Management comments
To a future with more cheers
2021 was an important step in our journey to create a future with more cheers. After successfully transitioning our CEO leadership, we introduced our new global purpose and evolved our strategy. Our people dream big and continued to meet the moment to deliver strong results in a challenging operating environment. Energized by our new purpose and guided by our strategy, we are transforming our company from being the category leader to leading category growth.
Continued momentum
We grew top-line by 15.6% in FY21, comprised of a mix of 9.6% volume and 5.5% revenue per hl growth, driven by premiumization and revenue management initiatives. EBITDA grew by 11.8%, at the top-end of our 2021 outlook, as top-line growth was partially offset by anticipated transactional FX and commodity headwinds, higher SG&A due primarily to higher variable compensation accruals and elevated supply chain costs. We delivered another year of strong cash flow generation, resulting in almost 10 billion USD of gross debt reduction.
Compared to pre-pandemic levels, we grew top-line by more than 10% and nearly recovered EBITDA on an organic basis.
Our Purpose
This year was a unique opportunity to reimagine what a beer company can be and our path ahead.
We Dream Big to Create a Future with More Cheers. Our renewed purpose represents what we can make possible with our unique global ecosystem. It enables us to unlock and harness our existing infrastructure and assets to deliver more innovation, more sustainability, more occasions and more value for all our stakeholders.
Evolved strategy to deliver long-term value creation
As part of our leadership transition we developed a comprehensive 10-year plan to evaluate our global business, the key growth opportunities and how we can leverage our ecosystem to drive long-term value creation. This 10-year plan is the foundation of our strategy, which is defined by three key pillars:
| · | Lead and grow the category: We are executing on five proven and scalable levers to drive category expansion<br>and deliver consistent, balanced and profitable top-line growth. In FY21, the beer category grew in almost all of our key markets, and our beer volumes reached an<br>all-time high. **** | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| – | Inclusive Category: We are making the beer category more accessible for all consumers through focusing on<br>inclusive pack and product innovations, particularly in emerging and developing markets. Our portfolio of inclusive brands, such as Nuestra Siembra in Ecuador and Golden in Peru, increased revenue by double-digits. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| – | Core Superiority: Our mainstream portfolio delivered 10% revenue growth and outperformed the industry across<br>most of our main markets. We have rolled out our double malt innovation concept across more than 12 brands in 10 markets, which contributed revenue of over 450 million USD this year, led by Brahma Duplo Malte in Brazil. <br> | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| – | Occasions Development: Our non-alcoholic beer portfolio delivered<br>double-digit revenue growth driven by global brand extensions such as Budweiser Zero and Stella 0.0, and local launches such as Cass Zero in South Korea and Quilmes Zero in Argentina. We continue to invest in developing more occasions through liquid<br>and pack innovations. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| – | Premiumization: We continue to lead the premium and super premium segment globally. Our portfolio delivered over<br>20% revenue growth in FY21 and now represents approximately one third of our total revenue, a 200bps increase versus FY20. Our global brands led the way, delivering 23% revenue growth outside of their home markets, where they typically command a<br>price premium. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| – | Beyond Beer: Our global Beyond Beer business grew by over 20%, contributing 1.6 billion USD of revenue in<br>FY21. In the US, Cutwater grew by triple-digits, and in South Africa, Brutal Fruit and Flying Fish grew by strong double-digits. Our seltzer portfolio in the US continued to outpace the industry, growing 1.7x the segment. <br> | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| ab-inbev.com | **** | Press release – 24 February 2022 – 2 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
We continue to drive innovation across these five levers to meet evolving consumer and customer needs. In FY21, our innovations again contributed more than 5 billion USD, making up approximately 10% of our total revenues. Our rolling 36 months share of innovation increased in almost all of our key markets. Additionally, we remain focused on embedding creativity and brand building capabilities into the core of our business and are honored to have been named the Creative Marketer of the Year by Cannes Lions.
