Management comments
Continued earnings growth, margin expansion and solid free cash flow generation
In 2025, we continued to execute our strategy with discipline, delivering consistent financial performance while further strengthening the fundamentals of our business. Our teams remained focused on building great brands, operating efficiently and increasing our capital allocation flexibility. Momentum improved across many of our key markets in 4Q25 and we enter 2026 well positioned to engage consumers and accelerate growth.
Beer is a vibrant and resilient category, deeply connected to consumers across social occasions and embedded in culture. While near-term demand in some key markets was impacted by a constrained consumer environment and unseasonable weather, the long-term fundamentals and growth potential of the category remain unchanged. Our brands are iconic, our geographic footprint is advantaged, and our execution capabilities continue to strengthen.
The fundamentals of our business underpinned another year of solid financial performance. Revenue increased by
Our ability to deliver consistent results across varying operating conditions is a testament to the durability of our strategy and the resilience of our business.
Progressing our strategic priorities
-
Lead and grow the category
In FY25, we invested7.4 billion USD in sales and marketing behind our megabrands, mega platforms and brand building capabilities to lead the long-term growth of the industry. The beer and Beyond Beer category is forecast to continue to gain share of alcohol beverages globally in FY25, with further growth projected over the next 5 years, according to IWSR. We estimate we gained or maintained market share in two thirds of our markets, with our megabrands leading our growth with a4.1% revenue increase.
Our portfolio of brands is unparalleled. We hold 20 iconic billion-dollar revenue beer brands and 8 out of the top 10 most valuable beer brands in the world, with Corona and Budweiser remaining the #1 and #2, according to Kantar BrandZ. In Beyond Beer, we are investing to fuel the momentum behind fast growing brands such as Cutwater, Nutrl, Flying Fish and Brutal Fruit. Our mega platform approach is a core element of how we build brands effectively at scale. Our activations in some of the largest consumer moments such as the Super Bowl, NBA, FIFA Club World Cup, Wimbledon, Roland Garros and Lollapalooza were a key contributor to our portfolio brand power reaching a record high in 2025. Our marketing effectiveness and creativity were recognized by being named the most effective marketer in the world by both Effies and the World Advertising Research Center for the fourth consecutive year.
Driven by performance across each of the category expansion levers and participation gains in Corona, Beyond Beer and our no-alcohol beer brands, we estimate that the number of legal drinking age consumers purchasing our portfolio increased versus FY24.

50% of our FY25 revenue and delivered flattish revenue growth year-on-year, with growth inAfrica , Middle Americas andSouth America offset by a soft industry inEurope andNorth America .

35% of our FY25 revenue and grew revenue by low-single digits. Corona led our performance, increasing revenue by8.3% outside ofMexico with double-digit volume growth in 30 markets. In the US, Michelob Ultra was the #1 volume share gainer and is now the leading brand by volume in the industry. InBrazil , our premium and above portfolio continued to gain share and now leads the premium segment.

Balanced choices: Growth in FY25 was driven by our no-alcohol beer portfolio which delivered a
34% revenue increase. No-alcohol beer performance was led by Corona Cero which grew volumes by strong double-digits.

-
Monetizing our route-to-market: The growth of BEES Marketplace GMV accelerated in FY25, increasing by
61% versus FY24 to reach3.5 billion USD from sales of third-party products. Growth was led by the expansion of the asset-light 3P model from which GMV approximately tripled year-over-year.
-
Leading the way in direct-to-consumer (‘DTC’) solutions: Our DTC ecosystem of digital and physical products generated revenue of
1.3 billion USD this year. Zé Delivery, TaDa Delivery and PerfectDraft generated over 76 million e-commerce orders and delivered550 million USD of revenue in FY25, growth of8% versus FY24.

