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.

During the first half of 2023, HEINEKEN focused on executing its EverGreen strategy to deliver superior and balanced growth in a fast-changing world while transforming its business to be future-ready. HEINEKEN is making progress, albeit some short-term challenges given the volatile economic context, with the slowdown of the economy in some countries and unprecedented inflation levels.

HEINEKEN's focus has been on its EverGreen priorities, starting with its dream to shape the future of beer and beyond to win the hearts of consumers. HEINEKEN is also shaping the future with its ambition to become the best digitally connected brewer, raising the bar on sustainability and responsibility and evolving its culture, operating model and capabilities. At the same time, HEINEKEN is stepping up on productivity to fund the investments required for its brands, digitalisation, capabilities and sustainability, and improve profitability and capital efficiency.

HEINEKEN's ambition is to deliver sustained superior growth with a healthy balance between volume and value growth. HEINEKEN aims to achieve this through launching winning beverage propositions in fast-growing consumer segments, building and scaling strong premium brands everywhere and further developing its advantaged geographic and portfolio footprint. This year, HEINEKEN front-loaded significant price increases, often leading the market, to offset unprecedented levels of commodity and energy inflation, which impacted consumer off-take.

Revenue for the first half of 2023 was 17,436 million (2022: 16,401 million). Net revenue (beia) increased 6.6% organically; a combination of a 5.4% decline in total consolidated volume and a 12.7% increase in net revenue (beia) per hectolitre. The underlying price-mix on a constant geographic basis was up 11.8%, principally driven by the strong inflation-led pricing, whilst mix was slightly positive driven by premiumisation. Currency translation negatively impacted net revenue (beia) by €91 million or 0.7%, mainly driven by the Nigerian Naira, the Egyptian Pound, the South African Rand, the Indian Rupee and the UK Pound Sterling, partially offset by a strong Mexican Peso. Consolidation changes had a positive impact to net revenue (beia) of €231 million, mainly driven by Heineken Beverages in Southern Africa and Beavertown in the UK.

Beer volume for the first half of 2023 decreased 5.6% organically versus last year. The cumulative effect of pricing actions taken and a challenging economic backdrop led to a 7.6% organic decline in the second quarter. A disappointing performance in Vietnam and socio-economic volatility in Nigeria affecting consumer off-take accounted for over half of the decline in the first six months. The Americas region was impacted by a soft beer market, notably in the second quarter, combined with the continuing impact from OXXO mixing in Mexico. Volume in Europe performed broadly in line with HEINEKEN's expectations for the first six months. HEINEKEN gained or held market share in more than half of its markets.

(in mhl) 2Q23 2Q22 growth HY23 HY22 growth
Heineken N.V. 65.3 70.4 -7.6 % 120.1 126.9 -5.6 %

Premium beer volume declined by 6.5%, driven by Vietnam and Russia. Outside these markets, premiumisation trends remain strong as premium volume grew by a low-single-digit, ahead of the total beer portfolio in aggregate and in more than half of HEINEKEN's markets. The growth was driven by Heineken® , further supported by the growth of Desperados, Birra Moretti, Beavertown, Bedele Especial and El Águila among others.

Heineken® continued to lead HEINEKEN's portfolio and grew volume by 1.2% (2.1% excluding Russia) in the second quarter to close the first half with a 1.7% increase (3.7% excluding Russia). Growth was broad-based across 50 markets, most notably in China, Brazil, Mexico, Ethiopia, Panama, Portugal, Croatia and Algeria. Heineken® Silver is now present in 45 markets and grew volume by more than forty-five percent, led by China, Vietnam and Mexico. We continue to build Heineken® Silver across European markets and the launch in the USA shows promising early results as we scale distribution and reach more and more consumers.

Outlook Statements

HEINEKEN's EverGreen strategy is a multi-year and multi-faceted journey to future-proof the company and deliver superior, balanced growth for long-term value creation. HEINEKEN has executed its plans in line with its EverGreen priorities and HEINEKEN is making clear progress in building a premium portfolio, driving consumer-centric innovation, digitisation, sustainability and in improving productivity.

