Interim consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2020 and report on review

Report on review of interim

consolidated financial statements

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Ambev S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim balance sheet of Ambev S.A. and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ambev S.A. and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2020, and the consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the quarter then ended, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34.

1. **** CORPORATEINFORMATION

(a) **** Description of business

Ambev S.A. (referred to as “the Company” or “Ambev”), is headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, and either directly or through participation in other companies, produces and sells beer, draft beer, soft drinks, other non-alcoholic beverages, malt and food in general, as well as advertising its own and third-party products, selling promotional and advertising materials and directly or indirectly exploiting bars, restaurants, snack bars and other establishments.

The Company’s shares and ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) are listed on the B3 S.A.- Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão as “ABEV3” and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as “ABEV”, respectively.

The Company’s direct controlling shareholders are Interbrew International B.V. (“IIBV”), AmBrew S.A. (“Ambrew”), both subsidiaries of Anheuser-Busch InBev N.V. (“AB InBev”) and Fundação Antonio e Helena Zerrenner Instituição Nacional de Beneficência (“Fundação Zerrenner”).

The interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 6, 2020.

(b) **** Major corporate events in 2020 and 2019:

COVID-19impacts

The outbreak of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) on a global scale has increased the volatility of the national and international markets and has affected the economies of the countries in which we operate and, consequently, the results of our operations. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has developed rapidly across the globe in a fluid and uncertain manner. In addition to voluntary and, in some cases, mandatory quarantines, restrictions on travel, on commercial and social activities, among others, as well as a ban on the distribution, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in some markets where we operate, are directly affecting our sales and distribution of products available and generating direct impacts on final consumer demand for our products.

For the period endedMarch 31, 2020

All amounts in thousand of Brazilian Reais unless otherwise stated

The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed by each government in response have generated, especially since March 2020, significant changes in market dynamics both in the off-trade sales channel, composed of supermarkets, and in the on-trade channel, which is composed of bars and restaurants. In countries with a higher level of income, a more mature beer market and a greater weight of the off-trade sales channel, such as Canada, we observed the behavior of stockpiled as consequenses increase our volume in the initial moment of the crisis. On the other hand, in countries with lower income levels and less mature beer market, volume has been impacted according to the market segmentation between the on-trade and off-trade channels; in those cases, the volume reduction is higher depending on the weight of the on-trade channel. In addition, we observed an increase in sales via e-commerce in all countries, although this channel represents only a small portion of the Company's volume.

Although the restrictions imposed by each government on commercial and operational activities, on the circulation of people and on the sale, distribution and consumption of alcoholic beverages are currently considered temporary, there is uncertainty related to their duration, the possibility of any government intervention or the imposition of other measures, as well as the economic effects on the financial market, exchange rates, among others. Those impacts may result in material adverse effects on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations, as well as volatility in the trading price of our shares. Therefore, the extent of COVID-19's impacts on our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, in addition to being out of our control, even with the possibility of new information on the severity of the virus, the scope of the outbreak and the actions necessary to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others.

The Company's management performed a set of analyses on the impact of COVID-19, which involved (i) a review of the assumptions of the annual impairment test, (ii) analysis of possible credit losses and inventory obsolescence, (iii) a review of the measurement assumptions of financial instruments, including hedges, (iv) analysis of the recoverability of deferred taxes, and (v) evaluation of the relevant estimates used in the preparation of the interim financial statements, among other analyses.

Any impacts derived from these analyses are reflected in the financial statements and explanatory notes, which include the accounting for exceptional items, totalizing R$10 million in the first quarter of 2020, as presented in Note 17.

Newacquisitions

On January 22, 2020, the company acquired G&W Distilling Inc., a company that produces a portfolio of ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages, through our subsidiary Labatt Brewing Company Limited.

Red Bull distribution contract

On November 7, 2019, the company entered into a long-term distribution agreement with Red Bull do Brasil Ltda. (“Red Bull”), whereby we have been granted the exclusive right to sell and distribute certain brands of Red Bull’s portfolio in specific limited points of sale for the on-trade channel in Brazil. We also have agreements with Red Bull to distribute their portfolio in a few limited channels in Argentina and the Dominican Republic.

