BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer, reported higher than expected earnings in the third-quarter on Thursday and upgraded its forecast for full-year growth.
The Belgium-based brewer said core profit (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) rose 3.0% on a like-for-like basis in the July-Sept period, against an expected 2.3% drop, according to a company-compiled poll.
The maker of Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois said it now expected EBITDA would grow by between 10% and 12% in 2021. Its previous forecast was for an 8%-12% expansion.