In the second half of 2023, HEINEKEN expects significantly improved operating profit (beia) growth inclusive of:

  • Lower pressure from inflation in input costs, transport and energy & water, from mid-teens in the first-half to lowteens in the second-half on a per hectolitre basis
  • Pricing starting to moderate with volume trends gradually improving to a low-single-digit decline
  • An improved outlook in Vietnam and Nigeria, relative to the significant disruption in the first half
  • A similar absolute level of investment in marketing and sales when compared to the first half
  • Productivity savings delivering at least €300 million, cumulatively well-ahead of the €2 billion gross savings target.

Overall, HEINEKEN's updated expectation for the full year of 2023 is stable to a mid-single-digit operating profit (beia) organic growth. HEINEKEN also anticipate an average interest rate for the year of around 3.2% (2022: 2.8%). Other assumptions on CAPEX and effective tax rate are unchanged.

Looking ahead, the unprecedented commodity and energy cost inflation in recent years will be partially reversed next year, easing the pressure on pricing. Together with the structural changes HEINEKEN is making with EverGreen, HEINEKEN is confident this will set HEINEKEN up for a balanced growth delivery in 2024, while HEINEKEN remains

cautious about the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. HEINEKEN's strong cost and productivity efforts will continue and enable further support behind its growth agenda, fund investments behind EverGreen and contribute to operating profit growth. Therefore, HEINEKEN's medium-term guidance of superior, balanced growth with operating leverage over time remains unchanged.

Translational Calculated Currency Impact

Based on the impact to date, and applying spot rates of 27 July 2023 to the 2022 financial results as a baseline for the remainder of the year, the calculated negative currency translational impact would be approximately €780 million in net revenue (beia), €110 million at consolidated operating profit (beia), and €30 million at net profit (beia).

Interim Dividend 2023

According to the Articles of Association of Heineken Holding N.V. both Heineken Holding N.V. and Heineken N.V. pay an identical dividend per share. HEINEKEN's dividends are paid in the form of an interim dividend and a final dividend. In accordance with its dividend policy, HEINEKEN fixes the interim dividend at 40% of the total dividend of the previous year. As a result, an interim dividend of €0.69 per share (2022: €0.50) will be paid on 10 August 2023. Both the Heineken Holding N.V. shares and the Heineken N.V. shares will trade ex-dividend on 2 August 2023.

Introduction

This report contains the interim financial report of Heineken Holding N.V., headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The interim financial report for the six months ending 30 June 2023 consists of the report of the Board of Directors, the statement of the Board and the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Report of the Board of Directors

Heineken Holding N.V. has a 50.005% interest in the issued share capital (being 50.940% of the outstanding share capital) of Heineken N.V. Standing at the head of the HEINEKEN group, Heineken Holding N.V. is not an ordinary holding company. Since its formation in 1952, Heineken Holding N.V.'s object pursuant to its Articles of Association has been to manage or supervise the management of the HEINEKEN group and to provide services for Heineken N.V. Within the HEINEKEN group, the primary duties of Heineken N.V.'s Executive Board are to initiate and implement corporate strategy and to manage Heineken N.V. and its related enterprise. It is supervised in the performance of its duties by Heineken N.V.'s Supervisory Board. Because Heineken N.V. manages the HEINEKEN group companies, Heineken Holding N.V., unlike Heineken N.V., does not have an internal risk management and control system. Heineken Holding N.V. does not engage in any operational activities and employs no staff.

Further information regarding the developments during the financial half year 2023 of Heineken N.V. and its related companies, and the material risks Heineken N.V. is facing is given in Heineken N.V.'s half year report.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are:

  • Prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not meet the full requirements for annual financial statements required by IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of HEINEKEN as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022. Heineken Holding N.V.'s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 were adopted by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 20 April 2023 and an unqualified auditor's opinion was issued by Deloitte Accountants B.V. thereon.
  • These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 July 2023.
  • Prepared on a historical cost basis unless otherwise stated.
  • Presented in Euro, which is the Company's functional currency.
  • Rounded to the nearest million unless stated otherwise.

3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD

On 28 March 2022, HEINEKEN announced its decision to leave Russia. An impairment loss of €113 million was recognised in relation to the Russia disposal group classified as held for sale. For more information refer to note 10 'Russia disposal group classified as held for sale'.