Informationreleased by the press

In the third quarter of 2019, there were news reports based on alleged leaks of statements by Mr. Antonio Palocci in a legal procedure, to which the Company subsequently had access. As previously stated in a press release dated August 9, 2019, the Company, consistent with its Code of Business Conduct and principles, has remained committed to reviewing and monitoring this matter. In this regard, the Company has not identified evidence supporting Mr. Palocci’s claims of illegal conduct by Ambev.

The Company reiterates its commitment to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner, and it will continue to monitor this matter and will respond as appropriate to any requests from authorities.

Exchangecontracts for future financial flows - equity swap

On December 20, 2018 Ambev's Board of Directors approved the execution, by the Company or its subsidiaries, of equity swap contracts through financial institutions to be defined by the Company's management, having as underlying asset the shares issued by the Company or ADRs, without losses on the liquidation, within the regulatory term, of the contracts still in force. The settlement of the approved equity swap contracts will occur within a maximum period of 18 months from approval; such contracts may result in exposure up to 80 million common shares (which all or part may be through ADRs), with a limit value up to R$1.5 billion.

4. **** USE OFESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting practices and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and judgments are based on past experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for decision making regarding the judgments about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily evident from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Changes in accounting estimates may affect the period in which they are realized, or future periods.

Although each of its significant accounting policies reflects judgments, assessments or estimates, the Company believes that the following accounting practices reflect the most critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that are important to its business operations and the understanding of its results:

(i) predecessor accounting;

(ii) business combinations;

(iii) impairment;

(iv) provisions;

(v) share-based payments;

(vi) employee benefits;

(vii) current and deferred tax;

(viii) joint arrangements;

(ix) measurement of financial instruments, including derivatives;

(x) inflation accounting and financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies; and

(xi) leasing

The fair values of acquired identifiable intangibles of indefinite useful life are based on an assessment of future cash flows. Impairment analyses of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life are performed at least annually and whenever a triggering event occurs, in order to determine whether the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount.

The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods including the net fair value of expenses approach and option valuation models and makes assumptions about the fair

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements ****

All amounts in thousand of Brazilian Reais unless otherwise stated

value of financial instruments that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

Actuarial assumptions are established to anticipate future events and are used in calculating pension and other long-term employee benefit expense and liability. These factors include assumptions with respect to interest rates, rates of increase in health care costs, rates of future compensation increases, turnover rates, and life expectancy. Such estimates are reviewed annually by independent actuaries.

The Company is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income tax. There are some transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Some subsidiaries within the Company are involved in tax audits usually in relation to prior years. These audits are ongoing in various jurisdictions at the balance sheet date and, by their nature, these can take considerable time until their conclusion.

8. **** DEFERREDINCOME TAX AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

Deferred taxes for income tax and social contribution taxes are calculated on temporary differences between the tax bases of these taxes and the accounting calculation of the Company, among which, tax losses. The rates of these taxes in Brazil, which are expected at the realization of deferred taxes, are 25% for income tax and 9% for social contribution. For the other regions in which the Company operates, the expected rates are as follow:

Central America and the Caribbean from 15% to<br> 27%
Latin America - South ^(i)^ from 10% to<br> 30%
Canada 26.5%

(i) Amendments to Argentine tax legislation approved on December 29, 2017 affected the Company beginning in October 2018 and reduced the income tax rate in the first two years from 35% to 30% and, after, to 25%. Further, new amendments to the Argentine tax legislation approved on December 23, 2019 postponed for one year the application of the income tax rate of rate of 25% and extended for a third year the application of the 30% rate.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit is probable, which may be offset against temporary differences recorded currently, with a special emphasis on tax losses.

