Management comments

Consistent and compounding growth with beer volume up by 1.1% and a 23.4% Underlying EPS increase

The momentum of our business continued in 2Q26, with broad-based volume growth and a 23.4% increase in Underlying EPS. While the consumer environment remains dynamic, consistent execution of our strategy and investment in our megabrands and mega platforms enabled solid top- and bottom-line results. We strengthened our portfolio brand power and estimate that we gained market share across our footprint, maintaining or gaining share in 70% of our markets.

Revenue increased by 5.6%, with total volume growth of 0.9% and a revenue per hl increase of 4.2%, driven by revenue management and positive mix from premiumization and Beyond Beer. Beer volumes grew by 1.1%, with record high second quarter volumes in Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. Beer volumes in Brazil returned to growth, and in the US we delivered continued top-line growth and market share gains in both beer and Beyond Beer.

EBITDA increased by 5.8% with flattish margins as overhead management enabled increased sales and marketing investment and offset transactional FX headwinds. Free cash flow increased by 2.5 billion USD versus HY25 to 3.9 billion USD, driven by disciplined execution and the continued optimization of our business.

Key highlights from the quarter included: global megabrand momentum, with Corona, Stella Artois and Michelob Ultra growing revenue by 17%, 19% and 21%, respectively, outside of their home markets; successful activation of the FIFA World Cup across our markets, supporting growth of Michelob Ultra in the US and providing a platform to expand the brand across key markets in Latin America; no-alcohol beer revenue growth of 27%, Beyond Beer revenue growth of 44%, and BEES Marketplace GMV growth of 50% to 1.2 billion USD.

Progressing our strategic priorities

We are executing on three key strategic pillars to deliver consistent growth and long-term value creation.

(1) Lead and grow the category:

We strengthened our portfolio brand power and estimate that we gained or maintained share in 70% of our markets in 2Q26.

(2) Digitize and monetize our ecosystem:

BEES Marketplace GMV increased by 50% versus 2Q25 to 1.2 billion USD from third-party products. Overall BEES GMV increased by 16% versus 2Q25 to 15.0 billion USD.

(3) Optimize our business:

We continued to strengthen our balance sheet, with net debt to EBITDA improving to 2.86x as of 30 June 2026 from 3.27x as of 30 June 2025.

(1) Lead and grow the category

Investment in our megabrands and mega platforms continued to build portfolio brand power, with sales and marketing investment reaching 4.1 billion USD in HY26, up 9% versus HY25. According to the Kantar BrandZ 2026 report, our portfolio holds 8 of the top 10 most valuable beer brands in the world, with Corona and Budweiser ranked #1 and #2, respectively. Our mega platforms strengthened the cultural relevance of our brands during some of the world’s largest moments of celebration, including the Winter Olympics, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the FIFA World Cup. Across these occasions, our portfolio achieved the #1 share of digital engagement and generated 850 million consumer engagements on social media. Our marketing capabilities were recognized as we were named the Cannes Lions 2026 Creative Marketer of the Year, making us the only company in history to receive this recognition three times.

We continued to execute on our category expansion levers and estimate that the number of legal drinking age consumers purchasing our portfolio increased in HY26 with gains in Beyond Beer and Balanced Choices.

• Core Superiority: Revenue of our mainstream portfolio increased by 2.7% in 2Q26, driven by double-digit growth in Colombia and high-single digit growth in Peru and Ecuador.
• Premiumization: Our above core beer portfolio delivered a 6.9% revenue increase in 2Q26, led by Corona, Stella Artois and Michelob Ultra, which grew revenue by 17%, 19% and 21%, respectively, outside of their home markets. Corona led the premiumization of our portfolio globally, delivering double-digit volume growth in 37 markets. Michelob Ultra expanded across Latin America in 2Q26, with 40% of its volume growth coming from markets outside of the US.
• Balanced Choices: Our portfolio of low carb, low calorie, sugar free, gluten free and no-alcohol beer brands delivered a revenue increase of 13% in 2Q26. Our no-alcohol beer portfolio led performance, with revenue up by 27% and estimated share gains strengthening our leadership in no-alcohol beer by value, according to Nielsen.
• Beyond Beer: Growth of our portfolio accelerated, increasing revenue by 44% in 2Q26. Performance was led by the expansion of Flying Fish globally and by Cutwater in the US, which increased revenue by triple-digits and was the 2^nd largest contributor by brand to our overall revenue growth in 2Q26.

(2) Digitize and monetize our ecosystem

• Digitizing our relationships with more than 6 million customers globally: As of 30 June 2026, BEES was live in 30 markets with 72% of our revenues captured through B2B digital platforms. In 2Q26, BEES captured 15.0 billion USD in GMV, up 16% versus 2Q25.
• Monetizing our route-to-market; delivering more than 1 billion USD in quarterly GMV: BEES Marketplace GMV increased by 50% versus 2Q25 to approximately 1.2 billion USD from third-party products.
• Leading the way in DTC solutions: Our digital DTC megabrands, Zé Delivery, TaDa Delivery and PerfectDraft, served 13 million active consumers and generated 165 million USD in revenue, 12% growth versus 2Q25. Sales of third-party products through our DTC marketplace reached 50 million USD in GMV, a 63% increase versus 2Q25.

