The information herein should be read together with our financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 filed with the CVM and submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Net revenue: Net revenue was down 10.4% in 2Q20, with volume declining by 9.4% and decline in net revenue per hectoliter (NR/hl) of 1.0%. Net revenue was down in Brazil (-6.7%), Central America and the Caribbean (CAC) (-33.9%), Latin America South (LAS)[1] (-8.7%) and Canada (-3.9%).

Cost of goods sold (COGS): In 2Q20, COGS and cash COGS (excluding depreciation and amortization) were up 10.0% and 9.9%, respectively. On a per hectoliter basis, COGS grew by 21.4% while cash COGS was up 21.3%, mainly due to inflationary pressures in Argentina, transactional currency headwinds and package mix impacts. In HY20, COGS and cash COGS increased by 9.7% and 10.1%, respectively. On a per hectoliter basis, COGS rose by 18.5% while cash COGS was up 18.9%.

Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses: SG&A and cash SG&A (excluding depreciation and amortization) were down 4.4% and 7.5% despite inflationary pressures in Argentina. The decrease was mainly driven by actions aimed at reducing our discretionary expenses across all our operations. In HY20, SG&A grew by 1.8% while cash SG&A decreased 0.6%.

EBITDA, gross margin and EBITDA margin: In 2Q20, EBITDA reached R$ 3,348.3 million, which corresponds to an organic reduction of 33.6%, with a gross margin of 50.0% (-930bps) and EBITDA margin of 28.8% (-990bps). In HY20, EBITDA was R$ 7,580.8 (-25.6%) with gross margin and EBITDA margin reaching 52.7% (-680bps) and 31.3% (-830bps), respectively.

Normalized profit and EPS: Normalized profit was R$ 1,372.6 million, 49.4% lower than in 2Q19, due to lower EBITDA and higher financial expenses. Normalized EPS in the quarter was R$ 0.08 (-49.3%). In HY20, normalized profit decreased by 52.5%, reaching R$ 2,600.4 million, with normalized EPS of R$ 0.15 (-54.0%).

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Ambev entered the second quarter with two main priorities: (i) ensure our solid financial position by preserving liquidity in the short and long term and (ii) navigate the “new normal” brought by COVID-19 pandemic, protecting our people and adapting to changes while continuing to invest in what we believe will be a competitive advantage going forward: consumer centricity, client service level, digital transformation, innovation and strengthening our ties with the broader ecosystem.

As the pandemic progressed, the significant changes in consumer behavior and channel dynamics that started in mid-March fully affected the quarter with meaningful impact to our profitability, as governments imposed restrictions that varied in terms of scope and intensity in response to COVID-19.

In the charts below, we separated our countries as per the weight of the off-trade channel in each beer market and the household consumer expenditure[2] to illustrate this change in channel dynamics. We also ranked the countries based on the total impact in beer volumes during the second quarter from the most affected, Bolivia, to the least affected, Canada:

Since April, when our consolidated volumes declined 27%, we have seen a gradual recovery, with a decline of 7% in May and a growth of 5% in June, driven mostly by Brazil Beer:

 


2 Household consumer expenditure for each country is indexed at the USA household consumer expenditure, which was set at 100.

·In Brazil, we saw an improving trend throughout the quarter driven by the success of our innovation strategy, the reliability of our supply chain and customer relationships, the strengths of our distribution footprint and a shift in off-trade consumption to traditional outlets, where our portfolio over-indexes. Furthermore, these benefits were amplified by the positive impact of government subsidies on consumer disposable income. Our NAB business, however, was negatively impacted by on-trade restrictions and the consequent change in consumption occasions as well as by consumer trade down.
·CAC was the most impacted region in terms of COVID-related restrictions. Dominican Republic faced a curfew for almost the entire quarter and Panama had restrictions on alcohol consumption and people circulation that severely impacted volumes in the country.
·The performance in LAS was mostly impacted by Bolivia and Argentina, with the former being impacted by the severe restrictions on people circulation imposed by the local government and the latter being more affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 in the economy.
·In Canada, despite the pantry loading effect in 1Q20 and a weak industry this quarter, we delivered better-than-expected results driven by the strong performance of our premium and core plus portfolios and our beyond beer brands.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in our future results, however, remains uncertain. Our actions will be targeted at meeting consumer demand as we strive to deliver a V-shape recovery in top line, while we expect a slower pace of recovery in the bottom line as a result of the package mix, channel mix shift towards the off-trade, continued cost pressures from transactional FX headwinds and the impact of the crisis on disposable consumer income.

