REGIONAL REVIEW

Africa, Middle East & Eastern Europe

  • Beer volume grew organically by 7.8%.
  • In Nigeria, beer volume grew mid-single digit. Last year was affected by some destocking.
  • In Russia, beer volume was up double digit, mainly driven by the premium portfolio due to Heineken and the inclusion of licensed brands Miller Genuine Draft and Staropramen.
  • In South Africa, total consolidated volume showed double digit growth, driven by Heineken, Strongbow and Amstel.
  • In Ethiopia, beer volume grew low-single digit in the context of a price increase and social unrest in parts of the country.
  • In Egypt, total consolidated volume grew high-single digit, driven by the non-alcoholic beverage portfolio.
  • In the DRC, beer volume grew high-single digit with growth across the country and most of the brand portfolio.
  • HEINEKEN opened its first brewery in Mozambique in March.

Americas

  • Beer volume grew organically by 3.2%.
  • In Mexico, beer volume was slightly down, impacted by the later timing of Easter and lower promotional activity. The premium portfolio grew double digit, led by Heineken.
  • In Brazil, beer volume grew double digit, driven by both the premium portfolio led by Heineken, and the mainstream portfolio led by Amstel and Devassa.
  • Beer volume in the USA declined mid-single digit. Heineken 0.0 was introduced in the quarter.

Asia Pacific

  • Beer volume was up organically by 8.2%.
  • In Vietnam, beer volume grew high-single digit, driven by Tiger and Larue.
  • In Indonesia, beer volume increased low-single digit driven by the low- and no-alcohol portfolio.
  • In Cambodia, beer volume grew double digit, driven by Anchor and Tiger.
  • In China, beer volume grew mid-single digit, driven by the double digit growth of Heineken.

Europe

  • Despite the later timing of Easter, beer volume grew organically by 1.6% benefiting from better weather conditions across the region.
  • In the UK, total consolidated volume was up low-single digit helped by some inventory build-up anticipating Brexit and the re-listing at a large retailer.
  • In France, beer volume was up mid-single digit, with double digit growth of Desperados and Affligem.
  • In Italy, beer volume grew mid-single digit, with strong double digit growth of Ichnusa.
  • In the Netherlands and Spain, beer volume was flat.
  • In Poland, beer volume was down mid-single digit following a change in stocking policy at our largest distributor.

REPORTED NET PROFIT

Reported net profit for the first three months of 2019 was €299 million (2018: €260 million).

TRANSLATIONAL CURRENCY UPDATE
