CEO STATEMENT

Jean-François van Boxmeer, Chairman of the Executive Board & CEO, commented:

"2013 was a challenging year as slower economic growth in a number of key markets and adverse regulatory developments impacted performance. However, we increased investments in our premium brand portfolio and innovation. This helped to drive higher revenue per hectolitre and market share gains in a number of important markets. Our volume performance improved in the second half of the year in Western Europe and Africa Middle East. TCM2 generated €300 million of cost savings, driving higher operating margins. Whilst the performance of developing markets was not as strong as expected, they now account for nearly half of group revenues and remain strong platforms for long-term growth. We will continue to invest in and focus on the execution of our strategic priorities to drive future growth."

OUTLOOK 2014 (Based on consolidated reporting)

In 2014, HEINEKEN expects a gradual recovery in the global economy to underpin improved trading conditions in several of its key markets. This, together with a continued focus on effectively executing against our strategic priorities – Drive Heineken® brand outperformance in the premium segment, invest in brands and innovation for growth, leverage global scale to drive cost efficiencies, capture opportunities in developing markets, drive personal leadership and further embed sustainability across the business – is expected to drive an improved business performance in 2014, and support sustainable revenue and profit growth.

Improved revenue growth: HEINEKEN expects volume growth in developing markets in Africa Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America and lower consumption in Europe. This is expected to lead to an improved organic volume performance trend versus 2013. In addition, revenue management initiatives are again expected to drive higher revenue per hectolitre, albeit at a more modest level compared with 2013. Overall, this is expected to result in organic revenue growth in 2014. Emerging markets currencies remain volatile however, and based on current spot rates, this is expected to have an adverse impact on reported revenues.

HEINEKEN plans a slight increase in marketing & selling (beia) spend as a percentage of revenue in 2014 (2013: 12.6%). This primarily reflects higher planned commercial investments in Europe, where HEINEKEN is focused on further premium brand development, ongoing innovation and driving excellence in sales execution.

Driving margin expansion: HEINEKEN is committed to delivering a gradual and sustainable improvement in operating profit (beia) margin in the medium term. This will be supported by continued tight cost management, effective revenue management and the anticipated faster growth of higher margin developing markets.

HEINEKEN expects to realise its targeted TCM2 savings of €625 million covering 2012-2014 during the year. An intensified focus on driving cost efficiencies is expected to result in new restructuring opportunities across the Company. In particular, HEINEKEN plans to further leverage the Global Business Services organisation to accelerate efficiency benefits in Europe by expanding the scope of activities within the HEINEKEN Global Shared Services centre.

As a result of ongoing productivity initiatives, HEINEKEN expects an organic decline in the total number of employees in 2014. HEINEKEN expects input cost prices to be stable to slightly lower in 2014 (excluding a foreign currency transactional effect).

Foreign currency movements: Exchange rate movements will adversely impact revenues and profits in 2014. Assuming spot rates as of 10 February 2014, the calculated negative currency translational impact on consolidated operating profit (beia) will be approximately €115 million. At net profit (beia), this effect will be around €75 million.

Improving financial flexibility: HEINEKEN will maintain its focus on cash flow generation and disciplined working capital management. The Company remains committed to achieving its long-term target net debt/ EBITDA (beia) ratio of below 2.5 by the end of 2014. In 2014, capital expenditure related to property, plant and equipment is forecasted to be approximately €1.5 billion (2013: €1.4 billion). This increase primarily reflects investments in additional brewing capacity and commercial assets to support the anticipated growth in developing markets. Consequently, HEINEKEN expects a cash conversion ratio of below 100% in 2014 (2013: 84%).

Interest rate: HEINEKEN forecasts an average interest rate of around 4.1% (2013: 4.4%) reflecting lower average coupons on outstanding bonds.

Effective tax rate: HEINEKEN expects the effective tax rate (beia) for 2014 to be in the range of 28% to 30% (2013: 28.7%), broadly in line with 2013.

GROUP OPERATIONAL REVIEW

In 2013, despite challenging beer market conditions in several key markets, HEINEKEN continued to invest in its premium brand portfolio and strengthening its market positions. This was supported by higher commercial investments to enhance brand equity and drive effective execution in the marketplace. This led to market share gains in the key markets of Mexico, Vietnam, Russia, France and the U.S. The Company added new capacity in the higher growth markets of Asia Pacific, Americas and Africa Middle East to fully capitalise on current and future growth opportunities in these regions. APB continued its strong growth momentum and was successfully integrated within the HEINEKEN Asia Pacific region. HEINEKEN's continued focus on revenue management and disciplined cost management drove higher revenue per hectolitre and operating margin expansion.