Company with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES (“BNDES”), where collateral was provided on assets acquired with the credit granted, which served as collateral; other loans and financing contracted by the Company predicted only guarantees as personal collateral or were unsecured. Most loan contracts contained financial covenants covering matters such as limitations on new indebtedness, the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern, the Company’s assets maintenance, in use or in good condition for the business; restrictions on acquisitions, mergers, sale or disposal of its assets, and disclosure of financial statements; and no constitution of real guarantees for new loans contracted, except if: (i) expressly authorized under the loan agreement; or (ii) in new loans contracted from financial institutions linked to the Brazilian government - including the BNDES or foreign governments; - or foreign governments, multilateral financial institutions (eg World Bank) or institutions located in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Additionally, all agreements with BNDES are subject to certain “provisions applicable to agreements entered into with BNDES” (“Provisions”). Such Provisions require the borrower, to obtain prior consent from BNDES if they, for instance, wish to: (i) raise new loans (except for the loans described in the Provisions); (ii) give preference and/or priority to other debts; and/or (iii) dispose of or encumber any items of their fixed assets (except as provided for in the Provisions).

These clauses apply to the extent that the events mentioned produce material adverse effects on the Company and/or its subsidiaries, or the rights of its creditors, and, in the event of any of the events provided in the clauses, the Company may be granted a grace period to resolve such defaults.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all its contractual obligations for its loans and financing.

(d.1) Translation reserves

The translation reserves comprise all foreign currency exchange differences arising from the translation of the interim financial statements with functional currency different from the Real.

The translation reserves also comprise the portion of the gain or loss on the foreign currency liabilities and on the derivative financial instruments determined to be effective net investment hedges.

(d.2) Cash flow hedge reserves

The hedging reserves comprise the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedges to the extent the hedged risk has not yet impacted profit or loss (For additional information, see Note 21 – Financial instruments and risks).

(d.3)Actuarial gains and losses

The actuarial gains and losses include expectations with regards to future pension plan obligations. Consequently, the results of actuarial gains and losses are recognized on timely basis considering best estimate obtained by Management. Accordingly, the Company recognizes on a monthly basis the results of these estimated actuarial gains and losses based on the expectations presented in the independent actuarial report.

The actuarial gain of R$95.6 arising from the surplus reverted to the Sponsor (originating from Ambev Private Pension Institute) from the defined benefits plan was fully recorded under Actuarial gains and losses.

(d.4) Optionsgranted on subsidiary

As part of the agreement to acquire the shares of Tenedora, CND S.A. (“Tenedora”) an option to sell (“put”) was issued by Ambev in favor of ELJ and an option to purchase (“call”) was issued from ELJ in favor of Ambev, which may result in an acquisition by Ambev of the remaining shares of Tenedora, for a value based on EBITDA, discounted of net debt, from operations, with a put exercisable at any time. On January 18, 2018, ELJ partially exercised its put option related to approximately 30% of capital stock by Tenedora. As a result, the Company became the owner of approximately 85% of Tenedora. Additionally, it was approved to change the call-option term from 2019 to 2022.

On March 31, 2020 the put option held by ELJ was valued at R$3,451,643 (R$2,950,489 on December 31, 2019) and the liability categorized as “Level 3”, as under Note 21 (b) and in accordance with the IFRS 3. The fair value of this consideration deferred was calculated by using standard valuation techniques (present

value of the principal amount and future interest rates, discounted by the market rate). The criteria used are based on market information and from reliable sources and the fair value is revaluated on an annual basis.

As part of the agreement to acquire the shares of Sucos do Bem, the Company has been granted a put option and a call option on minority shareholders' participation determined by gross revenue of its products and exercisable until 2020, with a few exceptions. On March 31, 2020 the put option was valued at R$68,190 (R$68,252 on December 31, 2019).

The reconciliation of changes in these options is presented in Note 21 – Financial instruments and risks.

(d.5) Accounting for acquisition of non-controlling interests

Transactions with non-controlling interests of the same business, even when performed at arm's length, that present valid economic grounds and reflect normal market conditions, will be consolidated by the same applicable accounting standards as are used within the same accounting entity.