Despite the short term disruptions, we will continue to focus on: (i) becoming more customer and consumer centric; (ii) strengthening and further developing our portfolio; (iii) leveraging our unmatched distribution capability; (iv) bringing exciting innovations to consumers; (v) bolstering our digital transformation initiatives; and (vi) investing in our people. By successfully executing our plans, we should create the conditions to emerge stronger from this crisis and drive sustainable growth over the long run.

License to Operate

The on-trade lockdown started in mid-March and evolved as the quarter progressed in different ways for each region in which we operate, with some countries being more restrictive than others with regards to people circulation and the sale of alcoholic beverages.

·In Brazil: the intensity of restrictions varied among regions, since they are determined at the state and municipal levels, with big cities and urban centers being more affected. All our production facilities and distribution centers in Brazil are operating.
·In CAC: the Dominican Republic entered the quarter with a curfew set between 5pm and 5am. During the quarter, the curfew was eased to 8pm to 5am and ended in the last week of June. On July 21st, however, the government reintroduced a curfew between 7pm to 5am. In Panama, we entered the quarter with a ban on alcohol and beer sales established by the government for the entire country and a full lockdown that continued until May 8th, when consumers were allowed to buy one six-pack of beer or one liter of rum per person. On June 21st, restrictions on alcohol sales were lifted. All our production facilities and distribution centers in CAC are operating.
·In LAS: with the exception of Chile, countries started to gradually recover since April, even though Bolivia is still being strongly impacted by restrictions on people circulation. All our production facilities and distribution centers in LAS are operating.
·In Canada: bars and restaurants started to gradually reopen across the country in mid-June, while the off-trade and the retail channels across the provinces remained open. All our breweries in Canada are operating normally.

Ambev as an Ecosystem

Despite the challenges brought by COVID-19, the pandemic has served as a hallmark, a resetting moment that allowed us to reframe our purpose and renew our pact with our ecosystem, developing stronger and more sustainable relationships with our customers, reconnecting with our consumers and helping society.

Our number one priority is and will continue to be the health and safety of our people. In addition, we believe we can make a positive impact in society and have worked to contribute to our ecosystem, playing a central role by leveraging our capabilities and competencies to positively impact our stakeholders and our community through tangible actions:

·In Brazil, we took part in Movimento NÓS, a coalition of eight consumer goods companies that will help approximately 300,000 POCs to reopen with a total investment of R$370 million to support working capital, impacting indirectly more than three million people. Stella Artois and Bohemia continued with the campaign to financially support restaurants and bars, having raised together more than R$ 10 million to date.
·In CAC, with Colmados Seguros in the Dominican Republic and Paisano Seguro in Panama, we have helped POCs guarantee secure spaces for consumers during reopening and partnered to reinvent socializing by creating new safe ways to bring people together.
·In LAS, Quilmes, our subsidiary in Argentina, was recognized by both the public and opinion leaders as the company that is making the greatest efforts to face solidarity actions in the areas where our production is located.

As a recognition to the role we have played since the outbreak of COVID-19, Ambev has received the Solidarity Award from the United Nations that recognizes impactful work that individuals and organizations have been taking to support communities as we navigate the pandemic.

Innovation and Business transformation

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant challenges for our business, it has also accelerated consumer trends that we have been investing on, primarily reinforcing the need for an innovative, consumer-centric mindset and advancing our business transformation enabled by technology.