Organically, group revenue grew 0.1%, with lower volume offset by higher pricing and positive sales mix, driving a 2.7% increase in group revenue per hectolitre. Organically, group beer volume was 2.7% lower, as a fragile economic environment, higher excise duties and other adverse regulatory developments led to reduced consumer spending in Europe. In addition, slower economic growth and social unrest impeded volume development in key developing markets. In the second half of the year, group revenue grew 0.8% organically, reflecting improved trading conditions in Western Europe and several key markets in the Americas and Africa Middle East regions.

Group operating profit (beia) grew 0.6%, on an organic basis, as the benefit of higher revenue and TCM2 cost savings was partly offset by higher marketing and selling expense and input costs. Group operating profit (beia) in developing markets grew around 3% organically, reflecting strong profit contributions from Mexico, Nigeria and APB markets, partly offset by lower profitability in a number of key markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Group operating profit (beia) margins expanded by 20 basis points to 15.0% which includes a positive impact from full consolidation of the higher margin APB business.

Heineken® volume in the international premium segment declined by 1.8% in 2013 against strong prior year comparable growth of 5.3%. This performance reflects lower volume in the key markets of U.S, Vietnam and France, with the latter being largely impacted by the effect of destocking following a significant excise duty increase in January 2013. Heineken® had a solid brand performance in Nigeria, South Africa, Russia, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, China, South Korea, Austria and Germany. In China, Heineken® achieved an important milestone, with brand volume surpassing 1 million hectolitres. In France, the Heineken® brand achieved volume share leadership in the beer category for the first time. Heineken® continues to maintain clear leadership in the international premium segment with 20% category share, supported by the success of the 'Open Your World' global campaign.

Volume of Strongbow, our leading cider brand, declined by 2% reflecting lower volume in the UK and South Africa, partly offset by solid brand growth in the U.S. and the Caribbean. During the year, Strongbow was introduced in Mexico, whilst a range of flavour extensions for the Strongbow and Bulmers brands were successfully launched in the UK. Volume of Desperados, our high margin tequila-flavoured beer, grew by 2% following a strong brand performance in the UK, Belgium, Germany and the Caribbean, partly offset by lower volume in France and Poland. Desperados was also launched in a further 4 markets, with the brand now available in over 60 markets.

In 2013, HEINEKEN leveraged its increased scale to support the roll out of global and local brand innovations across multiple markets. This drove an innovation rate of 5.9% (compared with 5.3% in 2012), contributing €1.1 billion of revenues in 2013. 'Radler' beers were launched in 19 markets with the product now available in 31 markets across all 5 regions. THE SUB®, a new draught beer appliance, was unveiled to exploit the fast growing at-home draught beer market and will be rolled out across a number of markets in 2014.

TCM2 delivered €300 million of pre-tax cost savings in 2013. Supply chain and commerce contributed 71% and 9% of realised cost savings, respectively. Reduced fixed costs represent approximately 60% of total cost savings primarily related to supply chain, commerce and global support functions.

As previously announced, HEINEKEN is intensifying efforts to drive operational efficiencies in Europe through rightsizing and other restructuring activities. In the fourth quarter of 2013, restructuring initiatives were implemented in France, Greece and the UK, resulting in pre-tax exceptional costs of €99 million (of which €61 million is cash related) in 2013. This was above the previously communicated estimated exceptional costs of €70 million, mainly due to the earlier implementation of planned restructuring activities in Greece.

The GBS organisation remains a key enabler of TCM2 cost savings. HEINEKEN Global Procurement (HGP) continues to drive considerable cost benefits facilitated by the central negotiation and purchasing of both product and non-product related spend areas. In addition, 14 of the 24 operating companies in Europe have now successfully transitioned financial transactional services to the HEINEKEN Global Shared Services (HGSS) centre in Poland, with plans for the remaining operating companies to transition these activities by the end of 2014. HEINEKEN plans to further leverage the scalability of GBS by expanding the scope of activities carried out by HGSS. This primarily comprises processes related to purchasing, order fulfilment and standard reporting activities of operating companies. All operating companies in Europe will have transitioned these new activities to HGSS by the end of 2015. In 2013, upfront costs related to the set-up of the GBS organisation were €67 million (including €51 million recognised as an operational expense and €16 million of capitalised IT infrastructure costs). This brings the cumulative amount of upfront GBS costs as at the end of 2013 to €169 million, of which €133 million has been recognised as an operating expense and €36 million capitalised.