(3) Optimize our business

• Maximizing value creation: Continued optimization of our business and operating leverage through the P&L drove EBIT growth of 8.0% and a free cash flow increase of 2.5 billion USD versus HY25. We strengthened our balance sheet, with net debt to EBITDA improving to 2.86x from 3.27x as of 30 June 2025. As of 24 July 2026, we completed 1.9 billion USD of our 6 billion USD share buyback program announced on 30 October 2025.
• Advancing our sustainability priorities: Our water use efficiency ratio improved to 2.3 hl per hl in HY26 versus 2.4 hl per hl in HY25. Our average energy efficiency globally improved to 81.6 MJ/hl in HY26 versus 84.8 MJ/hl in HY25. Our absolute Scopes 1 and 2 emissions were 1.55 million metric tons of CO2e in HY26, a 0.8% decrease compared to HY25.

Continued momentum and reliable compounding growth

In HY26, our business delivered 5.7% revenue growth, 5.6% EBITDA growth and a 22.1% increase in Underlying EPS, driven by beer volume growth, revenue and cost management capabilities, and positive mix. We strengthened our portfolio brand power through investment in our megabrands and mega platforms, scaling our innovations and providing more choices across more occasions. Performance across our megabrands, Balanced Choices, Beyond Beer and BEES Marketplace reflects the strength of our portfolio and the consistent execution of our strategy.

The continued momentum of our business, disciplined execution by our teams and the strength of the beer category reinforce our confidence in our ability to deliver our FY26 outlook and create a future with more cheers.

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.

Consolidated Income Statement

Non-underlying items above EBIT & Non-underlying share of results of associates

Normalized EBIT excludes negative non-underlying items of 42 million USD in 2Q26 and positive non-underlying items of 14 million USD in HY26.

Net finance income/(expense)

Non-underlying net finance income/(expense)

Non-underlying net finance income includes mark-to-market gains on derivative instruments entered into in order to hedge our share-based payment programs and shares issued in relation to the combinations with Grupo Modelo and SAB.

The number of shares covered by the hedging of our share-based payment program, the deferred share instrument and the restricted shares are shown below, together with the opening and closing share prices.

Income tax expense

The HY26 and HY25 effective tax rates were positively impacted by non-taxable gains from derivatives related to the hedging of share-based payment programs and the hedging of the shares issued in a transaction related to the combinations with Grupo Modelo and SAB. The increase in Normalized ETR in HY26 compared to HY25 was primarily due to negative country mix.

Underlying EPS

Reconciliation of IFRS and Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Profit attributable to equity holders and Underlying Profit

Basic and Underlying EPS

Profit attributable to equity holders and Normalized EBITDA

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.

Cash Flows and Financial position

Our free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities less net capex) increased by 2 526 million USD to reach 3 881 million USD in HY26. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by (4 071) million USD in HY26, compared to a decrease of (4 438) million USD in HY25, with the following movements:

• Our cash flow from operating activities reached 5 241 million USD in HY26 compared to 2 704 million USD in HY25. The increase was driven by increased profit of the period and changes in working capital for HY26 compared to HY25. Changes in working capital in the first half of 2026 and 2025 reflect higher working capital levels at the end of June than at year-end as a result of seasonality.
• Our cash outflow from investing activities was 1 807 million USD in HY26 compared to a cash outflow of 1 306 million USD in HY25. The increase in the cash outflow was mainly due to the acquisition of an 85% controlling stake in BeatBox, a ready-to-drink alcohol beverage business in the United States. Out of the total HY26 capital expenditures, approximately 25% was used to improve the company’s production facilities while 60% was used for logistics and commercial investments and 15% was used for the purchase of hardware and software and improving administrative capabilities.
• Our cash outflow from financing activities amounted to 7 505 million USD in HY26, as compared to a cash outflow of 5 837 million USD in HY25. The increase in the cash outflow versus HY25 was primarily driven by the completion of the reacquisition of the 49.9% minority stake in our US-based metal container plants for 2.9 billion USD.

Our net debt increased to 64.2 billion USD as of 30 June 2026 from 60.9 billion USD as of 31 December 2025. Our net debt to normalized EBITDA ratio was 2.86x as of 30 June 2026. Our optimal capital structure is a net debt to normalized EBITDA ratio of around 2x.

We continue to proactively manage our debt portfolio. 98% of our bond portfolio holds a fixed-interest rate, 52% is denominated in currencies other than USD and maturities are well-distributed across the next several years.

As of 30 June 2026, we had total liquidity of 18.1 billion USD, which consisted of 10.1 billion USD available under committed long-term credit facilities and 8.0 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. 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. Beer volumes and revenue include primarily beer, no-alcohol beer, other malt-based alcohol beverages and spirits-based beverages. Non-beer volumes and revenue include primarily carbonated soft drinks and energy drinks. In addition, beer and non-beer categories include not only brands that we own or license, but also third-party brands that we brew and sell, and third-party products that we sell through our distribution network. 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. Effective 1 January 2026, Cervecería Bucanero S.A., a Cuban company in which we indirectly hold a 50% equity interest through our subsidiary Ambev, is accounted for as an associate using the equity method of accounting. The impact of this change in presentation is reflected as a scope change. 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 2Q26, we reported a negative impact from hyperinflation accounting on the profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev of 7 million USD. The impact in 2Q26 Basic EPS was less than 0.01 USD. Values in the figures and annexes may not add up, due to rounding. 2Q26 and HY26 EPS is based upon a weighted average of 1 976 million shares compared to a weighted average of 1 989 million shares for 2Q25 and HY25.