| · | Digitize and monetize our ecosystem: We have built a vibrant ecosystem with more than 2 billion<br>consumers and 6 million customers, generating over 10 million weekly transactions. In FY21, the monthly active user base (MAU) of our proprietary B2B platform, BEES, reached 2.5 million users with over 50% of our revenue now through<br>digital platforms. Our omni-channel direct-to-consumer (DTC) ecosystem of fast-growing e-commerce platforms and 12,000+ brick and<br>mortar retail stores generated nearly 1.5 billion USD in revenue, increasing over 35% versus FY20. |
|---|---|
| – | Digitizing our relationships with our more than 6 million customers globally: In FY21, BEES<br>captured approximately 20 billion USD in gross merchandise value (GMV) with over 78 million orders placed, a greater than 6x increase versus 2020 as usage, adoption and availability accelerated. BEES is now live in 16 markets with further<br>expansion ahead in 2022. |
| --- | --- |
| – | Leading the way in DTC solutions: Our DTC e-commerce platforms delivered<br>62% revenue growth in FY21 to reach over half a billion USD and delivered 66 million orders, more than double FY20. Zé Delivery and PerfectDraft continued to expand rapidly, with our DTC solution now available in 300 cities in Brazil and<br>more than 10 countries in Latin America. PerfectDraft contributed over 170 million USD in revenue and expanded to 55% more households than in 2020. |
| --- | --- |
| – | Unlocking value through new businesses: We continue to explore new ways to generate additional value from our<br>existing assets and capabilities. EverGrain, our saved barley ingredients company, expects to complete construction on a new production facility in 2022 to meet the increasing demand for our nutritional grain ingredients which are already in protein<br>shakes, barley milks and breads in the market today. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Optimize our business: To maximize value creation, we are focused on three areas: disciplined resource<br>allocation, robust risk management and an efficient capital structure. As a result of our business performance and strong cash flow generation, we reduced gross debt by nearly 10 billion USD to 88.8 billion USD as of 31 December 2021,<br>leading to a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.96x. This ratio is now below 4.0x for the first time since the combination with SAB in 2016. |
| --- | --- |
We maintained a strong liquidity position of approximately 22.2 billion USD, consisting of 10.1 billion USD available under our Sustainability-Linked Loan Revolving Credit Facility and 12.1 billion USD of cash. We redeemed most of our maturities due over the next five years, resulting in a weighted average maturity of our debt portfolio of greater than 16 years. Our bond portfolio has a very manageable weighted average pre-tax coupon rate of approximately 4% with 94% of the portfolio fixed rate. In addition, on 10 January 2022, we announced the redemption of a further 3.1 billion USD of bonds.
Shared prosperity for our communities, for the planet and for our company
Our business cannot exist without farmers, clean water, healthy communities, strong suppliers, a diverse and inclusive workforce and thriving natural ecosystems. That mindset is the foundation of everything we do. ESG plays a key role in delivering on our company strategy and purpose. The appointment of Ezgi Barcenas as our dedicated Chief Sustainability Officer, reporting directly to the CEO, further reinforced our commitment to accelerate a broader ESG agenda.
In 2021, we continued to make significant progress towards our ambitious 2025 Sustainability Goals. In Sustainable Agriculture, we worked directly with more than 22 000 farmers, of which 74% met our criteria for skilled; 65% for connected and 69% for financially empowered. In Water Stewardship, 83% of our sites located in high stress areas have started implementation of solutions such as infrastructure improvements, ecosystem restoration and other nature-based solutions. In Circular Packaging, as of the end of 2021, 74.5% of our products were in packaging that was returnable or made from majority recycled content. For Climate Action, 81% of our purchased electricity volume has been contracted to transition to renewable electricity and we announced our ambition to achieve net zero carbon across our value chain by 2040.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact the world, the ability of our business and our people to leverage our scale and reach to support our communities has been truly impressive. Many of our efforts focused on donating medical supplies, increasing vaccine awareness and access, and supporting the hospitality sector.

