no contractual obligation for Class B, C, D, and E shares to absorb losses due to their differing liquidation rights. Furthermore, in January 2024, the Company enacted a 3-for-1 split of its common shares, resulting in a retrospective adjustment to the Class A common shares, increasing their number of shares to 12,000,000.

(2)For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the weighted average common shares was no longer based on liquidity preference since it no longer exist by a redesignation of the existing shares into Class A, B and C shares; thus, the weighted average common shares includes Class A, B and C shares considering the 3- for-1 split of common shares occurred in January 2024.

Note 22 - Share-based payments:

As mentioned in Note 3.23, the Company has the following stock option plans:

2004 Option Plan

The maximum number of Class C common shares that may be issued under the 2004 Option Plan was 45,000,000 Class C common shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the 2004 Option Plan. As of December 31, 2025, a total of 37,745,312 Class C common shares were issuable upon the exercise of Stock Options granted under the 2004 Option Plan, of which 28,986,153 Class C common shares correspond to Stock Options that are fully vested. Of the 37,745,312 Class C common shares issuable upon the exercise of Stock Options, 30,824,335 Class C common shares correspond to Common Options and 6,920,977 correspond to Exit Options, as described below.

The tables below set forth the number of Class C common shares issuable upon the exercise of Common Options and Exit Options granted per year (net of forfeitures) and the weighted average strike prices of the Class C common shares subject to Common Options and Exit Options (considering the 3-for-1 share split effected in connection with the IPO).

(1)The Company applied the exemption permitted by IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS, for share-based payments that were vested before the transition date and only applied IFRS 2 for the options granted in 2014 onwards. Therefore, the fair value of options granted from 2006 to 2013 has not been calculated nor recognized.

Liquidity Event Share Plan

The Company’s board of directors adopted a plan in 2023 (the “Liquidity Event Share Plan”) pursuant to which certain members of senior management and Bolton Partners Ltd., could become eligible to receive incremental equity compensation subject to the consummation of an IPO and further conditioned to the achievement of certain targets of enterprise valuation. The board of directors approved 7,500,000 Class C RSUs to be granted under the Liquidity Event Share Plan. After the IPO, the board concluded that based on the terms of the IPO, the conditions for delivery of the full amount of shares under the Liquidity Event Share Plan had been met and decided that Class C common shares would be delivered to the participants. On June 24, 2025, the Company's board of directors approved the specific allocation and delivery of the RSUs to Bolton Partners Ltd. and some direct reports of the Company's CEO pursuant to the Liquidity Event Share Plan. These RSUs will vest over three years in increments of 8.33% at the end of designated quarterly dates, starting with 625,000 RSUs on June 30, 2025, and continuing quarterly until March 31, 2028.

Note 23 - Segment information:

As mentioned in Note 3.20, segment information is presented in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for strategic and operating decision-making, allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company. The CODM supervises the Company’s performance as a single business unit and makes strategic decisions as a whole over the operations of the Group as the Group operates in a single industry in Mexico. The CODM does not review assets at a different level or category than those disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position. Based on those reasons, there is a single reportable segment in accordance with IFRS 8.

As the single reportable segment is the Group in its entirety and the accounting policies for this segment are the same as the Company’s accounting policies described in Note 3 - Summary of material accounting policies, there are no differences between the measurements of the Company’s single operating segment and the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, information about the profit or loss, assets, investments, expenditures and all other significant items of the Company’s single reportable segment can be found on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