HEINEKEN applied hyperinflation accounting for its operations in Haiti and Ethiopia. In 2023, the three-year cumulative inflation in Haiti exceeded 100% and as a result, hyperinflation accounting was applied for the first time for the sixmonth period ended 30 June 2023.

Heineken N.V. purchased shares in Heineken N.V. and Heineken Holding N.V. from Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA), former shareholder with significant influence. For more information refer to note 14 'Transactions with related party FEMSA'.

HEINEKEN has assessed the impact of its main risks including continued exposure to risks related to supply chain continuity, climate change impact, foreign exchange volatility, commodity prices and macro-economic downturn in general, on its estimates and judgements. Areas containing the most significant estimates and judgements are referred to in note 4 'Significant accounting estimates and judgements'.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assessments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The areas that involve significant estimates and judgements are described in the consolidated financial statements of HEINEKEN for the year ended 31 December 2022. There has been no material change to these areas during the six-month period ended 30 June 2023, except relating to the judgement used in the identification and valuation of acquired assets and liabilities in Distell and Namibian Breweries.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) General

The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in HEINEKEN's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. HEINEKEN has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

(b) Income tax

Income tax expenses are recognised based on the expected full year effective tax rate per country.

(c) IFRS standards and interpretations effective on or after 1 January 2023

IFRS standards and interpretations effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, do not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of HEINEKEN.

6. SEASONALITY

The performance of HEINEKEN is usually subject to seasonal fluctuations for example as a result of weather conditions. HEINEKEN's full-year results and volumes are dependent on the performance in the peak-selling seasons (May to August and December). The impact from this seasonality is also noticeable in several working capital related items such as inventory, trade receivables and payables.

Reconciliation of segment profit or loss

Operating segments are reported consistently with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Board of Heineken N.V., which is considered to be HEINEKEN's chief operating decision-maker. HEINEKEN measures its segmental performance primarily based on operating profit and operating profit beia (before exceptional items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets) as included in internal management's reports.

Exceptional items are defined as items of income and expenses of such size, nature or incidence, that in the view of management their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of HEINEKEN for the period. Exceptional items include, amongst others, impairments (and reversal of impairments) of goodwill and fixed assets, gains and losses from acquisitions and disposals, redundancy costs following a restructuring, past service costs and curtailments, hyperinflation accounting adjustments, the tax impact on exceptional items and tax rate changes (the oneoff impact on deferred tax positions).

Operating profit beia is a non-GAAP measure not calculated according to IFRS. Beia adjustments are also applied to other metrics. The presentation of these financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the ways the measures are calculated.

The table below presents the reconciliation of operating profit before exceptional items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangibles (operating profit beia) to profit before income tax.

The exceptional items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangibles in net profit for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 amounts to €6 million benefit (2022: €61 million expenses). This amount consists of:

  • €156 million (2022: €161 million) of amortisation of acquisition-related intangibles recorded in operating profit.
  • €172 million of exceptional net expenses recorded in operating profit (2022: €76 million). This includes €175 million of impairments, of which €113 million relates to Russia (2022: €25 million net reversal of impairments), €39 million of net restructuring expenses (2022: €2 million), €25 million exceptional net expenses recorded relating to hyperinflation accounting adjustment (2022: nil), €38 million exceptional net benefit recorded in other income related to tax credits in Brazil (2022: €44 million net benefit recorded as a reduction in marketing expenses related to tax credits in Brazil) and €29 million other exceptional net benefits (2022: €9 million).
  • €81 million of exceptional net finance expenses, mainly related to €125 million of exceptional net expense related to the one-off impact of the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira, €24 million of exceptional net benefit related to the net monetary gain resulting from hyperinflation, €25 million of exceptional net benefit mainly related to interest on tax credits in Brazil and €5 million other exceptional net expenses (2022: €13 million, mainly related to the recognition of interest over tax receivables).
  • €20 million of exceptional net expenses included in share of profit of associates and joint ventures (2022: €23 million).
  • €356 million of exceptional net benefit in income tax expense, mainly related to the recognition of previously unrecognised deferred tax assets in Brazil (2022: €27 million exceptional net benefit, mainly related to the tax benefit on exceptional items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangibles).
  • Total exceptional net benefit allocated to non-controlling interest amounts to €79 million (2022: €7 million).

