MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

 

Momentum continues with top- and bottom-line growth ahead of pre-pandemic levels

Led by the consistent execution of our consumer- and customer-centric strategy, we delivered top-line growth of low-teens versus 3Q19 pre-pandemic levels, despite ongoing COVID-19 impacts and supply chain constraints in some key markets.

On a year-over-year basis, we grew top-line by 7.9%, comprised of a healthy mix of 3.4% volume and 4.3% revenue per hl growth driven by revenue management and premiumization. EBITDA increased by 3.0% as top-line growth was partially offset by anticipated transactional FX and commodity headwinds, coupled with elevated supply chain costs in certain markets. Additionally, SG&A increased due to a volume-driven increase in distribution costs and higher variable compensation accruals.

In line with our financial discipline and deleveraging objectives, there will be no interim dividend. The Board’s proposal with respect to a full year 2021 dividend will be announced with our FY21 results on 24 February 2022.

Winning consumer- and customer-centric commercial strategy:

 

  ●  

Reaching more consumers in more occasions with our best-in-class portfolio:

 

  o

Leading and growing the beer category:

  ◾

Our mainstream portfolio delivered healthy revenue growth of 4.0% and we once again outperformed the industry across most of our main markets according to our estimates. Our premium portfolio continued to lead our growth, representing over 30% of our revenue and delivering 11.3% revenue growth in 3Q21. Our global brands – Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona – delivered 9.3% revenue growth outside their home markets, where they typically command a price premium.

  ◾

We continue to develop the beer category across our markets. For example, in Brazil we achieved our all-time high rolling 12 months beer volume in 3Q21. In Colombia, supported in part by our innovations across new styles, price tiers and packs, beer share of total alcohol increased by approximately 120bps year-to-date August versus the comparable period in 2019, resulting in the country’s highest beer per capita consumption (PCC) in 25 years.

  ◾

We continued to leverage our ‘prove and move’ innovation strategy to scale up our winning solutions, resulting in our innovation portfolio making up approximately 10% of our revenues year-to-date. In 3Q21, the double malt concept was scaled to South Africa with the launch of Castle Double Malt. We also further expanded our portfolio to address key consumer trends in health and wellness, with Michelob ULTRA now launched in ten new markets.

  o

Adding profitable growth in Beyond Beer globally: In 9M21, our global Beyond Beer business contributed 1.2 billion USD of revenue, with our hard seltzer portfolio expanding globally and growing 1.8x the segment in the US. We saw triple-digit revenue growth in the quarter of our leading canned cocktail brand, Cutwater, and Brutal Fruit in South Africa.

 

  ●  

Creating new value from our ecosystem using data and technology:

 

  o

Digitizing our relationships with our more than 6 million global customers: In 3Q21, our proprietary B2B platform, BEES, captured over 5.5 billion USD in gross merchandise value (GMV) with more than

    Press release – 28 October 2021 – 2

20 million orders placed, both metrics growing more than 20% from 2Q21. In September 2021, our monthly active user base (MAU) reached 2.1 million users. More information can be found at www.bees.com.

  o

Leading the way in direct-to-consumer (DTC) beer sales: In 9M21, our owned DTC business revenue surpassed 1 billion USD, with e-commerce as the largest contributor growing by more than 90% and reaching nearly 50 million orders, 1.5x greater than all of 2020. In Brazil, Zé Delivery is now present in 280+ cities covering over 50% of the population. We continue to scale our courier platforms in Latin America, now available in ten of our markets outside of Brazil, including Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador.

Advancing sustainability around the world

Following the announcement of our first carbon neutral brewery earlier this year in Wuhan, China, during 3Q21 we achieved carbon neutrality for our second brewery and first malthouse in Brazil. As pioneers in sustainable brewing, we will continue to pursue innovation and partnerships in support of the transition to a low carbon economy.

