Growth meets margin pressure

AB InBev's third-quarter revenue increased 4.9 percent organically to USD 16.5 billion, while normalized EBITDA rose 3.9 percent to USD 5.957 billion. The operating margin contracted by 34 basis points to 36.1 percent.

DER AKTIONÄR reported that organic volume growth was only 0.4 percent, with China demand remaining weak. The earnings mix was stronger, helped by premium brands and non-alcoholic drinks, but the volume trend and lower margin remain important issues for investors.