From 2014, the planned migration of additional processes and activities from operating companies to HGSS is expected to give rise to restructuring activities. The related costs will be recognised as an exceptional item and not as a recurring operating expense.

TOTAL DIVIDEND FOR 2013

The Heineken N.V. dividend policy is to pay out a ratio of 30% to 35% of full-year net profit (beia). The payment of a total cash dividend of €0.89 per share of €1.60 nominal value for 2013 (total dividend 2012: €0.89) will be proposed to the annual meeting of shareholders. If approved, a final dividend of €0.53 per share will be paid on 8 May 2014, as an interim dividend of €0.36 per share was paid on 3 September 2013. The payment will be subject to a 15% Dutch withholding tax. The ex-final dividend date for Heineken N.V. shares will be 28 April 2014.

DEFINITIONS

Organic growth excludes the effect of foreign currency translational effects, consolidation changes, exceptional items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangibles. Beia refers to financials before exceptional items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets. Group figures are consolidated figures plus attributable share of figures from joint ventures and associates. Organic growth calculations assume HEINEKEN's joint venture share of 41.9% of APB prior to consolidation is maintained through to 15 November 2013. Organic growth of consolidated volume, consolidated revenue and consolidated operating profit (beia) only includes an impact from APB from 16 November to 31 December 2013. Organic growth calculations are adjusted for the previous 3-month delay reported by APB, without a restatement to 2012. Comparative 2012 financials have been adjusted for the impact of revised IAS19. In 2013, the first time impact of revised IAS19 on operating profit (beia), EBIT (beia), net profit (beia) and EPS (beia) is treated as a non-organic item.

Consolidated revenue grew 1.5% organically with solid revenue per hectolitre growth of 4.6%, partly offset by lower volume. Consolidated operating profit (beia) grew by 2.7% organically, led by higher profit in Nigeria and Egypt, with profit lower in Tunisia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Depreciation of the Egyptian pound and Nigerian naira versus the euro reporting currency reduced both consolidated revenue and operating profit (beia). Consolidated operating profit (beia) margins expanded by 40 basis points reflecting the benefit of higher pricing, improved sales mix and operational cost efficiencies.

Group beer volume was slightly below the prior year, on an organic basis, as lower volumes in Algeria, Tunisia, Rwanda, South Africa and the DRC were partly offset by higher volume in Nigeria, Ethiopia, Burundi and Egypt. In the fourth quarter, an improved volume performance in the key markets of Nigeria, Republic of Congo and the DRC drove group beer volume growth of 2%.

A decline in non-beer volume reflects the planned discontinuation of certain SKU's in the soft drink and water categories in Egypt and Tunisia, respectively, in line with the focus on driving value growth.

The beer market in Nigeria in 2013 was impacted by a moderation in economic growth and pressure on household incomes. Against this backdrop, volume in Nigeria grew in the lowsingle digits reflecting growth of the lower-end lager and malt segments, whilst Heineken® benefited from targeted brand activation. Higher profitability was supported by increased pricing and realised cost savings.

Total volume in Egypt declined slightly as performance in the second half of the year was adversely impacted by renewed social unrest and consequently lower tourism.

Volume of the Brandhouse joint venture in South Africa declined in the low-single digits in a beer market adversely impacted by challenging economic conditions and lower consumer spending. Within the premium beer portfolio, growth of the Heineken® brand was offset by lower volume of Amstel and Windhoek.

Volume in the DRC declined in the high-single digits, reflecting the impact of a substantial excise beer increase at the end of 2012 and ongoing civil unrest in the country.

Consolidated revenue grew 1.7% organically, driven by effective revenue growth management initiatives and a focus on premium brand development across the region. Consolidated operating profit (beia) grew 5.3% organically, driven by double digit profit growth in Mexico. This contributed to a 100 basis point increase in consolidated operating profit (beia) margin for the region. The hedging of U.S. dollar cash inflows related to the U.S. export operations contributed to a favourable currency impact.

Group beer volume declined by 2.0% organically, primarily reflecting beer market weakness in Brazil, Mexico and the U.S. This was only partially offset by volume growth in Haiti, Chile, Canada and the Caribbean.