8. IMPAIRMENTS OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Impairments of €68 million on goodwill, €117 million on owned property, plant and equipment, €5 million on intangible assets with finite useful life and €3 million on right of use (ROU) assets were recorded for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 (2022: €25 million net reversal of impairment). The impairments mainly relate to Brasserie Nationale d'Haiti S.A. (Haiti) for €139 million which is included in the Americas operating segment.

The impairment for Haiti relates to hyperinflation accounting, which was applied for the first time for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. Fixed assets are revalued for the inflation since they were acquired, which resulted in an increase in the carrying value of fixed assets.

The determination of the recoverable amount of the assets of Haiti is based on a VIU valuation, which is based on a discounted 10-year cash flow forecast. The key assumptions used to determine the cash flows are based on market expectations and management's best estimate. Cash flows thereafter are extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate equal to the expected 30-year compounded average inflation, in order to calculate the terminal recoverable amount.

IAS 29 requires entities that apply hyperinflation accounting for the first time to recognise impairment related to prior periods in opening equity. The impairment for Haiti related to prior periods (€135 million) is recorded in the retained earnings balance as at 1 January 2023. The charge relating to the current year (€4 million) and other impairments are recorded on the line 'amortisation, depreciation and impairments' in the income statement.

See the table below for the key assumptions:

Haiti
In % 2023-2026 2027-2032
Pre-tax WACC (in local currency) 33.5 33.5
Expected annual long-term inflation 5.9 5.9
Expected volume growth 5.5 4.4

9. ACQUISITION OF DISTELL AND NAMIBIA BREWERIES

On 14 April 2023, HEINEKEN obtained a controlling stake of 59.4% in Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) and on 26 April 2023, HEINEKEN fully acquired the remaining operations of Distell Group Holdings Limited (Distell) post the carve-out of their whiskey and gin activities. NBL and Distell have been combined with Heineken South Africa into a new HEINEKEN majority-owned business 'Heineken Beverages'. HEINEKEN has a 65% shareholding in Heineken Beverages. Distell and NBL are consolidated within HEINEKEN as from those dates.

Distell is Africa's leading producer and marketer of ciders, flavoured alcoholic beverages, wines and spirits, and NBL is the beer market leader in Namibia. Heineken Beverages will have a significantly strengthened and complementary route to market in South Africa and Namibia with further growth opportunities across Southern Africa.

The Savanna and Windhoek brands represent the majority of the intangible assets valued at Distell and NBL respectively. The goodwill is mainly attributable to a strategic premium included in the transaction and earnings beyond the period over which intangible assets are amortised. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Upon obtaining control, the existing equity interest in NBL was revalued to fair value, which resulted in a gain in previously-held equity interest of €14 million (net of gain in previously held equity interest and recycling of currency exchange differences from translation reserve), recorded in 'Other income' in the income statement.

The following table summarises the recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

In millions of € Distell NBL
Property, plant and equipment 513 84
Intangible assets 611 164
Investments in associates and joint ventures 58
Inventories 566 30
Trade and other receivables 285 26
Cash and cash equivalents 88 83
Other assets 46
Assets acquired 2,167 387
Current liabilities (556) (133)
Deferred tax liabilities (280) (71)
Other non-current liabilities (20) (5)
Liabilities assumed (856) (209)
Total net identifiable assets 1,311 178
In millions of €
Consideration transferred 1,230 358
Non-controlling interests 481 76
Net identifiable assets acquired 1,311 178
Goodwill on acquisition 400 256

No material acquisition-related costs have been recognised in the income statement for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023.

HEINEKEN considers the measurement period for acquiring control of Distell and NBL to be closed as at 30 June 2023. Any adjustments afterwards will be recognised in the consolidated income statement.

The amount of revenue recognised for Distell and NBL after obtaining control amounts to €241 million; the amount of loss recognised after obtaining control amounts to €2 million. If control was obtained on 1 January 2023, revenue and profit for HEINEKEN would have been €18,027 million and €1,185 million respectively, for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023.

