Management comments

Our 2Q25 and HY25 results demonstrate the resilience of our strategy and ability of our business to deliver reliable compounding growth.

Revenue increased in 70% of our markets and by 3.0% overall, driven by a revenue per hl increase of 4.9%. Volumes declined by 1.9%, impacted by soft industries and performance in
Progressing our strategic priorities
We continue to execute on and invest in three key strategic pillars to deliver consistent growth and long-term value creation.

(3) Optimize our business:
We continued to make progress on deleveraging with net debt to EBITDA reaching 3.27x as of
(1) Lead and grow the category
Our performance across each of our category expansion levers drove an estimated increase in the percentage of legal drinking age consumers purchasing our portfolio across our key markets, with increases led by our megabrands and no-alcohol beer portfolio.

-
Core Superiority:
Revenue of our mainstream portfolio increased by 0.4% in 2Q25, driven by high-single digit growth in
Peru and mid-single digit growth inColombia andMexico . -
Premiumization:
Corona led our premium performance in 2Q25, increasing revenue by 7.7% outside of
Mexico with double-digit volume growth in more than 30 markets. Our overall above core beer portfolio delivered a 5.1% revenue increase. - Balanced Choices: Growth in 2Q25 was led by our no-alcohol beer portfolio which delivered a 33% revenue increase and is estimated to have gained share of no-alcohol beer across our footprint, led by Corona Cero which nearly doubled volumes versus 2Q24. Our overall balanced choices portfolio of low carb, sugar free, gluten free and no- and low-alcohol beer brands delivered a revenue increase of 7.9%.
-
Beyond Beer:
The momentum of our Beyond Beer portfolio continued in 2Q25, led by the double-digit revenue growth of Cutwater in the US and Beats in
Brazil which drove an overall revenue increase of 6.4%.
(2) Digitize and monetize our ecosystem
-
Digitizing our relationships with more than 6 million customers globally:
As of
30 June 2025 , BEES was live in 28 markets with 71% of our revenues captured through B2B digital platforms. In 2Q25,BEES captured12.2 billion USD in GMV, growth of 10% versus 2Q24. -
Monetizing our route-to-market:
BEES Marketplace GMV growth accelerated in 2Q25, growing by 63% versus 2Q24 to reach
785 million USD from sales of third-party products. -
Leading the way in DTC solutions:
Our omnichannel DTC ecosystem of digital and physical products generated revenue of approximately
335 million USD in 2Q25. Our DTC megabrands, Zé Delivery, TaDa Delivery and PerfectDraft, generated 18.2 million e-commerce orders and delivered134 million USD in revenue this quarter, representing 6% growth versus 2Q24.
(3) Optimize our business
-
Maximizing value creation:
EBITDA grew by 6.5% and EBIT by 10.2% in 2Q25 as disciplined resource allocation and overhead management drove continued margin expansion. The combination of the optimization of our net finance costs and net working capital, and improved capex efficiency delivered free cash flow of approximately
1.4 billion USD in HY25, a0.5 billion USD improvement versus HY24. We continued to progress on our deleveraging with our net debt to EBITDA ratio reaching 3.27x versus 3.42x as of30 June 2024 . As is typical, the ratio increased versus FY24 due to the seasonality of our cash flow generation and cash outflow for our increased full year dividend and share buyback program. - Advancing our sustainability priorities: In Climate Action, our Scopes 1 and 2 emissions per hectoliter of production was 4.30 kgCO2e/hl in HY25, a reduction of 47% versus our 2017 baseline. In Water Stewardship, our water use efficiency ratio improved to 2.40 hl per hl in HY25 versus 2.50 hl per hl in HY24.
Delivering reliable compounding growth
In the first half of this year, our business delivered an EBITDA increase of 7.2% with margin expansion of 166bps and Underlying EPS growth of 8.0% in USD. We made strategic choices across revenue management, resource allocation, and increased sales and marketing investments to lead and grow the category. We continued to make progress on deleveraging while paying an increased dividend to our shareholders and completing our
2025 Outlook

The decrease in Normalized ETR in 2Q25 compared to 2Q24 and HY25 compared to HY24 is driven mainly by country mix.

Our free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities less net capex) increased by
-
Our cash flow from operating activities reached 2
704 million USD in HY25 compared to 2568 million USD in HY24. The increase was driven by changes in working capital for HY25 compared to HY24. Changes in working capital in the first half of 2025 and 2024 reflect higher working capital levels at the end of June than at year-end as a result of seasonality. -
Our cash outflow from investing activities was 1
306 million USD in HY25 compared to a cash outflow of 1732 million USD in HY24. The decrease in the cash outflow was mainly due to lower net capital expenditures in HY25 compared to HY24. Out of the total HY25 capital expenditures, approximately 34% was used to improve the company’s production facilities while 51% was used for logistics and commercial investments and 15% was used for the purchase of hardware and software and improving administrative capabilities. -
Our cash outflow from financing activities amounted to 5
837 million USD in HY25, as compared to a cash outflow of 3313 million USD in HY24. The increase in the cash outflow versus HY24 was primarily driven by the completion of our2 billion USD share buyback program, higher dividends paid and lower debt issuance in 2025 compared to 2024.