In Mexico, a moderation in economic growth and hurricane weather in September impacted consumer spending. Whilst this led to a slight volume decline, the effectiveness of brand investments and strong sales execution supported market share gains and growth of the Heineken®, Tecate Light and Dos Equis brands. Higher pricing, improved sales mix and ongoing cost efficiencies all contributed to strong profit growth and over 200 basis points of operating margin expansion.

In Brazil, group beer volume declined in the mid-single digits in a market adversely impacted by inflationary pressures, slower economic growth and periods of social unrest. Lower sales of the mainstream brand portfolio were only partly offset by continued growth of Heineken® as we continue to invest in development of the international premium segment. Kaiser Radler was launched in the second half of the year with encouraging results.

In the U.S, slow economic growth and unfavourable weather in the first half of the year led to a low-single digit decline of the beer market. Sales to retailers declined by 0.6%, outperforming the total beer market and driving continued share gains in the country. Sales to wholesalers were 1.5% lower, partly reflecting stock build of the new Heineken® bottle at the end of 2012. Continued double-digit growth of the Dos Equis and Tecate Light brands was offset by lower Heineken® brand volume. Innovation volume accelerated driven by strong growth of Strongbow cider, reaffirming our strategy to develop a leading premium brand portfolio in the U.S.

Group and consolidated volume and financials for 2013 include the full consolidation of APB, acquired on 15 November 2012. The organic growth calculation for consolidated volume and financials reflects performance in export markets and a contribution from APB for the six weeks ended 31 December 2013.

APB maintained its strong underlying growth momentum, with pro forma volumes increasing 7 % and operating profit (beia) growing 14% in 2013.

Group beer volume grew organically by 4.2%, reflecting solid performances of APB markets including Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Mongolia. Heineken® grew strongly in Singapore, New Zealand and China, with brand volume in the latter surpassing one million hectolitres for the first time. The Tiger brand grew 30% with gains across nearly all markets and particularly strong performances in Vietnam, Malaysia and China.

Volume in Vietnam increased by double digits, resulting in market share gains in the country. This was mainly driven by the accelerated growth of the Tiger brand and the mainstream brands of Biere Larue and Anchor, partly offset by lower Heineken® volume.

Volume in Indonesia increased in the mid-single digits, driven by the Bintang brand.

Volume in China grew in the low-single digits with continued strong growth of the Tiger and Heineken® brands in the international premium segment partly offset by lower volume of the mainstream Anchor brand.

Volume in India was in line with the prior year, with improved growth momentum towards the end of the year offsetting the negative impact from an earlier start to the monsoon season and regulatory changes in Tamil Nadu.

In key export markets, Heineken® volume grew strongly in South Korea and was slightly lower in Taiwan, with sustained brand investment and innovation supporting share gains in both markets.

Higher revenue per hectolitre growth of 4% was offset by lower volume, resulting in an organic consolidated revenue decline of 2.1%. Consolidated operating profit (beia) declined by 13% organically, primarily reflecting lower profitability in Russia, Poland and Romania.

Group beer volume declined 6.0% organically, as higher volume in Austria, Hungary, Germany and Serbia was more than offset by lower volume in Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Greece and Romania. HEINEKEN's value growth strategy in the region is focused on improving revenue per hectolitre with a strong innovation pipeline and outlet execution. This drove positive revenue per hectolitre growth and supported value market share development in the region in 2013.

In Russia the impact of excise increases and other adverse regulatory changes continues to limit the beer industry's commercial freedom in the country and has resulted in deterioration in HEINEKEN's medium-term outlook for the Russian beer market against earlier expectations. Consequently, an impairment of €102 million before tax has been recognised in 2013. Volume in Russia declined markedly with lower volume of mainstream and economy brands only partly offset by strong Heineken® brand growth. Overall sales mix and revenue per hectolitre improved in line with the region's value growth strategy and we continued to strengthen our volume and value share.

Volume in Poland declined in the mid-single digits, in line with an overall beer market adversely impacted by weak economic growth and high unemployment. Profitability was lower, as the effect of negative operational leverage and adverse channel mix was only partly offset by cost efficiency improvements.

The beer market in Romania was adversely impacted by unfavourable weather, a weak consumer environment and increased price promotion by competition. This led to lower volume and profitability, whilst value share increased slightly.