Innovation has become more and more one of the pillars of our business and front and center to our commercial strategy. We talk about innovation in broader terms, not only in terms of products, but also our relationships with customers and consumers.

As markets mature and new trends appear, consumers demand more options for the different consumption occasions. To connect with our consumers in unique ways, providing them with exceptional products that satisfy their preferences, we must continue to become more flexible in order to deliver the best value propositions available in terms of products and experience.

We have been investing in our production facilities to increase flexibility and be able to launch innovations faster. With ZITEC, our innovation and technology center, our time to market in Brazil has been brought down from more than seven months in 2018 to close to two months in the quarter. We have also reorganized internally, creating “squads” with mandates to deep-dive into new trends and the needs of our consumers, understanding their preferences and listening to their demands.

In this quarter, in Brazil, we started to see this consistent approach to product innovation show results as our market share of products launched in the past three years is now higher than our total market share. One of our recent launches, Brahma Duplo Malte, is perhaps the best example of this innovative approach in action. It is the result of understanding consumer demands for flavor and creaminess and delivering a product that, by combining the Pilsner malt with the Munich malt, delivers a striking character while also providing to consumers a new way of thinking about Pure Malt brands. The product offers a strong value proposition within the core plus segment and has grown consistently since its launch.

In terms of marketing, we continued to invest in new ways of connecting with our consumers, further leveraging our mantra of “Stop interrupting, Start Entertaining” through our livestream concerts platform, the so called “lives”. In the quarter, in Brazil, we had 398 lives that together had more than 676 million views and more than 2.5 million mentions featuring 15 different brands in our portfolio. To give a reference on the dimension of the impact, the lives had 57% more views than FIFA 2018 World Cup Final in Brazil and almost 10x more views in YouTube than the Global Citizen Live concert “Together at Home”.

With a team of over 200 people across all Ambev regions, our internal creative agency Draftline has helped us use resources more efficiently. We were able to internalize the full development of some campaigns and use the information from our direct-to-consumer platforms to customize our marketing while reducing consumer acquisition costs. Also, our regional Draftline units have helped us engage faster with trending topics that require more agility and flexibility.

Our digital transformation has continued to gain relevance in all of our geographies as both customers and consumers call for convenience. In Brazil, our direct-to-consumer platform Zé Delivery had 5.5 million orders in the quarter, more than 3.6x the total orders of the full previous year, reaching 142 cities and 40% of the Brazilian population. Our B2B solution has played an important role in increasing traffic and the total interaction time with our clients, helping reach potential through the assortment of products and allowing our sales representatives to gradually shift towards an approach more focused on trade execution.

In LAS, our digital platforms have helped us reduce volume impact, improve mix of products and better understand our consumers. In Argentina we launched Appbar in April to deliver cold beverages in less than 45 minutes. In Chile and Paraguay, we continued the expansion of the delivery platforms Casa de la Cerveza and Estación, respectively. In Bolivia, we launched the e-commerce for Tiendas Ya, an already established delivery operation, as one of our efforts to increase our exposure to the off-trade channel in the country.

In CAC, the Dominican Republic has been our pilot operation for “Bees”, a proprietary B2B platform with technology developed in-house and designed to deliver a better experience to POCs that already accounts for the majority of the country’s net revenues. Bees integrates products from different categories in the same digital environment and makes suggestions based on advanced algorithms. It is also designed to improve promotions and increase the communication inside the app while allowing for the capture of more data points on clients’ preferences.

Strategic Platforms

Premiumize at scale

Our premium brands performance was significantly impacted in the quarter since these brands are more consumed in on-trade occasions, where we over-index, making Ambev total premium portfolio decrease low teens this quarter. However, we see premiumization as a trend with significant opportunity across our geographies and we continue to work on building the best portfolio to lead this trend, which will fuel our results over the next several years.

