MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

We entered 2026 with momentum, delivering a solid first quarter, marked by beer volume growth and estimated market share gains across several of our markets

Consolidated beer volumes grew by low-single digit in 1Q26, supported by the continued strengthening of our brands, megaplatforms activations, and disciplined commercial execution, leading to estimated market share gains across several of our markets, even in a still dynamic operating environment. Net revenue grew 8.1% and Normalized EBITDA increased 10.1%, with margin expansion of 60 bps.

This quarter’s performance materializes the strengthening of our business through 2025, with our commercial performance advancing further, supporting a healthy top- and bottom-line growth. We continued to make consistent progress on our growth strategy, with our three pillars advancing simultaneously, creating a virtuous cycle that sustains momentum.

Lead and grow the category

Beer continues to be a beloved and culturally relevant category in our markets, with solid fundamentals and meaningful headroom for growth. During the quarter, we leveraged the Carnival festivities, one of our key megaplatforms, particularly in Brazil, to activate multiple brands, reinforcing their connection with consumers and driving engagement during this important social occasion.

Across our footprint, we continued to build the segments that are shaping the future of beer, with premium beer volumes growing mid-teens, balanced choices increasing by low-sixties and, within that, the no-alcohol beer volumes growing mid-teens. In the core segment, we remained focused on strengthening the foundation from which our category can expand. While segment volumes declined by a low-single digit in the quarter mainly impacted by weather, trends improved sequentially compared to 2H25.

NR/hl excluding marketplace grew by 8.1%, as a result of revenue management initiatives and better brand mix. Overall, this performance reflects the strength of our more complete portfolio, enabling us to better address evolving consumer needs, expand consumption occasions, and support sustainable growth and value creation.

Digitize and monetize our ecosystem

Our digital ecosystem continues to strengthen our core business, while building new sources of growth, by enhancing our ability to understand and activate demand with greater precision, strengthening both our top-line generation and our relationship with customers and consumers.

On the business-to-business (“B2B”) side, BEES continues to be a key enabler of a better commercial execution at point-of-sale, providing better insights to improve assortment and revenue management. Our data and digital capabilities support us in better understanding our customer needs, activate sell-out and translate insights into sharper portfolio recommendations and commercial initiatives. BEES Marketplace also continued to scale, with GMV growing by 59%, mainly driven by the expansion of third-party partnerships (“3P”).

On the direct-to-consumer (DTC) front, Zé Delivery continued to play a strategic role in strengthening our direct relationship with consumers and in activating our brands. It represents mid-single digit share of our beer volumes in Brazil and is a key engine for insights and engagement, enhancing our understanding of how legal drinking age younger adults are relating to the category.

With around 80% of its user base made up of Gen Z and Millennials, Zé Delivery keeps us close to emerging trends, on top of accelerating both innovation execution and our test-and-learn cycles. In the quarter, it played a central role as an innovation hub for the Skol Zero Zero launch, enabling consumer feedback and deeper insights into expectations and brand perception, with close to 90% of consumers reporting neutral or improved brand perception after the trial. Moreover, Zé Delivery also continued to expand Monthly Active Users (MAU), by low-single digit, and GMV by high-single digit, while also advancing on its role as one of the major convenience platforms in Brazil.

As we approach the FIFA World Cup, our digital ecosystem will continue to play a key role in activating demand, leveraging the broader set of occasions that the event creates. Together, BEES and Zé Delivery continue to strengthen our execution, improving resource allocation and supporting the scalability of our growth strategy.

Optimize our business

Our disciplined approach to revenue management and resource allocation continued to be a key driver of profitability, cash generation and shareholder returns.

Cash COGS per hectoliter (“Cash COGS/hl”) increased by 8.5%, reflecting mainly FX and commodity impacts, while cash SG&A grew 4.8%. Against this backdrop, consolidated Normalized EBITDA increased by 10.1%, with margin expanding by 60 bps, to 33.6%, supported by EBITDA growth across all business units and margin expansion in four out of five. Normalized EPS increased by 0.5% in the quarter, to R$ 0.24, reflecting this performance, partially offset by net financial expenses, mainly driven by higher carry cost on derivative instruments.

Cash flow from operating activities totaled approximately R$ 3.2 billion in the quarter – the highest first-quarter operating cash flow performance in the last 10 years – increasing by around R$ 2.0 billion year-on-year, mainly due to EBITDA growth and improved working capital dynamics. Cash flow from investing activities reflected the deconsolidation of assets in CAC, as mentioned in note 5.1 to our financial statements.