As determined by IFRS 10, any difference between the amount paid (fair value) for the acquisition of non-controlling interests and are related to carrying amount of such non-controlling interest shall be recognized directly in controlling shareholders’ equity. The acquisition of non-controlling interest related to Old Ambev, the above-mentioned adjustment was recognized in the carrying value adjustments when applicable, due to the adoption of the predecessor basis of accounting.

§  Complement of income tax of foreign subsidiaries due in Brazil: shows the result of the calculation of universal taxation of profits, according to the regulations of Law 12.973/14.

§  Withholding income tax: The amount is mainly related to dividends distributed and to be distributed by subsidiaries located outside of Brazil, applicable according to local tax legislation. The increase in the amount in 2020 is mainly due to the exchange rate variation of the balances held in liabilities

§  Deductible interest on shareholders’ equity: under Brazilian law, companies have an option to remunerate their shareholders through payment of interest on capital (“IOC”), which is deductible for income tax purposes.

20. **** SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

There are different stock-option and share-based payment programs which allow the employees and senior Management from the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire (through of exercise of the stock option) or receive shares of the Company. For all stock option programs, the fair value of the shares is estimated at the options grant date, using the “Hull Binomial” pricing model, adjusted to reflect the IFRS 2 requirement that assumptions about forfeiture before the end of the vesting period cannot impact the fair value of the option.

This current model of stock option, ruled by the Company’s stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”), includes two types of grants: (I) Grant 1- the beneficiary can be allocated 30%, 40%, 60%, 70% or 100% of the amount related to the profit share the beneficiary received in the year, to the immediate exercise of options, thus acquiring the corresponding shares of the Company, which transfer to third parties or the Company will only be allowed after the five-year period counted from the date of exercise of the options; and (II) Grant 2 -  the beneficiary may exercise the options after a five-year grace period, for a period of five years.

In addition, the Company has implemented a share-based compensation plan (“Share-Based Plan”) under which certain employees and members of the Management of the Company or its subsidiaries are eligible to receive shares of the Company including in the form of ADRs. The shares that are subject to the Share-Based Plan are designated as "restricted shares".

Additionally, as a mean of creating a long term incentive (wealth incentive) for certain senior employees and members of Management considered as having “high potential,” the Company grants, under the Share-Based Plan, shares to be delivered in the future divided in two separate lots – Lot A and Lot B, which will be delivered to the

participants of the relevant program, subject to maturation periods of five and ten years, respectively.

The weighted average fair value of the options and assumptions used in applying the Company’s option pricing model of 2020 and 2019 grants was as follows:

Of the 137,221 thousand outstanding options (141,736 thousand on December 31, 2019), 43,196 thousand options were vested on March 31, 2020 (46,640 thousand on December 31, 2019).

For the options exercised during the period ended March 31, 2020, the weighted average share price on the exercise date was R$15.84 (R$18.68 as of December 31, 2019).

To settle the exercised stock options, the Company may use treasury shares. The current limit of authorized capital is considered sufficient to meet all stock option plans if the issue of new shares is required to meet the grants awarded in the programs.

During the period, the Company did not grant deferred stocks under the stock option plan (as at December 2019, 208 thousand deferred stocks had been granted related to the exercise of stock options granted in the previous years, and such shares were valued based on the share price of the trading session immediately prior to the stock option grant, representing a fair value of R$3,787 on December 31, 2019). Such deferred stock options are subject to a vesting period of five years from the date of their grant.

During the period, the Company granted 1,565,000 (11,838,000 as at December 31, 2019) restricted shares under the Share-Based Plan, which are valued based on the share price of the trading session immediately prior to the grant of shares, representing a fair value of approximately R$28,866 on March 31, 2020 (R$211,728 as at December 31, 2019). Such restricted share units are subject to a grace period of five years counted from the date of the grant.

The total number of shares purchased or granted, according to each category, under the Stock Option Plan and Share-Based Plan by employees is demonstrated below; the grant of these shares will be performed in the future under certain conditions (deferred stock and restricted shares).