In September 2021, at the 76th session of the United Nations Global Assembly, we were recognized as one of only 37 Global Compact LEAD companies for our ongoing commitment to the UN Global Compact, its Ten Principles for responsible business and the related Sustainable Development Goals.

Continued momentum of our business

Our top-line growth accelerated versus pre-pandemic levels of 2019. We remain confident in our execution capabilities, our portfolio performance and our accelerated digital transformation. We are focused on meeting the moment and building on our momentum, investing in and accelerating our strategic priorities to drive long-term value creation.

2021 OUTLOOK

 

 

  (i)

Overall Performance: We expect our EBITDA to grow between 10-12% and our revenue to grow ahead of EBITDA from a healthy combination of volume and price. The outlook for FY21 reflects our current assessment of the scale and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is subject to change as we continue to monitor ongoing developments.

 

  (ii)

Net Finance Costs: We expect the average gross debt coupon in FY21 to be approximately 4.0%. Net pension interest expenses and accretion expenses including IFRS 16 adjustments (lease reporting) are expected to be in the range of 140 to 160 million USD per quarter, depending on currency fluctuations. Net finance costs will continue to be impacted by any gains and losses related to the hedging of our share-based payment programs.

 

  (iii)

Effective Tax Rates (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY21 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 increase versus 2020 is due to factors including the phasing out of temporary COVID-19 measures and changes to tax attributes in some key markets. 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 4.5 and 5.0 billion USD in FY21 as we are increasing investments in innovation and other consumer-centric initiatives to fuel our momentum.

 

  (v)

Debt: Approximately 48% of our gross debt is denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, primarily the Euro. Our optimal capital structure remains a net debt to EBITDA ratio of around 2x.

KEY MARKET PERFORMANCES

 

United States: Premium brands and innovations outperform but industry comparable and cost headwinds pressure top- and bottom-line

 

  ●  

Operating performance:

 

  o

3Q21: Both revenue and EBITDA grew mid-single digits versus 2019. Compared to 3Q20, total revenue declined by 0.8%, with sales-to-wholesalers (STWs) declining by 4.7% and revenue per hl growing by 4.1%. Sales-to-retailers (STRs) declined 4.7%, driven by a lower industry, segment shift and supply chain disruptions resulting in out-of-stocks. EBITDA decreased by 2.6%.

 

  o

9M21: Total revenue grew by 3.6%. Our STWs were flattish, with revenue per hl growth of 3.7%. Our STRs and EBITDA declined by 2.9% and 0.8% respectively. Versus 2019 top-line grew by mid-single digits.

 

  ●  

Commercial highlights: We remain focused on the consistent execution of our commercial strategy and rebalancing our portfolio toward faster-growing premium segments and adjacencies. Michelob ULTRA once again outperformed the industry, maintaining its position as the second largest brand by volume and retail sales, according to IRI. Our seltzer portfolio continued gaining share of segment, growing 1.8x the segment year-to-date. Our canned cocktail brand Cutwater once again grew by triple-digits this quarter.

Mexico: Continued momentum with top- and bottom-line ahead of pre-pandemic levels

 

  ●  

Operating performance:

 

  o

3Q21: Our business delivered high single digit top-line and mid-single digit bottom-line growth versus the same period in 2019. Year-over-year, top-line declined by mid-single digits as we cycled last year’s post-lockdown inventory replenishment. The top-line decline coupled with anticipated FX and commodity headwinds resulted in an EBITDA decline of low-teens in 3Q21.

 

  o

9M21: Top-line and EBITDA grew by double-digits, led by volume growth of over 17%.

 

  ●  

Commercial highlights: Our financial performance and continued market share expansion above pre-pandemic levels are fueled by ongoing portfolio development, digital transformation, and channel expansion through OXXO and Modelorama. In 3Q21, our above core portfolio grew by double digits versus 2019 led by Michelob ULTRA, Pacifico, and the Modelo Family. We are expanding in the fast-growing Beyond Beer segment through innovations such as Michelob ULTRA Hard Seltzer and Corona Agua Rifada. Our BEES platform continues to expand, now comprising nearly 70% of our revenue.