| (i) | Overall Performance: We expect our EBITDA to grow in-line with our medium term outlook<br>of between 4-8% and our revenue to grow ahead of EBITDA from a healthy combination of volume and price.

| --- | --- | ||
| (iii) | Effective Tax Rates (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY22 to be in the range of 28% to 30%, excluding any gains and<br>losses relating to the hedging of our share-based payment programs. The ETR outlook does not consider the impact of potential future changes in legislation. | ||

Key Market Performances
United States: Third consecutive year of top-line growth
| ● | Operating performance: |
|---|---|
| – | 4Q21: Revenue grew by 2.6%, with<br>sales-to-wholesalers (STWs) up by 0.6% and revenue per hl growing by 2.0%.<br>Sales-to-retailers (STRs) declined by 1.8%, driven by a weaker industry in the segments where we over-index, particularly mainstream and value. EBITDA decreased by 1.2%,<br>primarily due to increased SG&A expenses. |
| --- | --- |
| – | FY21: Revenue grew by 3.4%. Our STRs declined by 2.3% estimated to be below the industry, while STWs were<br>flattish as inventories normalized following pandemic related volatility. Revenue per hl grew by 3.3% and EBITDA declined by 0.9%, driven by the same factors as 4Q21. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Commercial highlights: Top-line growth was driven by the consistent<br>execution of our commercial strategy, as we continue to focus on rebalancing our portfolio. In FY21, our above core portfolio delivered high-single digit volume growth, and now represents over 30% of revenue. Michelob ULTRA, the #2 beer brand in the<br>country by volume, continues to outperform the industry and grew STRs by double-digits in FY21. Our seltzer portfolio grew 1.7x the segment. Within the ready-to-drink<br>cocktail segment, Cutwater once again grew by triple-digits for the full year. **** |
| --- | --- |
Mexico: Double-digit top- and bottom-line growth
| ● | Operating performance: |
|---|---|
| – | 4Q21: We delivered high-single digit revenue growth year-over-year, with revenue per hl growth of 4.8%. Our<br>volumes grew by low-single digits, ahead of the industry. Top-line growth coupled with operational efficiencies resulted in a high-single digit increase in EBITDA.<br> |
| --- | --- |
| – | FY21: Volumes grew by double-digits, below the industry. Compared to 2019, volumes grew by mid-single digits with market share expansion of over 150bps. Revenue and EBITDA grew by double digits compared to both 2020 and 2019. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Commercial highlights: Our continued momentum is fueled by category and portfolio development, digital<br>transformation, and channel expansion. In 4Q21, we delivered growth across all segments of our portfolio, with our above core brands growing by double digits versus last year. We launched the next phase of our OXXO rollout, expanding to<br>approximately 3 400 additional stores by January 2022. Our BEES platform continues to expand, with over 70% of our revenues now digital. |
| --- | --- |
Colombia: Double digit top- and bottom-line growth
| ● | Operating performance: | |
|---|---|---|
| – | 4Q21: We delivered high-single digit revenue growth, driven primarily by revenue per hl growth resulting from<br>pricing initiatives and premiumization. We continue to see strong consumer demand for our brands, although our volumes declined marginally due to capacity constraints. New capacity was brought on-line in the<br>beginning of January 2022. EBITDA was flattish, as top-line growth was offset by anticipated FX and commodity headwinds. | |
| --- | --- | |
| – | FY21: Top-line grew by high-twenties and EBITDA grew by mid-twenties year-over-year. Compared to 2019, top-line grew by low-teens and EBITDA grew by<br>low-single digits. | |
| --- | --- | |
| ● | Commercial highlights: Our strong performance in Colombia this year reflects the power of our enhanced brand<br>portfolio and consistent commercial strategy execution. Led by the implementation of our category expansion levers, the beer category continues to grow, with 2021 marking the highest per capita consumption in Colombia in the last 25 years. We saw<br>growth across all segments of our portfolio this year. Our core portfolio grew by double-digits and our super-premium portfolio grew even faster, led by the nearly 40% combined growth of our global brands and local premium brand, Club Colombia. The<br>roll out and adoption of the BEES platform continued with over 85% of our revenues in FY21 through digital channels. **** | |

Normalized EBITDA and normalized EBIT are measures utilized by AB InBev to demonstrate the company’s underlying performance.
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.

FY21 recorded a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of 2 677 million USD compared to an increase of 8 752 million USD in FY20, with the following movements:
| ● | Our cash flow from operating activities reached 14 799 million USD in FY21 compared to 10 891 million<br>USD in FY20. The increase primarily results from higher profit and changes in working capital for FY21 compared to FY20 as our results for FY20 were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.<br> |
|---|---|
| ● | Our cash outflow from investing activities was 5 878 million USD in FY21 compared to a cash inflow of 6<br>336 million USD in FY20. The decrease in the cash flow from investing activities was mainly due to the exceptional 10 838 million USD proceeds from the divestiture of the Australian business reported in FY20 and higher net capital<br>expenditures in FY21 compared to FY20. Out of the total FY21 capital expenditures, approximately 44% was used to improve the company’s production facilities while 41% was used for logistics and commercial investments and 15% was used for<br>improving administrative capabilities and for the purchase of hardware and software. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Our cash outflow from financing activities amounted to 11 598 million USD in FY21, as compared to a cash<br>outflow of 8 475 million USD in FY20. The increase is primarily driven by higher dividends paid in 2021 and the issuance of a 49.9% minority stake in our US-based metal container operations to Apollo for<br>net proceeds of 3.0 billion USD in 2020. **** Proactive deployment of excess cash balances toward gross debt reduction resulted in a cash outflow of 8 294 million USD and 8 511 million USD in FY20 and FY21 respectively. **** <br> |
| --- | --- |
Our net debt decreased to 76.2 billion USD as of 31 December 2021 from 82.7 billion USD as of 31 December 2020.
Our net debt to normalized EBITDA ratio was 3.96x as of 31 December 2021. Our optimal capital structure is a net debt to normalized EBITDA ratio of around 2x.
We will continue to proactively manage our debt portfolio. After redemptions in January, June and July 2021, 94% of our bond portfolio holds a fixed-interest rate, 48% is denominated in currencies other than USD and maturities are well-distributed across the next several years.

In addition to a very comfortable debt maturity profile and strong cash flow generation, as of 31 December 2021, we had total liquidity of 22.2 billion USD, which consisted of 10.1 billion USD available under committed long-term credit facilities and 12.1 billion USD of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in debt securities less bank overdrafts.

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. 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-beer 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 FY21, we reported a positive impact on the profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev of 28 million USD. The impact in FY21 normalized EPS was 0.01 USD. Values in the figures and annexes may not add up, due to rounding. 4Q21 and FY21 EPS is based upon a weighted average of 2 007 million shares compared to a weighted average of 1 998 million shares for 4Q20 and FY20. Following a report on European Union (EU) issuers’ use of Alternative Performance Measures (i.e., non-IFRS measures, or “APMs”), issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in December 2019, the company relabeled effective with the results announcement of the first quarter of 2021 in its disclosures “non-recurring” items to “non-underlying” items.