Lastly, on May 4, 2026, our Board of Directors approved the payment of the second tranche of IOC related to the December 2025 declaration, totaling approximately R$ 1.2 billion, to be paid on July 6, 2026, as well as a new IOC distribution, totaling approximately R$700 million, to be paid by December 2026. The payout announcements, together with the execution of our ongoing share buyback program, reinforce our commitment to consistently return excess cash to our shareholders over time.

At the same time, we remain mindful that the global geopolitical environment continues to be dynamic. We are closely monitoring developments across our markets and remain focused on disciplined execution and resource allocation, while preserving the flexibility to navigate evolving conditions, and we maintain our Brazil Beer Cash COGS/hl (excluding non-Ambev marketplace products) guidance unchanged, expecting an increase between 4.5% and 7.5% for the year.

KEY MARKET PERFORMANCES

Brazil Beer: Record high volume and disciplined revenue management drove high-single digit top- and bottom-line growth

Operating performance: Volume grew 1.2%, estimated to have outperformed the industry, on top of last year’s strong performance, reaching a new all-time high for a first quarter, supported mainly by the premium brands performance. NR/hl excluding marketplace increased by 8.0%, driven by revenue management and positive brand mix. Cash COGS/hl excluding marketplace rose 14.6%, driven primarily by anticipated FX and commodities headwinds, while Cash SG&A grew by 3.4%, mainly reflecting efficiencies on our distribution expenses due to volume scale benefits. Normalized EBITDA increased by 7.6%, with gross margin and Normalized EBITDA margin contracting by 170 bps and 60 bps, respectively.

Commercial highlights: We continued to lead where the category is expanding the most, particularly in the premium, balanced choices and in the no-alcohol beer, with estimated market share gains across all these segments in the period. Our premium and super premium brands delivered low-twenties volume growth, led by Stella Artois, Corona and Original. Our Balanced Choices increased volumes by low-seventies, with Stella Pure Gold and Michelob Ultra more than doubling and no-alcohol beer volumes growing by low-teens, supported by Corona Cero and the launch of Skol Zero Zero. Core and Value portfolio together declined by low-single digit, given its higher sensitivity to weather and out of home occasions, although continued to improve sequentially, gaining market share versus last year. As for our digital initiatives, BEES Marketplace GMV doubled, supported by 3P expansion.

Central America and the Caribbean (CAC): Broad-based beer volume growth drove double-digit top- and bottom-line increase

Operating performance: Total volumes increased by 7.7%, with beer volumes growing across the region. Top-line increased by 10.0%, with NR/hl excluding marketplace increasing 3.1% mostly due to revenue management. Cash COGS/hl excluding marketplace decreased by 2.0%, and Cash SG&A increased by 15.4%, reflecting mainly increased distribution expenses and sales and marketing expenses, following our consistent brand investments. Normalized EBITDA increased by 13.6%, with gross margin and Normalized EBITDA margin expanding 360 bps and 130 bps, respectively.

Commercial highlights: In the Dominican Republic our performance was supported by our revenue management initiatives, including an improved price relativity dynamic compared to other alcohol categories, amid also a more supportive macro backdrop. The Presidente family continued to strengthen its brand equity, driven by consistent sales & marketing investments. In Panama, beer volumes increased by low-single digit, even amid a still soft industry. Our beer portfolio strengthened brand equity in the period, mainly driven by the Balboa and the Atlas families.

Latin America South (LAS): Double-digit top- and bottom-line growth, with margins expansion, supported by continued improvement in business fundamentals in Argentina and consistent performance in Bolivia

Operating performance: Volumes were down 0.5%. Top-line increased by 10.2%, with NR/hl excluding marketplace growing 11.4%, led by our revenue management initiatives. Cash COGS/hl excluding marketplace increased by 10.8%, while Cash SG&A increased by 10.5%, both reflecting a disciplined approach to cost and expenses management. Normalized EBITDA increased by 12.2%, with gross and Normalized EBITDA margins both expanding by 60 bps.

Canada: Beyond beer market share gains and stable beer market share drove a flat top-line, coupled with margins expansion, to deliver another quarter of bottom-line growth

Operating performance: Volumes decreased by 2.0%, with beer volumes in line with a soft industry, mostly affected by colder temperatures, while we continued to outperform in beyond beer. Top-line was flat (-0.0%), with NR/hl excluding marketplace growth of 2.0%, reflecting our revenue management initiatives and continued premiumization. Cash COGS excluding marketplace increased by 0.7% and Cash SG&A decreased by 3.4%, driven by distribution efficiencies, partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenses, due to consistent investments in our mega platforms calendar. Normalized EBITDA increased by 6.7%, with gross margin and Normalized EBITDA margin expanding 10 bps and 160 bps, respectively.