10. RUSSIA DISPOSAL GROUP CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

On 28 March 2022, HEINEKEN announced its decision to leave Russia. A further impairment loss of €113 million (31 December 2022: €88 million) was recognised in relation to the Russia disposal group classified as held for sale, bringing the net carrying value to nil as of 30 June 2023. Determining the fair value less cost of disposal as of 30 June 2023 involved judgement and consideration of the increasing uncertainties around the Russia disposal group.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial risk management

The consolidated financial statements of HEINEKEN for the year ended 31 December 2022 describe the financial risks that HEINEKEN is exposed to in the normal course of business, as well as the policies and processes that are in place for managing these risks. Those risks, policies and processes remain valid and should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements.

(b) Fair value

For bank loans and other interest-bearing liabilities, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The fair value of the unsecured bond issued as at 30 June 2023 was €12,771 million (31 December 2022: €11,564 million) and the carrying amount measured at amortised cost was €13,780 million (31 December 2022: €12,766 million).

(c) Fair value hierarchy

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2023, there have been no material changes related to the fair value hierarchy.

12. EQUITY

(a) Reserves

Reserves consist of a translation reserve, hedging reserve, fair value reserve, other legal reserves and reserve for own shares. The main variance in comparison to prior year is driven by foreign currency translation in the translation reserve and the purchase of own shares in the reserve for own shares.

(b) Weighted average number of shares

For the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 2022
Total number of shares issued 288,030,168 288,030,168
Effect of own shares held (3,097,450)
Weighted average number of basic shares outstanding 284,932,718 288,030,168
Weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding 284,932,718 288,030,168

Heineken Holding N.V. entered into a cross-holding agreement with Heineken N.V., which, amongst other conditions, includes a waiver by Heineken N.V. of payment of any dividends on the Heineken Holding N.V. shares held by Heineken N.V. as well as by Heineken Holding N.V. on an equivalent number of Heineken N.V. shares held by Heineken Holding N.V. The Heineken N.V. shares for which dividend is waived by Heineken Holding N.V. are therefore not part of the number of outstanding ordinary shares of Heineken N.V. The shares were acquired during 2023, refer to note 14 'Transactions with related party FEMSA'.

(c) Dividends

The following dividends have been declared and paid by Heineken Holding N.V.:

Financing headroom

The committed financing headroom at Group level was approximately €1.5 billion as at 30 June 2023 (31 December 2022: €3.6 billion) and consisted of the undrawn revolving credit facility and centrally available cash minus commercial paper in issue and short-term bank borrowings.

In March 2023, HEINEKEN refinanced its €3.5 billion revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility is set to mature in May 2028 and has two 1-year extension options. The facility is committed by a group of 18 banks.

New financing

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2023, HEINEKEN secured additional financing by issuing the following notes, which are included in the unsecured bond issues:

Date of Note Date of maturity
issuance
9 March 2023
€500 million of 1.5-year Notes with a coupon of 3.875% 23 September 2024
9 March 2023 €750 million of 7.5-year Notes with a coupon of 3.875% 23 September 2030
9 March 2023 €750 million of 12-year Notes with a coupon of 4.125% 23 March 2035

14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTY FEMSA

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2023, Heineken N.V. purchased approximately 10.3 million Heineken N.V. shares and approximately 5.2 million Heineken Holding N.V. shares from FEMSA as part of the accelerated bookbuild offering.

The shares Heineken Holding N.V. which are being held by Heineken N.V. are recognised as treasury shares by Heineken Holding N.V. For further information, refer to note 12 'Equity'.

Following the completion of the purchase, FEMSA no longer holds any shares in HEINEKEN except for any shares retained underlying FEMSA's outstanding Bonds, exchangeable into ordinary shares of Heineken Holding N.V., and has ceased to be a shareholder with significant influence.

15. TAX

For the six-month period ended 30 June 2023, the effective tax rate was 7.6% (2022: 28.5%). The effective tax rate decreased mainly due to the recognition of previously unrecognised deferred tax assets in Brazil during the six-month period ended 30 June 2023.