21. **** FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

Risk factors

The Company is exposed to foreign currency, interest rate, commodity price, liquidity and credit risk in the ordinary course of business. The Company analyzes each of these risks both individually and to define strategies to manage the economic impact on Company’s performance consistent with its Financial Risk Management Policy.

The Company’s use of derivatives strictly follows the Financial Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The purpose of the policy is to provide guidelines for the management of financial risks inherent to the capital markets in which Ambev carries out its operations. The policy comprises four main aspects: (i) capital structure, financing and liquidity, (ii) transactional risks related to the business, (iii) financial statements translation risks and (iv) credit risks of financial counterparties.

The policy establishes that all the financial assets and liabilities in each country where Ambev operates must be denominated in their respective local currencies. The policy also sets forth the procedures and controls needed for identifying, measuring and minimizing market risks, such as variations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodities (mainly aluminum, wheat, corn and sugar) that may affect Ambev’s revenues, costs and/or investment amounts. The policy states that all the known risks (e.g. foreign currency and interest) will be hedged by contracting derivative financial instruments. Existing risks not yet recorded (e.g. future contracts for the purchase of raw material or property, plant and equipment) are mitigated using projections for the period necessary for the Company to adapt to the new cost scenario, which may vary from ten to fourteen months, also through the use of derivative financial instruments. Most of the translation risks are not hedged. Any exception to the policy must be approved by the Board of Directors.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments authorized by the Financial Risk Management Policy are futures contracts traded on exchanges, full deliverable forwards, non-deliverable forwards, swaps and options. At March 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries had no target forward, swaps with currency verification or any other derivative

operations representing a risk level above the nominal value of their contracts. The derivative operations are managed on a consolidated basis and are classified by strategies according to their purposes, as follows:

i) Cash-flow-hedge derivative instruments – The highly probable forecast transactions contracted in order to minimize the Company's exposure to fluctuations of exchange rates and prices of raw materials, investments, equipment and services to be procured, are protected by cash flow hedges that will occur at various different dates during the next fourteen months. Gains and losses classified as hedging reserve in equity are recognized in the income statement in the period or periods when the forecast and hedged transaction affects the income statement.

ii) Fair-value-hedge derivative instruments – operations contracted with the purpose of mitigating the Company’s net indebtedness against foreign exchange and interest rate risk. Cash net positions and foreign currency debts are continually assessed for identification of new exposures.

The results of these operations, measured according to their fair value, are recognized in financial results.

iii) Net-investment-hedge derivative instruments – transactions entered into in order to minimize exposure of the exchange differences arising from conversion of net investment in the Company's subsidiaries located abroad for translation account balance. The effective portion of the hedge is allocated to equity and the ineffectiveness portion is recorded directly in financial results.

The following tables summarize the exposure of the Company that were identified and protected in accordance with the Company's Risk Policy. The following denominations have been applied:

Operational Hedge: Refers to the exposures arising from the core business of Ambev, such as purchase of inputs, purchase of fixed assets and service contracts linked to foreign currency, which is protected through the use of derivatives.

Financial Hedge: Refers to the exposures arising from cash and financing activities, such as foreign-currency cash and foreign-currency debt, which is protected through the use of derivatives.

Investment hedge abroad: Refers mainly to exposures arising from cash held in foreign currency in foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from the consolidation currency.

Investment hedge - Put option granted on subsidiary: As detailed in Note 13 (d.4) the Company constituted a liability related to acquisition of a non-controlling interest in the Dominican Republic operations. This financial instrument is denominated in

Dominican Pesos and is recorded by an entity, whose functional currency is the Real. The Company assigned this financial instrument as a hedging instrument for part of its net assets located in the Dominican Republic, in such a manner that the hedge result can be recorded in other comprehensive income of the group, following the result of the hedged item.

