Management comments

Best quarterly volume performance this year driven by accelerated digital transformation and continued consumer demand for our brand portfolio

Our volume momentum accelerated this quarter as we delivered 3.7% growth, even in the context of the ongoing dynamic operating environment. Top-line grew by 12.1% with 8.0% revenue per hl growth, driven by revenue management initiatives and continued premiumization across most of our markets. EBITDA increased by 6.5% as our top-line growth was partially offset by anticipated transactional FX and commodity cost headwinds and increased sales and marketing investments in our brands.

Following the recognition of our brand building and creative marketing capabilities at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, we were honored to be named the World’s Most Effective Marketer in the Global Effie Effectiveness Index for the first time in our company history.

As we continue on our deleveraging path, our bond portfolio maintains a very manageable weighted average pre-tax coupon rate of approximately 4% with 94% of the portfolio fixed rate. The weighted average maturity remains more than 16 years with no near- or medium-term refinancing requirements.

Consistent execution of our strategy

We continue to execute on and invest in three key strategic pillars to deliver consistent growth and long-term value creation.

See Image 1.

1. Lead and grow the category:
This quarter we delivered a broad-based total volume increase of 3.7% with growth in more than 60% of our markets.

2. Digitize and monetize our ecosystem:
BEES is now live in 19 markets and has reached 3.1 million monthly active users as of 30 September 2022, a 7% increase versus 2Q22. BEES Marketplace is now live in 14 markets with 44% of BEES customers now also Marketplace buyers.

3. Optimize our business:
In 9M22, our EBITDA grew by 7.0% and, as a result of deleveraging, our net interest expense decreased by approximately 200 million USD versus 9M21.

1. Lead and grow the category:
We are executing on five proven and scalable levers to drive category expansion:

  • Inclusive Category: In 3Q22, consumer      participation with our portfolio increased in most of our focus markets,      according to our estimates, driven by brand, pack and liquid innovations      focused on expanding inclusivity and accessibility. For example, in      Mexico, our pack size initiatives across both upsizing and downsizing grew      strong double-digits this quarter, contributing over 1 million hl’s in      volume and improving profitability in both the core and above core      segments of our portfolio.

  • Core Superiority: In 3Q22, our mainstream      portfolio continued to outperform the industry across the majority of our      focus markets, according to our estimates, and delivered low-teens revenue      growth, led by particularly strong performances in Mexico, Brazil and      South Africa.

  • Occasions Development: Our global non-alcohol beer      portfolio delivered double-digit revenue growth this quarter led by      Budweiser Zero and Stella Artois Liberté in the US.

  • Premiumization: Our above core portfolio grew      revenue by low-teens this quarter, led by continued double-digit growth of      Michelob ULTRA in the US and Mexico and further expansion of Spaten in      Brazil. Our global brands grew revenue by 12.7% outside of their home markets      this quarter, led by Corona with 23.5% growth. Budweiser grew by 8.9%      despite the impact of COVID-19 restrictions in China, the brand’s largest      market. Stella Artois grew by 7.0% with continued growth in focus markets      such as the US and Brazil.

  • Beyond Beer: Our global Beyond Beer business      grew revenue by over 10% this quarter, contributing more than 400 million      USD of revenue. In the US, within the spirits-based ready-to-drink      segment, our portfolio continued to grow strong double-digits, ahead of      the industry, led by Cutwater and NÜTRL vodka seltzer. In South Africa,      Brutal Fruit and Flying Fish delivered continued double-digit volume      growth.

2. Digitize and monetize our ecosystem

  • Digitizing our relationships with our more than 6      million customers globally: As      of 30 September 2022, BEES is live in 19 markets with approximately 57% of      our revenues now through B2B digital platforms. In 3Q22, BEES      reached 3.1 million monthly active users and captured approximately 7.7      billion USD in gross merchandise value (GMV), growth of over 40% versus      3Q21. BEES Marketplace is now live in 14 markets and generated September      annualized revenues from sales of third party products of approximately      850 million USD. As of September 2022, 44% of BEES customers were also      Marketplace buyers.

  • Leading the way in DTC solutions: Our digital direct-to-consumer      (DTC) products, Ze Delivery, TaDa and PerfectDraft are now available in 17      markets and generated over 100 million USD in revenue and 17 million      orders in the quarter. Our network of physical retail products, such as      Modelorama in Mexico and Pit Stop in Brazil, continued to deliver revenue      growth across our footprint of approximately 13 000 stores. Combined, our      omni-channel DTC ecosystem of digital and physical DTC products generated      revenue of over 1 billion USD in 9M22, mid-teens growth versus 9M21.

