Recent events
On 11 March 2022, the company announced that it is forfeiting all financial benefits from the operations of AB InBev Efes,
an associate which does business in Russia and Ukraine, in which it holds a 50% non-controlling stake and which the
company does not consolidate. On 22 April 2022, the company announced its decision to sell its non-controlling interest
in AB InBev Efes and is in active discussions with its partner, Turkish Brewer Anadolu Efes, to acquire this interest. AB
InBev's request regarding the suspension of the license for production and sale of Bud in Russia will also be part of a
potential transaction. During the year ended 31 December 2022, the company derecognized the investment in AB InBev
Efes and reported a 1 143m US dollar non-cash impairment charge in non-underlying share of results of associates. (Refer
to Section Risks and uncertainties, Note 4 Use of estimates and judgements, Note 8 Non-underlying items, Note 16
Investments in associates and Note 31 Related Parties).
Selected financial figures
To facilitate the understanding of our underlying performance, the comments in this management report, unless otherwise
indicated, are based on organic and normalized numbers. "Organic” means the financials are analyzed eliminating the
impact of changes in currencies on translation of foreign operations, and scopes. Scopes represent the impact of
acquisitions and divestitures, the start-up or termination of activities or the transfer of activities between segments,
curtailment gains and losses and year-over-year changes in accounting estimates and other assumptions that
management does not consider part of the underlying performance of the business.
The tables in this management report provide the segment information per region for the period ended 31 December 2022
and 2021 in the format up to Normalized EBIT level that is used by management to monitor performance.
Whenever used in this report, the term "normalized" refers to performance measures (EBITDA, EBIT, Profit, EPS, effective
tax rate) before non-underlying items. Non-underlying items are either income or expenses that do not occur regularly as
part of the normal activities of the company. They are presented separately because they are important for the
understanding of the underlying sustainable performance of the company due to their size or nature. Normalized measures
are additional measures used by management and should not replace the measures determined in accordance with IFRS
as an indicator of the company's performance, but rather should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable
IFRS measures.
