Management comments
Consistent execution of our strategy delivered an EBITDA increase of 3.3% with margin expansion and low-single digit Underlying EPS growth
The consistent execution of our strategy and our disciplined choices in revenue and cost management drove resilient financial performance. Megabrand momentum, innovation in balanced choices and acceleration of our Beyond Beer portfolio drove continued top- and bottom-line growth and increased portfolio brand power. We estimate that we gained or maintained share in the majority of our markets, including the US, Brazil, South Africa, South Korea, Canada and Ecuador.
Revenue per hl increased by 4.8% driving a top-line increase of 0.9%, with growth in 70% of our markets. Volumes declined by 3.7%, impacted primarily by performance in China and unseasonable weather in Brazil. Revenue growth combined with overhead management more than offset transactional FX headwinds to drive an EBITDA increase of 3.3% with margin expansion of 85bps and Underlying EPS growth of 1.0% in USD.
Some key highlights from our performance this quarter include the following: continued momentum of our no-alcohol beer and Beyond Beer portfolios which both grew revenue by 27%; Corona continued to lead premium performance globally, increasing volume by 5.9% outside of Mexico and growing by double-digits in 33 markets; in the US, led by Michelob Ultra, which is now the #1 brand by volume in the industry, we continued to gain market share; and in our digital initiatives, the quarterly growth of BEES Marketplace GMV continued to accelerate, growing by 66% versus 3Q24, and now approaching 1 billion USD.
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.
(1) Lead and grow the category:
Our portfolio brand power grew in 3Q25 driven by consumer-centric innovation, increased marketing effectiveness and focused investment. In addition, we estimate that we gained or maintained share in the majority of our markets.
(2) Digitize and monetize our ecosystem:
BEES Marketplace captured 935 million USD in GMV from sales of third-party products, a 66% increase versus 3Q24. Overall BEES GMV increased by 11% versus 3Q24, reaching 13.3 billion USD.
(3) Optimize our business:
The AB InBev Board of Directors has approved a new 6 billion USD share buyback program to be executed within the next 24 months and a 0.15 EUR per share interim dividend. We continue to proactively manage our debt portfolio and announced today the redemption of approximately 2 billion USD of outstanding bonds.
(1) Lead and grow the category
Driven by performance across each of the category expansion levers, consumer participation with our portfolio was estimated to have remained stable across our key markets in 3Q25, with participation increases for our megabrands and no-alcohol beer portfolio.
- Core Superiority: Revenue of our mainstream portfolio increased by 0.8% in 3Q25, driven by high-single digit growth in Colombia and mid-single digit growth in South Africa.
- Premiumization: In the US, Michelob Ultra’s momentum continued in 3Q25, becoming the #1 brand by volume in the industry year-to-date. Corona led our premium performance globally, increasing revenue by 6.3% outside of Mexico. Revenue growth of our overall above core beer portfolio was flattish, constrained by performance in China.
- Balanced Choices: Growth in 3Q25 was driven by our no-alcohol beer portfolio which delivered a 27% revenue increase, successfully compounding on the mid-thirties revenue increase in 3Q24 following Olympic Games related activations. No-alcohol beer performance was led by Corona Cero which grew volumes in the low-forties. Our overall balanced choices portfolio of low carb, sugar free, gluten free and no-alcohol beer brands delivered a revenue increase of 6.5%.
- Beyond Beer: Growth of our Beyond Beer portfolio accelerated in 3Q25, increasing revenue by 27%, led by the triple-digit growth of Cutwater in the US.
(2) Digitize and monetize our ecosystem
- Digitizing our relationships with more than 6 million customers globally: As of 30 September 2025, BEES was live in 29 markets with approximately 70% of our revenues captured through B2B digital platforms. In 3Q25, BEES captured 13.3 billion USD in GMV, growth of 11% versus 3Q24.
- Monetizing our route-to-market; approaching 1 billion USD in quarterly GMV: BEES Marketplace GMV growth accelerated in 3Q25, growing by 66% versus 3Q24 to reach 935 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 325 million USD in 3Q25. Our DTC megabrands, Zé Delivery, TaDa Delivery and PerfectDraft, generated 17.9 million e-commerce orders and delivered 138 million USD in revenue this quarter, growth of 4% versus 3Q24.
(3) Optimize our business
- Maximizing value creation: We are committed to driving long-term shareholder value creation through a combination of profitable growth and disciplined capital allocation choices. Given the progress we have made on our deleveraging and our solid year-to-date financial results, the AB InBev Board of Directors has approved a 6 billion USD share buyback program to be executed within the next 24 months, and a 0.15 EUR per share interim dividend. We continue to proactively manage our debt portfolio and have announced today the redemption of approximately 2 billion USD of outstanding bonds.
- Advancing our sustainability priorities: In Climate Action, our Scopes 1 and 2 emissions per hectoliter of production was 4.22 kgCO2e/hl in 9M25, a reduction of 48% versus our 2017 baseline. In Water Stewardship, our water use efficiency ratio improved to 2.38 hl per hl in 9M25 versus 2.47 hl per hl in 9M24.
Delivering reliable compounding growth
In the first 9 months of this year, our business delivered an EBITDA increase of 5.8% with margin expansion of 138bps and Underlying EPS growth of 5.4% in USD and 11.8% in constant currency. We made strategic choices across revenue management, resource allocation, and increased sales and marketing investments to lead and grow the category. The quarterly growth of BEES Marketplace GMV continued to accelerate and is now approaching 1 billion USD. We continued to increase our flexibility for capital allocation choices and announced a new 6 billion USD share buyback program and an interim dividend. Our footprint has structural tailwinds for long-term volume growth with favorable demographics, ongoing economic development and opportunities to increase category participation through innovation in premium, balanced choices, and Beyond Beer. Our solid year-to-date financial performance and the fundamental strengths of our business reinforce our confidence in our ability to deliver our FY25 outlook and long-term value creation.
2025 Outlook
(i) Overall Performance: We expect our EBITDA to grow in line with our medium-term outlook of between 4-8%. The outlook for FY25 reflects our current assessment of inflation and other macroeconomic conditions.
(ii) Net Finance Costs: Net pension interest expenses and accretion expenses are expected to be in the range of 190 to 220 million USD per quarter, depending on currency and interest rate fluctuations. We expect the average gross debt coupon in FY25 to be approximately 4%.
(iii) Effective Tax Rate (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY25 to be in the range of 26% to 28%. The ETR outlook does not consider the impact of potential future changes in legislation.
(iv) Net Capital Expenditure: We expect net capital expenditure of between 3.5 and 4.0 billion USD in FY25.

