Q3 2025 earnings summary30 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Net revenue grew 7% year-over-year, driven by resilient net revenue per hectoliter and strong brand equity, especially in Brazil, despite a 5.8% consolidated volume decline.

  • EBITDA increased 2.9% year-over-year with margin expansion, and normalized EPS rose 8.7% year-over-year.

  • Year-to-date, topline grew 4%, EBITDA up over 7% with 120 basis points margin expansion, and normalized EPS up above 7%.

  • Board approved a share buyback program of up to R$2.5 billion (~208 million shares) and announced R$6 billion in dividends.

  • Cash flow from operating activities totaled R$6.9 billion, down 14.7% year-over-year due to higher cash taxes and slower monetization of tax credits.

Financial highlights

  • Normalized net income reached BRL3.8 billion, up 7.4% year-over-year, mainly due to a lower effective tax rate.

  • Stated net income was BRL4.9 billion, up 36% year-over-year, reflecting one-off effects.

  • Normalized EBITDA: R$7,059.1 million (+2.9% organic vs. 3Q24), with margin up 50 bps to 33.9%.

  • Gross margin expanded by 10 bps to 51.5% due to revenue and cost management initiatives.

  • Effective tax rate for Q3 was 6.7% (down from 23.6% last year) due to tax amnesty, fiscal incentives, and Barbados divestment.

Outlook and guidance

  • Guidance for Brazil Beer cash COGS per hectoliter remains unchanged, aiming for the lower half of the 5–7% range.

  • Management expects continued margin expansion and resilient EBITDA growth, leveraging major events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup and a favorable holiday calendar.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