Maximizing value creation: The continued optimization of our business enabled us to increase our sales and marketing investments, strengthen our balance sheet through bond repurchases and redemptions, increase returns to our shareholders, and pursue accretive bolt-on acquisitions.
Efficient resource allocation and overhead management more than offset transactional FX headwinds to drive EBITDA margin expansion of 101bps. USD EBITDA growth, balanced net working capital management and lower net finance costs delivered another year of solid free cash flow generation with11.3 billion USD , consolidating the step-change delivered in FY24.
We continued to proactively manage our debt portfolio with bond repurchases and redemptions of6 billion USD and issuances of3.2 billion Euro , strengthening our debt maturity profile while maintaining our average coupon with our net debt to EBITDA ratio reaching 2.87x as of 31 December 2025.

Advancing our sustainability priorities: In 2025, we closed the sustainability goals we set in 2018 and we are proud of the goals we achieved and progress made on those we continue to work towards. Since 2017, we reduced our absolute GHG emissions across Scopes 1 and 2 by
44% and GHG emissions intensity across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by32% . We increased our percentage of operational renewable electricity by 67 percentage points since 2018 to84% . In sustainable agriculture,100% of our direct farmers met our criteria for being skilled, connected and financially empowered. In water stewardship,100% of sites in scope of our goal recorded measurable improvement in watershed health and our global water use efficiency ratio reached 2.38 hl/hl, a23% improvement versus our 2017 baseline. For circular packaging,89.7% of our products were in packaging that was returnable or made from majority recycled content in 2025.
Please refer to our Sustainability Statements in our 2025 annual report here for further details, including how our metrics are calculated and the related assumptions.
Delivering reliable compounding growth
A central objective of our strategy is to deliver reliable compounding growth over time. While each year will have unique dynamics, our focus remains on consistent progress across the 3 pillars of our strategy to drive long-term value creation.
Since FY21, we have increased our revenue by
The consistency of our financial performance is a reflection of our deliberate choices, clear strategic priorities and the unwavering commitment of our people to best-in-class execution.
Looking forward
We remain confident in the long-term potential of the beer category, which has structural tailwinds for growth and plays an important role in bringing people together and creating moments of celebration. The progress we have made in executing our strategy has driven consistent financial performance, increased our capital allocation flexibility and enabled increased returns to our shareholders while continuing to deleverage. We enter 2026 in a position of strength, with a highly engaged team, improved momentum across many of our key markets and with an unparalleled portfolio and lineup of mega platforms. From the Super Bowl to the Winter Olympics to the FIFA World Cup to our partnership with Netflix and, as from 2027, our sponsorship of the UEFA Men's Club Competitions, including the UEFA Champions League, we are uniquely positioned to engage consumers and activate the category. In closing, we would like to thank our colleagues around the world for their hard work, commitment, and passion, which continue to underpin our progress and performance.

Normalized EBITDA, Normalized EBIT and Underlying Profit are non-IFRS financial measures used by AB InBev to reflect the company’s underlying performance. Underlying EPS and constant currency Underlying EPS are non-IFRS financial measures that AB InBev believes are useful to investors because they facilitate comparisons of EPS from period to period.
Normalized EBITDA is calculated by adjusting profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev to exclude: (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 income or cost; (vi) non-underlying net finance income or cost; (vii) non-underlying items above EBIT; and (viii) depreciation, amortization and impairment.
Underlying Profit is calculated by adjusting profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev to exclude: (i) non-underlying items and (ii) hyperinflation impacts. Underlying EPS is calculated as Underlying Profit divided by the weighted average number of ordinary and restricted shares. Constant currency Underlying EPS is calculated as Underlying EPS excluding the effects of foreign currency translation by translating current period figures using the exchange rates from the same period in the prior year.
Normalized EBITDA, Normalized EBIT and Underlying Profit are not accounting measures under IFRS 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. Underlying EPS and constant currency Underlying EPS are not accounting measures under IFRS and should not be considered as alternatives to earnings per share as a measure of operating performance on a per share basis. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standard calculation method and AB InBev’s definition of Normalized EBITDA, Normalized EBIT, Underlying Profit, Underlying EPS and constant currency Underlying EPS may not be comparable to that of other companies.
