CEO AND CFO PERSPECTIVES

Gavin Hattersley, President and Chief Executive Officer Statement:

"The macroeconomic environment and its broad effects on the beer industry and consumer, as well as competitive pressures in EMEA&APAC, impacted our financial results in the first quarter. Additionally, in the quarter we saw expected headwinds, namely cycling the prior year's significant inventory build in the U.S., the discontinuation of our contract brewing arrangements in the Americas, and transition fees related to Fever-Tree.

The global macroeconomic environment is volatile. Uncertainty around the effects of geopolitical events and global trade policy, including the impacts on economic growth, consumer confidence and expectations around inflation, and currencies has pressured the beer industry and consumption trends. Given the uncertainty is ongoing, we have adjusted our 2025 full year guidance.

In this environment, we remain focused on controlling what we can control. We have continued to make progress against our Acceleration Plan. Our core power brands remain healthy. We made a significant step forward in our premiumization initiatives and added meaningful scale to our nonalcoholic operations with our exclusive U.S. partnership with Fever-Tree, the world's leader of premium carbonated mixers. Further, we have strong plans for all of our key brands as we enter our peak selling season.