In Greece, the challenging socio-economic conditions resulted in a mid-single digit domestic volume decline. Lower Heineken® and Amstel brand volume was partially offset by strong growth of the Alfa brand as the economy segment continued to grow. In the fourth quarter of 2013, restructuring was announced across the supply chain function, which is expected to drive productivity improvements in the immediate future. In addition, plans to create an innovation centre in Athens were announced, that will support new product development and drive positive engagement with consumers.

Volume in Austria grew slightly, outperforming a market adversely impacted by severe flooding in June. This performance was led by higher volume for the Gösser brand and double-digit growth of Heineken®.

Higher revenue per hectolitre growth of 1.6% was offset by lower volumes, leading to consolidated revenue declining by 2.2%, on an organic basis. This has impacted consolidated operating profit (beia) organic performance for the full year. In the second half of the year, we witnessed an improved organic profit trend, supported by a slight revenue growth and the benefit of accelerated cost savings. The divestment of Hartwall in Finland and impact of higher pension costs in the Netherlands and the UK (following the introduction of revised accounting standard IAS19) are reported as consolidated changes.

Group beer volume declined by 4.1% organically as higher excise duties and other government austerity measures continued to impact consumer spending. The impact of excise-related destocking in France reduced organic group beer volume by 0.5% in 2013. Overall the region delivered a significantly improved performance in the second half of the year with stable volume development supported by a return to normalised weather conditions, a higher rate of innovation and effective commercial programmes. This contributed to improved market share performances across key markets.

The UK beer market was impacted by a fragile economic environment, contributing to a lowsingle digit beer volume decline. Despite this, Foster's made further gains in the higher value segment following strong growth of Foster's Gold and the successful launch of Foster's Radler. We strengthened our position in the cider category, with Bulmers becoming the number one 'over-ice draught' cider and the introduction of Strongbow Dark Fruit and Bulmers Bold Black Cherry. In addition, strong growth of the Desperados, Sol and Tiger brands and stable volume development for Heineken® supported growth of the premium brand portfolio. The benefit of productivity and other cost saving initiatives contributed to strong profit growth.

Volume in France declined in the low-double digits, reflecting the impact of destocking from a 160% excise duty increase in January 2013. Excluding the effect of destocking, volume declined by 7%. HEINEKEN France gained market share, consolidating its volume leadership in the country. The benefit of sustained marketing investments resulted in the Heineken® brand becoming the number one beer brand in both volume and value terms.

Volume in Spain declined in the low-single digits. Successful innovation and the effectiveness of marketing and sales programmes led to an improved volume performance and market share gains in the second half of the year. Cruzcampo Radler was successfully launched in December.

Volume in the Netherlands declined in the low-single digits reflecting the impact of a challenging economic environment and a 10% excise beer duty increase in January 2013. Amstel Radler, Jillz Cider Red Lime and Desperados flavour variants were also successfully launched during the year. In addition, the Company completed the transition to the iconic green bottle for the Heineken® brand in its home market.

8 2012 financials have been restated for the impact of revised IAS19

Changes in consolidation

The main items included as consolidation changes are:

  • The acquisition of a controlling stake in APB, consolidated from 15 November 2012
  • The acquisition of Efes Breweries International's 28% stake in Central Europe Beverages, Serbia, now a wholly owned subsidiary, on 27 December 2012 and disposal of a 28% stake in Efes Kazakhstan, on 8 January 2013
  • The divestment of Pago International, a wholly owned subsidiary, on 15 February 2013
  • The implementation of revised accounting standard IAS19, from 1 January 2013
  • The divestment of Oy Hartwall Ab in Finland on 23 August 2013

Revenue

Revenue grew 4.5% to €19,203 million, including a positive net consolidation impact of 7.5% (+€1,377 million) and unfavourable foreign currency translational effect of 2.1% (-€389 million), largely driven by depreciation of the British pound, Egyptian pound, Nigerian naira, Brazilian real and the Russian rouble versus our euro reporting currency. An organic revenue decrease of 0.9% is made up of a total consolidated volume decline of 3.5%, partly offset by a 2.6% increase in revenue per hectolitre (net of a positive country mix effect of 0.6%).

Total expenses (beia)

Total expenses (beia) were €16,262 million, up 1% on an organic basis. Input costs decreased organically by 1% to €4,262 million and increased by 2% on a per hectolitre basis. Energy and water costs declined by 2.9% organically. Marketing and selling expenses (beia) increased organically by 1.2% to €2,418 million, representing 12.6% of revenues (2012: 12.2%).

