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 2.0%, with growth in 65% of our markets. Underlying EPS increased by 6.0% in USD and 9.4% in constant currency, and we maintained our solid free cash flow generation, delivering 11.3 billion USD. Disciplined revenue management and premiumization drove a revenue per hl increase of 4.4% and efficient overhead management supported an EBITDA margin expansion of 101bps.
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 invested 7.4 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 a 4.1% 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. - Core Superiority: Our mainstream beer portfolio accounted for approximately 50% of our FY25 revenue and delivered flattish revenue growth year-on-year, with growth in Africa, Middle Americas and South America offset by a soft industry in Europe and North America.
- Premiumization: We are the global leader in premium and super premium beer. Our above core beer portfolio accounted for 35% of our FY25 revenue and grew revenue by low-single digits. Corona led our performance, increasing revenue by 8.3% outside of Mexico 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. In Brazil, 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. We are the leader in no-alcohol beer in many of our key markets, including the US, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Belgium, and see significant headroom for future growth. Our overall balanced choices portfolio of low carb, sugar free, gluten free and no-alcohol beer brands delivered a revenue increase of 8.9%.
- Beyond Beer: The growth of our Beyond Beer portfolio accelerated in FY25, increasing revenue by 23% and now representing 3% of our total revenue. Performance was led by Cutwater in the US, which grew revenue by triple-digits and was the #1 share gaining brand in the total spirits industry in 4Q25, and Brutal Fruit and Flying Fish which were expanded to new markets across Africa, Europe and Latin America.
-
Digitize and monetize our ecosystem
We continued to progress our digital transformation by expanding the availability and usage of BEES, accelerating the growth of BEES Marketplace and scaling our digital DTC solutions. - Digitizing our relationships with our more than 6 million customers globally: As of 31 December 2025, BEES was live in 29 markets, with 72% of our revenues captured through B2B digital platforms. In FY25, BEES captured 52.5 billion USD in GMV, growth of 12% versus FY24.
- Monetizing our route-to-market: The growth of BEES Marketplace GMV accelerated in FY25, increasing by 61% versus FY24 to reach 3.5 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 delivered 550 million USD of revenue in FY25, growth of 8% versus FY24.
- Optimize our business
-
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 with 11.3 billion USD, consolidating the step-change delivered in FY24.
We continued to proactively manage our debt portfolio with bond repurchases and redemptions of 6 billion USD and issuances of 3.2 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.
The AB InBev Board of Directors has proposed a final dividend of 1.00 EUR per share, which combined with the interim dividend of 0.15 EUR per share, represents a 15% increase versus FY24, with the ambition to continue a progressive dividend over time. In addition, as of 9 February 2026 we have completed 635 million USD of our 6 billion USD share buyback program announced on 30 October 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 by 32%. We increased our percentage of operational renewable electricity by 67 percentage points since 2018 to 84%. 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, a 23% 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 5 billion USD, EBITDA by 2 billion USD and free cash flow by 2 billion USD. Our Underlying EPS has increased by a CAGR of 6.7% in USD. Our financial performance has been consistent, with organic EBITDA growth within or above our medium-term growth outlook in every year. We have been disciplined in our capital allocation choices, reducing net debt by 15.3 billion USD to reach 2.87x net debt to EBITDA, progressively increased our dividend each year, including the payment of an interim dividend in 2025, completed 3.2 billion USD of share buybacks, and are currently executing a further 6 billion USD program.
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.
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.
(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 FY26 to be approximately 4%.
(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.
(iv) Net Capital Expenditure: We expect net capital expenditure of between 3.5 and 4.0 billion USD in FY26.

