Amsterdam, 22 October 2025 – Heineken Holding N.V. (HEIO; HKHHY) announces
Heineken Holding N.V. engages in no activities other than its participating interest in Heineken N.V. and the management or supervision of and provision of services to that company.
Revenue in the quarter¹ was €8.7 billion (YTD: €25.6 billion). Net revenue (beia) decreased organically by 0.3% (YTD: up 1.3%). Total consolidated volume decreased by 3.8% (YTD: down 2.1%) and net revenue (beia) per hectolitre was up 3.6% (YTD: up 3.4%). Price-mix on a constant geographic basis was up 3.3% (YTD: up 3.6%), led by pricing to mitigate inflationary pressures, and by a positive mix effect from portfolio premiumisation.
Currency translation reduced net revenue (beia) by €304 million (YTD: €1,222 million), mainly due to the strengthening of the Euro vis-à-vis the Mexican Peso, Ethiopian Birr, and Brazilian Real. Consolidation changes reduced net revenue (beia) by €22 million (YTD: €55 million).
Through HEINEKEN's business-to-business digital (eB2B) platforms, HEINEKEN captured €9.7 billion in gross merchandise value year to date, an organic increase of 13% versus last year. HEINEKEN is now connecting 730 thousand active customers in fragmented, traditional channels.

Beer volume for the quarter decreased organically by 4.3% (YTD: down 2.3%), with growth in Africa & Middle East more than offset by lower volume in Europe and the Americas.

Licensed beer volume3 in the third quarter increased 19.8% (YTD: 21.0%), led by the double-digit growth of Heineken® and the doubling of Amstel volume at China Resources Beer (CRB) in China, as well as by strong performances in certain African markets.

Page 3 includes a reconciliation versus IFRS metrics. These non-GAAP measures are included in internal management reports that are reviewed by the Executive Board of Heineken N.V., as management believes that this measurement is the most relevant in evaluating the results and in performance management.
<sup>3 Licensed beer volume for CRB is reported with a two-month delay and for CCU with a one-month delay

Premium beer volume decreased by 2.2% (YTD: up 0.4%) as growth in Vietnam, India, Nigeria, and South Africa was more than offset by lower volume in Brazil and the USA. Heineken® volume fell slightly by 0.6% (YTD: up 2.7%) as double-digit growth in 21 markets did not offset contraction in Brazil and the USA. Heineken® 0.0 declined by 1.8% (YTD: down 0.6%), similarly driven by Brazil and the USA. Heineken® Silver grew in the high-twenties (YTD: up 31.6%), with continued strong growth in China and Vietnam.

Mainstream beer volume decreased by 3.5% (YTD: down 0.9%), mostly due to weakness in Brazil and Cambodia, partially offset by stronger performances of HEINEKEN brands Larue in Vietnam, Cruzcampo in the UK and Bedele and Harar in Ethiopia. Amstel grew strongly in South Africa, India, Romania, Tunisia, and Ecuador.
HEINEKEN anticipates ongoing macroeconomic volatility that may impact its consumers, including weak sentiment, global inflationary pressures, and currency devaluations in relation to a stronger Euro. HEINEKEN's business continues to adapt with agility to these current market conditions.
Given the challenging quarter just behind HEINEKEN, and based on its current assessment of short-term consumer demand, HEINEKEN expects volume to decline modestly for the year 2025. Taking stock of the volume outlook, and its confidence in achieving its productivity targets, HEINEKEN anticipates its full year organic operating profit (beia) growth to be towards the lower end of its 4% to 8% guidance.
Based on the impact to date, and applying spot rates of 20 October 2025 to the 2024 financial results as a baseline for the remainder of the year, the calculated negative translational impact for the full year would be approximately €1,490 million in net revenue (beia), €290 million at consolidated operating profit (beia), and €150 million at net profit (beia).
As per Heineken Holding N.V.'s full year 2024 announcement on 12 February 2025 and subsequent press release on 13 February 2025, Heineken Holding N.V. has commenced the implementation of the two-year programme to repurchase own shares for an aggregate amount of €750 million. The first tranche of €375 million is expected to be completed no later than 30 January 2026. Up to and including 17 October 2025, a total of 3,469,857 shares were repurchased under the share buyback programme for a total consideration of €218,268,989.
On 22 September 2025, HEINEKEN announced that it has entered into binding agreements with its long-term partner FIFCO to acquire the remaining 75% of Distribuidora La Florida, as well as FIFCO stakes in certain other businesses.
On 7 October 2025, the transaction was approved at the general shareholders' meeting of FIFCO. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to complete in H1 2026.

2 HEINEKEN continues to apply hyperinflation accounting in Haiti, started to apply hyperinflation accounting in Burundi as per 1 January 2025 and ceased to apply hyperinflation accounting in Ethiopia, effective 1 January 2025. Fixed assets are revalued for the inflation from the time of acquisition to date. The prior year impact from depreciation resulting from the revaluation of previous years is recorded as a change in consolidation and is excluded from the organic growth calculation. At the same time, all metrics in the income statement are restated to reflect the inflation level as per the reporting date. These impacts are recorded as exceptional items.

Sales by third-party distributors to the retail trade. Eia
Exceptional items and amortisation of acquisitionrelated intangible assets.

Gross merchandise value
Value of all products sold via our eB2B platforms. This includes our own and third party products, including all duties and taxes. As part of its objective to become the best connected brewer, management has set as a key priority to scale up its eB2B platforms to better serve customers and improve sales force productivity.

Organic growth
Growth excluding the effect of foreign currency translational effects, consolidation changes, exceptional items and amortisation of acquisitionrelated intangible assets. Whenever used in this report, the term refers to the organic growth of the related performance measures. Management evaluates the organic performance of operating companies as it reflects their performance in local
currency. External stakeholders can separately assess the performance in local currency, the translational effects into euros and the consolidation changes. Organic growth %

Price mix on a constant geographic basis Refers to the different components that influence net revenue per hectolitre, namely the changes in the absolute price of each individual sku and their weight in the portfolio. The weight of the countries in the total revenue in the base year is kept constant. The metric allows management and external stakeholders a clearer understanding of the underlying development of price-mix, a lever of value creation, which can be affected at a segment-level when combining operations that have structurally different net revenue per hectolitre, due to differences in value chains, business models and economic conditions.