Key Markets Performance
United States: Michelob Ultra now the #1 brand in the industry; our portfolio continues to build momentum and gain market share
-
Operating performance:
- 3Q25: Revenue declined by 0.8% with revenue per hl increasing by 2.0% driven by revenue management initiatives and premiumization. Sales-to-retailers (STRs) declined by 2.5%, estimated to have outperformed a soft industry. Sales-to-wholesalers (STWs) declined by 2.7%. EBITDA increased by 0.4% with a margin improvement of 42bps, driven by productivity initiatives, even as we continued to increase our marketing investments to fuel momentum.
- 9M25: Revenue declined by 1.2%, with revenue per hl increasing by 1.8%. STRs declined by 3.1% and STWs were down by 3.0%, and we expect our STRs and STWs to converge on a full year basis. EBITDA increased by 1.1% with a margin improvement of 80bps.
- Commercial highlights: Consistent execution and increased portfolio brand power drove our momentum with our business continuing to gain market share of the beer industry and the spirits-based ready-to-drink category, according to Circana. Our beer performance was led by Michelob Ultra, the #1 volume share gainer and now the leading brand by volume in the industry year-to-date, and Busch Light, which continued to be the #2 volume share gainer in the industry. We are the leaders in no-alcohol beer, with our portfolio growing revenue by double-digits, led by Michelob Ultra Zero which is the fastest growing no-alcohol beer brand in the industry year-to-date.

China: Top- and bottom-line declined, impacted by volume performance
-
Operating performance:
- 3Q25: Volumes declined by 11.4%, underperforming the industry according to our estimates, with our performance impacted by continued weakness in our key regions and channels and inventory management. Revenue per hl declined by 4.3%, impacted by increased investments to expand our in-home presence and negative brand mix, resulting in a revenue decline of 15.2%. EBITDA declined by 16.9% as productivity initiatives partially offset the impact of operational deleverage.
- 9M25: Revenue declined by 11.3% with revenue per hl declining by 2.2% and volumes decreasing by 9.3%. EBITDA declined by 11.8%.
- Commercial highlights: Industry volumes were estimated to have declined by low-single digits versus 3Q24, with a growing in-home channel outweighed by a soft on-premise. Our top priorities are to rebuild momentum and reignite growth. To achieve this, we are investing in our portfolio, innovation and mega platform activations, enhancing our route to market in the in-home channel, and expanding our footprint through targeted geographic expansion. As we move forward, our innovations will include the national rollout of Budweiser Magnum and launch of new packages for Budweiser and Corona such as the 1 liter can and a full-open lid can to bring the iconic lime ritual into the in-home occasion.