I. **** Market risk

a.1)Foreign-currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on borrowings, investments, purchases, dividends and/or interest expense and income whenever they are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. The main derivatives financial instruments used to manage foreign currency risk are futures contracts, swaps, options, non-deliverable forwards and full deliverable forwards.

a.2) Commodityrisk

A significant portion of the Company’s inputs comprise commodities which historically have experienced substantial price fluctuations. The Company therefore uses both fixed price purchasing contracts and derivative financial instruments to minimize its exposure to commodity price volatility of aluminum, sugar, wheat and corn. These derivative financial instruments have been designated as cash-flow hedges.

a.3) Interestrate risk

The Company applies a dynamic interest rate hedging approach whereby the target mix between fixed and floating rate debts is reviewed periodically with purpose of achieve an optimal balance between cost of funding and volatility of financial results, taking into account market conditions as well as the Company’s overall business strategy and this strategy is reviewed periodically.

The table below demonstrates the Company’s exposure related to debts, before and after interest rates hedging strategy. In 2020, the Company is not applying hedge for the exposures described below:

Sensitivityanalysis

The Company mitigates risks arising from non-derivative financial assets and liabilities substantially, through derivative financial instruments. In this context, the Company has identified the main risk factors that may generate losses from these derivative financial instruments and has developed a sensitivity analysis based on three scenarios, which may impact the Company’s future results and/or cash flow, as described below:

1 – Probable scenario: Management expectations of deterioration in each transaction’s main risk factor. To measure the possible effects on the results of derivative transactions, the Company uses parametric value at risk (VaR), which is a statistical measure developed through estimates of standard deviation and correlation between the returns of several risk factors. This model results in the loss limit expected for an asset over a certain time period and confidence interval. Under this methodology, we used the potential exposure of each financial instrument, a range of 95% and horizon of 21 days after March 31, 2020 for the calculation, which are presented in the module.

2 – Adverse scenario: 25% deterioration in each transaction’s main risk factor as compared to the level observed on March 31, 2020.

3 – Remote scenario: 50% deterioration in each transaction’s main risk factor as compared to the level observed on March 31, 2020.

**** II. **** CreditRisk

Concentrationof credit risk on trade receivables

A substantial part of the Company’s sales are made to distributors, supermarkets and retailers, within a broad distribution network. Credit risk is reduced because of the widespread number of customers and control procedures used to monitor risk. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses on receivables from customers.

Concentrationof credit risk on counterpart

In order to minimize the credit risk of its investments, the Company has adopted procedures for the allocation of cash and investments, taking into consideration limits and credit analysis of financial institutions, avoiding credit concentration, i.e., the credit risk is monitored and minimized to the extent that negotiations are carried out only with a select group of highly rated counterparties.

The selection process of financial institutions authorized to operate as the Company’s counterparty is set forth in our Credit Risk Policy. This Credit Risk Policy establishes maximum limits of exposure to each counterparty based on the risk rating and on each counterparty's capitalization.

In order to minimize the risk of credit with its counterparties on significant derivative transactions, the Company has adopted bilateral “trigger” clauses. According to these clauses, where the fair value of an operation exceeds a percentage of its notional value (generally between 10% and 15%), the debtor settles the difference in favor of the creditor.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company held its main short-term investments with the following financial institutions: Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, Bank Mendes Gans, BNP Paribas, Caixa Econômica Federal, Citibank, Itaú, JP Morgan Chase, Santander, ScotiaBank and Toronto Dominion Bank. The Company had derivative agreements with the following financial institutions: Banco Bisa, Banco Galícia, BBVA, Barclays, BNB, BNP Paribas, Bradesco, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Itaú, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Macquarie, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Santander, Standard Bank, ScotiaBank and TD Securities.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, trade receivables excluding prepaid expenses, recoverable taxes and derivative financial instruments are disclosed net of provisions for impairment and represents the maximum exposure of credit risks at March 31, 2020. There was no concentration of credit risk with any counterparties as at March 31, 2020.

III. **** Liquidity Risk

Historically, Ambev’s primary sources of cash flow have been cash flows from operating activities, the issuance of debt, bank borrowings and equity securities. Ambev’s material cash requirements have included the following:

· Debt servicing;
· Capital expenditures;
· Investments in companies;
· Increases in ownership of Ambev’s<br> subsidiaries or companies in which it holds equity investments;
· Share buyback programs; and
· Payments of dividends and interest on<br> shareholders’ equity.

