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

Colombia ,Peru and theDominican Republic . - Balanced Choices: Our Balanced Choices portfolio of low carb, low calorie, sugar free, gluten free and no-alcohol beer brands delivered a revenue increase of 17%. Our no-alcohol beer portfolio led our performance, delivering a 27% revenue increase and gaining share to now be the global leader in no-alcohol beer by value, according to Nielsen.
-
Premiumization:
Our above core beer portfolio delivered an 11% revenue increase. Performance was driven by Corona, Stella Artois and
Michelob Ultra which delivered revenue growth of 16%, 14% and 39% respectively outside of their home markets. Corona successfully activated the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics and increased volume by double-digits in 32 markets. - Beyond Beer: Growth of our Beyond Beer portfolio accelerated, increasing revenue by 37%. Performance was led by the global expansion of Flying Fish and by Cutwater in the US, which increased revenue by triple-digits and was the 3rd largest contributor by brand to our global revenue growth in 1Q26.
(2) Digitize and monetize our ecosystem
-
Digitizing our relationships with more than 6 million customers globally:
As of
31 March 2026 , BEES was live in 29 markets with 72% of our revenues captured through B2B digital platforms. In 1Q26,BEES captured14.6 billion USD in GMV, growth of 15% versus 1Q25. -

139 million USD in revenue, representing 5% growth versus 1Q25. Sales of third-party products through our DTC marketplace reached41 million USD in GMV, a 42% increase versus 1Q25.

1 May 2026 , we have completed1.4 billion USD of our6 billion USD share buyback program announced on30 October 2025 . - Advancing our sustainability priorities: After closing our 2025 sustainability goals, we have set new 2030 goals to strengthen resilience across our value chain, focused on agriculture, water, and energy and emissions.

Continued momentum and reliable compounding growth
The momentum of our business continued to start the year, with broad-based volume growth, revenue management and positive mix driving a 5.8% revenue increase. Top-line growth, disciplined cost management and translational FX tailwinds drove Underlying EPS growth of 20.8%.
We are encouraged by our performance in the first quarter and, looking ahead, we are well positioned to activate the category in some of the biggest moments of celebration of the year, including the
2026 Outlook
(i) Overall Performance: We expect our EBITDA to grow in line with our medium-term outlook of between 4-8%. The outlook for FY26 reflects our current assessment of inflation and other macroeconomic conditions.

(iii) Effective Tax Rate (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY26 to be in the range of 26% to 28%. The ETR outlook does not consider the impact of potential future changes in legislation.