Colombia: Top- and bottom-line ahead of pre-pandemic levels with category development delivering record volumes this quarter

 

  ●  

Operating performance:

 

  o

3Q21: We delivered top-line and EBITDA growth of more than 30%, led by record volumes this quarter, and supported by category expansion, the continued easing of COVID-19 restrictions and healthy revenue per hl growth. Versus 3Q19, our volume grew by mid-teens and EBITDA by mid-single digits.

In 3Q21, we delivered growth across all segments of our portfolio, with our core brands, Aguila and Poker, growing by double-digits and our super-premium portfolio growing even faster, led by more than the 60% growth of our global brands. Our BEES platform continues to expand, now representing over 85% of our revenue, with an average Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 56.

  ●  

Operating performance:

 

  o

3Q21: Our business delivered revenue growth of 15.3%, with revenue per hl growth of 6.9%, driven by revenue management initiatives and favorable brand mix. Our beer volumes once again outperformed the industry according to our estimates, growing by 7.3% versus 3Q20 while lapping a strong performance, and by 35% versus 3Q19. On a rolling 12-month basis, we achieved our all-time high beer volumes in 3Q21. Non-beer volumes grew by 9.8%. EBITDA declined by 10.1%, with top-line growth primarily offset by transactional FX and commodity headwinds, coupled with higher SG&A expenses.

 

  o

9M21: Our volumes grew by 11.6%, with beer volumes up by 11.7% and non-beer volumes up by 11.2%. Revenue increased by 22.2%, with revenue per hl growth of 9.5%. EBITDA grew by 1.5%.

 

  ●

Our business continues to transform digitally, with BEES covering more than 85% of our active customers across the country and Zé Delivery fulfilling more than 15 million orders in 3Q21, with a positive growth trend in the number of orders throughout the quarter. All segments of our beer portfolio grew by at least double-digits versus the same period in 2019, with the premium and core plus segments leading the way, followed by mid-twenties growth in the core segment.

Europe: Continued top- and bottom-line growth ahead of 3Q20 and pre-pandemic levels, supported by premiumization and on-premise recovery

 

  ●  

Operating performance:

 

  o

3Q21: Our business grew revenue by low-single digits and EBITDA by mid-single digits versus the same period last year, supported by premiumization, operational efficiencies and additional revenue management initiatives. As vaccination rates continued to increase in our key markets and as the on-premise recovers, our performance is improving, driven by healthy distribution and market share gains for our portfolio. Versus 3Q19, our top-line grew by high-single digits and bottom-line by low-teens.

 

  o

9M21: Our revenue grew by mid-single digits with mid-single digit volume growth and low-single digit revenue per hl growth. EBITDA increased by high single digits.

Operating performance: 

 

  o

3Q21: Our business delivered volume growth in the mid-twenties versus 3Q20, with revenue per hl growing by mid-single digits, driven by positive mix and revenue management initiatives. Top-line growth and strong operational leverage led to EBITDA growth of nearly 50%. Although there were 25 fewer trading days versus 3Q19, our revenue declined by only low-single digits versus pre-pandemic levels, reflecting strong underlying consumer demand for our products.

 

  o

9M21: Volumes, revenue and EBITDA grew by strong double-digits.

China: Continued premiumization, though industry impacted by COVID-19 restrictions

 

  ●  

Operating performance:

 

  o

3Q21: The implementation of COVID-19 restrictions led to a total industry decline of mid-single digits, according to our estimates. The restrictions disproportionately impacted our key regions, leading to a 7.1% volume decline. Revenue per hl grew 3.6%, driven by premiumization, resulting in a total revenue decline of 3.8% and an EBITDA decline of 7.0%.