3. Optimize our business
In 9M22, we continued to focus on disciplined resource allocation and delivered 7.0% EBITDA growth. Our bond portfolio maintains a very manageable weighted average pre-tax coupon rate of approximately 4% with 94% of the portfolio fixed rate. Our net interest expense for 9M22 decreased by approximately 200 million USD versus 9M21, principally as a result of our gross debt reduction efforts.

Advancing our ESG priorities
As we continue to advance our sustainability agenda, we were proud to recently be included on Fortune’s Change the World List in recognition of our global initiatives in water stewardship. We are also making progress towards our ambition to achieve net zero by 2040, reaching carbon neutrality at five facilities in Brazil and one in Argentina in 9M22.

Creating a future with more cheers
Through the implementation of our category expansion levers, we continue to lead and grow the beer category resulting in broad-based volume growth of 3.7% this quarter. We are digitizing and monetizing our ecosystem with 57% of our revenue now through digital channels and we continue to optimize our business through efficient resource allocation and dynamically balancing our capital allocation priorities to drive long-term value creation. We remain focused on the consistent execution of our strategy and ESG priorities to generate value for our stakeholders and deliver on our purpose to create a future with more cheers.

2022 Outlook

  1. Overall Performance: We expect our FY22 EBITDA to      grow between 6-8% and our revenue to grow ahead of EBITDA from a healthy      combination of volume and price. Our medium-term outlook, which aims to      deliver EBITDA growth of 4-8%, remains unchanged.

  2. Net Finance Costs: Net pension interest expenses      and accretion expenses are expected to be in the range of 170 to 200      million USD per quarter, depending on currency and interest rate      fluctuations. We expect the average gross debt coupon in FY22 to be      approximately 4.0%. Net finance costs will continue to be impacted by any      gains and losses related to the hedging of our share-based payment      programs.

  3. Effective Tax Rates (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR      in FY22 to be in the range of 28% to 30% excluding any gains and losses      relating to the hedging of our share-based payment programs. The ETR      outlook does not consider the impact of potential future changes in      legislation.

  4. Net Capital Expenditure: We expect net capital      expenditure of between 4.5 and 5.0 billion USD in FY22.

Consolidated other operating income/(expenses) in 9M22 increased by 9.9% primarily driven by higher government grants. In 9M22, Ambev recognized 201 million USD income in other operating income related to tax credits (9M21: 226 million USD). The net impact is presented as a scope change and does not affect the presented organic growth rates.

Normalized EBITDA and normalized EBIT are measures utilized by AB InBev to demonstrate the company’s underlying performance.

Normalized EBITDA is calculated excluding the following effects from profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev: (i) non-controlling interest; (ii) income tax expense; (iii) share of results of associates; (iv) non-underlying share of results of associates; (v) net finance cost; (vi) non-underlying net finance cost; (vii) non-underlying items above EBIT; and (viii) depreciation, amortization and impairment.

Normalized EBITDA and normalized EBIT are not accounting measures under IFRS accounting and should not be considered as an alternative to profit attributable to equity holders as a measure of operational performance, or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Normalized EBITDA and normalized EBIT do not have a standard calculation method and AB InBev’s definition of normalized EBITDA and normalized EBIT may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Notes
To facilitate the understanding of AB InBev’s underlying performance, the analyses of growth, including all comments in this press release, unless otherwise indicated, are based on organic growth and normalized numbers. In other words, financials are analyzed eliminating the impact of changes in currencies on translation of foreign operations, and scope changes. Scope changes represent the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, the start or termination of activities or the transfer of activities between segments, curtailment gains and losses and year over year changes in accounting estimates and other assumptions that management does not consider as part of the underlying performance of the business. All references per hectoliter (per hl) exclude US non-beer activities. Whenever presented in this document, all performance measures (EBITDA, EBIT, profit, tax rate, EPS) are presented on a “normalized” basis, which means they are presented before non-underlying items. Non-underlying items are either income or expenses which do not occur regularly as part of the normal activities of the Company. They are presented separately because they are important for the understanding of the underlying sustainable performance of the Company due to their size or nature. Normalized measures are additional measures used by management and should not replace the measures determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s performance. We are reporting the results from Argentina applying hyperinflation accounting, starting from the 3Q18 results release in which we accounted for the hyperinflation impact for the first nine months of 2018. The IFRS rules (IAS 29) require us to restate the year-to-date results for the change in the general purchasing power of the local currency, using official indices before converting the local amounts at the closing rate of the period. These impacts are excluded from organic calculations and are identified separately in the annexes within the column labeled “Hyperinflation restatement” for the quarter and within the column “Currency translation” year to date. In 9M22, we reported a positive impact on the profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev of 52 million USD. The impact in 9M22 normalized EPS was 0.03 USD. Values in the figures and annexes may not add up, due to rounding. 3Q22 and 9M22 EPS is based upon a weighted average of 2 012 million shares compared to a weighted average of 2 006 million shares for 3Q21 and 9M21.