Operating profit (beia)

Operating profit (beia) grew by 10% to €2,941 million, including a positive net consolidation impact of 12.5% (+€333 million) and unfavourable foreign currency translational effect of 1.5% (€39 million). On an organic basis, operating profit (beia) declined by 0.7% as lower revenue was only partially offset by reduced input costs and the benefit of realised cost savings.

Share of net profit of associates and joint ventures (beia)

Share of net profit of associates and joint ventures (beia) decreased from €252 million to €150 million mainly reflecting the full consolidation of APB (HEINEKEN reported its share of net profit from its previously held equity interest in APB prior to consolidation). On an organic basis, share of net profit of associates and joint ventures (beia) increased by 8.4%, primarily reflecting higher profit of Asia Pacific Breweries (from 1 January to 15 November 2013) and our joint venture in Chile, Compania Cervecerias Unidas. This was only partly offset by lower profitability of United Breweries Limited, our Indian joint venture business.

Net finance expenses (beia)

Net interest expenses (beia) increased by €43 million, reflecting higher interest expenses related to financing raised for the acquisition of APB. On an organic basis, net interest expenses declined by €31 million. The average interest rate in 2013 was 4.4%, compared with 5.4% in 2012.

Other net finance expenses (beia) amounted to €72 million, primarily due to the interest expense on the net pension liability being presented in other net finance income/(expenses) from 1 January 2013. On an organic basis, other net finance expenses increased by €32 million, due to the impact of adverse foreign currency transactional movements and lower dividends received.

Income tax expense (beia)

The effective tax rate (beia) was 28.7% (2012: 26.6%). The higher effective tax rate (beia) can be primarily explained by the full consolidation of APB which is subject to a higher effective tax rate and the result of favourable outcomes with tax authorities included in 2012.

Net profit and net profit (beia)

Net profit declined by €1,550 million to €1,364 million. This includes net exceptional items and amortisation costs of €221 million, compared with a net exceptional items and amortisation gain of €1,253 million in 2012, which included an exceptional gain of €1,486 million related to the revaluation of HEINEKEN's previously held equity interest in APB. Further details on exceptional items and amortisation are provided in Appendix 12 'Non-GAAP Measures'.

Net profit (beia) declined by €76 million to €1,585 million. The combined impact of unfavourable currency translational movements and consolidation changes (excluding the impact of revised IAS19) decreased net profit (beia) by €3 million. The introduction of revised IAS19 is recognised as a consolidation impact and reduced net profit (beia) by €40 million. On an organic basis, net profit (beia) declined by 2%.

Foreign exchange rate movements

Unfavorable foreign currency translation decreased operating profit (beia) by €39 million. This was largely due to a depreciation of the Egyptian Pound (-18%), the British pound (-5%) and the Nigerian naira (-3%). At the net profit level, foreign currency translational movements had a negative impact of €20 million.

HEINEKEN delays the impact of the U.S. dollar fluctuations versus the euro by hedging the net cash inflow of U.S. dollars from exports for up to 18 months in advance.

The average EUR/USD exchange rate inclusive of hedging was 1.31 in 2013, versus 1.36 in 2012. For the full year 2014, the net dollar inflow is forecasted at US\$537 million, of which 87% has been hedged at EUR/USD 1.31.

For 2015, the net dollar inflow is forecasted at approximately US\$555 million of which 29% is hedged at EUR/USD 1.35 as of 7 February 2014.

Capital expenditure and cash flow

Capital expenditure related to property, plant and equipment increased to €1,369 million (2012: €1,170 million) representing 7.1% of revenue (2012: 6.4%). This reflects the consolidation of APB and higher investments in new capacity, renewal of returnable bottle fleet and commercial investments in several developing markets.

Free operating cash flow increased to €1,518 million from €1,484 million, predominantly due to higher cash flow from operations partly offset by higher capital expenditure and income tax paid.

Financial structure

Net debt decreased to €10,868 million (from €12,311 million at 31 December 2012) due to strong free operating cash flow, a net cash inflow from acquisitions and disposals and foreign currency movements.

The pro forma net debt/EBITDA (beia) ratio was 2.6x on 31 December 2013 (2012: 2.8x). HEINEKEN remains committed to achieving its long-term target net debt/ EBITDA (beia) ratio of below 2.5 by the end of 2014.