·In Brazil, although our premium volume declined low teens driven by our domestic brands Original and Chopp Brahma, which are predominantly sold in the on-trade channel, our global brands still managed to grow double digits, led by Budweiser.
oBudweiser’s quarter was marked by the One Team Live, aimed at supporting health professionals through fundraising and donations to Médicos Sem Fronteiras and Associação Médica Brasileira.

oStella Artois has played a central role in helping bars and restaurants during the pandemic. It continued to lead Ajude um Restaurante, a movement directed towards consumers to rescue restaurants by selling a subsidized voucher for a future dinner that has already raised more than R$ 6 million.
oBeck’s continued its roll-out focused on the southeast region of the country growing substantially. Beck’s quarter was highlighted by its first activation through a live made in partnership with Brazilian DJ Vintage Culture with over 2.2 million views in YouTube.

·In CAC, even though premium brands were strongly affected by the circulation restrictions imposed in the different countries, we were able to increase premium mix in Panama and, in Guatemala, our premium portfolio continued to show a strong momentum driven by Modelo Especial growing by double digits in the quarter.

·In LAS, the premium portfolio declined double digits in the quarter despite Argentina delivering low single-digit growth led by Corona’s strong performance.

 

·In Canada, our strategy of premiumization delivered another quarter of solid growth, mainly driven by Corona growing high single-digits.

 

Differentiate the Core

·Brazil: we continue to further differentiate our core brands focused on building a complete and powerful portfolio and connecting to consumers.
oBohemia has led the way, having grown double or triple digits every quarter since 3Q17, gaining momentum with a newly launched visual brand identity. It has performed an important role leading the efforts to help the small bars during the pandemic.
oSkol has continued to advance on its new positioning of “Lightness goes down well”, partnering with Porta dos Fundos, the Brazilian most-seen comedy channel on YouTube to create weekly content to make the quarantine of its consumers “lighter”. The brand has also made different campaigns with Wesley Safadão and Xand Avião, two famous Brazilian singers. Skol Puro Malte grew by strong double-digits from a meaningful base in the quarter.
oBrahma led the lives with Circuito Brahma, partnering with multiple Sertanejo personalities with an intense agenda of streamings throughout the quarter. The Mother’s Day Special was a highlight with more than six million views. Through the successful launch of Brahma Duplo Malte, we are further elevating our presence in the core plus segment.
·LAS: in Argentina, Quilmes, our classic lager, focused on great campaigns such as “Stay at home”, “Soccer for the people” and “Come back responsibly”. In the core plus segment, Andes Origen has overperformed the industry in Argentina for another consecutive quarter and in Chile, Cusqueña and Budweiser continue to deliver strong results, both growing double-digits in the quarter.
·Canada: the core and core plus segments showed resilience as consumers migrated to trusted brands with Michelob Ultra growing double digits and Bud Light gaining momentum in the quarter leveraged by innovations such as Bud Light Strawberry Lemonade.

Drive Smart Affordability

·Our Brazilian regional beers, Nossa, Magnífica and Legítima, continued to deliver strong results with volumes up 70% in the quarter. Our brands engaged with local communities by donating Cassava products (soap and flour), raising funds for local farmers while helping the local population in their basic hygiene and food needs.

·In LAS, our decision to focus on expanding the 1 liter returnable glass bottles in Paraguay led to better volume recovery and market share gains, while in Argentina we continued to expand our 340ml returnable bottles across our portfolio.

·In CAC, in Dominican Republic, we have continued to expand our affordability strategy through pack-price initiatives, offering different alternatives considering price points and occasions.

Future Beverages

Our highlights of the quarter were recent M&A transactions that have helped us enter emerging segments and continued to deliver strong results:

·In Canada, G&W continues to grow its Nutrl portfolio as vodka soda gains relevance in the country.
·In Argentina, Dante Robino has grown consistently since our combination in March, with sales volumes almost doubling in May and June versus last year due to an increased distribution footprint.