- Argentina: Volume declined by low-single digits in 3Q25, as overall consumer demand continued to be impacted by inflationary pressures. Since 1Q24, the definition of organic revenue growth in Argentina has been amended to cap the price growth to a maximum of 2% per month. Revenue grew by high-single digits on this basis.
- Africa excluding South Africa: In Nigeria, revenue grew by mid-single digits in 3Q25, driven by revenue management initiatives in a highly inflationary environment. Beer volumes declined by low-twenties, estimated to have underperformed the industry which was impacted by a soft consumer environment. In our other markets in Africa, revenue grew in aggregate by low-teens and volumes were flattish as we cycled a strong performance in 3Q24.
- South Korea: Revenue increased by mid-single digits in 3Q25 with mid-single digit revenue per hl growth driven by revenue management initiatives. Volumes were flattish, estimated to have outperformed the industry in both the on-premise and in-home channels, with top-line performance led by our megabrand Cass.

The 9M24, 3Q25 and 9M25 effective tax rates were negatively impacted by non-deductible losses from derivatives related to the hedging of share-based payment programs and of the shares issued in a transaction related to the combinations with Grupo Modelo and SAB, while the 3Q24 effective tax rate was positively impacted by non-taxable gains from these derivatives. Furthermore, the 9M25 effective tax rate included 56 million USD of non-underlying tax income, mainly reflecting 66m US dollar in income resulting from the renegotiation of the terms of the 2017 Brazilian Federal Tax Regularization Program. The 9M24 effective tax rate included 114 million USD of non-underlying tax expense.
The decrease in Normalized ETR in 3Q25 and 9M25 compared to 3Q24 and 9M24 was mainly driven by country mix.

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.
Interim 2025 dividend
The AB InBev Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend of 0.15 EUR per share for the fiscal year 2025. In line with the Company’s financial discipline and deleveraging objectives, the interim dividend balances the Company’s capital allocation priorities and dividend policy while returning cash to shareholders.

Recent Events
Announcement of 6 Billion USD share buyback program to be executed within the next 24 months
On 29 October 2025, the AB InBev Board of Directors approved a 6 billion USD share buyback program to be executed within the next 24 months1. Based on the closing price of AB InBev’s ordinary shares on the Euronext Brussels on 29 October, this amount represented approximately 97.3 million shares. Such number of shares will fluctuate depending on share price movements. The share buyback program will be implemented in accordance with industry best practices and in compliance with the applicable buyback rules and regulations. To this end, an independent financial intermediary will be appointed to repurchase on the basis of a discretionary mandate. The precise timing of the repurchase of shares pursuant to the program will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions. During the share buyback program, the company will regularly publish press releases with updates on the progress made (if any) as required by law. This information will also be available on the investor relations pages of our website under the return of capital program section (https://www.ab-inbev.com/investors/share-information/return-of-capital-program). Our current intention is to hold the shares acquired as treasury shares to fulfil future share delivery commitments under the stock ownership plans and/or, subject to approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 29 April 2026, to cancel the shares through a capital reduction. The program will be executed under the powers granted at the General Meeting of Shareholders on 28 April 2021 to be renewed, subject to approval, by the General Meeting of Shareholders of 29 April 2026.
Announcement of 2 Billion USD bond redemption
On 30 October 2025, the company announced the redemption of approximately 2 billion USD of outstanding bonds. Additional details will be provided in the press release section of our website at https://www.ab-inbev.com/news-media/press-releases/.
|
1 Repurchases after 31 May 2026, if any, will be subject to renewal of the share buy-back powers by the Company’s General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 29 April 2026. |
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. Since 1Q24, the definition of organic revenue growth has been amended to cap the price growth in Argentina to a maximum of 2% per month (26.8% year-over-year). Corresponding adjustments are made to all income statement related items in the organic growth calculations through scope changes. Scope changes also 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. The organic growth of our global brands, Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Corona excludes exports to Australia for which a perpetual license was granted to a third party upon disposal of the Australia operations in 2020. All references per hectoliter (per hl) exclude US non-beverage 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 since 3Q18. 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. In 3Q25, we reported a negative impact from hyperinflation accounting on the profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev of (18) million USD. The impact in 3Q25 Basic EPS was (0.01) USD. Values in the figures and annexes may not add up, due to rounding. 3Q25 and 9M25 EPS is based upon a weighted average of 1 986 million shares compared to a weighted average of 2 004 million shares for 3Q24 and 9M24.