On 30 January 2014, HEINEKEN privately placed €200 million of 15.5 year 3.5% Notes under its EMTN programme.

Including the effect of cross-currency swaps, 58% of net debt is euro-denominated and 29% is U.S. dollar-denominated. Total gross debt amounts to €12,170 million (from €13,359 million at 31 December 2012).

Average number of shares

In the calculation of basic EPS, the weighted average number of shares outstanding in 2013 was 575,062,357. In the calculation of diluted EPS, shares held in treasury related to the employee incentive programme are not deducted from the weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average diluted number of shares outstanding in 2013 was 576,002,613 (equal to 2012).

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES AND NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

Accounting for the acquisition of APIPL/APB

The accounting for the acquisition of Asia Pacific Investment Pte. Ltd ('APIPL') and Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd ('APB') and their subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'APIPL/APB acquisition') has been finalised on 15 November 2013. Some adjustments were made to the provisional accounting for the APIPL/APB acquisition, resulting in a decrease in goodwill of EUR37 million. The adjustments mainly related to the revaluation of P, P & E based on additional information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, which resulted in an increase in P, P & E of EUR52 million and an increase in trade and other payables of EUR10 million. Comparative information has been restated.

In 2012 the APIPL/APB financial figures were consolidated for 1.5 months from 15 November 2012 to year end. In 2013, the APIPL/APB financial figures have been consolidated for the full year.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests

In 2013, HEINEKEN paid a total cash consideration of EUR156 million for the remaining APB shares outstanding in the market as at 31 December 2012. There were no other individually material acquisitions of non-controlling interests during 2013.

The value of non-controlling interests and equity impact (result of buy-out) are disclosed in the table below:

New Financing

On 4 April 2013, HEINEKEN issued 8-year Notes for a principal amount of EUR500 million with a coupon of 2.0 per cent, followed by a private placement of approximately EUR680 million of Notes with a weighted average yield of 2.5 per cent.

  • 15 April 2013, 20-year Notes for a principal amount of EUR180 million;
  • 16 April 2013, 2-year Notes for a principal amount of SGD75 million;
  • 18 April 2013, 5-year Notes for a principal amount of EUR100 million;
  • 19 April 2013, 20-year Notes for a principal amount of EUR100 million;
  • 17 May 2013, 4-year Notes for a principal amount of SGD100 million;
  • 2 July 2013, 5-year Notes for a principal amount of SGD95 million;
  • 2 July 2013, 30-year Notes for a principal amount of EUR75 million;
  • 4 July 2013, 5-year Notes for a principal amount of EUR60 million.

Financing Headroom

As at 31 December 2013, the committed financing headroom including cash balances available at Group level was approximately EUR 2.7 billion.

Incurrence covenant

HEINEKEN has an incurrence covenant in some of its financing facilities. This incurrence covenant is calculated by dividing net debt (calculated in accordance with the consolidation method of the 2007 Annual Accounts) by EBITDA (beia) (also calculated in accordance with the consolidation method of the 2007 Annual Accounts and including the pro-forma full-year EBITDA of any acquisitions made in 2013). As at 31 December 2013, this ratio was 2.5 (2012: 2.8). If the ratio would be beyond a level of 3.5, the incurrence covenant would prevent us from conducting further significant debt financed acquisitions.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

In the internal management reports HEINEKEN measures its performance primarily based on EBIT and EBIT (beia). These are non-GAAP measures not calculated in accordance with IFRS. A similar non-GAAP adjustment can be made to the IFRS profit or loss as defined in IAS 1 paragraph 7 being the total of income less expense. Exceptional items are defined as items of income and expense 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. The table below presents the relationship with IFRS measures, the results from operating activities and Net profit and HEINEKEN non-GAAP measures being EBIT, EBIT (beia), Consolidated operating profit (beia), Group operating profit (beia) and Net profit (beia) for the financial year 2013.

A P P E N D I X 1 2 ( C O N T I N U E D )

The 2013 exceptional items included in EBIT contain the amortisation of acquisition related intangibles for EUR329 million (2012: EUR198 million), the impairment of intangible assets and P, P & E in Russia for EUR102 million, the gain on sale of our Kazakhstan operations of EUR75 million and restructuring expenses in Europe of EUR99 million (2012: EUR97 million). The remainder of EUR64 million primarily relates to the dilution gain as a result of the share issuance by our joint venture Compania Cervecerias Unidas S.A. of EUR47 million.

