UPDATE ON HEINEKEN'S RESPONSE TO COVID-19: NAVIGATING THE CRISIS WHILE BUILDING THE FUTURE
From the onset of the pandemic, people's health and safety has been HEINEKEN's highest priority. To support HEINEKEN employees in doing their jobs safely, HEINEKEN established robust COVID-19 preventive measures including working from home where possible, social distancing, strict personal hygiene and disinfection protocols, and providing adequate personal protective equipment.
HEINEKEN also supported its customers, suppliers and the communities most impacted by the pandemic. HEINEKEN assisted customers with advice, re-opening tools, stock returns and helped them set up online delivery. HEINEKEN supported them financially, for example, by waiving close to €50 million in rental payments. HEINEKEN raised over €10 million to support 50,000 outlets across 21 countries through its Back the Bars initiative. HEINEKEN continued to pay all suppliers on time and reduced payment terms to various small suppliers.
HEINEKEN provided twenty-three million Euros worth of pandemic relief to support front-line medical workers in the communities where it operates, including drinking water, non-alcoholic beverages, hand sanitiser, and monetary contributions. These included a €15 million donation to the International Red Cross. In Mexico, HEINEKEN announced a dry ice donation of 55 tons to help safely transport vaccines at low-temperatures. The de Carvalho-Heineken family together with their holding company donated €10 million to eight charities supporting the COVID-19 relief efforts.
HEINEKEN's people adapted quickly and took decisive actions to guarantee business continuity. HEINEKEN entered the crisis with a strong balance sheet and took immediate steps to strengthen its liquidity. HEINEKEN took action to swiftly reduce discretionary expenses and mitigate the impact on its business performance while protecting the future. The commercial teams reallocated resources across channels and brands, increasing their focus on off-trade customers. HEINEKEN accelerated the deployment of its e-commerce platforms, capitalising on digitalisation trends as consumers and customers shopped online. The supply chain teams demonstrated great agility to adapt to a radically different and volatile environment with excellent efficiency and minimum disruptions. As a result, HEINEKEN outperformed the market in most of HEINEKEN's key markets.
In parallel, HEINEKEN colleagues in support functions adapted quickly to working from home, produced timely rolling-forecasts to inform decisions and managed eight, remotely supported, deployments of its standardised ERP platforms in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
Finally, HEINEKEN continued to shape its business for growth, with the entry into Peru, the acquisition of Strongbow in Australia, and the restructuring of the Philippines' business.
TOTAL DIVIDEND FOR 2020
The Heineken N.V. dividend policy is to pay a ratio of 30% to 40% of full year net profit (beia). For 2020, a total cash dividend of €0.70 per share, representing a decrease of 58.3% (2019: €1.68), and a payout ratio of 34.9%, in the middle of the range of the policy, will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Heineken N.V. on 22 April 2021 ("2021 AGM"). If approved, the full dividend will be paid on 6 May 2021, as no interim dividend was paid during 2020. The payment will be subject to a 15% Dutch withholding tax. Due to the reported net loss in 2020, the proposed dividend will be paid out of the equity reserves.
If Heineken N.V. shareholders approve the proposed dividend, Heineken Holding N.V. will, according to its articles of association, pay an identical dividend per share. A final dividend of €0.70 per share of €1.60 nominal value will be payable as of 6 May 2021.

Both the Heineken Holding N.V. shares and the Heineken N.V. shares will trade ex-dividend on 26 April 2021.
2021 OUTLOOK STATEMENTS
Overall the COVID-19 pandemic and governments' measures continue to have a material impact on HEINEKEN's markets and business. 2021 started with many restrictions across HEINEKEN's markets, including on-trade closures and restrictions to travel. In Europe in particular, HEINEKEN estimates that at the end of January 2021, less than 30% of on-trade outlets were operating. Product and channel mix is expected to continue to adversely impact results, especially in Europe.
According to the World Health Organisation, the effect of vaccines on the pandemic will depend on several factors including their effectiveness, speed of their approval, manufacturing and delivery and the number of people getting vaccinated. As such, HEINEKEN expects the pandemic to continue to impact its business in the first half of 2021 and market conditions to gradually improve in the second part of the year.
Input costs per hectolitre are expected to be volatile due to channel and product mix effects. Based on HEINEKEN's hedged positions for 2021, HEINEKEN expects a significant higher negative transactional currency impact on input costs.
The EverGreen programme, a strategic review update, will be in full deployment. For more details reference is made to the Heineken N.V. press release of 10 February 2021.
Overall HEINEKEN expects revenue, operating profit and operating profit margin to stay below the level of 2019.
HEINEKEN also anticipates:
- An average effective interest rate (beia) broadly in line with 2020 (2020: 3.0%)
- Capital expenditure related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of around €1.8 billion (2020: €1.6 billion).
- The effective tax rate (beia) to stay above 2019 level due to the effect of fixed cost components in the tax line.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Heineken Holding N.V. has a 50.005% interest in the issued share capital (being 50.029% (2019: 50.065%) of the outstanding share capital) of Heineken N.V. Standing at the head of HEINEKEN, 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 HEINEKEN and to provide services for Heineken N.V. Within HEINEKEN, 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 year 2020 of Heineken N.V. and its related companies, and the material risks Heineken N.V. is facing is given in Heineken N.V.'s press release.
