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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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%.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.We expect net capital expenditure of between 3.5 and 4.0 billion USD in FY26.Figure 1.

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.Figure 13.

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 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.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. A timeline showing the ex-dividend, record and payment dates can be found below:Dividend timelineEx-dividend dateRecord DatePayment dateEuronext7 May 20268 May 202611 May 2026MEXBOL7 May 20268 May 202611 May 2026JSE6 May 20268 May 202611 May 2026NYSE (ADR program)8 May 20268 May 20265 June 2026Restricted Shares7 May 20268 May 202611 May 2026On 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.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.