BEER BRAZIL

The volume performance in this quarter was impacted by a soft industry and unfavorable mix shift, as the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the partial shutdown of most of the on-trade. According to our estimates, we outperformed the industry. Our NR/hl was driven by unfavorable channel mix.

The increase in cash COGS/hl is mostly explained by unfavorable package mix and transactional FX. The cash SG&A decrease in the quarter resulted from a deep revision of our discretionary expenses which more than compensated increased distribution expenses driven by a higher weight of small format off-trade stores.

NAB BRAZIL

Volume performance was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions and the consequent change in consumption occasions, such as those related to sports and meals. Our NR/hl was driven by unfavorable channel, brand and pack mix shifts, as the restrictions imposed on the on-trade channel led to a shift to the off-trade channel as well as to an increased weight of multi-serve packaging versus single serve.

Despite the mix shift, the cash COGS/hl performance was mostly driven by the hard comparable in the previous year and operational deleverage. The cash SG&A decrease in the quarter resulted from a deep revision of our discretionary expenses.

CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN (CAC)

The net revenue performance was driven by the volume decline caused by severe restrictions adopted to mitigate COVID-19 spread throughout the region. Our NR/hl increased due to the successful implementation of our revenue management initiatives.

Despite a very tough volume decline, CAC managed to deliver 39.9% of EBITDA margin in the quarter due to the disciplined execution of our COGS and SG&A savings initiatives coupled with a reduced impact of operational deleverage due to the high mix of returnable glass bottles in the Dominican Republic.

LATIN AMERICA SOUTH (LAS)[3]

Net revenue decreased in LAS mostly driven by Bolivia and Argentina, where volumes were affected by COVID-19 restrictions. NR/hl increased as a result of our continued revenue management initiatives, including in Argentina where we face a highly inflationary environment.

The significant increase in Cash COGS/hl is mainly explained by transactional FX, operational deleverage and pack mix, while the cash SG&A growth was mainly driven by the high inflation in Argentina despite an effective revision of our expenses in the region.

CANADA

Canada volumes grew, partially driven by strong beer market share gains due to the increased demand for known and trusted brands and the performance of future beverages led by our seltzer portfolio and innovations. The net revenue decrease in Canada resulted from negative NR/hl driven by unfavorable channel and pack mix.

Cash COGS/hl increased, impacted by channel and pack mix coupled with transactional FX. The volumes of kegs, which have lower COGS, were negatively impacted by on-trade restrictions and shifts in pack mix. In terms of SG&A, Canada was able to deliver solid savings.

FINANCIAL REPORTING IN HYPERINFLATIONARY ECONOMIES - ARGENTINA

Following the categorization of Argentina as a country with a three-year cumulative inflation rate greater than 100%, the country is considered highly inflationary in accordance with IFRS.

Consequently, starting from 3Q18, we have been reporting the operations of our Argentinean affiliates applying Hyperinflation Accounting. The IFRS and CPC rules (IAS 29/CPC 42) require the results of our operations in hyperinflationary economies to be reported restating the year to date results adjusting for the change in the general purchasing power of the local currency, using official indices, before converting the local amounts at the closing rate of the period (i.e., June 30, 2020 closing rate for 2Q20 and YTD20 results).

The HY20 Hyperinflation Accounting adjustment results from the combined effect of (i) the indexation to reflect changes in purchasing power on the HY20 results against a dedicated line in the finance results, and (ii) the difference between the translation of the HY20 results at the closing exchange rate of June 30, 2020 and the translation using the average year to date rate on the reported period, as applicable to non-inflationary economies. 2Q20 results under Hyperinflation Accounting are calculated as the difference between reported HY20 and 1Q20 results.