The exceptional items in income tax expense include the tax impact on amortisation of acquisition related intangible assets of EUR84 million (2012: EUR53 million), the tax impact on other exceptional items included in EBIT and finance cost of EUR21 million (2012: EUR2 million) and the remeasurement of a deferred tax position due to a tax rate change amounting to EUR46 million (2012: nil).

EBIT and EBIT (beia) are not financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. The presentation on 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.

NOTES TO THE APPENDICES

Reporting entity

Heineken N.V. (the 'Company') is a company domiciled in the Netherlands. The address of the Company's registered office is Tweede Weteringplantsoen 21, Amsterdam. The financial information contained in this document of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013 comprises the Company, its subsidiaries (together referred to as 'HEINEKEN' and individually as 'HEINEKEN' entities) and HEINEKEN's interest in jointly controlled entities and associates.

HEINEKEN is primarily involved in the brewing and selling of beer.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied by HEINEKEN in these appendices are the same as the policies applied by HEINEKEN in the consolidated financial statements for 2013.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the EU and also comply with the financial reporting requirements included in Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Substantially all standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) effective year-end 2013 have been adopted by the EU. It is noted that IFRS 10, 11 and 12, which were adopted by the EU with an effective date of 1 January 2014, were adopted by HEINEKEN as at 1 January 2013. Consequently, the accounting policies applied by the Company also comply fully with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

These appendices do not contain all the information required for a complete full-year set of financial statements.

Revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits

As a result of the revision of IAS 19, HEINEKEN has changed its accounting policy with respect to the basis for determining the income or expense related to defined benefit plans.

Previously, HEINEKEN determined interest income on plan assets based on their long-term expected return. The variance between actual and expected return continues to be accounted for in other comprehensive income. Therefore, the change in method of calculating the net interest expense (income) has no impact on equity. The change in accounting policy increased the defined benefit expense recognised in profit or loss and correspondingly increased the defined benefit plan remeasurement gain recognised in other comprehensive income by EUR96 million for the reporting period ending 31 December 2013 (EUR45 million reduction of remeasurement loss for the period ending 31 December 2012).

A P P E N D I X 1 3 ( C O N T I N U E D )

HEINEKEN now presents the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) in other net finance income and expenses rather than personnel expenses. As a result, a reclassification from personnel expenses to other net finance income and expenses of EUR55 million was made for the reporting period ending 31 December 2013 (EUR51 million for the period ending 31 December 2012).

The revised IAS 19 no longer allows inclusion of future pension administration costs as part of the defined benefit obligation. Such costs should be recognised when the administration services are incurred. Previously, HEINEKEN accrued a surcharge for pension administration costs of the Dutch pension plan as part of the current service costs in the defined benefit obligation. With the adoption of the revised standard, this accrual was released to equity. As a result, HEINEKEN's defined benefit obligation decreased by EUR57 million as at 1 January 2012.

Outstanding shares

As at 31 December 2013 the issued share capital comprised 576,002,613 ordinary shares (2012: 576,002,613). The ordinary shares have a par value of EUR1.60. All issued shares are fully paid.

A P P E N D I X 1 3 ( C O N T I N U E D )

Contingencies

Brazil

As part of the acquisition of the beer operations of FEMSA in 2010, HEINEKEN inherited existing legal proceedings with labour unions, tax authorities and other parties of its, now whollyowned, subsidiaries Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil and Cervejarias Kaiser Nordeste (jointly, Heineken Brasil). The proceedings have arisen in the ordinary course of business and are common to the current economic and legal environment of Brazil. The proceedings have partly been provided for. The contingent amount being claimed against Heineken Brasil resulting from such proceedings as at 31 December 2013 is EUR564 million. Such contingencies were classified by legal counsel as less than probable but more than remote of being settled against Heineken Brasil. However, HEINEKEN believes that the ultimate resolution of such legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or result of operations. HEINEKEN does not expect any significant liability to arise from these contingencies. A significant part of the aforementioned contingencies (EUR308 million) is tax related and qualifies for indemnification by FEMSA.

As is customary in Brazil, Heineken Brasil has been requested by the tax authorities to collateralise tax contingencies currently in litigation amounting to EUR296 million by either pledging fixed assets or entering into available lines of credit which cover such contingencies.