Operating performance:
- 4Q25: Revenue increased by mid-single digits with revenue per hl growth of mid-single digits, driven by revenue management and premiumization. Volumes grew by low-single digits, estimated to be in-line with the beer and Beyond Beer industry. EBITDA grew by low-single digits.
- FY25: Revenue increased by mid-single digits with revenue per hl growth of low-single digits. Volumes grew by low-single digits, estimated to have outperformed the industry in both beer and Beyond Beer. EBITDA grew by mid-single digits.
- Commercial highlights: Both the beer and Beyond Beer categories continued to grow and gain share of alcohol beverages this year according to our estimates. The momentum of our business continued, with focused investments in our megabrands increasing the brand power of our portfolio. Our performance was led by our premium and super premium beer brands, which grew volumes by mid-teens. In Beyond Beer, our portfolio grew volumes by high-single digits led by Flying Fish and our spirits-based RTD innovations.
China: Top- and bottom-line declined, impacted by volume performance
-
Operating performance:
- 4Q25: Volumes declined by 3.9%, estimated to be in-line with a soft industry which was impacted by shipment phasing from a later Chinese New Year. Revenue per hl declined by 7.7%, driven by increased investments to expand our in-home presence, resulting in a revenue decline of 11.3%. EBITDA declined by 38.7%, impacted by top-line performance.
- FY25: Volumes declined by 8.6%. Revenue per hl decreased by 3.0% resulting in a revenue decline of 11.3%. EBITDA declined by 14.7%.
- Commercial highlights: The beer industry showed signs of stabilization in FY25 with volumes estimated to have declined by low-single digits. Our FY25 results in China were below our potential as we adjusted inventory levels to better reflect the channel and geographic shifts in the industry and worked towards better positioning our business to participate in the growth areas. In 4Q25, we estimate our market share trend improved to be flat versus 4Q24, driven by improvements in Budweiser brand power and in-home channel performance. As we move forward, we are focused on rebuilding momentum and reigniting growth. To achieve this, we will continue to invest 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. In FY25, we expanded innovations in brands, such as the national rollout of Budweiser Magnum, and in packaging, such as the launch of the 1 liter can and the Corona full-open lid can.
Highlights from our other markets

The 4Q24, FY24 and FY25 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 4Q25 effective tax rate was positively impacted by non-taxable gains from these derivatives.
Furthermore, the FY25 effective tax rate included 156 million USD of non-underlying tax income, while the FY24 effective tax rate included 205 million USD of non-underlying tax expense. The difference in Normalized ETR in 4Q25 and FY25 compared to 4Q24 and FY24 was primarily due to 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.

Our free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities less net capex) amounted to 11 331 million USD in FY25, in-line with FY24. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by 3 million USD in FY25, compared to an increase of 1 942 million USD in FY24, with the following movements:
- Our cash flow from operating activities reached 14 883 million USD in FY25 compared to 15 055 million USD in FY24. The decrease was driven primarily by working capital movements.
- Our cash outflow from investing activities was 3 436 million USD in FY25 compared to a cash outflow of 3 259 million USD in FY24, with FY24 positively impacted by proceeds from the sale of our share in associate Ghost Beverages LLC. Out of the total FY25 capital expenditures, approximately 26% was used to improve the company’s production facilities while 50% was used for logistics and commercial investments and 24% was used for improving administrative capabilities and for the purchase of hardware and software.
- Our cash outflow from financing activities amounted to 11 450 million USD in FY25, as compared to a cash outflow of 9 854 million USD in FY24. The increase in the cash outflow versus FY24 was primarily driven by higher dividends paid, and increased cash outflow for share buybacks.
Our net debt increased to 60.9 billion USD as of 31 December 2025 from 60.6 billion USD as of 31 December 2024. Our net debt to normalized EBITDA ratio was 2.87x as of 31 December 2025. Our optimal capital structure is a net debt to normalized EBITDA ratio of around 2x.
We continue to proactively manage our debt portfolio. After bond repurchases and redemptions of 6 billion USD and issuances of 3.2 billion Euro in FY25, 98% of our bond portfolio holds a fixed-interest rate, 51% is denominated in currencies other than USD and maturities are well-distributed across the next several years.
As of 31 December 2025, we had total liquidity of 22.0 billion USD, which consisted of 11.9 billion USD of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in debt securities less bank overdrafts and 10.1 billion USD available under committed long-term credit facilities.
Proposed final dividend for the fiscal year 2025
The AB InBev Board of Directors proposes a final dividend of 1.00 EUR per share, subject to approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 29 April 2026. In line with the Company’s financial discipline and deleveraging objectives, the proposed final dividend balances the Company’s capital allocation priorities and dividend policy while returning cash to shareholders.

Recent Events
Re-acquisition of minority stake in US-based Metal Container Plants
On 30 January 2026, AB InBev announced the completion of the re-acquisition of the 49.9% minority stake in AB InBev’s US-based metal container plants from a consortium of institutional investors led and/or advised by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) for approximately 2.9 billion USD. AB InBev previously announced it had exercised its right to reacquire this minority stake in a Press Release dated January 6th.
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 FY25, we reported a negative impact from hyperinflation accounting on the profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev of 74 million USD. The impact in FY25 Basic EPS was (0.04) USD. Values in the figures and annexes may not add up, due to rounding. 4Q25 and FY25 EPS is based upon a weighted average of 1 984 million shares compared to a weighted average of 2 003 million shares for 4Q24 and FY24.