 

  o

9M21: Our volumes grew by 9.4% and revenue per hl grew by 7.3%, leading to total revenue growth of 17.4%. EBITDA grew by 26.6%.

Highlights from our other markets

 

  ●  

Canada: Our top-line grew mid-single digits versus 3Q19. Year-over-year, our volumes were lower due to a declining industry, channel mix and supply chain constraints. Positive brand mix from the outperformance of our premium and Beyond Beer brands partially offset the volume decline.

 

  ●  

Peru: We delivered double-digit top-line growth in 3Q21 versus last year and pre-pandemic levels, despite ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, through consistent operational excellence and investments in portfolio

transformation. Our BEES platform represents more than 80% of our revenue with an average customer NPS of 64.

 

  ●  

Ecuador: Our business momentum accelerated in 3Q21, delivering top-line ahead of 2019 pre-pandemic levels, even in the context of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. Year-over-year, we delivered double-digit volume and revenue growth. To support the country’s economic recovery, our teams collaborated on “Pasaporte de la Vacunación” a digital platform established to encourage vaccination. Our BEES platform now makes up 90% of our revenue.

 

  ●  

Argentina: We grew volume by 10% versus the same period in both 2020 and 2019, led by the outperformance of our core plus and premium brands, including Andes Origen, Corona and Stella Artois. Net revenue per hl grew by double-digits, driven by premiumization and revenue management initiatives in a highly inflationary environment.

 

  ●  

Africa excluding South Africa: We continue to deliver profitable growth across Africa. Despite the challenging operating environment resulting from COVID-19, our business improved in the majority of our markets this quarter, resulting in strong volume growth versus the same period in both 2020 and 2019. In Nigeria, driven by the performance of our portfolio and expansion of our route-to-market, we delivered both volume and robust pricing translating to top-line growth of over 30% in the quarter.

 

  ●  

South Korea: Our volumes outperformed the industry led by the continued success of our recent innovations, including the “All New Cass” and our new classic lager HANMAC. Volume declined by low-single digits this quarter in the context of the highest level of COVID-19 restrictions implemented since the beginning of the pandemic. Revenue per hl grew by low-single digits, driven primarily by favorable channel and brand mix.

Consolidated other operating income/(expenses) in the first nine months of 2021 increased by 38.1%, mainly driven by gains from sales of non-core assets in North America and Europe. As a reminder, in the second quarter of 2021, Ambev recognized 226 million USD income in other operating income related to tax credits following a favorable decision from the Brazilian Supreme Court. The impact is presented as a scope change and does not affect the presented organic growth rates.

Normalized EBITDA is calculated excluding the following effects from profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev: (i) non-controlling interest; (ii) discontinued operations results; (iii) income tax expense; (iv) share of results of associates; (v) net finance cost; (vi) non-underlying net finance cost; (vii) non-underlying items above EBIT (including non-underlying impairment); 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 for 2019, 2020 and 2021. 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. AB InBev has restated its 2019 results following the announcement of the agreement to divest Carlton & United Breweries (“the Australian operations”), its Australian subsidiary, to Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. AB InBev is presenting the Australian operations prior to their disposal on 1 June 2020 as discontinued operations in a separate line of the consolidated income statement “profit from discontinued operations” in line with IFRS rules. As a result, all the presentations of AB InBev’s underlying performance and organic growth figures do not reflect the results of the Australian operations. All references per hectoliter (per hl) exclude US non-beverage activities. References to the High End Company refer to a business unit made up of a portfolio of global, specialty and craft brands across more than 30 countries. 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 and discontinued operations. 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”. In 9M21, we reported a positive impact on the profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev of 29 million USD. The impact on normalized EPS was 0.01 USD in 3Q21 and 9M21. Values in the figures and annexes may not add up, due to rounding. 3Q21 and 9M21 EPS is based upon a weighted average of 2 006 million shares compared to a weighted average of 1 997 million shares for 3Q20 and 9M20.