Commercial highlights: Beer market share was stable, according to our estimates, with performance led by Michelob Ultra and Busch, which were the top two volume share gainers in the industry. In Beyond Beer, we continued to capture growth, with estimated market share gains, supported by the success of Mike’s Hard Lemonade and Cutwater, which were two out of the three market share gainers in category.

NET FINANCE RESULTS

Net finance results in 1Q26 totaled R$ (1,056.5) million, a decrease of R$ 200.2 million compared to 1Q25, broken down as follows:

Interest income totaled R$ 566.6 million, mainly explained by: (i) interest income of R$ 319.0 million from cash balance investments in Brazil and Argentina, and (ii) interest rate on Brazilian tax credits of R$ 147.1 million.

Interest expense totaled R$ (534.6) million, mainly impacted by: (i) fair value adjustments of payables pursuant to by IFRS 13 (CPC 46) of R$ (311.3) million, (ii) lease liabilities interest accruals of R$ (72.2) million in accordance with IFRS 16 (CPC 06 R2), (iii) interest on tax incentives of R$ (44.1) million, and (iv) CND put option interest accruals of R$ (33.6) million.

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 standards (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., March 31, 2026 closing rate for 1Q26 results).

The 1Q26 hyperinflation accounting adjustment results from the combined effect of (i) the indexation to reflect changes in purchasing power on the 1Q26 results against a dedicated line in the finance results; and (ii) the difference between the translation of the 1Q26 results at the closing exchange rate of March 31, 2026, and the translation using the average year to date rate on the reported period, as applicable to non-inflationary economies.

The impacts in 1Q25 and in 1Q26 on Net Revenue and Normalized EBITDA were as follows:

Impact of Hyperinflation Accounting (IAS 29/CPC42)
Revenue
R$ million	1Q25	1Q26
Indexation(1)	76.4	68.6
Currency(2)	(136.3)	15.0
Total Impact	(60.0)	83.6
Normalized EBITDA
R$ million	1Q25	1Q26
Indexation(1)	(24.9)	(25.7)
Currency(2)	(18.9)	2.1
Total Impact	(43.8)	(23.6)

(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 1Q26, the transition to hyperinflation accounting in accordance with the IFRS rules resulted in (i) a positive adjustment of R$10.8 million reported in the finance results, (ii) a negative impact on the Profit of R$ 179.5 million, (iii) a negative impact on the Normalized Profit of R$ 179.4 million, and (iv) a negative impact of R$ 0.01 on EPS, as well as on Normalized EPS.

For FY26, the definition of organic revenue growth has been amended to cap the price growth in Argentina to a maximum of 2% per month (26.8% year-over-year, and three-year cumulative of 100%). For COGS and distribution expenses, the same price rate cap applies, calculated on a “per hectoliter” basis when applicable. For other income statement lines disclosed, organic growth is calculated pro rata to the capped net revenue growth. Such calculation method applies to amounts in local currency that are then converted from ARS (capped) to BRL using the applicable closing rate, and corresponding adjustments are made through scope changes when triggered.

RECONCILIATION BETWEEN NORMALIZED EBITDA & PROFIT

Normalized EBITDA, Normalized Operating Profit and Normalized Profit 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.

EBITDA is calculated excluding from Normalized EBITDA the following effects: (i) Exceptional items and (ii) Share of results of associates.

Normalized EBITDA, Normalized Operating Profit and Normalized Profit 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, Normalized Operating Profit and Normalized Profit do not have a standard calculation method and Ambev’s definition of Normalized EBITDA, Normalized Operating Profit and Normalized Profit 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.

Whenever used in this document, terms referring to percentage changes are intended to simplify the reader’s understanding and correspond to the following ranges, regardless of whether the variance is positive or negative: flat (0.0 - 0.1%); low-single digit (LSD: 0.2 - 3.3%); mid-single digit (MSD: 3.4 - 6.6%); high-single digit (HSD: 6.7 - 9.9%); double-digit (10.0 - 19.9%); low-teens (10.1 - 13.3%); mid-teens (13.4 - 16.6%); high-teens (16.7 - 19.9%); twenties (20.0 - 29.9%); low-twenties (20.1 – 23.3%); mid-twenties (23.4 – 26.6%); high-twenties (26.7 – 29.9%). For higher percentages that exceed the prior defined ranges, the same classification logic shall be applied accordingly.

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 and Operating Profit before exceptional items and share of results of joint ventures and to performance measures Profit and 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 first quarter of 2025 (1Q25). 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 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.
