1. Lead and grow the category:
We are executing on five proven and scalable levers to drive category expansion:
-
Inclusive Category: In 3Q22, consumer participation with our portfolio increased in most of our focus markets, according to our estimates, driven by brand, pack and liquid innovations focused on expanding inclusivity and accessibility. For example, in
Mexico , our pack size initiatives across both upsizing and downsizing grew strong double-digits this quarter, contributing over 1 million hl’s in volume and improving profitability in both the core and above core segments of our portfolio. -
Core Superiority: In 3Q22, our mainstream portfolio continued to outperform the industry across the majority of our focus markets, according to our estimates, and delivered low-teens revenue growth, led by particularly strong performances in
Mexico ,Brazil andSouth Africa . -
Occasions Development : Our global non-alcohol beer portfolio delivered double-digit revenue growth this quarter led by Budweiser Zero and Stella Artois Liberté in the US. -
Premiumization: Our above core portfolio grew revenue by low-teens this quarter, led by continued double-digit growth of Michelob ULTRA in the US and
Mexico and further expansion of Spaten inBrazil . Our global brands grew revenue by12.7% outside of their home markets this quarter, led by Corona with23.5% growth. Budweiser grew by8.9% despite the impact of COVID-19 restrictions inChina , the brand’s largest market. Stella Artois grew by7.0% with continued growth in focus markets such as the US andBrazil . -
Beyond Beer: Our global Beyond Beer business grew revenue by over
10% this quarter, contributing more than400 million USD of revenue. In the US, within the spirits-based ready-to-drink segment, our portfolio continued to grow strong double-digits, ahead of the industry, led by Cutwater and NÜTRL vodka seltzer. InSouth Africa , Brutal Fruit and Flying Fish delivered continued double-digit volume growth.
2. Digitize and monetize our ecosystem
-
Digitizing our relationships with our more than 6 million customers globally: As of
30 September 2022 , BEES is live in 19 markets with approximately57% of our revenues now through B2B digital platforms. In 3Q22, BEES reached 3.1 million monthly active users and captured approximately7.7 billion USD in gross merchandise value (GMV), growth of over40% versus 3Q21.BEES Marketplace is now live in 14 markets and generated September annualized revenues from sales of third party products of approximately850 million USD . As ofSeptember 2022 ,44% of BEES customers were also Marketplace buyers. -
Leading the way in DTC solutions: Our digital direct-to-consumer (DTC) products, Ze Delivery, TaDa and PerfectDraft are now available in 17 markets and generated over
100 million USD in revenue and 17 million orders in the quarter. Our network of physical retail products, such as Modelorama inMexico and Pit Stop inBrazil , continued to deliver revenue growth across our footprint of approximately 13 000 stores. Combined, our omni-channel DTC ecosystem of digital and physical DTC products generated revenue of over1 billion USD in 9M22, mid-teens growth versus 9M21.

2022 Outlook
-
Overall Performance: We expect our FY22 EBITDA to grow between 6
-8% and our revenue to grow ahead of EBITDA from a healthy combination of volume and price. Our medium-term outlook, which aims to deliver EBITDA growth of 4-8% , remains unchanged.
-
Net Finance Costs: Net pension interest expenses and accretion expenses are expected to be in the range of 170 to
200 million USD per quarter, depending on currency and interest rate fluctuations. We expect the average gross debt coupon in FY22 to be approximately4.0% . Net finance costs will continue to be impacted by any gains and losses related to the hedging of our share-based payment programs.
-
Effective Tax Rates (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY22 to be in the range of
28% to30% excluding any gains and 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.
-
Net Capital Expenditure: We expect net capital expenditure of between 4.5 and
5.0 billion USD in FY22.

Normalized EBITDA is calculated excluding the following effects from profit attributable to equity holders of
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.
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. All references per hectoliter (per hl) exclude US non-beer 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