The company believes that cash flows from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents as well as short term investments, along with related derivatives and access to borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures, financial instrument liabilities and dividend payments going forward. It is the intention of the company to continue to reduce its financial indebtedness through a combination of strong operating cash flow generation and continued refinancing.

IV. **** Equity pricerisk

Through the equity swap transactions approved on December 20^th^, 2018,  May 15^th^, 2019 and December 19^th^, 2019 by Ambev’s Board of Directors (seeNote 1 - Corporateinformation), the Company, or its subsidiaries, will receive the price variation related to its shares traded on the stock exchange or ADRs, neutralizing the possible effects of stock-price variation in view of the share-based payment of the Company. As these derivative instruments are not characterized as hedge accounting, they were not therefore designated to any hedge.

At March 31, 2020, an exposure equivalent to R$0.7 billion (R$1.9 billion as of December 31, 2019) in AmBev’s shares (or ADRs) was partially hedged, resulting in a loss in the income statement of R$541,225 (a gain in income statement of R$79,056 as of March 31, 2019).

**** V. **** Capitalmanagement

Ambev is continuously optimizing its capital structure, aiming to maximize shareholder value while keeping the desired financial flexibility to execute the strategic projects. Besides the statutory minimum equity funding requirements that apply to the Company’s subsidiaries in different countries, Ambev is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. When analyzing its capital structure, the Company uses the same debt ratings and capital classifications as applied in the Company’s interim financial statements.

Calculation offair value of derivatives

The Company measures derivative financial instruments by calculating their present value, through the use of market curves that impact the instrument on the computation dates. In the case of swaps, both the asset and the liability positions are estimated independently and brought to present value, where the difference between the result of the asset and liability amount generates the swaps market value. For the traded derivative financial instruments, the fair value is calculated according to the adjusted exchange-listed price.

Margins givenin guarantee

In order to comply with the guarantee requirements of the derivative exchanges and/or counterparties in certain operations with derivative financial instruments, as at March 31, 2020 the Company held R$867,584 in highly liquid financial investments or in cash, classified as cash and cash equivalents and investment securities (R$816,928 on December 31, 2019).

Offsetting offinancial assets and liabilities

For financial assets and liabilities subject to settlement agreements by the net or similar agreements, each agreement between the Company and the counterparty allows this type of settlement when both parties make this option. In the absence of such a settlement, the assets and liabilities will be settled by their amounts, but each party will have the option to settle on net, in case of default by the counterparty.

23. CONTINGENT LIABILITY

The Company has contingent liabilities related to lawsuits arising from its normal course of business.

Brazilian Federal Taxes

Goodwill CND Holdings

In November 2017, Ambev received a tax assessment related to the goodwill amortization resulting from the merger of CND Holdings into Ambev. The decision from the first-level administrative court was unfavorable to Ambev. Ambev filed an appeal to the Lower Administrative Court. In February 2020, Ambev received a partially favorable decision at the Lower Administrative Court. Ambev is awaiting the issuance of the decision in order to file the applicable appeals.

The updated amount related to this uncertain tax position as at 31 March 2020 was approximately R$1.0 billion (R$1.1 billion as of December 31, 2019). Ambev has not recorded any provisions for this matter as is classified as possible losses.

Disallowance of taxes paid abroad

Since 2014, Ambev has been receiving tax assessments from the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities related to the disallowance of deductions associated with alleged unproven taxes paid abroad by its subsidiaries and has been filing defenses. The cases are being challenged at the administrative level. In November 2019, the Lower Administrative Court rendered a favorable decision to Ambev regarding the assessment from 2010 in the amount of approximately R$0.2 billion, which became definitive. In January 2020, regarding four of these assessments (from 2015 and 2016), in the amount of approximately R$3.6 billion, the Lower Administrative Court rendered unfavorable decisions. Ambev is awaiting formal notification of the decision to file the applicable appeals. The other cases are still waiting final decisions.