The impacts in 2Q19, YTD19, 2Q20 and YTD20 on Net Revenue and Normalized EBITDA were as follows:

Impact of Hyperinflation Accounting (IAS 29/CPC42)        
Revenue        
R$ million 2Q19 2Q20 YTD19 YTD20
Indexation(1)  172.6  110.7  225.9  149.4
Currency(2) 10.3   (134.0)   (119.6) 98.8

Normalized EBITDA

Indexation(1) 77.6 42.3 92.7 43.9
Currency(2) 21.0  (62.7)  (53.9) 30.1
Total Impact 98.5  (20.3) 38.9 74.0
         
BRLARS average rate     10.5052 13.3657
BRLARS closing rate 11.0769 12.8661 11.0769 12.8661
(1)Indexation calculated at each period’s closing exchange rate.
(2)Currency impact calculated as the difference between converting the Argentinean peso (ARS) reported amounts at the closing exchange rate compared to the average exchange rate of each period.

 

Furthermore, IAS 29 requires adjusting non-monetary assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of our operations in hyperinflationary economies for cumulative inflation. The resulting effect from the adjustment until December 31, 2017 was reported in Equity and, the effect from the adjustment from this date on, in a dedicated account in the finance results, reporting deferred taxes on such adjustments, when applicable.

In 2Q20, the transition to Hyperinflation Accounting in accordance with the IFRS rules, resulted in (i) a positive R$ 84.8 million adjustment reported in the finance results; (ii) a negative impact on the Profit of R$ 21.4 million; (iii) a negative impact on the Normalized Profit of R$ 20.7 million; and (iv) no material impact on EPS, but a positive impact of R$ 0.01 on Normalized EPS.

In HY20, the consequences of the transition were (i) a positive R$ 164.9 million adjustment reported in the finance results; (ii) a negative impact on the Profit of R$ 50.9 million; (iii) a negative impact on the Normalized Profit of R$ 49.8 million; and (iv) no material impact on EPS, as well as on Normalized EPS.

The 2Q20 results are calculated by deducting from the HY results the 3M results as published. As a consequence, LAS and Consolidated 2Q20 and 2Q19 results are impacted by the adjustment of 3M results for the cumulative inflation between March 31 and June 30, as well as by the translation of 3M results at the HY closing exchange rate, of June 30, as follows:

RECONCILIATION BETWEEN NORMALIZED EBITDA & PROFIT

Both Normalized EBITDA and EBIT are measures used by Ambev’s management to measure the Company’s performance.

Normalized EBITDA is calculated excluding from Profit the following effects: (i) Non-controlling interest; (ii) Income Tax expense; (iii) Share of results of associates; (iv) Net finance results; (v) Exceptional items; and (vi) Depreciation & Amortization.

Normalized EBITDA and EBIT are not accounting measures under accounting practices in Brazil, IFRS or the United States of America (US GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to Profit as a measure of operational performance or an alternative to Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity. Normalized EBITDA and EBIT do not have a standard calculation method and Ambev’s definition of Normalized EBITDA and EBIT may not be comparable to that of other companies.

NOTES

This press release segregates the impact of organic changes from those arising from changes in scope or currency translation. Scope changes 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 as part of the underlying performance of the business. Organic growth and normalized numbers are presented applying constant year-over-year exchange rates to exclude the impact of the movement of foreign exchange rates.

Unless stated, percentage changes in this press release are both organic and normalized in nature. Whenever used in this document, the term “normalized” refers to performance measures (EBITDA, EBIT, Profit, EPS) before exceptional items adjustments. Exceptional items are either income or expenses which 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 indicators of the Company’s performance. Comparisons, unless otherwise stated, refer to the second quarter of 2019 (2Q19). Values in this release may not add up due to rounding.

Statements contained in this press release may contain information that is forward-looking and reflects management’s current view and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, Company performance, and finance results. Any statements, expectations, capabilities, plans and assumptions contained in this press release that do not describe historical facts, such as statements regarding the declaration or payment of dividends, the direction of future operations, the implementation of principal operating and financing strategies and capital expenditure plans, the factors or trends affecting financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. There is no guarantee that these results will actually occur. The statements are based on many assumptions and factors, including general economic and market conditions, industry conditions, and operating factors. Any changes in such assumptions or factors could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.