The updated amount related to this uncertain tax position as at 31 March 2020 was approximately R$10.2 billion (R$10.1 billion as of December 31, 2019). Ambev has not recorded any provisions for this matter as is classified as possible losses.

Margin Profit

In January 2020, Arosuco, a subsidiary of the Company, received a tax assessment from the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil regarding the disallowance of the income tax reduction benefit provided for in Provisional Measure No. 2199-14 / 2001. In this context, an administrative challenge was presented within the legal term and the judgment will be awaited by the Regional Judgment Office of the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil.

The updated amount related to this uncertain tax position as at 31 March 2020 was approximately R$2.0 billion. Ambev has not recorded any provisions for this matter as

it is classified as possible losses.

ICMS and IPI

ICMS-ST Trigger

Over the years, Ambev has received tax assessments to charge supposed ICMS differences considered due when the price of the products sold by Ambev has been above the fixed price table basis established by the relevant States; in such cases the State tax authorities have understood that the calculation basis should be based on a value-added percentage over the actual prices and not the fixed table price. Ambev is currently challenging those charges before the courts. The cases are being challenged at both the administrative and judicial levels of the courts.

Ambev management estimates the amount related to this issue as at 31 March 2020 was approximately R$8.1 billion (R$7.7 billion as at 31 December 2019), classified as a possible loss and, therefore, for which Ambev has made no provision. Ambev recorded provisions in the total amount of R$8.3 million (R$8.3 million as at December 31, 2019) in relation to certain proceedings for which it considers the chances of loss to be probable due to specific procedural issues.

Manaus Free Trade Zone – IPI and PIS/COFINS

In Brazil, goods manufactured within the Manaus Free Trade Zone intended for remittance elsewhere in Brazil are exempt and/or zero rated from IPI excise tax and social contributions. With respect to IPI, Ambev’s subsidiaries have been registering IPI excise tax presumed credits upon the acquisition of exempted goods manufactured therein. Since 2009, Ambev has been receiving several tax assessments from the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities relating to the disallowance of such credits.

Ambev has also been receiving charges from the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities in relation to (i) federal taxes allegedly unduly offset with the disallowed presumed IPI excise tax credits that are under discussion in these proceedings and (ii) amounts allegedly due under social contribution over Arosuco’s remittance.

In April 2019, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) announced its judgment on Extraordinary Appeal No. 592,891/SP, with binding effects, deciding on the rights of taxpayers registering presumed IPI excise tax credits on acquisitions of raw materials and exempted inputs originating from the Manaus Free Trade Zone. As a result of this decision, Ambev reclassified part of the amounts related to the IPI cases as remote losses maintaining as possible losses only issues related to other additional discussions that were not included in the analysis of the STF.

The cases are being challenged at both the administrative and judicial levels. Ambev management estimates the possible losses in relation to these assessments to be R$4.6 billion (R$4.2 billion at December 31, 2019) as at 31 March 2020. Ambev has not recorded any provision in connection with these assessments.

Contingent assets

In accordance with IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the contingent assets are not recognized in consolidated financial statements, except when realization of income is virtually certain.

The Company and its subsidiaries are demanding the refund of the PIS and COFINS paid including the ICMS and/or ICMS-ST in their taxable basis for the period from 1990 onwards. Considering the different taxation systems applicable to the cold drinks sector, as well as due to corporate reorganizations that have occurred over the years, the Company and its subsidiaries have several lawsuits claiming such refunds. For the period until 2009, as well as for the period in which the special regime for cold drinks was in place – i.e. from January 2009 to April 2015 (article 58-J of Law 10,833, of 2003, also known as REFRI) – the amounts involved in the refund requests are still being calculated. For the period after the termination of the special regime for cold drinks (currently in place), the Company estimates that the contingent asset related to the matter is R$1.9 billion.

In September 2019, the Company obtained a final favorable decision and recognized the right from Companhia Antarctica Paulista (incorporated by Ambev S.A.) to exclude the ICMS from the COFINS taxable base in the period from March 2000 to May 2005, reason why it recognizing a recoverable tax of approximately R$0.6 billion.
